Top Chef: Devin gets the chop
Devin Hogan, Head Chef and Owner at SMAK Delicatessen and Restaurant in Cape Town, last night bowed out of Top Chef South Africa in the penultimate episode of the series.
The SABC 3 reality series will come to an end next week with two chefs that will take part in the grand finale.
The pressure was on from the get-go when the remaining three cheftestants went straight into an Elimination Challenge.
Judges, Neill Anthony, Lesego Semenya, Lorna Maseko and guest judge, Yudhika Sujanani asked them to each prepare a sweet sensation which included three different types of desserts.
Tension mounted as Ayabonga and Annemarie started plating while Devin was still scrambling to temper chocolate to decorate his chocolate sponge cake.

Tripped up the clock he served a rather sad looking cake to the judges. But it wasn't just his cake that was a letdown for the judges.
Devin's panna cotta garnish was criticised for being strangely salty and his banoffee slices failed to impress.
Devin admitted that he should've done more to cook his way into the final.
He said he was sad to leave the show, but had an amazing experience that can never be taken away from him.
