They were in Paris for the final stretch of the competition and decided to do their best. View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe official synopsis of the episode, titled Fin., reads:"The final three chefs cook the meal of their lives for Padma, Tom and Gail, along with a table of culinary luminaries in Paris."For their final cook, the Top Chef finalists were welcomed by host Padma Lakshmi and judge Tom Colicchio. They had to cook a proper four-course progressive meal for the staples as well as a table full of renowned chefs as guest judges for the finale. This left the chefs extremely nervous as they knew they had to pull out the big guns and impress the legends. Fortunately for the finalists, the judges brought in three talented contestants from their season, Amar Santana (California), Tom Goetter (Germany), and Ali Ghzawi (Middle East), to help Buddha, Sara, and Gabri as their sous chefs. The finalists drew knives to select their own partners. Sara earned the first pick and chose Amar, considering his experience. Gabri picked second and chose to go with his buddy Tom. This left Buddha with Ali. The finalists then proceeded to cook their one last meal. Check out what the contestants cooked as part of their four-course meal:Buddha LoRainbow trout with clam velouteBlue lobster with squash and curry bisqueNgau lam with lamb, roasted eggplant and lamb croquetteCoconut, raspberry and chocolate lamingtonSara BradleyCouvillion with shellfish and trinityLiver and onions with cookie butter and figsBurgoo with beans and cornbreadPea cake with pistachios and buttermilk sorbetGabriel Rodriguez (Gabri)Esquites with huitlacoche puree and grasshopper tostadaSweet potato empanada with black bean pureeChiles en nogadaChocolate tamal, hazelut ice cream and chocolate pate a bombeSeason 20 of Top Chef was widely watched by the audience.
