1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:02,467
Tonight in Flavortown Mark--
2
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:06,700
Hunter, Damaris,
what are you doing?
3
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:08,467
[Hunter speaks in hushed tone]
4
00:00:08,467 --> 00:00:09,500
Shh!
5
00:00:10,467 --> 00:00:11,767
"Desert games"?
6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,467
Shh!
7
00:00:14,467 --> 00:00:17,300
It's a game
where we search the store
for food found in the desert.
8
00:00:17,367 --> 00:00:21,000
It's "Dessert Games,"
two S's. Dessert!
9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,367
Well, now I'm very excited.
10
00:00:24,367 --> 00:00:26,266
Oh... Damaris,
please go get changed.
11
00:00:26,266 --> 00:00:29,867
That was a close one.
Tonight, four dessert chefs
are creating delicious treats
12
00:00:29,867 --> 00:00:32,200
while playing
my devious games.
13
00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:33,467
Clean up on aisle one!
14
00:00:33,467 --> 00:00:35,066
[Guy] It's gonna be fun,
it's gonna be sweet,
15
00:00:35,066 --> 00:00:36,700
and I might even
learn something along the way.
16
00:00:36,767 --> 00:00:38,667
I know three-star chefs
who can't do that.
17
00:00:38,667 --> 00:00:42,166
[Guy] It's Dessert Games
right now on Guy's
Grocery Games.
18
00:00:42,166 --> 00:00:43,767
Dessert, not "desert"!
19
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,166
So let's meet
our dessert chefs.
20
00:00:49,166 --> 00:00:50,867
Now, first up,
we have Sarah Wallace,
21
00:00:50,867 --> 00:00:54,266
head of culinary production
at a donut shop in Somerville,
Massachusetts,
22
00:00:54,266 --> 00:00:57,200
where she gets to invent
new donuts every day.
23
00:00:57,266 --> 00:00:58,700
What a cool job.
24
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:02,000
Hold the phone,
Guy's Grocery Games,
we're turning it dessert.
25
00:01:02,066 --> 00:01:05,667
I always say
that cooking is to
sustain yourself
26
00:01:05,667 --> 00:01:08,066
but baking
is to indulge yourself.
27
00:01:08,066 --> 00:01:10,767
Union Square Donuts
is just fantastic.
28
00:01:10,767 --> 00:01:13,567
We do brioche-based donuts
with all of these
different glazes.
29
00:01:13,567 --> 00:01:15,367
We make the best donuts
in Boston.
30
00:01:15,367 --> 00:01:17,367
-Good luck, Chef.
Go get 'em.
-Thank you.
31
00:01:17,367 --> 00:01:19,000
Next, we have Jamal Lake,
32
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,166
baker, owner of
a West Palm Beach bakery,
33
00:01:22,166 --> 00:01:25,000
who spends his days
making custard cakes,
cupcakes and ganache.
34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,600
[Jamal] Growing up
in the Virgin Islands,
35
00:01:26,667 --> 00:01:29,166
I was that skinny kid
that just loved too much cake.
36
00:01:29,166 --> 00:01:30,600
Being from
the Virgin Islands,
37
00:01:30,667 --> 00:01:33,100
I like to infuse
the tropical flavors
in my desserts,
38
00:01:33,166 --> 00:01:36,867
like guava and key lime
and definitely the rum.
39
00:01:36,867 --> 00:01:38,700
St. Croix do really makes
good rum.
40
00:01:38,767 --> 00:01:40,767
[Guy] And then there's
Caleb Fischer,
41
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:43,667
owner of a family farmstead
in Auburn, Alabama,
42
00:01:43,667 --> 00:01:47,467
that delivers breads, pastries
and specialty desserts.
43
00:01:47,467 --> 00:01:49,000
[Caleb] Everyone always says
that baking's a science
44
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,867
and you have to be
really strict about it,
45
00:01:50,867 --> 00:01:52,066
but I completely disagree
with that.
46
00:01:52,066 --> 00:01:53,500
There's no problem
breaking the rules.
47
00:01:53,567 --> 00:01:55,700
My wife and I just started
Fischer Family Farmstead
48
00:01:55,767 --> 00:01:59,867
and what we hope to do
is raise money
for a non-profit
49
00:01:59,867 --> 00:02:02,967
by selling cakes, breads,
pastries, specialty items.
50
00:02:02,967 --> 00:02:06,100
What, do you
carry them in arms?
You don't even have a truck.
51
00:02:06,100 --> 00:02:07,800
Does he pull the wagon?
52
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,367
And finally, Lasheeda Perry,
the Los Angeles pastry chef
who runs her own company
53
00:02:11,367 --> 00:02:16,467
where she does everything
from virtual baking classes,
to pastry pop-ups.
54
00:02:16,467 --> 00:02:19,567
The Queen is here! [chuckling]
55
00:02:19,567 --> 00:02:21,900
The Queen of Flavor
is in Flavortown!
56
00:02:21,967 --> 00:02:25,867
I like to use
unique ingredients
on my desserts
57
00:02:25,867 --> 00:02:29,767
such as matcha, ube, saffron.
58
00:02:29,767 --> 00:02:32,767
I'm not afraid to take risks
in the kitchen.
59
00:02:32,767 --> 00:02:36,900
Tonight, the rich dessert
could earn you riches.
60
00:02:36,967 --> 00:02:41,100
However, for some of you,
your dreams could deflate
faster than a failed souffle.
61
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:43,967
The chef with the lowest score
at the end of round one
will check out early.
62
00:02:43,967 --> 00:02:47,700
But if you have
highest combined score
at the end of both rounds
63
00:02:47,767 --> 00:02:50,667
you'll get to shop
Flavortown Market
for up to of 20,000 bucks.
64
00:02:50,667 --> 00:02:53,266
And, ladies and gentlemen,
it doesn't get much sweeter
than that.
65
00:02:53,266 --> 00:02:55,900
So, to kick off
the Dessert Games
66
00:02:55,967 --> 00:03:01,166
I want you to make the judges
a handheld, fried dessert.
67
00:03:01,166 --> 00:03:06,767
That perfect, sweet,
fried bite that will transport
the judges to dessert heaven.
68
00:03:06,767 --> 00:03:08,300
-You know what
I'm talking about?
-Yeah.
69
00:03:08,367 --> 00:03:11,367
[Guy] Now, as we know
on dessert shows,
70
00:03:11,367 --> 00:03:14,667
you normally get much longer
than 30 minutes to cook,
correct?
71
00:03:14,667 --> 00:03:18,767
But here at GGG,
when they zig, we zag
72
00:03:18,767 --> 00:03:20,100
so I'm only giving you
20 minutes.
73
00:03:20,100 --> 00:03:22,000
-Wow.
-That's not right!
74
00:03:22,066 --> 00:03:25,100
[Guy] That is right.
I'm call this "Sugar Rush"
75
00:03:25,166 --> 00:03:28,567
because for this,
you're gonna need to
speed around with those carts
76
00:03:28,567 --> 00:03:31,467
in a way that, well,
I'll tell you what,
hang on one second.
77
00:03:31,467 --> 00:03:33,500
My son, Hunter,
hang on a second.
What do you need?
78
00:03:33,567 --> 00:03:34,900
Sorry, guys. Sorry.
79
00:03:34,967 --> 00:03:36,467
There's a problem
The cart tech guy...
80
00:03:36,467 --> 00:03:38,000
-What about the cart tech guy?
-Well, I think...
81
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,667
See, I know that one
and I believe that one...
82
00:03:41,667 --> 00:03:44,467
Honestly, they might all be
screwed up on the wheels,
right now. I don't know.
83
00:03:44,467 --> 00:03:47,166
Listen, so what
we have is the wheels
lock up sometimes,
84
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:48,767
people go over the carts,
groceries everywhere...
85
00:03:48,767 --> 00:03:50,367
[Hunter] We've just
ordered new wheels.
Just ordered new ones.
86
00:03:50,367 --> 00:03:51,600
All right, well,
do me a favor,
87
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,867
just get the carts
out of the way.
This is ridiculous.
88
00:03:52,867 --> 00:03:54,166
-Hurry up. Let's go.
-[Hunter] All right.
89
00:03:54,166 --> 00:03:55,900
-Sorry, guys.
-I'm sorry about this, folks.
90
00:03:55,967 --> 00:03:56,967
[Hunter] Sorry
about that, folks.
91
00:03:56,967 --> 00:03:58,600
Whoa, we'll get these
fixed right away.
92
00:03:58,667 --> 00:04:01,800
All right, here's the deal,
we pivot, right?
93
00:04:01,867 --> 00:04:03,266
We zig, they zag.
94
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:06,367
So, not only is this
going to be a handheld,
fried dessert,
95
00:04:06,367 --> 00:04:09,066
this is going to be
a handheld shopping
96
00:04:09,066 --> 00:04:11,700
because we're also playing
No Carts Allowed. Okay?
97
00:04:11,767 --> 00:04:16,667
20 minutes to shop,
prepare and plate
your handheld fried dessert.
98
00:04:16,667 --> 00:04:19,567
When you start,
you start down aisle eight.
99
00:04:19,567 --> 00:04:23,200
Do not start... 'Cause I can't
have you go down aisle four.
100
00:04:23,266 --> 00:04:25,700
Sometimes people go four,
and then they'll
hit the three,
101
00:04:25,767 --> 00:04:27,266
they'll circle around the two,
and they'll go to one.
102
00:04:27,266 --> 00:04:30,500
You can't go there.
You have to go to
eight first, okay?
103
00:04:30,567 --> 00:04:34,100
Just want to make sure
we're good with that.
All right.
104
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:36,266
-You excited?
-[all] Yes.
105
00:04:36,266 --> 00:04:38,000
And you guys know
where the clock is, right?
106
00:04:38,066 --> 00:04:39,500
[Sarah] Right.
107
00:04:39,567 --> 00:04:40,567
Oh! Oh!
108
00:04:40,567 --> 00:04:42,166
-[contestants muttering]
-[Guy laughing]
109
00:04:43,767 --> 00:04:45,233
[Guy] That was perfect.
110
00:04:45,233 --> 00:04:47,467
[Jamal] So, Guy wants us
to make a handheld
fried dessert,
111
00:04:47,467 --> 00:04:48,967
but I don't have
a shopping cart
112
00:04:48,967 --> 00:04:53,300
and I only have
20 minutes to shop
and complete this dessert.
113
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:55,100
So I've got to think
really smart.
114
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:56,900
So, when I think of
handheld dessert,
115
00:04:56,967 --> 00:04:59,867
I automatically think
of a dessert that we have
in the Virgin Islands
116
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:01,634
called guava empanada.
