Reuel decides to cook a halibut. The man's a perfectionist and is on the show to honor his dad. Albeit the protein was slightly overcooked and he couldn't pick a plate to present his food in, Reuel was highly praised for the taste of his dish.
Pyet creates a magical butter-poached lobster and almost effortlessly glides to her spot as one of the semifinalists. She was pretty adamant to step outside of her comfort zone, and obviously, she delivered!
