Fried Pickled Cannolo with L'Express Steak Tartare

Massimo: "I'm making a fried pickle cannolo with a classic French steak tartare. It's so risky doing a classic, especially when you have a beacon in the sky that you could compare it to."

Massimo: "I'm going to start rolling out my cannoli dough to do a test. The fried pickle cannolo. It's going to be the element that is going to have the wow factor of the dish."

Presenting to Judges:

Massimo: "I was inspired by a true Montreal classic, the steak tartare from L'Express. It's the best in the world. So we made a hybrid classic French tartare with a deconstructed hybrid of a canolo and a fried pickle."
