Top Chef Contestants Catch and Cook Conch

Quickfire Challenge

Back in the sunny Bahamas, we have Mike, Richard, Antonia and Tiffany left – boy vs. girl. Padma and Lorena Garcia from America’s Next Great Restaurant greet the cheftestants. Padma says this quickfire challenge is about consistency and precision. A great chef can make a great dish the same way a thousand times over.

Divided into pairs each team must make 100 identical dishes in one hour. The winning team takes home $5000.

It’s boys vs. girls.

The cheftestants get to the island and they have to pick from boxes of ingredients. Along with the ingredients are snorkel gear. That means they have to dive for their own conch, since conch has to be served in the dishes.

After they catch the conch, they have to cook on the island by fire.

Then the cheftestants are murdering these poor conchs. It’s just brutal – hammering the shells, shattering the shells, boiling the conch out of the shells.

Judges Table

Tom says what was really impressive what that there was not one grain of sand in any of the dishes.

The winner of the challenge is Mike. Padma asks Tiffany to pack her knives and go.
