1
00:00:01,502 --> 00:00:02,501
Gordon: Previously
on "masterchef junior"...
2
00:00:02,503 --> 00:00:04,545
- The magic castle!
- We're here!
3
00:00:04,547 --> 00:00:06,338
You will be split up
into two teams
4
00:00:06,424 --> 00:00:09,049
And you will each have to feed
all of the magicians.
5
00:00:09,135 --> 00:00:11,176
- What?
- No!
6
00:00:11,262 --> 00:00:13,512
- Get them going, let's go!
- Whoo!
7
00:00:13,556 --> 00:00:15,180
- I just need the carrots.
- Gordon: How long
for the carrots?
8
00:00:15,182 --> 00:00:17,641
- Ten minutes.
- Right, alfred, wake up.
Let's go.
9
00:00:17,727 --> 00:00:19,893
Lilo's just standing there.
She has to get involved.
10
00:00:19,937 --> 00:00:21,729
- How's the food tasting?
- Mine is raw.
11
00:00:21,772 --> 00:00:23,313
Oh, my goodness.
You're not joking.
12
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:26,191
All these filets are on me.
13
00:00:26,277 --> 00:00:29,236
The winning team is...
14
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,156
- The blue team!
- Yeah!
15
00:00:32,199 --> 00:00:36,660
Red team, the person
going home is miles.
16
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:42,416
- Bye, miles.
- Good boy.
Take care, bud.
17
00:00:42,418 --> 00:00:43,459
Tonight...
18
00:00:43,502 --> 00:00:45,669
Welcome to your
nightmare challenge.
19
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:47,629
- What?
- Lift!
20
00:00:47,631 --> 00:00:50,174
- Ooh!
- Gross!
21
00:00:50,176 --> 00:00:51,425
You have to turn
the ingredients you hate
22
00:00:51,427 --> 00:00:54,386
Into something delicious
on a plate.
23
00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:55,929
I hate tomatoes!
24
00:00:56,015 --> 00:00:59,183
- They call it to-mah-toes.
- Okay, to-mah-toes.
25
00:00:59,185 --> 00:01:03,312
- Go, go, go, go!
- But as the top seven battle
to face their fears...
26
00:01:03,355 --> 00:01:04,897
Did you taste as you went along?
27
00:01:04,940 --> 00:01:07,024
- I'm not gonna eat it.
- Disgusting.
28
00:01:07,109 --> 00:01:09,401
- Let me get a barf bag
just in case.
- ( imitating retching )
29
00:01:09,445 --> 00:01:11,862
...One young cook
will be sent home
in a shocking upset.
30
00:01:11,864 --> 00:01:14,281
- ( gags )
- it would have been the star
dish of this evening.
31
00:01:14,283 --> 00:01:15,365
Gordon: What a shame.
32
00:01:25,461 --> 00:01:28,212
Here we go.
So nice to be back.
33
00:01:28,297 --> 00:01:31,131
- Wow.
- They are in
for a shock tonight.
34
00:01:31,175 --> 00:01:36,470
Now this challenge
is gonna give these kids
a few nightmares.
35
00:01:39,475 --> 00:01:41,683
- Welcome back!
- ( overlapping chatter )
36
00:01:41,727 --> 00:01:45,646
- Daphne: Top seven!
- It's a mystery challenge.
37
00:01:45,689 --> 00:01:47,481
There's boxes.
38
00:01:47,566 --> 00:01:50,317
I feel amazing to be
in the top seven.
39
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:53,821
- But I see the mystery boxes.
- What is this?
40
00:01:53,864 --> 00:01:57,157
...And I'm like,
I know there's been some
really crazy things,
41
00:01:57,201 --> 00:01:59,243
Just nasty stuff.
42
00:01:59,245 --> 00:02:02,121
So I don't know what's gonna
pop out of that mystery box.
43
00:02:02,164 --> 00:02:03,705
Like, I'm super duper scared.
44
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:07,209
Right. Welcome back.
You guys are the top seven.
45
00:02:07,211 --> 00:02:08,919
Come on.
Give yourselves a big
round of applause.
46
00:02:09,004 --> 00:02:11,338
All: Yeah!
47
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:15,050
As you guys can see,
tonight is your next
mystery box challenge.
48
00:02:15,094 --> 00:02:17,594
Any ideas what might be
under those boxes?
49
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:19,429
- No idea.
- No!
50
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:22,641
On the count of three,
everyone lift your boxes.
51
00:02:22,643 --> 00:02:24,518
I'm scared!
52
00:02:24,562 --> 00:02:29,356
Judges: One. Two.
53
00:02:29,358 --> 00:02:31,150
Three. Lift!
54
00:02:31,152 --> 00:02:33,277
- ( groaning )
- oh, no!
55
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:34,987
- No!
- Bleu cheese?
56
00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:36,196
- Yes!
- Why?
57
00:02:36,198 --> 00:02:37,281
What?
58
00:02:37,283 --> 00:02:41,410
- Mushrooms?
- I hate tomatoes.
59
00:02:41,495 --> 00:02:47,624
No! My least favorite!
Bleu cheese! Why?
60
00:02:47,626 --> 00:02:49,376
It smells terrible, bruh.
61
00:02:49,420 --> 00:02:51,879
- What did you get?
- Oysters.
62
00:02:51,964 --> 00:02:55,007
Oysters look like the nightmares
under my bed,
63
00:02:55,009 --> 00:02:57,009
And those are really scary.
64
00:02:57,094 --> 00:02:59,845
( growling )
65
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:03,265
Now, in front of you,
have have a plate
that you hate.
66
00:03:03,267 --> 00:03:06,143
- Eww!
- ( groaning )
67
00:03:06,145 --> 00:03:07,686
We've done a little snooping,
68
00:03:07,771 --> 00:03:12,399
And we've learned everyone's
least favorite ingredient.
69
00:03:12,401 --> 00:03:16,278
- No.
- Welcome to your
nightmare challenge.
70
00:03:16,363 --> 00:03:18,405
- Eww!
- Oh, I hate this.
71
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:21,909
- Wah!
- So tonight, your challenge
is use that ingredient
72
00:03:21,911 --> 00:03:25,245
That you hate and incorporate it
into a beautiful dish.
73
00:03:25,247 --> 00:03:28,123
No! I don't want to touch it.
74
00:03:28,167 --> 00:03:32,044
Okay. Alfred.
Tell us what's on the plate
you hate.
75
00:03:32,087 --> 00:03:36,340
- Bleu cheese.
- Oh, I love bleu cheese,
especially the smell.
76
00:03:36,342 --> 00:03:38,008
( coughs )
77
00:03:38,052 --> 00:03:39,426
Bleu cheese is so disgusting,
78
00:03:39,511 --> 00:03:42,387
The first time I ever had it,
I ran to the bathroom
79
00:03:42,431 --> 00:03:45,340
And I went--
( imitates retching )
80
00:03:45,351 --> 00:03:46,433
No!
81
00:03:46,435 --> 00:03:49,019
Bleu cheese is basically
like cow poop,
82
00:03:49,021 --> 00:03:50,479
But bleu cheese is worse.
83
00:03:50,522 --> 00:03:52,773
- Gordon: Right, michael.
- I got mushrooms.
84
00:03:52,816 --> 00:03:55,984
They make me want to gag
'cause of, like, the texture,
I just hate them.
85
00:03:56,028 --> 00:03:58,487
Mushrooms are delicious,
young man.
86
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:02,324
It's a "fun guy,"
just like aarón.
87
00:04:02,326 --> 00:04:04,117
( groaning )
88
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:05,160
Wa-dump bump.
89
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:06,370
Do you have a mushroom dance?
90
00:04:06,413 --> 00:04:09,623
- Yeah, it's like...
- Yeah.
91
00:04:09,667 --> 00:04:11,875
Oh, no.
92
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:14,169
Right, jordyn,
what's the ingredient?
93
00:04:14,171 --> 00:04:16,380
Kale. I don't like kale.
94
00:04:16,423 --> 00:04:18,924
'cause it looks
like the grinch's brain.
95
00:04:18,968 --> 00:04:21,468
- Girl, you don't know
what you're missing.
- Bryson.
96
00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:24,137
I hate lima beans. Ugh!
97
00:04:24,139 --> 00:04:27,683
- Gordon: Asher.
- Anchovies. Ugh!
98
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:30,143
- Lilo.
- Oysters.
99
00:04:30,187 --> 00:04:32,604
I want to take one of those
right now and eat it.
100
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,648
- You can have it.
- Remy.
101
00:04:34,650 --> 00:04:36,692
Tomatoes because of the texture.
102
00:04:36,777 --> 00:04:39,861
Really? First of all,
they're called to-mah-toes.
103
00:04:39,863 --> 00:04:44,866
- Ugh.
- Okay, to-mah-toes.
104
00:04:44,910 --> 00:04:46,493
- Oh, the sass.
- I love that.
105
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:50,163
All right, kids,
no professional chef
106
00:04:50,249 --> 00:04:53,292
Ever gets to only use
ingredients that they like.
107
00:04:53,335 --> 00:04:56,670
So, try out new cooking
techniques or even pair them
108
00:04:56,672 --> 00:05:00,173
With ingredients that you
already love to eat,
109
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:03,427
Like when I put spinach inside
tilly's cupcakes.
110
00:05:03,512 --> 00:05:04,803
All: Eww!
111
00:05:04,888 --> 00:05:07,389
To be honest, guys,
they were actually pretty tasty.
112
00:05:07,474 --> 00:05:09,141
Ugh.
113
00:05:09,143 --> 00:05:13,145
You guys will have one hour
to turn the plate you hate
114
00:05:13,147 --> 00:05:16,481
Into a restaurant quality dish.
115
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:19,151
Right, listen up.
Whoever cooks
the best dish tonight
116
00:05:19,194 --> 00:05:21,486
Will win an incredible prize.
117
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:25,490
A stunning set of e-bikes
for the whole family!
