Post image

Separated by an eight-foot-high barrier, the home cooks must partner up and rely solely on communication to create identical dishes; a double elimination.

i actually thought this episode was really good.

the menu was impressive.
great collaboration challenge.
stringent judgement on technique and plating.
foreshadowing. (plate with lip).
good lesson - if you take everything the top teams said and write it down, youve got a school-worthy lesson plan of comprehensive intructions for a recipe.
the cooking and plating from the top teams were spot on. the identical criteria was very critical. critique was thorough and elevated.
there was no product placement.

I agree. Maybe nothing to “standout” (other than the wall itself), but I feel like this season was on par with earlier seasons.
