Who went home on the premiere of Top Chef: Kentucky?
Quickfire challenge: The chefs were split into 5 teams of 3 and were given only two minutes to prep their ingredients and then 20 minutes to cook one dish as a team. The winning team won tickets to the 145th Kentucky Derby.

Pablo, Sara, and Justin
Elimination challenge: The teams from the quickfire stayed intact, but for the elimination challenge, they would be competing against each other to be up for the win, be safe, or be up for elimination.
