This is probably my new favorite TV show! Have you seen it? If you haven't, I will quickly recap what has happened so you can be prepared for the next episode tomorrow.
Here are the contestants from the start of the show. They all think they have what it takes. Do they? Only one will win? Which one? That is the big question that America must be asking right now. I sure know that I am. Starting with...
Over the coarse of this season of America's Next Great Restaurant, the contestants have had to do an assortment of different things. All their efforts are in striving for the prize. The prize? Good question. The winner will get three restaurants in three of America's largest cities.
First they had to come up with their idea. What was their restaurant going to be called? What is there slogan and logo going to be? Menu? Who was going to be their chef. This ended up being a hot topic with some contestants as the weeks went on. Did the contestant have what it takes to fire a chef if they just can't make anything work. Some were thinking too much about not hurting their chef's feelings. They thought it would work out. What a mistake. That caused some problems with the investors. The investors? Who? Well...
Bobby Flay: restaurateur with a couple cooking shows
Lorena Garcia: restaurateur and executive chef
Curtis Stone: famous chef also on TV shows
These four investors will invest in the business that they choose as the winner. I guess that is why they are called "The Investors".
Last weeks was probably one of my favorites yet. Each contestant had to design their uniform and participate in a photo shoot. The food challenge was "Investor's Choice". The investors could pick anything of a contestants menu and ask them to make it a certain way. It was to help each contestant define their idea a little more.
The photo shoot was great. Some of the uniforms were better than others. All the restaurants are supposed to be somewhat healthy and somewhat fast-foodish.
Sandy (from Sinners and Saints) was in the bottom three. 
Jamawn (from Soul Daddy) picked a more formal uniform, but he was safe. 
Sudhir (from Spice Coast) is doing Indian food. 
Stephenie (from Harvest Sol) is doing nutritious foods.
Joey (from Saucy Balls) makes all kinds of meat balls. He was in the final three last week.
Greg and Krystal (the Grill'billies) was probably my favorite outfit. They also had the best food--Cherry Coke Burgers (or something). 
Eric--Meltworks--was actually the contestant to get kicked off. He had this idea of a grilled cheese shop for so long that he was not exactly very open to suggestions.
The one thing I wish is that I could taste some of this food. Hope you tune in tomorrow night! You can catch up on all the past episodes and see pictures like these on NBC.com.
What would your restaurant be like if you had one?
