1
00:00:03,337 --> 00:00:05,537
-[Guy] Hunter,
what are you doing?
-What do you mean?
2
00:00:05,606 --> 00:00:07,039
You said it was summertime
at Flavortown.
3
00:00:07,041 --> 00:00:10,309
No, no, Hunter, I said
it's the Summer Tournament
in Flavortown.
4
00:00:10,311 --> 00:00:11,609
Oh, that's today?
5
00:00:11,611 --> 00:00:14,213
Yes, they're waiting
for us right now!
You see the crew?
6
00:00:15,616 --> 00:00:17,416
-They're here.
-Oh, shoot. Sorry, guys.
7
00:00:17,418 --> 00:00:18,851
-Come on.
-Sorry, yep. Okay, let's go.
8
00:00:18,952 --> 00:00:21,720
It's time for an epic
Summer Tournament, Hunter.
9
00:00:21,722 --> 00:00:23,022
[all exclaiming]
10
00:00:23,024 --> 00:00:24,723
[man] I hope you're ready.
11
00:00:24,725 --> 00:00:26,525
Tasting just
like summer, baby.
12
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:29,628
I've invited eight
GGG winners to face off
13
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:32,264
in an intense, five week
culinary competition.
14
00:00:32,299 --> 00:00:33,932
-Bussing.
-I'll have a bucket of that.
15
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:35,501
Tonight, our seven
remaining chefs
16
00:00:35,503 --> 00:00:37,603
try to ride
their seafood skills
17
00:00:37,605 --> 00:00:39,705
and tropical taste
into victory
18
00:00:39,707 --> 00:00:40,939
in our big Beach Bash.
19
00:00:40,941 --> 00:00:44,143
Part two of Guy's Summer Games
starts now on GGG.
20
00:00:44,211 --> 00:00:45,911
-Get that away from me.
-Why? I wanna ride.
21
00:00:50,117 --> 00:00:53,085
Well, if it isn't
the Super Summer Seven.
22
00:00:53,087 --> 00:00:54,219
Bring 'em in!
23
00:00:56,257 --> 00:00:58,757
-Hey!
-You're all smiles
this morning.
24
00:00:58,859 --> 00:01:00,993
-Yes, sir!
-Good morning, good morning.
25
00:01:00,995 --> 00:01:02,061
[Christian] I'm feeling
a little tense
26
00:01:02,162 --> 00:01:04,830
coming out of my big win
from round one.
27
00:01:04,832 --> 00:01:06,732
...to win 5,000 bucks.
Great job.
28
00:01:06,834 --> 00:01:08,200
-Nice job.
-[all clapping]
29
00:01:08,202 --> 00:01:10,502
[Christian] Flavortown is ju
like going to summer camp,
30
00:01:10,504 --> 00:01:12,304
you have no idea
what you're in for.
31
00:01:12,306 --> 00:01:13,705
-Hello.
-Hello.
32
00:01:13,707 --> 00:01:15,808
Great. Nice beach hat.
That looks good.
33
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:17,443
Last week I was
in the bottom two.
34
00:01:17,544 --> 00:01:18,811
I ended up having to go
to Sudden Death
35
00:01:18,813 --> 00:01:20,813
and trying to save myself
in the elimination round.
36
00:01:20,815 --> 00:01:22,948
[Guy] Surviving
the elimination round
is tough,
37
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:25,584
but I hope that scares you
straight and gets you focused.
38
00:01:25,586 --> 00:01:27,019
[Dan] Coming into this week
I wanna show people
39
00:01:27,021 --> 00:01:28,554
that I have what it takes
to hang with them.
40
00:01:28,622 --> 00:01:29,888
-Welcome back.
-Great to be back.
41
00:01:29,890 --> 00:01:31,423
It's like the guy from Jaws
42
00:01:31,425 --> 00:01:34,526
How fitting that you
would wear that hat
43
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:38,464
that reminds me total
of Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws
44
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:39,965
-Doesn't he?
-Go big or go home.
45
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:42,201
All right. You all survived
the first week.
46
00:01:43,704 --> 00:01:46,305
Congratulations. First week
of Summer Games is not easy.
47
00:01:47,408 --> 00:01:49,808
I can see that you've been
working on your tans.
48
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:52,311
I see no apron string lines.
49
00:01:52,313 --> 00:01:53,946
Tonight we're gonna have
a little Beach Bash.
50
00:01:54,014 --> 00:01:55,446
-Love it.
-Heard.
51
00:01:55,448 --> 00:01:58,283
I thought we would celebrate
by making a bee-line
to the beach
52
00:01:58,285 --> 00:02:02,488
for some tasty food to go
with some "tasty waves!"
53
00:02:02,490 --> 00:02:04,022
-Name the movie.
-Fast Times.
54
00:02:04,024 --> 00:02:05,023
[Guy] Fast Times, thank y.
55
00:02:05,025 --> 00:02:06,492
Same rules apply.
56
00:02:06,494 --> 00:02:10,062
Chef that does the best,
makes the best dish,
gets what?
57
00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:12,231
Five thousand bucks.
58
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:14,466
And automatically
moves on to next week.
59
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:17,703
The two in the bottom
are gonna face off
in an elimination round
60
00:02:17,705 --> 00:02:19,338
where it's just
kinda like Jaws.
61
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:21,640
One chef will
go down for good.
62
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:23,041
See the Jaws reference?
[laughs]
63
00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:24,676
There you go. Dun, dun, dun...
64
00:02:24,678 --> 00:02:27,813
I just saw you do that,
and I'm gonna put that
on the show. For sure.
65
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:29,715
The chef that conquers
66
00:02:29,717 --> 00:02:32,117
my five-week
Summer Games challenges,
67
00:02:32,119 --> 00:02:34,052
will earn
a championship trophy
68
00:02:34,688 --> 00:02:37,823
and up to $25,000
69
00:02:37,825 --> 00:02:40,726
in our Big Summer
Shopping Spree.
70
00:02:40,728 --> 00:02:41,760
-Oh, yeah.
-Yeah.
71
00:02:41,862 --> 00:02:43,362
So, for your first challenge,
I want you to make
72
00:02:43,430 --> 00:02:46,298
some delicious seafood, okay?
73
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:48,634
Let's make the judges
a seafood sandwich.
74
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:51,303
Now, I don't care
if it's a gilled cheese,
75
00:02:51,305 --> 00:02:53,338
or if it's a peanut butter
and jellyfish.
76
00:02:53,407 --> 00:02:54,640
[all laughing]
77
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:56,141
We don't have time
to actually go to the beach,
78
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:58,043
so we are going to bring
the beach to you.
79
00:02:58,145 --> 00:02:59,611
-Hunter!
-No...
80
00:02:59,613 --> 00:03:00,646
[sighs wearily]
81
00:03:02,416 --> 00:03:03,415
[Hunter] Yeah, buddy!
82
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:04,449
[all laughing]
83
00:03:04,551 --> 00:03:05,984
Wow.
84
00:03:05,986 --> 00:03:09,221
We couldn't let Hunter,
when he was a child,
play in the sandbox
85
00:03:09,223 --> 00:03:10,556
because the cat
kept burying him.
86
00:03:10,624 --> 00:03:12,224
[all laughing]
87
00:03:12,927 --> 00:03:14,426
Hunter, what did you do here?
88
00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:16,195
I placed cans in the sand,
pretty much.
89
00:03:16,197 --> 00:03:17,329
-Yeah.
-Oh, good name!
90
00:03:17,331 --> 00:03:19,231
There's Cans In the Sand.
91
00:03:19,233 --> 00:03:23,202
-[laughs]
-Each chef is going to get
to dig through and find a can,
92
00:03:23,204 --> 00:03:24,903
and what is
inside of that can,
93
00:03:24,905 --> 00:03:27,839
you must incorporate
into your seafood sandwich.
94
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:30,108
But I have to let the winner
from the first week,
95
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:31,610
Chef Christian, go first.
96
00:03:33,113 --> 00:03:35,013
[Christian] Oh, okay.
97
00:03:36,417 --> 00:03:37,416
[Guy exclaims]
98
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:39,851
[Guy] There we go.
99
00:03:39,953 --> 00:03:40,852
What do you got there?
100
00:03:40,888 --> 00:03:43,222
Delicious hearts of palm.
101
00:03:43,224 --> 00:03:44,489
-[all clapping]
-Fantastic.
102
00:03:44,558 --> 00:03:46,124
And have you ever been
to the beach
on the East Coast?
103
00:03:46,126 --> 00:03:47,259
-Yep.
-Yes.
104
00:03:47,261 --> 00:03:49,194
Once you start unloading
everything out of the car,
105
00:03:49,196 --> 00:03:52,731
what happens to make sure
you get that spot
down at the beach?
106
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:53,899
-You run.
-Someone runs down.
107
00:03:53,901 --> 00:03:55,033
-There's a mad dash.
-Yeah.
108
00:03:55,135 --> 00:03:56,602
So everybody go.
109
00:03:58,038 --> 00:03:59,137
[Dan] Whoa.
110
00:04:01,542 --> 00:04:03,609
[Guy] Once you get it,
go back to your spot.
111
00:04:05,512 --> 00:04:07,212
Seriously? Really?
112
00:04:08,048 --> 00:04:09,114
-There...
-[all exclaiming]
113
00:04:09,116 --> 00:04:10,415
[Guy] Oh, there you go!
114
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:12,751
-What'd you get there?
-Fruit cocktail!
115
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:14,519
There you go. That's a party.
116
00:04:14,521 --> 00:04:17,256
-So, Ronicca, what'd you get?
-Mango pulp.
117
00:04:17,324 --> 00:04:18,957
-[Guy] Jonathon?
-White hominy.
118
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:20,225
[Guy in sing-song voice]
Hominy, hominy, hominy.
119
00:04:20,728 --> 00:04:22,127
[Nina] Mushy peas!
120
00:04:22,129 --> 00:04:23,962
[Guy] Mushy peas!
121
00:04:24,031 --> 00:04:25,430
[Noelle] Bamboo shoots.
122
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:27,799
-Mr. Dreyfuss?
-Papaya.
123
00:04:28,402 --> 00:04:29,735
[Gina] Fruit cocktail.
124
00:04:29,737 --> 00:04:32,638
[Guy] You've got
to incorporate
your Can In the Sand surprise,
125
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:35,107
so make it sing
inside of that sandwich.
126
00:04:35,109 --> 00:04:37,009
[clicks tongue]
Where are the carts?
127
00:04:38,212 --> 00:04:40,345
We're on a beach.
Try pushing a cart on a beach.
128
00:04:40,414 --> 00:04:41,647
Ugh.
129
00:04:41,748 --> 00:04:42,748
[Guy] He's a thinker, folks!
130
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:44,850
-Right? I got this.
-He's a thinker!
131
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:46,752
Take one off the top.
132
00:04:46,754 --> 00:04:50,322
[Guy] Don't think about it as
the fact of one of you is
gonna be eliminated tonight.
133
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:52,591
Think about it as one of you
is gonna make 5,000 bucks!
134
00:04:52,593 --> 00:04:54,092
And move on.
135
00:04:54,094 --> 00:04:59,231
Thirty minutes to shop,
prepare and plate
your seafood sandwich.
136
00:04:59,233 --> 00:05:01,333
If you say,
"Three, two, one, go,"
what happens?
137
00:05:01,402 --> 00:05:03,201
-They all run.
-[Guy whoops]
138
00:05:05,105 --> 00:05:07,205
I mean, they really were going
for that dang spot
at the beach.
