Top Chef Las Vegas Ep. 10

Original Air Date: October 28, 2009


1) What is UP with Jen?! Youch - it must really sting to be in the bottom group with Robin and Mike I. I can't really figure out what her problem is. Last week, she was too ambitious; this week, not ambitious enough.
2) Why did Mike V. get so huffy about not winning? According to his own interview, the banana polenta was originally someone else's idea.
3) I have no doubt that Kevin's dish was delicious
However, it looked like a pile of turds.
4) Even though it was repeatedly referred to as a "vegetarian" challenge, I think the cheftestants were actually restricted to vegan cooking. Nobody made pasta (which usually requires eggs) or used any dairy. That can't have been voluntary. Recall an early Quickfire in Season 4 when the cheftestants had to make a dish with only five ingredients and several of them chose butter as one of their ingredients, even though olive oil was a "freebie."
