Nate Appleman was cocky 'til the end. This week, the competitors had to cook a five-course Indian feast. At one point, Appleman crowed: "I'm a white boy who's never cooked Indian before and I just cooked five Indian dishes and...

Nate Appleman is clearly an amazing chef. He's also a liar. Hey, that's his word. He arrived before the judges with his Americanized spin on an Asian dish -- he took pot roast and mashed potatoes and made it with...