139
00:05:07,207 --> 00:05:08,206
They were not messing around.
140
00:05:09,943 --> 00:05:11,443
[Ronicca] Yahoo!
141
00:05:11,445 --> 00:05:14,212
I quickly grabbed
the halibut before
somebody else gets it.
142
00:05:14,214 --> 00:05:16,515
I get my can
and it's mango pulp.
143
00:05:16,517 --> 00:05:18,817
How do I make
this seafood sandwich?
144
00:05:18,819 --> 00:05:20,919
Sweet with the mango,
but not too sweet.
145
00:05:20,921 --> 00:05:22,154
[winces]
146
00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:23,455
Bao buns.
147
00:05:23,457 --> 00:05:25,757
I cook Japanese foods
every day on my food truck,
148
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:27,592
so for my seafood sandwich
149
00:05:27,594 --> 00:05:28,960
I'm making this
halibut bao bun.
150
00:05:28,962 --> 00:05:30,796
[out of breath] Garlic. Okay.
151
00:05:30,798 --> 00:05:33,298
And then I'm going to make
a sauce out of this mango pu
152
00:05:33,300 --> 00:05:35,133
and toss that
fried halibut in it.
153
00:05:35,235 --> 00:05:36,401
It's just what we do.
154
00:05:36,403 --> 00:05:37,803
[sighs tiredly]
155
00:05:39,006 --> 00:05:40,405
[Dan] Coming from New Englan
156
00:05:40,407 --> 00:05:42,040
lobster and crab
are a perfect beach food...
157
00:05:42,042 --> 00:05:44,042
[chuckles] 'Cause they're
right from the beach!
158
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:45,043
A-ha!
159
00:05:45,045 --> 00:05:46,945
My can is canned papaya.
160
00:05:46,947 --> 00:05:49,815
Papaya is a really sweet
and awesome tropical fruit.
161
00:05:49,817 --> 00:05:53,518
I'm gonna make a beautiful,
spicy lobster and crab roll
162
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,286
[Dan mumbles]
163
00:05:55,288 --> 00:05:57,255
I'm thinking a really awesom
papaya and cucumber salsa
to put on top,
164
00:05:57,324 --> 00:05:58,857
which will offer
a little bit of crunch
165
00:05:58,926 --> 00:06:00,425
and sort of just brighten
this whole thing up.
166
00:06:00,427 --> 00:06:01,426
Cool.
167
00:06:01,428 --> 00:06:02,928
I live right by the beach.
168
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:04,830
The sun's beating down,
the waves are crashing,
169
00:06:04,832 --> 00:06:07,599
seagulls are running around
trying to grab french fries
out of your tray.
170
00:06:07,601 --> 00:06:08,900
Nothing beats it.
171
00:06:08,902 --> 00:06:11,403
I don't think any
of the things that
Hunter hid in the sand
172
00:06:11,405 --> 00:06:12,938
cannot work
in the seafood sandwich.
173
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,906
Take the sweet, make it spicy.
174
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:16,308
Any one of them would make
a great sauce.
175
00:06:16,310 --> 00:06:17,943
I think they have
it pretty easy
for this first round.
176
00:06:18,011 --> 00:06:19,311
[Jonathon] Whew.
177
00:06:19,313 --> 00:06:22,147
The main challenge for me
with this white canned homin
178
00:06:22,249 --> 00:06:23,548
it doesn't have
a lot of flavor...
179
00:06:23,617 --> 00:06:24,516
No, no, no, no, no...
180
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:26,918
And eating
at the beach is loud,
181
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,754
so I really gotta do something
with it to make it kick.
182
00:06:28,789 --> 00:06:30,055
There's some radish.
183
00:06:30,124 --> 00:06:31,957
Recently, I was with
my wife Kristen
184
00:06:32,025 --> 00:06:33,825
down in Mexico, on the beach
185
00:06:33,827 --> 00:06:35,560
We had this amazing
fish sandwich together,
186
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:36,895
and I wanna recreate
that moment.
187
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:38,330
Let's get a little
sage in there.
188
00:06:38,332 --> 00:06:39,631
So for my seafood sandwich,
189
00:06:39,633 --> 00:06:41,600
I'm thinking a nice
piece of salmon,
190
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:43,935
a nice, loud, crunch slaw,
191
00:06:44,004 --> 00:06:46,805
some hominy that I'm gonna
make into a spread
with aguachile.
192
00:06:46,807 --> 00:06:48,707
Transport myself
back to Mexico.
193
00:06:48,709 --> 00:06:50,409
Let's do this.
194
00:06:50,411 --> 00:06:53,211
[Nina] I get mushy peas,
and the only thing
that came to mind was,
195
00:06:53,213 --> 00:06:56,047
"Oh, we don't have
mushy peas in Asian cuisine."
196
00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:58,049
-What you thinking?
-I'm thinking catfish.
197
00:06:58,151 --> 00:06:59,284
Oh [straining].
198
00:06:59,286 --> 00:07:01,553
Who takes care of you?
Who's got catfish right there?
199
00:07:01,622 --> 00:07:03,288
[Nina] Yes!
200
00:07:03,290 --> 00:07:07,058
I'm thinking about making
a catfish po'boy sandwich,
Asian style.
201
00:07:07,127 --> 00:07:08,160
Similar to bahn mi.
202
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:09,561
Sriracha.
203
00:07:09,563 --> 00:07:12,431
Mixing sriracha
with my mushy pea
as a paste.
204
00:07:12,433 --> 00:07:13,498
Mayonnaise?
205
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:15,500
Just to give that nice,
creamy, little spice.
206
00:07:15,502 --> 00:07:16,802
-[exclaims]
-Come on.
207
00:07:16,804 --> 00:07:18,036
[laughs]
208
00:07:18,138 --> 00:07:20,138
[Christian] What's more beac
than a shrimp roll?
209
00:07:20,207 --> 00:07:21,273
Let's go, where's the shrimps?
210
00:07:21,275 --> 00:07:22,640
[exclaims]
211
00:07:22,642 --> 00:07:25,410
I'm gonna put the wham bam
on this can whammy ingredien
212
00:07:25,412 --> 00:07:27,145
by making it into a tapenade
213
00:07:27,247 --> 00:07:29,047
I know I need
to complement the flavors
214
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:30,816
of the heart of palm
with everything else.
215
00:07:30,818 --> 00:07:32,651
Spices...
216
00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:35,120
But it could get away from m
if I don't get it balanced
the way I want it.
217
00:07:35,722 --> 00:07:36,822
[exclaims]
218
00:07:36,824 --> 00:07:38,056
Seafood...
219
00:07:38,124 --> 00:07:39,558
I got bamboo shoots.
220
00:07:39,659 --> 00:07:43,228
They have zero flavor,
they're all texture.
221
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:44,830
Like, what are you supposed
to do with that?
222
00:07:44,832 --> 00:07:46,598
Are you a good
seafood sandwich
kinda person?
223
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,066
I like seafood sandwiches.
224
00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:51,503
So I'm gonna make
a beer-battered
fried halibut sandwich
225
00:07:51,505 --> 00:07:54,506
with a Dungeness crab
and bamboo shoot slaw.
226
00:07:54,508 --> 00:07:55,540
What else do I want?
227
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,542
Oh, shoot!
228
00:07:57,644 --> 00:08:00,245
I don't want these judges
to miss these shoots.
229
00:08:00,347 --> 00:08:02,714
I can deep fry it
so that it gets crunchy.
230
00:08:02,716 --> 00:08:07,118
And I know that the crunch
will be very well taken
inside the slaw.
231
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,356
This is California vibes,
from me, on a plate.
232
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:12,424
That should be it.
233
00:08:12,826 --> 00:08:13,825
Think.
234
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:16,061
I'm like, "What?"
235
00:08:17,064 --> 00:08:18,430
So, I love shrimp salad.
236
00:08:18,432 --> 00:08:20,532
We make it in our restaurant
like, all the time.
237
00:08:20,634 --> 00:08:22,801
So if they want
canned fruit cocktail,
238
00:08:22,803 --> 00:08:24,603
I'm taking it to the beach
with this one.
239
00:08:24,605 --> 00:08:29,307
I'm gonna use this
for the actual puree that go
into my shrimp salad.
240
00:08:29,309 --> 00:08:31,409
This canned fruit cocktail
and I are literally
241
00:08:31,411 --> 00:08:33,245
gonna become
the bestest of friends.
242
00:08:33,313 --> 00:08:36,214
I might even rub a little bit
on my arms as suntan lotion.
243
00:08:36,216 --> 00:08:37,315
Who knows?
244
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:38,416
Okay...
245
00:08:38,418 --> 00:08:40,452
-We got our salmon...
-Bread...
246
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:43,922
Secret ingredient, mango pulp.
Done.
247
00:08:43,924 --> 00:08:46,458
So here to decide which chef's
seafood sandwich
248
00:08:46,527 --> 00:08:47,926
is a shore thing
249
00:08:47,928 --> 00:08:49,628
is our trio of super judges.
250
00:08:49,630 --> 00:08:52,464
Now we have acclaimed chef
whose southern California
restaurants
251
00:08:52,533 --> 00:08:54,432
are all considered
summer hot spots,
252
00:08:54,534 --> 00:08:58,503
the neon princess warrior
herself, Chef Antonia Lofaso.
253
00:08:58,505 --> 00:09:01,239
Renowned chef
who's shaking up
the food world
254
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,008
with his West African
coastal flavors,
255
00:09:03,010 --> 00:09:05,610
the one and only
Chef Eric Adjepong!
256
00:09:05,612 --> 00:09:09,948
And the redheaded rockstar
behind the Boston
restaurant empire,
257
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:12,417
and the winner of
Tournament of Champions 3,
258
00:09:12,419 --> 00:09:15,420
-sweet team
Chef Tiffani Faison!
-Yay!
259
00:09:15,422 --> 00:09:17,322
Everybody loves seafood.
260
00:09:17,324 --> 00:09:18,623
I could actually
make an argument
261
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:21,459
that any type of seafood
can make it into a sandwich.
262
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:23,762
-Ooh.
-I don't think that's
a hard argument to make.
263
00:09:23,863 --> 00:09:27,098
I don't think you got really
anybody that's gonna debate it
with you, but that's...
264
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,401
But you really made
a profound statement.
265
00:09:29,403 --> 00:09:31,202
-Water is wet.
-Water is wet.
266
00:09:31,204 --> 00:09:32,837
-Woo!
-Let's see where they're at.
267
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:34,706
Twenty five minutes!
268
00:09:35,542 --> 00:09:37,375
Taking my little
cherry peppers...
269
00:09:37,377 --> 00:09:39,311
You got an idea
what you're making?
270
00:09:39,313 --> 00:09:44,249
I do. I'm gonna make me
a halibut fried bao bun.
271
00:09:44,318 --> 00:09:45,650
Where's the mango gonna go?
272
00:09:45,752 --> 00:09:47,052
It's going in the sauce
right here,
273
00:09:47,054 --> 00:09:49,955
I'm going to dunk the fish
inside of this.
274
00:09:49,957 --> 00:09:51,856
Got it. Got it,
got it, got it.
275
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:54,125
[Ronicca] This is something
that I have in my restauran
276
00:09:54,127 --> 00:09:55,260
and in the food trucks.
277
00:09:55,262 --> 00:09:57,729
Customers like to slather th
on everything.
