Top Chef Just Desserts: Week 9

Jillian: Hey Sara, welcome to week 9! This week we are moving from the Final Four of Orlando, Chris, Sally and Matt down to the Final Three. I was glad to see that they didn’t have a quickfire challenge this week and rather moved straight into the elimination challenge, where the cheftestants were charged with making their dessert resemble a savory dish. I much preferred this challenge to the inverse of it from a few weeks ago where they had to make a savory dish look like a dessert! What did you think of the challenge?

Sara: I liked the challenge, and I liked that the meal they made depending on a country they chose. It was fun to see what they came up with to hide their sweet desserts into a savory package. I liked the look of Sally’s the best and was glad she won. I thought her cuban sammy, with a side of potato salad was spot on!

Jillian: I completely agree! Sally’s by far looked the most realistic and not too cartooney. What did you think of the elimination of Orlando? I was glad that he took it nicely and didn’t slam the judges and other contestants. I do think he has come a long way as a person since the start of the show, but you know I was glad to see him go.

Sara: I was a little sad to see him go. I agree he came a long way since the start of the season, and I felt like he was in a better place then Chris. I was not thrilled with his Beef Wellington. I am hoping that either Sally or Matt win the whole thing. The last challenge should be crazy.

Jillian: Yea Chris’s Beef Wellington was first, not from the right country, and second was the most fake looking of them all. I am pulling for Matt to win at this point but I think it will be Sally, she seems to keep her cool better and pay attention to the little details. I can’t wait to see the outcome, make sure to check out the Finale Wednesday at 10:00!
