1
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:01,700
I'm Bobby Flay.
2
00:00:01,700 --> 00:00:03,767
The holidays are here
and it's time for cheer.
3
00:00:03,767 --> 00:00:05,567
Well, not for me.
4
00:00:05,567 --> 00:00:07,367
Happy holidays!
5
00:00:07,367 --> 00:00:09,567
[Bobby] All of my closest
Food Network friends
6
00:00:09,567 --> 00:00:11,000
are teaming up
to take me down.
7
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,367
Are you ready to get
your jingle bell rung hard?
8
00:00:13,367 --> 00:00:14,867
-Fire it up.
-[metal clanking]
9
00:00:14,867 --> 00:00:17,433
This battle
is gonna shake down
in three rounds.
10
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:18,800
Round one and two,
11
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,567
they must go
through each other.
12
00:00:20,567 --> 00:00:22,400
I have waited for this moment.
13
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,767
You're in my head.
14
00:00:23,767 --> 00:00:25,500
[Bobby] Round three,
the winner gets me.
15
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,000
-Let's go, Flay.
-[laughs]
16
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,567
[Bobby] In the spirit
of the holidays,
17
00:00:29,567 --> 00:00:31,700
we're teaming up
for a culinary throwdown.
18
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:33,767
-Go. Go.
-I'm going.
19
00:00:33,767 --> 00:00:35,867
-It's like three rounds
of sibling rivalry.
-Get out of here.
20
00:00:35,867 --> 00:00:37,266
The competition is tougher.
21
00:00:37,266 --> 00:00:38,367
Ah, you guys smell it?
22
00:00:38,367 --> 00:00:39,867
[Bobby]
The rounds are bigger...
23
00:00:39,867 --> 00:00:41,100
[screaming]
24
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:42,100
[Bobby]
...and the surprises...
25
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:43,567
Ho-ho-ho.
26
00:00:43,567 --> 00:00:44,700
[Bobby] ...just
keep on coming.
27
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:46,166
-Bottom line...
- Oh.
28
00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:47,900
[Bobby] ...everyone's out
to ruin my holiday.
29
00:00:47,900 --> 00:00:49,767
Come on in, ladies.
30
00:00:49,767 --> 00:00:51,233
Oh, wow.
31
00:00:52,266 --> 00:00:53,266
[laughs]
32
00:00:53,266 --> 00:00:55,934
[audience cheering
and applauding]
33
00:01:00,166 --> 00:01:02,100
All right, everybody.
Time to rise and shine
34
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:04,600
because the holidays
are right around the corner.
35
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,500
And let's give it up
for my favorite person
36
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:09,300
to spend the holidays with,
my daughter, Sophie Flay.
37
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,467
[audience cheering
and applauding]
38
00:01:11,467 --> 00:01:13,266
Happy holidays, Dad.
39
00:01:13,266 --> 00:01:15,600
Cheers to the holidays
and cheers to my win tonight.
40
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,667
-Oh, is that for me?
-[audience cheering
and applauding]
41
00:01:17,667 --> 00:01:19,467
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
42
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,367
[Christmas music playing]
43
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:24,200
How are you?
44
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,667
Oh, my God,
I'm so excited to be here.
45
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:26,900
Excited to beat you.
46
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:28,000
Taking a little time off
47
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,567
from your journalist life?
48
00:01:29,567 --> 00:01:31,266
Yeah, to spend
the holidays with you.
49
00:01:31,266 --> 00:01:32,300
Nice. Very nice.
50
00:01:32,300 --> 00:01:33,567
And I thought it'd be fun
to challenge you
51
00:01:33,567 --> 00:01:34,967
to one of your favorite meals,
52
00:01:34,967 --> 00:01:36,433
holiday brunch.
53
00:01:37,367 --> 00:01:39,000
[Bobby] When I think
of brunch, you're actually
54
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,667
the first person I think of...
55
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:42,800
-I love that.
-...'cause you're
a Benedict girl.
56
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,200
[Sophie] Through and through.
57
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,500
You did an eggs Benedict
for me on Christmas one year
58
00:01:46,500 --> 00:01:47,800
with shaved truffles on top.
59
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,266
-Oh, yeah.
-[Sophie] That was special.
60
00:01:49,266 --> 00:01:51,200
But you know what I liked
that we did
61
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,600
that I think
is a new tradition,
62
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,467
is the peppermintini.
63
00:01:54,467 --> 00:01:55,467
[audience exclaiming]
64
00:01:55,467 --> 00:01:56,800
I make the honey baked ham
65
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,467
and you make
peppermint martinis,
66
00:01:58,467 --> 00:01:59,767
so, like, that's
your contribution. [laughs]
67
00:01:59,767 --> 00:02:01,166
We're a good team in that way.
68
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:02,667
Yeah, yeah.
69
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:04,000
All right.
What are we doing tonight?
70
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,767
-You got some chefs?
-[Sophie] Yes.
71
00:02:05,767 --> 00:02:08,000
Our first contender
is a regular co-host.
72
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,367
He's never cooked
in this kitchen,
73
00:02:09,367 --> 00:02:11,200
but he's no stranger
to competition.
74
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,867
Here to toast
to his upcoming victory,
Eddie Jackson.
75
00:02:13,867 --> 00:02:16,667
-[Bobby] Yeah.
-Ho-ho-ho, Bobby.
76
00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:18,367
-Woo!
-[Bobby laughs]
77
00:02:18,367 --> 00:02:20,667
[audience cheering
and applauding]
78
00:02:20,667 --> 00:02:23,000
Eddie, Eddie.
79
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,166
There's only room for one star
on top of the tree.
80
00:02:26,667 --> 00:02:28,500
-That's me.
-[laughter]
81
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:30,000
Yes.
82
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Brunch just got
a whole lot sweeter
83
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,500
with our next contender.
84
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:34,900
Actually, Dad, last season,
85
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:36,367
you beat him at his own game.
86
00:02:36,367 --> 00:02:37,767
-Hmm.
-[Sophie] And now, he's coming
87
00:02:37,767 --> 00:02:39,166
to beat you at yours.
88
00:02:39,166 --> 00:02:41,166
-It's Chef Zac Young.
-Oh, yeah.
89
00:02:41,166 --> 00:02:43,000
[audience cheering]
90
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,333
Look at his onesie.
91
00:02:46,767 --> 00:02:47,734
[laughs]
92
00:02:50,367 --> 00:02:51,367
Five o'clock somewhere.
93
00:02:51,367 --> 00:02:52,333
-[laughs]
-[Sophie] Yes.
94
00:02:54,367 --> 00:02:55,867
Good evening, guys.
95
00:02:55,867 --> 00:02:58,000
Eddie, nice to see you
on this side of the kitchen.
96
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,166
I'm actually doing it.
97
00:02:59,166 --> 00:03:00,900
-Zac, welcome back.
-Thank you.
98
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,100
You know, Zac,
last year didn't go as well
99
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:05,100
as you thought it might go.
100
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:06,567
Damaris beat me.
101
00:03:06,567 --> 00:03:07,767
-Not you.
-[Bobby] Doesn't matter.
102
00:03:07,767 --> 00:03:09,567
I was on the winning team.
103
00:03:09,567 --> 00:03:10,767
What's your goal tonight?
104
00:03:10,767 --> 00:03:12,266
Redemption.
105
00:03:12,266 --> 00:03:14,533
Well, but you gotta go
through me first.
106
00:03:15,166 --> 00:03:16,767
[Zac] I love Eddie.
107
00:03:16,767 --> 00:03:18,967
He is like a walking hug,
108
00:03:18,967 --> 00:03:21,867
but none of that matters
because this is competition.
109
00:03:21,867 --> 00:03:23,467
Here's the way
it's gonna work.
110
00:03:23,467 --> 00:03:25,100
I'm gonna put 20 minutes
on the clock.
111
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,066
I'm gonna give you
something to cook
112
00:03:27,066 --> 00:03:29,834
and you must make it
the star of your dish.
113
00:03:30,367 --> 00:03:31,500
Let's see what we got.
114
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:33,834
-[Christmas music playing]
-[audience exclaiming]
115
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:35,567
[Zac] Oh, no.
116
00:03:35,567 --> 00:03:37,367
I don't like
this game anymore.
117
00:03:37,367 --> 00:03:39,467
-[chuckles]
-Since it is brunch,
118
00:03:39,467 --> 00:03:41,066
I brought out some egg,
119
00:03:41,066 --> 00:03:44,767
but under the egg, coquito.
120
00:03:44,767 --> 00:03:46,400
[audience exclaiming]
121
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,200
[cheering and applauding]
122
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,900
The best way to describe this
is a Latin-style eggnog.
123
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:53,166
[Zac] Coquito is sweet.
124
00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:55,500
In a pure dessert challenge,
fantastic.
125
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:56,867
But for brunch...
126
00:03:59,367 --> 00:04:00,967
[Bobby] Eddie, you just keep
shaking your head, yes.
127
00:04:00,967 --> 00:04:03,600
-[Eddie] Well,
I wanna drink it.
-[laughter]
128
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Okay, guys,
20 minutes on the clock.
129
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,500
You know what to do.
130
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:08,300
Go coconuts for the coquito.
131
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:10,166
-[bell rings]
-[cheering]
132
00:04:14,767 --> 00:04:16,500
[Bobby] Okay, coquito,
this is definitely
133
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,500
a holiday brunch drink,
but with Latin flavors.
134
00:04:19,500 --> 00:04:20,600
-Right.
-It's coconut milk.
135
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,100
It's rum, cinnamon.
136
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:23,967
So what would you do
with this?
137
00:04:23,967 --> 00:04:25,467
I would make some sort
of bread pudding,
138
00:04:25,467 --> 00:04:28,066
even like a coquito
donut maybe.
139
00:04:28,066 --> 00:04:29,500
Maybe like a French toast?
140
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:30,900
That sounds really good.
141
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:32,867
-You got the flour?
-[Zac] Yup.
142
00:04:32,867 --> 00:04:35,166
-We're both using flour.
-[Eddie] Oh. Uh-oh.
143
00:04:35,166 --> 00:04:37,100
That's crazy.
144
00:04:37,100 --> 00:04:39,667
Honestly, there's nothing
this elf loves
145
00:04:39,667 --> 00:04:41,166
more than holiday brunch.
146
00:04:41,166 --> 00:04:43,500
Also, you know
who invented brunch?
147
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,567
The gays. You're welcome.
148
00:04:46,567 --> 00:04:47,867
Zac, what are you making?
149
00:04:47,867 --> 00:04:50,667
I'm gonna do like a coquito
150
00:04:50,667 --> 00:04:53,000
croissant donut bite,
151
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,600
but, like, cro-quito.
152
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,100
-A cro-quito.
-Inventive.
153
00:04:57,100 --> 00:04:58,367
[Zac] I start working
on my dough.
154
00:04:58,367 --> 00:05:01,100
I cut butter really thin.
155
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:05,000
This is kind of my hack
for biscuits or pie crusts
156
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,100
for the flaky, flaky layers.
157
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,467
I add buttermilk,
coquito, and rum.
158
00:05:09,467 --> 00:05:10,900
[Sophie] This is kind
of Zac's wheelhouse.
159
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:13,000
-He's known for his baking.
-Yes, for sure.
