As Wimbledon is to the pro tennis calendar, and the Masters is to the PGA, Restaurant Wars is to Top Chef.

It’s the signature event of the season, after which things start to get really serious as the field of chefs is whittled down on the last stretch to the finale.

They also dive into the controversy that erupted over Danny’s winning scallop chou farci from a few weeks back.
