After an Hour, 92.7

-Punta Gorda, Fla.
-With cooking here in Punta Gorda nearly a quarter of the way done, FF chefs have worked up a 92.7 projected NCA score so far.

In their past 20 exhibitions, FF chefs scored above 98.0 six times out of seven the score after an hour was above 91.5.

The rookie prospect Aleck Monde has had a strong showing thus far, seeming to shake off his pre-debut jitters and scoring 12 NCA points already. Matter of fact, so far, Monde has the second most points of all the chefs present, the top slot belonging to Lisa Choi, who has racked up 14 in her first hour.

All of the turkeys for the exhibition had begun cooking in the roasters by 7:37 p.m (ET).
