00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:01,667
-Come on.
-Yeah

2
00:00:01,667 --> 00:00:03,600
Eighteen world-famous chefs
are joining forces

3
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,300
in the most extreme team
competition ever devised.

4
00:00:06,300 --> 00:00:07,667
-Y'all ready to lose?
-Oh.

5
00:00:07,667 --> 00:00:09,000
-This is crazy.
-But here's the catch.

6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,200
<i>Only one chef will know</i>
<i>what the challenge is.</i>

7
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,467
-What?
-[Guy] <i>And the teammates</i>
<i>can't cook together...</i>

8
00:00:13,467 --> 00:00:16,200
-Move it!
<i>-...or even talk</i>
<i>to one another.</i>

9
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,700
In the icehouse. Adios.

10
00:00:18,467 --> 00:00:19,567
This is the thing
of nightmares.

11
00:00:19,567 --> 00:00:20,800
All right, let's go!

12
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,700
-Come on.
-Yeah. What is happening here?

13
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:24,767
[Guy] <i>They won't know</i>
<i>what they're looking for</i>
<i>unless you leave them a clue.</i>

14
00:00:24,767 --> 00:00:25,667
Oh, no.

15
00:00:25,667 --> 00:00:27,467
[Guy] <i>Will teamwork make</i>
<i>the dream work?</i>

16
00:00:27,467 --> 00:00:29,367
-Wow.
-No way!

17
00:00:29,367 --> 00:00:31,600
That's the $60,000 question.

18
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:36,700
<i>The second heat of Triple G's</i>

Nice color choices.

35
00:01:18,967 --> 00:01:21,166
-I mean, we're just here
to win.
-That's it.

36
00:01:21,166 --> 00:01:22,467
Says it right on our aprons.

37
00:01:22,467 --> 00:01:26,467
All right. Get ready
because the opponents
that are coming up,

00:01:26,467 --> 00:01:29,000
they've made waves
in the culinary world as well.

You say you're ready to lose?

44
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,066
-That's good. That's good.
-I said,

50
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Someone asked for a moustache.

[Dale]
<i>That's a stacked roster.</i>

52
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,300
<i>I mean, when I heard</i>
<i>who I was cooking with</i>
<i>I was like,</i>

53
00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:04,100
"What could go wrong? Oh,

54

It's Guy's Grocery Games."

55
00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:08,166
[all] Everything can go wrong.

56
00:02:08,166 --> 00:02:09,800
[Guy] Look at all
the elite chefs.

57
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,166
I gotta tell you,
it's impressive
that I was able to somehow

58
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,100
bamboozle you into
doing this competition

59
00:02:15,100 --> 00:02:17,900
'cause this one, hiya.

60
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,200
<i>A dozen other celebrated chefs</i>

-Yes. Whoo!

64
00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:32,467
[Guy] <i>Tonight's winning team</i>
<i>will have to go through</i>
<i>the TOC Champs</i>

65
00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:34,100
to get a shot
at the championship

66
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:36,266
and the guaranteed
small purse,

67
00:02:36,266 --> 00:02:38,166
not that big of a deal.

68
00:02:38,166 --> 00:02:41,100
Just $60,000
to the winning team.

69
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:42,667
-Let's go.
-[Crista] Don't worry.
We got it.

70
00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:44,567
Let me break the competition
down for you, folks.

71
00:02:44,567 --> 00:02:47,667
30 minutes to shop, prepare
and plate a specific dish.

72
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,066
That's gonna be easy,
though, right?

73
00:02:49,066 --> 00:02:51,567
Wrong? No, Because see,
none of you are
gonna be working

74
00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:53,600
at the same time
as your team members.

75
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Instead, you're gonna
be working in like
a tag-team style.

76
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:58,033
10 minute shifts.

77
00:02:58,033 --> 00:03:01,400
Now, the first chef
is gonna shop
for the ingredients

78
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,000
and prepare them
for the next chef.

79
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,900
The next chef will come in
for their 10-minute shift
and they'll cook like crazy.

80
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:08,166
And then that third chef
will have to come in and plate

81
00:03:08,166 --> 00:03:11,066
and present the dish
to the judges.
But there's one catch.

82
00:03:11,066 --> 00:03:15,567
-Only the first chef
will be told the dish details.
-Ooh.

83
00:03:15,567 --> 00:03:18,266
When that shift is over,
you will go stand
in the icebox,

84
00:03:18,266 --> 00:03:22,100
<i>and you get to conveniently</i>
<i>watch your fellow chefs</i>
<i>and competitors,</i>

85
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:23,967
<i>but not be able to communicate</i>
<i>the dish.</i>

86
00:03:23,967 --> 00:03:26,667
-Let me out.
-This is so nerve-racking.
Come on.

87
00:03:26,667 --> 00:03:27,867
[groans]

88
00:03:27,867 --> 00:03:29,166
-That's great. Thanks.
-Love that.

89
00:03:29,166 --> 00:03:31,900
I mean, no one's ever said
communication's important.
It's fine.

90
00:03:31,900 --> 00:03:36,100
Chefs, you're gonna need
to be part private chef
and part private eye

91
00:03:36,100 --> 00:03:37,767
because you're gonna have
to study the clues

92
00:03:37,767 --> 00:03:39,767
that the chefs before you
have left

93
00:03:39,767 --> 00:03:43,567
to identify what the dish is.
Feel good. Great.

94
00:03:43,567 --> 00:03:45,667
What I'd like you to do now,
huddle amongst yourselves,

95
00:03:45,667 --> 00:03:49,066
talk about yourselves,
make your decisions of who
you'd like to have shop.

96
00:03:49,066 --> 00:03:50,266
I'm really good at planning.

97
00:03:50,266 --> 00:03:51,867
-All right.
-Okay. So you shop.

98
00:03:51,867 --> 00:03:54,100
-I shop.
-Pretty good prep guy,
so I'll go second.

99
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:55,867
-I'll tie up
all the loose ends.
-We need to play this game.

100
00:03:55,867 --> 00:03:58,066
Yeah, I'm, like,
super comfortable
with the shop.

101
00:03:58,066 --> 00:04:00,567
-Yeah. We got it.
-So I'll take the shop.
I'll take the shop.

102
00:04:00,567 --> 00:04:02,367
[Jonathan] You're a workhorse.
You're gonna drive it.

103
00:04:02,367 --> 00:04:04,667
-I think you gotta go second
and I'll come in and close.
-Okay.

104
00:04:04,667 --> 00:04:06,667
I'll be...
I'll decipher the tea leaves.

105
00:04:06,667 --> 00:04:09,166
All right,
so what's it gonna be?
Over to the Award Winners?

106
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:10,600
I'm gonna be the shopper.

107
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,467
-This is my hometown store,
and these guys maybe don't...
-[Guy] Chef.

108
00:04:12,467 --> 00:04:15,767
And you... We do know
you know how to shop.
We do now, Chef.

109
00:04:15,767 --> 00:04:17,300
Uh, over to the DC All-Stars.

110
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,333
-I'm shopping.
-[Guy] Shopping?

111
00:04:18,333 --> 00:04:20,300
-You're shopping all day.
-Born for this, y'all.

112
00:04:20,300 --> 00:04:21,867
Who is gonna be going
in second?

113
00:04:21,867 --> 00:04:23,166
Rocco's going second.

114
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:25,000
-Yes.
-For the Award Winners.

115
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,900
Okay, and over
at <i>Top Chef</i> All-Stars.

116
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:28,266
-Dale is going second.
-Dale.

117
00:04:28,266 --> 00:04:31,000
Okay, so that leaves us
for the follow up.

118
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,867
Sir Sawyer and Moustache Man.

119
00:04:32,867 --> 00:04:34,000
You guys are gonna
be doing cleanup.

120
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
You've gotta figure out
what it is,

121
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,867
and you've gotta be ready
to present it to the judges.

122
00:04:37,867 --> 00:04:40,000
And by the way, those judges,
no slouch themselves.

123
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,467
I mean, they kinda have
some high expectations.

124
00:04:42,467 --> 00:04:44,967
All right? You chefs,
through the double doors,

125
00:04:44,967 --> 00:04:46,800
-you will get notified
when your shift begins.
-Good luck.

126
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,066
-You got this.
-You got this.

127
00:04:48,066 --> 00:04:49,166
You know you can do it.

128
00:04:49,166 --> 00:04:50,233
You on the other hand, cannot.

129
00:04:50,233 --> 00:04:53,767
-Nobody asked you, Rocco.
-Get lost in the store.

130
00:04:53,767 --> 00:04:55,200
[Rocco] Good luck. Good luck.

131
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,867
Listen up, chefs.
We're gonna cut
right to the chase.

132
00:04:58,867 --> 00:05:01,567
Just make the judges
a classic food duo.

133
00:05:01,567 --> 00:05:03,100
-Okay.
-What?

134
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,467
I'm gonna let you choose.
Hunter, come on out, buddy.

135
00:05:05,467 --> 00:05:07,767
-Oh.
-I'm gonna...
No, I'm the helper.

136
00:05:07,767 --> 00:05:09,867
I'm the helper.
'Cause you know
how hard it would be

137
00:05:09,867 --> 00:05:11,266
to start thinking
about these duos?

138
00:05:11,266 --> 00:05:14,734
-Hunter, what do you have
available in the duo category?
-Hi, Chefs.

139
00:05:17,500 --> 00:05:18,500
-What?
-Making these too easy.

140
00:05:18,500 --> 00:05:21,533
-Well, burger and fries.
-I mean, I'll take it.

141
00:05:22,066 --> 00:05:23,567
-Fish and chips.
-Okay.

142
00:05:23,567 --> 00:05:25,066
My favorite.

143
00:05:25,066 --> 00:05:26,433
Spaghetti and meatballs.

144
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:28,133
Okay.

145
00:05:28,133 --> 00:05:31,867
-[Guy] So, Hunter,
you wanna take them over?
-Okay. Take your pick.

146
00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:34,867
-Oh. Your thumbs on this one.
-[laughs]

147
00:05:34,867 --> 00:05:37,400
-I'm gonna take this one.
-[Guy] So, let's take a look.

148
00:05:38,367 --> 00:05:39,767
Well, there you go.
Burger and fries.

149
00:05:39,767 --> 00:05:40,967
Spaghetti and meatballs.

150
00:05:40,967 --> 00:05:44,133
I think that
the interpretation
of spaghetti and meatballs

151
00:05:44,767 --> 00:05:46,567
can go
in different directions.

152
00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:49,567
Well, wouldn't that just
be interesting?

153
00:05:49,567 --> 00:05:53,166
-Oh, God.
-[Guy] Mmm. Pros like you
thinking up good ideas.

154
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:55,700
I was just gonna say
let's just go
with spaghetti and meatballs.

155
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:59,066
But you know what?
Subject to interpretation.
How about we do this?

156
00:05:59,066 --> 00:06:00,834
How about pros like you...

157
00:06:01,867 --> 00:06:03,100
...don't even need proteins?

158
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:07,133
No, no, 'cause I want you
to make us
your meatless version

159
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:09,000
of your chosen duo.

160
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,467
-Huh? Huh?
-[laughing]

161
00:06:11,467 --> 00:06:15,100
-Okay.
-[Guy] You have 10 minutes
to shop for the ingredients

162
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:18,567
and prepare
a vegetarian duo-over

163
00:06:18,567 --> 00:06:22,467
that your teammates
must complete
in the total of 30 minutes.

164
00:06:22,467 --> 00:06:25,667
Just remember, you've got
three people on your team.

165
00:06:25,667 --> 00:06:28,100
Two of you are battling out,
and one of you
is gonna go home.

166
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:29,500
What?

167
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:32,567
-Oh, my god!
-Move it.

168
00:06:32,567 --> 00:06:34,100
[Guy] <i>I think</i>
<i>out of the two things,</i>

169
00:06:34,100 --> 00:06:36,367
<i>spaghetti and meatballs</i>
<i>and burger and fries,</i>

170
00:06:36,367 --> 00:06:37,467
<i>I think there's a lot</i>
<i>of things you can do.</i>

171
00:06:37,467 --> 00:06:40,200
You can... You can make
a patty out of beans and rice,

172
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,867
<i>and then the meatballs</i>
<i>I mean, we've got TVP.</i>

173
00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:44,266
<i>We've got all kinds of things</i>
<i>that could make</i>
<i>it really seitan.</i>

174
00:06:44,266 --> 00:06:46,433
There's all kinds of things
that could make
a really good meatball.

