Samuel Albert, the winner of Top Chef France, was eliminated last week over a simple but crucial mistake. The remaining chefs had to bring their A game if they wanted to either win the challenges or even mark their safety this week.The contestants realized that they had to be &quot;on the ball in every challenge.&quot; They were also quick to note that because they were all previous winners or finalists, they were already beginning the competition at the finale/final four or five level.The official synopsis of the episode, titled Rice, Rice Baby, reads:&quot;In the Quickfire, the chefs are challenged to make an amuse-bouche with unexpected ingredients that must fit on a Ritz cracker; the competition heats up as the chefs head to Alexandra Palace, where they must create rice dishes for 100 guests.&quot;Host Padma Lakshmi welcomed the contestants for their Quickfire challenge of the week. The chefs also applauded the guest judge, Santiago Lastra, a Michelin-star chef and the owner of KOL, a Mexican restaurant in London.The contestants were then asked to create delicious bites of amuse-bouche that would wow the judges. However, there was a catch. After the chefs picked their ingredients for the same, they had to create amuse buches in teams of three. They had to make the appetizer fit into a Ritz-cracker, a snack-cracker that is small disc-shaped.
