Top Chef: Kentucky<\/em>, the 16th season of the Bravo reality series, is about halfway through the competition\u2026and the frontrunner was sent home.<\/p>\n

Nini Nguyen<\/strong>, the contestant with the most wins (two), was sent home during the two-part Restaurant Wars challenge. She made her way to Last Chance Kitchen<\/em> where she was bested by season 15 contestant Brother Luck<\/strong> and he returned to the competition in week six.<\/p>\n

For weeks it looked like Nini was the one to beat. Now? It’s anybody’s game.<\/p>\n

Nancy Silverton<\/strong> and Dario\u00a0Cecchini<\/strong> show the remaining chefs how to break down a whole cow and then they must cook with it and locally-sourced Kentucky ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
