Heston Week: Offsite Challenge - Pub Food 2014
6.9 8 Amy, Brent, Emelia, Jamie and Laura faced off in a service challenge. They will cook pub food dishes to be served to 120 guests at The Hotel Albion in Port Melbourne, Victoria. Each gets to pick one of the five different classic pub dishes: surf 'n' turf, parma, pasta, roast of the day and fish of the day. Amy, after winning the advantage, gets to pick the dish first and choose surf 'n' turf. Brent picked Parma, Laura choose the pasta, Emelia's pick was the roast and Jamie had the fish dish. Amy's Pork Belly with Seared Scallops beat Emelia's Roasted Spatchcock with Roasted Potatoes, Lentils and Madeira jus for the second win and the advantage. During the challenge, Laura struggled with the amount of pasta to be served to the customers as her Pappardelle with Mushroom Ragu was served with less pasta and lack of execution while Brent dropped his sides for the entrée and his Chicken Parmigiania with Fennel Salad did not impress the judges. Those missteps were enough to put them in the bottom two for the size inconsistencies in their dishes however, Laura's pasta skills in the dish was enough to salvage the error and Brent was sent to elimination in his eleventh time.