160
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,900
[cheering and applauding]
161
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,400
[Zac] I am known
for over-the-top,
162
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,367
fun, playful desserts
163
00:05:20,367 --> 00:05:22,166
with some serious
French technique.
164
00:05:22,166 --> 00:05:25,000
And I am the president
and sprinkle master
165
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800
of PieCaken Bakeshop.
166
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,100
You might know me from
Halloween Baking Championship,
167
00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:33,166
Chopped,
Worst Cooks in America,
168
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:36,834
and, of course, I was here
last holiday season.
169
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,166
The winner is Team Bobby.
170
00:05:40,166 --> 00:05:41,567
-[laughs]
-Yay!
171
00:05:41,567 --> 00:05:43,767
We lost to Bobby in baking.
172
00:05:43,767 --> 00:05:44,800
What?
173
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,266
This is a personal vendetta
174
00:05:46,266 --> 00:05:48,166
and I am not playing it safe.
175
00:05:50,567 --> 00:05:52,867
[Eddie] Do we have any rum
in the house?
176
00:05:52,867 --> 00:05:54,100
Yeah, I got it, babe.
177
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:56,166
You got the rum? Damn!
178
00:05:56,166 --> 00:05:58,467
If I'm hosting
a holiday brunch,
179
00:05:58,467 --> 00:06:01,066
first things first,
libations have to be flown,
180
00:06:01,066 --> 00:06:02,667
so I'm gonna play
with those flavors
181
00:06:02,667 --> 00:06:04,600
inside of that coquito.
182
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,667
Eddie, what are you making?
183
00:06:05,667 --> 00:06:07,500
I am making a waffle
184
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:08,900
with a coquito cream.
185
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:10,600
I love that.
186
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,567
[Eddie] I wanna get some air
into my eggs
187
00:06:12,567 --> 00:06:14,166
and that's gonna keep
the waffles really,
188
00:06:14,166 --> 00:06:15,867
really light and fluffy.
189
00:06:15,867 --> 00:06:17,700
After that,
I add in the coquito,
190
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,200
the flour,
and I'm ready to roll.
191
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,266
Last time I was here,
Eddie and I were co-hosts,
192
00:06:22,266 --> 00:06:23,600
but this is
his first time competing.
193
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,433
Yeah. He's having a good time.
194
00:06:27,767 --> 00:06:29,166
[Eddie]
I'm a seasoned competitor.
195
00:06:29,166 --> 00:06:30,767
There's no fear in my blood.
196
00:06:30,767 --> 00:06:32,467
I was a professional
football player
197
00:06:32,467 --> 00:06:34,600
and then the winner
of Food Network Star.
198
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,100
[cheering and applauding]
199
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:38,867
[Eddie] After that, let's see,
I've been featured
200
00:06:38,867 --> 00:06:41,767
on pretty much every show
on Food Network.
201
00:06:41,767 --> 00:06:43,967
Team Eddie, let's do this!
202
00:06:45,367 --> 00:06:48,567
I've been a co-host
on Beat Bobby Flay
over 20 times.
203
00:06:48,567 --> 00:06:51,166
And now,
I'm getting in the kitchen
ready to compete.
204
00:06:51,166 --> 00:06:52,800
Let's go.
205
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,867
Bobby, you're getting
in Santa's sack tonight.
206
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:57,567
All right. I'm gonna go
check in with them.
207
00:06:57,567 --> 00:06:59,266
All right.
Take some journalistic notes.
208
00:06:59,266 --> 00:07:00,867
[laughs]
209
00:07:00,867 --> 00:07:02,567
Just under 15 minutes.
210
00:07:02,567 --> 00:07:04,266
[cheering and applauding]
211
00:07:04,266 --> 00:07:05,500
Eddie, what's going on?
212
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,567
How does it feel to be
on this side of the kitchen?
213
00:07:07,567 --> 00:07:08,767
-You know what, I like it.
-Yeah.
214
00:07:08,767 --> 00:07:09,800
-You look good.
-I kinda like it.
215
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,900
What are we making over here?
216
00:07:10,900 --> 00:07:13,400
So I'm gonna do
a coquito waffle
217
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,467
with a coquito cream.
218
00:07:14,467 --> 00:07:16,000
It's gonna be rum flavor
everywhere.
219
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,166
Keep adding.
Can you make it through Zac?
220
00:07:18,166 --> 00:07:19,567
Who? What?
221
00:07:19,567 --> 00:07:20,600
[laughter]
222
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,700
-Absolutely.
-Wow.
223
00:07:22,700 --> 00:07:24,567
Zac, what's going on
over here?
224
00:07:24,567 --> 00:07:27,266
Uh, so we're making, like,
a laminated biscuit dough
225
00:07:27,266 --> 00:07:28,867
-that we're gonna fry...
-[Sophie] I love it.
226
00:07:28,867 --> 00:07:30,967
[Zac] ...with
a coquito cream sauce.
227
00:07:30,967 --> 00:07:32,600
And then maybe
a coquito caramel.
228
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,400
I just wanna be coquito,
coquito, co...
229
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,834
Gosh, that's hard to say.
230
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,467
[Sophie] And what about you?
231
00:07:38,467 --> 00:07:40,367
Do you feel like
you can make it through Eddie?
232
00:07:40,367 --> 00:07:42,367
I love him,
but doesn't mean
233
00:07:42,367 --> 00:07:43,667
that I won't take him down.
234
00:07:43,667 --> 00:07:45,767
-[audience] Oh.
-[Sophie] There you go.
235
00:07:45,767 --> 00:07:47,300
All right.
Good luck, you guys.
236
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:48,867
[Zac]
Did I do enough folds?
237
00:07:48,867 --> 00:07:50,200
-We'll do one more.
-[Sophie] Okay.
238
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:51,800
They're feeling pretty strong,
I have to say.
239
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,000
Eddie's making waffles.
240
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,100
[Bobby] Okay,
that sounds good.
241
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,367
[Sophie] Zac is using coquito
242
00:07:55,367 --> 00:07:57,000
in almost everything.
243
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,266
You know what coquito means?
244
00:07:58,266 --> 00:08:00,100
-Little coconut.
-[clicks tongue]
245
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:01,066
[clicks tongue]
246
00:08:01,066 --> 00:08:02,066
Look at you.
247
00:08:02,567 --> 00:08:03,934
Just over 10 minutes.
248
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,867
He's got rum
in the raspberries.
249
00:08:06,867 --> 00:08:07,800
Okay.
250
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:08,700
I love raspberries
251
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,166
because they have
a beautiful tartness
252
00:08:10,166 --> 00:08:11,200
that I think is gonna go well
253
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,367
with the other
sweet components on my plate.
254
00:08:13,367 --> 00:08:14,533
More?
255
00:08:15,166 --> 00:08:16,700
Yeah. A little bit more.
256
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:17,667
[audience cheering]
257
00:08:17,667 --> 00:08:18,934
Strong.
258
00:08:20,266 --> 00:08:22,266
Now, I'm gonna start
putting the biscuits
259
00:08:22,266 --> 00:08:25,700
into the fryer,
and then I start my caramel.
260
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:27,367
I put sugar in the pan,
261
00:08:27,367 --> 00:08:29,300
add a little bit
of lemon juice,
262
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,567
and let it get dark,
dark brown.
263
00:08:31,567 --> 00:08:33,066
-Hello, Zac.
-Hey, buddy.
264
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,500
[Bobby]
Are you making a caramel?
265
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:36,967
-[Zac] I am.
-[Bobby] Oh.
266
00:08:36,967 --> 00:08:38,667
A coquito caramel.
267
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:41,166
-[Zac] Coquito-mel.
-[Bobby] Looks really good.
268
00:08:41,166 --> 00:08:43,700
I love the cinnamon
and the rum smells
in this place.
269
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:44,767
Woo!
270
00:08:44,767 --> 00:08:45,900
What's happening, Ed?
271
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:48,100
I'm just about
to make my cream.
272
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,667
Whipped cream is a perfect
pairing with waffles.
273
00:08:50,667 --> 00:08:53,100
And why not add
a little bit of coquito?
274
00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:54,467
More coquito?
275
00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:56,100
The more coquito, the better.
276
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:58,266
Coquito is in the building.
277
00:08:58,266 --> 00:08:59,367
Mm!
278
00:08:59,367 --> 00:09:00,567
[cheering and applauding]
279
00:09:00,567 --> 00:09:03,000
[Bobby] Eddie is making
a coquito whipped cream.
280
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,600
-That looks good.
-[Bobby] I know.
281
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,000
You're kind of known
for a bourbon whipped cream
at brunch.
282
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,333
-Yes.
-That's your thing.
283
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,367
I gotta get the batter
into the waffle maker.
284
00:09:13,367 --> 00:09:14,767
Eddie's putting his waffles in
285
00:09:14,767 --> 00:09:16,266
with, like, less than
five minutes to go.
286
00:09:16,266 --> 00:09:18,133
It's gonna be
very tight on time.
287
00:09:18,567 --> 00:09:20,166
Come on, baby. Come on.
288
00:09:20,867 --> 00:09:22,100
You have the powdered sugar?
289
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:23,200
Everything I need you got.
290
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,800
[laughter]
291
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,066
At this point, I don't need
to run to the pantry anymore.
292
00:09:27,066 --> 00:09:28,700
I'm just going over
to Zac's station
293
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:29,667
and get what I need.
294
00:09:29,667 --> 00:09:32,500
Brunch is a communal
experience, you know?
295
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:33,934
[Eddie] You sure about that?
296
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,934
[laughing]
297
00:09:38,500 --> 00:09:40,000
Where's the coquito?
298
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
-Oh, I took it. I'm sorry.
-[Zac] What?
299
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,800
-[Eddie] I took it. I'm sorry.
-There's two bottles.
300
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,667
I feel like Eddie's
just trying to sabotage me
301
00:09:45,667 --> 00:09:46,700
at this point.
302
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:48,166
Thievery.
303
00:09:49,767 --> 00:09:51,266
[Bobby] Just under
three minutes, guys.
304
00:09:51,266 --> 00:09:52,800
[audience cheering]
305
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,500
[Eddie] I'm waiting
for my waffles to get done.
306
00:09:54,500 --> 00:09:56,500
That is the main component
to my dish.
307
00:09:56,500 --> 00:10:00,000
I wanna quadruple down
on the coquito flavor.
308
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,900
So I make
the coquito cream sauce.
309
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:03,166
A little bit of rum,
a little bit of cinnamon.
310
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:05,000
Oh, only two sauces?
311
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,066
Double your sauce,
double your fun.
312
00:10:07,066 --> 00:10:08,500
[laughter]
313
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:10,400
[Zac] I chuck my dough
in the fryer.
314
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,967
Oh, yes. Their layers
are pulling apart.
315
00:10:12,967 --> 00:10:15,767
I'm so happy.
But there is a lot of sweet
going on,
316
00:10:15,767 --> 00:10:18,500
so I actually sprinkle
a little bit of salt.
317
00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:20,867
Zac has a lot of sweetness
in his dish,
318
00:10:20,867 --> 00:10:22,667
but Eddie
has those raspberries
319
00:10:22,667 --> 00:10:24,467
-to kind of balance it out.
-[Bobby] Yeah.
320
00:10:24,467 --> 00:10:26,367
[Sophie] One minute
and 30 seconds.
