Welcome to Top Chef, Not Top Scallop, the world’s greatest Top Chef recap blog. This is a recap of Portland’s last two episodes of Last Chance Kitchen. Read my recap of last week’s LCK here and the latest Top Chef episode here. You can watch the latest LCK
I loved Sara (aside from her mean-spirited dig at Chris) but it was fascinating to see her lose this one. Byron's great, and seemed to be occasionally a fantastic chef, but I'm not sure how anyone can go from TC loss, to LCK win, to having to win TWO MORE TIMES to get back in. That's stamina I'm not sure anyone has. Maybe Jamie. Jamie and her finger guns.
I thought this was a pretty uphill battle for Byron, hard to see anyone making it through this gantlet (Kevin did something similar on All Stars thought, I think, and made it through). I thought Byron did an excellent job on his Bento Box. I didn't like Jamie's celebration, I thought it was excessive (I'm throwing a penalty flag) seeing everything Byron went through.