175
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:49,266
Award Winners
is what it says here.

176
00:06:49,266 --> 00:06:51,467
[bleep] I think America
knows me most
because I'm one of the most

177
00:06:51,467 --> 00:06:53,900
<i>winningest chefs</i>
<i>here on Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

178
00:06:53,900 --> 00:06:56,100
<i>And then also</i>
<i>that Michelin Bib Gourmand,</i>

179
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,700
<i>I got that</i>
<i>a couple years running,</i>

180
00:06:57,700 --> 00:06:59,967
And my wife thinks
I'm a winner.

181
00:06:59,967 --> 00:07:02,300
So I'm pretty sure
this qualifies.

182
00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:04,700
Where's the fake meat?
Where's the fake meat?

183
00:07:04,700 --> 00:07:08,467
<i>I've got burger and fries,</i>
<i>but the twist</i>
<i>is no animal protein.</i>

184
00:07:08,467 --> 00:07:12,066
<i>So my strategy is to build</i>
<i>this sort of vegetarian,</i>

185
00:07:12,066 --> 00:07:15,767
<i>bacon mushroom Swiss burger,</i>

186
00:07:15,767 --> 00:07:19,200
<i>and to build as much flavor</i>
<i>without using meat.</i>

187
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,800
<i>I find plant-based chorizo.</i>

188
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:27,000
Right. So now I've got, like,
"three kinds"
of meatless meat working.

189
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,867
Gotta have buns.
<i>And then I don't want to just</i>
<i>give a classic French fry</i>

190
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:32,166
<i>'cause this is</i>
<i>an All-Stars competition.</i>

191
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:33,867
So I wanna go with
a sweet potato fry.

192
00:07:33,867 --> 00:07:35,767
Get onions.

193
00:07:35,767 --> 00:07:38,266
<i>I've really tried to be smart</i>
<i>about the shop,</i>

194
00:07:38,266 --> 00:07:39,467
<i>give them only</i>
<i>what they needed</i>

195
00:07:39,467 --> 00:07:41,000
<i>and not too much room</i>
<i>for error.</i>

196
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,567
-So I guess it's up to me
to figure it out, huh? Yeah.
-Yeah.

197
00:07:43,567 --> 00:07:46,300
This is a killer team.
We are the Award Winners.

198
00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:48,767
<i>Rocco DiSpirito,</i>
<i>incredibly talented,</i>

199
00:07:48,767 --> 00:07:50,667
<i>-and then my boy,</i>
<i>Jonathan Sawyer...</i>
<i>-Whoo.</i>

200
00:07:50,667 --> 00:07:53,100
...a fellow Midwesterner,
and he's a crusher.

201
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:56,834
Like, we are going in strong
and we are gonna take
this baby home.

202
00:07:58,567 --> 00:08:00,367
[Kelsey] <i>Even though I'm</i>
<i>a</i> Top Chef <i>All-Star</i>

203
00:08:00,367 --> 00:08:01,900
<i>and I've been on Triple G</i>
<i>multiple times,</i>

204
00:08:01,900 --> 00:08:04,300
competing in a team
where you're
not communicating,

205
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:05,467
that's a little tough.

206
00:08:05,467 --> 00:08:07,900
<i>To win, we need big,</i>
<i>bold flavors.</i>

207
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:10,000
<i>So my first thought</i>
<i>is Dandan Noodles.</i>

208
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,567
<i>There's a lot</i>
<i>of the flavor there,</i>

209
00:08:11,567 --> 00:08:14,600
and it is one of my
very favorite meals.

210
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,767
<i>It's sort of like</i>
<i>a Chinese Sichuan meat sauce</i>
<i>with noodles,</i>

211
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:19,900
<i>similar to a ragu.</i>

212
00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:22,200
<i>So there's that nod</i>
<i>to the spaghetti</i>
<i>and meatballs,</i>

213
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,400
<i>but tying it in</i>
<i>with other flavors.</i>

214
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,767
<i>The kicker is we</i>
<i>can't use meat,</i>

215
00:08:26,767 --> 00:08:28,800
<i>so I'm gonna go</i>
<i>with Asian ingredients</i>

216
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,367
<i>that will add umami</i>
<i>where sometimes</i>
<i>that will be lacking</i>

217
00:08:31,367 --> 00:08:32,800
<i>when you're not using meats.</i>

218
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,767
<i>So that's gonna be things like</i>
<i>sesame paste, soy sauce,</i>
<i>chili crunch.</i>

219
00:08:36,767 --> 00:08:42,200
It all gives the vibe
and the feel that you have
meat in this dish.

220
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,567
<i>The pressure is on</i>
<i>for me again.</i>

221
00:08:43,567 --> 00:08:46,200
<i>As a shopper,</i>
<i>I need to make this clear.</i>

222
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,700
So actually dawns on me, like,
we all grew up with canned
spaghetti and meatballs.

223
00:08:50,700 --> 00:08:54,200
And I'm like, "What better way
to tell them to do than
to be like,

224
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,100
<i>Do that, but meatless."</i>

225
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,700
That's my sign for them.

226
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,500
[laughs]

227
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:02,367
-[Kelsey] Well, why not?
-I hope they...
But I hope they don't use it.

228
00:09:02,367 --> 00:09:04,266
They can't. They cannot.

229
00:09:04,266 --> 00:09:06,500
[Kelsey] <i>Winning this is...</i>
<i>it's a big deal.</i>

230
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:09,166
It's the best of the best,
and we're here
to beat the best.

231
00:09:09,166 --> 00:09:10,667
[Guy] Let's meet
the esteemed trio

232
00:09:10,667 --> 00:09:13,000
who will be judging
these vegetarian duos.

233
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,700
First, we have
the celebrated author

234
00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:18,000
and star
of the Emmy-nominated
<i>Ready Jet Cook,</i>

235
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,166
Alli's husband, Chef Jet Tila.

236
00:09:20,166 --> 00:09:22,600
<i>Top Chef</i> Winner
and James Beard Award winner,

237
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,500
the one and only,
"Mom of Ernie,"

238
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:26,767
<i>-Iron Chef</i> Stephanie Izard.
-[Michael] Whoo.

239
00:09:26,767 --> 00:09:30,667
And rock star restaurateur
and fellow <i>Top Chef</i> winner,

240
00:09:30,667 --> 00:09:32,367
the one and only
Chef Michael Voltaggio.

241
00:09:32,367 --> 00:09:35,300
For me, this is more about
following the clues
than anything else.

242
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:38,367
The communication
from the original shopper
is the key.

243
00:09:38,367 --> 00:09:40,233
-That gameplay is huge.
-[Jet] Yeah.

244
00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:41,867
[Guy] Five minutes.

245
00:09:41,867 --> 00:09:43,266
[Crista] <i>I don't have</i>
<i>a whole lot of time to cook,</i>

246
00:09:43,266 --> 00:09:45,667
so I wanna try to get
as many things started
as I can

247
00:09:45,667 --> 00:09:48,367
<i>so that Rocco can come in here</i>
<i>and knock it out.</i>

248
00:09:48,367 --> 00:09:51,166
<i>So first I wanna immediately</i>
<i>start on my French fries.</i>

249
00:09:51,166 --> 00:09:52,700
<i>I know I want to blanch those.</i>

250
00:09:52,700 --> 00:09:55,000
As much as I love
sweet potatoes...

251
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:55,967
[Crista] Don't say it, Jet.

252
00:09:55,967 --> 00:09:58,100
...I really worry
they'll get crispy enough.

253
00:09:58,100 --> 00:10:01,667
Yeah. I mean,
you almost have to like fry,
cook, hold,

254
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,266
forever dehydrate,
just not my jam.

255
00:10:04,266 --> 00:10:05,467
I'm gonna blanch.

256
00:10:05,467 --> 00:10:07,400
I... I'm like,
"I wanna stay my course."

257
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,967
<i>I don't wanna just give</i>
<i>a regular russet</i>
<i>French fry.</i>

258
00:10:10,967 --> 00:10:13,900
<i>But just to ensure that I get</i>
<i>some good crisp on them.</i>

259
00:10:13,900 --> 00:10:16,600
<i>After I blanch them,</i>
<i>I toss them in a bowl</i>

260
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,166
<i>with some cornstarch,</i>
<i>some salt,</i>

261
00:10:19,166 --> 00:10:21,166
bringing, like,
a lot of seasoning
to the party

262
00:10:21,166 --> 00:10:22,467
and a little bit of snap.

263
00:10:22,467 --> 00:10:24,467
Meatless meat.

264
00:10:24,467 --> 00:10:27,600
<i>To make a really</i>
<i>delicious burger and fries,</i>

265
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,867
it's hard not to have
animal protein,

266
00:10:29,867 --> 00:10:33,066
<i>so I'm putting a bunch</i>
<i>of butter into my mushrooms.</i>

267
00:10:33,066 --> 00:10:34,634
[Stephanie]
Love my tacky mushrooms.

268
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:37,266
That brings such good,
earthy layer of flavor when
you're subbing in for meat.

269
00:10:37,266 --> 00:10:42,100
[Crista] <i>And build as much</i>
<i>meaty flavor</i>
<i>without using meat.</i>

270
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,467
The fake meat,
it's gonna get mixed
with soyrizo

271
00:10:44,467 --> 00:10:45,967
-and have bacon on top.
-[Guy] Okay.

272
00:10:45,967 --> 00:10:47,400
Got it. Got it.
Got it. Got it.

273
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,100
[Michael] She's really gonna
have a chance to, like,
change the flavor

274
00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:52,467
-of that "meatless meat."
-[Jet] Yeah.

275
00:10:52,467 --> 00:10:54,500
Then, honestly, they might not
even know
that that's not meat.

276
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:55,767
[Crista] And then I wanna
start patting this out

277
00:10:55,767 --> 00:10:59,467
'cause I want Rocco
to, for sure, know
that this is a burger.

278
00:10:59,467 --> 00:11:02,266
Not like a Sloppy Joe
or not a meatball.

279
00:11:02,266 --> 00:11:03,867
[Michael] She's already got
the patties for him.

280
00:11:03,867 --> 00:11:05,367
She's already got
mushrooms cooking.

281
00:11:05,367 --> 00:11:07,767
-[Jet] Yeah.
-Crista, I have never
seen anyone

282
00:11:07,767 --> 00:11:09,700
get that much work done
in that short period of time.

283
00:11:09,700 --> 00:11:11,900
-Thank you, Chef.
-[Jet] You are
a machine, Chef.

284
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:13,600
Two minutes.

285
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,066
[Kelsey] <i>There's a lot of ways</i>
<i>to get flavor in dishes</i>
<i>without using meat products.</i>

286
00:11:17,066 --> 00:11:20,066
So I'm gonna start sauteing
these mushroom pieces

287
00:11:20,066 --> 00:11:22,200
that then will be added
later together.

288
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,066
-Oh, hi, I'm not doing
something normal.
-Hi.

289
00:11:25,066 --> 00:11:26,467
I'm getting Dandan noodles.

290
00:11:26,467 --> 00:11:27,867
Ooh, I like that.

291
00:11:27,867 --> 00:11:29,266
Are you gonna make
a Dandan meatball?

292
00:11:29,266 --> 00:11:31,567
You know, does it have
to be meatball?

293
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:33,867
I would think if it says
meatballs on there,

294
00:11:33,867 --> 00:11:36,000
you're gonna probably wanna
make sure
that it's a meatball.

295
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,500
Okay. Well, yeah,
I think I could, 100%.

296
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:42,367
I'm really nervous
about this Dandan play,
'cause while it's meat laden

297
00:11:42,367 --> 00:11:46,767
as we all know,
there's no very specific
formed meatball there.

298
00:11:46,767 --> 00:11:50,000
[Kelsey] <i>I'm thinking</i>
<i>you could add</i>
<i>the meatless sauce,</i>

299
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,367
<i>but then have a meatless ball</i>
<i>that's also in there as well.</i>

300
00:11:53,367 --> 00:11:56,166
<i>I'm really hoping that</i>
<i>when Dale reads this</i>
<i>he sees,</i>

301
00:11:56,166 --> 00:11:58,100
like, "Oh, she's started
my base for my meatballs."

302
00:11:58,100 --> 00:12:00,066
Thirty-five seconds.

303
00:12:00,066 --> 00:12:02,367
Do you feel that you've
gotten good road maps?

