I thought that Carla was a gonner from the edit, I'm sad to lose Dale but glad that Carla is still in it. Mike I. gets more and more irritating all the time. Chef law, indeed! What a jerk!
All three of them disrespected the protein, and you know that's Rule 1 of Chef Law! Or at least, Top Chef Law.

Dale Levitski (faux-hawk Dale from Chicago) was just named a semifinalist for a Best Chef: Great Lakes James Beard award (which is a regional award), and Stephanie Izard's The Girl and the Goat has been named Semifinalist for the Outstanding New Restaurant James Beard Award by the same group.
That's excellent.
I'm thrilled. Stephanie got so much shit for winning and of course it is clear to all that she absolutely deserved it.
