In this Top Chef All Stars LA episode, the chefs could go from highs to lows in a matter of two challenges. Can you really bottle success?

For chefs, communication helps a kitchen function. In Top Chef All Stars LA, a game of telephone could have a bigger outcome than just winning a Quickfire Challenge. Do you want to tell your spouse that they messed up your Top Chef chances?

According to Bravo, this week’s Top Chef All Stars LA episode, “Bring Your Loved One to Work,” features the following:

"In the Quickfire, it’s a true test of communication as the chefs play a game of telephone with their loved ones as they try to reproduce the dish their family member is currently eating at a nearby restaurant. Then, the chefs are tasked with creating a signature product that they will bottle, use on a dish and sell at a food festival. They may get help from their visiting loved ones, but for one chef, the help won’t save them from being sent home. Celebrity Chef Nancy Silverton is the guest judge joining Tom, Padma and Gail."

The Quickfire Challenge could be quite humorous. While many of the chefs’ loved ones might know some dishes, their ability to describe those dishes to the chefs might not be the clearest. Even though everyone is wanting a perfect dish, fans might want to see a disaster. Isn’t the fail in these challenges more amusing?

For the Elimination Challenge, this idea is somewhat perplexing. While many chefs want to become that household name, creating a signature product is quite difficult. Even on the small scale, food festival level, this idea is quite challenging.

If you have been watching this season, Kevin might have an advantage in this Elimination Challenge. Remember how the judges raved about this apple butter? Could that item make a comeback in this challenge? Everyone will have to watch to find out.