304
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:05,066
[Kelsey] <i>My plan was always</i>
to have a pantry section like,

305
00:12:05,066 --> 00:12:06,500
<i>"This is what you</i>
<i>can shop from,"</i>

306
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:07,800
<i>'cause I don't wanna</i>
<i>put them in a box.</i>

307
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,567
And then where
they're going to plate
is these are your symbols.

308
00:12:11,567 --> 00:12:13,567
<i>These are your signs</i>
<i>of what we're doing.</i>

309
00:12:13,567 --> 00:12:16,266
<i>And I think my symbols</i>
<i>are very clear and concise,</i>

310
00:12:16,266 --> 00:12:19,767
and they're right there,
so it's like, "Do that,
but meatless."

311
00:12:19,767 --> 00:12:23,367
Which could be really great
because it literally says
spaghetti and meatballs on it.

312
00:12:23,367 --> 00:12:25,000
-But...
-It could end up in our dish.

313
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,767
-We could be eating
spaghetti and meatballs.
-Oh, no.

314
00:12:26,767 --> 00:12:29,567
-Oh no. Yeah. [chuckles]
-And then they
lose vegetarian.

315
00:12:29,567 --> 00:12:31,667
That's why this shop
is so important.

316
00:12:31,667 --> 00:12:37,567
Five, four, three, two, one.

317
00:12:37,567 --> 00:12:40,834
KBC, Chef Crista,
in the icehouse. Adios.

318
00:12:41,266 --> 00:12:43,166
Let's go. Let's go.

319
00:12:43,166 --> 00:12:45,100
[Kelsey] Let's go. Let's go.

320
00:12:45,100 --> 00:12:46,533
All right.

321
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,767
I feel like
if I had gotten, like,
three more minutes,

322
00:12:49,767 --> 00:12:50,967
I could have made
the whole thing.

323
00:12:50,967 --> 00:12:53,000
-Come on, Dale. Come on.
-[Guy] All right.

324
00:12:53,266 --> 00:12:54,367
Send 'em in.

325
00:12:54,367 --> 00:12:57,800
-Chef Rocco. Chef Talde.
-[cheering]

326
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,066
Oh, my gosh, here we go.
The first ten is gone already.

327
00:13:00,066 --> 00:13:02,166
What is happening here?

328
00:13:02,166 --> 00:13:04,467
-Wait. Is it a burger?
-[Michael]
I can't tell you, Chef.

329
00:13:04,467 --> 00:13:06,867
-[Jet] We are saying nothing.
-You're a smart man.

330
00:13:06,867 --> 00:13:08,767
I think you can
figure it out, sir.

331
00:13:08,767 --> 00:13:10,734
What is this stuff, though?

332
00:13:11,567 --> 00:13:13,300
[Dale] <i>There are</i>
<i>mushrooms cooking.</i>

333
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:17,400
<i>There is some sort of ragu.</i>

334
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,900
<i>That's... That's all</i>
<i>that's working right now.</i>

335
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,567
I've got no clue
where this is going.

336
00:13:23,567 --> 00:13:25,767
Come on, come on.

337
00:13:25,767 --> 00:13:28,567
I'm hoping he's seen
that I've cooked the mirepoix

338
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:30,166
for him to make meatballs
with it.

339
00:13:30,166 --> 00:13:33,467
Uh, I think I've made it
pretty clear
it's spaghetti and meatballs,

340
00:13:33,467 --> 00:13:35,233
but no protein.

341
00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:37,867
That can is right in his face.

342
00:13:37,867 --> 00:13:40,266
Like, the can is right there.

343
00:13:40,266 --> 00:13:42,867
[Dale] <i>This is the thing</i>
<i>of nightmares, like, "Kelsey,</i>

344
00:13:42,867 --> 00:13:44,867
What does this mean?"

345
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:47,066
[Stephanie] He's like,
"I'm just gonna cut an onion.

346
00:13:47,066 --> 00:13:50,000
I'm just gonna cut an onion
and cook something while
I try to figure it out."

347
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,600
-Are you looking for clues?
-I am.

348
00:13:53,567 --> 00:13:55,100
I see pasta.

349
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:57,166
<i>There's just no clues to get.</i>

350
00:13:57,166 --> 00:13:59,166
So I'm just running
with my gut.

351
00:13:59,166 --> 00:14:00,900
KBC is freaking out, man.

352
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,367
Make it a ball. Come on, Dale.

353
00:14:03,367 --> 00:14:05,000
[Michael] The whole thing
could just be a disaster.

354
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,567
There needs to be,
like, a meatball on there.

355
00:14:07,567 --> 00:14:10,433
I thought I'd made it
so clear for them. No.

356
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400
What is happening? [sighs]

357
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:17,500
This is kind of the best part
to watch is to se
the second chef come in,

358
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:18,767
watch their face
while they try to figure out

359
00:14:18,767 --> 00:14:19,734
what each
of the ingredients are.

360
00:14:19,734 --> 00:14:21,266
[Jet] I mean, you've all been
late to shift.

361
00:14:21,266 --> 00:14:23,467
No one set you up
and you're running
on station

362
00:14:23,467 --> 00:14:26,600
and kind of going,
"All right, looking at
what are we doing today?"

363
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,300
-You know what I mean?
-But not only do you have
to figure out

364
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:30,000
what dish to make,
you have to figure out

365
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,433
what game
you're actually playing.

366
00:14:31,433 --> 00:14:34,867
You've got burger and fries,
and spaghetti and meatballs
without meat.

367
00:14:34,867 --> 00:14:36,000
Come on.

368
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,800
Dale, all you have to have
is a meatball and spaghetti.

369
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,834
[Jet] Oh, man,
Dale's in a world
of hurt, guys.

370
00:14:43,767 --> 00:14:46,300
Chef Talde,
what do you think
you got, buddy?

371
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:51,000
Um, well, this is some form
or ragu.

372
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,467
-[Guy] Okay.
-[Dale] These are mushrooms.

373
00:14:53,467 --> 00:14:54,533
Well, you're... you're quick.

374
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:58,767
What could be more clear
than putting a can that says

375
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:00,367
spaghetti and meatballs
up there?

376
00:15:00,367 --> 00:15:02,000
So it's like, "Come on."

377
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,600
[Dale] <i>It's super hard</i>
<i>to decipher</i>

378
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,166
what this person was trying
to tell you
through ingredients.

379
00:15:06,166 --> 00:15:10,166
<i>But the clues for me were</i>
<i>boxed spaghetti,</i>
<i>canned tomatoes.</i>

380
00:15:10,166 --> 00:15:13,467
I see no animal protein,
so there's no pork
and no any of anything.

381
00:15:13,467 --> 00:15:16,100
<i>And I notice that there's also</i>
<i>a lot of Asian ingredients,</i>

382
00:15:16,100 --> 00:15:18,367
<i>so I'm thinking to myself,</i>
<i>"I'm going in a direction</i>

383
00:15:18,367 --> 00:15:21,367
<i>like a spicy Dandan</i>
<i>vegetarian noodle dish."</i>

384
00:15:21,367 --> 00:15:24,467
[Jet] I don't think Dale
has picked up the clue,

385
00:15:24,467 --> 00:15:28,166
and it sounds like
he's making pasta with ragu.

386
00:15:28,166 --> 00:15:31,567
Kelsey may have added
more clues that could take
you actually away

387
00:15:31,567 --> 00:15:32,634
from what the dishes provide.

388
00:15:32,634 --> 00:15:34,066
[Stephanie] Looking at
ingredients on your station,

389
00:15:34,066 --> 00:15:35,367
they're all things
that I love.

390
00:15:35,367 --> 00:15:37,367
And if I'm making spaghetti
and meatballs at home,

391
00:15:37,367 --> 00:15:39,100
chances are those flavors
are gonna go in the meatball.

392
00:15:39,100 --> 00:15:40,600
They're gonna go
into the sauce.

393
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,166
But I'm not gonna
walk into a kitchen
and think to myself,

394
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:45,567
-"Oh, we're having spaghetti
and meatballs tonight."
-[sighs]

395
00:15:45,567 --> 00:15:47,000
Rocco, "What'd you get
over there?"

396
00:15:48,967 --> 00:15:51,567
[Rocco]
It's a burger challenge
with something fried.

397
00:15:51,567 --> 00:15:52,867
Right? That's a fry basket.

398
00:15:52,867 --> 00:15:55,800
-What is this?
-We've got to make
a vegetarian burger and fries.

399
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,333
Is this meat?

400
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:02,300
Oh, this is lamb.
This is some kind of
spicy meat thing here.

401
00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:04,100
Do you think
that's what that is?

402
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,567
No, I'm not sure at all.
No. [chuckles]

403
00:16:05,567 --> 00:16:09,066
[Guy] <i>Watching him</i>
<i>try to decipher this,</i>

404
00:16:09,066 --> 00:16:13,667
very interesting the chef
didn't leave any indication
of what that is.

405
00:16:13,667 --> 00:16:15,066
Come on, Rocco.

406
00:16:15,066 --> 00:16:16,967
<i>It's really hard</i>
<i>to be in the icebox</i>

407
00:16:16,967 --> 00:16:18,867
<i>and be that close</i>
<i>to your teammate,</i>

408
00:16:18,867 --> 00:16:22,567
and watch,
they can't hear you,
they can't really see you.

409
00:16:22,567 --> 00:16:25,567
[laughing]

410
00:16:25,567 --> 00:16:30,100
[Rocco] <i>We definitely feel</i>
<i>like there's a target on our</i>
<i>backs being the Award Winners.</i>

411
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:33,367
But I think Crista
is about as good
as a setup person

412
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:34,767
as I've ever seen.

413
00:16:34,767 --> 00:16:36,400
All right,
let's toast these guys.

414
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,166
<i>It's pretty clear that it's</i>
<i>a burger and fry challenge.</i>

415
00:16:39,166 --> 00:16:42,367
<i>She didn't over shop,</i>
<i>so there was not</i>
<i>a lot of confusion.</i>

416
00:16:42,367 --> 00:16:44,166
And she actually got
a lot of prep work done.

417
00:16:44,166 --> 00:16:45,967
We're looking good.
Buns are toasty.

418
00:16:45,967 --> 00:16:49,166
[Michael] Rocco has his
road map to whatever
this destination is,

419
00:16:49,166 --> 00:16:51,300
and I think Dale
is still chopping.

420
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,767
-KBC, how are you!
-[Kelsey screams] Oh, my gosh.

421
00:16:53,767 --> 00:16:55,200
-Just checking in.
-Oh!

422
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,934
-Seeing how my friend is.
-This is my worst nightmare.

423
00:16:58,367 --> 00:17:00,166
Uh, he's not getting it.

424
00:17:00,166 --> 00:17:02,000
I put a can of spaghetti
and meatballs

425
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
-with impossible meat.
-And that's what I'm saying,
it's sitting out there.

426
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,667
-It's sitting over there.
-[Kelsey] I think I made it
literally crystal clear

427
00:17:06,667 --> 00:17:08,667
because I don't know
what he's doing right now.

428
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:10,000
He's doing a lot of busy work.

429
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,100
I wanna start browning
the meat substitute

430
00:17:12,100 --> 00:17:13,700
<i>because I know</i>
<i>it takes some time.</i>

431
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:16,600
<i>I put some water in just</i>
<i>to kind of help it</i>
<i>cook quicker,</i>

432
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,100
<i>but also because</i>
<i>there's no real fat in this.</i>

433
00:17:20,100 --> 00:17:22,300
I'm just hoping and praying
that I'm guessing right.

434
00:17:22,300 --> 00:17:26,200
He's browning the meat,
which I'm like, "Dude,
it's got to be a meatball."

435
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,700
Make it a ball. Come on, Dale.

436
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:30,166
Look at Kelsey in the icebox.

437
00:17:30,166 --> 00:17:33,300
She's like,
"Do you see anything?"
I left it as a clue."

438
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,000
Let me out!

439
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,367
I wanna go fix it.

440
00:17:37,367 --> 00:17:40,567
This is the hardest game
I've ever played.

441
00:17:40,567 --> 00:17:42,000
He's not looking at the stuff.

442
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,900
He's got this big can,
the spaghetti and meatball
sitting on the thing.

443
00:17:44,900 --> 00:17:49,367
I don't want him to use it,
but if he doesn't get
the meatball.

444
00:17:49,367 --> 00:17:51,667
Come on, Dale. Come on.
See it.

