Best Episode of Top Chef All-Stars

This might have been the best Top Chef All-Stars episode from the entire season. Episode 12, Give Me Your Huddled Masses, had the remaining five chefs creating Quick Fire dishes from a snack bar on-board a tour boat. Then for the main challenge, each chef prepared a dish representative of his family’s heritage. And every chef absolutely killed it. Carla, Antonia, Tiffany, Mike, and Richard cooked from their souls and gave the judges an impossible task of eliminating one more contender.

In the end, the judges simply couldn’t decide who to send packing. So instead of a Final Four, Top Chef has five finalists dueling for the All-Stars title.

Not only was the cooking great, but the reunion of chefs and their families was touching. But the best part of the show had to be the punking of Richard Blais. He got punk’d twice – once for his alright dish and secondly at Judges Table. Take a look…
