In the Quickfire Challenge, each chef is asked to cook a dish with certain requirements (for example, using specific ingredients or to inspire a certain taste) or participate in a culinary-related challenge (for example, a mise en place relay or a taste test). They are usually given an hour or less to complete these tasks. A guest judge selects one or more chefs as the best in the challenge. Early in the season the winning chef(s) are granted immunity from the following Elimination Challenge. As the number of contestants dwindle no one receives immunity and instead the winner gets another "reward" (such as being team captain for a team challenge).

After the Elimination Challenge ends, the chefs are taken to Judges' Table, where the four judges consider the guests' comments and deliberate on the best and worst dishes. The top individuals or teams are called in, and may be asked questions of their meals before they are notified of their placement. One individual is named the winner of the challenge and may be awarded an additional prize by the guest judge. Then, the bottom individuals or teams are brought to the judges, and similar discussion of their courses is played out. From this group, one chef or team is determined to be the worst, and then the host asks one chef to "pack [their] knives and go." This is usually followed by a knife packing sequence for the eliminated chef, and a clip of his or her exit video, to close out the episode. According to the credits, some elimination decisions (e.g., Cliff Crooks's disqualification in Season 2) are made in consultation with the show's producers.
The show continues in this format for 10-13 episodes, until the Finale.

In the final challenge, the two (or three) remaining chefs prepare a multiple course dinner with the help of other chefs. These other chefs could be previously eliminated chefs or celebrity chefs (for example, Rocco DiSpirito). The winning chef is selected based on several factors including food quality, their ability to lead their selected chefs, and general performance during the show. There is no Quickfire Challenge in this episode.

Top Chef kicked things up a notch this week with everybody's favorite challenge, Restaurant Wars. This isn't just any regular Restaurant Wars challenge though, this is a trendy "pop-up" Restaurant Wars challenge. A pop-up restaurant being a restaurant that is only open temporarily, for a night or for two months. Also adding a little spice into the mix is that this is the only elimination challenge that all of the all-stars have participated in previously. Most of them, like Dale, didn't have fond memories about it. And for the first time ever, they are letting the diners decide the winner.

For the challenge the contestants were given ten minutes to fillet two fish. Except for a few minor errors everybody did a fine job, after all, these are the all-stars. The four best fish butchers, Mike, Dale, Marcel and Richard then had to make a dish out of the remains of their filleted fish. That leaves pretty much just the head. Dale boasted that he had been doing "head to tail cooking before it was cool," (which was weird because I didn't know it was cool) but Dale backed it up with his two winning dishes: fluke back fin sashimi with cucumber, and fluke liver sauce and bacon dashi with salt roasted cod collar. You could probably guess that Anthony Bourdain loved that he used the fish liver. Mmmm-mmm fish liver.

For the elimination challenge both sides had to come up with a name, a theme, and a menu for their restaurant. Marcel initially wanted to call it Medi because they were going with a Mediterranean theme. It's not the most creative name but it is better than what they ended up with, which was Etch. Why it's called Etch is never fully explained. Tiffany, who also needed to work the front of the open air restaurant, hastily created the first course of shaved asparagus salad with a chorizo dressing and salt-cured egg yolk.

For dessert Fabio created an amaretto cheesecake and cappuccino mousse and Carla made a blueberry pie. Fabio also was on his game directing the servers and pretty much running the restaurant. It was pretty impressive even though I find his accent a little too much to handle sometimes.
