I thought Ester Choi should have won. I thought the theme was your life story using seafood. Meaning your story was the main theme or topic, using seafood. Being Asian in America is not the easiest because everyone expects so much from you. I loved her story and dishes which were much better looking and cohesive. Iโm sure Estersโ Grandmother was very proud of her, but I feel she was robbed. It was almost that at least 2-3 of the Iron Chefs played it safe. One dish, the tostada, was just a seafood tostada on a plate. Seriously, as a Japanese-American, not too proud.
