Beyond Reality - Top Chef Miami 9/26/07

Its the final four chefs remaining - Dale, Brian, Casey & Hung
The chefs arrive in Aspen Snowmass and enjoy a hot air balloon ride complete with champagne.
Quickfire challenge
Guest chef/judge Eric Ripert - One of the best seafood chefs in the world - has a restaurant in NYC
Aspen is the trout fishing mecca
The chefs have 20 minutes a pan, a trout, a campstove and some basic ingredients to create an awesome entree
The conditions were rough - Brian dumped his on the ground and had to start over
Hung finished early and forgot the lemon
Dale used too much cayenne
Casey's was perfect - it had a soul
Casey won and was the only one who would be able to use her special ingredients from home.
Elimination challenge - takes place at Moon Run Ranch - Each chef must create an entree for 45 hungry cowboys & girls
They have three hours and the protein they will be using is free range elk
Everyone chose elk loin except for Brian who chose elk shank
Dale's tart didn't work out which forced him to be very creative at the last minute
The judges loved his plan B and Dale won
Brian used too many flavors 
Casey's meat was way undercooked
Hung just didn't embody his food
Brian was eliminated
Dale's reward was basically a cooking date with Eric Ripert at the food and wine weekend - he would also be doing a demo with him there
