Two Chefs in a Pod April 6 |
|
Once again, Alton Brown’s
International House of Sabotageᵀᴹ hosts Cutthroat
Kitchen Mania, brother! And stepping into the squared
circle (as it were) for this week’s fatal four way steel
cage elimination are Terry, Tiffany, Lauren and Kate ,
who get their $25,000 in cold hard cash money for buying
torture for their opponents, and the winner keeps the
leftovers in their stash. Whatcha gonna do when these
chefs cook wild all over you? In the first challenge, the chefs are asked to make pea soup. Terry pays $9,100 to take away the other’s peas, giving a candy pea mix to Tiffany to go harvesting for the real stuff, eduname to Lauren and wasabi peas to Kate, but Kate buys taking away Terry’s basket and sharing Tiffany’s loot for $7,700. Mid-round, Tiffany makes Lauren and Kate share a two-headed apron (leading to the phrase “Two peas in a pod”) for $3,600. After the cooking, enter referee du jour Simon Majumdar. He tastes Tiffany’s finding it is too salty, has no flavor for Lauren’s soup, likes the rustic take on Kate’s and says that Terry needs salt on his soup. So who missed the mark? Quoth the late great Gorilla Monsoon, “Stick a fork in Lauren, he’s done!” Along with all $25,000 of his money. With the first round in the books, Tiffany has $21,400, Kate is hanging onto $17,300 in it and the piggy bank of Terry has $15,900. Round Two is a lamb chop dinner. (Insert the Shari Lewis jokes here.) Kate hands over $10,200 to give Tiffany overcooked rack of lamb, and Terry some mashed lambs, and Terry pays a modest $1,000 to allow Tiffany to pick and select a jar from three - jalapeno, mint and lime - and selects lime. In the middle of the round, Terry pays another $4,000 to sabotage Kate using a stovetop, a pot and a pan for the rest of the round. Click clack, Simon’s back. Tiffany has a problem with the overcooked lamb, enjoys Kate’s chops but the meat is not chewy and undercooked, and finds Terry’s deconstructed “lamb chop” is a lamb burger, but likes the flavor. Simon drops the judge’s elbow on Terry along with the $10,400. Entering the final challenge, Tiffany still hangs on to $21,400 and Kate is holding $7,100. And for the last fall, let’s make some chocolate mousse, without antlers. The divas title is on the line here this week as Tiffany pays $4,500 to make Kate use one giant whisk and a small bowl. Simon judges the mousses. Taking a taste of Kate’s Stone Cold mousse with coffee liquor and nuts, needing to be more solid, while Tiffany’s campfire mousse was grainy. The winner and this week’s NEW CUTTHROAT KITCHEN CHAMPION, TIFFANY! Kate brings back $7,100 while Tiffany takes out $16,900. More mayhem next week in the madness that is Cutthroat Kitchen.
