As Chef Tom said, "It was a winning dish," but she didn't really do anything with it.
She cooked some store-bought chicken sausage,
cooked
undercooked some lentils and served it with a chunk of watermelon.
Any 10 year old could have done that... well, except for cutting the watermelon in such a pretty shape... but, lucky for her it wasn't the worst dish.
It certainly wasn't up to the standard the judges expected, but she didn't get a Yuk either... even with the undercooked beans.
Sara M didn't have to pack her knives either.
She remade Chicken ala King... or maybe she didn't remake it... and served a chicken dish... chicken kabobs is the best way to describe it... it wasn't even remotely reminiscent of anything I knew as ala King.
She was lucky not to go home, since she didn't really follow the rules.
Playing within the rules but not to the judges liking was last week's winner, and the winner of last night's Quickfire challenge, Brian.
Because of it he was also brought in to the judges table with the bottom four.
Chef Colichio just wanted to chastise him for not playing by the rules even though he was immune from elimination.
He used high cholesterol shrimp and lobster in what was supposed to be a low cholesterol challenge.
It didn't matter, they scolded him and sent him back to the stew room.
However he was warned that he needed to do some meat at some point.
He's been clinging to the seafood he knows up to now, we'll see what else he can do.
