![]() “Cook rice any way” was the prompt for the Elimination Challenge, with the twist being “…for a hundred people.” We got it in the form of a rice challenge. BravoĪfter all those twists, it wasn’t just the Polish girl who needed something simpler. “Yeah, and she’ll have to do it wearing a white dress!” chimes in another, rubbing his greasy little palms together. “Heh heh heh, let’s make her eat little towers of food balanced on a crumbly cracker!” I imagine one of the producers pitching. “This too many twist for one Polish girl,” she added, which does sound like the opening for a joke about screwing in light bulbs.Īt the very least, it was a challenge that allowed for gratuitous Padma-shoving-things-into-her-mouth footage: Bravo “I don’t understand,” whispered Chef Sylwia, speaking for all of us. THEN they were told that those groups of three wouldn’t actually be “teams,” but rather the people they’d be cooking head to head against, while making amuses bouche using all three ingredients.

Lastra then told a story about how he had never cooked until he was 15, when he saw a recipe for a crab dip on the back of a Ritz crackers box, made it for his family, and it ended up being a big hit. Ta da! My toddler would’ve been thrilled. More importantly, the challenge was sponsored by Ritz Crackers, which Padma revealed by pulling a giant silver cloche off a box of Ritz crackers. Perhaps there’s a lesson here? Oink oink oink!Īnyway, in the vein of Top Chef‘s producers gettin’ that bag, this week’s Quickfire Challenge was introduced by Santiago Lastra, “the only Michelin star Mexican chef in the UK.” (An impressive achievement in the land of gwocky molo). And yet, I happily sat through the 54 minutes of this episode like a piggy cavorting in slop. I remember when Project Runway switched to 90-minute episodes, because that was the moment I stopped watching Project Runway. They say "Keep Portland weird" - we are certainly doing our part.This season’s episodes of Top Chef World All-Stars, including commercials, run 75 minutes (about 54 without ads), and I think we can all agree that that is much too long for a reality cooking competition.
