Elimination Challenge: Chefs are challenged to create a healthy, delicious, and filling box lunch meal for the members of the Chicago police academy. The meal must contain at least one ingredient from each of the the following categories: whole grain, lean protein, fruit and vegetable. Any final preparation step (such as microwaving) must be completed by the diners. The Quickfire winner (Spike) is given ten additional minutes to shop, and first choice of each of the four required ingredients, which the other chefs are then not permitted to use. (Spike chose bread, chicken, tomato, and lettuce as his exclusive ingredients.) he just used the win to make everyone else mad, but not really help him. his food sucked anyway, because he just such simple ingredients just to hurt the others. which it kind of didn't...
WINNER: Dale (Lemongrass bison cabbage wrap with brown rice and herb salad)
ELIMINATED: Andrew (Salmon roll with parsnip-pine nut "rice" and pickled ginger wasabi) the kid didn't actually use rice, so he didn't have a whole grain. dumb. i loved andrew
