Honestly, I have a problem with Game Chef feedback in its entirety. My distribution always ends up looking a little like:

20% assholes. Just straight-up jerks who want to hold court.

50% incompetent. Didn’t read the draft, don’t understand game design, fixated on their own interests.

25% well-meaning. Rah-rah, a nice couple sentences but they clearly aren’t on the same wavelength. It’s nice! But not useful. I think the encouragement is absolutely useful for other folks, though, so this is a net positive in my book.

5% actionable, useful feedback that isn’t just an ego stroke.

I have no solutions to any of this, other than feedback about feedback. Maybe tighter/narrower focus of the event itself (which just ratchets up the seriousness of the whole thing, which IMO is already a problem because of people like me).

I don’t know! But I’ve done five or six Game Chefs and this is pretty much how it always falls out.
