Dale quotes from Top Chef

Hung went all over the place. He wanted to go for seven different textures and he really made white chocolate cauliflower foam. And I think that's all I'll say about that.

I can just feel the anger in the entire group just like, "You've got to be kidding me. I hate you so much right now, but I want to be you right now!"

[about Hung's performance in the Quickfire] He destroys those chickens. And even Tom's standing there, like "You've got to be kidding me!"

The other team kinda seemed like the Dream Team, and we're like, the Bad News Bears. And the fact that we kicked their ass really has us going.

Everyone loves a fried egg sandwich. And in my world, everything is breakfast.

I think right now, Casey's the one to beat...and it is killing Hung!

Where's Casey? Oh, there she is. I'm like, "Mom? MOM?"

Before I started this competition, I had one of the top 20 restaurants in the country in my hands. It closed because the owner retired. And literally, I had my dream job. It slipped through my fingers, and I fell apart. Before the first Quickfire here, I hadn't cooked in a year and a half. I entered this competition to find myself again. I have been reborn. I have found my flavor. And I think today's Elimination challenge dish was a definite difference from what I have shown in this competition before. And now I'm a chef again.

I really don't know that much about cowboys. I mean, I've slept with a few, but...[laughs]...that's about it.

[about Todd English, his assigned sous chef] I know you have more restaurants than you can count, but chop my garlic now.

[to his lobsters] Hi, you guys!

Beauty's only a light switch away.

[about his montage] I've always wanted a montage.