445
00:17:51,667 --> 00:17:55,700
[Dale] <i>It's super hard.</i>
<i>Imagine you have to get a book</i>
<i>to the last two pages</i>

446
00:17:55,700 --> 00:17:59,200
when you don't know
what the beginning
of the book was to start with.

447
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,400
<i>So there's a can</i>
<i>of spaghetti and meatballs,</i>

448
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,266
and I did not immediately
equate that.

449
00:18:04,266 --> 00:18:05,367
I don't equate that
to anything.

450
00:18:05,367 --> 00:18:09,000
I honestly just thought
going in an Italian direction.

451
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,700
I could have formed a meatball
and sat it there.

452
00:18:11,700 --> 00:18:13,800
That's one thing I wish
I would have done.

453
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,767
[Jet] Bucket list moment.
Rocco DiSpirito
making me a burger.

454
00:18:16,767 --> 00:18:18,133
That's pretty amazing.

455
00:18:18,133 --> 00:18:21,300
[Rocco] <i>These are burgers,</i>
<i>but there's some odd mixture</i>
<i>of meat.</i>

456
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,667
<i>It's not quite beef.</i>
<i>It's not quite pork.</i>

457
00:18:23,667 --> 00:18:27,266
So I look in the garbage
to see what was thrown away.

458
00:18:27,266 --> 00:18:28,767
[Jet] My idol, Rocco,
is dumpster diving.

459
00:18:28,767 --> 00:18:30,967
I never thought I'd see this
in 30 years. [laughs]

460
00:18:30,967 --> 00:18:33,367
What is this?
What is this doing here?

461
00:18:33,367 --> 00:18:34,233
What you got there, Rocco?

462
00:18:34,233 --> 00:18:36,567
[Jet] Detective DiSpirito
on the case.

463
00:18:36,567 --> 00:18:38,000
I think that it was
a smart move.

464
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,800
I've deduced from that clue
that the challenge

465
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,066
is a vegan
or vegetarian challenge,

466
00:18:43,066 --> 00:18:47,200
which would... then explains
the vegan bacon
and the mushrooms.

467
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,400
-Vegan.
-Why do you keep
asking us, Rocco?

468
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,500
[Stephanie] I know.
Stop asking us.

469
00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:51,767
'Cause I know
one of you will crack.

470
00:18:51,767 --> 00:18:53,600
-One of you will
crack eventually.
-[laughs]

471
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,867
I hope he doesn't forget
to drop the fries.

472
00:18:55,867 --> 00:18:58,033
Everybody's worrying
that they're not
gonna be crispy enough.

473
00:18:58,467 --> 00:19:00,066
Shoot.

474
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:02,667
Don't forget about
your fries, man.

475
00:19:02,667 --> 00:19:06,266
[Rocco] <i>Then I see</i>
<i>the sweet potatoes in a bowl</i>
<i>right next to the fryer.</i>

476
00:19:06,266 --> 00:19:08,467
Come on, come on, come on,
come on. Toss 'em. Toss 'em.

477
00:19:08,467 --> 00:19:10,100
<i>Then I think some people</i>
<i>are very particular</i>

478
00:19:10,100 --> 00:19:12,367
<i>about how crispy</i>
<i>a sweet potato fry can be.</i>

479
00:19:12,367 --> 00:19:15,100
<i>I guess her idea was</i>
<i>if we can coat it</i>
<i>in cornstarch</i>

480
00:19:15,100 --> 00:19:19,100
<i>and do a double-fry method,</i>
<i>we can overcome</i>
<i>the lack of crispiness.</i>

481
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,100
-[sighs]
-And I continue to cook
the mushrooms.

482
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:25,000
<i>Then I think, you know,</i>
<i>we need some garnish</i>
<i>for the burgers.</i>

483
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,667
<i>The buns need lettuce, tomato,</i>
<i>onion, and that kind of thing.</i>
<i>So I start to work on those.</i>

484
00:19:28,667 --> 00:19:30,867
It's not only about
bragging rights,
which are amazing,

485
00:19:30,867 --> 00:19:35,767
but there's $60,000
on the line,
so there's a lot of pressure.

486
00:19:35,767 --> 00:19:37,600
Five and a half
minutes left, chefs.

487
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,600
-Uh-oh.
-Oh, no.

488
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,500
-What's going on
with the lights, man?
-What is happening?

489
00:19:41,500 --> 00:19:42,667
What is going on
with the lights?

490
00:19:42,667 --> 00:19:43,767
Hunter.

491
00:19:43,767 --> 00:19:45,300
-Hunter!
-Hey. Hey.

492
00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:47,767
Oh, no. Here we go.
Hunter, stay where you were.

493
00:19:47,767 --> 00:19:49,800
-What is going on?
-So we got
a huge promotion.

494
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,867
We have a bunch of ingredients
still in the clearance aisle.

495
00:19:51,867 --> 00:19:55,100
Is this the new way
we do Red Light Special?

496
00:19:55,100 --> 00:19:56,600
-[Hunter] Change it up
a little bit.
-[Guy] Huh.

497
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:57,834
-All right? So, all right.
-Make it bigger.

498
00:19:57,834 --> 00:20:01,467
Chefs, fantastic.
Red Light Special
going on in aisle six

499
00:20:01,467 --> 00:20:02,567
in our clearance section.

500
00:20:02,567 --> 00:20:05,100
It is filled
with all the products
and ingredients

501
00:20:05,100 --> 00:20:07,467
which we have way too much of.
So guess what?

502
00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:11,467
I want you to go into
the Red Light Special
in aisle six,

503
00:20:11,467 --> 00:20:13,166
grab an ingredient,
and bring it over

504
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:15,166
and incorporate it
in your dish. Right now.

505
00:20:15,166 --> 00:20:16,800
[Jet] So aisle six is kinda
the clearance aisle, right?

506
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,033
[Stephanie]
The clearance, yep.

507
00:20:18,033 --> 00:20:20,100
-Yeah, there's a bunch.
-[Jet] So things
we don't wanna eat,

508
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:22,100
and things to clean up
the house with. Awesome.

509
00:20:22,100 --> 00:20:23,634
-That's because
it's Hunter's idea.
-[laughs]

510
00:20:23,634 --> 00:20:26,200
[Dale] <i>With four minutes,</i>
<i>I had to introduce</i>
<i>a new ingredient into this,</i>

511
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,467
<i>and, uh, I'm looking</i>
<i>at the shelves</i>
<i>and I see sweet chili sauce.</i>

512
00:20:29,467 --> 00:20:32,066
[Rocco] <i>I find</i>
<i>sweet pickle relish.</i>

513
00:20:32,066 --> 00:20:34,900
<i>Perfect, if not an elevating</i>
<i>ingredient for a burger.</i>

514
00:20:34,900 --> 00:20:37,266
[Dale] <i>We have some heat</i>
<i>already in our ragu,</i>

515
00:20:37,266 --> 00:20:39,367
<i>so I'm gonna balance</i>
<i>some of this heat</i>

516
00:20:39,367 --> 00:20:41,000
<i>with this Thai</i>
<i>sweet chili sauce.</i>

517
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
This is gonna help sweeten up
this little ragu she got.

518
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,166
You need some real muscles,
Rocco, throw it over here.

519
00:20:48,166 --> 00:20:49,500
Yes, I do. [chuckles]

520
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,100
I've never seen
that Rocco move.

521
00:20:52,100 --> 00:20:54,000
I've learned to open a jar
another way now.

522
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,300
[Guy] One minute, chefs.

523
00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:57,467
[Rocco] <i>I've set up</i>
<i>the burgers as far</i>
<i>as I can take them</i>

524
00:20:57,467 --> 00:20:59,000
<i>without actually</i>
<i>putting them together</i>

525
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,667
<i>with the melted cheese</i>
<i>and the bacon</i>
<i>and the mushrooms.</i>

526
00:21:01,667 --> 00:21:05,000
<i>So that all Jonathan has to do</i>
<i>is, you know,</i>
<i>basically assemble</i>

527
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,166
<i>and make sure</i>
<i>the sweet potato fries</i>
<i>are cooked and plated.</i>

528
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:11,367
This is the most
matter-of-fact gameplay
I've ever seen.

529
00:21:11,367 --> 00:21:13,400
The thing is like, yeah,
you could win
all the gameplay.

530
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,867
But is it gonna
taste delicious?

531
00:21:14,867 --> 00:21:16,367
You know,
even the details of, like,

532
00:21:16,367 --> 00:21:18,266
not spreading the relish
all the way to the edge
of the bun.

533
00:21:18,266 --> 00:21:21,567
So you have this much time.
You need to really pay
attention to the details.

534
00:21:21,567 --> 00:21:25,367
You have 25 seconds
to leave your clues
for your next chef coming in.

535
00:21:25,367 --> 00:21:27,367
Are you setting them up
for success?

536
00:21:27,367 --> 00:21:28,500
[Dale] <i>So the clues</i>
<i>that I'm leaving for Joe</i>

537
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:29,967
<i>is, like, I open</i>
<i>a can of tomatoes.</i>

538
00:21:29,967 --> 00:21:33,300
<i>I open the bag of pasta.</i>
<i>I don't put it in yet,</i>

539
00:21:33,300 --> 00:21:34,900
<i>but I give him a plethora</i>

540
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,467
<i>of things for him to season</i>

541
00:21:36,467 --> 00:21:37,500
<i>and finish dishes with.</i>

542
00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,567
On Dale's station,
where meatballs are the goal,

543
00:21:40,567 --> 00:21:42,200
there's just meat in the pan,
not in a ball.

544
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:43,367
[Jet] I don't think
there's going to be

545
00:21:43,367 --> 00:21:44,667
-forming of any--
-I don't think
there's going to be--

546
00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:45,700
No forming.

547
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:48,000
We'll wait till Joe comes out
and then realizes

548
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,600
-that it's spaghetti
and meatballs.
-What does Joe do with it?

549
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,667
He's known for pasta,

550
00:21:50,667 --> 00:21:52,266
but he can cook
just about anything.

551
00:21:52,266 --> 00:21:53,667
He's so great with flavors.

552
00:21:53,667 --> 00:21:55,567
-He's got to save the day.
-But can he form

553
00:21:55,567 --> 00:21:58,266
the meat product in the pan
into a ball?

554
00:21:58,266 --> 00:21:59,800
Can he make a meatball?

555
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:01,000
We got flavors going now.

556
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,000
This is what
I'm excited about.

557
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,600
Making this taste good,
I'm not concerned about.

558
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,166
What I'm concerned about is

559
00:22:06,166 --> 00:22:07,767
checking the boxes
on gameplay,

560
00:22:07,767 --> 00:22:09,467
which right now... we're not.

561
00:22:09,467 --> 00:22:11,367
[Dale] <i>At the end</i>
<i>of my 10 minutes,</i>
<i>I'm completely confused</i>

562
00:22:11,367 --> 00:22:13,133
<i>as to what the hell</i>
<i>I was supposed to do.</i>

563
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:14,567
No clue.

564
00:22:14,567 --> 00:22:15,500
Ten.

565
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:16,467
Nine.

566
00:22:16,467 --> 00:22:18,000
I'm feeling really good.

567
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,367
Everything is
going super well.

568
00:22:19,367 --> 00:22:20,567
<i>But then...</i>

569
00:22:20,567 --> 00:22:21,767
-[Guy] Eight. Seven...
-[Rocco] No, no, no.

570
00:22:21,767 --> 00:22:22,600
Oh, shoot.

571
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,567
Rocco drops
one of our four burgers.

572
00:22:24,567 --> 00:22:25,467
[Guy] Five.

573
00:22:25,467 --> 00:22:27,433
-[Rocco groans]
-[chuckling] Four. Three.

574
00:22:28,266 --> 00:22:29,467
Two, one.

575
00:22:29,467 --> 00:22:30,934
Oh, no.

576
00:22:32,767 --> 00:22:34,500
-[Guy] Ten, nine, eight.
-[Rocco groans]

577
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:35,867
<i>I dropped one of our burgers</i>

578
00:22:35,867 --> 00:22:37,367
on the floor.
I'm pretty crushed.

579
00:22:37,367 --> 00:22:38,400
-[Crista whimpers]
-[Guy] Seven.

580
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,767
-[Jet and Michael]
What do you do?
-[Guy] Six,

581
00:22:39,767 --> 00:22:40,734
-five.
-No.

