Elimination Challenge

Elimination Challenge

For the third week of Top Chef ™ World All Stars, the chefs were taken on a pub crawl around central London to sample beers and classic pub food, which included fish and chips, fisherman's pie, and Sunday roast at the Lamb & Flag; shepherd's pie, steak and ale pie, and toad in the hole at the Jack Horner; and bangers and mash and Scotch eggs at Trafalgar Tavern.


They were then divided into teams of two. Each pair was responsible for reinterpreting and/or modernizing one of the aforementioned pub dishes, which were served to the judges and 40 other pub-goers at Trafalgar Tavern. Both members of the losing team were eliminated. The guest judges were chef/owners Brett Graham and James Cochran.

Culinary Learnings from this Top Chef ™ challenge
Three Tips for Yorkshire Pudding
Three Tips for Yorkshire Pudding

Chef Nicole made the Classic British Yorkshire Pudding as part of elevating the "Sunday Roast". 


There are many great recipes for Yorkshire Pudding Batter but here are three essential tips:


1) Always let the batter rest, undisturbed, for at least 15 minutes before cooking. 

2) It is critical to pour the batter into red hot tins holding red hot oil. The batter must sizzle when you pour.

3) You must NEVER open the oven door to check your Yorkshire Puddings. Let them cook in the full heat.

Shrimp Farce
Shrimp Farce

In Top Chef ™ World All Stars, when elevating the traditional British Fish pie, Chef Buddha took cod and wrapped it in a 'shrimp farce'. A 'farce' is a mousse made from meat or fish trimmings, blended with cream, eggs and seasoning. It is a beautiful way to add color or flavor to another dish, and Chef Buddha uses it to bond vegetables (in this case, cucumber) to fish by using a protein farce as the 'glue'.
