Salmon Cappucino
Cesar: "I'm working with coffee. Coffee is nice and roasty. It makes me think of a dish at a place I used to work at. It was salmon crudo with coffee oil, so I know it works. Cured salmon, coffee, mustard on top. Just make it look like a cappuccino."
Lana: "Cesar's adding smoked salmon to his coffee, and personally, I don't see the vision, but the man just did a pickle custard that was one of the best things Tom's ever eaten in his life. So who am I to question him?"
Later, Cesar: "I take these little cups, make it look like a cappuccino. Slices of salmon at the bottom, a little bit of coffee crumble. I think the dish looks cute. I hope they get it."
Presenting to Judges
Cesar: "I made salmon cappuccino. So in the bottom, we have cured salmon, celery root that's been pickled with coffee and coffee mustard and a coffee crumble."
