Judges' Comments

"Soo, I'm curious to know what the point of inspiration or the through-line for your dish was."

Soo: "I just wanted to just have super-acidic and bright flavors. It wasn't really a central theme.  

Judge: "Curry, miso, salsa verde, your dish felt like a potluck."

"It tasted like a raw casserole, like before you bake it, and it doesn't really come together."

"But of all the butter emulsions that we had today, I actually thought yours was by far the best."
