A Few Extra Mushrooms

Back in the kitchen, the cheftestants have two and a half hours to prep. Jamie explains the "Something Borrowed" team's menu: Eastern spiced lamb marinated in yogurt, vadouvan carrot puree, wilted kale, and cucumber raita. Radhika explains that she's making the marinade for the lamb as well as the raita, both of which she's made a million times. Ariane is cooking the lamb.

The "Something New" team is making surf & turf sushi roll (Eugene), frisee salad in a won ton bowl (Carla), peach-miso BBQ sauce (Danny), and a yuzu sorbet (Carla, I think). What is the BBQ sauce for? The sushi roll? I don't even understand why that's on the menu. Also, that's all Danny is doing: making sauce. That hardly seems fair. Eugene is using a digital rice cooker to make rice. The timer goes off and he decides to leave the rice in there.

The "Something Blue" team is making Chilean sea bass (Fabio), roasted corn puree (Leah), and Swiss chard (Melissa). It seems a bit simple compared to some of the other menus. Like, what is Melissa doing to the Swiss chard? That's not even a dish, really. Fabio interviews that they will be feeding well-educated women with great palates tomorrow, so it's scary.

The "Something Old" team is making a tomato terrine wrapped in eggplant (Stefan), Carpaccio with tomato sorbet (Jeff), and gazpacho (Hosea). Hosea admits that he's taking a backseat because he has immunity and he doesn't feel right about ordering people around when he's not the one who'll be getting eliminated.
