Carla has often shown herself to be the calm, cool professional and her zen-like composure stood her in good stead for this week's episode. After seriously cutting her finger during the Elimination Challenge, Carla had her finger bandaged up and she kept on cooking. Good thing too, because her African ground nut soup with baked sweet potatoes, adzuki beans, and peanuts not only helped Team Orange clinch the win, but it was also deemed the best dish of the evening.
This season of Top Chef is super-charged with highly vocal, dominating chefs, but Carla finds a way to quietly rise to top. It will be interesting to see if her cool demeanor helps or hurts her as the competition heats up.

Carla all the way! She cooks real food for real people and does it with class and professionalism.
And if you've noticed, whenever someone else wins something, she is always first to applaud him or her, and the applause is obviously sincere.
Carla is a fantastic role model for how women can succeed and be kind and balanced. Hooray!
I was so disappointed in how Carla stumbled in her season's finale. I was happy to see her begin her rise again in this All-Star season. It's similar to last time, where she just starts to sneak up on the other competitors, winning a challenge here and there. Pretty soon, she'll have a long winning streak and a ticket to the finals.
I'm so glad Carla won this week. She stood up for her dish, she followed her instincts and she scored big time. I predict she will be in the finals with Richard.
I absolutely love Carla and her soup sounded delicious. Can we get the recipe?
Anonymous 1:27pm - we'll have the recipe posted here on Saturday, but you can also find it on the Bravo Web site.