117
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:05,400
I cannot make this dough
from scratch, so I got
frozen empanada dough.
118
00:05:05,467 --> 00:05:08,166
For the filling of my empanada
I'm gonna need guava,
119
00:05:08,166 --> 00:05:11,166
white chocolate
and cream cheese.
120
00:05:11,166 --> 00:05:15,800
This is Sugar Rush,
and I'm definitely going to
give the judges a sugar rush.
121
00:05:15,867 --> 00:05:17,266
Get ready, judges.
122
00:05:17,266 --> 00:05:19,266
Twenty minutes
is really tough.
123
00:05:19,266 --> 00:05:23,000
I'm from the south.
we eat hand pies all the time.
It's a Southern staple.
124
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,600
So, I'm making
a cherry, apricot hand pie.
125
00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:27,100
[laughing] Why is this
so difficult?
126
00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:28,400
Without having a cart,
I've really got to be
127
00:05:28,467 --> 00:05:30,867
really selectful
with the products I choose.
128
00:05:30,867 --> 00:05:32,667
And I don't have time
to make my own dough,
129
00:05:32,667 --> 00:05:34,166
so I'm gonna grab
these empanada shells.
130
00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:36,066
-[Jamal] Oh, you've copied me!
-[Caleb laughs]
131
00:05:36,066 --> 00:05:39,100
I see empanada dough, I see...
132
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,667
more empanada dough.
133
00:05:41,667 --> 00:05:42,900
[Guy] They know it.
134
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:44,300
[Sarah] Rice pudding...
135
00:05:44,367 --> 00:05:47,066
20 minutes, it's a very,
very short amount of time
136
00:05:47,066 --> 00:05:50,066
so I'm thinking rice pudding
because I love rice pudding.
137
00:05:50,066 --> 00:05:54,100
So I'm gonna get
some minute rice,
but it's gotta be fried.
138
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:57,266
I'm gonna do
a rice pudding arancini.
139
00:05:57,266 --> 00:05:59,767
Ooh, breadcrumbs.
140
00:05:59,767 --> 00:06:01,367
I'm grabbing
the breadcrumbs.
141
00:06:01,367 --> 00:06:03,000
Because this is
a fried challenge,
142
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,200
I want that nice,
golden brown, crispy,
fried outside.
143
00:06:08,467 --> 00:06:11,166
I want something kind of light
to freshen it up,
144
00:06:11,166 --> 00:06:14,767
so I'm gonna get some berries
and then I'm gonna get
a little baby food
145
00:06:14,767 --> 00:06:16,967
because they're all
just pureed fruits
146
00:06:16,967 --> 00:06:18,367
with no added sugars
or anything.
147
00:06:18,367 --> 00:06:19,400
It's just fruit.
148
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,166
[breathlessly] Anything else?
I think I'm good.
149
00:06:22,166 --> 00:06:23,367
[Lasheeda] Tortillas.
Tortillas. Tortillas.
150
00:06:23,367 --> 00:06:24,700
-[Guy] What are you
looking for?
-Tortillas.
151
00:06:24,767 --> 00:06:26,500
-[Guy] Over on nine.
-You're the best!
152
00:06:26,567 --> 00:06:30,367
For my handheld fried dessert,
I thought of donuts
153
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:33,767
and then, I'm, like, "I don't
have time to make a donut",
not in 20 minutes.
154
00:06:33,767 --> 00:06:37,266
So my mind automatically went,
"A sweet taco!"
155
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:38,300
Oh!
156
00:06:38,367 --> 00:06:41,200
I love corn tortillas,
I grab them
157
00:06:41,266 --> 00:06:42,533
Okay.
158
00:06:42,533 --> 00:06:45,367
and then I grab matcha,
which is a green tea powder,
159
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:48,166
to make a matcha whip
with strawberry sugar
160
00:06:48,166 --> 00:06:50,300
because strawberry
and matcha,
161
00:06:50,367 --> 00:06:51,867
they go perfectly together.
162
00:06:51,867 --> 00:06:54,667
I don't have a lot of time.
Get some fruit.
163
00:06:54,667 --> 00:06:58,700
I want a bitter note to it.
Kumquats come to mind.
164
00:06:58,767 --> 00:07:01,667
They're small, I can
candy them really quickly.
165
00:07:01,667 --> 00:07:03,700
Oh, I've got to
get some alcohol.
166
00:07:03,767 --> 00:07:07,600
And I'm grabbing
orange cognac
for an extra oomph
167
00:07:07,667 --> 00:07:09,867
'cause, you know,
I'm the Queen of Flavor.
168
00:07:09,867 --> 00:07:11,000
[laughs]
169
00:07:11,066 --> 00:07:13,266
All right. Time to go cook.
170
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:15,266
Once they're back
in their station,
there's no more shopping.
171
00:07:15,266 --> 00:07:16,767
I hope they got
everything they needed.
172
00:07:16,767 --> 00:07:20,266
Here to critique
tonight's sweets
is our sweet panel of experts.
173
00:07:20,266 --> 00:07:22,567
Food Network star,

the one and only,
Damaris Phillips.
176
00:07:26,567 --> 00:07:28,867
I did say "dessert"
and not "desert".
177
00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:30,867
James Beard award-winning
cookbook author
178
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:32,367
and New York restaurant icon,
179
00:07:32,367 --> 00:07:36,400
the one and only
OG legend himself,
Chef Rocco DiSpirito!
180
00:07:36,467 --> 00:07:38,000
Thank you, brother.
Thank you, guys. Thank you.
181
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000
And acclaimed restauranteur,
whose deconstructed desserts
are legendary,
182
00:07:42,066 --> 00:07:44,100
the one and only
Chef Michael Voltaggio.
183
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:46,200
AKA the Flavortown sweetheart.
184
00:07:46,266 --> 00:07:47,600
[laughs]
185
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,000
[Lasheeda] Where's my fryer?
186
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,700
The first thing I need to do
is start frying those tacos
187
00:07:52,767 --> 00:07:54,367
because they can't be warm
188
00:07:54,367 --> 00:07:58,867
because I need to
fill them with the matcha
and strawberry whips.
189
00:07:58,867 --> 00:08:02,100
It looks like Lasheeda's
frying taco shells,
right now...
190
00:08:02,166 --> 00:08:04,300
-Ooh.
-...for some kind
of a dessert taco.
191
00:08:04,367 --> 00:08:06,000
[Rocco] Taco shells
are so salty.
192
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,800
It's gonna be curious
to see how she turns it
193
00:08:07,867 --> 00:08:09,266
-to something sweet.
-Yeah.
194
00:08:09,266 --> 00:08:10,900
[Lasheeda] There we go.
195
00:08:10,967 --> 00:08:12,667
[sharp exhale] Oh, shoot.
196
00:08:12,667 --> 00:08:15,967
I've never made a sweet taco
like this before,
197
00:08:15,967 --> 00:08:19,100
but I'm going to take
a risk here and wing it.
198
00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:23,100
How do I get these good
and crispy, though?
199
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:28,400
I'm struggling over here
with getting the tortillas
to hold that taco shape.
200
00:08:28,467 --> 00:08:31,600
Oh, they're not puffing up
the way I want them to.
201
00:08:31,667 --> 00:08:34,800
This is crazy, like,
I don't have time for this.
202
00:08:34,867 --> 00:08:36,266
[chuckles worriedly]
203
00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:45,266
[Guy] 15 minutes! 15 to go.
204
00:08:45,266 --> 00:08:46,700
It's in the fryer.
205
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:50,467
This is crazy.
20 minutes to make
a fried sugared taco.
206
00:08:50,467 --> 00:08:51,567
Like... [exhales]
207
00:08:51,567 --> 00:08:53,767
-I could use a tip, Chef.
-Talk to me.
208
00:08:53,767 --> 00:08:56,500
I wanna make
a sweet crispy taco,
209
00:08:56,567 --> 00:08:59,767
but I'm having a hard time
getting it to hold that shape.
210
00:08:59,767 --> 00:09:01,867
I know you have a solution
for this.
211
00:09:01,867 --> 00:09:03,467
You just
stay right there, Chef.
212
00:09:03,467 --> 00:09:06,000
I called my favorite "Guy".
[laughing]
213
00:09:06,066 --> 00:09:07,367
There you go, Chef,
taco molds.
214
00:09:07,367 --> 00:09:08,667
I love you,
I love you, I love you.
215
00:09:08,667 --> 00:09:10,867
-Uh, who's your buddy,
who's your pal?
-You're my guy!
216
00:09:10,867 --> 00:09:13,567
-Yes, Chef.
-You're just gonna have to
hold them there for a second.
217
00:09:13,567 --> 00:09:15,367
-Got it!
-Okay?
218
00:09:15,367 --> 00:09:17,000
You're all right.
You're my "Guy".
219
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,800
[Guy] 14 minutes!
All right, Chef, gameplan?
220
00:09:19,867 --> 00:09:22,200
Stone fruit,
and then with that
a little bit of thyme.
221
00:09:22,266 --> 00:09:24,467
-And you're gonna put this
inside of an empanada?
-Yeah.
222
00:09:24,467 --> 00:09:26,033
Okay. Good luck.
223
00:09:26,033 --> 00:09:27,734
[Caleb] The first thing
I'm gonna get going
is the fillings.
224
00:09:27,734 --> 00:09:31,867
Some dried cherries,
elderflower liquor,
a little thyme, apricot jam.
225
00:09:31,867 --> 00:09:34,667
After I get the filling made,
I run them over to
the blast chiller.
226
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:38,200
I'm running short on time.
I've got to get my fillings
in my hand pies
227
00:09:38,266 --> 00:09:41,266
but I'm worried
if I put the hot filling
onto the empanada dough,
228
00:09:41,266 --> 00:09:42,667
I won't get
the empanada dough
to seal.
229
00:09:42,667 --> 00:09:43,800
How's it going, Jamal?
230
00:09:43,867 --> 00:09:46,000
-I'm doing good. And you?
-[Caleb] Good.
231
00:09:46,066 --> 00:09:49,066
[Jamal] First thing
I gotta do is open up
these empanada shells,
232
00:09:49,066 --> 00:09:51,567
let them defrost
while I work on the filling.
233
00:09:51,567 --> 00:09:54,667
Put in my mixer: cream cheese
and a little bit of sugar.
234
00:09:56,266 --> 00:09:57,800
The reason
I'm adding white chocolate
235
00:09:57,867 --> 00:10:00,100
is to tone down the saltiness
of the cream cheese
236
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:03,166
because those empanada shells
might be a little salty,
237
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:06,867
so I wanna make sure
I've got the perfect balance
of salty and sweet.