321
00:10:26,367 --> 00:10:27,667
[cheering and applauding]
322
00:10:27,667 --> 00:10:29,767
So no time to spare.
323
00:10:29,767 --> 00:10:31,300
My waffles come out.
324
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:34,100
-Oh, Eddie's building it.
-He knows.
325
00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,033
And it comes out perfect.
326
00:10:36,500 --> 00:10:38,967
Stack 'em, spread
the macerated raspberries
327
00:10:38,967 --> 00:10:41,967
around the plate and then top
with the coquito cream.
328
00:10:41,967 --> 00:10:43,634
Twenty seconds.
329
00:10:44,767 --> 00:10:46,367
[Zac] I put the caramel
in one pot,
330
00:10:46,367 --> 00:10:49,066
I put the coquito cream
in another.
331
00:10:49,066 --> 00:10:51,800
Throw my coquit-nuts
onto the plate.
332
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,467
[all] ...six, five, four,
333
00:10:54,467 --> 00:10:56,867
three, two, one.
334
00:10:56,867 --> 00:11:00,233
[cheering and applauding]
335
00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:04,700
I am thrilled with my dish.
336
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:06,200
It is a little sweet,
337
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,500
but coquito
is a little sweet, so...
338
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:11,300
Looking down at my plate,
it looks amazing,
339
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:14,400
but I know
Zac is a pastry chef.
340
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,667
So we'll see.
341
00:11:15,667 --> 00:11:17,467
[audience cheering]
342
00:11:22,467 --> 00:11:24,667
So Eddie and Zac,
holiday brunch
343
00:11:24,667 --> 00:11:27,000
is a pretty big deal
in the Flay household,
344
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,166
but I'm ready for someone
to take the crown
off his head,
345
00:11:29,166 --> 00:11:31,567
and I'm hoping
one of you can do it.
346
00:11:31,567 --> 00:11:33,200
Chef Zac, what'd you make?
347
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,266
I made coquit-nuts, [chuckles]
348
00:11:36,266 --> 00:11:39,467
which are coquito-infused
croissant donut bites
349
00:11:39,467 --> 00:11:43,533
with a coquito caramel
and a coquito cream sauce.
350
00:11:45,166 --> 00:11:47,166
You definitely made coquito
the star.
351
00:11:47,166 --> 00:11:51,100
I love the layers and I love
the crispiness on the outside.
352
00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:52,600
They're also very flaky,
which is super nice.
353
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,567
There's a lot
of sweetness going on,
354
00:11:54,567 --> 00:11:56,166
but I love
that you did two sauces.
355
00:11:56,166 --> 00:11:57,767
The cream one
has a lot of rum,
356
00:11:57,767 --> 00:11:59,567
but the coquito
really comes forward.
357
00:11:59,567 --> 00:12:01,867
I think I'm tasting
some lemon in this one.
358
00:12:01,867 --> 00:12:03,166
It makes it
maybe a little bitter.
359
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:05,767
Chef Eddie, what did you do
with the coquito?
360
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:07,567
Uh, I made a coquito waffle
361
00:12:07,567 --> 00:12:09,867
with a coquito cream
362
00:12:09,867 --> 00:12:12,634
and macerated rum raspberries.
363
00:12:14,967 --> 00:12:17,166
I think that
the flavors really balanced
each other out,
364
00:12:17,166 --> 00:12:19,900
the coquito
in the whipped cream,
365
00:12:19,900 --> 00:12:22,400
the waffle,
and then that raspberry.
366
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,700
And we saw that you put a lot
of rum in the raspberries,
367
00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:26,266
but I think it worked out
really well for me.
368
00:12:26,266 --> 00:12:27,367
For you.
369
00:12:27,367 --> 00:12:28,867
[laughter]
370
00:12:28,867 --> 00:12:31,000
The waffle to me
is a little heavy
371
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,767
and I wish I was tasting
a little bit more
of the coquito.
372
00:12:33,767 --> 00:12:35,000
Thank you.
373
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,066
Now, I have a very important
decision to make.
374
00:12:37,066 --> 00:12:38,467
Do you want some more rum?
375
00:12:38,467 --> 00:12:40,166
[laughter]
376
00:12:40,166 --> 00:12:42,867
The chef moving on
to round two is...
377
00:12:45,767 --> 00:12:47,066
Chef Zac.
378
00:12:47,066 --> 00:12:48,667
[groans]
379
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,767
-Go hang out with Sophie.
-[groans]
380
00:12:52,767 --> 00:12:55,266
Can I get a mimosa, please?
381
00:12:55,266 --> 00:12:57,567
Well, Zac, you really made
the coquito the star,
382
00:12:57,567 --> 00:12:58,467
and that's why you won.
383
00:12:58,467 --> 00:13:00,300
-Thank you.
-But it's not over yet.
384
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:02,166
We're gonna need you
to head back to your station.
385
00:13:02,166 --> 00:13:03,967
And, Dad,
you gotta come over here.
386
00:13:03,967 --> 00:13:05,467
Can't we just skip
to the good part?
387
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:06,934
[laughter]
388
00:13:07,667 --> 00:13:09,400
Well, Dad,
we have another friend
389
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,700
ready to slay you
at holiday brunch.
390
00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:15,000
Here to toast to finally
beating you tonight,
391
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,400
Chef Maneet Chauhan.
392
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,266
-Yeah.
-[cheering and applauding]
393
00:13:18,266 --> 00:13:21,000
-Hi.
-[laughter]
394
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,200
Bobby, this holiday brunch,
395
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,000
I am going to be serving
some egg on your face.
396
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,567
[laughter]
397
00:13:29,567 --> 00:13:32,567
[Zac] Maneet is one
of my favorite people
in the world,
398
00:13:32,567 --> 00:13:34,567
yet I have no problem
trying to beat her.
399
00:13:34,567 --> 00:13:35,734
Small glass.
400
00:13:38,367 --> 00:13:39,700
Hello, Maneet.
401
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:41,367
-Hello.
-[Bobby] Welcome back.
402
00:13:41,367 --> 00:13:42,900
I feel like
it was just yesterday
403
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:44,266
that you were here
in the kitchen
404
00:13:44,266 --> 00:13:45,400
competing for the holidays.
405
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,567
Yeah. I think it was,
uh, completely rigged.
406
00:13:48,567 --> 00:13:50,900
-Oh, yeah.
-[laughter]
407
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:52,266
Yes, I hear that all the time
408
00:13:52,266 --> 00:13:53,667
from the people
that don't win.
409
00:13:53,667 --> 00:13:54,867
[exhales]
410
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:57,166
Don't talk about me
like I'm not in the room.
411
00:13:58,066 --> 00:14:00,266
Don't cry
after I beat you, okay?
412
00:14:00,266 --> 00:14:01,700
I always cry when I win.
413
00:14:01,700 --> 00:14:03,166
-[Eddie] Oh.
-Oh. Wow.
414
00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:04,867
-[Bobby] Wow.
-Fierce.
415
00:14:04,867 --> 00:14:06,667
Okay. So just
to remind you, Maneet,
416
00:14:06,667 --> 00:14:07,967
I'm gonna put 20 minutes
on the clock.
417
00:14:07,967 --> 00:14:09,500
I'm gonna give you
an ingredient of my choice
418
00:14:09,500 --> 00:14:11,967
and you must make
that ingredient the star
of your dish.
419
00:14:11,967 --> 00:14:13,700
How big of a dish
are we using?
420
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:15,467
Well, I mean, hey, listen,
421
00:14:15,467 --> 00:14:18,834
since it is all
about holiday brunch...
422
00:14:23,066 --> 00:14:25,066
[audience exclaiming]
423
00:14:25,066 --> 00:14:27,166
-Is that a gigantic bagel?
-Yes. [laughs]
424
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:29,467
[Bobby] Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.
425
00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:31,567
-I'm only just beginning.
-Okay.
426
00:14:31,567 --> 00:14:33,433
The ingredient is...
427
00:14:34,867 --> 00:14:36,367
hot-smoked salmon.
428
00:14:36,367 --> 00:14:38,133
-Ooh, yes!
-[Zac] Oh.
429
00:14:39,667 --> 00:14:40,800
Y'all went through all of that
430
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,100
just to give us
hot-smoked salmon?
431
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:44,300
[laughter]
432
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:45,767
You get it,
the salmon on the bagel?
433
00:14:45,767 --> 00:14:47,367
Actually, no, I didn't.
434
00:14:47,367 --> 00:14:49,467
-[Bobby] Okay.
-[laughter]
435
00:14:49,467 --> 00:14:51,867
Smoked salmon,
perfect brunch dish.
436
00:14:51,867 --> 00:14:54,500
Bobby thinks I'm all sweet,
437
00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:58,100
but I have some serious
savory tricks up my sleeve.
438
00:14:58,100 --> 00:14:59,967
All right, guys,
20 minutes on the clock.
439
00:14:59,967 --> 00:15:01,300
Do not get smoked.
440
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:02,767
Make salmon the star.
441
00:15:02,767 --> 00:15:04,634
-[bell dings]
-[cheering and applauding]
442
00:15:07,467 --> 00:15:08,767
[Christmas music playing]
443
00:15:09,967 --> 00:15:11,166
[Sophie]
That's a whole lot of salmon.
444
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:12,667
-Whole lot of salmon.
-Hot-smoked salmon.
445
00:15:12,667 --> 00:15:15,467
Usually when you get
smoked salmon on a bagel,
446
00:15:15,467 --> 00:15:16,400
it's cold-smoked.
447
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,967
It's cured and then smoked.
448
00:15:17,967 --> 00:15:19,700
This is smoked, but with heat.
449
00:15:19,700 --> 00:15:21,867
So it's cooked
all the way through.
It's meatier.
450
00:15:21,867 --> 00:15:23,300
But it's also very salty.
451
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:26,100
I mean, I would've loved
to see a smoked salmon
Benedict, personally.
452
00:15:26,100 --> 00:15:27,266
[Bobby]
You could definitely do that.
453
00:15:27,266 --> 00:15:29,200
You can make
a hot-smoked salmon omelet,
454
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,200
a version of a crab cake,
but with salmon.
455
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,367
You could put it in a dip.
456
00:15:32,367 --> 00:15:34,266
Just don't plan
on kissing nobody
for about a week.
457
00:15:34,266 --> 00:15:36,667
[laughter]
458
00:15:40,166 --> 00:15:43,367
I am one step away
from beating Bobby.
459
00:15:43,367 --> 00:15:45,867
In this round, I wanna show
some baking technique
460
00:15:45,867 --> 00:15:49,567
that's not just pastry,
that is brunchy, too.
461
00:15:49,567 --> 00:15:51,367
[Eddie] Oh, it looks like, uh,
Zac is gonna do something
462
00:15:51,367 --> 00:15:52,400
with that skin.
463
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,500
Zac, what are you doing there?
464
00:15:53,500 --> 00:15:55,767
[Zac] I'm gonna do, like,
a little smoked salmon
465
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:59,600
cornbread situation
with a little salmon mousse.
466
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,367
Smoked salmon cornbread.
467
00:16:01,367 --> 00:16:02,800
This is gonna be
a first for me.
468
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,000
-What, you've never done that?
-[laughter]
469
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,467
I wanna use different parts
of the salmon.
470
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:09,066
So first thing I do
is take the skin
471
00:16:09,066 --> 00:16:11,467
and throw it in the oven
to dry it out.
