Judges (Gail Simmons, Tom Colicchio, Kristen Kish)

"All right, enjoy biting into Michelle's dish. I mean, the smoked oyster mayonnaise is the star of the show for me." 

"I think the one thing for me that I found to be just a little overcooked was the rice inside of the dirty rice cake. Yeah, the crunch on this catfish is delightful."

At the judges table ...

"Michelle, I thought the catfish was absolutely beautifully cooked."

"Yeah, it was so good. If you just served that catfish with the oyster mayo. It didn't even need the dirty rice."
