This may have been the best Top Chef episode yet. I had never heard of this bocuse d'Or competition, but it was an amazing test of culinary skill and all of the dishes looked absolutely mouth-watering. And yes, the favorites from this season--Michael & Bryan Voltaggio, Kevin, and Jennifer--made it to the final four.
Everything from Thomas Keller's presence, to the revelation that the finale will be in Napa Valley, to the camaraderie between the chefs--it all came together for a fascinating episode. While Tom's review made it clear there were flaws in each dish, I doubt some of the earlier eliminated contestants this season could have pulled it off.
So who will win? Kevin's my favorite, and he has been so thoughtful and consistent, as Tom's review also makes clear. But gosh, it is a close competition. I can hardly wait for the finale!
