As Jenny McCray reflected on her win at the Adobo Throwdown 3.0, she felt honored and proud, knowing that her family, friends, and colleagues were equally thrilled. Her journey in cooking began at a young age, and she developed a passion for experimenting with new recipes. Her winning adobo recipe was inspired by her late grandma Amy, who taught her the importance of adding flavor without measuring cups or spoons. With confidence boosted by her win, Jenny is looking forward to competing in the professional level competition next year.

David Ritualo, the winner of the lumpia competition, expresses his gratitude for being selected. He has been making lumpia for as long as he can remember, and his three boys are his biggest inspiration. His greatest lesson to them is that they should never limit themselves and always believe they can achieve anything.

David created a unique lumpia by rolling and deep-frying homemade New York-style cheesecake.

As a perfectionist, David struggles with time management, but his optimism and desire to do more often get the better of him. He is grateful for the support of his family and friends, who push him to improve.

Overall, David found the experience to be amazing, and he loved the vending setup. He thanks everyone for the opportunity and encourages them to enjoy the ride.
