👩🍳 Four Women, One Historic Final
Let’s talk about that Final Four real quick.

Your Final Four queens:
- Antonia Lofaso

Antonia beat Britt. Sara took down Lee Anne. And boom—we had a finale: Antonia vs. Sara, two fierce chefs with everything on the line. The showdown was no joke. The food? Next-level. The energy? Off the charts.
And yet, Antonia’s plate hit different. Her creativity, her control under pressure, her soul—you could taste it. The judges felt it. We felt it. And just like that, the belt was hers. 😍

This wasn’t just about bragging rights or a trophy (though, let’s be real—$150K and that sick championship belt don’t hurt 💵🏆).
For Antonia, this was personal. After coming so close in past seasons (remember that one-point loss?! 😩), this win was years in the making. And the fact that her daughter got to witness the whole journey? Ugh. Tears. 🥹👩👧
