In 2008, Madonna had four minutes to save the world. On this week s episode of
Top Chef Canada Season 9, the remaining five chefs had just fourteen minutes to cook a delicious dish–and serve it to Mark McEwan.
The pressure!
From a fast-paced Quickfire Challenge to a tennis match-themed Elimination, here s how the final five competitors measure up after episode seven.

Tonight, that chef is Emily Butcher and she is sounding fairly unsure of herself. “I’m trying to stay focused and keep a clear head and be able to execute the way I do back home,” she says in a diary session.
It’s no surprise that during a reality competition series like this, you can easily get in your head. Yet even when the outcome isn’t the best, Emily has some of the most pleasant sound bites.
