Previously on "Top Chef": Scallops. And also, an episode we only got to see half of because of a screwed up recording, and a complete lack of desire to seek out another airing to see the whole thing. Is it just us, or is this season really kind of...boring? Anyway, local girl Jamie's team did win the challenge, which means she was still here for last week's episode. And this is what happened on that...
Quickfire Challenge: Stephen Starr was the guest judge, and the challenge was to do a "tasting" as preparation for the big challenge, which was a Restaurant War. Each chef would have to prepare something that would convince Starr to invest in their restaurant idea. Jamie admitted she had no desire to win the challenge since whoever did would have to head one of the restaurants, and they inevitably get sent home if their restaurant loses...She made a Chilean sea bass with creamed corn, bacon, peas, and garlic scape, with an arugula and tomato salad. Starr liked it, but did not burden her with a win. She was picked to be on Radhika's team.
