I suppose he was rattled. Well, I hope that was the problem because as a sushi chef he really should have known the answer!
I don't eat sushi, so what is the difference besides rice?
Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

The rice is the difference. Sushi is vinegared rice.
Sashimi is raw fish.
Sushi has to have the rice but doesn't need to have the fish to be sushi.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am pretty sure that while sushi can be non-fish, sashimi should be just fish.

Lee Anne makes some really good points in her blog about Alex vs Melissa, btw. (She agrees that the judges pretty much had no choice about sending Alex home, but thinks Melissa deserved the boot more.)

The rice is the difference.
He did say sashimi was rice-less. It was hard to hear because he sort of got cut off by Rocco re-asking the question a different way, so I'm guessing he thought he answered it.

Oh good! I didn't hear that at all - I heard him mumble something about "Well it depends on what kind of sushi you're talking about," but maybe that was in response to a different question that was edited out.

Seriously. She really bugged me when she was saying over and over how much she wanted to be there. Who cares?! This isn't ANTM!

Yes, she was following Leah's advice.
Leeanne has some very good points in her blog about why Melissa's dish was so bad: boiled down to this - if she didn't taste it - she should have; if she did taste it - then she has no palette.

I hate sh*t like that. We just hired someone for an exec asst position and the higher-ups chose the new person instead of the temp we had (who was amazing) because "she seemed to want it more."

I got really pissed at Fabio for saying how he didn't like the Today Show women judging his dish because they had very unsophisticated palates. Excuse me, these are New York celebrities, I think they're familiar with varying cuisines and food of all sorts! It's part of the same attitude that the coasties had towards Chicagoans during the last season.
Grrrr.