118
00:05:27,619 --> 00:05:29,411
- Look at those!
- All: Whoa!
119
00:05:29,413 --> 00:05:30,871
- Oh, my gosh.
- Aarón: Man!
120
00:05:30,873 --> 00:05:32,873
Gordon: How cool are they?
121
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:35,208
- Insane.
- Cool.
122
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:40,005
But remember, whoever cooks
the worst dish tonight will
unfortunately be going home.
123
00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:44,551
So make sure you use your
mystery box ingredient wisely
in your dish.
124
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:47,346
Right, are you
magnificent seven ready?
125
00:05:47,348 --> 00:05:48,722
All: Yes, chef!
126
00:05:48,766 --> 00:05:52,017
Your 60 minutes starts now!
127
00:05:52,061 --> 00:05:54,478
Go, go, go,
go, go, go!
128
00:05:54,563 --> 00:05:55,604
Let's get it. Let's go!
129
00:05:55,647 --> 00:05:58,023
Let's go! Come on, bryson.
130
00:05:58,025 --> 00:05:59,441
You got it!
131
00:06:01,528 --> 00:06:03,028
- Okay.
- Mushroom.
132
00:06:03,030 --> 00:06:04,279
Where are the carrots?
133
00:06:04,323 --> 00:06:06,156
- Ah, right here.
- Onion!
134
00:06:06,241 --> 00:06:08,158
I think I need a little bit
more kale.
135
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,953
- Eww.
- Where is the minced garlic?
136
00:06:11,997 --> 00:06:15,290
- They're in here.
- I hate anchovies so much.
137
00:06:15,334 --> 00:06:19,252
The first time I ate them,
it was disgusting.
138
00:06:19,296 --> 00:06:22,130
- What are you looking for?
- Minced garlic.
139
00:06:22,174 --> 00:06:23,423
The only way
I'm eating anchovies
140
00:06:23,425 --> 00:06:26,009
Is if I can't see them
in the dish.
141
00:06:26,011 --> 00:06:30,138
And that's why I'm making pasta
with anchovy tomato sauce
142
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:32,015
And anchovy garlic bread.
143
00:06:32,059 --> 00:06:34,434
- Here they come.
- Speed up.
144
00:06:35,604 --> 00:06:37,145
Ooh, disgusting.
145
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:39,147
The biggest challenge
of this dish
146
00:06:39,149 --> 00:06:41,483
Is if I throw up
while I'm doing it.
147
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:44,152
- Blech.
- Whew.
148
00:06:44,154 --> 00:06:46,113
Gordon: Let's go!
149
00:06:47,157 --> 00:06:50,283
- Come on, come on.
- Perfect.
150
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:54,287
So I got tomatoes,
the worst thing in the world.
151
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:57,416
I'm making fried green tomato
eggs benedict
152
00:06:57,418 --> 00:07:01,128
With a cherry tomato arugula
salad on it.
153
00:07:01,171 --> 00:07:03,171
It doesn't look too bad
because I'm not eating it,
154
00:07:03,257 --> 00:07:05,257
So it's not that gross to me.
155
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,009
But when I eat a raw tomato,
I can't do it.
156
00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:12,472
- You're gone.
- I hate kale. Eww!
157
00:07:13,892 --> 00:07:15,434
Lilo:
Oysters are disgusting.
158
00:07:15,436 --> 00:07:18,145
To me it just doesn't taste good
and I don't like it,
159
00:07:18,147 --> 00:07:22,441
But at the family's restaurant,
we make oysters a lot.
160
00:07:22,443 --> 00:07:25,402
So I am making oyster
three ways.
161
00:07:25,404 --> 00:07:28,947
Fried oysters, baked oysters,
oysters raw.
162
00:07:29,032 --> 00:07:35,370
I'm making lots of sauces
to make my dish even better
with all the oysters.
163
00:07:35,456 --> 00:07:37,372
I'm really messy.
164
00:07:37,416 --> 00:07:40,500
This is one of the most exciting
challenges we've ever had.
165
00:07:40,544 --> 00:07:42,043
- We've never done this before.
- We've never done this.
166
00:07:42,129 --> 00:07:44,045
The ingredient
they grew up hating...
167
00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:48,884
- Remy: Nasty!
- ...They now have to transform
into a delicious dish.
168
00:07:48,927 --> 00:07:50,260
Oh, they smell terrible!
169
00:07:50,304 --> 00:07:52,220
This is every parent's
dream though
170
00:07:52,264 --> 00:07:53,638
Is where you can force your kids
to give it a chance.
171
00:07:53,724 --> 00:07:55,056
- Sure.
- Just try it.
172
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:56,933
Try it a way you might think
you like it.
173
00:07:56,935 --> 00:07:59,144
Work something
you don't like into something
you know you love.
174
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:00,395
- Exactly that.
- But I do also think
175
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:02,397
When you actually have
to cook it yourself,
176
00:08:02,441 --> 00:08:04,649
You have a new respect for it,
and then that leads you
to liking it.
177
00:08:04,693 --> 00:08:06,276
- Like, I never
used to like tomatoes,
- daphne: Really?
178
00:08:06,361 --> 00:08:08,653
Then I started cooking them, and
I started really liking them.
179
00:08:08,655 --> 00:08:10,822
It's almost like overcoming
their fears, right?
180
00:08:10,908 --> 00:08:15,410
- Absolutely right.
- We are ten minutes down.
We have 50 minutes to go.
181
00:08:15,412 --> 00:08:18,914
I want to see all of you
tasting the ingredients
that you hate.
182
00:08:18,999 --> 00:08:22,417
- Alfred, let's go.
- ( gulps )
183
00:08:22,419 --> 00:08:24,961
- Alfred, yes!
- Yes, alfred!
184
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:27,422
Yeah, alfred!
185
00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:31,301
Lilo, come on, girl.
You can do it. Yeah!
186
00:08:31,386 --> 00:08:34,679
- Yeah! Nice, lilo!
- Yes!
187
00:08:34,681 --> 00:08:38,099
We're changing
people's lives here.
This is amazing!
188
00:08:38,101 --> 00:08:43,355
Jordyn: Okay, I think
this is really the hardest
challenge yet
189
00:08:43,398 --> 00:08:47,150
Because how do I make this thing
that's ugly and gross
190
00:08:47,194 --> 00:08:50,403
Turn into something
restaurant quality?
191
00:08:50,405 --> 00:08:54,991
I know I'm supposed to be
tasting something while I cook,
192
00:08:55,035 --> 00:08:56,910
But I'm not gonna eat it.
I'm not gonna eat it.
193
00:08:56,954 --> 00:08:58,828
- Jordyn, you got this, girl.
- Oh, no.
194
00:08:58,872 --> 00:09:00,163
Get that little taste of kale.
195
00:09:00,249 --> 00:09:01,456
- Come on, you can do it.
- Gordon: Come on.
196
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:02,874
You can do it!
197
00:09:02,876 --> 00:09:05,001
Why did chef gordon
do this to us?
198
00:09:05,045 --> 00:09:08,630
This is the worst thing ever.
199
00:09:08,632 --> 00:09:12,217
- Oh!
- Ugh.
200
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:25,772
We have 45 minutes remaining to
turn the ingredients you hate...
201
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:29,568
- Lilo: Disgusting.
- ...Into something delicious
on a plate.
202
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:33,113
Eww!
203
00:09:33,156 --> 00:09:36,783
- Oh!
- Bryson, what are you
working with there?
204
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,952
I'm working with lima beans.
205
00:09:38,996 --> 00:09:40,996
Michael: Eww, nasty.
I hate lima beans.
206
00:09:40,998 --> 00:09:42,998
- See, I'm not the only one.
- Exactly.
207
00:09:43,041 --> 00:09:44,332
Let's go, guys, come on.
208
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:50,880
- Bryson: Ugh!
- So, bryson, you have got
the lima beans.
209
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:52,382
Talk to me about them.
210
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:55,260
I do not like lima beans
because my school ruined it.
211
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:57,637
I mean, they serve them
every single week.
212
00:09:57,639 --> 00:10:00,348
They would be soaked in butter.
It was terrible.
213
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:02,267
Seriously.
Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
214
00:10:02,311 --> 00:10:05,979
- Well, in the south,
lima beans are really known.
- Yes.
215
00:10:06,023 --> 00:10:07,981
- And why not do a succotash?
- Love it.
216
00:10:08,025 --> 00:10:11,026
Because lima beans
are the main thing for them.
217
00:10:11,028 --> 00:10:13,445
And I'm also making
a lamb roast.
218
00:10:13,530 --> 00:10:15,655
Right, lamb,
it's gonna rest as well,
219
00:10:15,699 --> 00:10:18,366
- So all those roasting
juices travel, right?
- Yes, chef.
220
00:10:18,410 --> 00:10:21,411
Right, I've got to see this.
Are you gonna go like that
221
00:10:21,455 --> 00:10:23,246
- And taste one
of these lima beans?
- Come on, kid.
222
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:25,373
- Oh, my goodness.
- Come on, bryson.
You got this.
223
00:10:25,417 --> 00:10:26,875
- Let me-- no. No, no, no.
- Yours will be much better.
224
00:10:26,918 --> 00:10:29,002
Let me get a barf bag
just in case, okay?
225
00:10:29,004 --> 00:10:31,129
- I'll be behind you.
- You got this, bryson.
226
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:33,006
Wait, wait, wait.
Just in case. Just in case.
227
00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:35,091
He may barf!
I want to catch it.
228
00:10:35,135 --> 00:10:36,217
Take your time.
There's only one lima bean.
229
00:10:36,261 --> 00:10:38,386
Come on, you got this.
230
00:10:38,430 --> 00:10:40,263
- You got this.
- Come on, bryson.
231
00:10:40,307 --> 00:10:43,016
Go on, go on, go on, go on!
Go on, buddy. You've got this.
232
00:10:43,018 --> 00:10:45,977
- He's gonna spit it out!
- Okay, spit it out!
