Top Chef Carla Caves In To Scallops For Elimination Challenge

On a recent Top Chef Elimination Challenge, the chefs had it easy-serve up whatever you want that best showcases your talent.
Contestant Carla really wanted to serve a vegetarian dish, but thought not having a protein would make her lose points.
Maybe it’s time for Carla to take a basic nutrition course as well as cooking classes. Although the judges might not be tofu and tempeh fans, there are plenty of plant based proteins that would have made her dish shine like beans, lentils, or whole grain pasta. If vegan was good enough for the Foo Fighters, it most certainly would have impressed the judges that day.
But she settled for tossing scallops into a mint risotto.
This was double elimination night, so Carla, Melissa, and Eugene were put on the front line and Carla was rescued for another week. Saved by the scallop? Nah, she could have shined otherwise.
