Episode 6: Dale Talde Versus Tiffani Faison
From Bravo:
When two chefs known for their tempers face off, it is bound to get hot in the kitchen. First, Dale challenges Tiffani to relive a past failure of hers in preparing dim sum. Then Tiffani counters with a contest based on an American canapé and classic cocktail. For the Duel, featuring guest judges Rob Zombie, Scott Ian, and Gary Holt, the chefs must prepare a vegan meal and service will get hard core as one Chef will be rocked. These Top Chef All-Stars are out to prove that the third time’s the charm.
Accolades Between the Chefs: Faison is one of the first cheftestants to appear on Top Chef, ever. She was runner-up on season one, and has worked with all the best chefs like
Number of Predicted Meltdowns Between the Two Competitors: Bravo seems to predict at least one meltdown in its description — the real question is which chef will be having it.
Will This Make for Good TV: Two feisty competitors? Oh yeah.
Who Will Win: Faison admits it off the bat — dumplings are hard. And of course Talde throws it at her right off the bat. And then to give a vegan final challenge to a barbecue master is … a challenge, alright. We don’t expect anything less from Faison than a good fight, but ultimately, the cards are stacked in Talde’s favor.
Share with us who you think will win this episode — or who would win in an actual food fight.
*Update: We were right! Although Faison put up a tough fight, Talde just barely edged out above her to win.
