There are only five chefs remaining to fight for the BravoTopChef crown after last week’s tough kaiseki challenge. Or are there?
Kevin’s plate looks great and matches his cooking style: technically sound and rustic at the same time. His duck breast looks perfectly cooked next to a round rice croquette that’s been deep fried until golden brown.
Mark loves Kevin’s dish and Jonathan appreciates that he added his own spin to a classic.Dish: Duo of sweetbreads with hollandaise & champagne gastrique, veal loin with truffle butternut squash, mushrooms & warm leek potato salad Things seem to be going well for Brian until he gets to the judges’ table and realizes they’re short about 4 portions of his dish. Uh oh. Apparently the servers ran some of his dishes to the wrong table. It’s not his fault so the judges continue on. His plate looks really busy with a lot of colors. Michael agrees, saying Brian took a dish of four ingredients and made it 45. Gail says the cook on the veal and the sweetbreads was perfect.Dish: Grilled quail with lime & hot plum glaze & ninja radishes Melissa’s dish looks stellar as she puts it in front of the judges: a big piece of charred quail topped with lots of fresh herbs, pinkish radishes, and greens. Brian loves it saying it really highlights the bird itself. Hunter says the glaze is not too sticky and not too sweet.Tom seems happy with the cheftestants’ overall performance saying they did a good job. “It was really a beautiful meal,” Jonathan says before announcing his pick for winner. It’s Melissa! Her grilled quail has landed her a spot in Italy for the finale. Jonathan also gives Stephanie a shoutout for channeling the inspiration from his dish into her own version. She’s also going to Italy! Bryan V. and Kevin also get the green light when Padma tells them they’re going to Italy too. That means Brian M. and Gregory are on the bottom. Tom feels like Greg’s monkfish got lost in the flavors of his beet risotto and pickles. Gail thinks the fact that he missed the prosciutto in the dish is a big indication that he didn’t get the dish fully. “In the original dish... it sealed in moisture and added flavor and I think those things would have helped you today,” she says. Brian M. starts his talk with the judges by saying his cooking today went awry but he’s “got a lot of good things in his life” and he’s “cooked.” Padma asks if he’s quitting and Gregory interjects saying he should “let them judge” and he’s okay if it’s his last day on. Brian lets the judges continue their critique but says “no one ate it right” and that all of the flavors together were a “disaster.” The judges look incredulous that he said that since it’s his job as a chef to make sure that doesn't happen. So who goes home? It’s ultimately Malarkey, who let his head get the best of him this challenge. He seems fine with it and happy to be heading home to his family.Melissa King takes home another win, while Brian Malarkey is asked to pack his knives and go.And we have our finale line up! Bryan, Kevin, Melissa, Stephanie, and Gregory are headed to Italy to compete for the title of
