TITLE: Top Chef All Stars - Advantage Chef
SUMMARY: At the flinch of tonight's show there were 14 chefs enduring. By the time we were downcast to 13, there were debauched feelings, a little blood dripped and some inventive cooking on presentation. There was also a remarkable new struggle that seemed bewildering, but was essentially kind of entertaining.
The quick fire contest was a decent one. Tony Mantuano, who'd performed in 'Top Chef Masters,' was the magistrate. Each contestant had to make padding, but they were not permitted to use any knives or kitchen tools. The guidance from Padma was "Be imaginative."
REVIEW: This is a very competitive episode. I mean you will get lots of tips on how to cook because the chefs out there are very busy trying to cut something without a knife.
