" Season 10, Episode 5: &amp;quot;Pike&amp;#039;s Place Pickle&amp;quot; We can all agree that last night&amp;#039;s episode embarrassed the remaining Top Chef contenders. For professional chefs, the Pike&amp;#039;s Place Farmer&amp;#039;s Market Challenge didn&amp;#039;t sound all that hard: work with unusual, artisanal ingredients and impress vendors as well as judges. When all fourteen chefs failed to produce a single good dish, Tom Colicchio revoked the $10,000 prize, and he was right. It didn&amp;#039;t matter that they hadn&amp;#039;t worked with rose petals before: Josie and Eliza made salmon-and-clams cardamom broth with dashes of sand; CJ and Tyler made a burger with a pickle and called it a pickle dish; and Danyele and Elizabeth made a chocolate mousse tart that incorporated non-artisan chocolate, disappointing the poor woman who sold the artisan chocolate. They fared better in last night&amp;#039;s first half, the Quickfire Challenge to make the market vendors a breakfast on a stick, though it wasn&amp;#039;t enough to redeem the chefs. Bart and Sheldon&amp;#039;s entry, an eggs, cheese, pancetta, bacon, and spinach pur\u00E9e sandwich, looked effective, if a bit obvious. Though most of the seven teams used pancetta, only these guys bothered with good-old American bacon, and Daisley Gordon of March\u00E9 commented on the creativity of including the spinach puree. But this finger-food plate was a dim highlight among all the sandy food \u2014 and, worse, the chefs were high-fiving each other for a job well-done before Colicchio grilled them at the end of the episode.
