‘Top Chef: Colorado’ Recap: Episode 6 — Who Was Eliminated Tonight?

Viewers got to see the chefs on Top Chef: Colorado make some German-inspired dishes. There were too many schnitzels in the kitchen on Top Chef Season 15, but who was eliminated on Top Chef: Colorado tonight? Find out the Episode 6 results below in our Top Chef spoilers.

Last week on Top Chef Season 15, things picked up from the week before, as Tom Colicchio picked a winner of Last Chance Kitchen. It was Claudette and Lee Anne returning to the competition. From there, the chefs headed out to the woods, as they went camping. They had to create a five-star meal using only camping equipment and limited ingredients. Tu tried to make three different types of rabbit, but the judges said he should have stuck with one type only. Because of that, Tu was eliminated.

Quickfire Challenge

Before heading to the kitchen, Lee Anne was having some issues and the medics came in and took her to the hospital. The chefs headed to the kitchen, as Padma Lakshmi and Richard Blais were waiting. For this challenge, the chefs had to create their own signature dish, which some take days to make, in just 30 minutes. The winning chef got immunity tonight and would be featured in a BuzzFeedTasty video on Facebook.

Results

After tasting all of the dishes, Padma and Richard picked the least favorite dishes, which came from Claudette, Adrienne, and Fatima. The favorite dishes came from Chris, Brother, and Joe. The winning dish came from Chris, who won immunity and the BuzzFeed video.

Elimination Challenge

For this challenge, the chefs had to create a German inspired dish and a radler, which is a 50-50 mix of beer and some kind of soda. They would be creating their dishes for 200 people at a party. The chefs were able to go on a field trip, which allowed them to experience German foods on Top Chef: Colorado.

A Surprised Elimination

It turns out that Lee Anne was suffering from altitude sickness and dehydration. They put her on an IV. Once the chefs got back from prepping for the next day, Lee Anne was back in the house. She said because of this sickness and being pregnant, she did not want to risk things and was taking herself out of the competition, just one week after winning a spot on Top Chef Season 15.

Tasting

The chefs got their dishes and radlers ready, as the German festival began. The judges arrived and it was time to taste the food.
