This was the 1st place dish, btw (both submitted by TB anon under different names). It doesn't look like much without an extensive explanation and walkthrough, but it received almost unanimous 20/20 scores.

The basic idea is a caprese salad served over a chilled pasta eaten in the style of zaru soba. It’s essentially a cold pasta dish where you take some noodles and various toppings and dip them in a light, flavorful sauce. The balsamic reduction is served on the side as a condiment to be added to taste.

Pictures to follow.
