Fish Tacos
Chef Amanda: "Southern Californians love mexican food, so I am making fish tacos."
Aaron Sanchez: "You know, the idea of a taco could be something very simple, very straightforward. What is your approach to the elevation factor?"
Chef Amanda: "My approach is I'm going to do it two ways, kind of like my interpretation of red and green sauce. I'm going to roast the fish and keep it nice and moist, and I'm going to make my own tortillas."

Judges talking behind the scenes:
"Amanda, being from Los Angeles, she's doing a baked fish taco."
"Yeah. Wow. And she's making her own tortillas. And I'm concerned it takes years to perfect the art of making tortillas."
"Yeah. And you're just gonna jump in there? Come on."
"My biggest question is, how is she going to elevate that? Because it sounds like a sort of meal you can get anywhere."
"Yeah. It has to be perfect."