233
00:10:46,021 --> 00:10:48,104
Oh, man!
234
00:10:48,106 --> 00:10:51,691
- Bryson!
- Sorry. Man!
235
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:56,613
- I got this.
- Eww.
236
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:01,826
- Daphne: Michael.
- Michael, what's shaking,
buddy?
237
00:11:01,870 --> 00:11:04,120
- Hello.
- Look at you calm, cool,
and collected over here.
238
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:06,373
Always with the hair
looking coiffed.
239
00:11:06,375 --> 00:11:09,250
I think you're the only guy
that has more product in their
hair than I do, okay?
240
00:11:09,294 --> 00:11:11,628
Remind us what your least
favorite ingredient was.
241
00:11:11,713 --> 00:11:12,879
The mushrooms.
I hate mushrooms.
242
00:11:12,923 --> 00:11:14,547
- Ahh.
- Mushrooms.
243
00:11:14,549 --> 00:11:16,883
So, I'm gonna do
a mushroom rubbed ribeye
244
00:11:16,927 --> 00:11:19,219
- With a mushroom callaloo...
- Oh, nice.
245
00:11:19,262 --> 00:11:22,013
...Because my dad
is from the caribbean,
246
00:11:22,048 --> 00:11:23,765
And he talks so much
about the callaloo,
247
00:11:23,809 --> 00:11:26,017
And I've been wanting
to make it for a good time.
248
00:11:26,103 --> 00:11:30,980
It's basically like
a reduced down stock with
coconut milk and chicken stock.
249
00:11:31,024 --> 00:11:33,024
- Greens, mushrooms.
- Yeah.
250
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:36,152
So why don't you like mushrooms?
Was is it about them?
251
00:11:36,238 --> 00:11:38,238
Because my dad's
made mushrooms before
252
00:11:38,281 --> 00:11:41,658
And I just absolutely hated
the way he cooked them.
253
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:43,535
- You're throwing your dad
under the bus?
- Yes.
254
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:46,996
- It's 'cause of him!
- I hate them because of him!
255
00:11:46,998 --> 00:11:49,290
The mushrooms are gonna soak up
all that wonderful coconut milk
256
00:11:49,376 --> 00:11:52,252
And the aromatics and it's just
gonna be a burst of flavor.
257
00:11:52,295 --> 00:11:54,087
- Yes.
- So look at them as little
sponges, michael,
258
00:11:54,131 --> 00:11:55,505
Not something
you don't like, okay?
259
00:11:55,549 --> 00:11:57,674
- Little sponges. All right.
- Of flavor.
260
00:11:57,676 --> 00:12:00,385
And how would you feel
taking home this gorgeous
collection of e-bikes?
261
00:12:00,429 --> 00:12:03,847
That would be so cool
'cause in florida, carrying all
my fishing stuff's really heavy.
262
00:12:03,849 --> 00:12:05,390
- It would be so nice.
- Aarón: I have to say
263
00:12:05,434 --> 00:12:07,475
For somebody that doesn't
like the ingredient,
264
00:12:07,477 --> 00:12:10,770
We really respect that
you're going full steam ahead,
my friend.
265
00:12:10,814 --> 00:12:15,024
I think because the world
of mushrooms is so bri--
no, I want to ride the bike!
266
00:12:15,068 --> 00:12:17,360
- That's my bike, gordon!
- Gordon: Let's go!
267
00:12:17,404 --> 00:12:20,155
- Oh, my goodness.
- Let's go. 35 minutes to go.
268
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:22,157
- ( laughing )
- whee!
269
00:12:22,242 --> 00:12:24,033
- I love it.
- Oh, no.
270
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:26,244
- Whee!
- Stay focused.
271
00:12:26,288 --> 00:12:28,121
Don't let these antics
distract you.
272
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:29,622
- Exactly.
- Whee!
273
00:12:29,624 --> 00:12:31,916
He cannot control his self.
274
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,335
- Two more minutes.
- Olive oil.
275
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:35,837
( humming )
276
00:12:35,881 --> 00:12:38,882
Jordyn,
what's going on over here?
277
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:41,676
Well, I'm making
fried sole with--
278
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,014
I just don't want to say it--
kale bacon stew.
279
00:12:46,016 --> 00:12:47,390
That's why I stopped
'cause I don't want to say it.
280
00:12:47,434 --> 00:12:50,101
And you got some
of these "unh" chips, right?
281
00:12:50,145 --> 00:12:53,396
Yup. Yeah.
My grandma loves kale.
282
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,982
And I tried it before
and I thought it was disgusting.
283
00:12:56,026 --> 00:12:58,067
I almost went to the bathroom
and throwed up.
284
00:12:58,069 --> 00:13:00,403
I think she'll be
very proud of you for making it
your dish tonight.
285
00:13:00,405 --> 00:13:02,655
- Yeah.
- It is so good for you.
286
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:04,866
And think you're seeing it here.
You're doing the kale chips.
287
00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:07,285
You'll make it crispy
and beautiful.
You'll do it stewed here.
288
00:13:07,287 --> 00:13:10,830
- I think it's gonna be
a marvelous combination.
- Thank you.
289
00:13:10,832 --> 00:13:14,250
Okay, you've got 25 minutes
to fry this fish.
Let's get that going.
290
00:13:14,294 --> 00:13:15,418
Watch it carefully.
Don't need to go too long.
291
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,378
Aarón:
All right, young lady.
292
00:13:17,422 --> 00:13:18,963
And then start thinking about
putting all of it together
293
00:13:19,007 --> 00:13:21,216
- Once you get that fish
in there, okay?
- 'kay.
294
00:13:21,259 --> 00:13:24,886
Hmm. That much, right? Yeah.
295
00:13:24,921 --> 00:13:27,096
Right, lilo, there's a lot
going on here.
296
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:28,264
Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
297
00:13:28,266 --> 00:13:30,683
I am making three-way oysters.
298
00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:33,478
- Pretty cool.
- That is super cool.
Tell me the which-way.
299
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:39,108
- So? Nice.
- So first I'm doing an oyster
tempura with vegetables,
300
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:43,363
Raw oyster with a vinegar sauce,
301
00:13:43,365 --> 00:13:48,368
Baked oysters, and I'm gonna put
yuzu and miso on there, too.
302
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:50,620
That's a lot to do. Okay?
Be careful.
303
00:13:50,622 --> 00:13:54,290
- Make sure that batter
is nice and crispy. Okay?
- Yes, chef.
304
00:13:54,376 --> 00:13:55,917
- Right, good luck.
- Thank you.
305
00:13:55,919 --> 00:14:00,004
Okay, let's go.
We're down to the final
20 minutes, guys,
306
00:14:00,048 --> 00:14:02,382
- To turn the hate on a plate...
- Ugh!
307
00:14:02,425 --> 00:14:06,177
...Into deliciousness
beyond belief.
308
00:14:06,221 --> 00:14:08,596
- ( beeping )
- oh, that's mine!
309
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,849
I'm gonna taste this mushroom.
310
00:14:10,851 --> 00:14:15,144
So michael doesn't like
mushrooms and he has his dad
to thank for that.
311
00:14:15,146 --> 00:14:17,814
It's a lot better
than how my dad makes it.
312
00:14:17,816 --> 00:14:21,776
He's gonna do this seared ribeye
and that's gonna be crusted
with powdered mushroom,
313
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:24,112
- Wow.
- And then he's gonna do this
callaloo, which is basically
314
00:14:24,155 --> 00:14:26,155
A mixture of aromatics,
coconut milk.
315
00:14:26,199 --> 00:14:28,241
It also is gonna have mushrooms
inside of there as well.
316
00:14:28,285 --> 00:14:31,286
He's utilizing mushrooms
in many different ways.
317
00:14:31,329 --> 00:14:33,246
Great idea, rubbing that
ribeye with that porcini.
318
00:14:33,248 --> 00:14:34,831
- Yup.
- Beautiful.
319
00:14:34,875 --> 00:14:37,750
Daphne:
So, jordyn is cooking kale
in two ways.
320
00:14:37,794 --> 00:14:40,086
I think of all the ingredients
that the young cooks got,
321
00:14:40,130 --> 00:14:42,130
I thought that kale
was the easiest
to kind of interpret.
322
00:14:42,132 --> 00:14:44,424
- Oh, no.
- And the softest one.
323
00:14:44,467 --> 00:14:46,926
Oh, I think it's one
of the most difficult for
a young kid to love kale.
324
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:49,095
Daphne: But I want her to get
excited about the possibility
325
00:14:49,097 --> 00:14:50,972
That she might be expanding
her horizons
326
00:14:51,016 --> 00:14:53,433
And learn to love something
like kale.
327
00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,438
So lilo's got oysters
three ways.
328
00:14:58,523 --> 00:15:02,358
My only worry there
with lilo is if those oysters
are overcooked.
329
00:15:02,402 --> 00:15:04,110
- They're gonna be like rubber.
- Done.
330
00:15:04,154 --> 00:15:05,820
Gordon:
And so this is a tough one.
331
00:15:05,864 --> 00:15:08,907
Do we think oysters three ways
is too much for lilo?
332
00:15:08,909 --> 00:15:12,327
Daphne:
The reality is we're down
to the top seven, right?
333
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:14,120
If you're gonna do something
elegant and beautiful,
334
00:15:14,164 --> 00:15:15,288
It should be diverse
like what she's doing here.
335
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:16,956
It's ambitious though, right?
336
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,416
Get it right
and it's a showstopper.
337
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,084
But I'm just worried
she's taking on too much.
338
00:15:20,128 --> 00:15:22,086
Whisk. Whisk.
339
00:15:22,172 --> 00:15:28,301
I feel pretty nervous because
I have to get everything perfect
step by step.
340
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:35,308
I have to put the oysters down
and tell them who's boss.
341
00:15:35,393 --> 00:15:40,313
It's me, so you are going
to get fried, baked, and eaten
342
00:15:40,357 --> 00:15:43,191
In gordon ramsay's mouth!
