Round 1 winner: Simone Falco — advanced to face Bobby.
Round 2 · Bobby lost
Simone Falco beat Bobby with Ossobuco.
Ossobuco's three-hour braise builds fat and richness. The gremolata cuts through it. Skip the gremolata or apply it too early — and the citrus oil evaporates — and the dish reads as one-note. Bobby's gremolata did not cut through.
