Behind the Scenes of ‘Top Chef’ Season 22’s Restaurant Wars | Eater
"Presented as a temporary “granny chic” Mexican‑Italian concept behind a pink wall for the same Restaurant Wars service, this pop-up offered a similarly mixed but compelling experience: diners reported enjoying the food (especially desserts) while feeling constrained by the odd logistics and limited context of a TV challenge. With little public detail beyond its playful concept, the team ultimately left guests and fellow media with the same measured takeaway as the opposing team — competent execution and enjoyable moments, but not necessarily definitive, restaurant‑level greatness." - Bettina Makalintal