You hear me?
343
00:15:54,829 --> 00:15:56,913
Gordon:
15 minutes remaining.
344
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:58,373
Concentrate.
345
00:15:58,375 --> 00:16:01,042
Open oven!
346
00:16:01,044 --> 00:16:03,378
Let's go, guys, come on.
347
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:09,008
Alfred? Alfred?
348
00:16:09,010 --> 00:16:10,510
Anyone seen alfred?
Oh, there you are.
349
00:16:10,595 --> 00:16:12,303
Oh, what?
350
00:16:12,347 --> 00:16:14,138
Spider-man.
351
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:16,683
Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
352
00:16:16,726 --> 00:16:20,937
So I'm making a new york strip
with a bleu cheese
compound butter.
353
00:16:20,939 --> 00:16:24,190
Love that.
So what is it about this
bleu cheese you don't like?
354
00:16:25,986 --> 00:16:28,319
It tastes like rat poison.
355
00:16:28,321 --> 00:16:30,154
- What? Seriously?
- Oh, my goodness.
356
00:16:30,198 --> 00:16:32,365
- Yes.
- This dish sounds amazing,
by the way.
357
00:16:32,409 --> 00:16:34,993
That steak needs a really
good sear on there.
358
00:16:35,078 --> 00:16:37,704
You're gonna get the really
seriously hot pan and get that
really nice crust on there.
359
00:16:37,706 --> 00:16:41,040
Just be careful. You don't want
to overcook it, right? Okay.
360
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:42,709
Are you going to mix the butter
in there already?
361
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:44,168
- Do you have butter in there?
- It's in the fridge.
362
00:16:44,170 --> 00:16:45,628
Smart. Love this idea.
363
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:47,880
Come on, man, you've got this.
Yeah? Let's go.
364
00:16:47,924 --> 00:16:50,425
You've got this, alfred.
365
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:55,013
- Looks good.
- Daphne: Asher.
366
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:58,808
- Hello.
- All right, asher, so you've
got the despised anchovy.
367
00:16:58,810 --> 00:17:01,394
- How did you incorporate it?
- So I'm making pasta
368
00:17:01,438 --> 00:17:06,315
In an anchovy tomato sauce
and anchovy garlic bread.
369
00:17:06,401 --> 00:17:11,070
- Aarón: Nice!
- I incorporated it
like a salt almost.
370
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:12,822
Think it's kind
of amazing, right?
371
00:17:12,866 --> 00:17:14,282
To see you don't need as much
salt when you add ingredients
372
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:16,242
Like capers, like olives,
like anchovies.
373
00:17:16,244 --> 00:17:19,120
All right, now that
you've come this far,
374
00:17:19,164 --> 00:17:22,790
I think you can have one taste
of actual, just normal anchovy.
375
00:17:22,834 --> 00:17:25,043
- I'm gonna have one with you.
- Come on, we'll all
do it together.
376
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:28,046
- Okay.
- Give that to asher.
Okay, ready, guys?
377
00:17:28,131 --> 00:17:30,840
- Okay.
- One, two, three.
378
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:33,384
- ( aarón groaning )
- you--
379
00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:37,013
You-- yes!
I'm so proud of you.
380
00:17:37,057 --> 00:17:39,599
Come on. It's not so bad.
381
00:17:39,642 --> 00:17:43,186
Looks good.
382
00:17:43,188 --> 00:17:45,563
Asher: I wanna eat
one of those so bad.
383
00:17:45,648 --> 00:17:49,275
- Right, remy.
Remy's ingredient was...
- Tilly: Tomatoes.
384
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:52,403
No, don't pull a face
like that, girl.
385
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:55,907
Blistering the tomatoes
makes them sweeter.
386
00:17:55,992 --> 00:17:57,283
- It does?
- Come on. Yes!
387
00:17:57,368 --> 00:17:59,118
'cause you roast them,
it intensifies the flavor.
388
00:17:59,162 --> 00:18:01,913
- Oh!
- So what's the dish
389
00:18:01,998 --> 00:18:03,247
And where did
the idea come from?
390
00:18:03,291 --> 00:18:06,125
So I'm from the south
and we love fried stuff.
391
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:10,004
So I am making eggs benedict
with a hollandaise sauce.
392
00:18:10,048 --> 00:18:12,090
And I'm just adding
a fried tomato instead
of an english muffin.
393
00:18:12,133 --> 00:18:13,424
- Right. Love that.
- Ooh.
394
00:18:13,468 --> 00:18:15,009
I love that.
And what about the eggs?
395
00:18:15,053 --> 00:18:16,010
They gonna be nice and runny
in the middle?
396
00:18:16,054 --> 00:18:17,762
- Yes.
- Well done.
397
00:18:17,806 --> 00:18:19,013
- Come on. Keep this going.
- Good luck, remy.
398
00:18:19,015 --> 00:18:21,015
Gordon:
Five minutes to go.
399
00:18:21,059 --> 00:18:22,225
Five minutes, ooh!
400
00:18:23,394 --> 00:18:26,771
- Oven open.
- Alfred, how you doing?
401
00:18:26,773 --> 00:18:29,440
- Good.
- Behind you.
402
00:18:29,442 --> 00:18:31,275
So alfred's got
this new york strip.
403
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,861
He's gonna roast
that new york strip
and take that bleu cheese
404
00:18:33,905 --> 00:18:37,824
That he hates and turn
that into a compound butter,
which sounds interesting.
405
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:40,535
That bleu cheese butter really
does have to stand out tonight.
406
00:18:40,578 --> 00:18:42,578
- It's got to be spot-on.
- You're absolutely right.
407
00:18:42,664 --> 00:18:44,330
He's got to make sure
he tries it as well,
408
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:46,666
Make sure it's seasoned well.
It's quite a tricky one for him.
409
00:18:46,709 --> 00:18:49,877
Also, the steak needs
to be spot-on, right?
410
00:18:49,921 --> 00:18:52,630
- In just a little bit.
- So, asher,
he's got the anchovies.
411
00:18:52,674 --> 00:18:55,883
Daphne: Absolutely. He's doing
a beautiful pasta dish
412
00:18:55,927 --> 00:18:58,010
With an anchovy tomato sauce.
413
00:18:58,054 --> 00:19:00,596
Masking it the way
that he is is actually
gonna be very helpful.
414
00:19:00,598 --> 00:19:02,890
Let's be honest,
anchovies as an eight-year-old,
415
00:19:02,976 --> 00:19:05,143
It's salty, it's disgusting,
it's too strong.
416
00:19:05,145 --> 00:19:07,979
Daphne:
But he's using anchovies
as a salt substitute.
417
00:19:07,981 --> 00:19:12,150
It's a really clever idea.
He understood that these
anchovies can season his dish.
418
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:13,776
- So smart.
- Really smart.
419
00:19:13,778 --> 00:19:16,362
And I'm hoping
it's not too salty.
420
00:19:16,447 --> 00:19:18,030
60 seconds to go.
421
00:19:18,065 --> 00:19:20,199
Remember, someone,
sadly, is going home.
422
00:19:20,201 --> 00:19:23,119
Make sure it's not you.
Let's go!
423
00:19:23,163 --> 00:19:24,787
- Tidy up those plates.
- Aarón: Vámonos!
424
00:19:24,831 --> 00:19:27,206
- Gordon: Let's go, remy.
- Jordyn, finish the garnish
425
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:29,000
- With the chips, honey.
- Come on, bryson.
426
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:30,960
Get that lamb sliced, my man.
Let's go.
427
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:33,004
Daphne: Make sure everything
ends up on the plate, guys.
428
00:19:33,006 --> 00:19:34,255
Don't leave something
on the side.
429
00:19:34,299 --> 00:19:35,798
Gordon:
Okay, alfred, let's go.
430
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:38,092
Make that plate a plate
that we do not want to hate.
431
00:19:38,136 --> 00:19:39,635
- Nicely stacked, lilo.
- Ahh.
432
00:19:39,679 --> 00:19:41,888
Aarón: Restaurant quality
plates, everyone!
433
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:43,931
- Gordon: Come on, guys!
- Judges: Ten, nine,
434
00:19:43,933 --> 00:19:46,934
Eight, seven, six,
435
00:19:46,936 --> 00:19:50,938
Five, four, three, two, one.
436
00:19:50,940 --> 00:19:54,317
And stop! Hands in the air.
437
00:19:55,445 --> 00:19:56,736
Well done.
438
00:19:56,779 --> 00:19:58,863
Lilo: I did taste an oyster,
439
00:19:58,907 --> 00:20:00,531
And I don't really like it.
440
00:20:00,575 --> 00:20:02,491
I don't think
I'm ever gonna like it.
441
00:20:02,577 --> 00:20:04,702
But I do like my dish.
442
00:20:04,787 --> 00:20:08,122
Remy: I'm pretty sure
this is the winning dish
because it looks pretty,
443
00:20:08,166 --> 00:20:09,290
It tastes really good--
except for me.
444
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:12,001
I just didn't
particularly like it,
445
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:13,669
But I think the judges will.
446
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:19,508
I do believe the taste is great.
It's a little bit not, um...
447
00:20:24,599 --> 00:20:26,015
( sighs )
448
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,558
I'm worried about my steak
449
00:20:27,685 --> 00:20:31,020
'cause I know the judges
like it cooked medium rare.
450
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:34,398
So I'm nervous
about potentially going home.
451
00:20:36,027 --> 00:20:39,195
I am so scared.
No, no, please.
452
00:20:50,959 --> 00:20:54,502
Now tonight, each of you
had to turn the ingredients
you hate on your plate
453
00:20:54,504 --> 00:20:58,839
Into an elevated dish that looks
as good as it tastes.
454
00:20:58,883 --> 00:21:03,135
Now we're gonna take
a much closer look
at all your dishes
455
00:21:03,137 --> 00:21:06,347
To see who's got the goods
and who missed the mark.
456
00:21:06,391 --> 00:21:10,226
Let's go. Okay.
