The final test is to make the best three course meal of their lives. They get help from past runners up Richard, Casey and Marcel. Hosea gets Richard, Carla gets Casey and Stefan teams up with Marcel. Two egos that size? No kitchen is big enough for that! Hosea gets to the kitchen and grabs all of the fois gras which pisses off Stefan so Hosea offers to split it with him. Of course Stefan gets all obnoxious saying no Hosea you keep it. Then Hosea gets all of the caviar and again, Stefan gets his briefs in a bunch. I love it!
After prepping their dishes, the chefs are treated to a Voodoo taro card reader. Stefan admits buying three voodoo dolls and stabbing Carla and Hosea. Are we surprised? I think not.
In another twist, the chefs are told that they have to make an appetizer using alligator, red fish or crab. Hosea wins the pick and chooses red fish for himself. He gets to chose for the other two so he give Carla the crabs (hee, hee!) and slam dunks Stefan with the alligator. As the cooking continues, Carla and Casey are getting along great but it seems Carla is letting her take over to the point that Carla is cooking things in a style that she has never done before. I was saying to the TV, Carla, remember Casey didn't win! Meanwhile, it is obvious that even Marcel didn't like Stefan very much. Richard & Hosea must have got on fabulously since there wasn't much footage on those two.
The appetizers are all a big hit. Course one and Carla's red fish stood out with Hosea and Stefan being on the bland side. Course two and Carla didn't do so well having listened to Casey and cooked her meat in a style she had never done before.
Course three and Carla is on free fall. Her souffles fell and she could only serve half of her dish, again, complements of Casey. Carla wanted to do a tart which she is so good at but at Casey's urging did the souffles instead. No one was impressed by Stefan's desserts while they all liked Hosea's venison.
Poor Carla, she listened to Casey rather than her own heart so was eliminated from the start. Can you tell I was hoping for Carla to win? So it's between Hosea and Stefan. Of course the judges draw it out comparing each dish. Then they say they are basing their decision on the best over all meal, well then we know it has to be Hosea since Stefan had so many ups and downs while Hosea stayed consistently good. Stefan was shocked not to hear his name being declared Top Chef but instead, it is a big congrats to Hosea, this seasons Top Chef! Double D
