The Greatest - Fried chicken is featured. Chef Art Smith guests judges a secret herbs and spices blind taste test ahead of the Quickfire fry-off. Then the elimination challenge focuses on boxer and philanthropist Muhammad Ali. Using his memorable fights as inspiration, the chefs must make a progressive meal for a charity benefit at the Muhammad Ali Center for donors, the judges, and special guest Laila Ali.
Enjoy the show!

I've been to the Ali Center. It is really cool. You learn a lot.

When will Adrienne go home? I find her so annoying. I actually don't care for any of the remaining chefs...sigh.

I LOVE Eric and so glad he made fufu! His wife is non-stop beautiful as well.
Sad that Eddie was eliminated, he was so fun to watch, even when he won he looked stressed out.

This was a really cool episode. I've enjoyed all of the info about Kentucky that we've gotten this season. (Can't say the same about enjoying all the chefs, but the setting is amazing and has been fun to watch.)
I'm also sad that Eddie lost. Shoot.

North and West African food is delicious but you really don't hear about it a lot, so I'm glad Eric is on this show to spotlight that cuisine. I hope he opens his own place after this because I would definitely go to it. Good for him and Sara for winning the Main Heat and Quickfire.
Laila Ali is very beautiful. When she smiled last night I could completely see her dad and it was nice.
Going home might have actually done Eddie a favor since he was constantly stressed out.
I pretty much like everyone who is left so whoever they pick to go home from here on out is going to suck.

The reason you see so much local flavor is likely that the Tennessee and Kentucky tourism offices were big contributors in sharing the production costs to get them to film there. I forget where I read that, but I did see somewhere a reference to them underwriting the season.

Kao, I soooo agree. I adore Michelle, and Eric ALWAYS makes me smile. Justin can cook, but I am not a fan of his attitude most of the time. Sara is a mess, Kelsey is a borderline mean girl, and no clue how Adrienne is still there at this point. She is not on level with Eric or even Kelsey and Justin.. I hope she is next to go. Never thought Eddie would go before her in the beginning.

I don't have the recall to remember if the hometown chefs in past seasons stayed longer. This season seems to have a lot of chicken dishes. I despise chicken. Maybe Eddie going home on chicken will break the cycle. Anyway, I think that the article I read said that the season location pays for half the production cost for the show so it is a pretty big incentive intentional or otherwise for some hometown refereeing |

It's true that the show strikes deals with cities/states and gets money and production breaks from them in exchange for featuring their location all season. This is why the seasons have turned from being set in a single city to traveling around a whole state (Texas, California, Colorado, Kentucky) -- they can probably get more money from a whole state than a city.

I do not like Sara, which mostly started due to her constant "I'm the Kentucky girl and I'm the only one that knows how to cook anything that has even had the word Kentucky said in a four hundred word radius", and then compounded as I got to "know" her. The brat attack about not wanting to be the one who always cooks the Kentucky food when it has literally been her mantra since Day One and the subsequent "everybody but me got to cook what they want" whine was the childish cherry on top.
