STAGE TUBE: Another Chef Eliminated from Bravo's TOP CHEF: TEXAS

On last night's episode of Bravo's TOP CHEF TEXAS, chef Heather Terhune was eliminated from the competition. On the show, the chefs had a chance to reflect and pay homage to the person who taught them how to cook by making a "tribute dish" in their honor.

This week's Quickfire reached out to its fans via Twitter, as the chefs had to follow instructions tweeted live by fans and create a dish based on what they want the chefs to do. Whenever Tom saw an idea he liked, he called it out in the room. No matter which direction the chefs thought they were taking their dish, they had to switch it up based on the latest tweet. Legendary singer and cookbook author Patti Labelle guest judged, along with Emeril Lagasse, head judge Tom Colicchio, and host Padma Lakshmi.

For the first-time ever, season nine of TOP CHEF boasted a record 29 chefs - almost double the amount of chefs in season's past. Only 16 went on to compete across the Lone Star State - in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. In what will prove to be the most challenging season yet, some of the biggest names in food, music, and entertainment including Charlize Theron, Pee-wee Herman, Cat Cora, John Besh, Tim Love, Patti LaBelle will be featured this season on Top Chef: Texas. Returning to the Judges' Table is host Padma Lakshmi and head judge, chef Tom Colicchio, alongside judges Gail Simmons and new this season, famed chef and restaurateur Emeril Lagasse and critically-acclaimed chef Hugh Acheson.
