Wednesday's episode of Top Chef begins with the chefs meeting with Emeril Lagasse and Eddie Huang, Chef and Co-Owner of BaoHaus in NY. The chefs are informed that they will not face a Quickfire Challenge this week, but instead will be divided into groups of five for the Elimination Challenge. Each group must create their version of a Vietnamese menu while incorporating shrimp into at least one dish.
Emeril and Eddie take the chefs to visit several different Vietnamese locations such as: a Vietnamese bakery, a Shrimp Boat, and Kim Anhs Noddle Shop, where they taste a variety of Vietnamese food for inspiration.
Next, they visit the Hong Kong Market and are given a budget of $200 and 30 minutes to shop.
