Esquites "Risotto" with Burnt Tortilla Aioli

Esquites "Risotto" with Burnt Tortilla Aioli

Chef Manny, presenting to judges: "I always think that cooking is a metaphor for chaos. Mine is esquites risotto with a burnt tortilla aioli. The bitterness got balanced with the acidity of the lime and the fat on the mayo."

Judging


"Manny's dish really surprised me with the similarity to risotto and the burnt tortillas, I think, really adds a unique element to it as well."


"The rounded flavors, it's very balanced. Texturally."


"The only problem I had with Manny's dish is it's a little more safe. But I think the chaos is maybe that simplicity."
