Top Chef Recap: Duck, Duck, Goosed


This week’s chop comes as a surprise and a sharp reminder that all it takes to go home is one off-kilter week.

As the Top Chef nerd I am, I’d hoped the trivia would be about the show’s own deep cuts (“Who was the first winner of Restaurant Wars?” “Which contestant served the most crudos?” “How many Quickfires has Bryan Voltaggio won?,” etc.). “Are you ready to indulge your sweet tooth?” Kristen asks, receiving an understandably tepid response from a cast of chefs still emotionally scarred from the horror of making too many desserts for last week’s ice-hockey challenge. Tom tells Zubair that it’s immediately time for him to enter the ring against reigning champ Bailey — and whichever one wins will return to Top Chef proper next week.
