The judges begin on the left end of the table during the savory round. In front of them are nine attempts at a Garbage Plate. Some look too fanciful to be anything like the Rochester, New York local cuisine. One has tiered ground beef incorporated, as if fondant was used to give it an unnatural smoothness. Another plate has honest-to-God buttresses.
There is a single plate that looks suspiciously like actual garbage located closer to the right end. I mean, there is a fly buzzing around it any everything, and
@ChebyshevII PE wants to give whoever baked that the benefit of the doubt, but there are way too many smug faces awaiting judgement instead of panicked sweating of a job half-assed.
@Audi driver, P.E. somehow takes a bite of the first plate, which at least has white hots. As they chew they remember hot dogs were...not in the storage room. They want to stop chewing, but the cameras are filming. As they continue to chew the questionable meat, a lone drop of sweat trickles from their brow line because they can't stop their brain from imagining what could be the substance they're eating that. As they painfully continue to masticate it, the taste begins to be a mixture both sweet and gamey at the same time. They swallow, barely, forcing it past the protesting throat muscles.
Their stomach makes an audible grumble of remorse when the morsel lands.
The other two judges continue on as
@Audi driver, P.E. catches their breath, making eye contact with the new medic on-Site just in case...something occurs.
The next two plates are unexciting, but they don't cause internal bleeding or explode, which in this competition is somehow not a given.
When
@RBHeadge PE visibly gags at the next dish, the garbage-Garbage Plate, as gasp comes from the bakers. World-renown chef? Gagging after they've eaten such unmentionables like Rocky Mountain oysters and MIL tuna bakes? GAGGING ON A POTENTIALLY NATIONALLY TELEVISED PROGRAM? UNSPEAKABLE.
@ChebyshevII PE, who still hasn't eaten anything on camera or in the presence of anyone, pokes at the now pulsating mass of something. "Can I ask who submitted this...particular dish for the traditional dishes challenge?" They look up, "I understand it was a random draw but...who would submit this in the first place?
A ripple from the assembled bakers before they turn as one on the culprit. '
@ChaosMuppetPE choose the dish! It's
@ChaosMuppetPE's fault!"
"I don't even know where Rochester is!" Someone else yells, obviously put out that their local cuisine wasn't picked.
"I think the Garbage Plate is a wonderful dish packed with tradition!" Protests
@ChaosMuppetPE, moving away from the forming mob, "What's not to like? Macaroni salad? Tots? Hot sauce?" They continue to back up, sidestepping a thrown rolling pin, only to be taken out by a KitchenAid mixer thrown by the super-petite
@txjennah PE.
As
@NikR moves over to "help", they notice the batter-splattered paper that has fallen from being tucked inside
@ChaosMuppetPE's apron. When they pick it up it details every single like and dislike of the judges, as well as potential bribes and 'special ingredients' they could smuggle in for the upcoming bakes. There is even a section with everyone's food allergies which, really low.
"Cheater" They hiss as they turn towards the now silent mob, speaking one of the deadliest words in televised competitions.
@ChebyshevII PE makes sure to Insta post the exact moment
@ChaosMuppetPE gets socked in the jaw by a random person.
"I'm innocent!"
@ChaosMuppetPE wails as they are heaved back upright, marched slowly to the judges and the plates. "I have no idea what that is! Or that the next round was going to be wedding cakes! I was holding it for someone! It's not mine!"
They begin to struggle when they notice the garbage-Garbage Plate coming back into view. They attempt to bite at the hands holding them in place as
@tj_PE spoons a large helping off the mass, which was now steaming. Their mouth is forced open by
@Ranger1316 squeezing their face until they succumb.
@ChaosMuppetPE was killed by the other bakers with a force-fed Garbage Plate special.
@ChaosMuppetPE was mafia.