472
00:16:11,467 --> 00:16:14,467
Then I start working
on my cornbread batter.
473
00:16:14,467 --> 00:16:15,367
I love cornbread.
474
00:16:15,367 --> 00:16:17,500
I never had it
with salmon in it before.
475
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:18,767
I mean, if Zac
pulls off the cornbread,
476
00:16:18,767 --> 00:16:20,000
I mean,
he definitely has a shot.
477
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,667
I mean,
that's a very cool concept.
478
00:16:25,667 --> 00:16:27,000
You're already frying?
479
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,867
[Maneet] Yes.
Some deep fried capers.
480
00:16:29,867 --> 00:16:31,667
-[Zac] Wow.
-I'll show you
how it's done, Zac.
481
00:16:31,667 --> 00:16:32,667
-It's okay.
-[Zac] Okay.
482
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:35,066
[laughter]
483
00:16:35,066 --> 00:16:39,266
Holiday brunch is one
of my favorite meals
of all times.
484
00:16:39,266 --> 00:16:41,500
The entire family is together,
485
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,867
and there is always
an abundance of food.
486
00:16:44,867 --> 00:16:46,367
Maneet, what are you making?
487
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:47,800
I am going to be making
488
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,667
some smoked salmon cakes.
489
00:16:49,667 --> 00:16:51,667
-Oh.
-Cake?
490
00:16:51,667 --> 00:16:53,967
-It's only because of you.
-[Zac] Oh, my God.
491
00:16:53,967 --> 00:16:55,567
[Maneet] The strategy
is to make sure
492
00:16:55,567 --> 00:16:57,867
that the traditional
accompaniments
493
00:16:57,867 --> 00:17:00,367
that go with smoked salmon
are present,
494
00:17:00,367 --> 00:17:03,667
and then put my own
Maneet twist on it.
495
00:17:03,667 --> 00:17:06,100
For the salmon cake,
I take some panko,
496
00:17:06,100 --> 00:17:09,200
put some mayonnaise in it.
Little bit of curry powder
497
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,367
not only adds smoke,
but also a little bit of heat.
498
00:17:13,367 --> 00:17:16,400
The curry with the salmon
is delicious.
499
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,800
-Yup.
-[Sophie] Last time
Maneet was here,
500
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,767
-you beat her.
-[Bobby] Yeah.
501
00:17:19,767 --> 00:17:21,266
But I think she wants
to change that tonight.
502
00:17:21,266 --> 00:17:22,367
[Eddie] Hey, uh, Maneet,
503
00:17:22,367 --> 00:17:24,200
what's that measuring
technique right there?
504
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,767
It's an ancient
Indian way of...
505
00:17:26,767 --> 00:17:28,000
[laughter]
506
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,100
...measuring.
507
00:17:31,166 --> 00:17:35,000
I am a chef, restaurateur
based out of Nashville, y'all.
508
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,700
My cuisine
takes all of these different
509
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:39,467
beautiful spices from India
510
00:17:39,467 --> 00:17:43,667
and assimilating it
into my new home America.
511
00:17:44,567 --> 00:17:47,400
You might know me
from Chopped...
512
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,767
Maneet Chauhan!
513
00:17:48,767 --> 00:17:51,100
[Maneet] ...or maybe winning
Tournament of Champions.
514
00:17:51,100 --> 00:17:52,533
You must have seen me around.
515
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:55,867
Last holiday season,
Bobby beat me.
516
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:57,767
We were robbed.
517
00:17:57,767 --> 00:17:59,166
Not happening again.
518
00:18:01,867 --> 00:18:03,667
-Zacky-poo.
-[Zac] Yo. Yeah, babe.
519
00:18:03,667 --> 00:18:04,967
I don't know
if I should talk to you.
520
00:18:04,967 --> 00:18:06,266
-You just beat me.
-[Zac] What?
521
00:18:06,266 --> 00:18:07,233
We're good, right?
522
00:18:07,233 --> 00:18:08,767
[Eddie] So you're actually
baking over here, huh?
523
00:18:08,767 --> 00:18:10,166
-[Zac] I am actually baking.
-[Eddie] Yeah, okay.
524
00:18:10,166 --> 00:18:12,400
So you gonna beat Maneet
though, huh?
525
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,600
-Oh, hands down.
-In your dreams, buddy.
526
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,567
[laughter]
527
00:18:16,567 --> 00:18:17,767
[Zac] I need butter and eggs.
528
00:18:18,767 --> 00:18:20,367
[Eddie] Zac,
you got 14 minutes left!
529
00:18:20,367 --> 00:18:22,400
You don't got no butter.
You ain't got no eggs.
530
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,800
Everyone calm down, all right?
531
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,667
[laughs]
532
00:18:25,667 --> 00:18:28,166
-[Eddie] Maneet,
what you... Mangoes?
-Why not?
533
00:18:28,166 --> 00:18:29,967
And ginger? Wait.
What are you doing?
534
00:18:29,967 --> 00:18:31,266
[Maneet] Cucumber, mango slaw.
535
00:18:31,266 --> 00:18:33,667
Wow. Deep fried capers?
536
00:18:33,667 --> 00:18:34,900
I'm here for that.
537
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:36,467
So Zac, no problem, huh?
538
00:18:36,467 --> 00:18:37,700
Who? Zac?
539
00:18:37,700 --> 00:18:39,166
[Eddie] I don't think
Zac knows what he's doing.
540
00:18:39,166 --> 00:18:40,967
-What?
-Come on, Zac.
541
00:18:40,967 --> 00:18:43,467
You have 13 minutes
and 50 seconds left.
542
00:18:43,467 --> 00:18:45,667
[cheering and applauding]
543
00:18:45,667 --> 00:18:49,800
Next thing I do is portion out
salmon cakes to fry them.
544
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,000
[Eddie] Maneet is doing
like a croquette.
545
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,200
I'm a bit concerned,
546
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,800
there's a lot
of salty components
547
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,800
-in Maneet's dish.
-[Sophie] Right.
548
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,266
You're still working
on that cornbread, Zac?
549
00:18:58,266 --> 00:19:00,166
All right. Everyone calm down.
550
00:19:00,767 --> 00:19:02,266
[Bobby] Just over 10 minutes.
551
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,467
I have all
of my dry ingredients,
552
00:19:04,467 --> 00:19:05,767
and I add the buttermilk,
553
00:19:05,767 --> 00:19:08,166
maple syrup,
another handful of salmon.
554
00:19:08,166 --> 00:19:09,266
I like the concept of it.
555
00:19:09,266 --> 00:19:11,200
It's gonna be hard
to get those done.
556
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,100
All right. It's in the oven.
Is everyone happy?
557
00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:14,800
[cheering and applauding]
558
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,100
[Zac] At this point,
I'm wondering can I
actually make this cornbread?
559
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:18,500
We're gonna find out.
560
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:20,467
What'd they say,
a Christmas miracle?
561
00:19:20,467 --> 00:19:21,667
-[laughs] Right, yeah.
-[laughs]
562
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,600
Coming up on nine minutes.
563
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,567
[cheering and applauding]
564
00:19:29,567 --> 00:19:31,100
Looks good, right?
565
00:19:31,100 --> 00:19:33,133
[Eddie] So, Maneet
has some cucumbers,
566
00:19:33,133 --> 00:19:35,567
some mango,
and some pomegranate.
567
00:19:35,567 --> 00:19:36,767
[Bobby]
What's happening there?
568
00:19:36,767 --> 00:19:38,300
I'm just making a slaw.
569
00:19:38,300 --> 00:19:40,166
Maneet uses a lot
of Indian flavors.
570
00:19:40,166 --> 00:19:42,667
Mango is a big component,
has a cooling effect
571
00:19:42,667 --> 00:19:44,567
to go along with the heat
of the curry.
572
00:19:44,567 --> 00:19:45,767
It'll probably
help balance out
573
00:19:45,767 --> 00:19:47,266
-the saltiness of the salmon.
-[Bobby] Yup.
574
00:19:47,266 --> 00:19:49,166
[Maneet] I am hoping
that all together,
575
00:19:49,166 --> 00:19:50,467
this will be the perfect bite.
576
00:19:50,467 --> 00:19:52,400
[Zac] Uh, what else?
577
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,467
-Zac, do you need some help?
-[Zac] Yeah, sure.
578
00:19:54,467 --> 00:19:56,133
Now that my cornbread
is in the oven,
579
00:19:56,133 --> 00:19:58,667
I'm going to start working
on my mousse.
580
00:19:58,667 --> 00:20:00,834
Does Zac have salmon
in the blender?
581
00:20:00,834 --> 00:20:02,667
[Bobby] He's definitely
using the ingredient.
582
00:20:02,667 --> 00:20:04,133
-All right, I'm going in.
-[Eddie] All right.
583
00:20:04,133 --> 00:20:05,667
[audience applauding]
584
00:20:05,667 --> 00:20:07,100
Zac, we were freaking out
585
00:20:07,100 --> 00:20:10,000
about how, uh, late
you put in the cornbread.
586
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,300
-[Zac] Sure.
-What's going on here?
587
00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:12,867
Are you feeling okay about it?
588
00:20:12,867 --> 00:20:14,166
Yeah. Got the oven cranking.
589
00:20:14,166 --> 00:20:15,467
-I know what I'm doing.
-And what's this?
590
00:20:15,467 --> 00:20:17,734
I wanted to do,
like, a smoked salmon mousse.
591
00:20:17,734 --> 00:20:18,767
[Sophie]
Never had that before.
592
00:20:18,767 --> 00:20:19,867
So, I'm intrigued.
593
00:20:19,867 --> 00:20:21,166
Little heavy cream,
little salmon,
594
00:20:21,166 --> 00:20:22,567
little salt,
little bit of buttermilk,
595
00:20:22,567 --> 00:20:23,500
little maple.
596
00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:26,567
Just to counterbalance
the salty salmon.
597
00:20:26,567 --> 00:20:27,600
A lot of salmon.
598
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,033
-That's the strategy,
you know?
-[Sophie] Yes.
599
00:20:29,033 --> 00:20:30,367
I like it.
600
00:20:30,367 --> 00:20:31,767
Maneet, what's going on?
601
00:20:31,767 --> 00:20:34,200
[Maneet] The smoked
salmon cakes are here.
602
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,667
I'm just thinking of all
the traditional accompaniments
603
00:20:36,667 --> 00:20:37,667
-to smoked salmon.
-[Maneet] Mm-hmm.
604
00:20:37,667 --> 00:20:39,467
Like capers and...
605
00:20:39,467 --> 00:20:41,600
-I love capers.
-...creme fraiche and dill.
606
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,567
And then, of course,
there's a little bit
of a fresh salad.
607
00:20:43,567 --> 00:20:45,266
-Last time,
my dad beat you, or...
-Yes, he did.
608
00:20:45,266 --> 00:20:46,467
...is that gonna
be different tonight?
609
00:20:46,467 --> 00:20:48,066
-Oh, yeah, absolutely.
-[Sophie] Oh.
610
00:20:48,066 --> 00:20:49,367
That's because
you're here, right?
611
00:20:49,367 --> 00:20:50,834
Exac...
612
00:20:50,834 --> 00:20:51,734
That's it.
613
00:20:51,734 --> 00:20:53,033
There we go.
