Better late than never … We had to wait for the 6th episode for the candidates for this 16th season to cook in brigade. Not too early! A little late, even, Philippine, last survivor of the reds ofHélène Darrozeis alone at his work plan. What a shame! As if this part of the show where we get to know them too in a group had been sacrificed on the altar of the Michelin partner, his inspectors having so far taking up a lot of place …
So here is the ” Top chef »Whether you love with candidates working together, complementary or conflicting, brigade chiefs who need and reframe. A sixth evening that also pleases, with the test of “who can beat?” »Entrusted to Yoann Contegood customer for the exercise that we see arriving, knife on the belt like a musketeer.
It’s up to them to enhance a food that children hate. Children who must be convinced first to hope to be tasted by Gilles Goujon, best worker in France (MOF) and three stars. Without the downstream of the marmots, no Gilles Goujon. What happens to Esteban and Charlie. For them, it will be pork liver. They imagine it as a foam lollipop with black garlic, redcurrant and buckwheat. Not convinced, Paul Pairet warns them. They get cafuil …
“If you miss it, I stop top chef!” »»
Their leader ends up getting upset. “It’s a carnage, it’s panic (…) You say ok to get rid of me, for the moment you’re in shit!” ». In fact, children block their dish. They let others pass, even if one spit out the Roquefort millefeuille and pear by Quentin and Grégoire. But their kibble sauce is a killing, it goes.
“Don’t put tons, if you miss it, I stop top chef!” », Lance Etchebest in Charles and Claudio who add to their carrot and salicorn oyster tempura, a granite and a lollipop. Who disappoints children who imagined a dessert. “I thought it was going to be very good, we got a little bit,” whistles a little girl.
“I find it rough, sloppy, not even bistro”
Philippine picked up the Brussels cabbage that she married with a Cream Clea, bacon and leaves of leaves. A little bitterness but a nice balance for the star … “wait”, “not necessarily”. With each proposal of Margaux to improve the training of their kibble, Sean cut short. “I find it rough, sloppy, not even bistro,” she worries. And wants to add herbs. “No, it pisses me off!” “, Smill Sean. Ouch.
“A slightly coarse dressage” noted by Toujon who dodeline of the head in front of the Blues’ proposal. “The lollipop is questionable,” he thinks. Sometimes too much is the enemy of good, the main room is absolutely incredible ”. And Yoann Conte? He grabbed the snails he imagines in Carbonara in a timbal of spaghetti, a MOF technique.
Twins taste. “It’s very good” launches the first, the second makes a pout of disgust … it nevertheless passes. “What a job! In turn greets a stud. Oh damn it’s good! ». If he finds the stuffing a little thick and the spaghetti a little cooked, he places, blind, the 2 stars in mind. Just behind, Charles and Claudio can blame themselves. Without their lollipop, they prevailed. Etchebest had warned them …
No one was able to beat tale, all spin in the second test in tribute to Michel Guérard who died last summer. In memory of the 3 stars for 48 years and cantor of the slimming kitchen, they will have to do without butter, oil or cream. To decide between them: four chefs for eleven stars, all spent with Michel Guérard: Gérald Passedat, Christopher Coutanceau, Arnaud Lallement and Sébastien Bras.
Many opt for salmon and its natural fat. Claudio and Charles cook him in his skin and present it with a butternut rosette and Buddha hand. Philippine imagines an aioli salmon with a kind of mayonnaise made from vegetable broth jelly. It will be butternut poached at the seaweed and mussels for Charlie and Esteban. “The goal is that Paul Pairet gives us a hug …” After spanking, they want to catch up.
“Mr. Guérard would be very proud, he is a dish he would have liked”
Margaux has the good idea of a hazelnut butter, cashews and fennel seeds. Only, the first test left traces, they do not speak to each other with Sean. “It’s inedible, go a drop!” The one is throwing him. You have to recover friends! By dint of working on your side, you will miss the test. ” Bold, Quentin and Grégoire found their salmon in the sauce served in a dug celery. But it is believed. It gets stuck.
“What do we do after that after?” », Asks immediately. “We throw it after when we could have worked it, we can no longer afford that,” says Coutanceau. The violets pass smoothly and the oranges bluff the star jury and win the test. “Mr. Guérard would be very proud, he is a dish he would have liked,” breathes Coutanceau. … Follow the Blues, and Philippine.
In eliminatory, around the duck breast, Quentin shines with his radical raw bake, ex-aequo with Charlie who smokes his duck in rosette on the barbecue. “I am a sous-chef of a three-star, I have not shown nothing in Top Chef”, plague Grégoire by preparing its red fruit association. Conventional. With its bouillon full -bodied with porcini mushrooms, Esteban takes its duck in the woods. Blind, the chiefs follow him. Grégoire is not qualified.
