La Petite Grocery's cheftestapants Justin Devillier on the demands of improvising a recipe on the spot for Top Chef challenges: "We actually do that in the restaurant. We spend a lot of effort on trying to support smaller purveyors. A lot of times, those farmers don't have the ability to consistently produce the same thing. So we get something at 3 p.m. and have to do something with it and be ready by 5 p.m." [Gambit]
