Episode 7: Improv
Quickfire Challenge: Each chef is to make a dessert that will please the judges. The winner will receive immunity in the next challenge and have his or her Quickfire recipe placed in the Top Chef cookbook.
The Best: Dale, Lisa, Richard
The Worst: Antonia, Mark, Spike
WINNER: Richard (Banana scallops with banana guacamole and chocolate ice cream) he's like, really good
Elimination Challenge: The chefs attend a performance of the improvisational comedy troupe, Second City. During the performance, the Second City actors obtain combinations of a color, emotion, and ingredient from the audience, creating five descriptions for meals that the chefs are then to prepare. The chefs freely split into teams and select the order for the courses, and, as they discover during cooking, are unable to use electric mixers or food processors as they have been removed from the Top Chef kitchen for this challenge. The chefs also discover as they cook that — while an elaborate table was present in the kitchen — they will be serving their meals at the Top Chef house, and that they only have 20 minutes to move to the house from this announcement. this was a funny challenge, it was good to see some personalities come out, while others were not so cool
First Course: "Yellow Love Vanilla" (Andrew & Spike) i think they made that squash soup, but they had no electronics, so they had to hand squash the squash "with love" lol.