582
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,200
[Rocco] <i>I pick it up,</i>
<i>and I put it back.</i>

583
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,567
<i>It's still on the spatula.</i>

584
00:22:43,567 --> 00:22:46,300
I leave it to the kitchen gods
to figure out.

585
00:22:46,300 --> 00:22:48,133
-Why do you do that?
-[Guy] Four, three.

586
00:22:48,567 --> 00:22:49,600
Two, one.

587
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,800
You're out! Let's go.

588
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,400
-Into the ice box.
-[Rocco groans]

589
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,266
<i>You're on a team with people</i>
<i>you really respect,</i>

590
00:22:54,266 --> 00:22:56,600
<i>and you don't want</i>
<i>to disappoint them.</i>

591
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,967
You certainly don't want
to make a mistake

592
00:22:57,967 --> 00:22:59,767
that's going to disqualify
the whole team.

593
00:22:59,767 --> 00:23:01,900
-Hi, friend. [chuckles]
-Did you see me drop it?

594
00:23:01,900 --> 00:23:04,967
[Jet] Why did he put
that burger off the floor?

595
00:23:04,967 --> 00:23:06,100
We can't eat that.

596
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:07,567
[Kelsey] So what'd
[chuckling] you think?

597
00:23:07,567 --> 00:23:08,500
Pasta?

598
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:09,800
Spaghetti and meatballs.

599
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:12,100
[laughs]

600
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:13,266
[Dale] I thought
it was a mushroom ragu.

601
00:23:13,266 --> 00:23:15,700
What I was doing was
making, like,

602
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:18,100
a mirepoix base
to put in the raw meat

603
00:23:18,100 --> 00:23:19,800
-to make a meatball.
-[sighs]

604
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,000
-Let's go!
-[whistle blows]

605
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,500
-Pull up!
-[hi-tempo music playing]

606
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,367
[Joe whispering indistinctly]

607
00:23:29,367 --> 00:23:30,934
Oh, God. Joe's confused.

608
00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:33,000
[Jonathon] <i>From what I see</i>
<i>on my board,</i>

609
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,300
<i>I can tell this is</i>
<i>a classic combo</i>

610
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:37,600
<i>of burgers and fries.</i>

611
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,767
Hey. I-- I-- excuse me, Chef.

612
00:23:39,767 --> 00:23:40,800
Excuse me.

613
00:23:42,367 --> 00:23:44,166
[Jet and Michael] Oh.

614
00:23:44,166 --> 00:23:45,233
Sorry.

615
00:23:45,667 --> 00:23:46,567
It hit the ground.

616
00:23:46,567 --> 00:23:47,767
Oh.

617
00:23:47,767 --> 00:23:50,867
-Okay.
-Wow. Wow.

618
00:23:50,867 --> 00:23:52,567
Oh. Now what?

619
00:23:52,567 --> 00:23:54,600
$60,000 go in the garbage.

620
00:23:56,867 --> 00:23:58,300
Um.

621
00:23:58,300 --> 00:24:01,233
That just sent
Jonathon into, like...

622
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,100
You are plating four.

623
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,667
[Joe] Let's taste.

624
00:24:05,667 --> 00:24:06,967
First things first,

625
00:24:06,967 --> 00:24:08,100
-taste.
-Okay.

626
00:24:10,467 --> 00:24:11,500
All right.

627
00:24:11,500 --> 00:24:14,200
Got, like, a little
veggie Bolognese situation.

628
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:15,800
-Okay.
-Roasted mushrooms.

629
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,300
She doesn't like those, huh?

630
00:24:18,567 --> 00:24:20,100
-Nice and crispy.
-Are you looking for clues,

631
00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:21,867
-or are you just--
-Clues. I'm cluing myself up.

632
00:24:21,867 --> 00:24:23,000
Okay, you're just eating
is what you're doing.

633
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,266
No, I'm tasting. I'm looking.

634
00:24:24,266 --> 00:24:25,600
I see pasta water.

635
00:24:25,900 --> 00:24:26,734
I see pasta.

636
00:24:26,734 --> 00:24:29,000
-I see sauce. I see mushrooms.
-Okay.

637
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,033
I think we're going pasta.

638
00:24:30,033 --> 00:24:32,567
-We're going, like,
Italian-Asian combo.
-Okay.

639
00:24:32,567 --> 00:24:34,767
-[Joe] I see a lot
of just, like, fake meat.
-Okay.

640
00:24:34,767 --> 00:24:37,000
-I don't know why.
-Okay.

641
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,300
That's not something
I would expect

642
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:39,767
-Kelsey to shop for.
-Right, right.

643
00:24:39,767 --> 00:24:41,700
It's a veggie.
It has to be a veggie dish.

644
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:43,767
-Okay.
-We're going vegetarian!

645
00:24:43,767 --> 00:24:44,867
-Yes! Yes!
-[Joe] I'll say chilies.

646
00:24:44,867 --> 00:24:46,467
-We got something!
-I love that.

647
00:24:46,467 --> 00:24:48,300
NASA just called.
They have a job opening.

648
00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:49,567
I love that idea.

649
00:24:49,567 --> 00:24:50,767
[Kelsey] We're
going vegetarian.

650
00:24:50,767 --> 00:24:53,066
But I need you
to figure out the ball.

651
00:24:53,066 --> 00:24:54,667
[Joe] I think I need
to get this in the water.

652
00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:56,367
Yeah, but you got
nine minutes.

653
00:24:56,367 --> 00:24:58,367
I feel like I need
to cook spaghetti.

654
00:24:58,367 --> 00:25:01,266
<i>We all know that it takes</i>
<i>more than 10 minutes to cook.</i>

655
00:25:01,266 --> 00:25:02,767
<i>Why didn't</i>
<i>they start cooking then?</i>

656
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:03,800
[Michael]
How do you leave Joe,

657
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,467
you know, less than 10 minutes
to cook spaghetti?

658
00:25:05,467 --> 00:25:07,100
Did Dale not drop
spaghetti at all?

659
00:25:07,100 --> 00:25:08,800
[Michael] Joe just put
the spaghetti in the water.

660
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,467
[Jet] Oh, wow.

661
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:12,000
[Joe] I'm really worried
about this pasta.

662
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,400
Why they didn't
start that earlier

663
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,934
if I have to make pasta

664
00:25:15,266 --> 00:25:16,367
worries me.

665
00:25:16,367 --> 00:25:17,967
I spend more time
on my mustache.

666
00:25:17,967 --> 00:25:19,367
[Jet] If anyone can
pull it off there,

667
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:20,433
Joe Sasto could pull it off.

668
00:25:20,433 --> 00:25:21,700
-Right. I trust him--
-He can make spaghetti cook

669
00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:22,800
faster than anyone.

670
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,266
[laughing] Yeah.

671
00:25:24,266 --> 00:25:25,667
[Joe] <i>I was worried,</i>
<i>but at this point,</i>

672
00:25:25,667 --> 00:25:27,100
I mean, it's pretty clear

673
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,800
I'm making
spaghetti Bolognese.

674
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,066
[Kelsey] Look at the can, Joe.

675
00:25:31,066 --> 00:25:32,200
You have to make a meatball.

676
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,767
Spaghetti and meatballs.

677
00:25:34,767 --> 00:25:36,467
I have to look
at three burgers
and figure out,

678
00:25:36,467 --> 00:25:38,567
"How do I make these
into four?"

679
00:25:38,567 --> 00:25:39,767
-[Rocco] What's he doing?
-[Crista] I don't know.

680
00:25:39,767 --> 00:25:41,266
[Jonathon]
<i>Crista shopped lean.</i>

681
00:25:41,266 --> 00:25:43,367
There was no
extra ground meat anywhere.

682
00:25:43,367 --> 00:25:44,266
Can I go shop?

683
00:25:44,266 --> 00:25:45,500
-No.
-No.

684
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:46,600
-No.
-Okay.

685
00:25:48,467 --> 00:25:49,500
Um...

686
00:25:49,900 --> 00:25:51,367
Okay.

687
00:25:51,367 --> 00:25:52,867
So I figure out real quick,

688
00:25:52,867 --> 00:25:54,166
<i>I got to split them.</i>

689
00:25:54,166 --> 00:25:55,900
[tense music playing]

690
00:25:57,700 --> 00:25:59,000
[Jet] Oh, wow.

691
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,233
Look at that.

692
00:26:00,233 --> 00:26:01,800
-[Michael] Good recovery.
-[Jet] Jonathon is recovering

693
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,900
by slicing that patty in half

694
00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:06,266
and trying to stretch
one more burger out of it.

695
00:26:06,266 --> 00:26:08,367
[Joe] <i>I mean,</i>
<i>these battles are</i>
<i>all about pride.</i>

696
00:26:08,367 --> 00:26:09,800
<i>They're</i>
<i>all about bragging rights.</i>

697
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,000
Oh, [chuckling] Jonathon's
going to take two halves

698
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,033
to make a full.

699
00:26:13,367 --> 00:26:14,967
I like this move.

700
00:26:14,967 --> 00:26:16,867
The 18 chefs that are
competing here

701
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:17,800
in this tournament are

702
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,800
some of the most respected
in the country.

703
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,400
<i>I want to win the whole thing.</i>

704
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,266
[Jet] I think he's going
to take three.

705
00:26:23,266 --> 00:26:24,500
I think he's going
to do thirds.

706
00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:26,300
-Yeah, he is.
-[Michael] Oh, that's smart.

707
00:26:26,300 --> 00:26:28,166
-[Jet] Oh. What a recovery.
-[Stephanie] Nice!

708
00:26:28,166 --> 00:26:29,166
[Crista] Yeah, buddy!

709
00:26:29,166 --> 00:26:30,867
There you go, Sawyer.

710
00:26:30,867 --> 00:26:32,300
[Jonathon] Some of this.

711
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:34,700
[Crista] <i>The guy turns</i>
<i>water into wine, whatever,</i>

712
00:26:34,700 --> 00:26:36,734
<i>fishes into loaves,</i>
<i>saves the day.</i>

713
00:26:37,667 --> 00:26:39,467
[Guy] That's
my buddy right there.

714
00:26:39,467 --> 00:26:41,266
Actually, what that is,
is that's a dad move.

715
00:26:41,266 --> 00:26:43,166
Your kid just showed up,
and there's two extra kids
to eat.

716
00:26:43,166 --> 00:26:44,233
"Don't worry,
I got that handled."

717
00:26:45,367 --> 00:26:47,000
Seven minutes.

718
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,767
[Joe] Let's check
our pasta, huh?

719
00:26:50,767 --> 00:26:52,667
-[Joe chuckling] It's gonna
be close on the spaghetti.
-Meatball. Meatball.

720
00:26:52,667 --> 00:26:54,667
[Jet] I don't think he knows
he has to make a meatball yet.

721
00:26:54,667 --> 00:26:56,500
I think he figured out
it's a pasta dish.

722
00:26:56,500 --> 00:26:58,767
-I think he figured out
it's vegetarian, obviously.
-[Jet] Right.

723
00:26:58,767 --> 00:27:00,700
But I don't think it's like,

724
00:27:00,700 --> 00:27:02,000
"Spaghetti and meatballs."

725
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,100
Kelsey is not happy.
She's so angry right now.

726
00:27:04,100 --> 00:27:05,867
Make the meatball.
Make the meatball.

727
00:27:05,867 --> 00:27:07,767
Please make a meatball!

728
00:27:07,767 --> 00:27:10,066
[chuckling] I am dying.

729
00:27:10,066 --> 00:27:12,000
[groans]

730
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,800
I'm having more fun
watching KBC

731
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,567
than I am doing
the whole competition.

732
00:27:16,567 --> 00:27:18,567
The can. Look at the can.

733
00:27:18,567 --> 00:27:20,667
We don't know
why they're mad at me.

734
00:27:20,667 --> 00:27:22,233
And they're screaming at me.

735
00:27:22,867 --> 00:27:24,133
But I don't know why.

736
00:27:24,567 --> 00:27:26,367
We need him to do a meatball.

737
00:27:26,367 --> 00:27:28,166
Like, if he doesn't do that,
we have no chance.

738
00:27:28,166 --> 00:27:31,166
I think in Kelsey's mind,
that was the clearest way
to communicate.

739
00:27:31,166 --> 00:27:32,900
Like, she was like,
"I'm a genius.

740
00:27:32,900 --> 00:27:35,000
I thought
of the best possible way
to communicate this."

