My nephew is a chef in Asheville, NC. He entered a national food competition and this is his entry. I'm wondering what you think of it. Here is the description:
Scored 148.5 of a total 160 for the first elimination round.
Second place got 141
One of the score sheets:

A blackened mahi mahi po-boy, on a homemade French bread loaf that was infused with smoked shrimp, leeks, and cream cheese. Topped with spicy lemon arugula, fresh tomatoes, pickled onions and a crawfish remoulade. The remoulade used 16 teeny tiny quail eggs as the base, and tail meat and juices from fresh crawfish that were just an hour before driven up from New Orleans. Entire thing topped with local micro mezuna and wasabi greens for a little extra freshness.

Can you share the name of the restaurant? I have family in Asheville, would love to talk to them about it because that looks awesome, albeit it I have no idea how I would begin to eat it. Like a burger that looks amazing but it's 2ft tall.

Looks good.
The bread was infused with smoked shrimp, leeks, and cream cheese?
This doesn’t need to be in the description IMO.
Seems to be missing a word.

Looks delicious, iwei.
What does this mean? Does that mean he mixed in smoked shrimp, leeks, and cream cheese with the loaf before baking?

That is a very busy po boy, there's nothing poor about that. Give me a simple roast beef or fried oyster over that abomination.

Po boy looks tasty
The write-up/description could use some work, if we’re being honest

Looks tasty, though I don't understand how one would eat it like a poboy.
I also don't understand the infused bread.
Smoked shrimp can be very delicious. You just have to make sure not to overcook. A stove top smoker works well for those if you don't have a lot to do at once.
We did some smoked bbq shrimp in big foil pans one time that were really good.

This is meant as constructive criticism, not bashing.
It is spelled mizuna.
Infuse might be a poor choice for a descriptor. Are these ingredients baked in?
Need a comma in there between "crawfish" and "that" & "up" and "from". That whole sentence needs restructuring.
The sandwich sounds like it would be tasty to eat.

From the picture, the bread to ingredient ratio looks way off.

Probably not what you’re looking for, but remove unnecessary words or phrases to tighten up the description.
A blackened mahi mahi po-boy on homemade French bread infused with smoked shrimp, leeks, and cream cheese. Topped with spicy lemon arugula, fresh tomatoes, pickled onions, and a crawfish remoulade which uses quail eggs as the base and juicy, fresh Louisiana crawfish tails. Micro mizuna and wasabi greens for extra freshness.

I’d eat it and enjoy it but unless it’s a sandwich competition I am willing to bet I’d find lots of things I’d rather have.

Hell yea i'd try that, but that seems like a ton of flavors jammed into a sandwich.
Quail are already small, but now there's a tiny species i've been unaware of?!

Kudos to him, but we all want to know more about the bread. Is the writer using the term “infused” as most of us would understand: that those flavors were in some way baked into the loaf? Because if the smoked shrimp/leek/cream cheese is simply a spread or condiment applied to the the bread, choose a different word.
