I really enjoyed this episode because the food looked fantastic, and the challenges were real cooking challenges (wheras some just seem gimmicky). Also, and maybe more imporatant, the chefs, beyond being immensely talented) were so professional and we didn't have to watch any eogcentric grandstanding or drama queen monologues. Maybe that's why there was time to show so much more cooking.

I have to say that I was astounded when the judges bashed the tail-on shrimp because it was a cocktail party. I agree that when served shrimp on a plate at a table, I use a knife and fork, but if it's a cocktail party, and there's a tail on the shimp - who looks for the utensils?

Otherwise, loved the episode - Noren's smoking comment was my highlight, though!

Great episode but I was very sad that Zoila wasn't there to judge the Quickfire Challenge. I would have loved to have heard her shout "Let's go lunch!"

My favorite quote from this episode, aside from Jay Rayner calling James Oseland Fishboy was Nils Noren saying "Growing up in Sweden, you smoke a lot of things."

Michael Chiarello really knows how to work a crowd, doesn't he. I must say that I really would like to try that dessert.

Does it seem like we saw more cooking in this episode than we did if the previous episode (with Besh et al)?
