First you could use a ring mold to cut the chicken skin into a perfect circle before they cool and become brittle.

Then use a slightly smaller ring mold to cut a perfectly circle fried quail egg.

Layer everything according to presentation and don't hide the quail egg on the bottom under everything.

Start with the chicken skin as the base, add sliced duck breast, then add a dollop of ailoli, arrange the vegetable on the aioli, top with the quail egg, and garnish with shaved cured egg yolk and chives.

That's the truth toof. It is definitely high level conception. I did not mean my post to suggest otherwise. Sorry if it came off that way.

I meant this as a compliment. holygrale has some amazing chops for an amateur cook. He conceptualizes dishes better than some 10 year veteran cooks I know. You said it yourself, this is an "amateur AF dish" and I agree.

All I'm saying is it is about three steps away from being a first course at a white table cloth, jackets required type place. Take that as a affirmation of how next level this dish is.

Not sure why anyone's feeling got hurt.

Ehhh its the way you come across
This is a sports message board cooking contest , a dish like holygrales should be lauded for 41 pages before a criticism is leveled

Not to mention Ive paid significant money for dishes much less appetizing than RFNSwanson’s at Soji recently, no disrespect to Soji fine vibe and all but the drunken noodles is pretty much all you got and some dude with a house full of dogs, a sportscar and a huge beard up in here doing your thing better than you do it

These people should be celebrated

Taking 12 hours this summer working on my undergrad, but if you really care, here's a LINK to previous competitions I've competed in.

Where's your dish, hoss?

If it was a create a drinking challenge I would be in, I don't cook I rec-tec



Oh thanks for the link to the submission challenges, how many have you won? I'm a fan on NolaGT, Grale is fairly pedestrian as he just copies Food Network dishes.

I think y'all misinterpreted Dropper's intention. He's certainly not a troll and wasn't insulting the dish. He's in all of the competitions and is very complimentary towards other competitors.

I thought my comment was supportive "Maximum effort". He always goes all in. The andouille smorgasbord, mardi gras pasta, beef cheek stew just to highlight a couple of memorable items.

Guess that was overlooked. I follow Cody on Instagram. He's very creative and takes risks.

All I was saying is that he has the ability to take his cooking to the next level with a little refinement and he probably knows that.

Edit to add:
What I mean is (before this gets misconstrude), he is a natural and the closest on this board I have seen of an amateur cook who could be professional cook. His innate ability to combine color, flavor, and textures is impressive.

Not sure why these folks are trying to side track the submission thread. All of us who have participated from the start of these competitions know that no harm was intended. Jeez…..
