Kristen Kish: "For your elimination challenge, we want you to create a dish that is directly plated on a tabletop. Instead of giving us one great plate of food, give us one great table of food. Your creation can be sweet or savory as long as it all fits one tabletop. You'll be serving an intimate table of Gale, Tom, myself, and two Michelin starred chef and owner of Ever restaurant, Curtis Duffy."