238
00:10:06,867 --> 00:10:09,300
[Guy] We have
11 minutes left, Chefs,
11 minutes!
239
00:10:09,367 --> 00:10:12,000
[Sarah] First thing
I get started on
is my berry sauce.
240
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,967
Oh, I haven't put
the baby food in there.
241
00:10:13,967 --> 00:10:16,967
I have my
mixed berry baby food.
I add a little bit of sugar.
242
00:10:16,967 --> 00:10:18,800
Oh, look at the little scoop!
243
00:10:19,867 --> 00:10:21,467
And I get that cooking
on the stove.
244
00:10:21,467 --> 00:10:22,667
[whispering]
There we go.
245
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:25,500
Next, I need to work on
my rice pudding arancini.
246
00:10:25,567 --> 00:10:28,700
I take minute rice,
I'm gonna pop it
into the microwave,
247
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:31,166
and then I'm gonna
mix it into my rice pudding.
248
00:10:31,166 --> 00:10:34,000
Everybody likes cinnamon
on their rice pudding.
249
00:10:34,066 --> 00:10:36,200
Now I'm gonna shape it all
into a ball.
250
00:10:36,266 --> 00:10:39,166
The thing that concerns me
about Sarah's direction
is that...
251
00:10:39,166 --> 00:10:41,300
-You have concern already?
-...is being able to mold
that arancini...
252
00:10:41,367 --> 00:10:42,500
-[Rocco] Yeah.
-...you know, 'cause usually
253
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:43,767
-you're working
with cold risotto.
-[Rocco] Yes.
254
00:10:43,767 --> 00:10:45,467
-Yes.
-Being able to shape that,
to bread it, to fry it,
255
00:10:45,467 --> 00:10:46,667
might be tough.
256
00:10:46,667 --> 00:10:48,467
[Sarah] Put these
in the blast chiller.
257
00:10:48,467 --> 00:10:52,066
I'm going to pop it
into the blast chiller so
it stiffens up a little bit
258
00:10:52,066 --> 00:10:53,867
so when I dredge it
it doesn't all fall apart.
259
00:10:53,867 --> 00:10:55,700
All right.
260
00:10:55,767 --> 00:10:58,367
This'll work great,
but I'm nervous
that 20 minutes
261
00:10:58,367 --> 00:11:02,166
is a very, very short
amount of time to really
develop a lot of flavor.
262
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:03,567
It feels like two seconds.
263
00:11:03,567 --> 00:11:05,066
[Guy] Ten minutes to go!
264
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:07,667
All right,
that's all I got time for.
265
00:11:07,667 --> 00:11:12,867
My tortillas are done.
Now I'm going to coat
these fried tacos
266
00:11:12,867 --> 00:11:15,467
with some granulated sugar
and cinnamon.
267
00:11:15,467 --> 00:11:18,400
Just the outside,
'cause it can become
too sweet.
268
00:11:18,467 --> 00:11:22,000
Next, I'm going to make
my strawberry whip
269
00:11:22,066 --> 00:11:24,166
which is my filling for them.
270
00:11:24,166 --> 00:11:26,767
I have some cream
and the strawberry sugar.
271
00:11:26,767 --> 00:11:29,367
And a little big
of orange cognac.
272
00:11:29,367 --> 00:11:30,900
I love boozy desserts.
273
00:11:30,967 --> 00:11:33,567
I have
my strawberry whip whipping.
274
00:11:33,567 --> 00:11:36,867
I'm going to slice up my
kumquats to candy them.
275
00:11:36,867 --> 00:11:39,667
Water and sugar
and get them on the stove.
276
00:11:39,667 --> 00:11:41,567
Now I'm going to
make this matcha.
277
00:11:41,567 --> 00:11:44,166
Some matcha powder
and some heavy cream.
278
00:11:46,567 --> 00:11:47,767
Seven and a half minutes!
279
00:11:47,767 --> 00:11:50,200
[Caleb] While my filling
is in the blast chiller,
280
00:11:50,266 --> 00:11:51,567
I'm going to
start working
on my Chantilly.
281
00:11:51,567 --> 00:11:54,467
Heavy cream,
powdered sugar.
282
00:11:56,367 --> 00:11:57,934
My filling is chilled.
283
00:11:57,934 --> 00:11:59,967
I'm gonna start
and put this filling
into the empanada dough.
284
00:11:59,967 --> 00:12:02,266
I think my advantage
in this competition
285
00:12:02,266 --> 00:12:04,967
is that I don't have
a huge sweet tooth.
286
00:12:04,967 --> 00:12:07,867
I think that's what
helps me to incorporate
a lot of savory elements
287
00:12:07,867 --> 00:12:10,100
into desserts, is because
it gives me something
288
00:12:10,166 --> 00:12:14,567
that allows me to provide
something sweet and decadent
for everybody else
289
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:17,600
and still be able to
play to my own likes.
290
00:12:17,667 --> 00:12:19,266
Golden brown there, buddy.
291
00:12:19,266 --> 00:12:21,300
[Caleb] I pull my hand pies
out of the fryer.
292
00:12:21,367 --> 00:12:23,000
If I put them in the glaze
while it's still hot,
293
00:12:23,066 --> 00:12:25,567
it'll ensure that I get
a really thin coating
of the glaze.
294
00:12:25,567 --> 00:12:27,367
[Guy] Six minutes!
Six to go!
295
00:12:27,367 --> 00:12:29,166
[Jamal] I've got to
put my empanadas together.
296
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:32,467
So I put my guava pears down,
the cream cheese filling.
297
00:12:32,467 --> 00:12:36,100
Oh, yeah,
this is gonna be so good!
298
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:39,667
I crimp my empanadas,
and I put them in the fryer.
299
00:12:39,667 --> 00:12:41,867
I love a little pineapple
and... Oh!
300
00:12:41,867 --> 00:12:44,567
I'm gonna start working on
the piña colada sauce.
301
00:12:44,567 --> 00:12:48,967
I put the frozen
pineapple puree in a pot,
add some of my coconut cream.
302
00:12:48,967 --> 00:12:53,867
The pineapple is gonna bring
that extra little acidity
to balance this dessert.
303
00:12:53,867 --> 00:12:57,266
The pineapple with it. Oof!
I love that.
304
00:12:58,467 --> 00:13:00,567
[Guy] Five minutes,
five to go!
305
00:13:00,567 --> 00:13:03,367
-What's in the blast chiller?
-The arancini. I gotta go
pull them out, actually.
306
00:13:03,367 --> 00:13:05,266
Hang on one 'sec.
307
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:08,567
She's very organized.
308
00:13:08,567 --> 00:13:10,166
[Sarah] Yeah, you're good.
309
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:13,300
I check on my arancini
in the blast chiller
and they're perfect.
310
00:13:13,367 --> 00:13:15,767
And I'm gonna
roll it in my egg
and then the bread crumbs.
311
00:13:15,767 --> 00:13:18,367
So when I fry it
it'll get nice and crispy.
312
00:13:18,367 --> 00:13:20,166
Fry, little babies!
313
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,367
Get in there!
[mimics whooshing]
314
00:13:22,367 --> 00:13:24,233
While my arancini is frying,
315
00:13:24,233 --> 00:13:28,667
I'm going to blend up
my sauce, and then I'm going
to pass it through a sieve.
316
00:13:28,667 --> 00:13:30,800
'cause I want to see a nice,
smooth sauce.
317
00:13:30,867 --> 00:13:32,166
It'll look nice and refined.
318
00:13:32,166 --> 00:13:34,100
You're looking done.
319
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,166
Two minutes,
chefs, two to go!
320
00:13:37,166 --> 00:13:41,100
[Lasheeda] I put down
my sugar-coated fried taco,
321
00:13:41,100 --> 00:13:43,367
my strawberry whip.
322
00:13:43,367 --> 00:13:47,066
Next, I added
my matcha whip
323
00:13:47,066 --> 00:13:51,367
and then my candied kumquats
and my micro mint.
324
00:13:51,367 --> 00:13:53,700
That took 20 minutes
of my life!
325
00:13:53,767 --> 00:13:56,367
[Guy] Guys,
you've got 90 seconds.
You got to get plated!
326
00:13:56,367 --> 00:13:58,200
[Caleb] When I'm thinking
of friend, hand held desserts,
327
00:13:58,266 --> 00:13:59,533
I'm thinking
of the county fair.
328
00:13:59,533 --> 00:14:02,066
I'm gonna put it in a basket
with some parchment paper.
329
00:14:02,066 --> 00:14:04,100
And then I scoop my Chantilly
into the ramekins
330
00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:05,266
and put them alongside of it.
331
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:08,767
-[Guy] One minute!
-Thank you.
332
00:14:08,767 --> 00:14:11,266
[Jamal] I put my empanadas
onto the fryer.
333
00:14:11,266 --> 00:14:12,667
They're nice and golden.
334
00:14:12,667 --> 00:14:14,467
Now I gotta get
the cinnamon sugar on.
335
00:14:14,467 --> 00:14:17,467
I'm gonna put my
piña colada dipping sauce
in a little ramekin.
336
00:14:17,467 --> 00:14:19,700
Ooh, Jamal's
using those fry baskets
337
00:14:19,767 --> 00:14:22,867
which I think is so cute
for a fried dessert challenge.
338
00:14:22,867 --> 00:14:24,900
[Guy] 30 seconds to plate!
339
00:14:24,967 --> 00:14:28,100
[Sarah] I put my sweet
berry sauce down into
my plate
340
00:14:28,166 --> 00:14:31,066
and then I put my little
arancini right in the middle
341
00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:32,967
and they're perfect.
342
00:14:32,967 --> 00:14:37,900
Five, four, three, two, one.
343
00:14:37,967 --> 00:14:39,400
That's it! Stop working.
344
00:14:39,467 --> 00:14:41,266
[cheering and applause]
345
00:14:41,266 --> 00:14:42,467
[Rocco] Nice job,
everybody, nice job.
346
00:14:42,467 --> 00:14:43,567
[Damaris] This is
very impressive.
347
00:14:43,567 --> 00:14:45,700
-Good job, y'all!
-[Guy] All right, folks,
348
00:14:45,767 --> 00:14:47,800
it's time to give the judges
a sugar rush!
349
00:14:47,867 --> 00:14:49,667
Follow me right this way.
350
00:14:56,467 --> 00:14:59,600
Judges, this is it.
Round one of GGG
Dessert Games,
351
00:14:59,667 --> 00:15:01,667
and our chefs had to play
a little Sugar Rush
352
00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:04,467
to make a handheld
fried dessert in just
20 minutes
353
00:15:04,467 --> 00:15:06,000
and they were so happy.