741
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,166
But no one else is
catching that.

742
00:27:37,166 --> 00:27:38,700
Look at the can!

743
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,300
Joe, please.

744
00:27:41,367 --> 00:27:43,934
Just look at the pan.
Meatballs, meatballs.

745
00:27:44,767 --> 00:27:46,200
He's not getting it!

746
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,900
I put it right there.

747
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:49,400
Spaghetti and meatballs.

748
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,133
Joe, please,

749
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,634
please, please, please.

750
00:27:56,166 --> 00:27:57,233
[Guy] Five minutes left.

751
00:27:57,233 --> 00:28:00,100
[Jet] I think Joe has
the mountain to climb here.

752
00:28:00,100 --> 00:28:01,066
[Michael]
I don't think he knows

753
00:28:01,066 --> 00:28:02,200
he has to make a meatball yet.

754
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,000
[Kelsey] We need him
to do a meatball.

755
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,800
Like, if he doesn't do that,
we have no chance.

756
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,867
[Joe] <i>I think there was</i>
<i>a lot of pressure</i>

757
00:28:06,867 --> 00:28:08,300
<i>being the third chef.</i>

758
00:28:08,300 --> 00:28:10,100
<i>Other people are</i>
<i>counting on you</i>

759
00:28:10,100 --> 00:28:11,367
<i>to do everything right.</i>

760
00:28:11,367 --> 00:28:14,166
Regardless of what Chef 1
and Chef 2 do,

761
00:28:14,166 --> 00:28:17,200
<i>it's up to Chef 3 to transform</i>
<i>all of that cooking</i>

762
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,567
<i>into something amazing.</i>

763
00:28:18,567 --> 00:28:20,700
So I'm just hoping
I can figure this out.

764
00:28:20,700 --> 00:28:22,867
I... I don't know.

765
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:24,467
I don't know
what's happening here.

766
00:28:24,467 --> 00:28:27,266
Make the meatball, Joe.
You have time.

767
00:28:27,266 --> 00:28:28,667
[Joe] <i>So I know</i>
<i>Kelsey's trying to leave me</i>

768
00:28:28,667 --> 00:28:29,767
<i>breadcrumbs here,</i>

769
00:28:29,767 --> 00:28:31,467
but the only thing
I'm seeing is panko,

770
00:28:31,467 --> 00:28:32,800
so I'm going to roll with it.

771
00:28:33,266 --> 00:28:34,567
I'm very worried.

772
00:28:34,567 --> 00:28:35,800
<i>You need to get</i>
<i>those down in a pan</i>

773
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,000
<i>with some butter</i>
<i>and toasted garlic,</i>

774
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,467
<i>and just start</i>
<i>toasting those off</i>

775
00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:41,166
<i>while I'm coming up</i>
<i>with the rest of the dish.</i>

776
00:28:41,166 --> 00:28:43,800
Oh, my God. What is
he making? No.

777
00:28:44,100 --> 00:28:45,667
No!

778
00:28:45,667 --> 00:28:48,100
[Guy] Four and a half minutes.
Four and a half to go.

779
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:49,700
[Michael] Jonathon, you think
your team set you up?

780
00:28:49,700 --> 00:28:51,700
They set me up
for success over here.

781
00:28:51,700 --> 00:28:53,767
-[Michael] You feel it?
-I'm making a great version

782
00:28:53,767 --> 00:28:56,300
of my grandma's
seitan bacon burger.

783
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,200
Very classic Hungarian dish.

784
00:29:00,767 --> 00:29:01,800
Four minutes.

785
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:02,967
So we got a burger.

786
00:29:02,967 --> 00:29:04,634
I don't see any fries.

787
00:29:05,467 --> 00:29:07,100
What are the fries?

788
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:09,867
[Crista] The only thing
I'm worried about is my fries.

789
00:29:09,867 --> 00:29:11,200
-Everybody's giving me
a hard time...
-No.

790
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,100
...that they're sweet potato
and they're not going
to get crispy.

791
00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:13,900
No, they're totally crispy.

792
00:29:13,900 --> 00:29:15,433
They just need
to be dropped again.

793
00:29:17,066 --> 00:29:18,333
[Jonathon]
Where are the fries?

794
00:29:19,166 --> 00:29:21,133
Oh! Okay.

795
00:29:24,667 --> 00:29:25,767
Okay.

796
00:29:25,767 --> 00:29:28,867
<i>Sweet potato fries have</i>
<i>way too much sugar in them</i>

797
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:31,266
<i>to be compared</i>
<i>to regular French fries.</i>

798
00:29:31,266 --> 00:29:32,867
While they share a name,

799
00:29:32,867 --> 00:29:35,400
they are a totally different
component altogether.

800
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,300
They will never amount--
the same amount of crispy,

801
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:40,767
but they are satisfying,
and they are delicious.

802
00:29:40,767 --> 00:29:43,066
<i>However, they weren't</i>
<i>totally crispy yet,</i>

803
00:29:43,066 --> 00:29:44,900
<i>-so I fry them one more time.</i>
-Okay.

804
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,867
Let's turn that into a sauce.

805
00:29:46,867 --> 00:29:49,867
The sauce for the burger has
got to be a classic combo.

806
00:29:49,867 --> 00:29:51,367
<i>So I take ketchup,</i>

807
00:29:51,367 --> 00:29:53,266
<i>mayonnaise, a little bit</i>
<i>of mustard,</i>

808
00:29:53,266 --> 00:29:55,100
<i>pickle relish, vinegar,</i>

809
00:29:55,100 --> 00:29:56,700
<i>combine it with some</i>
<i>fresh chopped parsley.</i>

810
00:29:56,700 --> 00:29:57,667
<i>We're good to go.</i>

811
00:29:57,667 --> 00:29:58,734
I love it.

812
00:29:58,734 --> 00:30:00,500
He took all the condiments
and made a burger sauce.

813
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:01,433
Smart.

814
00:30:01,433 --> 00:30:02,800
What else do you think
you got going here?

815
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,400
[Jonathon] I got French fries
back there in the deep fryer.

816
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:06,467
-Okay.
-I feel like we're doing

817
00:30:06,467 --> 00:30:08,567
-burger and fries
vegetarian style.
-Okay. Okay.

818
00:30:08,567 --> 00:30:09,400
[Jonathon] <i>I'm going</i>
<i>to use this both</i>

819
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,367
<i>to spread on top</i>
<i>of my burger bun,</i>

820
00:30:11,367 --> 00:30:13,166
<i>but serve on the side</i>
<i>of the French fries,</i>

821
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:14,667
allowing the sweet potatoes,

822
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:16,467
crispy or not, to have
a dipping sauce.

823
00:30:16,467 --> 00:30:18,266
[Guy]
Regular Sherlock home cook.

824
00:30:18,266 --> 00:30:19,567
Three minutes!

825
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:20,900
Oh, I know
what to do with these.

826
00:30:20,900 --> 00:30:22,567
<i>I noticed there are</i>
<i>mushrooms all over.</i>

827
00:30:22,567 --> 00:30:24,266
<i>Mushrooms are one</i>
<i>of those things</i>
<i>that can be manipulated.</i>

828
00:30:24,266 --> 00:30:26,767
<i>They bring a lot of flavor</i>
<i>and a lot of texture.</i>

829
00:30:26,767 --> 00:30:28,200
<i>Those are going to crisp up</i>

830
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,567
<i>and make them perfect</i>
<i>for pickling.</i>

831
00:30:30,567 --> 00:30:31,867
[Kelsey whimpering]
What's happening?

832
00:30:31,867 --> 00:30:32,900
He's pickling mushrooms.

833
00:30:32,900 --> 00:30:34,266
Look at Dale
and Kelsey in there.

834
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,600
She's literally mouthing,

835
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,567
"Why is he doing that?"

836
00:30:37,567 --> 00:30:40,000
Well, why did
you shop it that way?

837
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Right there. It's in a can.

838
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,100
I mean, I guess
you could take it

839
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:44,367
and put it
in the food processor.

840
00:30:44,367 --> 00:30:45,567
-[Jet] Right?
-Right now.

841
00:30:45,567 --> 00:30:46,800
And then roll it,
and then fry it.

842
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,200
[Stephanie] Right.
Add a little cheese
to it or something.

843
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,734
[Jet] A little bit of starch
or something.

844
00:30:49,734 --> 00:30:51,300
-[Michael] Oh, yeah.
He's got flour on his station.
-[Jet] Yeah, he can do it.

845
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,467
[Stephanie] Especially
a meatless burger,

846
00:30:53,467 --> 00:30:54,567
if you put it
in the food processor...

847
00:30:54,567 --> 00:30:56,300
I don't think he knows
he has to make a meatball yet.

848
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,867
[Guy] Get your plates.
Got to get plated.

849
00:30:57,867 --> 00:30:59,166
Two and a half!

850
00:30:59,166 --> 00:31:00,467
Well, there goes
the meatballs.

851
00:31:00,467 --> 00:31:02,400
-He's not going
to figure it out now.
-[Dale] <i>But then...</i>

852
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,700
Bowl, pasta,
spaghetti, and meatballs.

853
00:31:06,166 --> 00:31:07,367
<i>I was looking at the things</i>

854
00:31:07,367 --> 00:31:09,000
<i>and I realized-- I was like,</i>

855
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,900
"Spaghetti and meat sauce
would have been

856
00:31:10,900 --> 00:31:11,767
a different clue

857
00:31:11,767 --> 00:31:14,033
than a can of spaghetti
and meatballs."

858
00:31:14,567 --> 00:31:16,500
No way!

859
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:18,867
With just a couple minutes
left on the clock,

860
00:31:18,867 --> 00:31:20,200
it all clicks.

861
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,800
<i>I get the meat substitute,</i>

862
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:23,367
<i>panko,</i>
<i>already chopped scallions,</i>

863
00:31:23,367 --> 00:31:25,700
already chopped garlics,
a big pinch of salt.

864
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:27,467
Yes, meatball!

865
00:31:27,467 --> 00:31:28,867
[Stephanie] Oh, my gosh.
He's making meatball.

866
00:31:28,867 --> 00:31:30,467
He's making a meatball.

867
00:31:30,467 --> 00:31:32,500
He figured it out,
but it might be
a little bit late.

868
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:33,400
Two minutes. Two minutes.

869
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:34,700
Two minutes
and Joe's making meatballs.

870
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:35,834
[Jet] That's crazy.

871
00:31:35,834 --> 00:31:37,100
[Joe] <i>The only thing that's</i>
<i>going to save me here is</i>

872
00:31:37,100 --> 00:31:39,900
that the meat doesn't need
to cook all the way through

873
00:31:39,900 --> 00:31:41,500
because it's not really meat.

874
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,667
[cheering and laughing]

875
00:31:43,667 --> 00:31:45,467
[Kelsey] Let's go!

876
00:31:45,467 --> 00:31:46,667
[Guy] One minute.

877
00:31:46,667 --> 00:31:48,266
[Jonathon] <i>Plating is</i>
<i>pretty classic.</i>

878
00:31:48,266 --> 00:31:49,266
<i>We got a basket.</i>

879
00:31:49,266 --> 00:31:50,867
<i>I line it with some parchment,</i>

880
00:31:50,867 --> 00:31:53,367
<i>keeping the French fries warm</i>
<i>as long as possible.</i>

881
00:31:53,367 --> 00:31:55,266
<i>And I put the side</i>
<i>of sauce in there with it.</i>

882
00:31:55,266 --> 00:31:57,266
[Joe] <i>The pasta was</i>
<i>perfectly al dente.</i>

883
00:31:57,266 --> 00:31:58,333
[Dale] Now make it
taste good, dude.

884
00:31:58,333 --> 00:31:59,800
[Kelsey] Make it work.
Make it work. Make it work.

885
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,767
[Michael] <i>If Joe gets</i>
<i>those meatballs</i>
<i>on the plate, though,</i>

886
00:32:01,767 --> 00:32:03,700
that spaghetti could
be incredible.

887
00:32:03,700 --> 00:32:04,934
Just put it in the bowl, dude.

888
00:32:04,934 --> 00:32:06,867
[Jonathon] <i>Burger gets a nice,</i>
<i>cute little baseball pick</i>

889
00:32:06,867 --> 00:32:08,100
<i>on top of it</i>

890
00:32:08,100 --> 00:32:10,867
<i>on a enamelware</i>
<i>blue rim plate.</i>

891
00:32:10,867 --> 00:32:12,000
-[Guy] 30 seconds!
-[Jonathon] Done.

