Tristen: "I'm going with a little bit of smoked beets, some beet pikliz."

Tristen: "I'm doing grilled beets with beet pikliz and a little bit of pork belly."

Tristen: "I want to kiss the pork belly on the grill, but the grill is full of other people's food and I don't really have time to wait. I need to do the opposite of what I wanted to do. Fry them. I just hope that it doesn't overcook."

Presenting to Judges

Tristen: "These are beets that were braised and glazed in a shadow beni epices, a smoked beet puree, beet pikliz, and pork belly that's been glazed in the reduction of the beet."

Judge: "Tristan, how did you smoke the beets?"

Tristen: "As I was grilling the beets, I was putting the wood underneath it just so that it picked up some of it."