457
00:21:16,067 --> 00:21:18,109
Remy, did you taste
as you went along?
458
00:21:18,194 --> 00:21:19,860
- Yes. Yes.
- All of it?
459
00:21:19,862 --> 00:21:21,445
- Are you happy with that?
- Yes.
460
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:22,571
Thank you.
461
00:21:24,575 --> 00:21:26,742
Hey, michael, how did you want
your steak to be cooked?
462
00:21:26,828 --> 00:21:27,868
Medium rare.
463
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:28,995
You confident that you got that?
464
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:31,497
- Yes.
- Thank you.
465
00:21:36,296 --> 00:21:39,130
Bryson, was this
the cook you were going for
on your lamb chops?
466
00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:40,631
- Yes, ma'am.
- Nice.
467
00:21:40,633 --> 00:21:42,258
And how about those lima beans?
468
00:21:42,302 --> 00:21:44,135
I boiled them and them put them
in the succotash
469
00:21:44,178 --> 00:21:45,553
With a little bit of vinegar.
470
00:21:45,596 --> 00:21:48,014
Thank you very much.
471
00:21:48,057 --> 00:21:49,765
Alfredo,
how are you doing, buddy?
472
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:53,019
- Good.
- How you feel about the cook
on that steak?
473
00:21:53,021 --> 00:21:56,814
I like my steaks done,
so hopefully it's done.
474
00:21:56,858 --> 00:21:59,066
Well, let me ask you a question.
How do you think
we like our steaks?
475
00:21:59,068 --> 00:22:02,069
- Well, it's juicy. Yep.
- Juicy, okay.
476
00:22:02,071 --> 00:22:05,156
And how do you feel
about the bleu cheese?
Did you use enough of it?
477
00:22:05,158 --> 00:22:06,157
Did it come out in that butter?
478
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,243
- Yes.
- Okay. Thank you.
479
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:14,999
Okay, jordyn, so your ingredient
you disliked was kale.
480
00:22:15,043 --> 00:22:17,793
Mm-hm. Did you taste
as we went along?
481
00:22:17,795 --> 00:22:21,130
I had that baked piece
when y'all told me to,
but I'm still not a fan.
482
00:22:21,174 --> 00:22:23,924
Right, and why are
the potatoes so greasy?
483
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:27,470
- I think I put a little
too much oil on it.
- Yeah.
484
00:22:28,473 --> 00:22:30,097
Thank you.
485
00:22:34,187 --> 00:22:36,771
So, asher,
did you taste your dish?
486
00:22:36,814 --> 00:22:38,689
- Mm-hmm.
- Are you happy
with how it turned out?
487
00:22:38,691 --> 00:22:40,191
- Yes.
- Did you start to like
the anchovies?
488
00:22:40,234 --> 00:22:43,194
- Mm-hmm.
- Nice. Thank you.
489
00:22:45,365 --> 00:22:47,865
And, lilo, oysters three ways.
490
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:49,533
How do you feel
about oysters right now?
491
00:22:49,577 --> 00:22:54,163
I'm feeling pretty good because
I think I did everything right.
492
00:22:54,248 --> 00:22:56,332
And you think the ones that are
cooked are cooked properly?
493
00:22:56,334 --> 00:22:58,459
- Yes.
- Thank you very much.
494
00:23:02,298 --> 00:23:04,757
Gordon:
It's a tough one, this one.
Cracking dishes.
495
00:23:04,801 --> 00:23:07,134
Well, especially consider
they are dishes
they hated at first.
496
00:23:07,178 --> 00:23:09,095
- I know, I know.
- You know?
497
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:13,766
There are four strong dishes,
right?
498
00:23:13,851 --> 00:23:17,061
- We all in agreeance? Yeah?
- Yeah.
499
00:23:18,398 --> 00:23:22,400
Okay, tonight we'll be tasting
all of your dishes
500
00:23:22,443 --> 00:23:27,780
And there are four dishes
that we felt were at the top
of the class.
501
00:23:27,865 --> 00:23:31,826
- Four?
- So the first young home cook
502
00:23:31,828 --> 00:23:36,580
Showed great flair
and smartly used the ingredient
they disliked.
503
00:23:36,624 --> 00:23:38,624
Please step forward...
504
00:23:41,245 --> 00:23:43,129
Asher.
505
00:23:45,174 --> 00:23:49,135
I feel great about my dish
because it's a high quality dish
506
00:23:49,178 --> 00:23:51,971
That I would serve
in a restaurant.
507
00:23:52,014 --> 00:23:55,391
But I will never eat
a whole anchovy ever again.
508
00:23:55,435 --> 00:23:57,726
Okay, asher,
describe your dish please.
509
00:23:57,770 --> 00:24:02,857
My dish that I made today is
pasta with anchovy tomato sauce
510
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:04,900
And anchovy garlic bread.
511
00:24:04,986 --> 00:24:06,735
So, visually, it looks awesome.
512
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:08,988
I was excited when I saw you
hand rolling that pasta,
513
00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:10,614
And so I can't wait to taste it.
514
00:24:10,616 --> 00:24:12,241
- Thank you.
- Shall we?
515
00:24:12,285 --> 00:24:14,493
And what was going through your
mind when you stated tasting
516
00:24:14,495 --> 00:24:16,996
The anchovies inside
the tomatoes?
517
00:24:16,998 --> 00:24:19,206
I thought it was delicious.
518
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:23,085
'cause it's more used
as a salt in my dish.
519
00:24:26,299 --> 00:24:28,674
Tilly: Asher,
I thought it was delicious.
520
00:24:28,676 --> 00:24:30,718
And I have to say,
I'm so impressed with the way
you've rolled that pasta.
521
00:24:30,761 --> 00:24:33,304
And it's cooked perfectly,
and that's quite hard
with fresh pasta
522
00:24:33,389 --> 00:24:35,014
Because it cooks a lot quicker.
523
00:24:35,057 --> 00:24:36,807
So personally,
I think you nailed it.
524
00:24:36,851 --> 00:24:39,310
- Thank you.
- Daphne: Yeah, asher,
I got to tell you,
525
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:40,811
It's the garlic crostini for me.
526
00:24:40,813 --> 00:24:43,439
Because you reminded me
how buttery anchovies can be.
527
00:24:43,483 --> 00:24:45,274
I think the combination
was really well-executed.
528
00:24:45,318 --> 00:24:49,570
- It's not overpowering.
Nice job.
- Asher, it tastes good.
529
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:51,864
It's got that really nice
little bit of heat there
with the chili flakes.
530
00:24:51,908 --> 00:24:53,282
Capers are there,
olives are there.
531
00:24:53,284 --> 00:24:55,201
The only thing you need
to be very careful of
532
00:24:55,244 --> 00:24:58,162
Is that olives, capers,
and anchovies--
533
00:24:58,164 --> 00:25:01,874
- Are all salty.
- Would you like to come
stand here?
534
00:25:01,876 --> 00:25:04,460
Come and stand here.
Yeah. Thank you, yeah.
535
00:25:06,297 --> 00:25:10,299
Anchovies, capers,
and olives are all salty.
536
00:25:10,301 --> 00:25:12,927
So why'd you put them
on the dish?
537
00:25:12,970 --> 00:25:16,388
'cause they don't only
have salt, but they have
other flavors, too.
538
00:25:16,432 --> 00:25:19,725
- Love that. Buddy!
- Love that.
539
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:22,269
I think it's fair to say that
over the last 60 minutes,
540
00:25:22,313 --> 00:25:24,438
I think you've fallen in love
with anchovies.
541
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,148
- A little bit.
- Really well done.
542
00:25:26,150 --> 00:25:28,859
- Thank you.
- Good job.
543
00:25:28,861 --> 00:25:30,569
- Yeah, really good.
- Daphne: Impressive.
544
00:25:30,655 --> 00:25:32,404
Very impressive.
I would have preferred
to see a little bit more
545
00:25:32,490 --> 00:25:33,989
Of that fresh basil
running through there,
546
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:35,991
- Get rid of that saltiness.
- Yeah, I got you.
547
00:25:36,035 --> 00:25:37,201
- Gordon: Really good.
- Nice job, asher.
548
00:25:38,579 --> 00:25:40,955
The next dish that we think
was a contender tonight
549
00:25:40,998 --> 00:25:43,457
Had some beautiful plating.
550
00:25:43,501 --> 00:25:45,751
Please come forward...
551
00:25:45,795 --> 00:25:47,086
Remy.
552
00:25:48,798 --> 00:25:51,674
- Nice job, remy.
- I'm so excited
that I'm in the top.
553
00:25:51,676 --> 00:25:55,261
This challenge
has changed my opinion
a little bit about tomatoes.
554
00:25:55,263 --> 00:25:59,265
Because it used to be like
"bleh," to "eh."
555
00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:01,684
So, remy,
please describe your dish.
556
00:26:01,769 --> 00:26:04,853
I've made eggs benedict
with a fried green tomato,
557
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:08,232
Arugula and cherry tomato salad
with a hollandaise sauce.
558
00:26:08,276 --> 00:26:10,859
Visually, I think it looks
very, very good.
559
00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:12,861
We were saying
how great the plating is.
560
00:26:12,863 --> 00:26:14,822
- Mm-hmm. Shall we?
- Yes.
561
00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:16,740
- Daphne: Dig in.
- Now the secret
of a great benedict,
562
00:26:16,784 --> 00:26:18,367
Is the egg runny?
563
00:26:19,620 --> 00:26:21,704
- Aarón: Mm!
- Daphne: Wow!
564
00:26:21,747 --> 00:26:23,122
- Gordon: Beautiful.
- Tilly: Looks pretty
perfect to me.
565
00:26:23,165 --> 00:26:25,124
- Gordon: Beautiful.
- Daphne: Remy.
566
00:26:31,716 --> 00:26:33,591
Remy, I love the fact
that you blistered tomatoes,
567
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:35,134
But they just need
just a little bit of salt.
