Daniel Boulud on Tonight’s Top Chef

The stakes in Vegas are truly high this week with an intense Quickfire challenge — famed French chef and restaurateur (and “one of the baddest mothaf*%^&rs there is” according to Eli) Daniel Boulud guest judges this round where the chef’testants must make a winning dish using a very challenging protein: the snail. And the chefs are shocked to hear that while the winner of the Quickfire gets immunity, the loser automatically goes home! Those that make it to the elimination round then have the honor (and pressure) of cooking for another renowned French chef: Joel Robuchon – in his very own restaurant. With now two French culinary experts at the judges’ table, will the chef’testants be able live up to some high expectations?

On this week’s new episode of Top Chef, things continue to get tense in Sin City. During the Quickfire Challenge, Ashley and Preeti butt heads when Preeti mistakenly takes Ashley’s pot of boiling water, causing Ashley to flip out. Will Ashley get her dish done in time?

Later during the elimination challenge, the chefs have to make-do with a tight kitchen when they get to cook for a bunch of US Troops. And when Jen is appointed executive chef for her group, she becomes a “drill sergeant” of the kitchen, putting up with no BS. Will her no-frills attitude hurt or help her?
