Master Chef 3

<< < (5/5)

TexasLady:
I was not surprised that Becky was eliminated, her food wasn't as good as Josh's or Christine's in either challenge. I wonder if Christine can win the whole thing. (I am pulling for Josh though.) :)

apskip:
I expect that Christine will win over Joshua. The publicity value to Ramsay, Elliott and Bastianich is just too high to pass up. I feel that Christine as the ultimate victor has been preordained since the beginning of Master Chef 3.

Polaroid:
So happy that Christine won Masterchef! :wohoo: Josh's plating was really stunning though. If it weren't for the undercooked lobster, I think he would have won.

MC3, Ep. 20, Finale

It was Joshua versus Christine for the $250,000 prize, cookbook deal and title of Master Chef. Chirstine is legally blind, which I take to mean that she actually has enough sight to make sure she handles kitchen apparati safely. Before this competition starts, the eliminated competitors took the balcony space. Then the families of Joshua and Christine come to visit and take the balcony. It’s now cooking time in a duel lasting 2 hours.

The menus are:
Joshua – butter filled lobster with grits and sweet potato puree
                Rack of lamb with green curry spice
                Bacon-crusted pecan pie with ? ice cream

Christine – Thai Papaya salad with a touch of crab
                   Braised pork belly over rice, quail egg on top, fried mushrooms
                   Coconut lime sorbet with ginger tuille

During the solemn tasting by the judges, the comments were:
 Joshua took more risks in his menu while Christine stuck to her Asian culinary roots
 Joshua’s lobster was undercooked because he had stopped cooking process by
  plunging it into icewater too soon       
 Disagreement on whether Christine crab amount was sufficient or not
 Rack of lamb and green curry sauce just right
 Braised pork belly showed ability to turn low-value meat into a high-value entrée and was delicious.
 Use of bacon in pie crust questionable; ice cream unbelievable
 Lime part of the sorbet did not come through; not enough acidic taste

The judges stayed in the tasting room to deliberate while the finalists went back to the kitchen to wait. The judges returned with the verdict, Christine as the winner. Congratulations to her and to Joshua. They both cooked their hearts out.

pledge:
While liking both of them, I am really happy Christine won.  I was hoping all along
that she would win!!!