568
00:26:35,136 --> 00:26:37,136
But I have to say
in new orleans where I live,
569
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:38,929
We served a lot
of fried green tomatoes,
570
00:26:38,973 --> 00:26:41,265
And those are better
than some that I've had
in our restaurants.
571
00:26:41,267 --> 00:26:43,809
- That's how good they are.
- Thank you so much.
572
00:26:43,853 --> 00:26:47,146
Yeah, remy, very impressive.
For someone who doesn't
like tomatoes,
573
00:26:47,189 --> 00:26:49,148
The thing on this plate
that's working so beautifully
574
00:26:49,191 --> 00:26:51,358
Is the meatiness of the fried
green tomato underneath,
575
00:26:51,402 --> 00:26:54,111
Plus the juiciness of
the blistered tomatoes on top.
576
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:55,904
The acid of the tomatoes
breaks up that richness
577
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:57,656
Of the hollandaise sauce
and the eggs.
578
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:59,992
The only thing
I think I'm missing
is a little bit of salt
579
00:26:59,994 --> 00:27:01,410
And a little bit of lemon zest.
580
00:27:01,412 --> 00:27:02,995
I would have liked
just that acid in the tomato.
581
00:27:02,997 --> 00:27:06,031
- But I agree, magnificent.
- Thank you.
582
00:27:06,042 --> 00:27:08,125
Overcoming your fears
cooking tomatoes tonight
583
00:27:08,127 --> 00:27:10,085
And making a hollandaise
and poaching eggs,
584
00:27:10,129 --> 00:27:13,797
Honestly, young lady,
you've done something
pretty majestic tonight.
585
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:19,011
Tomatoes may not be your thing,
but this dish confirms
you know how to cook them.
586
00:27:19,055 --> 00:27:20,679
- Thank you.
- Thank you, remy.
587
00:27:20,723 --> 00:27:23,891
- Well done.
Eggs cooked beautifully.
- Oh, so good.
588
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:25,142
- Mm-hmm.
- So good.
589
00:27:25,227 --> 00:27:27,311
- You did so good.
- Thanks.
590
00:27:27,313 --> 00:27:29,229
Okay, the next dish
that wowed us
591
00:27:29,273 --> 00:27:33,150
Was extremely well-seasoned
and had great flavors.
592
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:35,110
Please come forward...
593
00:27:36,447 --> 00:27:38,489
- Michael.
- Yes.
594
00:27:41,786 --> 00:27:43,869
This is my third time
in the top.
595
00:27:43,871 --> 00:27:45,537
I'm feeling really good
about this.
596
00:27:45,539 --> 00:27:48,165
But I'm worried about
just the cook on the meat.
597
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:49,875
I really hope that that cook
598
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:52,961
Is just absolutely
beautifully medium rare.
599
00:27:53,005 --> 00:27:54,797
Okay,
please describe your dish.
600
00:27:54,799 --> 00:27:59,134
I made a mushroom-rubbed ribeye
with a mushroom callaloo
601
00:27:59,136 --> 00:28:00,969
And sweet plantains.
602
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:02,971
Michael, this looks like
a hearty meal,
603
00:28:03,015 --> 00:28:05,099
And I know it's packed
with flavor,
604
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:06,850
And I'm excited
to try your mushrooms.
605
00:28:06,894 --> 00:28:08,268
- Thank you.
- We'll see. Shall we?
606
00:28:08,270 --> 00:28:11,021
Okay, and the cook will be?
607
00:28:11,107 --> 00:28:14,024
- Medium rare.
- He says medium rare.
608
00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:22,324
- Ooh.
- Well done, young man.
Good job.
609
00:28:24,328 --> 00:28:25,744
Wow!
610
00:28:31,919 --> 00:28:36,839
Yeah, michael,
I think the magic in this dish
is the mushroom callaloo.
611
00:28:36,841 --> 00:28:38,882
It's so profound in flavor,
612
00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:41,135
And it has that beautiful
citrusy heat.
613
00:28:41,178 --> 00:28:43,137
And you didn't shy away
from mushroom.
614
00:28:43,139 --> 00:28:45,013
So for an ingredient
that you don't like,
615
00:28:45,057 --> 00:28:47,015
- You surely embraced it.
- Oh, thank you.
616
00:28:47,017 --> 00:28:48,600
Michael,
I really loved the way
617
00:28:48,686 --> 00:28:50,561
You used your caribbean flavors
and heritage on the plate
618
00:28:50,563 --> 00:28:52,980
And kind of showed us
what you enjoy at home.
619
00:28:53,065 --> 00:28:54,898
- That was really special.
- Thank you.
620
00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:56,608
The seasoning's spot on.
The cook is lovely.
621
00:28:56,652 --> 00:28:58,277
Little bit more freshness
on the plate.
622
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:00,738
That's all.
But the callaloo is my favorite,
623
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:02,030
And that's you through
and through.
624
00:29:02,032 --> 00:29:03,907
- Just get the balance right.
- All right.
625
00:29:03,993 --> 00:29:05,367
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
626
00:29:08,706 --> 00:29:10,831
Sometimes that mushroom powder
makes things better.
627
00:29:10,875 --> 00:29:12,750
This thing tastes delicious,
by the way.
628
00:29:12,752 --> 00:29:14,960
Good job.
629
00:29:15,004 --> 00:29:18,005
So the final cook
in the top tonight
630
00:29:18,048 --> 00:29:22,760
Took food that they hated
and turned it into something
really delicious.
631
00:29:22,762 --> 00:29:24,052
Please come forward...
632
00:29:37,276 --> 00:29:41,820
All righty, the final cook
in the top tonight
633
00:29:41,864 --> 00:29:46,033
Took food that they hated
and turned it into something
really delicious.
634
00:29:46,118 --> 00:29:47,326
Please come forward...
635
00:29:49,246 --> 00:29:52,331
Bryson. Come on, buddy!
636
00:29:54,168 --> 00:29:56,084
It feels amazing to be
in the top.
637
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:57,920
I feel really good
about my dish,
638
00:29:57,922 --> 00:30:00,923
And I'm hoping to really,
really wow the judges.
639
00:30:01,008 --> 00:30:02,674
All right, mijo,
what did you make us?
640
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:07,012
Bryson: I've made a lamb
with a parmesan crust
641
00:30:07,014 --> 00:30:09,264
And a lima bean succotash.
642
00:30:09,308 --> 00:30:12,684
Visually, I like the courage
to slicing that down
and letting us see it.
643
00:30:12,770 --> 00:30:15,145
- That shows a lot
of confidence, young man.
- Thank you.
644
00:30:15,147 --> 00:30:18,106
- Shall we?
- Let's dig in.
645
00:30:18,108 --> 00:30:20,150
What spice did you use
in the succotash?
646
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:23,529
So with the succotash,
I only used salt, pepper,
647
00:30:23,531 --> 00:30:26,073
And then I added a little bit
of vinegar.
648
00:30:32,414 --> 00:30:34,957
Bryson, it's cooked
beautifully by the way.
649
00:30:34,959 --> 00:30:36,959
- Thank you.
- And you've made the lamb
the hero of the plate
650
00:30:36,961 --> 00:30:39,670
As opposed to the lima beans,
but succotash needs
a bit more heat.
651
00:30:39,672 --> 00:30:43,924
- Mm-hmm.
- It's just on the verge
of being a little bit dull.
652
00:30:43,968 --> 00:30:47,135
Bryson, believe or not,
I'm one of the few chefs
that doesn't like lamb.
653
00:30:47,137 --> 00:30:49,921
And you've made me
a believer of lamb.
654
00:30:49,923 --> 00:30:51,557
You showed a lot of finesse.
655
00:30:51,559 --> 00:30:53,892
You didn't do that kind
of rustic backyard cooking.
656
00:30:53,894 --> 00:30:55,269
This showed a lot of technique.
657
00:30:55,271 --> 00:30:57,271
- So good job.
- Thank you.
658
00:30:57,314 --> 00:30:59,356
This is like garden fresh,
vibrant,
659
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,233
And I love that you hit it
with vinegar.
660
00:31:01,277 --> 00:31:03,402
That would've been
the only miss for me
661
00:31:03,487 --> 00:31:05,237
Is if this dish didn't have
a little bit of acid on it.
662
00:31:05,281 --> 00:31:08,156
And you really nailed that cook
on your least favorite,
663
00:31:08,158 --> 00:31:11,076
But maybe now signature
lima bean dish.
664
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,119
- Nice job.
- Thank you.
665
00:31:12,162 --> 00:31:15,122
- Thanks, bud.
- Nice work.
666
00:31:15,165 --> 00:31:16,999
Nice job, bryson.
667
00:31:17,001 --> 00:31:18,834
- Oh, man.
- Really nice.
668
00:31:18,919 --> 00:31:20,294
Really good.
669
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:23,755
Right, asher, remy,
michael, and bryson.
670
00:31:23,757 --> 00:31:26,249
Tonight you did wonders
with that a plate you hate.
671
00:31:26,260 --> 00:31:30,429
But only one of you can go home
with tonight's incredible prize.
672
00:31:30,472 --> 00:31:32,180
Those e-bikes.
673
00:31:32,266 --> 00:31:37,352
Right now we need a moment.
Please, excuse us.
674
00:31:39,690 --> 00:31:42,232
Good job, guys. Good job.
675
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:44,109
So, asher, I felt that was
a little bit salty,
676
00:31:44,153 --> 00:31:46,153
Especially the olives
and the capers.
It was a step too far.
677
00:31:46,196 --> 00:31:49,281
- Usually you kind of
crush a few and put it in.
- But rolled the pasta.
678
00:31:49,325 --> 00:31:51,617
The pasta was cooked perfectly,
which is hard with fresh.
679
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:54,286
- Gordon: And remy?
- If you could've maybe
seasoned the tomatoes,
680
00:31:54,288 --> 00:31:57,080
- I think it could've
been exceptional.
- It did need seasoning.
