Deep Fried Salmon Croquettes
Tori: "I'm Tori. I'm a high school english teacher, and I made deep fried salmon croquettes with a purple sweet potato puree."
Gordon Ramsay: "Why croquettes?"
Tori: "Being a millennial, you grow up in the kitchen. You watch your mother, you watch your grandmother. However, you're eager to try new things. YouTube at your fingertips, you just become a little bit more adventurous."
Gordon Ramsay: "Visually, it looks quirky. A little touch of Picasso going on with the purees."
Judge: "I have to say, this doesn't feel super millennial to me. The swoosh seems very nineties, but I feel like the creativity is all millennial, so thank you. Let's see how they taste."
Gordon Ramsay: "You know, Tori, it tastes as quirky as it looks when you have something like this, which is, in essence, kind of a finger food. This sweet potato puree has no place being on the plate. It just kind of seems off and disjointed. I'm sorry. For me, it's going to be a no."
Judge: "I like the presentation, but the croquettes are very dense. It's just like flaked salmon rolled in sweet cornmeal. Okay, so I'm sorry. For me, it's a no."
Gordon Ramsay: "That's two no's, unfortunately. What a shame. Yeah. It's not pedestrian, but it is basic."
