Pig Face Stuffed Tamal
Oscar: "Sam Jones has a cornbread that reminded me a lot of masa. I want to make an homage to that with the tamal. My whole theme right now is, like, my country cousins." Oscar: "We use so much corn in Mexico, and I've always just seen there be a lineage there. Hopefully it worked out on the plate."
Presenting: Oscar: "This is a pig face stuffed tamal with chile colorado curtido and some salsa ahogada barbecue sauce."
RESULT: Oscar wins Round 5 (judges vote) and $5,000. The pitmaster collective vote went to Duyen.
{Padma}: "I really liked both dishes, but Oscar's, I got more pork."
