Top Chef Las Vegas Ep. 6

Original Air Date: September 23, 2009

1) Great Quickfire idea. Total lack of imagination by the cheftestants in interpreting it.
2) Ash obviously didn't learn anything from his failed sweet potato ice-cream in Ep. 3. Also, asparagus custard sounds pretty gross. (Ditto Robin's fennel flan.)
3) Michelle Bernstein's "¡Barcelona!" with over-the-top Spanish accent - loved it. Who's Toby Young to call other people pretentious?!
4) While I'm not a big fan of modernist cooking, it was fun to see Mike V.'s gleeful enthusiasm for the challenge. It was right up his alley...
5) ...While it totally flummoxed Jen. Her rock-solid technique saved her, though.
6) Ron, paella is not hard to deconstruct. It has, like, 15 ingredients in one pan! You know what's hard to deconstruct? Fish and chips. I mean, what do you do? Deconstruct the batter from the fish? Laurine definitely drew the hardest dish.
7) First the bacon jam, and now coffee and fig jam and pumpkin seed romesco. I want Kevin to start his own line of condiments.