354
00:15:06,066 --> 00:15:08,867
They could only grab
all the ingredients
they needed in one shop
355
00:15:08,867 --> 00:15:10,000
and what was
in their hands.
356
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,900
Chef Caleb, you're up first.
Tell us what you made.
357
00:15:12,967 --> 00:15:16,600
So, in the style of fried pie,
it's a cherry and apricot
fried pie.
358
00:15:16,667 --> 00:15:19,767
In that filling there's
a little bit of thyme that
I cooked into the filling.
359
00:15:19,767 --> 00:15:22,300
The dough itself,
is an empanada dough.
360
00:15:22,367 --> 00:15:27,266
Caleb, what I really
appreciated was how you
got the flavors of sweet,
361
00:15:27,266 --> 00:15:30,467
sour, bitter and a little bit
of salt in there.
362
00:15:30,467 --> 00:15:32,600
It eats like a sophisticated
fine dining dessert.
363
00:15:32,667 --> 00:15:34,100
Great gameplay.
364
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:36,000
I love how this is clearly
handheld.
365
00:15:36,066 --> 00:15:38,667
I love that
there's a dipping sauce
that's also handheld
366
00:15:38,667 --> 00:15:40,967
so you can walk around
and, you know, enjoy this.
367
00:15:40,967 --> 00:15:43,600
Grabbing dried fruit
as well as the jam
368
00:15:43,667 --> 00:15:47,000
makes me feel like you
cooked the filling yourself.
369
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,500
Then to add the thyme
is lovely.
370
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:51,400
Herbs and desserts
are so underutilized.
371
00:15:51,467 --> 00:15:53,100
Thank you.
372
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:55,700
All right, not to be outdone,
Chef Sarah.
373
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:58,100
Today for my
handheld fried dessert,
374
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,500
I made
a rice pudding arancini.
375
00:16:00,567 --> 00:16:02,567
I used the premade
rice pudding,
376
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:04,900
but then I also got
the minute-30 rice
377
00:16:04,967 --> 00:16:06,433
to kinda bulk it up
a little bit.
378
00:16:06,433 --> 00:16:09,000
And then I wanted
to have a little tart
dipping sauce in there, too,
379
00:16:09,066 --> 00:16:10,333
that would be fun.
380
00:16:10,333 --> 00:16:12,367
That's why
there's a little
bit of baby food in there too.
381
00:16:12,367 --> 00:16:16,200
Okay, one, we've never
seen a sweet arancini
in Flavortown.
382
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:19,867
Two, we've never seen
anybody go use baby food
'cause they wanted to!
383
00:16:19,867 --> 00:16:21,133
It's fantastic.
384
00:16:21,166 --> 00:16:25,100
Sarah, you can tell
that you make donuts
for a living.
385
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:29,400
The texture on the inside
is giving me this beautiful
little chew.
386
00:16:29,467 --> 00:16:31,367
For me,
it's a little one-note.
387
00:16:31,367 --> 00:16:33,700
It's, like,
just fruit and sweet.
388
00:16:33,767 --> 00:16:37,867
And I think any other
heat or spice or herb
389
00:16:37,867 --> 00:16:39,867
would have made it pop
a little bit more.
390
00:16:39,867 --> 00:16:41,800
I was really impressed
with all the technique.
391
00:16:41,867 --> 00:16:45,667
The passing of the sauce,
the blending, the pureeing.
392
00:16:45,667 --> 00:16:47,467
Clearly, you know
what you're doing.
393
00:16:47,467 --> 00:16:50,467
Plating-wise, I thought it was
a beautifully-plated dessert.
394
00:16:50,467 --> 00:16:52,300
But I think the filling
on the inside,
395
00:16:52,367 --> 00:16:55,700
because you mixed
the minute rice
into the rice pudding,
396
00:16:55,767 --> 00:16:58,266
that needed a little bit
more flavor added to it
397
00:16:58,266 --> 00:17:00,700
just to make it, like,
pop a little bit more
on the inside.
398
00:17:00,767 --> 00:17:02,133
Gotcha.
399
00:17:02,133 --> 00:17:05,600
Thank you very much, chefs.
All right, next up,
Chef Jamal.
400
00:17:05,667 --> 00:17:07,467
What I made for you guys
is a guava
401
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:11,066
and cream cheese empanada
and a piña colada sauce.
402
00:17:11,066 --> 00:17:14,400
So, inside the empanada,
I have a white chocolate,
cream cheese filling,
403
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:16,800
and I did a little
cinnamon sugar
on the outside
404
00:17:16,867 --> 00:17:19,767
so it kind of gives it
that little churro
kind of flavor.
405
00:17:19,767 --> 00:17:22,967
Jamal, I think it's brilliant.
This definitely feels like
a handheld dessert,
406
00:17:22,967 --> 00:17:24,967
so great gameplay there.
407
00:17:24,967 --> 00:17:28,066
And I liked how, like,
flaky and light
your dough felt
408
00:17:28,066 --> 00:17:29,767
on the outside
of your empanada.
409
00:17:29,767 --> 00:17:33,800
-But the entirety of
the dessert is a little sweet.
-Okay.
410
00:17:33,867 --> 00:17:38,200
The combination
of the big chunks of guava
with the cream work great.
411
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:40,166
I like the pineapple sauce
a lot.
412
00:17:40,166 --> 00:17:43,266
I think that would have
worked great on its own
as its own dessert.
413
00:17:43,266 --> 00:17:45,266
But together,
they also work well.
414
00:17:45,266 --> 00:17:46,800
[Damaris] It's fried
very, very well.
415
00:17:46,867 --> 00:17:51,266
For me,
the only miss is I don't
need the white chocolate.
416
00:17:51,266 --> 00:17:53,967
I think the white chocolate's
actually fighting
with the guava
417
00:17:53,967 --> 00:17:58,200
and the guava with this,
like, piña colada
almost pudding
418
00:17:58,266 --> 00:18:01,567
-is so beautiful.
-Okay. Good.
419
00:18:01,567 --> 00:18:06,100
Well, not to be outdone...
Chef Lasheeda's next.
420
00:18:06,166 --> 00:18:09,800
For the Sugar Rush challenge,
I made a sweet taco
421
00:18:09,867 --> 00:18:12,867
filled with both a matcha
and strawberry whip.
422
00:18:12,867 --> 00:18:16,667
To bring in some tartness,
I lightly candied
some kumquats.
423
00:18:16,667 --> 00:18:21,867
Chef Lasheeda, I think you did
a really nice job of creating
an expectation
424
00:18:21,867 --> 00:18:23,433
and then exceeding it.
425
00:18:23,433 --> 00:18:26,867
I love the combination
of flavors, but I wish it was
a tiny bit crispier
426
00:18:26,867 --> 00:18:30,467
so that when I bit it
it didn't squash out
all the filling.
427
00:18:30,467 --> 00:18:32,600
The creams themselves
are beautiful.
428
00:18:32,667 --> 00:18:35,367
They taste delicious,
but they were so refined
429
00:18:35,367 --> 00:18:37,867
that the flavor of the corn
was masking all the work
430
00:18:37,867 --> 00:18:40,667
that you put into creating
the flavor and the texture
in the cream
431
00:18:40,667 --> 00:18:43,800
and so it just sort of
disappeared when
it hits your palate.
432
00:18:43,867 --> 00:18:45,800
This is an absolutely
stunning dish.
433
00:18:45,867 --> 00:18:50,066
For me, the only problem
is that it's not handheld.
434
00:18:50,066 --> 00:18:52,967
Because I wanna
get in there, but it's just
falling everywhere
435
00:18:52,967 --> 00:18:56,600
making it a little hard
for it to be a fried
handheld dessert.
436
00:18:56,667 --> 00:18:57,867
Thank you.
437
00:18:57,867 --> 00:19:00,500
Chefs, you crushed it.
Dynamite job.
438
00:19:00,567 --> 00:19:02,967
Unfortunately, somebody
gets sent home
after this round.
439
00:19:02,967 --> 00:19:05,200
So we're gonna
send you back to the kitchens.
440
00:19:05,266 --> 00:19:07,066
We'll call you back when
we have a decision. Thank you.
441
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:11,367
Judges, remember we have
20 points available
on gameplay.
442
00:19:11,367 --> 00:19:16,767
20 points available on taste
and ten points for plating
for a possible of 50 points.
443
00:19:16,767 --> 00:19:19,967
And it's time to see
who is about to be deserted.
444
00:19:28,967 --> 00:19:30,166
[Guy] Let's take a look
at the scores.
445
00:19:30,166 --> 00:19:34,000
Sarah, you get
a 16 out of 20 in gameplay.
446
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,567
14 out of 20 in taste.
447
00:19:36,567 --> 00:19:39,100
Eight out of ten in plating
for a score of 38.
448
00:19:39,100 --> 00:19:40,100
Jamal...
449
00:19:41,900 --> 00:19:43,700
16 out of 20 in gameplay.
450
00:19:44,266 --> 00:19:46,367
13 out of 20 in taste.
451
00:19:46,367 --> 00:19:51,166
Nine out of ten in plating
for a 38 also. A tie!
452
00:19:51,166 --> 00:19:53,166
Caleb...
453
00:19:53,166 --> 00:19:55,400
16 out of 20 in gameplay.
454
00:19:55,467 --> 00:19:57,367
15 out of 20 in taste.
455
00:19:57,367 --> 00:20:00,100
Eight out ten in plating
for a 39.
456
00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:02,467
A one point edge.
You definitely aren't
going home.
457
00:20:02,467 --> 00:20:04,900
And that leads us
to Lasheeda.
458
00:20:04,967 --> 00:20:09,900
15 out of 20 in gameplay.
14 out of 20 in taste.
459
00:20:09,967 --> 00:20:13,367
Eight out of ten in plating,
for a 37.
460
00:20:13,367 --> 00:20:16,100
One point
behind the tie of 38.
461
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,166
And you know what...
462
00:20:18,166 --> 00:20:21,066
when I look at that 37,
all I can remember is that
463
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:25,700
when you are
the Queen of Flavor
464
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:27,800
you do not leave Flavortown,
you're staying.
465
00:20:27,867 --> 00:20:30,266
[cheering and applause]
466
00:20:31,567 --> 00:20:34,000
You cannot throw
the Queen of Flavor
out of Flavortown, folks.
467
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,467
Second round, deciding round,
comes up now.
468
00:20:37,467 --> 00:20:39,000
Back to your carts
and good luck!
469
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,867
Whoo! That was awesome.
