The third episode of the reality cooking series will air on March 17, 2022, at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Titled 'Noodles and Rice and Everything Nice', the new episode will see the remaining culinary chefs go head-to-head, whipping up some delicious dishes and serving them to 100 guests for an epic Asian street food challenge.
In the upcoming episode, the cheftestants will not go through Quickfire Challenge. This week’s elimination round will be quite tough for them.
The chefs will also be in for a surprise as they will be challenged by All Star guest judge, Hung Huynh, a Vietnamese-American chef who won the third season of the show, Top Chef Miami, 15 years ago.
Huynh will challenge the chefs to make a dish inspired by five of the larger Asian communities in Houston, namely Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Indian cuisines and serve it to 100 guests in the Asian night market.
In a sneak peek of episode 3, the chefs are seen at the supermarket trying to figure out the ingredients for this street food challenge. While some contestants are sure about their dishes, some chefs are in jeopardy about their choice and having second thoughts.
Gail Simmons, Padma Lakshmi and Tom Colicchio will judge the cuisine along with Chef Huynh.
In the last episodes, Leia Gaccione and Stephanie Miller, who were eliminated in episode 1 and episode 2 respectively, gave a tough competition to each other during “Last Chance Kitchen”. At the end, Miller was sent back home as she lost the challenge to Gaccione.
Who will get eliminated this week in episode 3 will be revealed on Thursday, March 17, 2022 on Bravo.
