America's Culinary Cup: Halfway Heat

0:00On April 9th, America's culinary cup, hosted by Padma Lakshmi, hit its halfway mark tonight with the final eight chefs facing off. They had to whip up two desserts, one heavenly and one devilish, using a forbidden ingredient their rivals picked to trip them up. Then the real drama dropped with a voting twist. Each chef had to pick who they thought was most likely to win the whole thing and who was headed for the exit. Beverly Kim came out on top as the favorite and it overwhelmed her. She teared up, opening up about battling her whole life for that kind of respect in the kitchen world. Chris Morgan drew the short straw as the least likely to take it, and he owned the disappointment. He mentioned scraping the bottom a few times already this season. Tensions are boiling now, setting the stage for even wilder challenges as these chefs pushed toward the crown.
