Most of the chefs accept this twist to desert cooking with excitement, some not so much.
Can you guess which contestant complains the entire 30 minutes of this Quickfire?
Youre right, its Grayson.
So how did this Quickfire shake out (wait maybe I love puns now, too)?
Well, Padma and Chef Andres had some notes.
However, the winner of this Quickfire Challenge isWesley.
Wes needed a win after last weekssous-videsnafu, so this comes at a perfect, self-esteem boosting time.
He is Messy Wesley no more!
What cant Hot Dad Jeremy do?
But Jason thinks he and Marjorie have the more compelling of the two shrimp dishes.
He may be right.
The second round of judges are big fans of the pork loin.
Their opponents on the Orange Team split the judges as well.
The Blais, though, thinks the meat is cooked really well and it tastes better than it looks.
Not too shabby for a chef who didnt want to tackle dessert.
Have people been keeping this delicious game a secret from me all this time?
), the judges are impressed by the amount of solid dishes the chefs were able to serve up.
Both teams had several contenders for best dish, and the duds of the group were fairly obvious.
Padma, Tom, the Blais, and John Besh (fare thee well, sweet Jose!)
head over to the Judges Table to make their final decisions.
SinceJeremywas responsible for the tasty fish and the ice bowl, he takes the win.
He also has a problem with the shrimp, which was overcooked, over-marinated, and too rubbery.
In the end, its the corn, andGraysonis told to pack her knives and go.
She takes it about as well as one would expect, which is not well.
If nothing else, it would make for a dramatic return, no?
