The quick fire this week is to create a signature hot dog and go up against Angelina who apparently is a famous hot dog vendor in NYC. Fabio has no idea how to make a hot dog but that doesn't stop him from trashing everyone else. He gets knocked down a peg when Radhika wins with her Indian inspired lamb dogs.
Keeping with the all American theme, the elimination challenge is to create a three course New American lunch menu. The chefs divide themselves into threes, appetizers, entree and dessert with everyone responsible for one dish. The frenzied shopping begins and Jill decides to buy ostrich eggs to make quiche. OK. After everyone is back and in the kitchen, Chef Tom drops the bombshell. Not only will they be serving lunch in his own restaurant but the customers will be chefs that tried out for Top Chef and didn't make the cut. No pressure there! 
Back in the kitchen, Ariane is making a lemon meringue martini and wants everyone to taste it. Did anyone bother to tell her this is a competition? Does she honestly think they are going to tell her what they really think? Actually it looked like most of them were honest but she still said, "if I don't win you all are going to hear it!" There's gratitude for you!
The "customers" come in the restaurant wanting to hate everything and they pretty much succeeded. They all said how they would have done this or done that. They talk a big game but I wonder if they knew how much time the chefs had to prepare. The only dishes they liked were Jamie's corn soup, Stefan's halibut, Jeff's chicken and Carla's apple tart. Everyone hated Ariane's martini saying it was way too sweet, even Padama had to spit it out. The judge's commented they could tell Radhika had immunity when they tasted her avocado mousse, avocado mousse?! Fabio lives to trash talk another day when he wins with his beef carpasco with olives and Parmesan cheese. Ariane dodges the bullet again when Jill and her ostrich egg disaster is told to pack her knives and go. Double D
