You know, he really screwed himself over with that one. Man.
"I'm French! I cook French food! I'm going to make something Mexican while going up against basically the best Mexican chef in the US!" Uh, dur?
I feel kinda bad for him, but not as bad as I feel for Cindy Pawlcyn, who made something she's normally good at but got stomped by the judges... At least the judges weren't as intensely bizarre with the ratings as they were on the first episode. "This was a delicious example of one of my favorite dishes, beautifully prepared and presented. It was a delight from beginning to end and I truly, deeply loved it in every way. Two stars."
What on earth was he supposed to do with them? The French don't have "street food" in the sense that other cultures do. He wanted to give himself a leg-up with something that lots of people like, &, in that respect, chose wisely. It was, I think, the too-great amount of cheese that did him in, rather than what he made.
I also think the contest was unfair when one of the ingredients is actually rather common - I know lots of people who eat tongue, and can even tell you where to get a good tongue sandwich. Ok, it's in NY, but, still....