470
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:48,000
Chefs, for the final round,
I want you to prove you are
the master of sweet treats
471
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,767
by making your
signature dessert.
472
00:20:50,767 --> 00:20:54,066
The one, that when people
talk about you they go,
"Oh, my gosh."
473
00:20:54,066 --> 00:20:56,066
Now, I saw a lot of fruit
in round one
474
00:20:56,066 --> 00:21:00,467
so I was thinking,
"What would go better
than fruit, than vegetables?"
475
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:04,667
And to help you out,
we're going to play
a little game of Produce Toss.
476
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,400
What you'll do,
is you will take
one of these fresh fruits
477
00:21:09,467 --> 00:21:13,300
wing it from your cart
into this basket
478
00:21:13,367 --> 00:21:15,100
and whatever basket
you land,
479
00:21:15,166 --> 00:21:18,967
you must include
that ingredient
in your signature dessert.
480
00:21:18,967 --> 00:21:23,100
So, you could score
zucchini, sweet potato,
butternut squash,
481
00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:26,567
canned beets, party,
avocado or corn.
482
00:21:26,567 --> 00:21:29,000
-Caleb, you can go first.
-All right.
483
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,266
Step up, step in,
come in and win!
484
00:21:30,266 --> 00:21:33,467
-What are you aiming for?
-I want corn.
485
00:21:33,467 --> 00:21:36,166
-[Caleb] That's it.
-[all cheering]
486
00:21:36,166 --> 00:21:38,066
[Guy] Corn it is!
Sarah, what are you
going for?
487
00:21:38,066 --> 00:21:40,100
Corn as well.
488
00:21:40,166 --> 00:21:41,767
[screams with delight]
489
00:21:41,767 --> 00:21:43,667
All right, Jamal,
what's it gonna be?
490
00:21:43,667 --> 00:21:46,667
I am going for sweet potato.
491
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,667
-[Guy] Did you get it?
-[Jamal] Yeah!
492
00:21:49,667 --> 00:21:51,300
-Okay, are you ready,
Lasheeda?
-Yes.
493
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:54,667
-What are you gonna go for?
-Either avocado
or sweet potato.
494
00:21:54,667 --> 00:21:56,467
Well, they're kinda
in the club.
495
00:21:56,467 --> 00:21:58,700
-Sweet potato it is!
-This is ridiculous.
496
00:21:58,767 --> 00:22:02,000
-So, they all got exactly
what they wanted.
-[Rocco laughing]
497
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,100
Two have played for corn,
they got it.
498
00:22:04,166 --> 00:22:06,500
Two played for
sweet potato, you got it.
499
00:22:06,567 --> 00:22:10,100
You must create
a signature dish
using that ingredient.
500
00:22:10,166 --> 00:22:12,300
You can shop for anything else
you want in the store.
501
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:16,667
You have 30 minutes
to shop, prepare and plate
your signature dessert.
502
00:22:16,667 --> 00:22:18,767
Now, just so you guys
understand this,
503
00:22:18,767 --> 00:22:22,667
out of the four of you,
had I only let three of you
pick which ones you wanted,
504
00:22:22,667 --> 00:22:25,200
if you two had gotten
sweet potato
505
00:22:25,266 --> 00:22:27,567
and I only let one of you
go and use it, that would...
506
00:22:27,567 --> 00:22:30,266
There we go!
Now they're fired up!
507
00:22:30,266 --> 00:22:31,700
I caught it that time!
508
00:22:33,266 --> 00:22:34,767
Sweet corn.
509
00:22:34,767 --> 00:22:38,367
[Sarah] I have to make
a signature dessert
using corn.
510
00:22:38,367 --> 00:22:40,000
Oh, duh, I went passed it.
511
00:22:40,066 --> 00:22:43,066
There's so many yummy things
you can do with corn
512
00:22:43,066 --> 00:22:45,266
to make it sweet,
and I love corn bread.
513
00:22:45,266 --> 00:22:49,500
So for my signature dessert,
I'm thinking of making
a waffle.
514
00:22:49,567 --> 00:22:52,767
I think that breakfast
is the first opportunity
in the day
515
00:22:52,767 --> 00:22:55,266
that you can have dessert,
and so why shouldn't it be?
516
00:22:55,266 --> 00:22:56,900
I need some popcorn.
517
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:59,867
And then I'm thinking,
"What's another way
to use corn? Popcorn!"
518
00:22:59,867 --> 00:23:02,567
And what a nice little accent
right on top
519
00:23:02,567 --> 00:23:04,266
with a kettle corn
whipped cream.
520
00:23:04,266 --> 00:23:05,934
Whoo.
521
00:23:05,934 --> 00:23:08,767
I'm grabbing blueberries
because I feel like
blueberries and corn,
522
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:09,900
they just go together.
523
00:23:09,967 --> 00:23:13,100
It's like the perfect little
fruit-vegetable marriage.
524
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:16,767
Oh, I've made a mess!
Clean-up on aisle one!
525
00:23:16,767 --> 00:23:19,467
Okay, okay,
you've got this, Lasheeda.
526
00:23:19,467 --> 00:23:21,600
I was at the bottom,
the first round.
527
00:23:21,667 --> 00:23:23,900
I need to show
why I'm here.
528
00:23:23,967 --> 00:23:25,667
Sweet potato...
529
00:23:25,667 --> 00:23:26,867
I got sweet potato.
530
00:23:26,867 --> 00:23:28,600
What goes well
with sweet potato?
531
00:23:28,667 --> 00:23:31,400
Okay, caramel goes well
with sweet potato.
532
00:23:31,467 --> 00:23:34,867
I'm making a dulce de leche
lava cake
533
00:23:34,867 --> 00:23:38,400
because it's easy
to put together
and typically it bakes fast.
534
00:23:38,467 --> 00:23:39,900
Sweet potatoes in here.
535
00:23:39,967 --> 00:23:43,567
And I'm going to do
ube sweet potato
ice cream.
536
00:23:43,567 --> 00:23:44,900
Um...
537
00:23:44,900 --> 00:23:48,000
There's a variety of purple
sweet potatoes in the world.
538
00:23:48,066 --> 00:23:51,567
Ube is very popular
in the Philippines.
539
00:23:51,567 --> 00:23:53,967
[Michael] Lasheeda grabbed ube
which, as we know,
540
00:23:53,967 --> 00:23:56,000
is in a Filipino dessert.
It's a purple yam.
541
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,667
[Lasheeda] Could do
a whiskey.
542
00:23:57,667 --> 00:24:03,000
I grab some whiskey as well
because I need a sauce
to go with this lava cake.
543
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,100
I got to start cooking.
544
00:24:04,166 --> 00:24:05,900
-Yeah, it'd be a good idea.
-Time to go.
545
00:24:05,967 --> 00:24:08,467
Okay, go get them, sister.
She's got booze in there.
546
00:24:08,467 --> 00:24:10,266
I need eggs.
Eggs, eggs, eggs.
547
00:24:10,266 --> 00:24:13,667
[Jamal] When I think
of a signature dessert,
I think molten lava cake.
548
00:24:13,667 --> 00:24:15,667
I am king of the molten cake.
549
00:24:15,667 --> 00:24:16,800
Sweet potatoes.
550
00:24:16,867 --> 00:24:18,467
I'm going to make a spin
on sweet potato pie
551
00:24:18,467 --> 00:24:21,300
by making a sweet potato
swirl ice cream
552
00:24:21,367 --> 00:24:24,166
with my famous chocolate
molten lava cake.
553
00:24:24,166 --> 00:24:25,767
-[Sarah] Pardon me.
-[Jamal] Sorry.
554
00:24:25,767 --> 00:24:27,767
Chocolate molten lava cake
pairs well with ice cream,
555
00:24:27,767 --> 00:24:32,166
but I'm not going to
make ice cream in Flavortown
in 30 minutes from scratch.
556
00:24:32,166 --> 00:24:33,767
That's too much of a risk.
557
00:24:33,767 --> 00:24:37,266
So, to make my ice cream,
I'm gonna grab a can
of sweet potatoes...
558
00:24:37,266 --> 00:24:38,600
Which aisle has the cans
of sweet potatoes?
559
00:24:38,667 --> 00:24:41,000
-Sweet potato
right there, bud.
-[Jamal screeches]
560
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,667
...puree it down,
and I'm gonna swirl
my sweet potato concoction
561
00:24:44,667 --> 00:24:50,400
into a ready-made ice cream
so I got a really fancy
vanilla bean gelato.
562
00:24:50,467 --> 00:24:52,867
So, I like to top
my sweet potato pie
with meringue
563
00:24:52,867 --> 00:24:55,166
so I'm gonna
use some marshmallow fluff
564
00:24:55,166 --> 00:24:59,066
and that is going to replace
my meringue aspect
in my dessert.
565
00:24:59,066 --> 00:25:00,200
I kinda eat a lot of pie.
566
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:03,166
That's a crowded row.
567
00:25:03,166 --> 00:25:04,300
I wanted corn
568
00:25:04,367 --> 00:25:05,867
because corn's
one of those ingredients
569
00:25:05,867 --> 00:25:09,300
that really lends itself well
to sweet and savory
applications.
570
00:25:09,367 --> 00:25:11,100
Frozen berries.
571
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:14,867
So, for my signature dessert,
I'm going to make a corn
and berry cobbler
572
00:25:14,867 --> 00:25:16,567
with a salted
butter ice cream.
573
00:25:16,567 --> 00:25:17,900
Milk, cream...
574
00:25:17,967 --> 00:25:20,000
So, for my ice cream,
extracts are great
575
00:25:20,066 --> 00:25:22,667
because they lend
a quick and easy way
to add flavoring.
576
00:25:22,667 --> 00:25:26,266
And so in Flavortown,
when time is of the essence,
you gotta use the extracts.
577
00:25:26,266 --> 00:25:30,567
For my corn muffin,
typically I'd use in-season
grilled corn for this.
578
00:25:30,567 --> 00:25:32,266
But I'm cooking in Flavortown
so I gotta do a hack,
579
00:25:32,266 --> 00:25:33,867
so I'm grabbing
the canned cream corn.
580
00:25:33,867 --> 00:25:35,800
We've got to
pull out all the stops
for round two.
581
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:38,300
We're playing
for $20,000 here.
It's got to be perfect.
582
00:25:38,367 --> 00:25:39,467
This is where they're
going to get creative.
583
00:25:39,467 --> 00:25:41,467
They should really
bring it all out here.
584
00:25:48,100 --> 00:25:50,667
[Guy] 27 minutes.
People are getting after it.
585
00:25:50,667 --> 00:25:52,166
I think I see
a little cobbler going.