614
00:20:53,033 --> 00:20:54,867
[cheering and applauding]
615
00:20:54,867 --> 00:20:56,266
[Sophie] Four minutes to go.
616
00:20:57,467 --> 00:20:59,667
I have to say, everything
is tasting really good.
617
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:00,734
Maneet put it in the fryer.
618
00:21:00,734 --> 00:21:02,133
It's crisping up really nice.
619
00:21:02,133 --> 00:21:03,667
The mousse,
I didn't get to try.
620
00:21:03,667 --> 00:21:05,166
[Eddie] He's really
working on it.
621
00:21:05,166 --> 00:21:07,166
Doesn't seem too happy
with the texture.
622
00:21:07,166 --> 00:21:08,667
It seems broken.
623
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:09,734
[Zac] As I blend it,
624
00:21:09,734 --> 00:21:11,166
the cream is starting
to break a little bit,
625
00:21:11,166 --> 00:21:12,867
almost turning to butter.
626
00:21:12,867 --> 00:21:13,867
[Eddie]
How does it taste, Zac?
627
00:21:13,867 --> 00:21:15,266
Mousse-y?
628
00:21:15,266 --> 00:21:16,500
Mousse-y, baby.
629
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:19,834
It's a little broken,
but time is running out.
630
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:22,400
[Sophie]
Maneet is already platting.
631
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,734
Wow.
632
00:21:23,734 --> 00:21:25,166
[Maneet] The salmon cake
look great.
633
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:26,834
They go on the plate
634
00:21:26,834 --> 00:21:28,834
with a little bit
of creme fraiche,
635
00:21:28,834 --> 00:21:31,066
and then
the cucumber mango slaw.
636
00:21:31,867 --> 00:21:32,867
[Bobby] Two minutes to go.
637
00:21:32,867 --> 00:21:34,266
[audience cheering
and applauding]
638
00:21:34,266 --> 00:21:35,367
[Zac] I checked the cornbread.
639
00:21:35,367 --> 00:21:36,367
I pull it out.
640
00:21:36,367 --> 00:21:39,066
Okay.
All I'm saying, by the way...
641
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:42,033
-Oh, wow!
-Oh, see, they look good.
642
00:21:42,033 --> 00:21:43,200
It's a miracle!
643
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,867
-It's a Christmas miracle!
-It's a Christmas miracle.
644
00:21:44,867 --> 00:21:46,967
Woo!
645
00:21:46,967 --> 00:21:50,367
[Zac] To plate, I piped
the mousse into glasses,
646
00:21:50,367 --> 00:21:51,867
then my cornbread.
647
00:21:51,867 --> 00:21:55,734
[Maneet] I do the deep fried
capers, salmon roe,
648
00:21:55,734 --> 00:21:57,767
and then finish it
with a little bit of dill.
649
00:21:57,767 --> 00:21:59,600
[Eddie] One minute!
650
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,266
[Zac] I topped the cream
with my crispy salmon skin.
651
00:22:03,266 --> 00:22:04,967
[Maneet]
What are you looking for?
652
00:22:04,967 --> 00:22:06,133
Dill!
653
00:22:06,133 --> 00:22:08,066
-Here. Dill.
-Oh, thank you.
654
00:22:08,066 --> 00:22:12,567
[all] Six, five,
four, three, two, one.
655
00:22:12,567 --> 00:22:14,233
-[bell dings]
-[audience cheering
and applauding]
656
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,767
Zac is making me nervous.
657
00:22:17,767 --> 00:22:19,767
[Zac] Did the cornbread
in 20 minutes.
658
00:22:19,767 --> 00:22:20,734
Take that.
659
00:22:20,734 --> 00:22:22,734
Doubt me again, guys,
all right?
660
00:22:22,734 --> 00:22:24,967
[Maneet] This is
the perfect brunch dish.
661
00:22:24,967 --> 00:22:26,200
It's my time to shine.
662
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,734
We're only one
smoked salmon dish away
663
00:22:31,734 --> 00:22:32,734
from seeing
who gets to take on my dad,
664
00:22:32,734 --> 00:22:34,200
the king of brunch himself.
665
00:22:35,467 --> 00:22:37,266
Oh, please.
666
00:22:37,266 --> 00:22:39,934
[laughter]
667
00:22:39,934 --> 00:22:40,934
All right, Chef Maneet,
668
00:22:40,934 --> 00:22:41,867
why don't you tell us
what you did.
669
00:22:41,867 --> 00:22:43,133
So what we have
in front of you
670
00:22:43,133 --> 00:22:46,266
is a hot-smoked salmon cake
671
00:22:46,266 --> 00:22:49,600
with a cucumber, mango slaw,
672
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,467
and fried capers.
673
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:54,600
This plate
is absolutely beautiful.
674
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,667
The cake itself is nice
and crispy on the outside.
675
00:22:57,667 --> 00:23:00,367
Tons of that smoked salmon
on the inside.
676
00:23:00,367 --> 00:23:02,867
The slaw has a little bit
of tartness,
677
00:23:02,867 --> 00:23:04,166
a little bit of sweetness,
678
00:23:04,166 --> 00:23:06,133
a little bit of heat
in there as well.
679
00:23:06,133 --> 00:23:07,467
My only, uh, issue is that
680
00:23:07,467 --> 00:23:09,467
when you get the capers
and the roe,
681
00:23:09,467 --> 00:23:12,166
it's teetering on the edge
of being just a little salty.
682
00:23:13,667 --> 00:23:15,567
This is an ideal
brunch dish for sure.
683
00:23:15,567 --> 00:23:18,266
The curry and the salmon
go together perfectly.
684
00:23:18,266 --> 00:23:19,867
Maybe a little dry
on the inside
685
00:23:19,867 --> 00:23:21,767
and it is
maybe a little salty,
686
00:23:21,767 --> 00:23:24,000
but the slaw balances it out.
687
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,333
Thank you.
688
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:27,467
[Eddie] Chef Zac,
what'd you make?
689
00:23:27,467 --> 00:23:28,367
[laughs]
690
00:23:28,367 --> 00:23:30,767
[Zac] Hot-smoked
salmon cornbread bites
691
00:23:30,767 --> 00:23:33,233
with a salmon cream
and the crispy salmon skin.
692
00:23:34,367 --> 00:23:37,867
You got some kind of cornbread
wizardry going on?
693
00:23:37,867 --> 00:23:38,867
[laughter]
694
00:23:38,867 --> 00:23:41,166
These are about as perfect
as you can get.
695
00:23:41,166 --> 00:23:43,600
They're light,
they're fluffy on the inside,
696
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,767
it has a little bit
of sweetness,
697
00:23:44,767 --> 00:23:46,500
then you get
these pops of saltiness
698
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:48,266
from the smoked salmon itself.
699
00:23:48,266 --> 00:23:50,867
I love this little crispy
salmon skin.
700
00:23:50,867 --> 00:23:51,800
The mousse itself,
701
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,667
I think the texture of it
is a little bit off.
702
00:23:53,667 --> 00:23:54,567
It seems broken,
703
00:23:54,567 --> 00:23:57,033
but the flavor
is definitely there.
704
00:23:58,066 --> 00:23:59,667
They are so good.
705
00:23:59,667 --> 00:24:01,567
The maple syrup
complements the salmon
706
00:24:01,567 --> 00:24:03,867
and the cornbread perfectly.
707
00:24:03,867 --> 00:24:06,000
Salmon mousse, it's delicious,
708
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,200
but a little light
on the salmon flavor.
709
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,266
I actually think I would've
liked a little bit more.
710
00:24:09,266 --> 00:24:11,133
But overall, I mean,
these are two fantastic
711
00:24:11,133 --> 00:24:13,300
smoked salmon dishes.
712
00:24:13,300 --> 00:24:16,367
[Eddie] Me and Sophie have
a very tough decision
on our hands.
713
00:24:16,367 --> 00:24:17,433
Uh, give us a minute.
714
00:24:17,867 --> 00:24:20,200
Maneet is a powerhouse,
715
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,767
but also, you know,
I kind of pulled something out
716
00:24:22,767 --> 00:24:25,000
that I don't think
the judges had seen before.
717
00:24:26,367 --> 00:24:30,066
The chef moving forward
to challenge Bobby is...
718
00:24:34,967 --> 00:24:35,867
Chef Maneet.
719
00:24:35,867 --> 00:24:36,834
[audience cheering
and applauding]
720
00:24:38,266 --> 00:24:40,634
[softly] Thank you.
721
00:24:42,967 --> 00:24:44,066
Ah, this feels good.
722
00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:45,033
[grunts]
723
00:24:45,033 --> 00:24:46,066
[chuckles]
724
00:24:46,066 --> 00:24:49,367
Chef Maneet, we felt like
you made the smoked salmon
725
00:24:49,367 --> 00:24:50,600
more of a star
726
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,266
and it was
extremely delicious.
727
00:24:52,266 --> 00:24:53,266
Thank you.
728
00:24:53,266 --> 00:24:54,767
Maneet,
you've been here before.
729
00:24:54,767 --> 00:24:55,667
How are you feeling?
730
00:24:55,667 --> 00:24:56,967
I'm so ready.
731
00:24:56,967 --> 00:24:58,967
After this,
I'll have a T-shirt made.
732
00:24:58,967 --> 00:25:00,767
You know, "Beaten Bobby Flay."
733
00:25:00,767 --> 00:25:02,767
-[Sophie laughs] Yes.
-[Eddie laughs]
734
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:03,934
[audience cheering]
735
00:25:11,667 --> 00:25:13,467
All right, Maneet.
Congratulations.
736
00:25:13,467 --> 00:25:15,066
Are you feeling extra ready
737
00:25:15,066 --> 00:25:16,266
'cause you didn't win
last season?
738
00:25:16,266 --> 00:25:18,266
-I've trained all last year.
-[Bobby] You've trained?
739
00:25:18,266 --> 00:25:19,367
[Maneet] Yeah.
740
00:25:19,367 --> 00:25:21,734
[Bobby] Interesting. So what
is your signature dish?
741
00:25:22,133 --> 00:25:23,467
So my signature dish,
742
00:25:23,467 --> 00:25:26,467
which is a holiday
brunch favorite...
743
00:25:28,667 --> 00:25:30,100
egg curry vindaloo...
744
00:25:30,100 --> 00:25:31,266
Ooh. Egg--
745
00:25:31,266 --> 00:25:32,166
[Maneet] ...with paranthas.
746
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:33,600
Oh, he's definitely losing.
747
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:34,667
[Zac] Yes!
748
00:25:34,667 --> 00:25:36,000
[Eddie laughs]
749
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,266
I make this with Sophie
all the time.
750
00:25:38,266 --> 00:25:39,767
Have you made this before?
751
00:25:39,767 --> 00:25:40,934
No.
752
00:25:40,934 --> 00:25:43,266
But I can see it in my head.
753
00:25:43,266 --> 00:25:44,834
Uh-huh? [laughs]
754
00:25:44,834 --> 00:25:47,166
Well, Maneet, you also get
to pick your teammate.
755
00:25:47,166 --> 00:25:50,133
So who's it gonna be,
Zac or Eddie?
756
00:25:50,133 --> 00:25:52,033
Oh, that's going to be
a tough one.
757
00:25:52,033 --> 00:25:56,467
I am going to go with Zac,
758
00:25:56,467 --> 00:25:59,000
because Eddie has already
called you a wizard.
