"I have made summer rolls before."
Top Chef
"Leia, in your summer roll, unfortunately,"
Top Chef
"there was a lot of sinew in my first bite,"

"so I had to spit it out."
Top Chef
"It was so large and overstuffed."

"- Right. - It just completely fell apart."

Top Chef
"and calling it a summer roll."
Top Chef
