Have a Heart

Ah, shucks! Oysters in the first basket cause some problems, leading up to an emotional ending to the round. Then the competitors gain momentum in the entrée round when they're challenged to work with two Japanese ingredients. And the judges have to say sayonara to one last chef, after tasting the finalists' passionately prepared passion fruit desserts.

Meal[]

Appetizer[]

Ingredients: Oysters, Clementines, Chinese Okra, French Dressing

Chef Wayne made Pan-Fried Oysters with Chinese Okra. The oyster is perfectly crispy and beautifully seasoned. The Chinese okra is gritty and Amanda got way too much of it on her plate.

Chef Rosalind made Oysters Sofrito with Chinese Okra & Clementines. Rosalind forgot the french dressing. Her oysters are very tasty and easily the best. Only two plates got clementines and the judges dislike that the okra was simply thrown on the plate with nothing on it.

Chef Adam made Oysters & Okra on Grilled Flatbread. The idea is super creative and smart but the dough is soggy and almost raw.

Chef Shawn made Baked Oysters with Okra Mignonette & Arugula Salad. The oysters are tender and moist. Shawn did the best job with the Chinese okra. The dish as a whole is too peppery.

The judges decide they must chop Chef Rosalind for failing to get all of the ingredients on her plates.
