On this week's "Top Chef" episode, "The First Thanksgiving," the chefs are back in their pad and drinking to the eliminated chef, Aaron. They're all happy he's gone because they hated his personality. Adam's happy he beat Doug because he thinks Doug's one of the more dominant chefs. Melissa reads a note her girlfriend gave her before she came on the show. When this happens on the show, it usually means Melissa is either going to win this week or go home. Past "Top Chef" Season 1 contestant Tiffani Faison surprises the chefs in their abode and takes them on a road trip to a bog of cranberries. This, of course, is a product placement for Ocean Spray. The first four chefs to fill their crate with cranberries will get an advantage in the quickfire challenge. Katie, Adam, Gregory and Doug win. Back at the kitchen, Padma's with Tiffani and they tell the chefs their challenge is to create a dish highlighting cranberries. The four who won get to use the high-end pantry, while the others have to use low-quality ingredients. When the challenge starts, we already see some head-scratchers. Katie is making cranberry borscht, which sounds disgusting. Coming from a Russian family, I know that beets should be used for borscht, so I can't even imagine it with cranberries. Katsuji is using a tough skirt steak to make a tartar, which doesn't sound like it will be successful. Katsuji, Adam and Stacy are in the bottom, while Doug, Katie and Mei were the best. The winner of immunity is ... Katie! I'm shocked and now I want to try that borscht. For the elimination challenge, the chefs will head to Plymouth Rock, where they will have to cook a Thanksgiving dinner using only ingredients and utensils used in the 1600s, when the Pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower. They will serve in two separate groups. Read More »

This week's "Top Chef," titled "Boston's Bravest and Finest," has the chefs on edge after last week's elimination. Mei is on Cloud 9 after winning it, while Katsuji's trying to make light of being on the bottom. Aaron and Keriann get into it because Aaron feels a chef needs to be good at molecular gastronomy to succeed, and actor Patrick Swaayze made an appearance. (By the way, I have to mention reader Eater Fan who commented in last week's episode recap that Keriann's title of "World's Greatest Young Chef" was earned at the World Association of Chefs Conference in Dubai. Thanks for the info!) Read More »
