Chef Whitney Otawka is the latest Chef to be elimiated from the current season of Bravo TV's TOP CHEF TEXAS. In the Elimination Challenge of last night's episode, the chefs had to create their best steak dish for the annual Cattle Baron's Ball. They put out a progressive four-course beef menu for 200-seated guests and had to work together to plate every last dish before 50 waiters enter to pick-up the plates. 

In the latest season of TOP CHEF TEXAS, only 16 went on to compete across the Lone Star State - in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio. In what will prove to be the most challenging season yet, some of the biggest names in food, music, and entertainment including Charlize Theron, Pee-Wee Herman, Cat Cora, John Besh, Tim Love, Patti LaBelle will be featured this season on Top Chef: Texas. Returning to the Judges' Table is host Padma Lakshmi and head judge, chef Tom Colicchio, alongside judges Gail Simmons and new this season, famed chef and restaurateur Emeril Lagasse and critically-acclaimed chef Hugh Acheson.
