Radhika Loses 'Restaurant Wars' But Still Cooks for Chicago Restaurant

This week's Top Chef was everyone's favorite episode: Restaurant Wars. As is the case in previous seasons, Restaurant Wars is the first episode in which no chef'testants are given immunity in the elimination challenge, and even the favorites can definitely go home.

Once again this year, we saw one of our top picks--Chi-town's cutie chef Radhika--asked to pack her knives and leave. While the judges' decision seemed fair (she clearly had no idea how to run a restaurant), we're still intrigued by her spicy global cuisine, and would be more than happy to eat at a restaurant where she's not running the front-of-house.

So we're definitely way excited to check out the fusion-y cuisine Radhika serves up at Between Boutique Café & Lounge next time we're in Chicago. The inventive dishes include a lobster trifecta (curried lobster bisque, macademia crusted lobster cakes, and lobster salad); crepes stuffed with manchego cheese, potatoes, brown butter, coconut and chutney; and butter-braised corn soup with bacon, cilantro, and truffle.

Now that sounds like the kind of Top Chef-winning food we wish we had seen more of from Radhika on the show. Oh well, she's running the kitchen at Between, not the dining room, so it's definitely on the agenda.

Anyone been yet? Holler back.

    Thank you

    Before reading your post I really didn't think Radhika was cute. You calling her cute compelled me, however, to do a google image search, and I like what I see. Anyways, I liked Radhika as a chef, just not a cheftestant. She isn't cool enough to handle the Top Chef pressure cooker.
