Cesar: "Growing up, my dad would take us camping, and it was crazy the way we went. We would take nothing. We would just take a pot and mirepoix. And the idea is, like, whatever you catch, you're gonna make a stew out of. And if we didn't catch anything, we're eating mirepoix soup."

Quickfire Wins and Losses for this TopChef ™ Contestant
Top Chef ™ is an American reality competition television series which has run since March 2006. The show features professional chefs competing against each other in culinary challenges.
The Top Chef ™ chef-contestants are judged by a counsel of exemplary, world-renowned professional chefs and famous names from the food and wine industry.
The contestants are superb, professional chefs with a huge array of global food skills.
The show is progressive, eliminating one or two chefs each week. Each episode follows a consistent theme with (usually) a Quickfire challenge (short and fun) followed by a more difficult "Elimination Challenge" that is much more intense. The Top Chef ™ Judges Table is where the winners and losers are determined each week.
