Shezi says he was nervous, especially as someone who critiques high-end food, but figured it was worth it if he had a chance to help people in need.
“I figured my ego could step aside… The worst that could happen is that people would make fun of me. The best is that I could change people’s lives.”

However, he says the triumph of having the judges recognise his efforts makes it worthwhile.
“I feel like I am finally ready to stand behind the flame and say I can cook.”
