Top Chef Canada recap: all is fair in love and restaurant wars - what is a diet friendly dish at mazatlan restaurant

I want to be honest about the unwelcome words: I am afraid of the restaurant war.
I watch top Canadian chef every season and I'm waiting for it to come because I know it will make me anxious.
There's always some epic disaster, some massive confrontation that makes this middle
The children and the men held back.
Oh God, watch them all go through this stress.
Yes, there is no difference this season.
It all made me uncomfortable, and then some.
But, man, it's for some good TV.
Let's review it, shall we? Yes, that means there will be big "spoilers" ahead ".
Eight chefs left.
Only two women-
Karin Mullin of Calgary and Lauren Marshall of Nova Scotia left last week.
I predict that this means the end of the stupid "battle of the Sexes" stunt, and a good get rid of it, but I am sad to see a decrease in the number of female chefs.
We haven't seen a woman break the top three since the first season, and I don't think that speaks to the talent of a Canadian female chef.
There may be more space in the apartment, but fewer competitors, which also means less buffer space to offset a strong personality.
So when Calgary's Pierre lameller tries to entertain Toronto's Vittorio corassiti with a text game joke --
It took me at least a minute to figure out --
I bet Vittorio wants someone else in the kitchen to intervene.
Or explain the joke to him.
After the two were dressed, the whole team went to the kitchen to participate in the Quickfire featuring the Canadian lentils-
One of Canada's top crops.
The chefs had to make something that impressed the rather impressive guest judge, the Iron Chef's Masaharu Morimoto.
If the pressure is not big enough, then the challenge will receive a cash reward of $5,000.
This is not immunity because there is no more safety net in the future.
As usual, New Brunswick's Jesse Wigan responded best to the news that sunburn will taste their lentils dishes in the kitchen.
First of all, the news is about a chef.
Then, because of it's senben.
Everyone was nervous, but it was especially nice to see the elegant and confident René rodgez in a bit of a panic while cooking for his idol.
He has ambitious plans to make a dish that covers breakfast, lunch and dinner.
For 10 years he has been worshiping senben and just wanted to impress this rather gentle man
Friendly chef.
Vittorio is equally ambitious and plans to use as many lentils as possible to make a plate of grilled foie on red lentils mud and white whales and green lentils sauce.
Francis, a rich businessman from the United States, introduced a curry pie with lobster.
As a chef, he gained immunity through a quick shooting challenge, was eliminated twice and the Heat continued to rise.
Evelyn Takov of Kelowna thinks she's not showing the judge what she can do --
She's not, I agree.
And take out a lentils.
Fried fish playing on fish and chips.
But Jesse came up with a dish that was particularly unexpected: ice cream.
Come and help him. “This is epic!
Jesse said loudly.
In addition to the speed of senben speaking too fast, Jesse can't personally guide the chef's part.
It's not enough just to win him a cash prize, but when two people thank each other, it does give him some compliments and a lot of bows, which is sweet.
Normally, the judge is very serious when dealing with these quick fires.
It was great to see senben take on the challenge and encourage the chef to show sincerity, friendliness and enthusiasm in general.
He apologized for having to make criticism.
Contrary to what his Honour can expect.
Even if Rene asked the Iron Chef to sign his knife cover, he did it carefully and told Rene that he inscribed "you can have big dreams, you 'd better have
"Rene is humble for the first time on the show.
Alas, Rene's three dishes are not enough to impress people. The prize is foie of Vittorio, who says his foie shows a lot of skill and creativity.
He also won the position of captain of a team in the restaurant War and had the opportunity to name his opponent captain.
I might be afraid of a restaurant fight, but the chefs obviously don't think so.
"That's why chefs become top chefs," Terry said . " Everyone cheers for the challenge, the challenge divides them into two teams, creates a restaurant concept and presents one or threecourse menu.
Their work will be based on the two sisters restaurant, home country and Weslodge. The big friends will have another guest judge and a popular chef, Linford.
Oh, for the second product launch of this episode, one of the dishes must have cheese from a Canadian dairy farmer.
But they won a $20,000 prize for the winning team, so we can't complain about it.
Vittorio evaluated the game and chose Pierre to lead another team
Given that Pierre had admitted that he had little experience with the restaurant, it was a purely tactical move.
He doesn't know the ins and outs of acceleration, workflow, and how it feels to work in front of the house.
This puts Pierre in trouble: he can lead his team with his lack of experience, he can also have them help him extensively, and may have to explain to the judges that if they don't win the challenge, he can't lead him right.
On the one hand, I cannot blame Vittorio;
The decision is likely to be in his favor.
But again, it would be nice to see him choose a real competitor, someone he has to really prove his ability.
Pierre's choice feels a bit cheap.
Vittorio and his team.
Rene, Terry Salmon and Evelyn (
Or, as Pierre described, the concubine of Vittorio)—
Come up with a concept that offers dishes from southern France, naming their restaurant Au Sud.
He appointed his unofficial girlfriend to deal with it in front of the house and I'm pretty sure she didn't have an impression of it.
I don't think a romantic connection with the captain will give you any special treatment.
Pierre and his team.
Jesse, Shelley Robinson and rich
Also go to the French concept and name one of them-day-
There are only chairs in restaurant le, which means goose bumps in French.
Pierre decided to solve the problem in front of the House, trust the real restaurant chef and let the dishes open to the guests at the right time and time.
It's not an unwise decision, but as chef Mark McEwan later said, it's hard to lead a team in another room.
Not to mention that he has no front. of-
You can also experience the house.
