After the Quickfire Challenge winner is picked, the contestants are whisked back to their digs at the Fontainebleau Resort in Miami. The next morning, the chefs face off in the Elimination Challenge, a protein-heavy buffet of unusual ingredients in which they are to create their best version of Surf 'n Turf.

She was hungry, and the chefs had to make her breakfast using their Breville blenders. While there didn't really seem to be a bad dish in the bunch, Hung's steak and eggs and Grand Marnier shake was victorious. Padma then informed the chefs that they would be going on a trip. But what she didn't tell them was that the real challenge would occur on the plane itself parked at Newark Liberty International Airport. The chefs worked with the culinary crew at Continental Airlines to create dishes that could be served to their Business Class members, and would be tested by their own elite flight attendants. While Casey's dish inspired guest judge Anthony Bourdain's palate and earned her her second win in a row, CJ's never made it off the runway.Season 3, Episode 14: Manhattan Project (Original Air Date: 19 September 2007 ) The remaining five chefs finally land in New York City. After taking in the sights and some street meat, they're off to their Quickfire at the famous Le Cirque, where they are greeted by renowned owner Sirio Maccioni. The chefs are treated to a special halibut dish, which they then have to re-create. Hung's dish is deemed closest to the original, while Sara is unable to complete the task -- the first of many problems. The chefs then head to Lee Anne's second home, The French Culinary Institute. There, Padma tells them that they will have to make a dish using chicken, potatoes, and onions for the culinary legends and professors of the FCI. Hung's chicken skin chip finally gets him a win and a trip to the finale in Aspen, as do Casey's, Dale's, and Brian's dishes. All Sara's poorly-executed Jamaican-inspired dish gets her is a one-way trip home.Season 3, Episode 15: Finale: Part 1 (Original Air Date: 26 September 2007 ) The four remaining chefs head to Aspen, Colorado for the semifinal and the decision of who the final two will be.Season 3, Episode 16: Finale: Part 2 (Original Air Date: 2 October 2007 ) Season 4, Episode 1: Anything You Can Cook I Can Cook Better (Original Air Date: 12 March 2008 ) Quick fire challenge: Contestants must make their own twist on deep-dish pizza.

A poor excuse for a competition , 17 June 2007 I still remember the first season of this show, and how Dave was knocked out. The was a final surprise knock-out competition in which the contestants had prepare food for three different groups of people, those groups would then decide which was their favorite and the contestants who had the most votes would stay in. Harold won two, Dave won one, and Tiffany won NONE! Yet, who was knocked out...DAVE! It was an insult to the viewers. The "judges" were always harping about how much the opinion of the customers mattered. I have since boycotted Top Chef and Bravo TV Network. I was outraged to hear that a second season of the show was produced and that the same egotistical "authorities" (Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons) have returned. They are a disgrace, and in no means should be considered equitable judges.
