As for Patricia’s dish, it is considered “very tasty.” No more elaboration than that.
Kerry’s Pasta and Lorena’s Salmon with Invisible Rice
Kerry’s pasta is really creamy and tangy. And best of all, it’s a complete dish. As for Lorena’s salmon with a small side salad of arugula and celery, they think it’s just salmon. It could be the beginning of a great dish. In an interview, Lorena says if it was up to her she wouldn’t have served it. There was nothing to present. Although, she was only adding rice. And probably lots of cilantro. Maybe she was doing something else to the rice we didn’t know about, but it doesn’t seem like the rice was the MAIN component.
The Winning Team: Kerry and Lorena. @%$#&*! Seriously. SERIOUSLY. WTF. Calm down MisRed, calm down, it’s only the Quick Fire.
Apparently, nice guys finish last
Duh. Winning
They will split $5,000 for their charities: City Harvest and Alliance for Healthier Generation by eating Burrito Bowls.
Moving on to the Elimination Challenge: Create a 3 Course Packable Meal for “Diner en Blanc” Las Vegas. Let me break it down for you: Diner En Blanc” is a pop-up event, where diners show up at a designated location in groups of 250. They are then led to a central location for the event. They must wear dress elegantly, in white and they must bring everything they need for the dinner. Tables, chairs, linens, décor, their own food, etc. They are not allowed to use paper plates or plastic cutlery, they must dine from proper china and glassware with silverware. At 10:30pm they pack up and depart, the site is left immaculate without a trace of the party left behind. For the Top Chef version, all is the same, except the diners will not bring their own food, but will be served by the final four.
The Chefs are told, specifically, no sandwiches are allowed. All of the food is to be prepared the night before and packaged up into boxes. The Chefs will carry the food in paper bags to the event the next day. Each chef will feed 75 people. It is to be a high-end dining experience. They will have 4 hours to prepare their food. Prior they will have 30 minutes to shop at Whole Paycheck and a budget of $750.
Lorena is very happy to be working alone. In the car on the way to Whole Foods, Chris and Patricia bounce ideas off of each other.
We could poison her and then make her into a stew. with cilantro
I assume Patricia’s mole is driving. Patricia has an idea to follow Marco Polo’s route to China via the Silk Road. It’s a very cool idea, in my opinion, if she can get it all to blend together.

I swear all these shows are rigged.
Was sorry to see Patricia and her mole go. Sad horns.
Since Patricia is gone I am through all my support and energy to Chris. I know him to be a great chef.
wow should have checked my spelling going to throw all my support for the above
Team Chris!!!
I was Team Chris from the start, but by the second episode it was Team Chris/Patricia/Takashi, so I’m gutted that the Black Hole of Caracas has been responsible for two of them leaving. She’s even making me rethink my own love of cilantro because, gurr, find a new fresh herb. It’s not that great.
But I will defend Kerry’s seemingly dick move in the QF. They could have had better communication and he was kind of a jerk in running her around, but what failed her dish was the rice not the salmon and she admitted that she was very particular in the way she wanted the rice prepared. Why would you choose something you’re very particular about if you can’t control the situation? Yes, Kerry focused on perfecting his dish…and his dish won. Would they have won with her Marie Callendar’s salmon dish…with Cilantro? Doubtful, so they probably won specifically because Kerry said “Screw you and your rice, Lorena. I’m focusing on my shrimp and pasta.”
I was so pissed off that Lorena didn’t go home and I’m really hoping we’re not being set up for a Lorena win. I’m definitely rooting for Chris!
I predict Lorena will be the winner because during final commercial break the same Taco-Bell-Lorena-Ad ran in succession…no other chef really had a chance…why have I so needlessly wasted my precious time on this….OH I Know…Hot Host Curtis!
Well, I have to disagree with everyone here. I was glad to see Patricia go; what a snob she was. So what if Lorena cooks only Latin, that’s her specialty. Does that mean Patricia’s better than a top French chef, someone like Guy Savoy, because she has more “worldly experience”? Give me a break. Patricia seemed to enjoy demeaning Lorena, which besides it being mean, it may have been sexist as well.
Not that Lorena’s my favorit – Chris is. But that’s based on his skill. And he seems nice enough. Patricia needed to go home.
If Lorena wins then the show is definately rigged. She should never have won last week. This show has disappointed me.
@zerocool – I have to disagree with Patricia being a “snob” overall – was she a snob to Lorena? Yes, but I think Lorena is a “one trick Monkey” (to quote PR). HOWEVER, I think overall, Patricia has shown that she respects other chefs, even the ones with Jerk Moves (I’m looking at YOU – Kerry). I think we heard Patricia consistently praising other chefs (not just Taskashi and Chris and she even praised Lorena in the last episode).
Lorena, on the other hand, has consistently been derogatory about every other chef (with the exception, occasionally, of Art) and only has praise for herself. That to me is much more snobbish.
Of course, we KNOW the producers (even in a “Masters” show), ask the questions that they know will get the most drama. And, personally, the Taco Bell commercials aren’t helping Lorena in my eyes, either…
Not understanding the Lorena hate. I’m not a fan of that Oaf Kerry. Liked Patricia, but agree with ZeroCool that she came off as a snob toward the middle/end of the season. Too bad.
Also, I find the critic with the balding hair and glasses to be enormously irritating.
Loved your recap – I am with you – Team Chris! I respect his culinary viewpoint about the total use of an animal, his boyish love of food, his nerdy glasses and nice pecs!
I love terrines and pates, so it would be treat to have something like that at my picnic.
I am sorry to see Patricia go, but I understand the reason why. The story she had with the picnic was good, but the execution was flawed. But I will miss the big sister/little brother vibe with Chris.
Kerry and Lorena – meh… I am not invested in them enough to hate, but not feeling them for the title.
Hey, anyone looking forward to the tightly wound douchtastic “Life after Top Chef”?
I don’t know, Lorena had two crap dishes in the same show. Do you think Bravo bought Taco Bell? Sort of how Arsenio won Celebrity apprentice right before his show started? Suspicious!! Waving White Flags comment was HYSTERICAL!!! I also wouldn’t want to wear nice white clothes and carry chairs around. Guess I don’t get the concept, being American!
