Judy Ann Santos is full of gratitude after meeting world-renowned chef and culinary icon Gordon Ramsay.
The actress and chef was among the participants who took on the British celebrity chef's recent cooking challenge held at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
In an Instagram post, the 2024 MMFF Best Actress shared a series of photos from the wonderful event and said that everything felt surreal.
“Wow… sa paanong paraan ko ba pwedeng maikwento ang araw ko today? Nakakaloka? Nakakabaliw? Napaka surreal!! Never in my wildest dreams that this would happen in my lifetime.. Ilang beses kong kinukurot yung sarili ko.. totoo ba to? Pina-prank ba ko? Pero… totoo e..!!! Gusto kong tumambling sabay split!!
“Simpleng halo-halo lang naman that we have to finish building in 10 [minutes], but that was the fastest, nerve-wrecking 10 minutes of my life! But, it was the best!” she wrote.
Judy Ann then expressed how grateful she is for this experience and thanked everyone who made it possible.
She went on, “Thank God my husband and our youngest was there to calm my nerves and palakasin ang loob ko.. to my glam team.. (yes! Pinaghandaan ko talaga to ng todo!) Maraming salamat ng bonggang bongga! To my ojph and mylaunchpad family… ang saya ['di ba?] Grabe 'to.. grabe talaga… and, of course, to my fellow chefs… cheers to all of us!!! Mabuhay at ilalaban ko ang pagkaing Pilipino!!”
Apart from Judy Ann, food content creator Ninong Ry, culinary Danica Lucero and Gordon Ramsay Bar and Grill PH Head Chef Bea Therese Qua also participated in the cooking challenge.
