It’s between Thomas Sjögren and Jonas Lagerström in the final of “The Chefs’ Battle”.
After a solid lead, one of them only needs one more vote to win.
But then a dramatic twist takes place – the other finalist instead takes it home.
– I am speechless, states the winner.
In the final of the “Kokkarna kamp All-Star” Thomas Sjögren and Jonas Lagerström are now competing to take home the win, and not only that – whoever wins will be the first to win Kokkarna kamp twice. Six years ago Thomas took home the win in the program and four years ago it was Jonas who took first place.
In the final, the eliminated chefs are back to act as a jury in the final stage, where Thomas and Jonas must compose and prepare a three-course menu each in a total of 90 minutes.
– Three dishes. 90 minutes. It gets hectic, notes Thomas.
In addition to the votes of the eliminated chefs, the medals they have collected over the course of the season also count as one vote. In the fight for medals, Thomas has been superior, and he steps in with a total of eight. Jonas has collected three.
Only need one vote to win – then it completely turns around
When the other chefs hand out their votes, it’s fairly even between the finalists, until all but two cast their votes for the main dishes. Then Thomas has a big lead and only needs one more vote to claim the win.
But, there won’t be another vote. Not a single one. The last two main course votes go to Jonas – as well as all dessert votes.
The winner is therefore Jonas and Thomas ends up in second place, who states that it is very sad to fall on the finish line.
– It’s completely insane. I don’t know what to say, I’m speechless. I was completely out of control there in the middle, I thought I was gone. Totally crazy! says Jonas.
