Top Chef ™ Elimination Challenges - Judges call-outs

Cod and Shrimp Bomba with Saffron Aioli

Cod and Shrimp Bomba with Saffron Aioli

Kat and Corwin teamed together on this challenge and were both eliminated. The judges comments were as follows:


Corwin: "We both said we wanted to do a bacalao dish. We love salt cod. We wanted to let that represent both of us."


Judge: "Were you breading them to order?"


Corwin and Kat: "We breaded them the day itself. We made our base and let that marinate overnight, and we just breaded the morning off."


Judges: "Flavors were good. And it's fried nicely. But the inside was really mushy."


Corwin and Kat: "We were concerned also about overworking it, having a filling that ran the risk of being overly dense."


Judge: "Yeah, sure, I understand that, but that binder was just really wet."


Judge: "Did you do anything to the fish and the shrimp before you put it in there?"


Corwin and Kat: "We seasoned the mix with quite a bit of salt."


Judge: "That was before you formed the cake? It makes sense. You know, salt leaches liquid, right? It's like, that's what it does. It pulls the moisture out."