586
00:25:52,166 --> 00:25:55,500
-Cobbler with...
-[Caleb] Sweet corn muffin.
587
00:25:55,567 --> 00:25:58,367
I may get a little crazy,
maybe salt and butter
ice cream.
588
00:25:58,367 --> 00:25:59,700
-[Guy] Do you think you'll
have that kind of time?
-Yes.
589
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:01,266
Okie-dokie.
590
00:26:01,266 --> 00:26:03,266
[Caleb] So, the first thing
I need to do
591
00:26:03,266 --> 00:26:04,900
is get these berries
in the cast irons,
592
00:26:04,967 --> 00:26:07,266
add a little bit of sugar,
a splash of vanilla
593
00:26:07,266 --> 00:26:08,567
and place them in the oven.
594
00:26:08,567 --> 00:26:10,400
There we go.
595
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,700
Knowing I have to get
ice cream in as soon as
these berries are in the oven,
596
00:26:12,767 --> 00:26:14,467
I got to get that base going.
597
00:26:14,467 --> 00:26:17,767
I get my milk and heavy cream
into a pot, add some eggs,
598
00:26:17,767 --> 00:26:20,700
and whisk in a little bit
of sugar and some corn starch
to make a slurry.
599
00:26:20,767 --> 00:26:22,867
Making ice cream,
it could be a bit of a risk.
600
00:26:22,867 --> 00:26:24,567
You really have to
get the texture right
601
00:26:24,567 --> 00:26:26,767
and there's a lot
that can go wrong in it.
602
00:26:26,767 --> 00:26:28,467
But, without risk,
there's no reward.
603
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,367
My wife
is a special needs teacher
604
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:35,467
and I have a passion
for working with
at-risk youth
605
00:26:35,467 --> 00:26:37,667
and so if I win
the $20,000 today,
606
00:26:37,667 --> 00:26:40,100
I'm gonna put it towards
the Fischer Family Farmstead
607
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:42,266
in hopes that we can build
it out to be a resource
608
00:26:42,266 --> 00:26:45,567
for special needs adults
and at-risk youth.
609
00:26:45,567 --> 00:26:49,400
Making fresh ice cream
in a competition
is very difficult.
610
00:26:49,467 --> 00:26:51,600
[Caleb] How are you doing,
Jamal? What are you making?
611
00:26:51,667 --> 00:26:54,166
I'm making, like,
a spin on sweet potato pie.
612
00:26:54,166 --> 00:26:57,867
-[Caleb] Using
fresh or frozen?
-[Jamal] Canned, baby.
613
00:26:57,867 --> 00:27:00,667
So, the first thing I do
is start on my sweet potato
ice cream.
614
00:27:00,667 --> 00:27:02,567
So, I open up
a can of sweet potatoes
615
00:27:02,567 --> 00:27:04,300
and I put it
right into my blender
616
00:27:04,367 --> 00:27:06,600
and get it going
so it's nice and smooth.
617
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:10,567
I'm going to be adding
some cinnamon, nutmeg
and ginger.
618
00:27:10,567 --> 00:27:13,367
After it's nice and smooth
I'm going to put it
in a pot
619
00:27:13,367 --> 00:27:15,300
because I want to bring
that sweet potato
back to life.
620
00:27:15,367 --> 00:27:17,667
Now I'm going to
put that in a blast chiller
621
00:27:17,667 --> 00:27:19,400
because I'm using
premade ice cream
622
00:27:19,467 --> 00:27:21,367
so if I add this hot
sweet potato in there,
623
00:27:21,367 --> 00:27:23,100
the ice cream
is going to melt.
624
00:27:23,166 --> 00:27:24,834
Definitely think
it's smart gameplay
625
00:27:24,834 --> 00:27:28,266
to grab the premade
ice cream just like Jamal did
and add other flavors to it.
626
00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:30,400
[Jamal] I'm one point
behind the leader
627
00:27:30,467 --> 00:27:31,867
and if I execute it right
628
00:27:31,867 --> 00:27:35,000
I could win $20,000
with this signature dessert
629
00:27:35,066 --> 00:27:37,166
and that money is going to
come in really handy
630
00:27:37,166 --> 00:27:40,166
'cause there's opportunity
for me to expand my bakery
631
00:27:40,166 --> 00:27:43,467
and this would totally give us
the extra capital
that we need.
632
00:27:43,467 --> 00:27:48,000
I need this $20,000.
Give me the money, Guy.
Give me the money.
633
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,166
[Guy] 20 minutes left!
634
00:27:50,166 --> 00:27:54,867
I'm going to make
a corn bread waffle
with some corn in it.
635
00:27:54,867 --> 00:27:56,433
Breakfast of champion.
636
00:27:56,433 --> 00:27:59,467
So, the first thing
I'm going to get started on
is my corn bread waffle.
637
00:27:59,467 --> 00:28:01,500
Mix.
638
00:28:01,567 --> 00:28:07,300
So, I get my eggs,
my oil and my milk
and I make my corn bread mix.
639
00:28:07,367 --> 00:28:10,000
Corn bread, corn-corn.
640
00:28:10,066 --> 00:28:12,367
I add handfuls
of the frozen corn in there.
641
00:28:12,367 --> 00:28:15,166
Are you hot yet? Yeah.
642
00:28:15,166 --> 00:28:16,800
I scoop my batter in there
643
00:28:16,867 --> 00:28:18,567
and let it cook
in the waffle iron.
644
00:28:18,567 --> 00:28:22,300
Ah! I'm going to make
a blueberry syrup.
645
00:28:22,367 --> 00:28:26,400
Usually when I make
my waffles, I love to make
a homemade fruit sauce with it
646
00:28:26,467 --> 00:28:29,467
so I get a pot.
I'm going to put
my blueberries in there.
647
00:28:29,467 --> 00:28:31,867
You know what, I'm going to
keep a couple out
for garnish.
648
00:28:31,867 --> 00:28:33,700
and put a little bit of sugar.
649
00:28:33,767 --> 00:28:36,767
I want to bring that $20,000
home so bad.
650
00:28:36,767 --> 00:28:39,300
Nine months ago
we had our son, Jonah,
651
00:28:39,367 --> 00:28:42,066
and I would love to
put it in a bank account
652
00:28:42,066 --> 00:28:44,600
so that Jonah can go to
whatever school he wants to.
653
00:28:44,667 --> 00:28:46,567
My parents set me up
with my education
654
00:28:46,567 --> 00:28:50,066
so I want to
do the same thing for Jonah
and set him up for success.
655
00:28:50,066 --> 00:28:54,266
-What's on the game plan?
-I am making a dulce de leche
lava cake
656
00:28:54,266 --> 00:28:55,800
with a sweet potato ice cream.
657
00:28:55,867 --> 00:28:57,300
I like the energy
and attitude.
658
00:28:57,367 --> 00:28:59,567
[Lasheeda] I need to
get this ice cream done first.
659
00:28:59,567 --> 00:29:04,867
To start my ice cream I have
some milk, some heavy cream,
some sugar.
660
00:29:04,867 --> 00:29:09,066
I added my defrost
sweet potato cubes.
661
00:29:09,066 --> 00:29:12,000
This is my secret surprise
here for my sweet potato.
662
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,867
and a little bit
of ube extract,
663
00:29:14,867 --> 00:29:16,433
It's a purple sweet potato.
664
00:29:16,467 --> 00:29:19,667
It's actually a smart move.
It gives it a really vibrant,
vibrant color.
665
00:29:19,667 --> 00:29:21,100
Look at that. Do you see that?
666
00:29:21,166 --> 00:29:23,400
-That is some purple.
-Oh, it matches my shirt.
667
00:29:23,467 --> 00:29:24,800
Blend it up.
668
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,867
Oh. That got me real good.
[laughs]
669
00:29:29,867 --> 00:29:32,266
strain it real quick
670
00:29:32,266 --> 00:29:35,066
and dash over
to the ice cream machine.
671
00:29:35,066 --> 00:29:36,900
I pour the base in there.
672
00:29:36,967 --> 00:29:38,567
I'm thinking
in the back of my head,
673
00:29:38,567 --> 00:29:42,100
a batch this size,
it should take roughly
five minutes,
674
00:29:42,166 --> 00:29:44,600
so I'm like,
"Okay, just let that be,"
675
00:29:44,667 --> 00:29:45,767
Coming through!
676
00:29:45,767 --> 00:29:48,166
and I want another component
to this dish
677
00:29:48,166 --> 00:29:51,367
so I'm taking
this lingonberry jam
678
00:29:51,367 --> 00:29:53,467
and I'm going to add
a little bit of bourbon
679
00:29:53,467 --> 00:29:56,567
just to give it
that little kick
and that's my sauce.
680
00:29:56,567 --> 00:29:57,900
Whoo!
681
00:29:57,967 --> 00:30:01,266
I want to win today
because I'm actually
a great-aunty
682
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,667
and I want my nieces
and nephew to know that
683
00:30:03,667 --> 00:30:06,567
when you work hard
and you enjoy what you do,
684
00:30:06,567 --> 00:30:08,767
then good things
will come to you.
685
00:30:08,767 --> 00:30:09,900
[Guy] Where is everybody?
686
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,800
It's like we evacuated
Flavortown.
687
00:30:12,867 --> 00:30:14,467
Everybody's
at the ice cream machine.
688
00:30:14,467 --> 00:30:17,467
[Caleb]
I run over to the machine,
I check on my ice cream.
689
00:30:17,467 --> 00:30:19,567
Let's see where we're at.
Oh, beautiful.
690
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:22,567
It's coming out great.
Now I'm going to start working
on my corn muffin mixture.
691
00:30:22,567 --> 00:30:25,567
I plan on my corn turning into
a sweet corn muffin.
692
00:30:25,567 --> 00:30:28,000
It's going to be used
as a cobbler topping.
693
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,300
I'm throwing my flour
and my sugar into a bowl.
694
00:30:30,367 --> 00:30:33,200
I also add some eggs
and a lot of my sugar's
695
00:30:33,266 --> 00:30:35,300
going to come from
the can of corn itself.
696
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,000
[Jamal] Once my
sweet potato mixture is cool
697
00:30:41,066 --> 00:30:44,467
all I got to do is fold it
into my premade ice cream
698
00:30:44,467 --> 00:30:47,467
and boom... sweet potato
ice cream on the fly.
699
00:30:47,467 --> 00:30:50,467
Now I need to start on
my chocolate molten lava cake.
700
00:30:50,467 --> 00:30:52,567
I put the couverture
chocolate and the butter
701
00:30:52,567 --> 00:30:54,800
in the microwave
and get that going.
