WHY FOAM? WHY NOW? If you asked me to construct a perfect episode of Top Chef, it'd look a lot like this one. Heavy on the Bourdain, with a Quickfire visit from filleting god Justo Thomas, and then a Restaurant Wars in which one team soars like I've never seen a Wars team soar before while the other crashes, burns, explodes and faces elimination in an exceptionally satisfying way.
You know how we say "if you're going on Survivor, learn to start a fire without a flint" and "if you're going on The Amazing Race, learn to drive stick"? If you're going on Top Chef, have a Restaurant Wars concept ready. Because that was brilliant.
