- Now, you're about to be tested on your team's ability
to work together and be in sync,
just like you've witnessed.
Each team will be assigned to cook a creative, cohesive menu.
Your menu must feature five courses--
two hot appetizers, one shellfish, one meat,
and three entrées, one white meat,
one red meat, one fish.
Get cracking on these menus, but get creative.
Off you go. - Yes, Chef.
- Good luck.
Let's go.
- We're head chefs,
and I'm hoping that we can create an ambitious menu.
But dealing with a bunch of strong-headed women
is not always the easiest.
- Fish app--I'm thinking I want to do, like,
prawn and scallop together.
- Ooh, I love that.
- Who's doing the fish entrée?
- Me--salmon with, like, a rhubarb sauce.
- I wanted to do, like, a deconstructed chicken, chicken
and dumpling, make a gnocchi.
- I have the seafood appetizer.
- Seared scallops.
- I'm going to do a rack of lamb,
roasted, and do a tomato broth, Italian chimichurri.
- The chimichurri and the pickled eggplant
are throwing me off.
It's just too acidic.
- I mean, I can pick apart your dish too.
I mean--
- I'm not picking it apart, I'm just giving you advice.
- No, we're not doing that. Guys, we're not doing that.
We're coming up with a cohesive menu.

doesn't mean that I don't know what I'm doing.

Your 45 minutes start now.

- Let's keep talking to each other.
If you need help, ask for it.
- That's it.
- So I'm going to make dumpling dough too,
but I'm going to stuff them right away, Whit.
- Brittany, you can't make dough.
You got to go with the premade dough.
- Whit seems concerned about making a dough from scratch.
But the first [bleep] challenge,
I made dough in three minutes after I suffered from a cut.
[bleep], Chef, I'm bleeding.
I need a medic, like, now. - OK.
- The flavor is absolutely delicious.
It's a very strong four.
Congratulations, both of you. - Thank you, Chef.
- Well done.
- So I think I can make [bleep] dumplings in 45 minutes.
- Amanda, what are you on?
- I'm going to make my eggplant crust, Chef.
- But you're in charge of the lamb?
- Yes, Chef. - Gotcha.
- We have a dish in Trinidad called baigan choka,
which is like roasted eggplant,
and it's one of my favorite things.
It makes sense to me, especially with lamb.
- Red Team, talk to each other.
Express what we're doing.
Come on.
- Yes, Chef.
- Brandon, you're working on garlic, right?
- Yes, it's working right now.
- All right, I got my puree working.
I'm going to work on succotash next.
- Today's challenge, it's all about rhythm,
you know, being in sync with your kitchen--
- Starting for the base for my sticky pepper sauce
for my wings.
- and being in constant communication, and jiving.
We're roasting halibut.
It goes in the sauce.
All of the garnish goes around, and that's it.
Time's a little tough, but I think we can
blow Chef Ramsay's socks off.
Sauce vierge in the works.
- Ann Marie... - What's up?
- Are you seasoning your fennel with anything?
- Yeah, I have salt, garlic, shallots, and put
some herbs in it really quick.

I said this [bleep].
It was a stupid decision to make
that dough from scratch, especially
when you can't finish it.

that were there for dumplings.
We could have had these stuffed already, man.
Stupid decisions.

I'm proud of her.

This is my wheelhouse.
I think our fennel is good to go as well.
I'm kind of like an octopus in the kitchen.
I got my eight arms spread out.
I'm working eight different things at the same time.

This is really where Chef Ramsay can see me shine.
- Last 10 minutes, Red Team. Let's go.

I definitely pride myself on being very calm, cool,
collected under pressure. - Brandon.

Make sure it's balanced.
The acid needs to balance.
- But Lulu is leaving zero open air for communication.

- Brandon, finish the escabeche.
- Say it again.

Don't pull it if it's not done.
It can cook down to the wire. - Not done.
