The 12 finalists arrive in Los Angeles and settle in, but
they're all there to compete.
The 12 finalists arrive in Los Angeles and settle in, but
they're all there to compete. Early the next morning, it's time to
start cooking. The first thing up seems easy: they're given an egg
and 10 minutes - the rest is up to them. The challenge is to
determine their creativity in this deceptively simple exercise.
After the judges review their work, Michael Ruhlman discusses the
importance of mis en place, the core preparation and
planning stage for any chef. With a myriad of product to select
from and prepare, contestants are judged on their selection,
preparation technique and knowledge of food. One finalist is 86ed
(eliminated) from the competition and sent home.
