Wow, what a contrast between the two Restaurant Wars teams - zero question about which team won! The John-Katsuji combination was clearly toxic to the whole team - poor nice guy Sheldon, trying to cook in that mess! And speaking of mess, I laughed out loud when I saw guest judge Daniel Humm cringe as he entered that disaster of a kitchen - I had just watched a short video of him in his own kitchen at Eleven Madison Park as part of the edX Science and Cooking course. His kitchen could certainly have been staged for the video but it was absolutely immaculate, like a sterile suite in a meticulous research laboratory with many chefs in pristine whites working calmly and diligently. No wonder he was so appalled!
Edited to add that I miss @huiray's contributions to these Top Chef discussions (and elsewhere in the forums, too). Ah well.
