Nuke it Up A Notch

Miguel has a "trio dessert" of pumpkin Krispy Kreme, coconut water with chocolate foam, and Listerine Orange "palate cleansers." "It's bread pudding? With Krispy Kreme?" Chefferson confirms. It is. "Sickly sweet," Chefferson pronounces. Tiffani looks worried, but then she hides a grin in her hands. Next up is Andrea's hot mess of "Pit-Stop Peanut Noodles with Aged Teriyaki Beef." She used Cup-a-Soup (or something), beef jerky, and her peanut butter sauce is made from Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. She decorated the edge of the plate with peanuts, which just looks ridiculous. Chefferson decides, "Too peanut butter-y." I want to know how she separated the chocolate from the peanut butter. On to Candice, who chose to do a "spicy tortilla Gas Station Gazpacho." She gets points for thinking up that name, for sure, but gazpacho is supposed to be cold and this looks hot. She used spicy tomato soup and half-and-half. Chefferson laughs sneeringly that it tastes like nacho cheese sauce. Candice's face falls, "Okay." Man, he's just being snide to everyone, isn't he? Candice bitches to us that all the other chef judges have been nice, but this guy definitely wasn't. She insists that she didn't even USE nacho cheese crap. I think Chefferson's overcompensating for having such shitty food of his own, honestly. Harold tells us, "He dissected everybody...I'm really not feeling this guy." Harold explains his dish as ''Green Eggs and SPAM." He's got two thick rounds of shirred eggs on top of two rounds of toast, some relish, a sauce emulsified with the filling from an ice cream sandwich, and garnished it all with crispy SPAM and Funyuns (that one's for you, Sars). I'm not sure what his sauce is but he also has brown smears of something on the plate that make his shirred egg rounds look like shooting stars. "That plating could have been a lot tighter," Chefferson comments, "That relish, I already know, I wouldn't like on there." Whatever, I think the whole plate is pretty brilliant. Tiffani laughs with us that Chefferson's critiques were "on point" but a little "harsh" for a gas station competition.
