S23 Ep 8: Restaurant Wars

A loaded recap episode this week tackles all the happenings on Top Chef’s iconic Restaurant Wars episode with a special boots-on-the-ground report from Tom, who attended as a takeout guest. Sara and Tom break it all down and rehash Sara’s Restaurant Wars history and whether she’d prefer to be dine-in or takeout. Sara disagrees with the choice of which chef went home while Tom questions the kitchen jobs of the Tierra Reina team. Is a welcome drink a waste of time? Did immunity save a certain chef? Is a Bloomin’ Onion the worst takeout food of all-time? We also had a Last Chance Kitchen finale to recap. We welcome back the LCK winner and look forward to the show’s next stop in the Carolinas.