702
00:30:54,867 --> 00:30:59,066
I got whole eggs,
egg yolks and sugar
mixing in the mixer.
703
00:30:59,066 --> 00:31:02,000
I got the chocolate butter
mixture, fold in some flour.
704
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:05,667
My strategy was
bake it on a high temperature
705
00:31:05,667 --> 00:31:07,667
because the key
to the molten cake is
706
00:31:07,667 --> 00:31:11,700
you want the outside to cook
but the center to remain soft.
707
00:31:11,767 --> 00:31:13,767
[Guy] 12 minutes, chefs.
12 minutes left.
708
00:31:13,767 --> 00:31:16,300
Lava cake
is a very smart choice
709
00:31:16,367 --> 00:31:19,767
if you get it
into the oven in time.
710
00:31:19,767 --> 00:31:25,200
[Jamal] So, you got to
use this fresh sweet potato
and I thought of a genius way.
711
00:31:25,266 --> 00:31:28,000
I'm gonna put sweet potatoes
on top of the ice cream.
712
00:31:28,066 --> 00:31:30,500
Coming good.
713
00:31:30,567 --> 00:31:35,467
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
You're beautiful.
You're beautiful.
714
00:31:35,467 --> 00:31:37,867
I check on the waffle
and it looks perfect
715
00:31:37,867 --> 00:31:40,266
so now I'm just
cranking out waffles
716
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:43,400
because why would you
just want one waffle?
717
00:31:43,467 --> 00:31:45,400
Yeah, let's do another.
718
00:31:45,467 --> 00:31:47,367
The last thing I have to do
is my whipped cream
719
00:31:47,367 --> 00:31:51,367
so I pop my cream on the stove
so that that can start
warming up.
720
00:31:51,367 --> 00:31:53,400
I'm going to get
my popcorn popping.
721
00:31:53,467 --> 00:31:56,867
So, it looks like
Sarah is tripling down
on the corn flavor.
722
00:31:56,867 --> 00:31:59,600
She has popcorn kernels
and frozen corn.
723
00:31:59,667 --> 00:32:03,266
She's got cornbread waffle.
Brilliant gameplay.
724
00:32:03,266 --> 00:32:04,400
-It's definitely...
-[Caleb] Yeah.
725
00:32:04,467 --> 00:32:06,100
-...going to be corny.
-[Caleb laughs]
726
00:32:06,100 --> 00:32:10,567
-Ah! Corn!
-Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
727
00:32:10,567 --> 00:32:12,600
[Sarah] As soon as
my popcorn's done
728
00:32:12,667 --> 00:32:14,667
I start grabbing handfuls
of the popcorn
729
00:32:14,667 --> 00:32:17,266
to put in my heavy cream
so it can start absorbing
all that flavor.
730
00:32:17,266 --> 00:32:18,400
Easy!
731
00:32:18,467 --> 00:32:20,900
Because I want this to be
a kettle corn whipped cream
732
00:32:20,967 --> 00:32:22,900
I'm going to
add a little sugar.
733
00:32:22,967 --> 00:32:24,333
This is the sweet show.
734
00:32:24,333 --> 00:32:26,400
Now I'm going to
strain my popcorn
out of my cream
735
00:32:26,467 --> 00:32:28,166
and then I'm going to
start whipping that up.
736
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:36,200
Ooh! I like kettle corn.
737
00:32:36,266 --> 00:32:38,367
[Lasheeda] Time to check
my ice cream.
Coming down.
738
00:32:38,367 --> 00:32:40,200
Little legs are going!
739
00:32:40,266 --> 00:32:43,166
I run back
to check on my ice cream
740
00:32:43,166 --> 00:32:46,100
and, yeah, it had
a little surprise for me.
741
00:32:46,100 --> 00:32:47,867
Overspun. Damn it!
742
00:32:47,867 --> 00:32:49,467
I overspun my ice cream.
743
00:32:49,467 --> 00:32:51,767
Oh, look at that
ube ice cream. Wow.
744
00:32:51,767 --> 00:32:55,900
It's rock hard.
You can see the fat
is not the same.
745
00:32:55,967 --> 00:32:57,166
Oh, no.
746
00:32:57,166 --> 00:32:59,400
-Like frozen butter shards.
-[Michael] Oh, no.
747
00:32:59,467 --> 00:33:02,300
I got more base.
Don't you trip,
you got more base.
748
00:33:02,367 --> 00:33:05,000
I'm not going to panic
because I did not
749
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:07,467
put all of my base
into the machine.
750
00:33:07,467 --> 00:33:09,900
Something told me
not to spin it all.
751
00:33:09,967 --> 00:33:11,900
Lord, am I happy for that.
752
00:33:11,967 --> 00:33:13,400
I'm going in there
a second time.
753
00:33:13,467 --> 00:33:16,667
At this point,
I'm wasting time
for this ice cream.
754
00:33:16,667 --> 00:33:19,166
Lasheeda is respinning
her ice cream.
755
00:33:19,166 --> 00:33:20,467
This is the second attempt.
756
00:33:20,467 --> 00:33:22,767
[Lasheeda] Now it's time
to start these lava cakes.
757
00:33:22,767 --> 00:33:24,033
I need to get these in ASAP.
758
00:33:24,066 --> 00:33:28,467
I cracked a couple eggs,
I'm going to add some flour
759
00:33:28,467 --> 00:33:32,767
and I'm not adding
any sugar to this recipe
because I'm adding tons
760
00:33:32,767 --> 00:33:35,100
of that caramelized
sweet and condensed milk.
761
00:33:35,166 --> 00:33:39,600
Mix that very well
and then portion it
into the ramekins.
762
00:33:41,667 --> 00:33:44,367
Okay, cakes are in. All right.
763
00:33:45,367 --> 00:33:47,266
Better. Much better.
764
00:33:47,266 --> 00:33:49,300
The ice cream is looking good.
765
00:33:49,367 --> 00:33:51,400
I'm hoping
it's going to be enough.
766
00:33:51,467 --> 00:33:53,767
[Guy] Four minutes.
Four minutes to be
plated and finished.
767
00:33:55,166 --> 00:33:58,000
I check on the molten cake.
They're looking beautiful.
768
00:33:58,066 --> 00:34:02,700
I pull them out the oven,
now it's time for plating.
769
00:34:02,767 --> 00:34:05,367
I'm going to put my
sweet potato coulis
down on the plate,
770
00:34:05,367 --> 00:34:09,467
then I get a little quenelle
of the marshmallow fluff
771
00:34:09,467 --> 00:34:13,467
and I'm going to torch that
to give it that perfect
torchy element.
772
00:34:14,767 --> 00:34:16,367
Then, I put the sweet potato
ice cream
773
00:34:16,367 --> 00:34:18,667
in these mini
cast-iron skillets,
774
00:34:18,667 --> 00:34:21,500
then I get my chocolate
molten cakes on the plate,
775
00:34:21,567 --> 00:34:23,467
dust it with some
powdered sugar
776
00:34:23,467 --> 00:34:26,367
and then top the ice cream
with the sweet potato garnish.
777
00:34:26,367 --> 00:34:29,300
It's simple but it has some
good vibes in there, you know?
778
00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:30,400
[Guy] Three minutes!
779
00:34:30,467 --> 00:34:32,000
[Caleb] The corn muffins
are great.
780
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,567
There's not much color
so I'm going to grab a torch
781
00:34:33,567 --> 00:34:34,867
so I can brown the tops.
782
00:34:34,867 --> 00:34:36,367
I need a little bit
of caramelization
783
00:34:36,367 --> 00:34:37,600
to really
round out the flavors.
784
00:34:39,500 --> 00:34:41,700
I'm plating my ice cream
separate from the cobblers
785
00:34:41,767 --> 00:34:44,467
'cause I don't want
the heat from the cobbler
to melt the ice cream.
786
00:34:44,467 --> 00:34:45,600
[Guy] 60 seconds!
787
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:48,667
Let's see which one
of you guys look good.
788
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:52,000
I'm plating
these cornbread waffles.
789
00:34:53,867 --> 00:34:56,900
I'm going to pour that
blueberry syrup on top.
790
00:34:56,967 --> 00:34:58,667
I need a piping bag.
791
00:34:58,667 --> 00:35:02,667
Now that my corn cream is done
I put it in my piping bag
792
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:05,400
and I want to give them
this nice, beautiful rosette
on top.
793
00:35:05,467 --> 00:35:06,667
Breakfast in the skillet.
794
00:35:06,667 --> 00:35:08,100
Okay.
Yeah, I think that's good.
795
00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:09,767
Ah, my cakes aren't baking.
796
00:35:09,767 --> 00:35:13,266
You got 15 seconds!
Pull those cakes, Chef.
797
00:35:13,266 --> 00:35:16,100
[Lasheeda] I'm taking
my lava cakes out of the oven
798
00:35:16,166 --> 00:35:18,467
and it's not
where I need them to be.
799
00:35:18,467 --> 00:35:21,200
Lasheeda's cakes are not done.
800
00:35:21,266 --> 00:35:23,800
[Lasheeda] I had no choice
but to put the ice cream
on there.
801
00:35:23,867 --> 00:35:25,567
Sometimes
you got to improvise.
802
00:35:25,567 --> 00:35:28,467
I know it's going to melt,
but I can sell this.
803
00:35:28,467 --> 00:35:31,867
I'm going to call it
a sweet potato custard
804
00:35:31,867 --> 00:35:36,567
and then to finish it off
I have my lingonberry,
whiskey sauce.
805
00:35:36,567 --> 00:35:38,467
You got to get them
on that plate.
806
00:35:38,467 --> 00:35:43,667
Five, four, three, two, one.
807
00:35:43,667 --> 00:35:45,867
Stop working, chefs!
808
00:35:45,867 --> 00:35:47,867
-[applause]
-That was rough.
809
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:57,400
All right, judges, this is it,
game two of our dessert game.
810
00:35:57,467 --> 00:35:59,967
The chefs had to make
a signature dessert
811
00:35:59,967 --> 00:36:02,367
using one vegetable
they tossed for.
812
00:36:02,367 --> 00:36:05,767
The first chef,
Sarah, got corn.
Please tell us what you made.
813
00:36:05,767 --> 00:36:08,400
Great. So, let's start off
with breakfast.
814
00:36:08,467 --> 00:36:11,300
So, they are
cornbread waffles.
815
00:36:11,367 --> 00:36:14,100
I made a blueberry syrup
with a little bit of lemon
816
00:36:14,166 --> 00:36:17,266
and then I made
a kettle corn cream
817
00:36:17,266 --> 00:36:18,367
and it has
a little bit of corn
818
00:36:18,367 --> 00:36:20,967
in the cornbread waffle
itself.
