Top Chef 4/28/22--"Freedmen's Town" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: It was time for Restaurant Wars. Both spots seemed to be cohesive, with good food and no shots of servers forgetting what tables they were going to or backups in the kitchen. Matriarc went for Southern cuisine, lead by Ashleigh and Buddha doing front of house. No Nem did Southeast Asian, with Evelyn running the kitchen and Jackson doing front of house. Buddha admitted he watched previous seasons and took note of how to do things, and ended up with great service. Jackson wanted to serve family style and also two courses at once and then he didn't greet the judges or explain any dishes. Then he admitted to everyone he couldn't taste anything, which upset his team, as he waited until after judging. But in the end, he was sent home finally. I get that he's “a strong chef” but those front of house errors are the most basic errors. You gotta tell the judges who made what dish, come on. Ashleigh won for leading the other kitchen to victory. (click for more)

Top Chef 4/21/22--"Restaurant Wars" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: the Quickfire asked the chefs to cook Nigerian cuisine, which is very interesting and should have been the Elimination challenge. Real talk, wouldn't this episode have been better with the product placement in the Quickfire? Anyway, Buddha won immunity. Then everyone had to cook in teams and do dinosaur cuisine. I know. Evelyn, Nick, and Jackson had the best menu, which means Evelyn is on a roll and Jackson is not hurt at all by not being able to taste anything. Jo was eliminated for overcooking quail and having boring carrots. (click for more)

Top Chef 4/14/22--"Swallow the Competition" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: for the Quickfire there was some product placement and we were meant to believe a national brand would make gelato out of pork rinds. But Nick and Ashleigh still won immunity. Ashleigh was thrilled since she'd just returned from Last Chance Kitchen. The Elimination Challenge was to be inspired by some famous Texan women. Some of this was successful and some people just got inspired by women in their lives or whatever they felt like. Evelyn won for actually being inspired by Selena and making a well-balanced pretty dish. Monique made a weird bean salad with dry oysters so she was sent home. (click for more)

Top Chef 4/7/22--"Texas Trailblaze-hers" summary

 

Previously on “Top Chef”: we finally had a BBQ episode. There was also a Quickfire that Nick won but they made it a twist so whatever. For the Elimination challenge everyone had to make brisket and then be creative with it. Evelyn won by making a curry that Padma liked. Ashleigh had huge cuts of brisket and didn't season her meat properly so she went home. (click for more)
