Savannah: "I made potato pave, chicken sauce reduction, and a jam made of burnt onion and cherry. I think that potatoes have everything that they naturally need to make a pave. We just have to add heat and pressure, and so heat and pressure of this competition, I realized I naturally had everything I needed. I just needed these experiences to bring it out."

Judges: "Well said."

Kristen Kish: "That's probably one of the best deliveries and explanations of edition I've ever heard."

Judge: "She's very articulate, very thoughtful, great storyteller."

Judge: "And to make a pave in that amount of time, that's hard."

Judge: "And it's a nice pave. It does take a lot of guts to use the pave as the star of the plate."

Judge: "And I just adored the sauce, the cherries, and the caramelization of the onions. I just thought it was a lovely pairing, and I feel like storytelling is the thing that separates good food from exceptional food. I love a potato pave, and I love it even more now that Savannah told us why she made a potato pave."

"It shows growth. I mean, that's it."

"No question."