278
00:09:58,432 --> 00:10:00,265
I use it on my bao buns
279
00:10:00,333 --> 00:10:02,300
and I use it
on my vegan options.
280
00:10:02,302 --> 00:10:03,735
[Guy] Ronicca, how we feeling?
281
00:10:03,737 --> 00:10:05,704
-[Ronicca] Hoping I don't
go too sweet.
-You don't wanna do that.
282
00:10:05,706 --> 00:10:07,806
[Ronicca] I need something
to offset the sweetness
283
00:10:07,808 --> 00:10:09,574
of the sweet mango pulp.
284
00:10:09,576 --> 00:10:11,109
-What are you looking for?
-I don't know.
285
00:10:11,111 --> 00:10:12,611
I feel like
it's missing something.
286
00:10:12,613 --> 00:10:14,112
Of course we all
want strategies,
287
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,513
of course we all want
the best gameplay,
288
00:10:15,515 --> 00:10:18,116
but it is so hard to have
any gameplay or a strategy
289
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,050
when you're playing with Guy.
290
00:10:30,430 --> 00:10:31,896
[Guy] Ronicca, how we feeling?
291
00:10:31,898 --> 00:10:33,898
-[Ronicca] Hoping I don't go
too sweet.
-You don't wanna do that.
292
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:36,101
I just don't want it
to be too sweet,
so I'm really nervous.
293
00:10:36,103 --> 00:10:37,235
I need some heat.
294
00:10:37,304 --> 00:10:38,903
I run and I grab Thai chilis
295
00:10:38,905 --> 00:10:41,206
The winner gets 5K
and immunity
296
00:10:41,208 --> 00:10:42,240
and I really wanna win.
297
00:10:42,342 --> 00:10:44,709
I'm trying to make this
as savory as possible.
298
00:10:44,711 --> 00:10:46,444
I'm gonna give this
a little more heat.
299
00:10:47,114 --> 00:10:48,313
What you got going on, homie?
300
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:50,215
Man, I'm doing a bao bun.
301
00:10:50,217 --> 00:10:51,916
-A bao bun.
-That's right.
302
00:10:51,918 --> 00:10:54,219
Bao down. Bao down.
303
00:10:54,221 --> 00:10:55,620
[Christian] Bao down.
304
00:10:55,622 --> 00:10:57,155
[Guy] Twenty four minutes!
305
00:10:57,224 --> 00:10:59,824
We are the captains
of the SSS,
306
00:10:59,826 --> 00:11:02,727
the Summer Seafood
Sandwich challenge.
307
00:11:02,729 --> 00:11:04,229
[Tiffani] I'm hoping that's
the boat we're on.
308
00:11:04,231 --> 00:11:06,131
This week, they now
how to can in the sand.
309
00:11:06,133 --> 00:11:10,001
So it's whether you can,
or not, make a sandwich...
310
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,236
-[judges exclaim]
-I love it.
311
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:12,704
...based on the summer,
with seafood.
312
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,639
Is there
a can opener over here?
313
00:11:14,708 --> 00:11:16,207
So, first things first,
314
00:11:16,209 --> 00:11:19,210
I need to open
my bamboo shoot can
and taste them.
315
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,013
Well, they have
no flavor whatsoever.
316
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:24,149
[disgusted noise]
317
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:25,517
All right, chef,
what's on the menu?
318
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:27,218
I have bamboo shoots.
319
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:31,256
I'm gonna put them
a in beer battered
fried halibut sandwich
320
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:34,092
with a Dungeness crab
and bamboo shoot slaw.
321
00:11:34,094 --> 00:11:37,429
-And a house made...
-Dungeness crab coleslaw?
322
00:11:37,431 --> 00:11:39,664
Is this on top of the sandwich
or is this inside?
323
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:40,831
-Inside.
-Okay.
324
00:11:40,833 --> 00:11:42,300
[Noelle] So I take
those bamboo shoots,
325
00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:44,302
throw 'em in a little bit
of flour for crunch,
326
00:11:44,304 --> 00:11:45,637
and put 'em in the fryer.
327
00:11:45,739 --> 00:11:47,505
Those will get crispy,
hopefully.
328
00:11:47,507 --> 00:11:51,009
Now, I'm gonna turn
this halibut into $5,000.
329
00:11:51,011 --> 00:11:52,944
To make the perfect
summer beer batter.
330
00:11:53,013 --> 00:11:53,945
That's Cajun.
331
00:11:54,013 --> 00:11:55,246
...get some heat in there.
332
00:11:55,248 --> 00:11:57,415
And then just throw
a whole bottle of beer.
333
00:11:57,417 --> 00:12:01,419
More Cajun, good flavors,
deep profiles.
334
00:12:01,421 --> 00:12:04,422
I'm gonna take
these hearts of palm,
get these cut up.
335
00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:06,357
Hearts of palm says,
"I like to party."
336
00:12:07,828 --> 00:12:09,327
Talk to me, Goose.
337
00:12:09,329 --> 00:12:12,230
[Christian] All right,
so I'm gonna do
a heart of palm tapenade
338
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:15,700
and then I'm gonna do
a Aleppo pepper
salt-and-pepper shrimp.
339
00:12:15,702 --> 00:12:17,836
-Right. Okay.
-But heart of palm first,
340
00:12:17,937 --> 00:12:20,605
because it is
the key ingredient
to my seafood sandwich.
341
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:24,743
Heart of palm is soft,
buttery, creamy, smooth.
342
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:26,411
Tapenade is
traditionally olives,
343
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:28,513
but with this
heart of palm tapenade,
344
00:12:28,515 --> 00:12:30,215
it's going to be creamier,
345
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:33,952
and of course spicy from
the salt of the caper
and the Fresno chile.
346
00:12:33,954 --> 00:12:35,753
[Guy] What do we got here?
347
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:39,057
[Christian] This is my heart
of palm tapenade with capers,
little bit of vinegar.
348
00:12:39,059 --> 00:12:41,726
-I'll have a bucket of that.
-Bussing.
349
00:12:41,728 --> 00:12:43,428
[Guy] Twenty one
and a half minutes.
350
00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:45,230
Captain Stupid,
what are you making?
351
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:46,631
Crab and lobster roll
352
00:12:46,633 --> 00:12:49,334
in a papaya
and cucumber salsa.
353
00:12:49,435 --> 00:12:50,434
Okay, good.
354
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:52,537
Last week not only
knocked some sense into me,
355
00:12:52,639 --> 00:12:53,838
but it really lit
a fire under me.
356
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,143
Overall the flavors are great,
I think I need more smokey.
357
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:00,278
[Dan] This time around,
my plan is to stick
to what I know
358
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,046
and keep it simple.
359
00:13:02,048 --> 00:13:07,051
So the first thing I wanna d
is work on my cucumber
and papaya salsa.
360
00:13:07,153 --> 00:13:11,022
This salsa is summer
because cucumbers
and tropical fruit,
361
00:13:11,024 --> 00:13:13,424
brightened up
with some fresh herb
and some acid,
362
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:16,427
it's almost like
a really awesome margarita.
[laughs] I don't know.
363
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:19,130
It's delicious.
364
00:13:20,233 --> 00:13:22,634
[Nina] Summertime
in Nashville is really fun.
365
00:13:22,702 --> 00:13:24,903
We got live music
and it's hot as heck.
366
00:13:24,905 --> 00:13:28,540
And we pack up the boys
and we go
to Percy Priest Beach.
367
00:13:28,641 --> 00:13:30,208
My boys go fishing
for catfish...
368
00:13:30,210 --> 00:13:31,509
I don't fish.
369
00:13:31,511 --> 00:13:33,945
I just don't like
touching the worms.
370
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:35,246
All right, Chef, show me.
371
00:13:35,348 --> 00:13:37,615
I'm making an Asian
catfish po'boy.
372
00:13:37,617 --> 00:13:38,950
-Asian catfish po'boy.
-...catfish po'boy.
373
00:13:38,952 --> 00:13:40,218
-Yes.
-What else we got on there?
374
00:13:40,220 --> 00:13:42,554
Wanna make some
mushy pea sauce
for the spread.
375
00:13:42,655 --> 00:13:43,821
Okay, all righty.
376
00:13:44,858 --> 00:13:46,958
[Nina] I'm gonna get starte
on my sauce.
377
00:13:47,060 --> 00:13:48,827
I throw some tomatoes
and peppers on the grill.
378
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:55,700
So, I get the peas, garlic,
tomatoes and onions
in the blender,
379
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:58,703
some hot sauce
and some sriracha mayo.
380
00:13:58,705 --> 00:14:02,140
It's gonna make a good,
nice and creamy paste
for the sandwich.
381
00:14:02,209 --> 00:14:03,741
So, I taste my pea sauce.
382
00:14:04,711 --> 00:14:06,544
It tastes really good.
383
00:14:07,814 --> 00:14:09,047
[Guy] Seventeen to go!
384
00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:10,515
All right, Jon,
talk to me, buddy.
385
00:14:10,517 --> 00:14:13,351
So, my wife and I,
it was our 11th
anniversary recently,
386
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:16,521
and we were down in
Zihuantanejo, Mexico,
on the beach,
387
00:14:16,523 --> 00:14:18,623
and we had this killer
sandwich together.
388
00:14:18,625 --> 00:14:20,859
Today, I'm gonna recreate
that anniversary sandwich.
389
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,727
Anniversary sandwich,
way to sell it!
390
00:14:22,729 --> 00:14:23,828
Anniversary seafood sandwich.
391
00:14:23,830 --> 00:14:25,363
[Guy] And it was
with salmon in Mexico?
392
00:14:25,432 --> 00:14:28,800
It was not with salmon,
but I got hominy.
393
00:14:28,802 --> 00:14:30,401
I think the hominy
goes really nice,
394
00:14:30,403 --> 00:14:32,036
-the sweetness of it,
with the salmon.
-Okay.
395
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:35,406
[Jonathon] I need to start
on my hominy
aguachile spread.
396
00:14:35,408 --> 00:14:37,942
So we're gonna use
the base for the sauce
with the hominy.
397
00:14:38,011 --> 00:14:41,713
Basically, aguachile
means it tastes
like spicy, hot water,
398
00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:44,048
so I really wanna punch 'em
in the face with this.
399
00:14:44,050 --> 00:14:46,050
So I add my hominy,
'cause I have to use it.
400
00:14:47,420 --> 00:14:50,021
-What's in here?
-Aguachile white hominy aioli.
401
00:14:51,958 --> 00:14:54,225
You're gonna salt that later?
402
00:14:54,227 --> 00:14:56,728
Yep, I'm gonna see what
it tastes all with everything
and go from there.
403
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:58,696
Canned hominy, it doesn't have
a lot of flavor,
404
00:14:58,698 --> 00:15:02,200
so I'm definitely gonna have
to put something into this
to make it work.
405
00:15:02,202 --> 00:15:03,601
I'm gonna start
these shrimp real quick
406
00:15:03,603 --> 00:15:04,936
and get them cooled off
and cooking.
407
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:06,537
Where is the can?
408
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:07,705
[Guy] What are you making?
409
00:15:07,707 --> 00:15:09,707
So I'm gonna do
a shrimp sandwich
410
00:15:09,709 --> 00:15:12,043
and then I'm gonna use
my fruit cocktail,
411
00:15:12,112 --> 00:15:13,411
gonna make a little bit
of salsa and mayonnaise,
412
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:15,680
make a nice crunchy,
summery sandwich.
413
00:15:15,682 --> 00:15:17,749
It's so crazy,
it just might work.
