About
Jimmy Pesto's entry in the contest, thrown together with ten minutes left on the clock and spat out by the judges on camera. There is no recipe on screen beyond his own description of it, so the reconstruction takes him at his word: oregano goes in three separate places and nothing else is allowed to compete with it.
Rubbing the dried oregano between your fingers over the bowl wakes it up, which is the only piece of technique in the entire build. Sliders rather than full burgers, mozzarella rather than anything sharper, and a flag in the top of each one. Without the flags it does not read as his.
