I got in touch with The Ultimate Taste Test admin thru email eager to find out who made it to the top 3, site admin said that results will be posted within the month via http:\/\/www.ourawesomeplanet.com<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Experience taught us that “change<\/em> is the only thing constant in this world\u201d. My mother\u2019s kitchen taught me that \u2018\u2019Love for Food\u2019\u2019 holds the top spot. Who can resist a mouth-watering baby back ribs or an inviting sight of mango bravo cake? Most people on a diet ended up saying that \u2018\u2019diet starts tomorrow\u2019\u2019. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It was worth the time and I look forward to UTT2015!<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s all Live, Laugh and eat Lechon<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n
