I was assigned the two Jennifers; Jen C and Jen Z. I love that I got Jen C because not only is she awesome, but she’s a cook in Philly under Eric Ripert – and Philly is my hometown.
The game started out with a Mise en place relay race, always fun, and then a cook-off between the two losing teams, each chef using the ingredient that they had prepared as a mise en place. Jen C had the clams and made a clam ceviche with nice citrus flavors. Truthfully, even if she hadn’t been my chef, I would have wanted to eat it – I love clams and the less cooked the better. Incidentally, she won the quickfire with her concoction.
Jen Z on the other hand, was just scary to start with. I don’t think that I could have watched a whole season of those disgustingly stretched out earlobes without thinking of them dangling in the food. I was at an amusement park last week and noticed a man with the same earrings outfitted in his lobes at the beginning of a ride. I noticed he didn’t have them at the end of the ride and his droopy lobes nearly brushing his shoulders really grossed me out.
For the elimination challenge, Robin had immunity, thanks to a random drawing, Jen C ended up in the top two and Jen Z went home for a really crappy version of rellanos. Buh-bye Jen Z. even though I’m left with only one chef, I won’t miss you since you didn’t even realize that your dish sucked. Jen C is destined for the top 4 since she has the culinary chops and a personality. Kevin won the challenge but has the personality of a limp dishrag.
And no, Chris, I will not trade you Jen C for Robin and any amount of cookware – I have a complete set already.
