Top Chef Portland | Episode 13 Recap

Your Top Chef RHAPup hosts are sharpening their knives and brushing up on their cooking skills as they head back to the kitchen to recap Top Chef Portland. All season long, Haley Strong, Curt Clark, and LaTonya Starks will be putting on their aprons and bringing you the finest coverage.

Today, Brooke Williamson (@ChefBrookeW) joins Haley, Curt, & LaTonya to recap episode 13 of Top Chef Portland, Shellfishly Delicious, where the chefs went clam digging at the Yager Creek Flat in Netarts Bay. They then cooked dishes using their harvested clams. The winner received an advantage in the Elimination Challenge. Then, in honor of Portland native James Beard, the chefs had to prepare both a hot dish and cold dish featuring one of his favorite ingredients: Dungeness crab. The contestants were able to catch their own crabs at Kelly’s Brighton Marina in Nehalem Bay. Top Chef Masters alumna Naomi Pomeroy joined the judges and all-stars as a guest diner. As the winner of the Quickfire Challenge, Gabe received an extra US$100 towards his shopping budget.