414
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:21,219
Gina was here
on a fruit episode,
Fruit Challenge before,
415
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:22,587
and won it.
416
00:15:22,589 --> 00:15:25,223
Cool these off
so that it takes on
some of the flavors
417
00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:26,724
of the jackfruit
while it's steaming.
418
00:15:26,726 --> 00:15:28,927
-She's back...
-[Eric] With more fruit.
419
00:15:28,929 --> 00:15:30,695
...and the beach gods
have given her fruit cocktail.
420
00:15:30,697 --> 00:15:31,863
[judges laughing]
421
00:15:31,931 --> 00:15:34,933
The fruit cocktail's making me
a little nutty, I think.
422
00:15:34,935 --> 00:15:37,235
This is the dressing
for my shrimp salad.
423
00:15:37,337 --> 00:15:41,739
In the blender, I have
my canned fruit cocktail
and jalapenos.
424
00:15:41,841 --> 00:15:45,710
I used celery, onion,
a little bit of spices,
mayonnaise...
425
00:15:45,712 --> 00:15:46,945
I mix that in.
426
00:15:50,417 --> 00:15:52,016
It's fruity!
427
00:15:52,018 --> 00:15:54,719
I need my shrimp salad
to taste like the canned
fruit cocktail.
428
00:15:54,721 --> 00:15:57,221
I am celebrating the can.
429
00:15:57,223 --> 00:16:00,024
This is really,
really cool together.
430
00:16:00,026 --> 00:16:01,526
Who knew? Fruit cocktail, huh?
431
00:16:01,528 --> 00:16:04,262
Your shrimp
are cooked perfectly.
432
00:16:04,297 --> 00:16:06,030
-Thank you, Chef.
-Nice snap to 'em.
433
00:16:06,032 --> 00:16:08,800
-Where is the fruit cocktail?
-It's in the shrimp.
434
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:13,104
I don't know that I get
as much shrimp cocktail
in there
435
00:16:13,106 --> 00:16:14,339
as you might be
trying to achieve.
436
00:16:15,208 --> 00:16:16,207
Heard.
437
00:16:16,209 --> 00:16:17,842
You know, what do
I do with it?
438
00:16:17,844 --> 00:16:20,578
I need my shrimp salad
to taste like the canned
fruit cocktail, you know.
439
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:24,182
I don't wanna hide it,
I wanna show it, you know.
440
00:16:24,184 --> 00:16:26,451
Okay, well, we're gonna have
to do something different.
441
00:16:36,730 --> 00:16:39,230
I don't know that I get
as much shrimp cocktail
in there
442
00:16:39,232 --> 00:16:41,332
as you might be
trying to achieve.
443
00:16:41,401 --> 00:16:43,801
Heard. Hey, well,
we're gonna have to do
something different.
444
00:16:43,803 --> 00:16:45,603
So I was cutting up a tomat
445
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:47,204
and it dawned on me, like,
446
00:16:47,206 --> 00:16:50,508
mix the rest of the can
of the fruit and add
the tomato to that
447
00:16:50,510 --> 00:16:53,344
and make that into a salsa
for a final topping.
448
00:16:53,413 --> 00:16:55,546
The remaining fruit cocktail,
a little bit of onions,
449
00:16:55,548 --> 00:16:56,814
and we're gonna go from there.
450
00:17:01,521 --> 00:17:02,954
[Guy] Chefs, we've got
15 minutes!
451
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:04,722
[Noelle] Feels like
I'm at the beach.
452
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:06,724
So, my fish is in the fryer
453
00:17:06,726 --> 00:17:08,226
with my bamboo shoots
454
00:17:08,228 --> 00:17:10,161
as my whammy ingredient.
455
00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:13,131
And now I have to make
my duck egg aioli,
456
00:17:13,133 --> 00:17:15,400
'cause I know that
it's thicker and better
457
00:17:15,402 --> 00:17:17,702
and gonna be the fancy
side of the beach.
458
00:17:17,704 --> 00:17:19,937
So now, I need to start
on my crab slaw.
459
00:17:19,939 --> 00:17:21,105
Got my crab...
460
00:17:21,107 --> 00:17:23,041
I start with my crab
461
00:17:23,043 --> 00:17:24,609
and my duck egg aioli.
462
00:17:24,611 --> 00:17:27,245
Then I'm throwing in
serrano peppers,
463
00:17:27,313 --> 00:17:30,515
parsley, dill and those
bamboo shoots.
464
00:17:30,517 --> 00:17:32,283
It's nice and herbaceous.
465
00:17:32,285 --> 00:17:34,852
Let's do my cabbage in there.
466
00:17:34,921 --> 00:17:37,955
-That slaw's going on top?
-Slaw's going in the sandwich.
467
00:17:37,957 --> 00:17:40,658
I've got crispy fried
bamboo shoots,
468
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,828
and I have slaw bamboo shoots.
469
00:17:43,830 --> 00:17:46,531
And slaw bamboo shoots,
you got bamboo everywhere.
470
00:17:46,533 --> 00:17:47,832
[Christian] Yes, sir.
471
00:17:48,334 --> 00:17:49,400
For my shrimp roll,
472
00:17:49,468 --> 00:17:51,035
I got my heart of palm
tapenade finished
473
00:17:51,037 --> 00:17:54,038
and now it's time to work o
my aji panca aioli.
474
00:17:54,140 --> 00:17:55,506
It needs to provide contras
475
00:17:55,508 --> 00:17:57,208
to the heart of palm tapenad
476
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:59,310
Gonna make this one
on the spicier side.
477
00:17:59,312 --> 00:18:02,513
So I've got Tajin
and aji panca,
478
00:18:02,515 --> 00:18:04,515
mayo and spicy mustard.
479
00:18:05,018 --> 00:18:06,150
A little more Tajin...
480
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:07,518
Now that my aioli is finishe
481
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:08,986
it's time for me
to work on my shrimp.
482
00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:10,221
Where we at there?
483
00:18:10,223 --> 00:18:12,757
-Working on my dredge
for my shrimp.
-Okay.
484
00:18:12,825 --> 00:18:14,024
[Christian] If we're going
to the beach,
485
00:18:14,026 --> 00:18:15,660
I am in charge of bringing
the basket of food.
486
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,628
Cooking on the beach,
eating on the beach,
487
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:19,464
it's really just what I do.
488
00:18:21,568 --> 00:18:24,001
Chefs, we got 10 minutes,
10 to go!
489
00:18:24,003 --> 00:18:25,837
[Dan] Just getting
my salad together here.
490
00:18:25,905 --> 00:18:26,971
Crab and lobster.
491
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:30,208
For my cold crab
and lobster roll,
492
00:18:30,210 --> 00:18:32,210
I gotta make
an awesome dressing.
493
00:18:32,212 --> 00:18:33,911
And that's gonna start
with Japanese mayo,
494
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:35,213
a little bit of mirin,
495
00:18:35,215 --> 00:18:36,647
a little bit of sriracha,
496
00:18:36,716 --> 00:18:38,448
and some rice wine vinegar.
497
00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:43,421
I really want the lobster
and the crab to just sit there
in the mayo and the acid.
498
00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:44,522
[Guy] So, what do you got
in there?
499
00:18:44,524 --> 00:18:45,690
The sauce is looking
pretty good,
500
00:18:45,692 --> 00:18:47,091
I'm gonna rework it
in a second,
501
00:18:47,093 --> 00:18:49,127
just make sure the flavors
are really getting
where I want 'em.
502
00:18:50,029 --> 00:18:51,529
I think nice, big chunks
of seafood.
503
00:18:51,531 --> 00:18:53,331
-That's great.
-I'm feeling okay right now.
504
00:18:55,101 --> 00:18:56,000
Whew.
505
00:18:58,204 --> 00:18:59,237
[Guy] Where are
the mushy peas?
506
00:18:59,305 --> 00:19:01,038
In here, I blended it
all in together.
507
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,206
[Guy] Are they gonna
be able to find it?
508
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:03,641
Recognize that it was
a mushy pea?
509
00:19:03,710 --> 00:19:06,110
You know what?
I might add another can.
510
00:19:06,112 --> 00:19:07,912
Okay, I'm gonna open up
another can
511
00:19:07,914 --> 00:19:09,914
and I'm gonna
cook down the peas
512
00:19:09,916 --> 00:19:12,316
and add a little bit
more spice to it.
513
00:19:12,318 --> 00:19:14,919
I want these peas to pop ou
514
00:19:14,921 --> 00:19:16,254
so the judges can taste it.
515
00:19:20,126 --> 00:19:21,726
Much better, Guy.
516
00:19:21,728 --> 00:19:22,760
-[laughs]
-There you go.
517
00:19:22,828 --> 00:19:24,228
Make sure they can find it.
518
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:26,164
I'm not gonna go home on peas.
519
00:19:26,232 --> 00:19:27,532
[Guy] Seven and half minutes!
520
00:19:29,102 --> 00:19:30,501
[Ronicca] While my sauce
is cooking down,
521
00:19:30,503 --> 00:19:31,602
I get started on my slaw.
522
00:19:32,305 --> 00:19:33,470
Mango slaw.
523
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:36,507
And I want it to stay crispy
and light and fresh,
524
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:38,209
so I char off my red pepper
525
00:19:38,211 --> 00:19:39,610
and start chopping cilantro
526
00:19:39,612 --> 00:19:42,246
my dragon fruit and my carro
527
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:45,016
with some whammy
sweet mango pulp.
528
00:19:46,619 --> 00:19:47,818
While my slaw's marinating,
529
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,253
I start to work on my halibu
530
00:19:49,322 --> 00:19:53,824
I'm gonna put this in a salty
buttermilk marinade.
531
00:19:53,826 --> 00:19:55,193
I love to go to the beach.
532
00:19:55,195 --> 00:19:57,261
Mostly because I'm such
a huge fisherman.
533
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:59,964
I don't care if I'm fishing
with a sub sandwich,
534
00:20:00,033 --> 00:20:01,232
I don't care
if I'm fishing with bait,
535
00:20:01,334 --> 00:20:03,100
I'm gonna fish and I'm gonn
bring home dinner.
536
00:20:04,504 --> 00:20:07,305
With the halibut in the frye
I start steaming my bao buns
537
00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:09,307
I know that the halibut's
gonna taste great,
538
00:20:09,309 --> 00:20:10,641
I know my slaw is great.
539
00:20:10,710 --> 00:20:12,610
I'm just really, really hoping
that it's not too sweet.
540
00:20:13,947 --> 00:20:15,612
-Oh, sorry.
-Yeah, you're good.
541
00:20:16,749 --> 00:20:19,217
[Jonathon] I've got my homin
and aguachile spread
ready to go.
542
00:20:19,219 --> 00:20:20,818
So next I need to work
on the salmon.
543
00:20:22,822 --> 00:20:23,955
Season it up
544
00:20:25,058 --> 00:20:26,457
and then hit it
with fresh lime
545
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:27,692
just like you would
on the beach,
546
00:20:27,694 --> 00:20:29,827
and get it into the pan
to start cooking.
547
00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:31,629
Now I gotta start
on this fresh slaw.
548
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:33,764
What I love on a sandwich
549
00:20:33,766 --> 00:20:35,633
is when you just have
some crunchy bits
as you go through,
550
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:37,501
so I'm gonna take
some of this hominy
551
00:20:37,503 --> 00:20:40,404
and get it in the fryer
so it's nice and crunchy
to add into the slaw.
552
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:41,839
I love fried hominy.
