In a jaw-dropping episode of ‘Top Chef: Houston,’ two chefs made a triumphant return, while a frontrunner’s journey came to an end. Christina Tosi’s QuickFire Challenge tested the pastry skills of the contestants, with Michelle emerging victorious. The Elimination Challenge, judged by Matty Matheson, pushed the chefs to break culinary norms. Bold dishes from Savannah, Milwaukee Dan, Danny, and Soo impressed the judges, but Michelle and Rasika found themselves struggling. Ultimately, Rasika, a formidable competitor with two Elimination wins, was surprisingly eliminated, leaving viewers on edge for the upcoming episodes.
