QUOTES (3)
ADD QUOTES-
Jay: (referring to the "chorizo air" foam) This is not Rick's greatest dish, and I think it's summed up by the foam, which is a little like your elderly granny at the family wedding putting on spandex hot pants and dancing a disco.
-
Rick: (downplaying Hubert's secret weapon) Yeah, you can slice truffles over a dish and say it's special, but it's not, really. It's just expensive!
-
Michael: (as the finalists arrive at the Getty Villa) The better the view, the tougher the challenge!

NOTES (3)
ADD NOTES-
Also Featured:
Laurent Pillard, Sous Chef of Hubert
Nick Ritchie, Sous Chef of Michael
Brian Enyart, Sous Chef of Rick -
Michael was the only finalist who has never appeared as a Guest Judge on Top Chef. Rick had the opportunity to Judge Stephanie Izard in season 4 of TC, and Hubert Judged multiple times, sampling the food of season 1's Harold, Ilan of 2, and Hosea of season 3. However, Michael would be tapped to be a Guest Judge in TC's sixth season "Season Finale Part 1".
-
This episode began 15 minutes late (10:15 pm E/P) to accommodate Top Chef's season six premiere, which was moved from its original air date of August 26, 2009.

ALLUSIONS (1)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Michael: To be in the top three of the first twenty-four chefs chosen to do this is like, Rocky Marciano, Rocky Balboa, and Rocky's trainer all fighting at the same time. And you get to the end, and you're all just throwing punches!
Rocky Marciano was a the heavyweight champion of the world from Sept 1952 to Apr 1956. He's the only heavyweight champion to end his career having won every fight. Rocky Balboa is the fictional boxer played by Sylvester Stallone in the Rocky film franchise; Burgess Meredith played his trainer in the first few movies.
