Duck with Wild Rice Cake
Manny: "We have duck breast with braised mustard greens, rice cake, and ancho guajillo and plum sauce."
Judges - conversation upon tasting
"I liked the rice cake. I think the greens worked well with it. The duck I wasn't so fond of - was too chewy for me."
"It all felt very separate to me, and maybe it's because Manny has given us so many similar dishes. The sauce, the thing, the meat."
"It's his style, and I don't know if he's able to break out of that."
"The fact that this challenge happened shows us our culture is becoming more mainstream, and to me, that's always a beautiful thing."