553
00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:43,741
[Jonathon] Feeling good!
554
00:20:44,244 --> 00:20:45,309
Like I should.
555
00:20:45,311 --> 00:20:47,645
[Guy] Dropping the fish
one more time...
556
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,413
Four and a half minutes!
You gotta get plating.
557
00:20:49,415 --> 00:20:52,216
[Noelle] I need to build
the largest sandwich...
558
00:20:52,218 --> 00:20:54,318
in human history.
559
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,420
Bread that's
perfectly grilled,
560
00:20:56,422 --> 00:20:58,122
duck egg aioli,
561
00:20:58,124 --> 00:20:59,724
crunchy bamboo shoots,
562
00:20:59,726 --> 00:21:02,326
my beer-battered halibut,
563
00:21:02,328 --> 00:21:05,062
with the Dungeness crab
and bamboo shoot slaw.
564
00:21:05,131 --> 00:21:07,598
This sandwich is massive
and beautiful.
565
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,899
Wow.
566
00:21:08,901 --> 00:21:10,801
[Christian] The shrimp
look perfect.
567
00:21:10,803 --> 00:21:14,805
Let's get this summer
beachy sandwich
on the plate.
568
00:21:14,807 --> 00:21:16,807
First with that aji panca
aioli on top.
569
00:21:18,211 --> 00:21:20,611
Then I'm gonna add
my perfectly cooked shrimp.
570
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:24,148
Then I add my
whammy-slap-your-mami
canned ingredient,
571
00:21:24,217 --> 00:21:25,883
heart of palm tapenade.
572
00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:28,052
Three and a half!
Three and a half to go!
573
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:30,154
[Gina] There is an art
to sandwich-making.
574
00:21:30,223 --> 00:21:33,391
Each bite has to be
the same bite
575
00:21:33,393 --> 00:21:36,627
and it has to convey
your message
of what that sandwich is.
576
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:37,995
So the first thing I do
577
00:21:37,997 --> 00:21:41,799
is I take my fruit cocktail
shrimp salad on the bottom.
578
00:21:41,801 --> 00:21:45,102
The next thing I do is
I add my shredded lettuce
in the middle,
579
00:21:45,104 --> 00:21:47,138
'cause I want them
to have that crunch.
580
00:21:47,206 --> 00:21:50,207
Then I add my tomato
and fruit cocktail salsa
581
00:21:50,209 --> 00:21:52,410
and I utilize
that canned fruit
582
00:21:52,412 --> 00:21:53,710
the best way I could.
583
00:21:55,948 --> 00:21:59,116
[Dan] Lobster and crab
are just summer on a plate.
584
00:21:59,118 --> 00:22:02,653
With the sweet and sour,
crunchy cucumber
and papaya salsa.
585
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,022
This is what I do
in the summer.
586
00:22:05,958 --> 00:22:07,224
Go to town on this thing.
587
00:22:07,226 --> 00:22:09,627
Ninety seconds! Ninety to go.
588
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:11,729
[Nina] So, I grab the catfis
589
00:22:11,731 --> 00:22:13,564
It smells great,
it looks great.
590
00:22:13,633 --> 00:22:15,800
So, first thing I do
is put down the pea sauce.
591
00:22:15,802 --> 00:22:17,902
This is a great presentatio
for the beach.
592
00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:20,438
You got a pretty basket,
you got pretty paper,
593
00:22:20,539 --> 00:22:22,540
and got a pretty po'boy
sandwich on there.
594
00:22:23,943 --> 00:22:25,710
[Ronicca] First, I put down
the bao buns,
595
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:28,412
then I start stuffing it
with my halibut
596
00:22:28,414 --> 00:22:30,715
that's tossed in my sauce.
597
00:22:30,717 --> 00:22:34,752
Then I tuck in my slaw
right behind it, and voila.
598
00:22:36,255 --> 00:22:37,455
Thirty seconds, thirty to go.
599
00:22:37,523 --> 00:22:39,457
All right. [mumbling]
600
00:22:39,492 --> 00:22:43,194
I'm gonna lay down my bun,
this perfectly cooked
piece of salmon,
601
00:22:43,196 --> 00:22:45,563
a slice of tomato to bring o
the acid and sweetness,
602
00:22:45,631 --> 00:22:47,565
into my slaw so you have
that nice crunch,
603
00:22:47,633 --> 00:22:48,833
put it right on top.
604
00:22:48,835 --> 00:22:51,102
Some of the aguachile homin
spread on the top bun.
605
00:22:51,104 --> 00:22:52,903
And for fun,
when you're on the beach,
606
00:22:53,606 --> 00:22:54,705
a little cocktail umbrella.
607
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:55,639
Five,
608
00:22:55,741 --> 00:22:56,841
four,
609
00:22:56,942 --> 00:22:58,008
three,
610
00:22:58,010 --> 00:22:59,643
two, one...
611
00:22:59,745 --> 00:23:00,945
That's it.
Stop working, chefs.
612
00:23:01,013 --> 00:23:02,847
[all cheering]
613
00:23:05,618 --> 00:23:06,617
All right, chefs!
614
00:23:06,619 --> 00:23:08,319
Let's see whose
seafood sandwich
615
00:23:08,321 --> 00:23:09,520
earns them a lot of bread.
616
00:23:09,522 --> 00:23:11,956
Let's take it to the judges.
Right this way.
617
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,066
All right, judges,
this is game one
618
00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:23,901
of our Summer Games
Beach Bash.
619
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,936
Our chefs had to make
a seafood sandwich
620
00:23:25,938 --> 00:23:28,472
featuring their canned
ingredients they found
621
00:23:28,474 --> 00:23:30,608
buried in the sand pit.
622
00:23:30,610 --> 00:23:33,010
Up first, Chef Dan
in that hat.
623
00:23:33,012 --> 00:23:35,780
Papaya was your can.
Tell us, what'd you make?
624
00:23:35,782 --> 00:23:39,417
Judges, I made a spicy crab
and lobster roll
625
00:23:39,419 --> 00:23:42,186
and I made a nice papaya
and cucumber salsa
626
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:43,354
to go on top of it.
627
00:23:45,425 --> 00:23:46,690
When you're taking the lid off
628
00:23:46,692 --> 00:23:48,192
-and you're digging into it
with a fork...
-Yeah.
629
00:23:48,194 --> 00:23:50,261
This is either going
really good or we're gonna
have to talk.
630
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:51,462
Why don't you tell us
what you think.
631
00:23:52,231 --> 00:23:53,563
It's going really well.
632
00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,599
-Dan, this is redemption
from last week.
-Thank you.
633
00:23:55,701 --> 00:23:59,303
The canned papaya,
worked in with the cilantro
and the jalapeno,
634
00:23:59,305 --> 00:24:00,438
it is so delicious.
635
00:24:00,506 --> 00:24:03,240
The crab, the lobster,
all of it works so well.
636
00:24:03,309 --> 00:24:04,542
This is one of those things
I could see myself
637
00:24:04,643 --> 00:24:07,011
on a boardwalk, sloppy,
nice summer day...
638
00:24:07,013 --> 00:24:09,413
I think the canned papaya
is so smartly played here,
639
00:24:09,415 --> 00:24:11,182
-I just want more of it.
-Thank you.
640
00:24:11,184 --> 00:24:14,185
Fantastic. Up next,
Chef Nina. Mushy peas.
641
00:24:14,187 --> 00:24:15,453
My seafood sandwich today,
642
00:24:15,554 --> 00:24:20,925
I made Asian fried catfish
po'boy with mushy pea sauce.
643
00:24:20,927 --> 00:24:22,326
I think the seafood's
cooked beautifully.
644
00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:24,695
I'm into the way that you us
the mushy peas
645
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:27,031
'cause it's lending
this creaminess.
646
00:24:27,033 --> 00:24:29,066
-Thank you.
-But it's very one-note.
647
00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:31,435
There's not much freshness
involved in the mushy peas.
648
00:24:31,504 --> 00:24:33,571
I wish there was a little bit
more pickled action.
649
00:24:33,573 --> 00:24:37,675
-This needs high notes,
it needs levity and lightness.
-Thank you.
650
00:24:37,677 --> 00:24:41,111
All right, up next,
Chef Gina and fruit cocktail.
What do you have for us?
651
00:24:41,113 --> 00:24:43,714
I made a fruit cocktail
shrimp salad.
652
00:24:43,783 --> 00:24:45,316
And then I made a salsa reli
653
00:24:45,318 --> 00:24:47,952
I guess with
the fruit cocktail,
cut up with fresh tomato.
654
00:24:49,222 --> 00:24:50,821
The use of the fruit,
655
00:24:50,923 --> 00:24:52,223
I think you did
a really good job
656
00:24:52,225 --> 00:24:54,191
kinda incorporating
the salsa element into it.
657
00:24:54,193 --> 00:24:56,327
-Adding a little bit
of freshness.
-Thank you.
658
00:24:56,329 --> 00:24:58,496
So many different kinds
of flavors and textures,
659
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:01,665
and they actually work
so well with the shrimp.
660
00:25:01,667 --> 00:25:03,701
The romaine lettuce
that you chose is amazing.
661
00:25:03,703 --> 00:25:06,704
That romaine almost makes
like a little boat
for the shrimp.
662
00:25:06,772 --> 00:25:08,539
[laughing]
663
00:25:09,108 --> 00:25:10,774
[Gina laughing]
664
00:25:10,776 --> 00:25:12,510
It was cute. Ooh, shrimp boat.
665
00:25:12,512 --> 00:25:13,878
-I talk with my hands.
-[Guy] Do me a favor.
666
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,246
Put some rap music
to that for me.
667
00:25:15,248 --> 00:25:16,680
[imitating scratching record]
668
00:25:16,682 --> 00:25:18,015
[all laughing]
669
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:20,217
All right,
thank you very much.
Up next, Chef Christian.
670
00:25:20,219 --> 00:25:21,418
Hearts of palm.
671
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:23,454
[Christian] Hearts of palm
have my heart
672
00:25:23,456 --> 00:25:24,588
because I love summer.
673
00:25:24,657 --> 00:25:28,359
So I made a heart of palm
tapenade shrimp roll.
674
00:25:28,460 --> 00:25:32,830
I never say that there's
too much acid in a dish
until today.
675
00:25:32,832 --> 00:25:34,798
There's so much of it
that I'm not getting
to the seafood.
676
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,400
Gotcha.
677
00:25:36,402 --> 00:25:37,902
You probably would have just
done a little bit better
with some editing.
678
00:25:37,904 --> 00:25:39,270
The flavors are there,
679
00:25:39,272 --> 00:25:41,605
but just maybe
one or two things
that you could have taken out.
680
00:25:41,674 --> 00:25:43,974
I'm living on my own planet,
per usual.
681
00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:45,309
-[laughing]
-Um, I love this.
682
00:25:45,311 --> 00:25:47,211
I think it's great,
I don't think
there's too much acid.
683
00:25:47,213 --> 00:25:49,246
I think the tapenade
is so, so smart.
684
00:25:49,315 --> 00:25:51,916
You used the hearts of palm
as like, the flowthrough
from the tapenade.
685
00:25:51,918 --> 00:25:54,685
I really like this. I think
they're both wrong, so...
686
00:25:55,688 --> 00:25:57,955
-As they typically are, Chef.
-[Tiffani laughs]
687
00:25:57,957 --> 00:26:00,090
All right, up next,
Chef Ronicca!
688
00:26:00,092 --> 00:26:01,559
Mango pulp,
what do you have for us?
