My takeaway lesson from the Quickfire is — spend 5 minutes planning what you are going to do rather than just having at it haphazardly.
For the elimination – i was impressed that Spike and Manuel didn’t throw each other under the bus. At the same time – a chef is a leader – and i didn’t see Manuel bringing much to the table tonight. Have a plan, have the guts to make it good, execute. Ok?

you could also say that a good take-away is to be inspired and make sure your dish is cohesive.

Good point, thanks.
Thinking of movies that would be fun to illustrate via food – meat pies for Sweeney Todd…or a delicious braised (boiled?) bunny for Fatal Attraction.
