Polenta Cake with Black Walnut Ice Cream
Cesar: "This might be a little different to start with, but I kind of want to do, like, a dessert with the polenta."
Cesar, later: "For my polenta, I'm thinking of making a polenta cake with black walnut ice cream. I know the other guys are going to do grit style, and I just kind of want to do a little different. I'm really excited for the first course. It's a dessert."
Presenting to Judges
Cesar: "I did a polenta cake with a black walnut ice cream and candied prosciutto."
Judge: "What made you decide on ice cream?"
Cesar: "I think it's a good pairing with, like, a nice polenta cake or something."
Judges
"Cesar, your flavors were lovely. The caramel, the ice cream. But the polenta cake, to me, just was a little bit heavy and a little dry."