759
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,367
Come on.
760
00:26:00,367 --> 00:26:03,667
Ladies who brunch
have come to play.
761
00:26:03,667 --> 00:26:05,066
What are we making?
762
00:26:05,066 --> 00:26:06,667
[laughter]
763
00:26:06,667 --> 00:26:07,967
-[Bobby] Come here, Ed.
-[Eddie] Oh, yeah.
764
00:26:07,967 --> 00:26:08,867
All right, Eddie,
you get my dad.
765
00:26:08,867 --> 00:26:10,367
Two world-class athletes
ready to go.
766
00:26:10,367 --> 00:26:11,834
-Yeah, you know.
-[Sophie] Oh, my God.
767
00:26:11,834 --> 00:26:13,567
You wish.
768
00:26:13,567 --> 00:26:15,667
This is really revenge
for both of you.
769
00:26:15,667 --> 00:26:16,867
Uh-huh.
770
00:26:16,867 --> 00:26:18,166
[Sophie] And you'll each have
45 minutes
771
00:26:18,166 --> 00:26:21,166
to cook vindaloo egg curry
and paranthas,
772
00:26:21,166 --> 00:26:23,734
and one additional side
of your choice.
773
00:26:23,734 --> 00:26:25,467
-We're ready.
-Let's go.
774
00:26:25,467 --> 00:26:27,634
[cheering and applauding]
775
00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:32,367
-[woman speaking]
-Yay!
776
00:26:32,367 --> 00:26:33,667
[Sophie] So Maneet
has challenged my dad
777
00:26:33,667 --> 00:26:36,166
to a traditional
Indian Christmas brunch.
778
00:26:36,166 --> 00:26:39,467
Egg vindaloo is a tangy,
spicy, tomato-based curry
779
00:26:39,467 --> 00:26:42,367
that traditionally
includes red chili, vinegar,
780
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:44,934
ginger, garlic,
and some garam masala.
781
00:26:44,934 --> 00:26:46,867
And the egg is hard-boiled.
782
00:26:46,867 --> 00:26:48,200
They're also making
some paranthas,
783
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,066
which is basically flatbread.
784
00:26:50,066 --> 00:26:52,567
So, Maneet, why did you choose
egg vindaloo?
785
00:26:52,567 --> 00:26:54,467
You know, it reminds me
of during brunch
786
00:26:54,467 --> 00:26:56,734
when people like to have
Bloody Mary spicy?
787
00:26:56,734 --> 00:26:59,600
-Yeah.
-This is the food version
of Bloody Mary, brunch.
788
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,033
-[Sophie] Ooh.
-Perfect.
789
00:27:01,033 --> 00:27:03,400
We are making
egg curry vindaloo
790
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,266
with paranthas
and poha potato hash.
791
00:27:07,266 --> 00:27:09,133
I have been making it
all my life.
792
00:27:09,133 --> 00:27:11,000
-We got it.
-We got it.
793
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,667
I start off by making
the parantha dough.
794
00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:17,133
So parantha
is an Indian bread.
795
00:27:17,133 --> 00:27:19,600
It's usually layered
or stuffed,
796
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,567
which is whole wheat flour
797
00:27:21,567 --> 00:27:24,200
and some ajwain
which is carom seeds.
798
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,266
And make sure that it comes
together as a soft dough.
799
00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:29,233
Yes!
800
00:27:30,467 --> 00:27:31,467
How many hard-boiled eggs?
801
00:27:31,467 --> 00:27:32,467
Let's do 10.
802
00:27:32,467 --> 00:27:35,233
[Maneet] Zac starts
working on eggs, onions.
803
00:27:35,767 --> 00:27:37,133
[Zac] Thin slice?
804
00:27:37,133 --> 00:27:38,500
-[Maneet] Thin slice.
-Yes, Chef.
805
00:27:38,500 --> 00:27:40,734
Whatever my queen needs,
I'm there.
806
00:27:41,367 --> 00:27:42,967
Love it.
807
00:27:42,967 --> 00:27:45,033
[Sophie] Dad,
what's your take on this dish?
808
00:27:45,033 --> 00:27:48,400
Uh, it's gonna have some
eggs in it, some flatbread.
809
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,367
[laughter]
810
00:27:50,367 --> 00:27:51,567
[Bobby] This cilantro
and mint chutney,
811
00:27:51,567 --> 00:27:54,033
I'm gonna serve it
with some coconut rice.
812
00:27:54,033 --> 00:27:56,166
All four things that
I know about Indian food,
813
00:27:56,166 --> 00:27:57,367
we're making it right now.
814
00:27:57,367 --> 00:27:59,367
-Okay.
-Egg curry vinda-who?
815
00:27:59,367 --> 00:28:00,767
-Yeah. Exactly.
-[laughs]
816
00:28:00,767 --> 00:28:02,033
[Bobby] We got this.
817
00:28:02,834 --> 00:28:03,967
I'm gonna make
the base of the curry,
818
00:28:03,967 --> 00:28:06,266
shallots, ginger, garlic.
819
00:28:06,266 --> 00:28:08,200
I have a vindaloo
spice blend.
820
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,834
I have a garam masala
spice blend
821
00:28:09,834 --> 00:28:13,166
and I have a curry blend,
and I let that kind of toast.
822
00:28:13,166 --> 00:28:14,467
You got the paratha bread?
823
00:28:14,467 --> 00:28:15,767
-Yes.
-[Bobby] All right. Let's go.
824
00:28:15,767 --> 00:28:17,266
[Eddie]
I take some wheat flour,
825
00:28:17,266 --> 00:28:18,567
a little bit of avocado oil,
826
00:28:18,567 --> 00:28:20,567
and pulse
with some lukewarm water
827
00:28:20,567 --> 00:28:22,467
until the dough
starts to form.
828
00:28:22,467 --> 00:28:23,867
Yeah. That looks good.
829
00:28:23,867 --> 00:28:25,200
[Eddie] And then
just let it sit.
830
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,500
Let those... The gluten
and all of that good stuff
come together.
831
00:28:27,500 --> 00:28:29,133
We're just gonna try
to cook good food,
832
00:28:29,133 --> 00:28:30,600
and hopefully,
Maneet messes up.
833
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,000
[both laugh]
834
00:28:33,100 --> 00:28:34,734
Even though my dad
might not be familiar
835
00:28:34,734 --> 00:28:35,667
with this type of curry,
836
00:28:35,667 --> 00:28:38,166
he has made a lot of curry
in his day,
837
00:28:38,166 --> 00:28:39,467
and he's always
gonna bring the flavor.
838
00:28:39,467 --> 00:28:40,300
We know that.
839
00:28:40,300 --> 00:28:41,934
So I'm excited to see
what they make.
840
00:28:43,166 --> 00:28:44,867
If you can fry
the onion and garlic.
841
00:28:44,867 --> 00:28:46,600
-Sliced, diced?
-Sliced.
842
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,367
I start working
on the paste for my vindaloo,
843
00:28:49,367 --> 00:28:50,967
so there's mustard seeds,
844
00:28:50,967 --> 00:28:54,900
fenugreek seeds,
cumin seeds, whole red chili.
845
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,266
Once the spice start emitting
the wonderful aromas,
846
00:28:59,266 --> 00:29:02,367
that goes into a blender
along with some vinegar
847
00:29:02,367 --> 00:29:04,667
and fried onions
and the fried garlic,
848
00:29:04,667 --> 00:29:06,133
and we blend
that entire paste.
849
00:29:06,133 --> 00:29:07,033
[whirring]
850
00:29:07,033 --> 00:29:08,734
Such a great shortcut,
by the way.
851
00:29:08,734 --> 00:29:10,667
I'm telling you, that's how
you make curries on the fly.
852
00:29:10,667 --> 00:29:11,867
-[mimicking explosion]
-Curry in a hurry.
853
00:29:11,867 --> 00:29:13,367
Oh, my God.
854
00:29:13,367 --> 00:29:14,400
Bobby, I don't think
your station
855
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,767
is smelling like that.
856
00:29:15,767 --> 00:29:16,867
Smells pretty good to me.
857
00:29:16,867 --> 00:29:17,834
[chuckles]
858
00:29:20,967 --> 00:29:24,000
Bobby definitely is known
as the king of brunch.
859
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,400
But I don't think that Bobby
is very comfortable
with curries.
860
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,600
[Zac] You know
that I've never heard
Bobby this quiet.
861
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:31,834
I know.
862
00:29:31,834 --> 00:29:33,266
Do you think
he's nervous or something?
863
00:29:33,266 --> 00:29:34,567
[Zac laughs]
864
00:29:34,567 --> 00:29:36,467
Now, we're bringing out
the evil laugh.
865
00:29:36,467 --> 00:29:37,867
Please keep it down.
866
00:29:37,867 --> 00:29:39,200
[audience exclaiming]
867
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,166
I can't be distracted.
868
00:29:41,166 --> 00:29:42,867
My dad is in trouble
because he doesn't use
869
00:29:42,867 --> 00:29:44,567
Indian flavors that often.
870
00:29:44,567 --> 00:29:46,367
Bobby, you're going down.
871
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:48,266
[laughs]
872
00:29:48,266 --> 00:29:50,166
-I love this game.
-I know.
873
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,734
Coming up on 34 minutes.
874
00:29:56,734 --> 00:29:58,967
[cheering and applauding]
875
00:29:58,967 --> 00:30:00,767
All right, Maneet, Zac,
what's going on here?
876
00:30:00,767 --> 00:30:03,834
So right over here,
I have the vindaloo paste.
877
00:30:03,834 --> 00:30:07,667
Zac is, uh, doing the eggs,
uh, parantha dough is ready.
878
00:30:07,667 --> 00:30:09,867
So, yeah,
I think we are doing good.
879
00:30:09,867 --> 00:30:10,867
What'd you say? I'm sorry.
880
00:30:10,867 --> 00:30:12,166
[Sophie] No cheating, Eddie.
881
00:30:12,166 --> 00:30:14,667
Do you want to know
how it should taste like?
882
00:30:14,667 --> 00:30:16,467
[laughter]
883
00:30:16,467 --> 00:30:17,667
What's happening over here?
884
00:30:17,667 --> 00:30:18,734
[Eddie] Whole lot
of good stuff.
885
00:30:18,734 --> 00:30:19,867
Who's doing what
on your team, Dad, here?
886
00:30:19,867 --> 00:30:20,767
So, um--
887
00:30:20,767 --> 00:30:22,166
-[Sophie] What are you doing?
-Eddie--
888
00:30:22,166 --> 00:30:23,667
-[Eddie] I'm just
looking good.
-Get to work.
889
00:30:23,667 --> 00:30:25,166
Eddie's making
the paratha bread
890
00:30:25,166 --> 00:30:26,467
and he's got the eggs.
891
00:30:26,467 --> 00:30:28,266
I think traditionally they do
'em hard-boiled...
892
00:30:28,266 --> 00:30:29,667
-[Eddie] Yeah.
-...but I want 'em
a little jammy.
893
00:30:29,667 --> 00:30:31,367
[Sophie] All right.
Jammy eggs.
894
00:30:31,367 --> 00:30:33,834
Getting the mangoes
caramelized for the rice.
895
00:30:33,834 --> 00:30:36,166
-What are you doing?
-[Bobby] I got some
coconut rice working.
