Last week, Tiffany went home after a deserted island elimination challenge. Her dish was a hot conch chowder and a cold ceviche that turned all cold before the judges could get to it. So who is left? Blais, Mike Isabella, and Antonia go on to face another round of eliminations before the Top Chef All-Star is chosen.
So who has the best chance of winning?
Blais has consistently cooked good food. He has never been on the bottom and has won many of the challenges. His food is innovative and interesting and tastes good as well.
Mike Isabella was the surprise of the season. His cooking has gotten better and better each week. He also took time to study what might be in challenges in the Bahama's. So the rest of the competitors were left to bang on conch like the Flintstones while Mike simply boiled them and pulled them out. However , he also has been sneaky. Does he deserve to win after stealing Blais' idea of chicken oyster in an oyster shell? You be the judge.
Then there is Sweet Antonia. Consistent cooking in her own style has got her this far, should she go all the way? The only times she has ended on the bottom is when she veered from her own style. While she is not my favorite, I must admit that her food is the type that I would most likely want to try to cook.
So there are the choices, Blais, Mike, and Antonia....who will it be?
Update:
On the most recent episode of Top Chef, Antonia was sent packing and we are now down to only Mike Isabella and Blais. Out of our last two contestants, Who Should Win Top Chef All Start?