689
00:26:01,660 --> 00:26:05,095
I made a bao bun stuffed
with fresh fried halibut
690
00:26:05,097 --> 00:26:07,331
tossed in a mango
pequeno chutney
691
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:11,902
topped with a mango
dragon fruit cilantro salad.
692
00:26:12,705 --> 00:26:14,605
You somehow made the halibut
693
00:26:14,674 --> 00:26:17,608
into my favorite Chinese
takeout dish,
694
00:26:17,610 --> 00:26:19,610
which is sweet
and sour chicken.
695
00:26:19,612 --> 00:26:22,112
It turned into this crispy
sweet and sour halibut.
696
00:26:22,214 --> 00:26:23,314
Yeah.
697
00:26:23,316 --> 00:26:24,615
The sweetness
is not overpowering,
698
00:26:24,617 --> 00:26:26,550
That mango and the use
of that canned mango,
699
00:26:26,652 --> 00:26:29,219
you did it twice
with the dressing
on the halibut
700
00:26:29,221 --> 00:26:31,422
and then kind of incorporating
with all the other vegetables,
701
00:26:31,424 --> 00:26:32,522
I thought it was
a really smart play.
702
00:26:32,591 --> 00:26:36,126
But I would have liked
a little bit more heat.
703
00:26:36,228 --> 00:26:37,528
-That's just me.
-Thank you.
704
00:26:37,530 --> 00:26:39,430
[Guy] All right, up next,
Chef Jonathon.
705
00:26:39,432 --> 00:26:41,799
Homona-homona-homona-hominy.
706
00:26:41,801 --> 00:26:43,067
[chuckles]
707
00:26:43,135 --> 00:26:46,604
A year ago, my wife and I
went to Zihuantanejo,
in Mexico,
708
00:26:46,606 --> 00:26:48,672
and I wanted to kind of
recreate what we had there.
709
00:26:48,674 --> 00:26:51,709
We have salmon,
a nice, bright, colorful slaw.
710
00:26:51,711 --> 00:26:53,677
With the hominy
I made an aguachile
711
00:26:53,679 --> 00:26:55,512
and then pureed it
into a spread.
712
00:26:56,816 --> 00:27:00,017
I have never seen hominy
turned into hummus.
713
00:27:00,019 --> 00:27:02,953
And I think that it is
a great condiment
for the sandwich.
714
00:27:02,955 --> 00:27:04,588
I think it works
really, really well
715
00:27:04,590 --> 00:27:07,958
if there were other
textural things happening
in the sandwich.
716
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,629
The cook on the salmon
is spot on, really,
really beautiful.
717
00:27:11,631 --> 00:27:13,130
Hominy is a really
funny ingredient.
718
00:27:13,132 --> 00:27:15,332
I like the textural use of it,
719
00:27:15,401 --> 00:27:16,533
I like the fact
that you fried it,
720
00:27:16,535 --> 00:27:17,868
I like the fact that you
incorporated it
721
00:27:17,870 --> 00:27:19,670
into the base that you
have here from the dish.
722
00:27:19,672 --> 00:27:22,306
My gripe is, man,
it's just under seasoned
all throughout
723
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:24,608
All right, last but not least,
724
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:27,011
Chef Noelle, bamboo shoots.
Tell us about it.
725
00:27:27,013 --> 00:27:29,013
I want you guys to come
to my food truck
726
00:27:29,015 --> 00:27:31,448
on the beach in California.
727
00:27:31,517 --> 00:27:33,117
This is the big sandwich
that you're gonna get.
728
00:27:33,218 --> 00:27:37,187
A fried Cajun
halibut sandwich.
729
00:27:37,189 --> 00:27:40,724
And then I made
a bamboo shoot crab slaw.
730
00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:43,527
This is an unhinge-your-jaw
kinda thing.
731
00:27:44,730 --> 00:27:46,096
[Tiffani]
Oh, this is unhinged.
732
00:27:47,700 --> 00:27:48,766
[Antonia] Wow.
733
00:27:48,768 --> 00:27:51,201
One, visually, just
a beautiful sandwich.
734
00:27:51,203 --> 00:27:54,605
It's intimidating
when you first see it,
let's say that.
735
00:27:54,607 --> 00:27:57,775
Such a crispy batter,
Cajun flavor throughout.
736
00:27:57,777 --> 00:28:00,811
I think the halibut's
beautifully seasoned,
beautifully cooked.
737
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,682
The ratio of the halibut
to the bread actually works
738
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:07,084
I think the bamboo shoots
gets a little bit lost.
739
00:28:07,086 --> 00:28:08,719
Bamboo shoots give you
a little crunch,
740
00:28:08,788 --> 00:28:09,787
but that's all
that they're adding.
741
00:28:10,356 --> 00:28:11,422
Thank you.
742
00:28:11,424 --> 00:28:13,223
[Guy] All right, chefs,
great job.
743
00:28:13,225 --> 00:28:14,391
I don't think
anybody was stumped.
744
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:17,027
The dishes were great,
the judges were impressed.
745
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:19,830
It's gonna be difficult
to discern who's
gonna get the best.
746
00:28:19,932 --> 00:28:21,165
But what's gonna
be more difficult
747
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:22,599
is who's gonna be
in the bottom.
748
00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:24,068
We'll send you back
to the kitchens.
749
00:28:24,070 --> 00:28:25,903
We'll call you back
when we have a decision.
750
00:28:25,905 --> 00:28:27,037
Thank you. Great job.
751
00:28:36,615 --> 00:28:39,416
Chefs, the judges
had to decide which chef
752
00:28:39,418 --> 00:28:44,388
had the sandwich that was,
no question, the best
and deserves the 5,000 bucks
753
00:28:44,390 --> 00:28:48,092
and the guaranteed placement
in next week's competition.
754
00:28:48,094 --> 00:28:50,060
And the best dish
belongs to...
755
00:28:54,233 --> 00:28:56,667
-Congratulations, Chef Dan.
-[all applauding]
756
00:28:56,669 --> 00:28:57,768
Well done.
757
00:28:57,770 --> 00:29:00,337
-In the basement last week...
-Uh-uh...
758
00:29:00,406 --> 00:29:01,872
Listening to what
the judges said,
759
00:29:01,874 --> 00:29:03,907
"Come back,
compete with a vengeance."
760
00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:05,542
Congratulations.
Five thousand bucks.
761
00:29:05,611 --> 00:29:06,877
Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
762
00:29:06,879 --> 00:29:08,345
And we'll see you
next week. Adios.
763
00:29:08,414 --> 00:29:09,346
-Thank you.
-[Tiffani] Yeah, buddy.
764
00:29:09,448 --> 00:29:10,781
-[all cheering]
-[Guy] Good job.
765
00:29:10,783 --> 00:29:12,516
[Tiffani] Nice job.
766
00:29:12,518 --> 00:29:16,286
All right, three other chefs
also served up seafood dishes
767
00:29:16,288 --> 00:29:17,688
that scored them high enough
768
00:29:17,690 --> 00:29:19,323
to move into
next week's competition.
769
00:29:21,494 --> 00:29:22,626
That will be...
770
00:29:25,064 --> 00:29:28,665
Chef Gina, Chef Christian,
Chef Ronicca, you're safe.
771
00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:30,934
-Thank you, thank you.
-[all applauding]
772
00:29:30,936 --> 00:29:32,770
All three of you could
have been in the bottom here.
773
00:29:33,706 --> 00:29:35,405
Last chef that
is safe this week
774
00:29:35,407 --> 00:29:37,040
and moves into next week is...
775
00:29:40,279 --> 00:29:42,179
Chef Noelle.
776
00:29:42,181 --> 00:29:44,047
-[all applauding]
-See you next week.
777
00:29:44,049 --> 00:29:46,216
Nina and Jonathon.
778
00:29:46,218 --> 00:29:50,087
I will tell you this, Nina,
I tried your dish,
I thought it was delicious.
779
00:29:50,089 --> 00:29:52,723
I just think that the rest
of the steps behind it
780
00:29:52,725 --> 00:29:54,925
didn't get as much time
and attention.
781
00:29:54,927 --> 00:29:57,528
Jonathon, when the number one
thing that has taken you
782
00:29:57,530 --> 00:29:59,429
into this situation
is seasoning,
783
00:29:59,431 --> 00:30:00,731
that's all on you, man.
784
00:30:00,733 --> 00:30:01,899
We can't do anything about it.
785
00:30:01,901 --> 00:30:04,201
That puts you two
in the bottom round,
786
00:30:04,203 --> 00:30:05,602
it's winner-take-all,
787
00:30:05,604 --> 00:30:08,172
someone will check out
and someone will move
onto next week.
788
00:30:08,174 --> 00:30:09,540
Chefs, back to your carts.
Good luck.
789
00:30:12,945 --> 00:30:15,712
Chefs, before we go
into another heated battle,
790
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:18,515
I think I wanna give you
something to just kinda...
791
00:30:18,517 --> 00:30:21,018
[whistles] chill out
a little bit, okay?
792
00:30:21,020 --> 00:30:24,688
No better way than with
a nice, cool, tropical drink.
793
00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:26,390
Hunter, you got those drinks?
794
00:30:26,392 --> 00:30:28,125
I do, here you go, yes.
795
00:30:29,428 --> 00:30:31,195
You know
I'm in a hurry, right?
I'm going to school.
796
00:30:31,197 --> 00:30:33,964
I did say, "If you wanna
run Flavortown, you have
to go get your MBA."
797
00:30:33,966 --> 00:30:36,266
Fantastic. What do you
have in there?
798
00:30:36,268 --> 00:30:39,169
Strawberry, pineapple, coconut
799
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:40,771
and, oh, white chocolate,
that's right.
800
00:30:40,773 --> 00:30:42,105
Go ahead and try.
801
00:30:44,109 --> 00:30:46,677
-What do you think?
Good flavors?
-Mmm-hmm.
802
00:30:46,679 --> 00:30:50,547
I want you to use that as
a little bit of an inspiration
in your second dish.
803
00:30:50,649 --> 00:30:53,450
I want you to make
an elevated summer dinner
804
00:30:53,552 --> 00:30:55,051
using those flavors.
805
00:30:56,322 --> 00:30:58,322
[Hunter]
How many flavors are there?
There's four of them in there.
806
00:30:58,324 --> 00:30:59,322
[Guy] You think
four's too many?
807
00:30:59,324 --> 00:31:00,924
-I don't know.
-All right, do me a favor.
808
00:31:00,926 --> 00:31:03,760
Why don't you run
and go get one of your games
and bring it out here
809
00:31:03,762 --> 00:31:05,295
and we'll do something
810
00:31:05,297 --> 00:31:06,997
and we'll let them pick
how many of those
four flavors...
811
00:31:06,999 --> 00:31:08,465
You think I just have
games lying around here?
812
00:31:08,533 --> 00:31:09,533
[laughing] Uh...
813
00:31:09,602 --> 00:31:10,934
I might have
in my backpack, actually.
814
00:31:10,936 --> 00:31:12,102
Let me see if you got
a game in your backpack...
815
00:31:12,171 --> 00:31:13,704
[Hunter] I was going
to school, but...
816
00:31:13,772 --> 00:31:15,105
-[Guy] Oh, Hunter!
-Oh.
817
00:31:15,107 --> 00:31:17,207
[all laughing]
818
00:31:17,309 --> 00:31:19,943
[Guy] Who runs around
with a wheely small game
in his backpack?
