And I usually think of shrimp scampi with rice, too.
And boys -- let's watch the swearing.

yeah, the cauliflower flan thing was odd.
I can't even remember the other scampi - do you guys?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Anthony annoyed me, the Kiwi guy was cute and sort of clueless, and I felt bad for both Nimma and ... Brian? Whoever didn't know what piccata was.
Ryan, and I really thought he would be the one to go. Nimma seemed to be tripped up by nerves -- I think the isolating herself was a bad move. I know from poetry slam and other big competitions that blowing off steam and relaxing can to a large part keep you on your gaem. Obsessing? That just makes things worse. Staying solitary in that sort of competitive environment takes a particular breed of stoic, and they're rare.
I'll admit I'm digging on Andrew. I think he's hysterical. Lea and I realized that he reminds us a lot of our favorite coffee slacker, so we're kinda predisposed.
I don't think Mark, "The Kiwi Guy," is clueless. My gut instinct is that he's immensely talented, but that he blew it trying to show off. I'm curious to see if he makes the same mistake twice.
I wish Bourdain was on every week. Although I did miss Ted.
Bourdain and Rocco seem to be becoming "semi-regulars." I wholeheartedly approve, although I wonder what Gordon Ramsey would be like as a judge ...

Too bad Ramsey has his own cooking talent show. (It's coming back soon, I think. Saw something about it on Zap2it.)
I loved the house that they have the cheftestants staying in. Deluxe!

Oh, I thought that the uncertain souffle makers should have tried to do their best classic souffle and not fancy it up.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I've never heard of piccata with a cream sauce. Just lemon juice, butter, parsley, capers, salt, pepper.

Of course, Rocco insulted deep dish.

The success of a soufflé relies on a precise chemical and physical reaction, and if you don’t have your recipe handy or in your head, good luck.
Umm....no, it really doesn't. Souffle is actually really hard to screw up. (Assuming you've (a) made one before and (b) know how to beat an egg white.)

They should have known from the name that "tart" was involved.
I don't know that I would have gotten that. Regardless, all the mashed potatoes and rice and whatever - why are side dishes even coming into it? It's not like a shepherd's pie where it's part of the dish. Also - okay, you can't check out a cookbook but you could, you know, ask around. Someone would have been willing to help out, I'm sure. Idiots.
I thought Ryan was the souffle guy. (And what Jess said about souffles)
