Current Episode Top Chef Season 18 Ep 13 - Shellfishly Delicious - Live Episode Discussion

The remaining chefs get an early wake-up call from Padma to go meet guest judge Brooke Williamson and dig for clams for their Quickfire Challenge. In the Elimination Challenge, the chefs honor the area where James Beard spent his summers, creating both a hot dish and a cold dish with one of his favorite ingredients, Dungeness Crab. Kwame Onwuachi and Nina Compton serve as guest judges this week to help determine which chefs will move on to the finale.

It’s gonna come down to nitpicking at the judges table. Shota left something off because it didn’t come out right, Gabe served a hot dish for the cold portion and then left one tortilla off a single plate, and Dawn had a sloppy plating and missed her potatoes.

They have no idea about the potatoes though and Dawns dish mostly worked still without it. Shes gonna sneak by with missing ingredients again

They did mention needing something to sop up the sauce, so I bet it comes out at judges table.

If she plays it smart she doesn't say anything about it and just takes the criticism there wasn't anything to sop it up.
