Top Chef 10
apskip:
As I stated earlier, based on prior season performance, Stefan was #2 on TC5 and CJ was #6 on TC4. They should go a long way in TC10. However, Josie was #11 on TC2, finishing ahead of only 4 chefs that season. She will need to have improved a great deal to be competitive in TC10. It's possible but unlikely.
If all 3 finalist slots are taken by these 3 chefs, the legitimate TC10 chefs will be very upset. I don't see that happening.

TC10, Ep. 5
The Quickfire Guest Judge was Daisley Gordon, who has 2 restaurants at Pike Place Market. The challenge was to create in 1 hour a dish-on-a stick that 50 Market vendors could sample using ingredients provided by Daisley and equipment from Sur La Table. Teams of 2 were self-selected, but there were several difficult pairings. Here is what these teams created:
John/Josh Chilaquiles: Tortilla, Salsa, Quail Egg, Avocado-Heirloom Tomato Relish
CJ/Tyler Salmon & Cream Cheese Crepe with Avocado, Arugula & Tarragon
Stefan/Brooke Croque Monsieur: Pressed Ham & Cheese Sandwich with Toasted Fig
Josie/Eliza Ricotta, Raspberry & Sausage Pancake with Jalapeno Maple Syrup
Danyele/Lizzie - Summer Berries with Crispy Pancetta
Sheldon/Bart - Green Forest Breakfast Sandwich: Eggs, Cheese, Pancetta, Bacon & Spinach
Micah/Kristen Bacon & Cinnamon Waffle, Pecan Maple Syrup, Boysenberry & Strawberry Jam
The results were that Danyele/Lizzie and Josie/Eliza and were the lowest rated teams. The top rated teams were Sheldon/Bart and Josh/John, with Sheldon/Bart the winner of immunity.
The Elimination Challenge went inside, presumably to done of Gordons restaurants to take unusual ingredients and create something tasty and interesting. These were the ingredients:
John/Josh Truffle Popcorn
CJ/Tyler Spicy Sliced Dill Pickle
Stefan/Brooke Rose Petal Jelly
Josie/Eliza Cardamom Bitters
Danyele/Lizzie Coconut Curry Chocolate
Sheldon/Bart Candied Salmon
Micah/Kristen Cheese Curds
The dishes created in 2 hours on a staggered basis were:
John/Josh Pan-seared Pork Tenderloin with Truffle Popcorn Grits
CJ/Tyler Pork Crumpet Burger with Spicy Dill Pickles
Stefan/Brooke - Rose Petal Glazed Muscovy Duck with Braised Cabbage
Josie/Eliza Curry Cardamom Broth, Manila Clams & Seared White King Salmon
Danyele/Lizzie Coconut Curry Chocolate Mousse Tart
Sheldon/Bart Candied Salmon with Sweet & Sour Salad
Micah/Kristen Cheese Curds Three Ways: Bechamel, Raw & Fried
The judges took input from all the vendors who provided the unusual ingredients and then retired to deliberate. Their decision was hat no team earned the win and its $10,000 prize as all had done poorly. The 3 worst teams were Stefan/Brooke, CJ/Tyler and Josh/John. All had huge faults, but one team had to be eliminated. CJ/Tyler had to pack their knives.
That means that out of 14 chefs this week, 2 of the 3 holdovers from past seasons were in jeopardy and one is now out of the regular competition.
Last chance Kitchen, Ep. 2
These were the dishes created:
Kuniko Fruit Compote, Lemon Curd and Frozen Banana
CJ and Tyler Hay Ice Cream (very innovative), Cherry Fritter, Cherries, Arugula (huh?)
It was a close decision, but CJ and Tyler won and continue in the competition. Kuniko is out.

Unfortunately, CJ is not completely gone. He and Tyler did survive the Last Chance Kitchen. There are probably 9 more of those and a chef has to win all of them, a daunting task, to make it back into the regular competition for the finale.
I would say that the chef getting the last laugh is Stefan, who survived a grueling Judges Table. Josie was not at risk.
