Who made this dish?

In this challenge, the randomizer selected the following conditions that had to be met by each chef: 


Protein: Halibut 

Product: Watermelon Radish 

Equipment: Metal Skewers 

Style: Sunday Supper 

Wildcard Ingredients: Canned Nacho Cheese 


Bryan evoked a backyard Sunday kebab supper by skewering halibut marinated in nacho cheese, dijon, miso, shiro dashi, and soy, alternated with maitake mushrooms glazed with nacho cheese. The skewers were cooked on a grill griddle plate and finished under the salamander. A nacho ocean ranch dressing was built from nacho cheese, yogurt, onion powder, garlic powder, and nori, pooled beneath the skewer. Watermelon radish was used two ways: spiralized into a crispy radish salad and made into a watermelon radish vinaigrette with olive oil. A rice paper chip, fried until puffed and crispy, was draped over the top as a chip-and-dip nod to Sunday snacking.

Hubert Keller praised the dish as perfectly executed under pressure, noting that halibut dries out quickly and calling the cooking a good execution. Maneet Chauhan admitted the nacho cheese had initially worried her as a whammy for the dish, but praised the chef for using it expertly without letting it dominate. She called the cooking of both halibut and mushrooms on the skewer impressive, though she wished for a touch of sweetness to round out the savoriness. Susan Feninger called the use of the radish incredible, praised the radish vinaigrette for its acidity, and said she would genuinely serve this as a Sunday supper, though her halibut was slightly overcooked. Bryan scored 80.
