MasterChef: The Professionals (2008)

Season 2: Episode 8

Four chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of the watching Monica Galetti and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of shucking three oysters and a palate test of making an omelette of their choice. The remaining three professionals then face two more gruelling tests for an expectant Michel and Gregg. First, they must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredient of quail, then they must recreate two classic dishes of paella and Portugese custard tarts.
