['Top Chef: DC' - 'Season Finale Part 1: The Final Four']

We're not in Kansas anymore, Foodies. For the first time in 'Top Chef' history, the cheftestants found themselves in a foreign land for the finale, and the remaining four -- Kevin, Kelly, Ed and Angelo -- couldn't seem less at home than they did in Singapore's "Hawker" district, which was pretty much a giant street fair chock full with different food booths.

Looking sweaty, chubby and out of place (yes, even you Angelo, even though you purported to have spent "a lot of time in Asia"), the chefs were charged with creating their own version of street food using only a wok for the final Quickfire Challenge.

"Oooph. I'm in trouble," admitted Kevin: "I don't wok." Bummer for you Kev, the winner gets immunity.

So, while host Padma Lakshmi (who, of course, looked fresh as a daisy and not the least bit jet-lagged) and resident expert, Seetoh, sipped beer out of frosty mugs, the chefs scrambled to decipher the Cantonese-labeled ingredients and churn out a yummy dish.

"My biggest goal is to kick Angelo's ass," said Ed, "but Angelo does very, very well with the Asian thing and, go figure, we're in Singapore."

But, whaddayaknow? Ed, a self-professed "weekend wok-er," did kick Angelo's ass, thus securing his berth in the finale in the process. "This sucks," summed up the defeated Angelo. Oh yeah? Not as much as cooking as a team for the Elimination Challenge does. But that's the hitch. And one more thing: 'Food & Wine' magazine's editrix, Dana Cowin, will be hosting the affair for 80 guests, and she "wants the menu to celebrate Singapore's multi-cultural cuisine."

What better way to celebrate the locale's fare than to head out to a large open-air market to shop for the shindig? Right down to the abacus/cash register, it's abundantly apparent that this ain't your neighborhood Whole Foods.

While lots of prepping and cooking was going down, the best part was watching Ed trying to mess with Angelo's head at every turn: Taunting and teasing, and lording his immunity over him. "I'm definitely trying to chop Angelo down," he said, "I'm screwing with his head. Get this guy out of the equation."

Enter Tom Colicchio, who was there to screw with all of their heads. "This is a party for 'Food & Wine' magazine, you guys only have four dishes? Do you think that's enough?" he asked. Evidently it wasn't, and so the chefs were suddenly tasked with creating two each. But, what's this? Ed had secretly been planning to cook two the whole time? Ruh-ro. His teammates were more than a little ticked off.

"I don't even know if Superman could cook this fast," a perplexed Angelo said as Kelly grappled with opening a can of tomatoes with a can opener that -- get this -- "doesn't open asian cans." (You can't make this stuff up, folks.) "This is all news to us," Angelo fumed, "Ed had already taken the lead on making another dish. I'm angry."

All's fair in love and Elimination Challenges, bud: Get over it.

Service began at a much less formal venue than usual, and Gail Simmons was back among the judges for the first time in a while. And, for the second time in as many weeks, we were treated to Dana Cowin's teeth scraping her fork. Someone call Peggy Post: Stat!

An al fresco Judges' Table ensued with the usually gruff Colicchio handing out compliments freely. "Everything we had was really good tonight," he said. "Overall, I thought this was probably the best food we had all season."

Wow. Flattery will get you everywhere, Chef. But, with an "extraordinarily big decision to make," Padma dismissed the final four.

"I think my tour is up," Kelly said while they waited for the results. But, Angelo, doing his best Bogey impression, retorted with: "This one's on me, honey."

In the end, as Angelo fought back mega waterworks, big Ed won the challenge (immunity, shmimmunity) and Kelly's tour was, in fact, up.

"I really wanted to experience what it was like to compete at the highest level," she said. "And, I did."
