i know i'm not supposed to, but i ended up voting for bart. i thought that his carrot-stuffed pork tenderloin and winter carrot salad were generally more interesting ways to use carrots than the shredded carrot salad/soup that we saw from the others, though it was kind of a close call anyway because lifexplosion's souffle looked really cool and was a pretty good idea, and his soup SOUNDED good but didn't look so hot (same with the cheesecake), and wc had really strong presentation, but on the whole i didn't really find the ideas of the dishes that appealing in concept. a lot of it had to do with camera quality, though. the lighting and dishing on bart's dishes were really good, and had all things been equal in that respect, i would've voted for lifexplosion probably, if he'd left the carrots off the cheesecake and found a way to make the soup look better.
