Top Chef: High Steaks

This week's episode was all about the meat. First, the chefs had to butcher their own Tomahawk chop, to create a dish for famed Chicago chef Rick Tramonto. Spike was lauded for his excellent butchering, and got the advantage of choosing his proteins first in the "Elimination Challenge." For the "Elimination Challenge," the chefs had to create an appetizer and an entree, to be served at Tramonto's Steak and Seafood, to Top Chef winners Harold Dieterle, Ilan Hall and Hung Huynh. In the end, it is Spike that is eliminated.
