This week's quickfire challenge consists of our cheftestants inventing their own gourmet hamburger. They have 1/2 hour in which to accomplish this task. The judge, celebrity chef Daniel Boulud, created the DB Burger, or a ground sirloin with a filling of boned short ribs braised in red wine, foie gras, black truffle and a mirepoix of root vegetables. The homemade bun is topped with toasted parmesan and layered with fresh horseradish mayonnaise, tomato confit, fresh tomato and frisée lettuce.
CJ won the quickfire with a scallop mouse and shrimp burger, which Daniel Boulud described as "beautiful."

once again, Top Chef refuses to cater to the vegetarians in the house.
i just want one crummy vegetarian challenge! it could be a quickfire, i wouldn't care!
That DB burger might be expensive but it looks and sounds awful. I don't get it.
that was a lot to do in a half hour. . . that lettuce-leaf bun was, um . . . pretty ridiculous.
Who knew mouse would go so well with scallop and shrimp?
