      Interesting that the competition was a calzone competition, and neither contestant made a calzone, and then they were judged by which dish was the most christmassy, not on which dish was the best calzone (or perhaps, least not-calzone).

    I love beef wellington, it's super tasty, but the idea of an italian beef calzone sounds amazing. Especially if you had a big tub of gravy, (not poured on), to submerge each bite into before eating would be heavenly. Would also fit with the theme of the calzone since you usually get a side of marinara to dip into.

    I feel like if I was presented with a beef wellington calzone I would expect a calzone cooked with the essence of a beef wellington, not just one stuffed inside pizza crust.
    Then again everything about this feels like the result of a fever dream pitch meeting at 3AM so maybe I'm just being a spoilsport.

    Brad being the best part of this series is slowly but surely becoming a favourite running gag of mine
    I think I've put my finger on why it's so; he reminds me of Hamish Blake's long lost American cousin

    I still think Sean won. When I think calzone, I think about the fillings. Andy's just seemed more like a twice wrapped Wellington

    Redemption at last for Andrew! So happy for both of them and I will probably try and do the Italian beef calzone some time soon for the fam. Can't wait.

    My man just made a beef Wellington and wrapped it in pizza dough 😂

    This needs to be redone! How are either of those calzones?! Clearly what constitutes a calzone was not discussed beforehand.
