It was the cooking competition show's very first pizza party elimination challenge. Some chefs rose to the occasion beautifully, while others struggled. Read on to find out which chef was sent to Last Chance Kitchen, but be warned of?spoilers ahead. This week's Elimination Challenge proved tricky. As contestant Bailey Sullivan said, "Pizza may seem simple, but it's truly an art form." After tasting everyone's pizzas, the regular judges plus guest judges?Chef Wylie Dufresne?and??chose?Henry Lu,?Paula Endara?and?Cesar Murillo?as the bottom 3, and ultimately, Chef Lu was sent packing.?Tristan Epps?was named the winner of the challenge for his pizza that featured an anchovy ranch dipping sauce that the judges said was so good that he could bottle it and sell it. Epps now has immunity next week; it's the last immunity of the season. Regarding Chef Lu, what really did him in was his shopping time at Whole Foods. He accidentally didn't buy enough flour, and the dough he?was?able to make didn't rise correctly, so he pivoted to sushi pizza. His idea was to crisp up sushi rice to make a crust and then lean into the flavors of pho, a traditional Vietnamese soup made with noodles and thinly-sliced beef. Lu's pizza consisted of pho-flavored sushi rice pizza with pho-marinated brisket, herb pesto and hoisin sriracha aioli, plus he folded foie gras into the brisket. The judges thought the flavors were OK (but not great), but the sushi rice crust completely fell a part, so they didn't think he really presented them with an actual pizza, which was the challenge. Mendelsohn praised Lu for taking a big swing, but host and judge?Kristen Kish?commented that she thought Lu "wasn't leaning into the pho flavor" enough. Judge?Gail Simmons?said the pizza was "really just eating like a tartare with extra herbs." "It was just a rice dish. It was somewhat tasty, but it was a rice dish with raw beef on top. It was round, that's all you could say for how it approximated pizza," added judge?Tom Colicchio. On his way out, Lu acknowledged that without having enough flour to make a proper pizza dough, he was "cooking to survive" rather than putting forth his best effort. "I did a pizza challenge with no real pizza. I'm going home because I didn't make what I wanted to make. I was cooking to survive," said Lu, adding, "I've never challenged myself in this kind of way before.?Top Chef?pushed me to my absolute limit, but I won't give up. Just because something's hard doesn't mean I'm going to stop." He'll have a chance to return if he is successful in?Last Chance Kitchen, but Lu can?take heart in the fact that he won the Quickfire Challenge this week, so he left?Top Chef?with $10,000 for winning this week's Quickfire with his mochi dessert treat that he made with maple, butter and oats.
