'Top Chef: Texas': Pee-wee Herman's food adventure

We never thought we would see a cooking competition show featuring Pee-wee Herman, but "Top Chef: Texas" decided to prove us wrong Wednesday night -- and it ended up working.

Basically, what happened was that the remaining five contestants had to try and cook a series of dishes for the comic character -- beginning with a pancake-themed quickfire (which Ed won) and ending with a competition involving traveling around San Antonio on Pee-wee's trademark bikes in order to make the perfect lunch dish. There was another twist thrown in here for good measure -- the chefs had to cook in some random kitches across the city.

We are at the stage of the competition where tiny mistakes can send people home, and the two biggest mistakes made seemed to be Ed undercooking his chicken and Sarah not seasoning her salad. Surprisingly, though, the judges opted to send someone home in Greyson who we actually thought didn't do too much wrong outside of serving an enormous piece of chicken.

The good news for Greyson is that she could jump right back into the game next week. The finale of "Last Chance Kitchen" is happening online, and the chefs are now aware that an old friend will be joining them.

Who are you rooting for to win?
