Luciana gets eliminated on this week's episode of Top Chef

Tonight's episode of Top Chef saw host Padma Lakshmi introduce contestants to interesting challenges. For the Quickfire challenge, the chefs had to make two versions of the British biscuit - a savory and sweet one. They also competed in three rounds of elimination challenge, which pushed them to their limits.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled, Spurred Lines, reads:

"The chefs are tasked with creating a beloved English classic: the biscuit; the chefs head to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a football-themed team challenge, where the teams that succeed are safe while the rest are relegated and must compete again."

Luciana did well in Quickfire and made biscuits that had the right kind of crisps. Although she didn't win immunity, she was one of the top contenders for the same. For the elimination challenge, the judges divided the chefs into three teams.

Luciana was paired up with fellow Top Chef contestants Begoña and Gabri. They battled it out in a total of three rounds and by the end of the challenge, the three chefs placed last. They had to compete against each other for the final battle.

The Top Chef contestant presented her scallop carpaccio to the judges. While her cooking was just right, it didn't highlight the flavor of the peas enough. She was ultimately eliminated from the competition.