892
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,100
[Guy] Okay.

893
00:32:13,100 --> 00:32:15,000
-[cheering]
-[Guy] Jonathon Sawyer is
done first.

894
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,200
[Kelsey cheering]
Get it on the plate.

895
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,767
-[Guy] 15 seconds, Joe.
-[Stephanie] Oh, my gosh.

896
00:32:18,767 --> 00:32:20,367
-Meatballs, meatballs,
meatballs.
-[Michael] Incredible.

897
00:32:20,367 --> 00:32:22,266
[Kelsey] Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.
Talk about the nick of time.

898
00:32:22,266 --> 00:32:23,834
Five, four,

899
00:32:24,567 --> 00:32:26,133
three, two,

900
00:32:26,467 --> 00:32:27,867
one. That's it!

901
00:32:27,867 --> 00:32:29,767
-[Jet and Michael] Wow!
-[both cheering]

902
00:32:29,767 --> 00:32:31,266
[Rocco chuckling] Wow.

903
00:32:31,266 --> 00:32:32,266
[Jet] Wow.

904
00:32:32,266 --> 00:32:33,700
Relay ridiculousness.

905
00:32:33,700 --> 00:32:35,367
-What a recovery.
-[Stephanie] Impressive, sir!

906
00:32:35,367 --> 00:32:38,166
What took so long
on the meatball thing?

907
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:38,934
Oh, because there was

908
00:32:38,934 --> 00:32:40,433
ground beef
already cooked off.

909
00:32:40,900 --> 00:32:41,867
[Dale] <i>That was very hard.</i>

910
00:32:41,867 --> 00:32:43,166
<i>And we are going up against</i>

911
00:32:43,166 --> 00:32:44,500
<i>some award-winning chefs</i>
<i>today,</i>

912
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:47,100
<i>people who are just dominant</i>
<i>at what they do.</i>

913
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:48,667
So there's no
easy layups here.

914
00:32:48,667 --> 00:32:50,967
[Jonathon] <i>I feel like</i>
<i>we killed it on the gameplay.</i>

915
00:32:50,967 --> 00:32:52,100
<i>We have great flavor.</i>

916
00:32:52,100 --> 00:32:53,567
<i>So I'm-- fingers crossed.</i>

917
00:32:53,567 --> 00:32:55,400
<i>Liking our burger</i>
<i>and fry combo.</i>

918
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,266
Now that's what I call
a dinner rush.

919
00:32:57,266 --> 00:32:59,100
Let's take it to the judges.

920
00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:02,467
[Guy] All right,
here we go, judges.

921
00:33:02,467 --> 00:33:05,300
The second heat
of our All-Star Relay Rumble.

922
00:33:05,300 --> 00:33:06,300
Oh, boy.

923
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:07,333
[chuckles]

924
00:33:07,333 --> 00:33:10,800
Our Award Winners
and Competition All-Stars have

925
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,567
completed their team dishes.

926
00:33:12,567 --> 00:33:14,767
But is the dish
that they're serving you

927
00:33:14,767 --> 00:33:16,100
the dish that I ordered?

928
00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,467
First up, presenting,
Chef Sawyer.

929
00:33:18,467 --> 00:33:21,066
Give us the tale of the tape.

930
00:33:21,066 --> 00:33:22,867
Illustrious host,
esteemed judges,

931
00:33:22,867 --> 00:33:24,166
thank you
for letting me represent

932
00:33:24,166 --> 00:33:25,800
the Award-Winning team.

933
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,000
-[all laugh]
-[Jonathon] Okay?

934
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Here we have
a classic combination

935
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,266
<i>of meatless burger and fries.</i>

936
00:33:32,266 --> 00:33:33,867
Burger delicious,
sauce as always

937
00:33:33,867 --> 00:33:35,400
ketchup, mayo,

938
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,400
mustard, and relish.

939
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,367
In your basket, you have
some sweet potato fries.

940
00:33:38,367 --> 00:33:40,600
For those of you who have
seen me over the past year,

941
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,467
I have lost 68 pounds.

942
00:33:42,467 --> 00:33:43,600
-[Crista whoops]
-Oh.

943
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Is that how much it is?

944
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,066
-Yes.
-[Guy] You're looking good.

945
00:33:46,066 --> 00:33:49,166
And my teammates know
I can't waste any calories,

946
00:33:49,166 --> 00:33:50,266
so they didn't give me
any white potatoes.

947
00:33:50,266 --> 00:33:51,200
They gave me
the sweet potatoes...

948
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,000
[all laugh]

949
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,200
[Jonathon]
...which we twice blanched,

950
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:55,467
tossed
with a little cornstarch

951
00:33:55,467 --> 00:33:56,867
and cayenne and salt.

952
00:33:56,867 --> 00:33:58,634
Let's go ahead and bring
your other two chefs in.

953
00:33:59,166 --> 00:34:00,500
Chef Crista, Chef Rocco.

954
00:34:03,266 --> 00:34:05,266
Chef Crista, you did the shop.

955
00:34:05,266 --> 00:34:07,400
Rocco, you inherited
what she gave you.

956
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,500
Chef Jonathon plated it
all together.

957
00:34:09,867 --> 00:34:10,934
Congratulations.

958
00:34:10,934 --> 00:34:12,467
You couldn't have hit it
about any more true blue.

959
00:34:12,467 --> 00:34:14,300
<i>It was a burger and fry combo.</i>

960
00:34:14,300 --> 00:34:15,967
<i>It was to be made vegetarian.</i>

961
00:34:15,967 --> 00:34:18,367
<i>The red light special,</i>
<i>pickle relish,</i>

962
00:34:18,367 --> 00:34:20,166
which you incorporated
into your secret sauce.

963
00:34:20,166 --> 00:34:20,967
Yeah.

964
00:34:20,967 --> 00:34:22,567
There was a little bit
of a mix-up

965
00:34:22,567 --> 00:34:24,400
<i>with the patty going</i>
<i>on the floor.</i>

966
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,100
That's a special technique

967
00:34:26,100 --> 00:34:27,800
I reserve
for competition only.

968
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,166
-Okay.
-The last 10 seconds
of a competition,

969
00:34:30,166 --> 00:34:31,166
you need to drop something
on the floor.

970
00:34:31,166 --> 00:34:32,333
It's for good luck.

971
00:34:33,166 --> 00:34:34,100
[Guy] Let's go to the judges.

972
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:35,066
Chef Jet.

973
00:34:35,066 --> 00:34:37,667
Award winners,
you've lived up to your name.

974
00:34:37,667 --> 00:34:38,634
Yes.

975
00:34:38,634 --> 00:34:42,266
Crista, I think you were
truly the star in this

976
00:34:42,266 --> 00:34:44,066
because you set everyone up.

977
00:34:44,066 --> 00:34:46,100
It's a tremendous burger.

978
00:34:46,100 --> 00:34:47,600
I want more from the fries.

979
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:51,867
I think you set
yourself up for pain

980
00:34:51,867 --> 00:34:53,700
<i>by going for sweet potatoes.</i>

981
00:34:53,700 --> 00:34:55,767
Gameplay, outstanding.
Burger, outstanding.

982
00:34:55,767 --> 00:34:56,767
Fries,

983
00:34:56,767 --> 00:34:58,133
I need it more crispy.

984
00:34:58,967 --> 00:35:00,100
Heard, chef.

985
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,200
I won't be as mean as Jet.

986
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,800
I think that it was
really, really smart

987
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,700
to have multiple
vegetarian meat substitutes,

988
00:35:07,700 --> 00:35:09,500
<i>because you made it</i>
<i>feel meaty.</i>

989
00:35:09,500 --> 00:35:10,800
It eats and rivals

990
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,867
any vegetarian burger
that I've ever had.

991
00:35:12,867 --> 00:35:13,900
You don't miss meat at all.

992
00:35:13,900 --> 00:35:15,800
You've added that earthiness
from the mushrooms,

993
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,266
<i>all that salty note</i>
<i>from the Parmesan cheese.</i>

994
00:35:18,266 --> 00:35:20,400
I almost think
that Rocco dropped that
on the floor

995
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,800
to give Sawyer
something to do,

996
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:22,900
-because...
-[all laugh]

997
00:35:22,900 --> 00:35:24,400
[Stephanie] ...they were
just about done with the dish.

998
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,600
So thank you.

999
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,266
Crista, I've never seen

1000
00:35:27,266 --> 00:35:28,567
anyone get a smart shop done

1001
00:35:28,567 --> 00:35:30,367
and do that much cooking

1002
00:35:30,367 --> 00:35:31,467
before the next chef came in.

1003
00:35:31,467 --> 00:35:33,500
I'm available for hire
any day.

1004
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:34,533
[Stephanie] You're so fast

1005
00:35:34,533 --> 00:35:37,567
and so intentional
with everything that you did.

1006
00:35:37,567 --> 00:35:39,567
<i>Dipping sauce, delicious.</i>

1007
00:35:39,567 --> 00:35:42,367
Fries, I could just kind
of be... [mutters negatively]

1008
00:35:42,367 --> 00:35:44,100
I'm a French fry connoisseur.

1009
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,667
I eat French fries

1010
00:35:45,667 --> 00:35:47,367
as many days
of the week as I can.

1011
00:35:47,367 --> 00:35:48,767
<i>I see the sweet potato play</i>

1012
00:35:48,767 --> 00:35:49,767
<i>because you're</i>
<i>going vegetarian</i>

1013
00:35:49,767 --> 00:35:52,266
<i>and you want to go along</i>
<i>that healthy route.</i>

1014
00:35:52,266 --> 00:35:53,300
But it is really hard

1015
00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:55,767
to get sweet potatoes
not to be a little burnt,

1016
00:35:55,767 --> 00:35:57,934
overly caramelized,
not crispy.

1017
00:35:58,467 --> 00:35:59,567
Huh!

1018
00:35:59,567 --> 00:36:01,033
Hey, sounds like
somebody might
have told you that.

1019
00:36:01,567 --> 00:36:03,667
-Yes, Dad.
-[Guy] Ah.

1020
00:36:03,667 --> 00:36:05,000
All right, nice job.

1021
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,567
Judges, there's
100 points available,

1022
00:36:06,567 --> 00:36:08,266
40 points available in taste,

1023
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:10,900
40 points in the gameplay.

1024
00:36:10,900 --> 00:36:13,467
Did they satisfy
all of the categories?

1025
00:36:13,467 --> 00:36:15,400
And 20 points for the plating.

1026
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,367
Is it appetizing?
Did you get a good portion?

1027
00:36:17,367 --> 00:36:18,300
So forth.

1028
00:36:18,300 --> 00:36:19,767
100 points total.

1029
00:36:19,767 --> 00:36:21,300
And here to present
the second team's dish,

1030
00:36:21,667 --> 00:36:22,433
Mustache Joe.

1031
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,333
-[Jet laughs]
-[Rocco chuckles]

1032
00:36:26,166 --> 00:36:29,300
What do you think
you were supposed to present?

1033
00:36:29,300 --> 00:36:30,900
Spaghetti and meatballs.

1034
00:36:32,266 --> 00:36:34,166
<i>There's no meat in this,</i>
<i>believe it or not.</i>

1035
00:36:34,166 --> 00:36:36,000
<i>Incorporating lots</i>
<i>of Asian ingredients</i>

1036
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,300
<i>to give you that umami impact.</i>

1037
00:36:38,300 --> 00:36:39,266
My mom,

1038
00:36:39,266 --> 00:36:41,567
she used to break up
all the meatballs for me

1039
00:36:41,567 --> 00:36:42,867
in the sauce.

1040
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:45,000
So I left you
one meatball whole

1041
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,333
and the rest are
all broken down.

1042
00:36:48,166 --> 00:36:50,166
Let's go ahead and bring KBC

1043
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:52,066
and Chef Dale Talde in.

1044
00:36:52,066 --> 00:36:55,166
KBC, you were the shopper
and quite proficient.

1045
00:36:55,166 --> 00:36:56,066
Thank you.

1046
00:36:56,066 --> 00:36:58,367
Chef Talde, you came in
right behind her,

1047
00:36:58,367 --> 00:36:59,867
and then Joe Sasto.

1048
00:36:59,867 --> 00:37:01,367
Joe, what you were
supposed to make was

1049
00:37:01,367 --> 00:37:03,266
a classic duo
of spaghetti and meatballs.

