'Top Chef': Down and Dirty

....come on. Richard should have been sent home crying. Trying to eat salmon scales (no matter how cooked) is plain gross. While seasoning is consistently called "cooking 101", I would much rather have to wrestle with bland food than picking something hard and unedible out of my mouth and figuring out where to put it so as not to offend the rest of my meal (once, not numerous times as noted). Richard's tricks are always looked upon with awe, as was Marcel and Hung's; however, they had the culinary tricks to back up the fluff. "Richard..... pack up your scales and go!!!"

@unarata - Honestly, I was rooting for Marcel and his ridiculous Wolverine-inspired haircut. He may have been an arrogant jerk, but at least he was honest and upfront about it.

Sous vide salmon + scales = Fish flavored babyfood with toenails mixed in. Eeeeeewwwwww. At least Zoi's dish would have been edible if there had been a salt shaker on the table. Between those two, imo, Richard should have gone home.

All that having been said, Spike needs to go home. He's just a nasty piece of work.

Dale was critical of the bacon, but my recollection is that he cut up a bunch of peppers and tossed them with a little acid. Was that really that much harder?

I was also surprised that the air team (aka Team "Ducks Fly") didn't do a foam. Of all the times when a foam is appropriate, this was it.