681
00:31:57,082 --> 00:32:00,792
- They needed
a little bit of love.
- And michael with the callaloo?
682
00:32:00,794 --> 00:32:02,544
I could taste the mushrooms.
I could taste the squash.
683
00:32:02,588 --> 00:32:03,921
I could taste
the different layers.
684
00:32:03,923 --> 00:32:05,005
Michael cooked a perfect steak.
685
00:32:05,007 --> 00:32:06,048
Yeah. And then bryson?
686
00:32:06,133 --> 00:32:07,299
The succotash was a good format
687
00:32:07,301 --> 00:32:09,551
And a good foundation
for the dish.
688
00:32:09,553 --> 00:32:12,054
- It speaks to the south,
it speaks to who he is.
- Yeah, I agree.
689
00:32:12,056 --> 00:32:13,221
I do like how bold he is though,
690
00:32:13,265 --> 00:32:14,890
Cooking a rack
of lamb like that.
691
00:32:14,892 --> 00:32:16,683
- It's not easy.
- Gordon: No.
692
00:32:16,727 --> 00:32:19,895
- I'm scared.
- Why are we feeling
scared right now?
693
00:32:19,897 --> 00:32:21,313
- We're in the top four.
- No, I was--
694
00:32:21,357 --> 00:32:23,065
Oof.
695
00:32:25,235 --> 00:32:28,028
Right, asher, remy,
michael, bryson, well done.
696
00:32:28,030 --> 00:32:31,239
All four of you are safe
from elimination tonight.
697
00:32:31,283 --> 00:32:33,033
- Yes!
- Well done.
698
00:32:33,035 --> 00:32:36,119
- Nice job.
- Now the young home cook
699
00:32:36,163 --> 00:32:40,332
Who has earned those amazing
e-bikes is...
700
00:32:42,878 --> 00:32:43,877
Michael.
701
00:32:43,963 --> 00:32:46,254
- Yes!
- Congratulations.
702
00:32:46,298 --> 00:32:48,757
- Good job.
- Good job, guys.
703
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:51,009
Young man,
the dish was delicious.
704
00:32:51,053 --> 00:32:53,387
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
Well done.
705
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:56,014
All four of you make your way
up to the balcony.
706
00:32:56,016 --> 00:32:57,391
Thank you.
707
00:32:57,393 --> 00:32:59,893
I'm not only safe
from this challenge,
708
00:32:59,895 --> 00:33:02,854
I get the e-bikes for me
and my family.
709
00:33:02,898 --> 00:33:04,272
I can't wait.
710
00:33:04,316 --> 00:33:07,275
I get one step closer
to making it to the finale.
711
00:33:07,277 --> 00:33:11,029
That is three things.
I am so excited right now.
712
00:33:11,115 --> 00:33:14,783
Right,
lilo, jordyn, and alfred.
713
00:33:14,827 --> 00:33:18,662
We need to take a much closer
look and examine those plates.
714
00:33:18,747 --> 00:33:22,541
First up, lilo,
please make your way down.
Thank you.
715
00:33:22,584 --> 00:33:24,876
I'm really sad
I'm in the bottom three,
716
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,170
But I hope that
the judges appreciate
717
00:33:27,256 --> 00:33:29,381
That I made oysters three ways.
718
00:33:29,425 --> 00:33:31,883
Not a lot of nine-year-olds
can say that.
719
00:33:31,969 --> 00:33:33,218
That is hard.
720
00:33:33,262 --> 00:33:35,095
So, lilo,
what's the dish please?
721
00:33:35,139 --> 00:33:37,556
Lilo:
I made oysters three ways.
722
00:33:37,558 --> 00:33:40,892
I fried the oysters,
I baked the oysters,
723
00:33:40,894 --> 00:33:44,021
And I left the oysters raw
with some sauces.
724
00:33:44,023 --> 00:33:46,231
I love the creativity behind
this dish.
725
00:33:46,316 --> 00:33:49,151
But it's very difficult
frying oysters
726
00:33:49,153 --> 00:33:52,487
Because if they're in there
too long, they become rubbery.
727
00:33:54,033 --> 00:33:55,532
Shall we?
728
00:33:59,913 --> 00:34:03,165
Tell me about the sauce
in the middle. This is
a special sauce, right?
729
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:04,291
Lilo:
Yes, it's a special sauce
730
00:34:04,334 --> 00:34:07,753
That you use to dip
with the tempura.
731
00:34:07,755 --> 00:34:10,964
And this is a sauce
from dad's restaurant, right?
732
00:34:10,966 --> 00:34:12,883
- Yes.
- And what's in there?
733
00:34:12,885 --> 00:34:15,093
- It's a secret.
- Okay.
734
00:34:18,098 --> 00:34:21,933
Lilo, I think what's
quite hard is oysters are
quite salty as they are.
735
00:34:21,935 --> 00:34:25,228
You know, they're from the sea.
And the only thing I found
with the baked oyster
736
00:34:25,272 --> 00:34:27,397
Was maybe just a little bit less
of that miso in that sauce.
737
00:34:27,483 --> 00:34:30,358
- Okay.
- So I tasted the fried oyster,
738
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:33,528
And I did dip it
in your special sauce,
which was the saving grace.
739
00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:36,573
It was acidic and a little
bit sweet and tangy.
Really tasty.
740
00:34:36,658 --> 00:34:38,950
But unfortunately,
this challenge was about
the oysters,
741
00:34:38,952 --> 00:34:42,704
- And I felt the oysters missed
a lot of their flavor.
- Okay.
742
00:34:42,790 --> 00:34:44,498
Young lady, there's not
very many nine-years-olds
743
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:46,166
Out there tonight
cooking oysters three ways.
744
00:34:46,168 --> 00:34:49,711
And so I have to commend
the incredible creativity.
745
00:34:49,797 --> 00:34:53,715
The dish looks good.
Sadly, it doesn't taste
as good as it looks.
746
00:34:53,801 --> 00:34:59,137
As you can see, this oyster
has been cooked for so long,
it's actually disappeared.
747
00:34:59,139 --> 00:35:01,014
So what is left in there
is really rubbery.
748
00:35:01,016 --> 00:35:02,307
So it's such a shame.
749
00:35:02,392 --> 00:35:05,477
The intentions were there,
but it's missed a mark.
750
00:35:05,479 --> 00:35:08,021
Thank you, darling.
751
00:35:08,023 --> 00:35:11,149
Yeah, such a shame.
I mean, they're really rubbery.
752
00:35:11,193 --> 00:35:13,902
It's okay, lilo.
You did really good.
753
00:35:13,987 --> 00:35:18,740
Next up, alfred,
please come on down.
754
00:35:18,742 --> 00:35:21,868
Gordon likes his steak
medium rare,
755
00:35:21,912 --> 00:35:26,164
And I'm worried my steak
might be a bit overcooked
from medium rare.
756
00:35:26,166 --> 00:35:28,416
Hopefully my bleu cheese butter
757
00:35:28,451 --> 00:35:30,377
Is enough to keep me
in the competition.
758
00:35:30,420 --> 00:35:32,712
So, alfred,
please describe your dish.
759
00:35:32,714 --> 00:35:37,759
I've made a new york strip with
a bleu cheese compound butter
760
00:35:37,761 --> 00:35:39,678
With roasted romanesco.
761
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:42,639
Visually, I kind of wish that
that butter had melted
a little bit more
762
00:35:42,683 --> 00:35:45,684
Over that steak
so you know we'll get to taste
that bleu cheese throughout.
763
00:35:45,686 --> 00:35:47,519
Did you just add the extra
bleu cheese just--
764
00:35:47,563 --> 00:35:50,147
- Just for funsies.
- Just for fun.
765
00:35:50,149 --> 00:35:52,023
- Okay.
- Shall we?
766
00:35:52,109 --> 00:35:53,859
Now temperature-wise,
what have you done?
767
00:35:53,902 --> 00:35:56,153
Um...
768
00:35:56,155 --> 00:35:59,197
Mid-rare? Medium?
Earth to alfred.
769
00:35:59,241 --> 00:36:00,365
Uh...
770
00:36:01,869 --> 00:36:03,618
I-- I--
771
00:36:05,330 --> 00:36:10,083
So, alfred, let's see
if this is mid-rare.
772
00:36:12,212 --> 00:36:13,211
And...
773
00:36:25,142 --> 00:36:30,395
So, alfred, let's see
if this is mid-rare.
774
00:36:32,316 --> 00:36:33,440
And...
775
00:36:36,737 --> 00:36:39,321
...That is slightly mid-well.
776
00:36:48,665 --> 00:36:53,293
Right, the bleu cheese
compound butter,
that's actually delicious.
777
00:36:53,378 --> 00:36:56,004
Sadly the steak
is a touch overcooked.
778
00:36:56,006 --> 00:36:59,299
So the bit you hated,
you actually got right.
779
00:36:59,343 --> 00:37:01,218
The bit that I expected
you to cook coming from a farm,
780
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:04,763
I thought you'd
cook a new york strip
better than that.
781
00:37:04,765 --> 00:37:06,848
Alfred, I agree.
I think it was a perfect
amount of bleu cheese
782
00:37:06,892 --> 00:37:08,266
And it wasn't overpowering.
783
00:37:08,268 --> 00:37:10,018
I do think a little bit
of that butter that you made
784
00:37:10,062 --> 00:37:13,772
In the pan to baste it
would really help just
bring out that flavor.
785
00:37:13,815 --> 00:37:16,983
But you did manage to
incorporate what you hate
into that very well,
786
00:37:16,985 --> 00:37:18,568
So I think that was a good job.
787
00:37:18,570 --> 00:37:21,780
Alfred, the romanesco,
this is such a yummy side dish.
788
00:37:21,782 --> 00:37:24,783
It really freshens up
the plate because
it's beautifully grilled.
789
00:37:24,785 --> 00:37:28,536
I love the acidity on there.
I think it's really balanced and
the cook could've been better,
790
00:37:28,580 --> 00:37:31,748
But I think you surprised
yourself at how much
you might've liked bleu cheese.
