For us, our team's credo is good teamwork. We all want to have fun, we're not here to win, rather just get the best out of it and have a nice weekend.

It's just what I want at that time. There are times I make herb potatoes with just a bratwurst, but I do like a beef steak. That is just something really awesome, you've got to say. Sometimes, just a beef steak."

SWAT", DANIEL NONNENMANN, SAYING: "Keep it simple and stupid' doesn't mean anything other than that we don't try to conjure up what doesn't belong. A pork neck is a pork neck, leave what's originally there and keep the aroma, the side dish is cauliflower, they still taste like cauliflower, and that's the key to it."

That is the main thing I value, but I got already two." VARIOUS OF JUDGES EATING (SOUNDBITE) (German) JUROR, NICO NAUMANN, SAYING: "Points are removed when classic mistakes happen with the cooking. Or if the taste simply isn't right. If it's boring. There are definitely half points removed for that."
