Top Chef Contestants Challenged to Make Dessert Sans Sugar

It's been more than two weeks since we've had a new episode of Top Chef (any of you going through the stages of withdrawal yet?). Thankfully, the wait will be over next Wednesday, when the show will return after the holiday break. If you remember, in the last episode, the chef'testants cooked for a faux holiday party, hosted by the lovely Natasha Richardson. However, the judges rated their appetizers as subpar across the board, and so, in an act of holiday charity, they determined that they weren't going to eliminate anyone that week.

That act of compassion won't be repeated this week though, and one of the chefs is going to be out faster that Padma can say, "Pack your knives." As you can see in the clip above, the Quick Fire is a dessert challenge in which they have to make a sweet treat minus the sugar. After that, they'll be judged blind, so the food will have to speak for itself. Who do you think waving good-bye this time around?
