"This week&amp;#039;s installment brought our dome-headed chef to Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia. Michael had to cook for 250 of the hospital&amp;#039;s doctors and nurses as a thank you for their good work. The first thing I thought when they explained the challenge was that he could serve them day-old pizza and they would like it, since anything tastes better than hospital food. I personally felt that Michael had it easy in this episode. At one point he had so many helpers that I couldn&amp;#039;t count them all, including three former patients whose lives had been saved by the hospital staff. Next Food Network Star winner Aaron McCargo, Jr. showed up to help out as well. With their help, Michael put out courses like chilled carrot soup, olive-cured tuna, roasted pork, vegetable ragout, cr\u00E8me br\u00FBl\u00E9e, and prime rib. There was also a beautiful array of mushrooms on display that had me wishing I had access to a Food Network budget for my kitchen. It all looked good, but if he wanted to put out &amp;quot;great hospital food&amp;quot; like he said, he should have made some sort of gourmet Jell-O. My favorite part was when Michael almost lost it when the cream for his dessert ended up on the floor. It still seems like the guy can&amp;#039;t handle the stress of these challenges sometimes. So what did we learn in this episode? First of all, if you&amp;#039;re fortunate enough to have helpers to delegate responsibilities to, as you might at Thanksgiving, make sure you maintain control over them. In this episode, Michael disappeared from the kitchen and everything seemed to go to hell in his absence. But also, if and when you face difficulties, be flexible and be smart enough to know that almost any dish can be salvaged. Michael&amp;#039;s original idea for a vanilla cr\u00E8me br\u00FBl\u00E9e just didn&amp;#039;t work out, so it turned into a vanilla pudding, and then finally a banana pudding. As long as you don&amp;#039;t give up on your food, it won&amp;#039;t give up on you. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
