TOP CHEF MEXICO Faces the Darkness Tonight on NBC UNIVERSO

NBC UNIVERSO, the modern entertainment and sports cable channel for Latinos presents the ninth episode of "Top Chef Mexico," today, April 14 at 9PM ET/8C.

Today's episode features a Quick-fire challenge with yet another twist - the chefs must cook a dish using everything but the most essential, their knives. The competition boils down to six chefs, after Chef Fernando Martinez's elimination last week.

This week, in the elimination challenge the chefs learn they have to recreate a dish made by the distinguished chef and owner of restaurant Quintonil, listed as 6th on Latin America's Best Restaurant list and 35th on the World's Best Restaurant list, Jorge Vallejo. However, in typical TOP CHEF fashion, they must put their senses of taste and smell to the test as they are only allowed a couple of minutes to experience the dish in complete darkness. Once they re-emerge from the dark, the chefs are forced to complete the dish based purely on the tastes and smells they could gather. The challenge culminates in a sudden death match, where anyone can win and no one is safe.
