Nana's elimination seemed like it was only a matter of time. She hasn't yet served a dish that really knocked a significant number of judges off their feet.
Top Chef features Ed Currie's Carolina reapers in an elimination challenge focused on heat, while a Quickfire challenge requires chefs to create savory dishes inspired by Talenti gelato and sorbet flavors that pair with the frozen treats.
Top Chef returns to the Carolinas with 15 chefs competing, including stunt casting of two competitive brothers and a long-term couple, beginning with a NASCAR-themed Quickfire challenge at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
