Top Chef: Common Threads

In this week's Quickfire Challenge, the chefs had to create a rice dish in 15 minutes, for Padma and Chef Art Smith! Antonia's childhood favorite, rice salad, won the day. In the Elimination Challenge, the chefs not only had to create a healthy entree for a family of four, their budget was only $10 and they had pint-size sous-chefs. All of the chefs rose to the challenge, but not all created memorable dishes. In the end, Antonia won again, while Mark's protein-deficient curry sent him home.