819
00:36:20,967 --> 00:36:23,166
Sarah,
this is a delicious dish.
820
00:36:23,166 --> 00:36:25,100
I cannot believe
how much corn flavor
821
00:36:25,166 --> 00:36:29,266
and specifically popcorn
flavor you got into that.
822
00:36:29,266 --> 00:36:31,600
You took your whammy
ingredient and tripled down
on it,
823
00:36:31,667 --> 00:36:33,600
maybe quadrupled down on it.
824
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,400
There was frozen corn kernels,
popcorn, corn in the cream,
corn in the waffle mix,
825
00:36:37,467 --> 00:36:39,066
or [in Boston accent]
"waffle," depending on
where you're from.
826
00:36:39,066 --> 00:36:41,200
-[laughs]
-I think it tastes incredible.
827
00:36:41,266 --> 00:36:46,900
It's such a good breakfast
that it's less of a dessert.
828
00:36:48,266 --> 00:36:50,900
Up next, Chef Caleb.
You had corn, buddy. Tell us.
829
00:36:50,967 --> 00:36:52,333
My signature dish
830
00:36:52,333 --> 00:36:56,066
is a sweet corn
and berry cobbler
over a mixed berry compote.
831
00:36:56,066 --> 00:36:59,367
the ice cream itself
is a salted butter ice cream.
832
00:36:59,367 --> 00:37:02,667
I think it's delicious.
I love a hot, steamy
sort of cake
833
00:37:02,667 --> 00:37:04,500
with the cobbler underneath
834
00:37:04,567 --> 00:37:07,066
and then having the melty
ice cream on top of it,
it's delicious.
835
00:37:07,066 --> 00:37:10,000
This speaks ambition to me.
You made your own
ice cream.
836
00:37:10,066 --> 00:37:13,500
That's very risky,
to make ice cream,
but you managed to do it.
837
00:37:13,567 --> 00:37:16,567
Because this is so creative,
it definitely says
"signature."
838
00:37:16,567 --> 00:37:19,000
For me, the batter
is a little bit overworked.
839
00:37:19,066 --> 00:37:21,000
You developed a little bit
too much gluten in that
840
00:37:21,066 --> 00:37:22,867
-so it's a little tough.
-Thank you.
841
00:37:22,867 --> 00:37:24,367
All right, thank you
very much, judges.
842
00:37:24,367 --> 00:37:27,667
Up next,
Chef Jamal, sweet potato.
What did you make us?
843
00:37:27,667 --> 00:37:30,700
So, I made chocolate
molten lava cake
844
00:37:30,767 --> 00:37:34,000
with a sweet potato coulis,
sweet potato ice cream,
845
00:37:34,066 --> 00:37:36,767
garnished
with fresh sweet potato fries.
846
00:37:36,767 --> 00:37:39,567
There's also a little
toasted meringue on there.
847
00:37:39,567 --> 00:37:44,066
Chef Jamal
has nailed a molten cake.
848
00:37:44,066 --> 00:37:46,100
I know three-star chefs
who can't do that.
849
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:48,200
Nicely done, my friend.
850
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:52,467
This is like a tasting
of sweet potatoes dessert
and I think that's very smart
851
00:37:52,467 --> 00:37:55,066
because you've got all these
individual little components
852
00:37:55,066 --> 00:37:58,467
that you can enjoy separately,
but you can also eat them
together.
853
00:37:58,467 --> 00:37:59,834
Thank you.
854
00:37:59,834 --> 00:38:02,266
I appreciate that
you're giving me
three types of sweet potato,
855
00:38:02,266 --> 00:38:04,200
but I might like it more
if the ice cream
856
00:38:04,266 --> 00:38:06,400
-was just plopped on the top.
-Thank you.
857
00:38:06,467 --> 00:38:09,000
Not to be out done,
the one and only
Chef Lasheeda.
858
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,266
What do you have for them?
859
00:38:10,266 --> 00:38:15,100
My signature dish
is a dulce de leche
lava cake with ube
860
00:38:15,166 --> 00:38:16,867
and then to bring
some tartness in
861
00:38:16,867 --> 00:38:20,000
is a lingonberry,
whiskey sauce.
862
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,367
Wow.
The flavors
in this dish are sublime.
863
00:38:23,367 --> 00:38:26,300
You're lava cake did not
actually turn out, right?
864
00:38:26,367 --> 00:38:28,667
Well, I didn't have time
to turn it out.
865
00:38:28,667 --> 00:38:29,767
-[Rocco] Right.
-[laughs]
866
00:38:29,767 --> 00:38:32,400
I think you've
invented something new here
867
00:38:32,467 --> 00:38:36,000
that is sort of beyond
comprehension.
868
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,300
I love that you partnered
the very, very sweet
caramel sauce
869
00:38:40,367 --> 00:38:42,266
with the lingonberry sauce.
870
00:38:42,266 --> 00:38:46,266
I love the color
of this ube ice cream.
I thought it was brilliant.
871
00:38:46,266 --> 00:38:48,367
I think the dulce de leche
with the sweet potato,
872
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:49,500
brilliant flavor combination.
873
00:38:49,567 --> 00:38:52,667
For me, the batter
is a little underbaked.
874
00:38:52,667 --> 00:38:55,767
-Thank you.
-Chefs, awesome job.
875
00:38:55,767 --> 00:38:57,467
We're going to send you
back to your kitchens.
876
00:38:57,467 --> 00:38:59,967
We will call you back
when we have a decision.
Thank you. Excellent job.
877
00:38:59,967 --> 00:39:01,000
Thank you.
878
00:39:02,367 --> 00:39:03,634
Thank you.
879
00:39:03,634 --> 00:39:05,333
[Guy] Remember,
we have 20 points
available in gameplay,
880
00:39:05,367 --> 00:39:10,200
20 points available in taste
and 10 points for plating
for a possible of 50 points.
881
00:39:10,266 --> 00:39:14,300
The question is,
"Whose signature dessert
would you pay $20,000 for?"
882
00:39:18,700 --> 00:39:23,367
Let's take a look.
Sarah, 20 points
for gameplay. You get 15.
883
00:39:23,367 --> 00:39:28,567
20 in taste, 16.
Plating for an eight
for a total of 39
884
00:39:28,567 --> 00:39:31,667
and there you have a 77.
885
00:39:31,667 --> 00:39:38,367
Jamal, 18 in gameplay,
18 in taste,
886
00:39:38,367 --> 00:39:41,467
nine in plating. Big score!
887
00:39:41,467 --> 00:39:44,400
45, coming in at 83.
888
00:39:45,567 --> 00:39:47,367
That's monster.
889
00:39:47,367 --> 00:39:53,000
Caleb, you are going to need
a 45 to take the title.
890
00:39:53,066 --> 00:39:58,100
16 in gameplay, 15 in taste,
eight in plating for a 39.
891
00:39:58,166 --> 00:40:02,166
Doesn't retain his title
at 78.
892
00:40:02,166 --> 00:40:05,367
Lasheeda, as Chef Rocco said,
you probably invented
something new
893
00:40:05,367 --> 00:40:08,000
and the judges were impressed.
Let's take a look.
894
00:40:08,066 --> 00:40:13,767
16 in gameplay, 16 in taste,
eight in plating for a 40.
895
00:40:13,767 --> 00:40:16,300
Wow, nice score of a 77.
896
00:40:16,367 --> 00:40:18,000
So, there you have it
ladies and gentlemen,
897
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,266
our winner,
Chef Jamal with an 83.
898
00:40:20,266 --> 00:40:21,600
[all applauding]
899
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,367
Sarah, Caleb and Lasheeda,
great job, wonderful
to have you.
900
00:40:26,367 --> 00:40:27,767
-Thank you very much.
-Thank you.
901
00:40:27,767 --> 00:40:29,166
[applauding]
902
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:31,867
I truly wanted to win,
but Chef Jamal,
903
00:40:31,867 --> 00:40:34,600
he deserves it
with a score of 83.
904
00:40:34,667 --> 00:40:37,400
Coming on Guy's Grocery Games
was a dream come true
905
00:40:37,467 --> 00:40:39,367
and now, when I go home
and I watch it,
906
00:40:39,367 --> 00:40:40,900
I'm still going to
scream at the TV
907
00:40:40,967 --> 00:40:42,567
and tell them
exactly what to do
908
00:40:42,567 --> 00:40:45,300
even though apparently
I didn't know either. [laughs]
909
00:40:50,567 --> 00:40:52,200
-So, are you ready
to win some cash?
-Yes.
910
00:40:52,266 --> 00:40:55,100
All right.
Flavortown Market
offers its customers
911
00:40:55,100 --> 00:40:58,500
two fantastic choices
about how to win
up to $20,000.
912
00:40:58,567 --> 00:41:01,200
Now, the first one
we like to call "the
recipe spree."
913
00:41:01,266 --> 00:41:03,767
Every ingredient you grab,
you get $2,000.
914
00:41:03,767 --> 00:41:07,066
Or we can skip
the running around part
915
00:41:07,066 --> 00:41:10,166
and there is a mystery check
right behind that door.
916
00:41:10,166 --> 00:41:12,166
-Go ahead and look
over your shoulder.
-Oh, Lord.
917
00:41:12,166 --> 00:41:16,667
[Guy] Anywhere
from $8,000 to $20,000.
918
00:41:16,667 --> 00:41:22,200
-Check behind the door
or run around the store.
-Well...
919
00:41:26,667 --> 00:41:28,900
I hope you guys are generous.
I want the check.
920
00:41:28,967 --> 00:41:30,100
-Yay!
-You chose the check!
921
00:41:30,166 --> 00:41:31,467
-[Damaris] Okay.
-Yeah.
922
00:41:31,467 --> 00:41:32,767
Show us that check!
923
00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:40,100
-15-5! That's great!
-$15,500! Congratulations,
my friend!
924
00:41:40,100 --> 00:41:45,266
-[all applauding]
-[Jamal] I'm coming home
with a smile and $15,500.
925
00:41:45,266 --> 00:41:50,600
GGG desserts!
Bup, bup, bup!
Virgin Island to the world!
926
00:41:50,667 --> 00:41:51,667
And that's what happens
927
00:41:51,667 --> 00:41:53,166
when we have
the dessert games.
928
00:41:53,166 --> 00:41:54,967
Meet the champ,
the guy that took them down!
929
00:41:54,967 --> 00:41:58,000
-[cheering] Great job!
-And we'll see you next time
on Guy's Grocery Games, adiós!