791
00:37:31,833 --> 00:37:33,250
Thank you, alfred.
792
00:37:36,088 --> 00:37:37,837
- Listen, the butter
tasted good by the way.
- It did. It really did.
793
00:37:37,923 --> 00:37:41,967
- Gordon: Right?
- All right, the last
home cook is jordyn.
794
00:37:42,010 --> 00:37:42,926
Please come up.
795
00:37:42,970 --> 00:37:46,554
I still do not like kale.
796
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,892
But the thing that
I'm nervous about is my fish,
797
00:37:50,894 --> 00:37:53,019
Because I don't want it
to be overcooked.
798
00:37:53,105 --> 00:37:56,731
I made a cornmeal fried sole
799
00:37:56,817 --> 00:38:02,570
With roasted sweet potatoes,
kale chips, and bacon kale stew.
800
00:38:02,656 --> 00:38:05,240
Jordyn, I like to see
that you used the kale twice.
801
00:38:05,242 --> 00:38:09,119
I think that definitely showed
a lot of desire to play
with the versatility of kale.
802
00:38:09,162 --> 00:38:10,787
I think you have good color
on the fish.
803
00:38:10,831 --> 00:38:13,707
I am a little bit nervous just
because sole cooks so fast
804
00:38:13,792 --> 00:38:16,876
And it looks like it might be
a little bit dry to me.
805
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,253
But I'm eager to try it.
806
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:21,172
Shall we?
How did you cook the fish?
807
00:38:21,258 --> 00:38:24,134
I put it in the pan
for about seven minutes.
808
00:38:24,177 --> 00:38:25,427
Daphne:
Oh, seven minutes. Okay.
809
00:38:31,685 --> 00:38:35,562
Jordyn, first of all,
I love the fact
that you did kale two ways.
810
00:38:35,564 --> 00:38:40,608
Sadly the crispy kale
is a little bit greasy
and it needs seasoning.
811
00:38:40,694 --> 00:38:42,986
The braised kale
is actually quite delicious.
812
00:38:42,988 --> 00:38:44,779
Sadly, the fish
is way overcooked.
813
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:47,449
It's really dry.
What a shame.
814
00:38:47,534 --> 00:38:50,660
Jordyn, I do think the fish
is a little bit under seasoned
and overcooked,
815
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:52,829
But for me my favorite
was that stewed kale.
816
00:38:52,873 --> 00:38:56,166
It's cooked really nicely
and you've got that good bacon
flavor going through it.
817
00:38:56,251 --> 00:38:58,710
- Good job.
- Thank you.
818
00:38:58,712 --> 00:39:00,920
I got to say that stew,
delicious.
819
00:39:01,006 --> 00:39:03,173
But I wish you would've
just removed the fish,
820
00:39:03,258 --> 00:39:05,884
A couple knobs of butter
and just lemon juice,
821
00:39:05,886 --> 00:39:07,260
And just give it
that little "oomph."
822
00:39:07,262 --> 00:39:10,180
Thank you.
Yeah, what a shame.
823
00:39:10,223 --> 00:39:12,265
'cause this thing
is just so greasy, the kale.
824
00:39:12,267 --> 00:39:14,225
- Tilly: So crispy, but--
- really crispy.
825
00:39:14,269 --> 00:39:16,061
- Just greasy.
- Yeah.
826
00:39:16,897 --> 00:39:19,022
Now, lilo, alfred, jordyn,
827
00:39:19,024 --> 00:39:21,900
Sadly one of you
will be going home shortly.
828
00:39:21,902 --> 00:39:24,819
But the four of us
right now need to have
a very serious chat,
829
00:39:24,905 --> 00:39:28,198
'cause this is gonna be
a very tough decision.
Please excuse us.
830
00:39:32,746 --> 00:39:33,995
You guys did a good job.
831
00:39:35,499 --> 00:39:39,542
So tonight they all had to cook
with ingredients they hated.
832
00:39:39,544 --> 00:39:41,869
Lilo, super creative.
Oyster three ways.
833
00:39:41,871 --> 00:39:43,505
But talk about
an ingredient you dislike
834
00:39:43,548 --> 00:39:45,924
And it's also probably the most
challenging one to get right.
835
00:39:45,967 --> 00:39:48,885
- The tempura oysters,
definitely mine was--
- it disappeared.
836
00:39:48,970 --> 00:39:50,970
She should've fried one off,
eaten that,
837
00:39:51,014 --> 00:39:52,931
And then seen if she needed
to adjust and go again.
838
00:39:52,933 --> 00:39:56,518
If she'd executed it,
it would've been the star dish
of this evening.
839
00:39:56,561 --> 00:39:59,562
Yeah, I agree.
Alfred. Great idea
with the compound butter.
840
00:39:59,606 --> 00:40:02,107
You'd say though the star
was really the bleu cheese.
841
00:40:02,150 --> 00:40:04,109
The second star,
the costar was the steak,
842
00:40:04,152 --> 00:40:05,485
And unfortunately
he overcooked it.
843
00:40:05,529 --> 00:40:08,530
A little bit overcooked.
Jordyn. The kale.
844
00:40:08,573 --> 00:40:10,156
The crispy one
didn't work for me.
The braised one did.
845
00:40:10,158 --> 00:40:12,200
Aarón:
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
846
00:40:12,202 --> 00:40:15,870
I don't want any of
them to go home. All of them
are amazing chefs.
847
00:40:15,914 --> 00:40:16,871
- We all in agreeance?
- Aarón: Yup.
848
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:18,748
- Yeah.
- Shall we?
849
00:40:28,593 --> 00:40:30,260
Lilo, alfred, and jordyn,
850
00:40:30,303 --> 00:40:32,095
This has been
a very difficult decision
851
00:40:32,139 --> 00:40:34,848
And we are absolutely
heartbroken
852
00:40:34,891 --> 00:40:36,766
Of this individual
leaving the competition.
853
00:40:36,810 --> 00:40:41,438
The young home cook
that will be going home is...
854
00:40:46,445 --> 00:40:48,153
Lilo.
855
00:40:48,155 --> 00:40:51,156
Alfred and jordyn,
please say goodbye to lilo
856
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,991
And head upstairs please.
857
00:40:53,034 --> 00:40:54,659
Thank you.
858
00:40:54,661 --> 00:41:00,832
Lilo, what a courageous attempt
to overcome your fears tonight.
859
00:41:00,834 --> 00:41:02,667
We got excited
with oysters three ways,
860
00:41:02,669 --> 00:41:06,796
But three ways is three times
harder than one good way.
861
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:10,216
Lilo, you blew me away day one
with those flying noodles.
862
00:41:10,260 --> 00:41:12,051
I've never actually seen
anything quite like it,
863
00:41:12,095 --> 00:41:16,806
So it's something
I'm definitely gonna remember
for a long time.
864
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:18,850
You did. You brought
the magic from day one.
865
00:41:18,894 --> 00:41:20,935
I love how you're showing
creativity,
866
00:41:20,979 --> 00:41:23,313
You're showing a willingness
to experiment and to play.
867
00:41:23,356 --> 00:41:27,859
And I hope you will always do
that because that's how you're
gonna reach that pinnacle,
868
00:41:27,903 --> 00:41:29,694
And I can't wait to see
what comes next.
869
00:41:29,779 --> 00:41:33,948
Definitely.
You've done your family
restaurant so proud.
870
00:41:33,992 --> 00:41:36,659
And we know that soon,
you're gonna take over
those reins, right?
871
00:41:36,703 --> 00:41:38,661
- Yes.
- Come and say goodbye,
please, my darling.
872
00:41:38,663 --> 00:41:41,372
- Give us a hug, please. Okay?
- Well done, lilo.
873
00:41:41,458 --> 00:41:42,749
Love you, girl.
874
00:41:42,834 --> 00:41:45,543
Lilo: I feel pretty sad,
but I am happy
875
00:41:45,629 --> 00:41:47,504
Because out of billions
of people,
876
00:41:47,547 --> 00:41:50,256
- I made it this far.
- Bye, lilo.
877
00:41:50,258 --> 00:41:52,217
- You were awesome!
- Gordon: Great job.
878
00:41:52,260 --> 00:41:54,511
Take care, my darling.
Good night.
879
00:41:54,554 --> 00:41:58,139
- Bye, lilo!
- When I first came
to masterchef,
880
00:41:58,141 --> 00:42:00,892
I was just a little helper
helping my family
in the restaurant.
881
00:42:00,894 --> 00:42:05,855
But now I think my family
is gonna finally hire me
as a head chef.
882
00:42:05,857 --> 00:42:08,733
- Bye, lilo!
- Bye!
883
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,490
Gordon: Next time,
things get a little sticky.
884
00:42:15,492 --> 00:42:17,283
( squealing )
885
00:42:17,327 --> 00:42:19,953
We have not one,
but two sweet challenges.
886
00:42:19,996 --> 00:42:22,747
- Two?
- First up, we're having
a pancake race.
887
00:42:22,832 --> 00:42:24,249
We got to pump 'em!
Let's go!
888
00:42:24,292 --> 00:42:26,042
- Help, help, help. Michael.
- Fix it, fix it.
889
00:42:26,044 --> 00:42:27,752
- How long do we have?
- Time is up.
890
00:42:27,796 --> 00:42:31,047
Now you're all gonna have
to make ice cream desserts.
891
00:42:31,049 --> 00:42:33,883
- Now time to make
the ice cream!
- ( thunder )
892
00:42:33,918 --> 00:42:35,093
( laughing maniacally,
coughing )
893
00:42:35,136 --> 00:42:37,178
But with elimination
on the line...
894
00:42:37,264 --> 00:42:39,264
- Ooh!
- This is so stressful.
895
00:42:39,266 --> 00:42:42,350
- Oh, man.
- ...It won't all
be sugary sweet.
896
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:46,187
I'm disappointed with this.
Say goodbye.