819
00:31:19,945 --> 00:31:21,612
-[Hunter] Oh, is that
what's in there?
-That's ridiculous.
820
00:31:21,614 --> 00:31:23,080
We're gonna spin this wheel
821
00:31:23,082 --> 00:31:26,116
to determine how many
of those fantastic
four flavors
822
00:31:26,185 --> 00:31:28,418
you must incorporate
in your dinner tonight.
823
00:31:28,420 --> 00:31:29,419
Ready?
824
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,694
Two. You have to use
two out of the four
825
00:31:37,696 --> 00:31:40,464
of those inspired flavors
in your dish.
826
00:31:40,532 --> 00:31:44,434
Remember, pineapple,
strawberry, coconut,
and white chocolate.
827
00:31:44,536 --> 00:31:45,669
-Bye, guys.
-Thank you. All right.
828
00:31:46,305 --> 00:31:48,038
You have 30 minutes to prepare
829
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,607
an elevated summer dinner
830
00:31:50,709 --> 00:31:54,678
featuring two
of those flavors,
any questions?
831
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,014
-No, Chef.
-Really enjoying
that smoothie, aren't ya?
832
00:31:57,016 --> 00:31:58,415
It's nice, yeah, it's...
833
00:31:58,417 --> 00:31:59,316
-You're good?
-I'm good.
834
00:31:59,318 --> 00:32:01,184
On the count of three,
835
00:32:01,186 --> 00:32:04,888
the two of you can each put
one of those drinks in my hand
836
00:32:04,890 --> 00:32:06,523
before you go shopping, okay?
837
00:32:06,525 --> 00:32:09,493
Then you won't spill those
as you're running around.
838
00:32:09,495 --> 00:32:10,894
-You got that?
-Yep.
839
00:32:10,896 --> 00:32:12,062
[Guy] Okay.
840
00:32:13,766 --> 00:32:16,199
[Tiffani] They're intently
looking at him, like...
841
00:32:16,201 --> 00:32:18,402
-[Eric] Yep. Waiting.
-Waiting for three,
two, one, go.
842
00:32:26,612 --> 00:32:27,911
Oh, there we go.
843
00:32:27,913 --> 00:32:29,278
What?
844
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,348
-No, did we miss it?
-I missed it.
But how did I miss it?
845
00:32:31,417 --> 00:32:32,816
What'd they think
I was doing over here,
846
00:32:32,818 --> 00:32:36,119
being like Antonia,
with my hands in the air,
talking randomly?
847
00:32:36,221 --> 00:32:37,821
[Nina] So here I am,
showdown with Jonathon.
848
00:32:37,823 --> 00:32:39,323
It's gonna be tough.
849
00:32:39,325 --> 00:32:41,358
Everybody wants to win,
850
00:32:41,426 --> 00:32:42,993
but one has to go home.
851
00:32:42,995 --> 00:32:44,928
[Jonathon]
There's the pressure
of going home
852
00:32:44,930 --> 00:32:46,396
and Nina is a force
to be reckoned with.
853
00:32:46,398 --> 00:32:47,898
She's not to be taken lightly.
854
00:32:47,900 --> 00:32:50,100
I've gotta use
two flavors from
Hunter's smoothie
855
00:32:50,202 --> 00:32:51,435
to really elevate this dish
856
00:32:51,536 --> 00:32:53,603
I wanna work
with strawberry
and white chocolate.
857
00:32:53,605 --> 00:32:57,274
They go together really well
and there's a host of ways
you can take them.
858
00:32:57,276 --> 00:32:59,109
So for my elevated dinner,
I'm gonna make
859
00:32:59,178 --> 00:33:01,445
a pan roasted corvina bass
860
00:33:01,546 --> 00:33:03,947
with a white chocolate truff
beurre blanc,
861
00:33:03,949 --> 00:33:05,816
balsamic marinated
strawberries.
862
00:33:05,818 --> 00:33:07,483
This dish has to be elevated
863
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,987
That's kind of
in my wheel house,
so that's what I'm going for
864
00:33:09,989 --> 00:33:12,723
To me, that means
refinement, luxury.
865
00:33:12,725 --> 00:33:14,691
You know, it's something
that you would get
at a fine dining restaurant
866
00:33:14,693 --> 00:33:16,093
during the summer.
867
00:33:16,095 --> 00:33:18,128
-Got a good game plan?
-[Jonathon] Yes, Chef.
868
00:33:18,196 --> 00:33:20,063
Always have great
mushrooms here.
869
00:33:20,065 --> 00:33:23,600
Interesting thing
about this right now
is these chefs are winners.
870
00:33:23,702 --> 00:33:25,869
They've only won
in Flavortown Market.
871
00:33:25,871 --> 00:33:28,271
This is definitely
the first time they've been
on the chopping block
872
00:33:28,273 --> 00:33:29,406
with the potential
of going home.
873
00:33:30,009 --> 00:33:31,274
Oh.
874
00:33:31,276 --> 00:33:33,610
An elevated summer dish
to me is something nice,
875
00:33:33,712 --> 00:33:35,379
something fancy,
something fun.
876
00:33:35,381 --> 00:33:37,280
Make sure
I don't miss anything.
877
00:33:37,282 --> 00:33:40,717
But now I have to incorporat
strawberry, coconut
878
00:33:40,719 --> 00:33:42,719
and white chocolate
or pineapple.
879
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:45,122
Thai food is kind of
like summer food year round.
880
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:46,423
We use
these three ingredients.
881
00:33:46,425 --> 00:33:47,724
I need coconut flakes.
882
00:33:47,726 --> 00:33:50,694
My elevated summer dish
is fried coconut rice
883
00:33:50,696 --> 00:33:52,329
with sweet and sour shrimp.
884
00:33:52,331 --> 00:33:55,432
I want to use the coconuts
to cook in the rice.
885
00:33:55,501 --> 00:33:57,167
The pineapple I'm gonna
use two ways.
886
00:33:57,169 --> 00:34:00,037
I'm gonna use it
in my rice and I'm gonna
use it for plating.
887
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:01,938
This is elevated,
this is summer.
888
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:03,673
It's gonna come out
beautifully done.
889
00:34:03,675 --> 00:34:04,541
Got pineapple.
890
00:34:06,011 --> 00:34:07,577
[Guy] So we have 25 to go.
891
00:34:07,579 --> 00:34:10,714
-Okay, what do you got?
-Um, I'm doing a black
trumpet puree.
892
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:13,817
White chocolate truffle sauce,
corvina and then balsamic
strawberries.
893
00:34:13,819 --> 00:34:15,619
-They kind of pop
everything off.
-[Guy] Got it, got it.
894
00:34:15,687 --> 00:34:17,120
[Jonathon]
This is Sudden Death.
895
00:34:17,122 --> 00:34:20,824
I gotta pull out all the stops
and nail this elevated
summer dish.
896
00:34:20,826 --> 00:34:22,426
The first thing I need
to get going is the fennel.
897
00:34:22,428 --> 00:34:25,429
It's a hard, dense vegetable
so I slice it thin,
898
00:34:25,431 --> 00:34:28,098
season it up with olive oil
salt and get it in the oven
899
00:34:28,100 --> 00:34:30,500
I'm gonna start working
on this white chocolate
beurre blanc.
900
00:34:30,502 --> 00:34:32,335
Get the garlic in,
add my white wine,
901
00:34:32,437 --> 00:34:35,105
add the white chocolate chip
902
00:34:35,107 --> 00:34:39,810
And one of the most elevate
ingredients you can use,
in my opinion, is truffles.
903
00:34:39,878 --> 00:34:41,611
With the white chocolate
beurre blanc,
904
00:34:41,613 --> 00:34:44,414
I wanna bring out
the sweetness of the corvin
with the rest of the dish.
905
00:34:46,985 --> 00:34:49,085
I think it's really good.
906
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,621
I decided to choose strawber
because I love how it's gonn
play with the white chocolat
907
00:34:51,623 --> 00:34:53,890
and I also love going out
in the garden with my kids
908
00:34:53,892 --> 00:34:55,292
and picking
fresh strawberries.
909
00:34:55,294 --> 00:34:57,360
I wanna get more
flavor into it.
910
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,729
So I add sugar, salt
and balsamic vinegar
911
00:34:59,731 --> 00:35:00,931
to get 'em macerated.
912
00:35:00,933 --> 00:35:03,500
Strawberry and balsamic,
friends.
913
00:35:06,405 --> 00:35:11,208
[Nina] So for my elevated
dish, I wanted to make coconut
pineapple shrimp fried rice
914
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:14,544
It's very elevated 'cause
it's something you can eat
on date night.
915
00:35:14,646 --> 00:35:17,314
So I'm gonna start cooking
this instant rice
916
00:35:17,316 --> 00:35:19,516
with coconut cream
and coconut water.
917
00:35:19,518 --> 00:35:21,384
While my rice is cooking,
918
00:35:21,386 --> 00:35:24,888
I'm gonna make
a pineapple boat
and use it for plating.
919
00:35:24,890 --> 00:35:28,024
[Eric] Do you feel
that the pineapple boat
is an elevated dish?
920
00:35:28,026 --> 00:35:29,526
[Antonia] 100%.
921
00:35:29,528 --> 00:35:32,896
It's about the vessel
is what's gonna elevate
this dish for Nina.
922
00:35:32,898 --> 00:35:34,764
-Chef, how you feeling?
-I'm feeling really good.
923
00:35:34,766 --> 00:35:38,401
-What's this dish?
-So I'm gonna make
a shrimp pineapple fried rice.
924
00:35:38,403 --> 00:35:40,670
That doesn't look
like fried rice at all.
925
00:35:40,672 --> 00:35:42,072
That looks like
a coconut rice.
926
00:35:42,074 --> 00:35:43,807
-Don't misbrand it, okay?
-Okay.
927
00:35:43,809 --> 00:35:46,910
In order to make fried rice,
you first need dried rice.
928
00:35:46,912 --> 00:35:48,211
You need dried rice. [laughs]
929
00:35:48,213 --> 00:35:49,613
[Nina] So I'm changing
the gameplan a little bit.
930
00:35:49,714 --> 00:35:52,449
So I turned this
into just a sweet
coconut rice.
931
00:35:52,551 --> 00:35:55,185
Chefs, we've got 15 minutes,
15 to go.
932
00:35:55,187 --> 00:35:57,454
Nothing better than being
at station one
933
00:35:57,523 --> 00:36:00,123
-and have three judges
sitting there staring at ya.
-Good times.
934
00:36:00,192 --> 00:36:01,825
-What kind of fish
is that, sir?
-Corvina.
935
00:36:01,827 --> 00:36:03,627
-Good for him.
-Oh, corvina.
936
00:36:03,629 --> 00:36:06,963
So it's a white fish,
but it's also a very rich,
steaky white fish.
937
00:36:06,965 --> 00:36:09,299
-Strong.
-Strong. Strong fish.
938
00:36:09,301 --> 00:36:11,401
[Jonathon] You wanna get
a really nice sear to it.
939
00:36:11,403 --> 00:36:14,604
So I add mounts of butter
into it and just start
basting away.
940
00:36:14,606 --> 00:36:16,773
I just wanna let it
sit in that melted butter
941
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:19,209
and warm through in the oven
942
00:36:19,278 --> 00:36:21,711
So I'm letting
my white chocolate
beurre blanc slowly reduce.
943
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,813
So I need to start
on my black trumpet puree.
944
00:36:23,815 --> 00:36:25,115
I get my garlic in the pan.
