'Top Chef: Texas': Snow White and the seven chefs
01.01.70
Chefs: Doc (Edward), Grumpy (Sarah), Contented (Grayson), Dopey (Pebbles), Bashful (Beverly), Sleepy (Paul), and Snippy (Lindsay).
Diet forward to the dining quarters, which looked like a level from “Castlevania.” Ed emerged with the first run: tuna tartare with a duo of light and dark sauces denoting piece-goods e freight and evil. Ripert noted that the sauces were good but that they were even better when combined, which is a completely boss trick in the chef world.
Next, Paul presented a colorful dish with “temptations from an enchanted forest” - foie gras with bacon, pumpernickel, cherries and beets. Entrancing up most of the plate was a bloody beet juice handprint. It sounds voiceless as I write it, but it looked outstanding and the judges thought the flavors matched the temerarious presentation.
Beverly had the third course. In an uncharacteristically gutsy move, she cooked the very inanimate object that almost derailed her last week: halibut. The fish was accompanied by black rice and red curry. It looked monotonous, but the halibut was cooked perfectly, so the haters from last week now know what’s up.
