Melon and Crab Aquachile

Melon and Dungeness Crab Aquachile, Pickled Bamboo, Furikake Tostada
Judges (Gail Simmons, Tom Colicchio, Kristen Kish)
"Overall, I like Kaleena's flavor profile."
"It's just pretty flat to me. And then this chip, it tastes stale, it's greasy."
"The chip wasn't great, but the rest of this was delicious."
At the judges table ...
"I thought the crab flavor came out nicely, but the big problem was the tortilla. It wasn't crispy."
"It was greasy."
"You think of Aguachile. You think of, like, spicy and, like, really fresh. It was just a little boring."
