I’ve been wallowing in bed for the past 24 hours, getting up every 3 hours for a bathroom run.

When I was finally hungry enough to eat, porridge was the only thing that I could handle.

What lousy way to end the cycle.

I don’t have the wherewithal to do a full analysis of Cycle 4, so I’ll just present a highlight reel.

BEST DISH ALL AROUND

(4.036 Braised Babyback Ribs with Siraegi Kimchi)

One of the best dishes in the history of GMTD.

BEST DISH (BY ME)

(4.073 Poulet Poêlé à l’Estragon)

Not that the dish per se was that spectacular or special, but it did become my default method for cooking whole chicken.

BEST DISH (BY W)

(4.357 Pear & Honey Tonic)

Unexpected, unprecedented, unforgettable.

MOST MEMORABLE MEAL

(4.227 Köttbullar med Lingonsylt)

This moment encapsulates two of the most significant achievements this year: (i) making a new friend, hopefully for the long haul; and (ii) feeding Swedish meatballs to a Swede, in my own home, with lingonberry jam from Sweden, a gift from him to me – both testaments to the power of GMTD.

BEST DISH (RESTAURANT – KOREA)

(4.179 The Piyang MNM)

BEST DISH (RESTAURANT – PHILIPPINES)

(4.270 The Original – Verena)

Such a simple yet inspired innovation.

BEST DISH (RESTAURANT – SINGAPORE)

(4.267 Hainanese Chicken Rice)

The Singapore Diet: 48 hours, 10 meals, 10 venues, 21 items.

WORST DISH

(4.275 Mr K)

Whoever was responsible for this should’ve been fired, seriously.

56,319 total hits during Cycle 4.  Up from 41,764 in Cycle 3, 16,156 in Cycle 2, and 2,015 in Cycle 1.
