I watched Top Chef this week. I have to say that this season the found has not wowed me. I mean the chefs did not even impress judges Tom Collicchio, Gail Simmons and Padma Lakshmi. The quickfire was to make a new spin on the family favorite- the hot dog. Radhika won the quickfire challenge with her Indian inspired hot dog. Then the elimination challenge was announced. The chefs were to cook at Tom Collichio’s famed New York Restaurant- Craft. They were to create appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The big surprise was that the chef contestants would be cooking for the judges and all of the New York based chefs that tried out to be a contestant on this season of Top Chef but did not end up being picked by the show’s producers. These chefs were very tough on the chef conetstants. The biggest error of the evening has two nominees- Ariane and Jill. Ariane’s dessert was so sweet that judge Padma Lakshmi spit the food into her napkin. Jill made an error in using an ostrich egg and not being able to defend herself at judges table. She stuttered and drew a blank and I felt bad for her. The top three were Jamie, Carla, and Fabio. Fabio won the elimination challenge. The bottom three were Hosea, Jill, and Ariane. Surprisingly, Jill went home.