896
00:30:36,166 --> 00:30:37,166
I'm gonna put some lime.
897
00:30:37,166 --> 00:30:38,367
Make it a little
crispy situation.
898
00:30:38,367 --> 00:30:40,133
I got the base
of the sauce working,
899
00:30:40,133 --> 00:30:41,667
tomato and some coconut milk.
900
00:30:41,667 --> 00:30:44,300
Coconut kind of chills out
all the spices, you know.
901
00:30:44,300 --> 00:30:46,667
Dad, is coconut
milk traditional in this?
902
00:30:46,667 --> 00:30:48,467
-Nope.
-[audience laughing]
903
00:30:48,467 --> 00:30:51,000
Well, listen, I... Oh.
904
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,266
-[audience exclaiming]
-[chuckles]
905
00:30:52,266 --> 00:30:54,066
[Bobby] I like coconut milk,
so I'm using it--
906
00:30:54,066 --> 00:30:56,233
-So you're just doing
whatever you want?
-[laughs] Exactly.
907
00:30:56,233 --> 00:30:58,033
All right, you do that.
908
00:30:58,033 --> 00:31:00,066
[Bobby]
I add a can of tomatoes,
909
00:31:00,066 --> 00:31:01,166
some chicken stock,
910
00:31:01,166 --> 00:31:03,100
and I'll let that cook down
to develop flavor.
911
00:31:03,100 --> 00:31:05,266
[Sophie] Coming up
on 24 minutes.
912
00:31:05,266 --> 00:31:06,734
[cheering and applauding]
913
00:31:08,066 --> 00:31:09,867
Maneet has her vindaloo
paste going,
914
00:31:09,867 --> 00:31:10,934
which is gonna be
for her sauce.
915
00:31:10,934 --> 00:31:13,767
So many spices up there,
almost too many to list.
916
00:31:13,767 --> 00:31:14,934
Peel the eggs.
917
00:31:14,934 --> 00:31:16,867
And then the marinade,
I kept right next to you.
918
00:31:16,867 --> 00:31:19,133
Maneet put Zac in charge
of the hard-boiled eggs.
919
00:31:19,133 --> 00:31:20,567
I like a jammy egg,
920
00:31:20,567 --> 00:31:22,100
but it's really
gonna all come down
921
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:23,567
to what our judges
are used to.
922
00:31:25,233 --> 00:31:27,166
-[Eddie] Good right here?
-[Bobby] Perfect.
923
00:31:27,166 --> 00:31:28,567
Dad, what are you
working on now?
924
00:31:28,567 --> 00:31:30,300
[Bobby] I'm pickling
some onions.
925
00:31:30,300 --> 00:31:31,867
I got some
coconut rice working.
926
00:31:31,867 --> 00:31:34,367
I have the coconut rice
in the cast iron pan.
927
00:31:34,367 --> 00:31:36,867
I take the caramelized mangoes
that Eddie gave me.
928
00:31:36,867 --> 00:31:39,367
I'm gonna start
to make it crispy.
929
00:31:39,367 --> 00:31:41,567
Crispy rice,
kind of a signature of his.
930
00:31:41,567 --> 00:31:43,266
Every time I come home
at the holidays,
931
00:31:43,266 --> 00:31:46,000
it was always, like, a crispy
rice dish of some sort.
932
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,667
And if the judges like
something a little bit
933
00:31:47,667 --> 00:31:49,367
outside of the box,
he could have it.
934
00:31:53,100 --> 00:31:55,467
So, Maneet, what are
the potatoes for then?
935
00:31:55,467 --> 00:31:58,000
It's for
flattened rice dish, poha.
936
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,066
It'll be like a hash.
937
00:32:00,066 --> 00:32:01,100
Yum.
938
00:32:01,100 --> 00:32:02,767
This is a traditional
Indian breakfast, brunch item,
939
00:32:02,767 --> 00:32:05,500
which is spices and turmeric
940
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,166
along with
some red sliced onions.
941
00:32:08,166 --> 00:32:11,400
I'm putting my twist on it
by adding a lot of potatoes
942
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,367
and peas to it.
943
00:32:13,367 --> 00:32:15,166
Then I finish it
with some flattened rice
944
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:16,166
and let it cook.
945
00:32:18,266 --> 00:32:19,667
[Sophie]
Fifteen minutes to go.
946
00:32:19,667 --> 00:32:20,767
[audience cheering]
947
00:32:20,767 --> 00:32:23,300
Eddie's rolling out
some of our amazing
948
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:25,467
-traditional flatbread.
-[Eddie chuckles]
949
00:32:25,467 --> 00:32:26,834
I take my dough.
950
00:32:26,834 --> 00:32:28,000
I'm gonna roll that out.
951
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,367
Little coating of ghee.
952
00:32:29,367 --> 00:32:31,467
And then, basically,
I'm gonna make
like a cinnamon roll.
953
00:32:31,467 --> 00:32:33,166
Eddie, have you made
those before?
954
00:32:33,166 --> 00:32:35,667
-Absolutely... not.
-[Sophie laughs]
955
00:32:35,667 --> 00:32:37,467
[Eddie] I know
the gist of it, though.
956
00:32:37,467 --> 00:32:38,667
We just hope that it works.
957
00:32:38,667 --> 00:32:40,133
We are professionals.
958
00:32:40,133 --> 00:32:41,767
[laughing] Oh, my God.
959
00:32:41,767 --> 00:32:45,133
Maneet, how are you making
your paranthas?
960
00:32:45,133 --> 00:32:48,066
Layering it with some
fenugreek leaves and ghee.
961
00:32:48,066 --> 00:32:50,667
I roll it out,
962
00:32:50,667 --> 00:32:52,767
fold it, roll it out,
963
00:32:52,767 --> 00:32:54,166
and then fold it again.
964
00:32:54,166 --> 00:32:56,233
It's almost like
making a puff pastry.
965
00:32:56,233 --> 00:32:57,634
It takes a lot of skill.
966
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,800
It's all about the layers.
967
00:33:00,667 --> 00:33:02,667
[Sophie] Ten minutes
on the clock.
968
00:33:04,066 --> 00:33:06,066
So I have cast iron skillet
with my bread
969
00:33:06,066 --> 00:33:07,166
going right in there.
970
00:33:07,166 --> 00:33:10,000
And at the same time,
trying to peel eggs.
971
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,200
-Peeling eggs takes a while.
-Yeah, it takes a minute.
972
00:33:13,667 --> 00:33:15,000
I'm putting this in the fryer.
973
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:16,166
Mm-hmm.
974
00:33:16,166 --> 00:33:18,166
[Maneet] In India, we deep fry
the hard-boiled eggs.
975
00:33:18,166 --> 00:33:22,467
It gives it a chewy exterior,
which mimics meat.
976
00:33:26,467 --> 00:33:29,033
[Bobby] To go with our meal,
I'm gonna make a chutney.
977
00:33:29,033 --> 00:33:30,567
I wanna bring
some brightness to it
978
00:33:30,567 --> 00:33:31,634
and a little acidity.
979
00:33:35,233 --> 00:33:37,600
I have an idea
to mess with my dad.
980
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,867
I think this
will do the trick.
981
00:33:38,867 --> 00:33:40,233
So I'm gonna go in.
982
00:33:41,567 --> 00:33:43,166
Hey, Dad,
in the holiday spirit,
983
00:33:43,166 --> 00:33:44,367
I wanted to do something
a little special for you.
984
00:33:44,367 --> 00:33:46,166
-Okay.
-[Sophie] Take a look.
985
00:33:46,166 --> 00:33:47,433
-Oh, nice.
-So sweet, right?
986
00:33:47,934 --> 00:33:49,233
Flay Family Memories.
987
00:33:49,233 --> 00:33:50,166
-Look.
-Oh, yeah.
988
00:33:50,166 --> 00:33:52,333
-That's me and you.
-[Sophie] So sweet.
989
00:33:53,066 --> 00:33:54,066
-It's me and you.
-Look at us
990
00:33:54,066 --> 00:33:54,934
on our nature walks.
991
00:33:54,934 --> 00:33:55,934
-[Bobby] Yes.
-[Sophie] Yeah.
992
00:33:56,767 --> 00:33:57,867
Wait, what?
993
00:33:57,867 --> 00:33:58,834
How did that get in there?
994
00:33:58,834 --> 00:34:00,867
Whoa.
995
00:34:00,867 --> 00:34:02,734
-Maneet, take a look.
-Aw!
996
00:34:02,734 --> 00:34:04,100
[Sophie]
Look at all that red hair.
997
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:05,233
[chuckles]
998
00:34:05,233 --> 00:34:07,266
Unfortunately, we don't have
a holiday photo together,
999
00:34:07,266 --> 00:34:08,266
so I think we need one
1000
00:34:08,266 --> 00:34:09,567
'cause we have
a missing page.
1001
00:34:09,567 --> 00:34:10,767
-Okay. Let's do it.
-Okay.
1002
00:34:10,767 --> 00:34:13,233
So on the way over here,
I stopped at the mall
1003
00:34:13,233 --> 00:34:15,266
and I picked up a friend
that I think will be perfect
1004
00:34:15,266 --> 00:34:16,400
for this holiday photo.
1005
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:17,600
-Okay.
-Yeah.
1006
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,567
All right.
1007
00:34:18,567 --> 00:34:19,767
Come on out, Kris Kringle.
1008
00:34:19,767 --> 00:34:21,100
Kris Kringle?
1009
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:22,467
[Christmas music playing]
1010
00:34:22,467 --> 00:34:24,767
Ho-ho-ho.
1011
00:34:24,767 --> 00:34:28,000
Merry Christmas, everyone.
1012
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:28,934
[cheering and applauding]
1013
00:34:28,934 --> 00:34:30,433
It's Santa.
1014
00:34:31,266 --> 00:34:32,400
Dad, we need to get a picture.
1015
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,300
-I can't wait.
-[Sophie] Then perfect.
Let's go.
1016
00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:35,567
[audience laughing]
1017
00:34:35,567 --> 00:34:36,767
Have you been
a good boy this year?
1018
00:34:36,767 --> 00:34:38,033
-[Sophie] No.
-[Bobby] Clearly.
1019
00:34:38,033 --> 00:34:40,000
Unfortunately,
you're on the naughty list.
1020
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,266
[laughs]
1021
00:34:41,266 --> 00:34:44,233
-For the Flay
Family Memories.
-Oh, very nice.
1022
00:34:44,233 --> 00:34:46,367
[camera shutter clicks]
1023
00:34:46,367 --> 00:34:48,066
Let's get a picture
with the winners.
1024
00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:49,333
Back to work, sir.
1025
00:34:50,767 --> 00:34:52,266
[Zac] I really hope
that Santa gives us
1026
00:34:52,266 --> 00:34:55,033
what we really want,
which is a win.
1027
00:34:55,033 --> 00:34:56,367
Say, "Beat Bobby Flay."
1028
00:34:56,367 --> 00:34:57,667
-Beat Bobby Flay.
-Beat Bobby Flay.
1029
00:34:57,667 --> 00:34:58,600
Beaten Bobby Flay.
1030
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,667
-Yes.
-[camera shutter clicks]
1031
00:34:59,667 --> 00:35:04,233
Merry Christmas, everyone.
And some coal for you.
1032
00:35:04,233 --> 00:35:05,634
[laughs]
1033
00:35:06,867 --> 00:35:08,166
[Sophie] Four minutes to go.
