Top Chef Just Desserts: Dessert in Disguise
I think last nights episode of Just Desserts was one of the coolest episodes yet! If you missed it, read through and look at the pictures below.
Lets start from the beginning, shall we. I couldn’t stop laughing when Chris and Matt were pouring out Captain Crunch for Carlos. So silly! I liked how Matt and Chris were eating cereal and then Orlando and Sally were making a big gourmet breakfast. Yum! I wish I had chefs to cook for me every morning. Anyways throughout this episode we got an even more in-depth look at the cheftestants lives pre Top Chef. Apparently Matt used to be a “bad” boy who used to break into homes and steal cars. Wow! I can’t picture that at all, but if you say so. I hate to admit it, but Orlando grew on me a little in this episode. It probably had something to do with the story of his family when he came out, but he lightened the story when he talked about liking “hot dudes walking down the street.” HAHA!
On to the challenge. No quick-fire this week. Instead they jumped right into the elimination challenge. First they rolled out a little cart with different flags on it. Each chef picked a country that they wanted to make a dessert from. Of course it couldn’t be that easy! Gail throws them a curve ball when she says they have to create a dessert that looks like a savory dish from that country. Sally looked defeated the second Gail announced the real challenge along with all of the other chefs who could not think of anything to make. After playing around with some ideas and working frantically, everyone finally settled on a dish to make (even Sally who still didn’t know what she was making half way through).
In the end, Sally was the big winner. The judges loved her potato salad and only had one minor complaint about her Cuban sandwich. Unfortunately, Orlando went home. Just when he started to grow on me. Oh well! The judges did not like his mushy rice. Sally, Matt, and Chris are all moving on to the finale next week. Usually at this point in the game I have a favorite, but I really can’t decide between the final 3. Any predictions on who will win next week?
I watched Top Chef late last night and could not think of a quick and easy dessert that looks like an entree (give me a break the chefs got hours to make theirs). So instead take a look at this pepperoni pizza I found. I bet this one tastes just as good as it looks!
