"Luke, let's start with you."
Top Chef
"I did pull things that I wanted to try to relate to me."
Top Chef
"It's hard to truly cure salmon in two and a half hours."
Top Chef
"I think it just needed salt,"
Top Chef
"and the texture wasn't quite there yet."
Top Chef
"I think the dish as a whole felt a little bit boring to me."
Top Chef
"Something was a little bit missing and lacking."
Top Chef
"TIFFANY: Tell me about the oyster emulsion."
Top Chef
"Ideally, it should have been a little bit more bold."

"With adding the fudge that I made"
Top Chef
"from the chicken reduction,"
Top Chef
"I thought it would be a little bit enough with the salt."
Top Chef
"How could we possibly have had chicken fudge"
Top Chef
"with every bite when you gave us a teeny little dollop?"
Top Chef
"Compositionally, there's elements on the plate"
Top Chef
"that are really tasty, and yet we're not getting it."
Top Chef
"Yep."
Top Chef
"Monique, did you feel like you were struggling today?"
Top Chef
"Not with the idea."
Top Chef
"I think I struggled the most with the time at the end."
Top Chef
"You had a situation but it didn't feel"
Top Chef
"like you pivoted very well, right?"
Top Chef
"And if I'm being really honest, the bean salad reminded"
Top Chef
"me of, like, a three bean salad that you get out of a can."
Top Chef
"It didn't have any definition of flavor."
Top Chef
"Everything tasted the same."
Top Chef
"My bowl had beans and two halves of an oyster."
Top Chef
"-Okay. -And really, that's it."
Top Chef
"I didn't get the broth."
Top Chef
"I didn't get the apple that you talked about."
Top Chef
"-I didn't get any herbs. -Sorry."
Top Chef
"Most of the flavor was in that broth with the pancetta."
Top Chef
"And that's where I messed up, yeah."
Top Chef
"Did you cut oysters?"
Top Chef
"I cut the oysters after I fried them,"
Top Chef
"because some of them were big."
Top Chef
"When you cut it, all those juices came out"
Top Chef
"so you lost the beauty of a fried oyster."
Top Chef
"It was gone at that point."
Top Chef
"Ashleigh, when those plates went out, you were like,"
Top Chef
""This is how I wanted it to come out"?"
Top Chef
"Honestly, yeah. I thought that I was sticking"
