Prior to this, the top standout episodes of this season have been "Chaos Cuisine" and "The Good Land."
In "Lay it All on the Table," we were treated to a triumphant return from "Last Chance Kitchen" and stunning dish from Laura, a sharp turn in the Quick Fire and a beautifully classic elimination dish from Savannah. There were top-tier tablescapes from Danny (who apparently competed in the Bocuse D'or, which I don't think we've heard him mention before) and Dan (who apparently had tried out for "Top Chef" 13 times prior to being cast!), a quasi-successful risotto and a fun little nugget that Manny was once in an "emo punk" band. You learn something every day!
