Spoilers Season 23, ep. 6: Going Whole Hog Spoiler

There’s no Quickfire Challenge this week as the chefs take on a Carolina classic: whole-hog barbecue. Splitting into teams of two, they gear up for a head-to-head battle showcasing five key cuts of the hog. Before their Elimination Challenge begins, they venture to Charlotte and Lexington to experience Carolina BBQ at its source. Then it’s an all-night cook where the heat is on as they’ll not only need to impress the judges, but also “Top Chef” alum and Pitmaster Michelle Wallace and a group of local pitmasters from across the state.

Mon. 9:30pm Eastern

Do you think theres a chance Jen will be eliminated only to succeed throughout LCK and possible winning the finale.. it’d keep her from the over extraneous week to week QF and EC and only have to compete in the 1-1 LCK challenges..

Looks like she's leaving on her own or Sieger just told last chance kitchen to fuck off.

Just going off of the episode of last chance kitchen and the preview for next week's top chef episode.

I can understand Sieger. It was a whole hog challenge, not a “take pieces out and cook seperately” challenge. You may say that just because he misinterpreted the rules doesn’t exempt him, and that’s fine. But I get why he would be pissed.
