The tasters consider the verdict.
Let's start with presentation.
Looks pretty fine - although it does seem that the Chifley challengers are unable to get their nori rolls to stand on end and look neat in quite the same way that the profesionals do. And the sashimi was perhaps not quite geometrically perfect.
So let's go with 4/5
Flavour
The tasters struggled a little to get their teeth into the sushi - but we quickly realised this was cos the seaweed was tough. So for the next rolls (we ate as we rolled) we crisped up the seaweed on the hotplate (no mean feat when you have electrickery not gas) and it all became much easier. And ot all got eaten!
4.5/5
Innovation
Does chicken teriyaki nori roll count as innovation? I think so. And the pan-fried salmon. All of which was delicious. Oh - and the clever crisping of the seaweed.
Let's give it a 3/5.
Mess
Oh yes - plenty of this. From rice that seemed to leap out of rolls as they were being eaten to just the general disarray of the kitchen. Probably we'd have to give ourselves a 2/5.
Total score?
13.5/20
Beat that Randwick!
