You are partially correct! A "classic" is referring to something that has been around for a long time but is still considered great and the best of its kind. "A twist" means an unexpected development or turn. When he says "that is a great twist," he is telling his audience that he added items to this dish to enhance it; to make it even better. Here are examples of "classic" being used. Ex: That movie is a classic. Ex: He has a collection of classic cars. Here are examples of "a twist" being used. Ex: The movie had a great plot twist. Ex: The couple had a twist of fate in their relationship.
