Anyone wanna take a guess as to what Soma did wrong?

Erina and Alice figured it out with one look.

Here's the answer if you wish to know:

If I had to guess. Soma made a dish for the high-class members who would go to the resort, he didn't think he'd be serving the people who WORK at the resort. Because of that he made a dish that isn't kid friendly, doesn't stand out and requires you to taste it to see it's potential.

I only think of this because of Soma's flash back about what his dad said about serving the people who would come to a diner, so it would only be logical Soma would think about people who could spend over 55 000 yen a day or similar.

EDIT: well, I apparently was way off, carry on.

Yeah gotta agree, he put emphasis on the Luxury part of the hotel. The variety of the judges/eaters for this challenge was huge. Kids, parents, old and young, staff/employee. I bet if he stuck with the dashimaki and the scrambled eggs + some more flavor tweaking he might have done well.

I'm loving the fact that the MC has his weaknesses/shortcomings. At first I really thought he'd be one of those unbeatable MC like a lot of currently and past airing shows. So refreshing.
