First of all, it was great to see a fellow Asian on the show and because I grew up in Hacienda Heights, that much more interesting you live in Diamond Bar. Congrats on the show.
The thing I most remember about you on BBQ Pitmasters was how you cringed in disgust at a sauce you made for a particular competition, but yet you still used that sauce for you ribs because you thought that's what the judges would like. This seems odd to me because if you do indeed win, are you truly proud of your final product? Would you serve your "winning recipe" at a dinner party for friends?
And winners proudly display their 1st place ribbons/trophies at their BBQ restaurants... if you're hired to cater an event based on the marketing of "most winning BBQ team in CA"... do you serve the competition recipe?
I hope this doesn't sound like a negatively stated question... I don't mean it in that way and I'm just very curious about this topic. Thanks!
