There weren't only problems in the kitchen, but problems on the floor as Laurine failed the rest of her team at front-of-house. Were the problems in the back caused by the problems in the front? Who knows! All we know is this restaurant found their mission ... impossible.Menu

Sure they all have background in Asian cooking, and the assistance of questionably gone-too-soon Jennifer, but when you have Anthony Bourdain judging your Laksa, you better hope it doesn't taste like "wood chips." -

Despite the fact that the chefs were given two episodes to make their restaurants work, in one of the biggest upsets in Top Chef history, Tre Wilcox was sent home. Tom said, "Tre was the chef. The buck stops with him. He should've pushed CJ. I don't think he tried the lobster -- he dumped it on CJ and said it was his deal." -
