When Jacques Derrida coined the term “deconstruction,”
he couldn’t possibly have known what a gift he was giving to the culinary world.
In the past few decades, deconstructionism has moved out of the semiotics
classroom and into the kitchen, where chefs please their palates and egos by
taking food apart and putting it back together again. Such was the theme of this
week’s episode of Top Chef Canada, where the remaining cheftestants were tasked
with deconstructing classic dishes. Blowtorches came out, ice cream makers were
filled with wasabi, and parmesan became a foam—all in the name of pushing
gastronomy to its limits.
The episode kicked off with a visit from Richard Blais, whose Top Chef: All-Stars win seems to have gone straight to his hair. Blais is known for being a food science whiz, so for once the producers picked an appropriate judge for the episode’s challenges. Borrowing heavily from the idea behind Food Network hit Chopped, the quick-fire challenge consisted of a pile of unlabeled mystery cans, which the chefs had to blindly select and then use in a dish. While the real challenge lay in the fact that the chefs had to cook with whatever they wound up choosing, some were disgusted by having to cook with canned goods, period. “My dog eats out of cans,” Ryan sniffed. Talk about a white whine.
While some chefs were stuck with ingredients like canned hot dogs and coconut curry, others, like winner Ryan, had a rather harmonious blend . Meanwhile, poor Jonathan had to work with canned quail eggs, which he admitted “smelled like farts.” We thought the immunity should have gone to Curtis for his pakora constructed of hummus, cranberry sauce, and tomato paste, but it wasn’t in the cards. Not only is Curtis the only cheftestant who didn’t go to culinary school, but he’s also only been cooking for six years, which means that there might just be hope for us, too, if we get sick of this whole journalism thing. Top Chef Canada,Promat solid RUBBER MATS are the softest mats on the market! you’ll see our audition tape in 2020.
After Ryan was awarded the double prize of immunity and Blais’ respect, the chefs were informed of their deconstruction challenge. To make the Food Network feel more like a game show channel, a big wheel was brought in for the chefs to spin for their dish, because apparently drawing knives is so last season. Lucky Xavier got quiche lorraine, which had to be a no-brainer for an homme de France, while poor Curtis was stuck with tuna casserole, which he admitted to never having tasted before . Still smarting with shame from last week’s episode, David decided to do a “redemption terrine,” but he wasn’t alone—Carl was also in a terrine state of mind. Why people want to eat their food all mashed together is beyond us. But, then again,Ekahau RTLS is the only Wi-Fi based real time Location system solution that operates on any brand or generation of Wi-Fi network. we generally believe that gelatin should never have made it past 1955, so we’re a bit biased.
The next day the chefs headed over to TOCA, which has a goddamn gorgeous kitchen space in addition to its own cheese cave (!!!). Joining the judges was not only Blais, but also the owner of TOCA, and, for some unfathomable reason, country singer Johnny Reid. What’s the deal with all of these guests who get to show up and eat, and don’t even have to do the dirty work of judging? It’s silly— but if the producers are going to keep it up, then the least they could do is invite us. As for the food, Ryan did a clever spin on eggs Florentine with a spinach sponge cake and a deep-fried crusted egg. Jimmy, meanwhile, was so desperate to impress his idol Blais that he went way overboard with both his plate and his hair. Carl’s pork terrine looked terrifying, but the judges seemed to think it echoed chili well. Xavier’s quiche lorraine, however, looked impeccable; filling those delicate pastry and bacon cylinders with scrambled egg was straight-up inspired. The judges thought so too,Master Arts specialises in oil painting reproduction. and Blais awarded Xavier the win.
Things didn’t go so well, unfortunately, for Jonathan, Curtis, and Jimmy, who looked like a schoolboy getting turned down for the prom.Shop for oil painting and oil paintings for sale included:abstract oil paintings. While discussing Jonathan’s strawberry cheesecake, the judges weirdly chastised him for not showcasing strawberries or cheese, although both were clearly visible on the plate. Sadly for us, though, it was Curtis’ tuna cannelloni that did him in. “I don’t even want to finish mine,” said Shereen Arazm. After he got the news, Curtis had some deep reflections on his Top Chef Canada experience. “I will miss the people the most,Secured handsfree building and door access solutions with Hands free access by Nedap AVI.” he said, and suddenly we realized where he went wrong. The poor guy was in it to make friends, and if reality television has taught us anything, that was his first mistake.