Of course, getting Pierre ahead of the kitchen is not necessarily the best option unless he sits in the back seat of his more experienced teammates.
At this point in the show, I suspect that Vittorio may make a giggle while watching.
You can't say there's no strategic point in his decision.
At Au Sud, they provided a salad of blue cheese and sesame with Vittorio lemon sauce, which was praised for its good execution.
The judges, including Hanif Harji
Weslodge and the owner of the motherland, also like Liu Ruoying of tuna Tatar, redeem his idol in the eyes of her husband.
"I was very impressed," senben said of the dish . "
The judges were not impressed by the decision that Vittorio only offered the lamb two options: Medium-rare or well-done.
Lynn was particularly angry with the decision and said he shouldn't have told the guests how good they wanted it, let alone the media
Rare should not be an option.
"You will tell them how to eat it," she said after hearing the plan . ".
This is not a problem.
She wants to order medium. McEwan agrees.
When Evelyn came back with lamb, McEwan asked if they wanted their lamb to be cooked differently than it was offered.
It's not a problem, says Evelyn, and maceun asks, so why does he have a mediarare piece.
Evelyn's reaction is almost everything.
Lamb is not cooked enough and it is difficult to cut.
The meat pieces rotate on the judge's plate, like the records on the turntable, because they try to cut off some pieces.
Luckily, the Brancino fish from Terry and the stewed Thistle are perfect for summer vegetables.
For dessert, Evelyn made a chocolate cake with lavender cream and a lemon pie because it was too sour and the guests began to complain.
"Lemon curd is fierce," says McEwan, "and all Sen could do is point out that it hurts his chin.
The dry cake and the fresh cream cake did not get much praise.
With this, the judges will enter their second third
Dinner of the day.
The stuff on the Poule kitchen chair is not a good start.
When Pierre walked up to the front of the house, he asked rich for two main courses --
It could be a bad move because we didn't see him shining too much and also because he didn't like the idea of Pierre's oatssotto’ (a. k. a.
Delicious Oatmeal)
He thinks it's going to be bad.
He was not alone, though;
Shirley is not a fan of the dish.
Further superimposed with the team, Rich only purchased 40 pickerel for 80 diners.
We understand that, normally, you will predict 75 of your diners
So, 60, in this case
I can order a dish that you need to keep in mind.
This means that the waiter will be encouraged to promote Pierre's beef and oatmeal.
Pierre welcomed the judge to the restaurant and asked if they wanted to keep the menu and then asked if they wanted a pen so they could paint on the menu.
This is not a chain restaurant.
This is not the table for the children.
Lynn doesn't know how to deal with this.
It is clear that Pierre's "unique personality" is not translated.
One thing the team has to do is the power of the three in the kitchen.
Terry, Ricky and Jessie are hardcore chefs who know how to work.
"That's why we are chefs," Jesse said . ".
This seems to be the problem here.
Pierre is a trained chef but not a practicing chef.
Practice chef will know you can't lead the team from another room.
Again, he did not practice in front of the house, so he did not even tell the judge what they were going to eat when they were served.
"There is no explanation," Sen Ben asked . "
Shelley's scallop tart is very attractive, but it needs sour taste and has insufficient taste.
Jessie's poutine rapee is a little bit better because the judge says it has a hard skin and a paste inside.
"Sweet and wet," said host Lisa Ray . ".
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, things have officially changed.
Rich took Pierre's beef out of the oven and found it looking like a set of burnt milk.
There's nothing to say about sauce
Key ingredients for burginon beef-
But Pierre said they should still serve Ritchie despite the protests.
It doesn't look good, but at least Pierre told the judge what it was this time.
"I can't even watch you eat that," Lynn told Lisa . ".
"It looks like a prison meal," agreed McEwan . ".
Fortunately, for Rich, McEwan offers a picnic of fennel, potatoes and shrimp Basque in his own restaurant.
Jesse's floating island was also praised.
But for the judges, this is the only two highlights.
At least they still have food.
Rich decided to remove the beef from the menu.
I know he doesn't want to provide something that doesn't meet the standards, but his poor math means the numbers may not add up.
Customers who wanted to eat beef were told there was no beef left, so they ordered the fish.
Then it also disappeared, leaving some diners with no main course at all.
"It's like going to the movies and getting trailers and credits," one said . ".
This is the most painful thing in the history of the show.
If Rich keeps beef, at least diners can eat something, which I think is better than being told they don't get anything.
At the jury, Vittorio's team was first called in, and it was no surprise that they won the challenge along with the $20,000 bonus.
If you can keep up with math, that means Vittorio won $10,000 in this episode. Not bad.
When the lost goose bumps entered, Pierre told the judges straight away that they were a team led by an inexperienced chef.
But the judges criticized not only his lack of leadership, they also said Shelley's dish was tempting but not tasty, and in fact Rich did not properly cover up the number of people who wanted to try his dish, otherwise excellent.
Jesse's wet potato golf ball also hit on the coal.
"The first impression is very important," senben said . "
"He ruined it.
"Back in the storage room, Pierre called Vittorio and said he chose the easy way to pick the inexperienced chef as the captain.
Vittorio responded that he could have relied on his team to help him. It’s true.
Unfortunately, everyone on the team made a mistake.
But there is only one person who can pay the price, this time Pierre.
Obviously, Vitorio was not sad to see him leave.
I wonder if he came up with that joke.
Finally, this is the reaction of Jesse Wigan this week.
Sure, I have used it already, but it would be great not to check out twice.
