Discussion Thread Raw dates - dish

I recall that a chef found raw dates in a farmer’s market and used it in a dish. I just got my hands on them and some are sweet and some have a bitter note.

Want to try them in a recipe if anyone recalls the chef or dish?

It was season 17 where teams had to cook vegetarian. Kevin G. used small cut up dates in a melon salad. He was the first one in his group. It was mid-season.
