Top Chef: Foo Fighters Thanksgiving

In the quick fire the contestants draw knives to select recipes from previous seasons. However a few minutes into the contest Padma throws a wrench into their plans. They have to turn these recipes into a soup!
The standouts were Jamie, Leah and Daniel. Leah took the win and immunity.

The elimination challenge was to cook thanksgiving dinner for the Foo Fighters and their entourage. However the real challenge will be the kitchen they are given. One burner and a slew of microwaves and toaster ovens. They are given some time to adjust their plans.

Team Sexy Pants versus Team Cougar. Interesting names.

Team Cougar goes first. The fig stuffing was not received well. The mac and cheese (with bacon) was loved. Ariane's turkey was done perfectly. A good win for her.

Team Sexy Pants had a very good vegan cornbread stuffing. Their turkey was not as good as Team Cougar's.

They went up to deserts now. The tiramasu that was made by Team Sexy Pants was smart and well received. Team Cougars pumpkin mousse was not good. The smores were not as well received as I thought it would be.

Team Sexy Pants won. I was a bit surprised by that. I was already writing up a paragraph for Team Cougar's winning. That means one member of Team Cougar has to go home.
At judges table the team stuck together pretty well. No real finger pointing, just compliments. That was good to see.

It comes down to Jeff, Daniel and Richard. Richard leaves after failing to execute his banana smores. Once again the lesson is STAY AWAY FROM DESSERTS ON TOP CHEF! They are poison to your chances.
