Top Chef Wednesday 11/26
I watched Top Chef on Wednesday November 26th on the Bravo Network. This week was Thanksgiving week on Top Chef. The quickfire challenge was first. The contestants had to draw knives. The knives had numbers on them. These were numbers that were page numbers from the Top Chef cook book. The contestants had to put a new spin on the recipes of former Top Chef contestants. They started frantically to finish,when half way through Padma Lakshmi says that she and the guest judge want soup. Now they must turn their recipes into soups. Thy are given Swanson broth to help them make their soups. The top three in the quickfire challenge are Leah, Jamie, and Danny. Leah wins the quickfire and is given immunity for the next challenge. The contestants then get a video message from the Foo Fighters. The Foo Fighter are big fans of the show. They want the chefs to split up into two teams and cook the band and their entourage a Thanksgiving meal. Leah picks first she selects- Radhika, Stefan, Fabio, Jami, Hosea, and Melissa. The rest of the contestants are team cougar, Leah’s team is team sexy pants. Ariane cooked great turkey even though she only had microwaves and a toaster oven. Team Sexypants won for their great vegan stuffing and desserts. They got to go watch the Foo Fighters play and the other team had to do dishes and clean up. In the end, Richard was eliminated for his smores.
