On tonight's episode of Top Chef Masters - "The Lost Supper" - another four chef-testants take center stage and duel it out with the best of the best. Among those competing are Elizabeth Falker (Citizen Cake, San Francisco), Suzanne Tracht (Tracht's, Los Angeles), Graham Elliot Bowles (Graham Elliot, Chicago) and Wylie Dufresne (wd-50, New York).
Starting off the episode is a quickfire challenge reminiscent of the amuse bouche vending machine challenge from Top Chef's sophomore season. As for the elimination challenge, the Top Chef Masters contestants start off with a counter full of protein, including animal heads, chickens, etc. The task is to create a meal for the writers of ABC sci-fi series Lost (which is from a rival network). We also learn that Tracht is a huge Lost fan, while Dufresne has never heard of the show. Nevertheless, the challenge is to create a meal as if they were one of the survivors of Lost. So that explains all the fresh protein and all the canned and preserved goods labeled "Dharma approved."
