Top Chef fans?

Question

In particular, for those of you who watched the holiday special...What would your three dishes have been?

After a few days of thinking about it (and yes, I know, they only had a few minutes), I have decided that mine would have been based on a journey through the holiday season:

First Course - Thanksgiving
Turkey roulade, with a stuffing of sourdough bread, artichoke hearts and pistachios, served with a butternut squash waldorf salad.

Second Course - Christmas
Garlic and horseradish encrusted filet mignons (a twist on prime rib, really), served with a potato and brussels sprout gratin (with a nice, bright green ribbon of brussels sprouts visible in the gratin).

Third Course - New Years' Eve
Cioppino served alongside a spinach and winter-citrus salad.

And if I had to do a fourth course, it would have been a play on Valentine's Day. Strawberry puree and champagne spritzer, served in a chocolate-rimmed glass.

I'd love to hear what you'd have made!

I wish I was a good enough cook to think of awesome ideas such as the chefs on the show. Your ideas sound pretty tasty.
I love to watch this show I hope there will be more Top Chef
seasons. My favorite chefs were Tre and the girl (can't think of her name now) who was one of the finalist from the season when Hung won.
