Canapes - Olive Tapenade & Toast, Stuffed Tempura Olive, Green Olives with Parmesan Cracker| Contestant Dish

Chef Kevin: "I have tapenade, tempura, olives stuffed with red bell pepper, and on the side, like a Parmesan cracker with green olives."

Gail Simmons: "So before turning the olives into each component, did you do anything to tame the salt?"

Chef Kevin: "No, that's why we wanted to use the olive first. And after this course, we will continue with layering."

Judges: "Did anyone feel like Kevin's dish is just too salty?"

Judges: "Yes."

Judges: "There's so many different textures, but all I taste was olive."

Judges: "This wasn't a composed dish. It was, you know, three snacks on a plate."
