S1 - E5Miniaturize Me
The final team of four chefs face a food group they typically avoid for this week’s Quickfire: they have to re-create a junkfood classic (Season One, Top Chef). Michael Chiarello (Bottega Restaurant), Rick Moonen (RM Seafood at Mandalay Bay), Nils Noren (French Culinary Institute) and Lachlan McKinnon Patterson (Frasca Food & Wine) are then put on the spot as they are pushed to make the perfect three-course mini-meal. Flipping Out’s Jeff Lewis and Jenni Pulos guest star, and one chef moves on to the Champions Round.
