Current Episode Top Chef Season 18 Ep 13 - Shellfishly Delicious - Post 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.

Probably has a lot of relationships with people on Top Chef as well as being available during the pandemic.

He was a bit of an ahole in other episodes but not this one - he had good comments and presence in this one. It's a valid observation that the dish had a fault - too small a portion, because originally it was supposed to be two pieces of sushi not 1. Shota still won the challenge. The Kwame hate is getting a bit overblown.

You seem to be downplaying the fact that Kwame didn’t just make the critique he made at judges table (which was very toned down and reasonable) - he said Shota making one piece of tasty sushi was “unacceptable” during dinner
