‘Top Chef’ - Time to pick a winner

You survived Richard’s salmon sous vide, the Lisa-Dale fights and Spike’s hat and made it through to tonight’s finale.

Now, it’s time to make the call. Who takes the title of ‘Top Chef’ for season four?

The candidates:

Richard - The molecular gastronomist. Richard combines new techniques with classic French style. Richard won 3 QuickFires, 4 Elimination Challenges and finished in the bottom group just once.

Stephanie - The level-headed generalist. Stephanie’s strengths are creativity and adaptability. She won 2 QuickFires, 3 ECs and finished in the top group a season-leading 9 times.

Lisa - The cranky Asian specialist. Lisa made as big an impression with her nasty disposition as with her food. She backed into the finale by winning no QuickFires, 1 EC and finishing in the bottom group 7 times.
