Mimi: "Montreal, being a French speaking city, I'm leaning into French cuisine. And I'm going to do an emulsified corn sauce and then a pork jus and a potato puree."

Later ... Mimi: "I've been running back and forth in the kitchen, and I realized my potatoes have been boiling on a back burner for a very long time. I'm fighting these potatoes a little bit because they've been over boiled. They're gonna be so gummy. But they are what they are, so I've gotta go with it. I need to just make sure that everything is seasoned correctly."

Presenting to the Judges: "I wanted to do a potato puree with corn beurre monte, and then I did a lightly brined pork that was just grilled and then the peach that hopefully lightens it all up."