1050
00:37:03,266 --> 00:37:05,033
Ah, wow.

1051
00:37:05,667 --> 00:37:07,166
<i>It was to be made vegetarian.</i>

1052
00:37:07,166 --> 00:37:08,667
<i>And then there was</i>
<i>a red light special.</i>

1053
00:37:08,667 --> 00:37:10,600
<i>Chef Talde grabbed</i>
<i>some chili sauce.</i>

1054
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,000
When did you come
to the epiphany

1055
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,667
that you needed
to make a meatball?

1056
00:37:13,667 --> 00:37:15,867
Well, I was looking at the can

1057
00:37:15,867 --> 00:37:17,166
of spaghetti and meatballs,

1058
00:37:17,166 --> 00:37:19,367
and I kept on looking
at what we had on the stove,

1059
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:20,266
and then I realized

1060
00:37:20,266 --> 00:37:22,567
he would have put
the meat in that ragu

1061
00:37:22,567 --> 00:37:24,667
if it was supposed
to be together.

1062
00:37:24,667 --> 00:37:25,533
So then I was like, "Wait,

1063
00:37:25,533 --> 00:37:27,467
I'm missing
an entire component here.

1064
00:37:27,467 --> 00:37:28,667
I need to make a meatball."

1065
00:37:28,667 --> 00:37:30,667
All right, let's jump over
to the judges.

1066
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:33,166
Kelsey, you really made that
tough for them.

1067
00:37:33,166 --> 00:37:34,900
-Really?
-[Michael] Yeah.

1068
00:37:34,900 --> 00:37:36,200
You got Joe here.

1069
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,567
Put some San Marzanos
in a box of pasta

1070
00:37:37,567 --> 00:37:38,667
and just let it go.

1071
00:37:38,667 --> 00:37:40,967
I'm sorry. What am I missing?

1072
00:37:40,967 --> 00:37:43,100
I put a can of spaghetti
and meatballs.

1073
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:45,667
The fact
that you guys got there
is incredible.

1074
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:48,600
With a can of spaghetti
and meatballs.

1075
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,667
The flavors
in this dish are incredible.

1076
00:37:50,667 --> 00:37:52,767
<i>It's spicy, it's got umami,</i>

1077
00:37:52,767 --> 00:37:54,600
<i>it's got all those things</i>
<i>that you want,</i>

1078
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,467
but it was supposed
to be spaghetti and meatballs.

1079
00:37:57,467 --> 00:37:59,800
<i>I got a spaghetti</i>
<i>and meatball,</i>

1080
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,400
but also
the meatball was rushed.

1081
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:02,967
And you could tell, eating it,

1082
00:38:02,967 --> 00:38:04,600
it wasn't as thoughtful
as the flavors

1083
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,600
in the rest of the pasta.

1084
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,367
I'm kind of happy
that you went down the route

1085
00:38:08,367 --> 00:38:09,900
of getting
all these Asian ingredients

1086
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,567
and really speaking
to Dale's flavor profile,

1087
00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:14,600
because he jumps in next

1088
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,567
<i>and makes a dish</i>
<i>that I just want to keep</i>
<i>eating and eating.</i>

1089
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:19,600
Had you described tomatoes
in a box of spaghetti

1090
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:20,667
and made it super obvious,

1091
00:38:20,667 --> 00:38:22,266
we might not have had this...

1092
00:38:22,266 --> 00:38:24,367
flavor bomb of spaghetti
in front of us.

1093
00:38:24,367 --> 00:38:25,934
So the day got better
because of your shop.

1094
00:38:26,767 --> 00:38:27,800
[Jet] I got to say,

1095
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,233
I'm surrounded by so many...

1096
00:38:29,700 --> 00:38:30,900
winners and all-stars here.

1097
00:38:30,900 --> 00:38:32,100
And I was a little worried

1098
00:38:32,100 --> 00:38:35,166
watching Dale kind of like not
see the spaghetti meatball.

1099
00:38:35,166 --> 00:38:36,367
And then Joe,

1100
00:38:36,367 --> 00:38:37,700
you flew in on your cape

1101
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:38,967
and saved the day,

1102
00:38:38,967 --> 00:38:41,600
which made this a very,
very delicious dish.

1103
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,600
<i>This kind of hot,</i>
<i>numbing spice</i>

1104
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,667
<i>Szechuan situation is</i>
<i>pretty good.</i>

1105
00:38:47,667 --> 00:38:49,867
And then when you went in
for that red light special,

1106
00:38:49,867 --> 00:38:51,367
went for chili sauce,

1107
00:38:51,367 --> 00:38:53,700
it really kind of brings
this whole dish together.

1108
00:38:54,266 --> 00:38:55,834
Thank you. Great job, teams.

1109
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,867
All right, judges,
what do you think?

1110
00:38:58,867 --> 00:39:00,166
It's a tough situation, right?

1111
00:39:00,166 --> 00:39:01,667
In the burger and fry,

1112
00:39:01,667 --> 00:39:02,867
phenomenal burger,

1113
00:39:02,867 --> 00:39:04,166
not a great fry.

1114
00:39:04,166 --> 00:39:06,867
On the other side of it,
we didn't get meatballs.

1115
00:39:06,867 --> 00:39:08,100
We got a meatball.

1116
00:39:08,100 --> 00:39:09,667
Yeah, they nailed
the spaghetti.

1117
00:39:09,667 --> 00:39:11,300
They nailed the burger.

1118
00:39:11,300 --> 00:39:13,467
They had struggles
with the meatball.

1119
00:39:13,467 --> 00:39:15,200
They had struggles
with the sweet potato.

1120
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,600
Which, when you have chefs
of this caliber,

1121
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,000
that's going to--
what's going to happen?

1122
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,667
It's going to come down
to one bite.

1123
00:39:19,667 --> 00:39:20,667
All right, let's score it up.

1124
00:39:20,667 --> 00:39:21,567
Let's see where you're at.

1125
00:39:21,567 --> 00:39:24,266
We have 40 points available
in gameplay,

1126
00:39:24,266 --> 00:39:25,967
40 points available
in the taste,

1127
00:39:25,967 --> 00:39:27,700
and 20 points in the plating.

1128
00:39:28,667 --> 00:39:30,400
[tense music playing]

1129
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:35,367
[Guy] I will tell you what,

1130
00:39:35,367 --> 00:39:38,467
this relay rumble is
ridiculous.

1131
00:39:38,467 --> 00:39:41,166
The team
with the highest score will
be moving on.

1132
00:39:41,166 --> 00:39:44,166
Let's take a look
at the Award Winners.

1133
00:39:44,166 --> 00:39:45,834
Out of 40 points in gameplay,

1134
00:39:46,500 --> 00:39:48,166
40. Nice.

1135
00:39:48,166 --> 00:39:49,567
Take that. I'll take that.

1136
00:39:49,567 --> 00:39:51,300
-Oh, wow.
-Wow.

1137
00:39:51,300 --> 00:39:53,000
[Guy] In taste, 28.

1138
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:54,033
I do believe

1139
00:39:54,033 --> 00:39:57,634
this has a lot to do
with the sweet potato fries.

1140
00:39:58,500 --> 00:39:59,734
In plating,

1141
00:40:00,367 --> 00:40:01,400
17.

1142
00:40:01,867 --> 00:40:02,834
For a total of...

1143
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:04,166
85.

1144
00:40:04,166 --> 00:40:05,367
Okay.

1145
00:40:05,367 --> 00:40:06,667
Wow.

1146
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,367
[Guy] Top Chef All-Stars,
you need to beat an 85.

1147
00:40:10,367 --> 00:40:12,367
Big money, big money,
big money, big money.

1148
00:40:12,367 --> 00:40:14,333
[Guy] Gameplay, 34.

1149
00:40:15,867 --> 00:40:17,867
Taste, 36.

1150
00:40:17,867 --> 00:40:19,166
Wow, okay.

1151
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:21,166
And for plating, a 17.

1152
00:40:21,166 --> 00:40:23,567
-Congratulations
with a win of 87.
-[Dale whoops]

1153
00:40:23,567 --> 00:40:25,467
Yeah! Yeah!

1154
00:40:25,467 --> 00:40:26,800
[Kelsey and Joe] Wow.

1155
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:28,567
-[Joe] Oh, my God.
-[laughing]

1156
00:40:28,567 --> 00:40:29,667
[Dale] I'm a big dummy.

1157
00:40:29,667 --> 00:40:32,600
[Guy] Award winners, we have
all had sweet potatoes.

1158
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:36,000
We have all gone through
that question of double frying

1159
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:36,900
and how does it work.

1160
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:38,867
I don't think
there was a miss on this.

1161
00:40:38,867 --> 00:40:39,800
I think that what this was is

1162
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,100
it just wasn't as great
as your burger was.

1163
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:44,667
But unfortunately,
only one team can move on.

1164
00:40:44,667 --> 00:40:46,767
It was great having you.
Thank you.

1165
00:40:46,767 --> 00:40:47,867
-[Dale] Good job.
-[Joe] Good job.

1166
00:40:47,867 --> 00:40:49,100
We're disappointed we lost.

1167
00:40:49,100 --> 00:40:50,367
We think we did a great job.

1168
00:40:50,367 --> 00:40:53,100
I mean, from the shop
to the mid-execution

1169
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:54,567
to the final execution,

1170
00:40:54,567 --> 00:40:55,867
<i>the performance was flawless.</i>

1171
00:40:55,867 --> 00:40:57,567
-[Crista] You're welcome.
-Thank you...

1172
00:40:57,567 --> 00:40:59,100
Clearly,
someone didn't understand

1173
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:00,066
when they made these aprons

1174
00:41:00,066 --> 00:41:01,634
that we were the winners.

1175
00:41:02,567 --> 00:41:04,367
We are not happy, Guy, okay?

1176
00:41:04,367 --> 00:41:06,400
That's right.
We want a do-over.

1177
00:41:10,266 --> 00:41:12,567
Give it up for TC All Stars!

1178
00:41:12,567 --> 00:41:14,000
[Rocco and Dale whoop]

1179
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,266
-[Joe mimics horn]
-[Guy chuckles]

1180
00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:18,166
Now listen, you do not have

1181
00:41:18,166 --> 00:41:20,000
the highest score
of the tournament,

1182
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,567
but you have
earned yourself a spot

1183
00:41:21,567 --> 00:41:22,667
in the semifinals.

1184
00:41:22,667 --> 00:41:24,367
The TOC Champs,

1185
00:41:24,367 --> 00:41:25,867
<i>at a score of 93,</i>

1186
00:41:25,867 --> 00:41:27,266
<i>they might have the shot</i>

1187
00:41:27,266 --> 00:41:28,567
of going
around the semifinals,

1188
00:41:28,567 --> 00:41:29,367
going directly to the finale.

1189
00:41:29,367 --> 00:41:32,166
But that will be
determined next week

1190
00:41:32,166 --> 00:41:34,567
when we have
two more battles happening,

1191
00:41:34,567 --> 00:41:35,700
and we're going to find out

1192
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:37,000
who's going to the finals

1193
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,967
and who's going to get
60,000 bucks.

1194
00:41:38,967 --> 00:41:41,100
<i>In the third</i>
<i>and final qualifying heat...</i>

1195
00:41:41,100 --> 00:41:42,166
This is brutal.

1196
00:41:42,166 --> 00:41:43,900
<i>...three of our most</i>
<i>esteemed Triple G judges...</i>

1197
00:41:43,900 --> 00:41:45,367
[guys screaming]

1198
00:41:45,367 --> 00:41:46,700
[Guy] <i>...are</i>
<i>taking on rising stars</i>

1199
00:41:46,700 --> 00:41:47,967
<i>of the food world,</i>

1200
00:41:47,967 --> 00:41:49,100
<i>the Next Generation All-Stars.</i>

1201
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:50,266
[man] I'm having fun,

1202
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:51,800
but I don't know
what I'm making.

1203
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:53,266
[whoops]

1204
00:41:53,266 --> 00:41:54,767
[Guy] <i>Will teamwork make</i>
<i>the dream work?</i>

1205
00:41:54,767 --> 00:41:57,266
-We love that.
-[Guy] <i>Or will it turn</i>
<i>into a nightmare?</i>

1206
00:41:57,266 --> 00:41:58,467
This is brutal, by the way.

1207
00:41:58,467 --> 00:42:00,166
It is hell on wheels.
