‘Top Chef’ Season 16, Episode 11: ‘The Greatest’ Recap | Eater

"The center dedicated to the famed boxer hosted a charity gala where chefs had to craft dishes inspired by his greatest fights; his daughter served as a guest judge and chefs presented courses tied to specific bouts. Judges singled out a salmon plated with Kentucky "thunder and lightning" and especially praised a chef’s Ghanaian fufu dumplings with Congolese red sauce as the winning, emotionally meaningful dish, while critiques focused on weak thematic links, reliance on bottle sauces, and lack of wow factor for some plates—one chef was eliminated after the service." - Greg Morabito
