Ep 7. Tailgating

In Top Chef: Masters season 2 episode 7, titled "Tailgating," the chefs are tasked with creating the ultimate tailgating feast for a group of hungry football fans. But instead of traditional game-day fare like burgers and hot dogs, they must incorporate a secret ingredient into their dishes: beer.

Each chef must select a different type of beer to feature prominently in their dish, whether it be a crisp lager or a hoppy IPA. They also have access to a variety of other ingredients, from meats and seafood to fruits and vegetables, to create a dish that is both delicious and inventive.

The chefs face some challenges along the way, including a limited amount of time to prepare their dishes and a shopping trip that is hindered by a surprise rainstorm. But they persevere and work tirelessly to deliver their best creations to the judges.

The judges, including celebrity chef and restaurateur Art Smith and food critic Gael Greene, are blown away by the caliber of dishes presented. They sample a range of mouth-watering creations, from beer-braised short ribs to beer-battered shrimp to beer-infused ice cream.

As always, there are some standout dishes and some chefs who struggle to impress. But in the end, only one chef will be named the winner and advance to the next round of the competition.

Overall, Top Chef: Masters season 2 episode 7 is a fun and exciting installment of the show, with a unique twist on the classic tailgating theme and some truly impressive culinary creations. It's a must-watch for any foodie or Top Chef fan.
