- Pascal acknowledged the contest with a teary-eyed emoji and heart on social media, while Gountas gave his first interview to The Hollywood Reporter and appeared on The Daily Show.
- The event boosted local community spirit, gave Gountas newfound visibility, and owner Garcia hopes it will bring Pascal to try the restaurant's food soon.