945
00:36:25,217 --> 00:36:26,716
That's what I need.
946
00:36:26,785 --> 00:36:28,384
Then I'm gonna add
a little white wine
947
00:36:28,386 --> 00:36:31,688
and a heaping mound
of black trumpet mushroom
and season 'em up.
948
00:36:33,425 --> 00:36:36,126
[Nina] So now I'm chopping
up my onions and pineapple.
949
00:36:36,128 --> 00:36:38,461
Throw it all on the pan
with the shrimp.
950
00:36:38,563 --> 00:36:39,996
I'm adding oyster sauce to i
951
00:36:39,998 --> 00:36:42,499
And I'm just gonna let it
all cook down together.
952
00:36:42,501 --> 00:36:44,301
So the shrimp is cooking
pretty well
953
00:36:44,303 --> 00:36:45,869
and I'm gonna add that
to the coconut rice.
954
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:47,904
More like a Caribbean style.
955
00:36:47,906 --> 00:36:49,973
I'm sneaking up
on Jonathon here.
956
00:36:49,975 --> 00:36:52,509
It smells great,
it looks great,
it's very summery.
957
00:36:55,681 --> 00:36:57,514
Mmm, it's good.
958
00:36:57,516 --> 00:36:59,683
Chefs, four minutes
to be plated.
959
00:36:59,685 --> 00:37:02,519
[Jonathon] I've got this
beautiful corvina.
960
00:37:02,521 --> 00:37:06,223
So I lay the black trumpet
and black truffle puree
down first.
961
00:37:06,225 --> 00:37:08,458
Then I wanna hit fennel,
bulb at the bottom.
962
00:37:08,527 --> 00:37:11,228
Lay the fish and then
for the strawberries,
963
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:14,464
I really like how they are,
so I just lay them there
to show them off.
964
00:37:14,499 --> 00:37:16,365
And then to bring it
altogether,
965
00:37:16,367 --> 00:37:18,501
the white chocolate
beurre blanc is kind of
sprayed all around the plate
966
00:37:19,504 --> 00:37:21,605
Ninety seconds, ninety to go.
967
00:37:21,706 --> 00:37:24,207
[Nina] My elevated summer
pineapple boat coconut rice
968
00:37:24,209 --> 00:37:27,310
I feel like it's elevated
because it's beautiful
plated.
969
00:37:27,312 --> 00:37:32,515
Five, four, three, two, one.
970
00:37:32,517 --> 00:37:34,718
-That's it, chefs.
Stop working.
-[Antonia] Nice job.
971
00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:35,685
[Eric] Nice jobs, guys.
972
00:37:36,788 --> 00:37:37,854
All right, chefs.
973
00:37:37,856 --> 00:37:40,423
Let's see whose summer
dinner makes some waves.
974
00:37:40,425 --> 00:37:42,425
Let's take it to the judges.
Right this way.
975
00:37:51,803 --> 00:37:52,869
All right, judges.
Here we are.
976
00:37:52,937 --> 00:37:55,672
The chefs had to make
an elevated summer dinner
977
00:37:55,674 --> 00:37:58,975
using two of the four
flavors that inspired
978
00:37:58,977 --> 00:38:00,410
the smoothie
they tasted earlier.
979
00:38:00,412 --> 00:38:04,414
Now that was pineapples,
strawberry, white chocolate
and coconut.
980
00:38:04,416 --> 00:38:06,616
Up first, Chef Nina.
981
00:38:06,685 --> 00:38:08,818
You chose pineapple
and coconut.
What'd you make?
982
00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:14,424
My elevated summer dinner
is pineapple coconut rice
983
00:38:14,426 --> 00:38:17,727
sauteed in fresh pineapple,
shrimp and onions.
984
00:38:18,930 --> 00:38:20,397
The presentation,
out of this world.
985
00:38:20,399 --> 00:38:24,200
-I love the pineapple
as a display.
-Thank you.
986
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:27,771
You have pineapple, ding.
You have coconut,
no problem. Both in here.
987
00:38:27,773 --> 00:38:31,107
I'm actually loving
the creamy texture
988
00:38:31,209 --> 00:38:35,078
that the coconut milk
and that coconut water
created here.
989
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,781
Your shrimp is cooked,
I think, beautifully.
990
00:38:37,783 --> 00:38:41,217
But I think this suffers
from a little bit
of everything in one pan.
991
00:38:41,219 --> 00:38:44,721
I think the rice is gummy.
992
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:45,822
It's still really yummy.
993
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:46,723
Thank you.
994
00:38:46,825 --> 00:38:48,458
All right, up next,
Chef Jonathon.
995
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,560
Strawberries and white
chocolate. What do you have
for us, Chef?
996
00:38:50,629 --> 00:38:55,699
So we have a wild trumpet
puree with a little bit
of black truffle cream in it.
997
00:38:55,701 --> 00:39:00,003
You have a corvina bass,
the strawberries just
marinated in balsamic.
998
00:39:00,005 --> 00:39:03,073
Basically made a beurre
blanc using white chocolate
as opposed to butter.
999
00:39:05,210 --> 00:39:07,610
Jonathon, Jonathon, Jonathon.
1000
00:39:08,914 --> 00:39:12,916
This fish should not work
and it does.
1001
00:39:12,918 --> 00:39:15,518
-Thank you.
-It is so good.
1002
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:20,023
The white chocolate sauce
on this is bananas good.
1003
00:39:20,025 --> 00:39:22,459
[Eric] I think the anise
with the fennel
is just a beautiful play.
1004
00:39:22,527 --> 00:39:25,428
I wish there was more done
with the strawberry, though.
1005
00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:27,430
That's the sad part for me.
1006
00:39:27,432 --> 00:39:30,700
Um, Chef Jonathon,
I'm actually not as in love
with the dish
1007
00:39:30,702 --> 00:39:32,569
as the other two judges.
1008
00:39:32,571 --> 00:39:35,772
I loved the flavor
of the truffle, but I don't
like the mushroom.
1009
00:39:35,774 --> 00:39:37,607
The mushroom,
it just tastes bitter.
1010
00:39:37,609 --> 00:39:38,942
And there's just a lot of it
1011
00:39:38,944 --> 00:39:40,944
Where I want a lot more
of that chocolate sauce
1012
00:39:40,946 --> 00:39:43,046
-and not a lot
of that mushroom.
-Okay.
1013
00:39:43,048 --> 00:39:44,614
Judges, thank you.
1014
00:39:44,683 --> 00:39:46,983
Chefs, I think you both
delivered really beautiful
dishes.
1015
00:39:46,985 --> 00:39:48,051
It's anybody's game.
1016
00:39:48,053 --> 00:39:49,819
I'm gonna ask you
to return to the kitchen.
1017
00:39:49,821 --> 00:39:51,121
Call you back
when we have a decision.
1018
00:39:51,123 --> 00:39:52,455
-Thank you.
-Appreciate it.
1019
00:39:52,524 --> 00:39:54,924
Judges, which of these chefs
gave you a taste of summer?
1020
00:39:54,926 --> 00:39:59,429
I love the way Chef Nina
transported the coconut
and the pineapple
1021
00:39:59,431 --> 00:40:01,097
into an elevated summer dish
1022
00:40:01,099 --> 00:40:02,766
I thought it was really smart.
1023
00:40:02,768 --> 00:40:05,301
I agree and the presentation
was out of this world.
1024
00:40:06,104 --> 00:40:08,037
The rice was gummy.
1025
00:40:08,039 --> 00:40:10,106
It was not coconut
sticky rice,
it was gummy rice.
1026
00:40:10,142 --> 00:40:13,209
-Yeah.
-All right and, uh, Jonathon.
1027
00:40:13,311 --> 00:40:15,512
There was two elements
on that plate
that blew me away.
1028
00:40:15,514 --> 00:40:16,880
The fish was cooked perfectl
1029
00:40:16,882 --> 00:40:19,416
The white chocolate
truffle sauce on top
was brilliant.
1030
00:40:19,418 --> 00:40:21,217
I wanted to like
the dish so much.
1031
00:40:21,319 --> 00:40:23,420
Mushrooms, I don't think of
when I think summer.
1032
00:40:23,422 --> 00:40:25,955
The strawberry which was
one of the key components,
1033
00:40:25,957 --> 00:40:29,092
they needed to be sliced
thinner, sauteed, grilled,
1034
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:32,429
that changed it
to a little bit more savory,
sugar and flavor.
1035
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:33,530
Who's it gonna be?
1036
00:40:34,166 --> 00:40:35,698
Who's going home?
1037
00:40:40,172 --> 00:40:42,372
Thank you very much, judges.
Let's bring our chefs
back in, please.
1038
00:40:45,377 --> 00:40:48,111
Ah, chefs, unfortunately,
one of you will be
checking out
1039
00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:50,980
and the other will move on
to next week's competition.
1040
00:40:50,982 --> 00:40:53,183
The chef who will be
checking out tonight is...
1041
00:40:56,021 --> 00:40:56,920
Chef Jonathon.
1042
00:40:57,823 --> 00:41:00,623
Chef, you took it
to the next level.
1043
00:41:00,725 --> 00:41:05,195
Unfortunately, when we say
things like summer
and mushrooms
1044
00:41:05,197 --> 00:41:08,965
and they don't meet,
things like that can
unhinge it
1045
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:10,266
and send it the wrong way.
1046
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:11,267
But thank you for coming back.
1047
00:41:11,269 --> 00:41:12,669
Thanks, Chef.
Thank you, judges.
1048
00:41:12,671 --> 00:41:16,039
I'm going home this week,
but my kids are on
summer vacation,
1049
00:41:16,041 --> 00:41:17,407
so is my beautiful wife.
1050
00:41:17,409 --> 00:41:21,110
I get to go home,
play in the pool,
it is relax time.
1051
00:41:21,112 --> 00:41:23,379
[Guy] Chef Nina, you prevailed
through this situation,
1052
00:41:23,381 --> 00:41:25,215
you'll move onto next week.
1053
00:41:25,217 --> 00:41:28,318
We will see you back here
with the other Super Six,
okay?
1054
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,053
-All right. Thank you.
-[Guy] All right, chef.
Thank you very much.
1055
00:41:30,055 --> 00:41:31,120
-[Nina] Thank you.
-[Guy] Congratulations.
1056
00:41:31,156 --> 00:41:32,221
[Nina] Thank you. [laughs]
1057
00:41:32,290 --> 00:41:35,024
That's it. Two chefs down,
six chefs remaining
1058
00:41:35,026 --> 00:41:37,527
until we crown
our Summer Games champ.
1059
00:41:37,529 --> 00:41:39,329
And if you thought
the beach was hard,
1060
00:41:39,397 --> 00:41:42,732
[scoffs] well, that'll be
a picnic compared to what's
gonna happen next week.
1061
00:41:42,767 --> 00:41:45,401
The six of you have made it
to the mid-summer point.
1062
00:41:45,403 --> 00:41:48,338
You'll be competing as teams.
1063
00:41:48,340 --> 00:41:49,372
-Ooh.
-Okay.
1064
00:41:49,374 --> 00:41:51,107
Beep, beep. Coming through.
1065
00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:53,209
-[laughs]
-Who got the keys
to the Flavor jeep?
1066
00:41:53,211 --> 00:41:55,211
-Do you got it, girl?
-I got it, girl.
1067
00:41:55,313 --> 00:41:58,381
I feel like the team situation
wasn't necessarily happening.
1068
00:41:58,383 --> 00:41:59,816
I'll see you then. Adios.
