All details about Top Chef Season 19 Episode 5
Episode 5 of Top Chef, titled Don't Mess With BBQ, will air on March 31, 2022 at 8 p.m. on Bravo TV. The chefs will take up the challenge of making a unique dish using a Houston barbecue staple – brisket – to be presented in front of Greg Gatlin, the owner of one of the most well-known BBQ restaurants in Texas.
Chefs do their best to come up with a unique brisket dish, but not every chef is successful at creating a new and different dish. While some chefs like what they prepare, others are very disappointed with the final outcome and have their hearts pounding in front of the judges.
During the Last Chance Kitchen, chefs will get another chance to make a spectacular dish to impress the judges and find their place back in the kitchen.
During the last episode, titled Doppelgängers, chefs were asked to create biscuits from scratch for the guest judge, Chef Chris Williams. The winner of the Quickfire Challenge received an advantage in the elimination challenge instead of immunity.
The winner, Jackson Kalb, got the advantage of choosing his partner first. He and Buddha Lo also got 30 minutes of extra cooking time.
The chefs were paired into groups of six and were asked to prepare two dishes that looked exactly the same but tasted completely different. The Judges, Top Chef: All-Stars L.A. winner Melissa King and Top Chef Masters alum Wylie Dufresne, selected Team Blue, Buddha and Jackson as the winners.
Team Yellow, Robert Hernandez and Sarah Welch, lost the challenge and were eliminated.
