" Season 10, Episode 14: &amp;quot;Kings of Alaska&amp;quot; The final four chefs officially landed in Alaska this week, and the competitions revolved primarily around the region&amp;#039;s natural, local bounties. Not the native moose or the Palin tribe or anything \u2014 we mean seafood. After being nearly eliminated last week for too-typical surf-and-turf, Sheldon upped his creativity in the King Crab Quickfire and redeemed his quest toward the final three. His two-crab miso soup with pine-smoked asparagus won him a nice little check for 5K, as well as the approval of renowned guest judge, Sean Brock, the southern chef behind Charleston&amp;#039;s Husk. But any confidence the gentle, ukulele-playing, Hawaiian might&amp;#039;ve gotten was quickly knocked down by the tight Elimination Challenge \u2014 a salmon bake featuring the fish and fresh sourdough for some 200 locals. His split-pea soup had Padma puckering in downright disgust and Hugh Acheson calling it &amp;quot;a world of bitterness&amp;quot; comparing it to &amp;quot;baby food.&amp;quot; Josh did better but still produced a dish the judges described as lost, overpowering, and imbalanced. In the end though, it was Lizzie&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;boring salmon sandwich&amp;quot; that saved them both and sent her home. Her individual ingredients seemed good but they failed to come together as a unified dish and ultimately lost their unique flavors. She wouldn&amp;#039;t have known though \u2014 she didn&amp;#039;t even try it herself \u2014 and that, to Sean, was &amp;quot;almost unforgivable.&amp;quot;  Brooke won for the second week in a row, winning yet another tropical vacation and establishing herself as the chef to beat in the final three. She wasn&amp;#039;t the only chef to make a soup, but hers managed to showcase both ingredients in all their glory: poached sockeye salmon in a seafood broth with mustard seed caviar and dill sourdough. Both the judges and locals agreed that her dish worked best, with Gail calling it &amp;quot;very bold&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;beautifully made.&amp;quot; Sean went crazy for the one reason a soup wins a challenge this late in the game \u2014 actually why any soup ever wins over your heart. It&amp;#039;s all about the bread and the role that it plays: &amp;quot;When you dunked that in the broth...,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I loved it. I didn&amp;#039;t want it to end.&amp;quot; PLUS: Read More Top Chef Recaps on Eat Like a Man "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