1034
00:35:08,834 --> 00:35:10,166
Beautiful.
1035
00:35:11,033 --> 00:35:12,767
[Zac] I take the eggs
out of the fryer.
1036
00:35:12,767 --> 00:35:13,834
I cut them.
1037
00:35:13,834 --> 00:35:17,033
Oh, yeah,
I think they are perfect.
1038
00:35:17,033 --> 00:35:18,867
-Booya.
-[Maneet] The paranthas,
1039
00:35:18,867 --> 00:35:21,500
they have this beautiful
golden brown color.
1040
00:35:21,500 --> 00:35:22,967
You can see
the different layers.
1041
00:35:22,967 --> 00:35:24,600
I'm going to finish them
with ghee.
1042
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,066
Maneet's parantha
looks so good.
1043
00:35:27,066 --> 00:35:28,667
I would die to get my hands
on those.
1044
00:35:28,667 --> 00:35:30,467
-How you doing, Ed?
-[Eddie] I'm good.
1045
00:35:30,467 --> 00:35:31,867
[Bobby] You got any eggs
ready yet?
1046
00:35:31,867 --> 00:35:33,166
I got one ready.
1047
00:35:33,166 --> 00:35:34,300
I need four.
1048
00:35:35,734 --> 00:35:36,767
I'm waiting for the eggs.
1049
00:35:36,767 --> 00:35:38,867
And so, I put the chutney
in all the little bowls,
1050
00:35:38,867 --> 00:35:40,667
and then ladled the curry.
1051
00:35:42,934 --> 00:35:45,934
The first thing that we do
is we put the sauce on a plate
1052
00:35:45,934 --> 00:35:48,467
and then the paranthas.
1053
00:35:48,467 --> 00:35:51,867
Take the hard-boiled eggs
and just arrange it around.
1054
00:35:51,867 --> 00:35:53,867
This is a brunch feast.
1055
00:35:53,867 --> 00:35:56,166
It just needs
to look beautiful.
1056
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,367
One minute
and 30 seconds, teams.
1057
00:36:00,367 --> 00:36:01,567
How many eggs you got?
1058
00:36:01,567 --> 00:36:03,000
[Eddie] Two.
1059
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
[Bobby] We get a couple
of eggs going.
1060
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,166
Red onions on top.
1061
00:36:06,166 --> 00:36:08,567
A little
of the cilantro chutney.
1062
00:36:08,567 --> 00:36:10,567
And I'm frantically
peeling this egg,
1063
00:36:10,567 --> 00:36:12,367
but we're behind.
1064
00:36:12,367 --> 00:36:13,767
[Sophie] Dad,
are you gonna finish?
1065
00:36:13,767 --> 00:36:15,066
No idea.
1066
00:36:15,066 --> 00:36:16,667
It's making me very nervous.
1067
00:36:16,667 --> 00:36:19,100
[Maneet] The poha
is in a small bowl.
1068
00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:22,266
Then fill all the space
with some fryums
1069
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:25,967
which are these
tapioca wafers,
1070
00:36:25,967 --> 00:36:27,100
and voila!
1071
00:36:27,934 --> 00:36:28,867
It's done.
1072
00:36:28,867 --> 00:36:31,867
[all] Ten, nine, eight...
1073
00:36:31,867 --> 00:36:33,100
With 10 seconds left,
1074
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:35,033
we need to get
one more egg peeled.
1075
00:36:35,033 --> 00:36:36,233
[all] Seven...
1076
00:36:36,233 --> 00:36:38,033
[Bobby] And then, literally,
you notice
1077
00:36:38,033 --> 00:36:39,934
that the bread
is over at Eddie's station.
1078
00:36:40,967 --> 00:36:42,500
Oh, my God.
1079
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:46,133
[all] ...four, three,
two, one.
1080
00:36:52,834 --> 00:36:54,166
[all] Six, five, four...
1081
00:36:54,166 --> 00:36:55,467
[Bobby] Literally,
with two seconds left,
1082
00:36:55,467 --> 00:36:57,567
the bread is not on the plate.
1083
00:36:57,567 --> 00:36:59,266
[all] ...three, two...
1084
00:36:59,266 --> 00:37:00,333
[Eddie] I'm putting
the egg down
1085
00:37:00,333 --> 00:37:03,266
and I see this bread
flying in the air.
1086
00:37:03,266 --> 00:37:04,400
[all] ...one.
1087
00:37:05,767 --> 00:37:07,767
And it totally
missed the plate.
1088
00:37:07,767 --> 00:37:09,500
You threw 'em over there?
1089
00:37:09,500 --> 00:37:11,033
I was throwing 'em to you,
but you weren't looking.
1090
00:37:11,033 --> 00:37:13,233
-[laughs]
-[Eddie] I was putting
the eggs...
1091
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:16,467
We did good.
1092
00:37:16,467 --> 00:37:21,367
It is a sexy brunch.
Sexy brunch, sexy brunch.
1093
00:37:21,367 --> 00:37:23,333
[laughs] What happened?
1094
00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:25,600
I realized that Eddie
wasn't a wide receiver.
1095
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,567
-He was a defensive back.
-[laughs]
1096
00:37:27,567 --> 00:37:29,400
[Bobby] So he didn't
catch 'em.
1097
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:31,834
We have some
good flavors though.
1098
00:37:31,834 --> 00:37:33,567
So, uh, we'll see
what happens.
1099
00:37:33,567 --> 00:37:36,166
[Maneet] Last year, both of us
got beaten by Bobby.
1100
00:37:36,166 --> 00:37:37,634
Not this year.
1101
00:37:41,166 --> 00:37:43,934
So tonight, we are celebrating
a holiday brunch.
1102
00:37:43,934 --> 00:37:46,100
Team Maneet, Team Dad.
1103
00:37:46,100 --> 00:37:47,100
[laughter]
1104
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,967
I'd like to introduce
you guys to the judges,
1105
00:37:48,967 --> 00:37:52,266
the chef and owner
of Pig & Khao, Leah Cohen.
1106
00:37:52,266 --> 00:37:56,066
Culinary director of Sona,
Hari Nayak.
1107
00:37:56,066 --> 00:37:58,166
James Beard Award
nominated chef,
1108
00:37:58,166 --> 00:37:59,867
Adrienne Cheatham.
1109
00:37:59,867 --> 00:38:01,166
[audience applauding]
1110
00:38:02,734 --> 00:38:06,567
So, judges, our challenge was
egg vindaloo and paranthas.
1111
00:38:06,567 --> 00:38:08,500
Please start with the first
meal in front of you.
1112
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:10,066
Don't mind if I do.
1113
00:38:18,033 --> 00:38:20,934
This is something
that I want to wake up to
1114
00:38:20,934 --> 00:38:22,567
every holiday morning.
1115
00:38:22,567 --> 00:38:25,266
The sauce has a really
great depth of flavor.
1116
00:38:25,266 --> 00:38:26,667
It's really well-balanced.
1117
00:38:26,667 --> 00:38:27,934
The eggs are cooked
really nicely.
1118
00:38:27,934 --> 00:38:30,400
They have that beautiful
yellow yolk.
1119
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,467
But for me,
the outside of the egg
1120
00:38:32,467 --> 00:38:34,166
is a little bit dry.
1121
00:38:34,166 --> 00:38:36,066
The paratha is amazing.
1122
00:38:36,066 --> 00:38:39,367
The layers, the flavor,
and the poha hash,
1123
00:38:39,367 --> 00:38:41,567
the flavor was great.
1124
00:38:41,567 --> 00:38:42,734
Maybe a little less peas.
1125
00:38:44,467 --> 00:38:46,367
This is such an amazing treat.
1126
00:38:46,367 --> 00:38:49,066
The flavor of the sauce,
it's the spice,
1127
00:38:49,066 --> 00:38:51,066
the sourness,
and the sweetness,
1128
00:38:51,066 --> 00:38:52,367
it's just perfectly balanced.
1129
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:55,667
The char on the egg itself,
um, I was not a big fan of.
1130
00:38:55,667 --> 00:38:58,166
It's a little chewy for me,
but the... This paratha,
1131
00:38:58,166 --> 00:39:00,467
paratha is, it's the star.
1132
00:39:00,467 --> 00:39:02,166
It's comforting for me.
1133
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,367
It's so convivial and fun
on a holiday morning.
1134
00:39:06,367 --> 00:39:09,266
I thought the paratha
was amazing.
1135
00:39:09,266 --> 00:39:11,767
The different layers,
the lamination on that.
1136
00:39:11,767 --> 00:39:13,834
The sauce of the vindaloo,
1137
00:39:13,834 --> 00:39:16,367
well, it's well-seasoned,
beautiful flavor.
1138
00:39:16,367 --> 00:39:19,166
I thought the egg
was cooked beautifully,
1139
00:39:19,166 --> 00:39:21,667
but the skin on it
was a little chewy.
1140
00:39:21,667 --> 00:39:25,233
Overall, this is a truly
beautiful holiday meal.
1141
00:39:27,266 --> 00:39:28,634
Please try the second meal.
1142
00:39:35,767 --> 00:39:38,367
So the cook on the egg
is perfect.
1143
00:39:38,367 --> 00:39:40,934
That jammy egg yolk
consistency.
1144
00:39:40,934 --> 00:39:42,767
I think the sauce
is great as well.
1145
00:39:42,767 --> 00:39:44,934
I love the heat and I love
the crispy bits in the rice.
1146
00:39:44,934 --> 00:39:46,667
I think it adds
a lot of texture.
1147
00:39:46,667 --> 00:39:48,734
I think all the flavors
are there.
1148
00:39:48,734 --> 00:39:50,867
But where's the paratha?
1149
00:39:50,867 --> 00:39:52,667
Right.
1150
00:39:52,667 --> 00:39:54,934
This is the best egg curry
and rice that I've had.
1151
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:56,667
It's beautiful.
1152
00:39:56,667 --> 00:39:59,367
Um, the sauce is so flavorful
1153
00:39:59,367 --> 00:40:01,667
and, uh, would love
to have some parathas.
1154
00:40:01,667 --> 00:40:02,900
It would make an amazing dish.
1155
00:40:03,834 --> 00:40:05,734
I think the colors
are beautiful.
1156
00:40:05,734 --> 00:40:08,266
The pickled red onion
adds a nice pop.
1157
00:40:08,266 --> 00:40:10,867
The green chutney adds
a lot of flavor
1158
00:40:10,867 --> 00:40:13,266
and the rice
is very comforting,
1159
00:40:13,266 --> 00:40:15,233
but it leaned
a little bit sweet.
1160
00:40:15,233 --> 00:40:18,734
I actually would've liked
more crispy bits on the rice.
1161
00:40:18,734 --> 00:40:22,567
I would've liked a little bit
more texture overall.
1162
00:40:22,567 --> 00:40:26,300
And, gosh, I really wanted
a paratha. [laughs]
1163
00:40:27,500 --> 00:40:28,767
Thank you for your comments.
1164
00:40:28,767 --> 00:40:30,834
And now we're gonna have
you guys vote.
1165
00:40:32,667 --> 00:40:35,166
I wanna beat Bobby so bad.
1166
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:36,166
We both do.
1167
00:40:36,166 --> 00:40:38,033
If this won't do it,
I don't know what will.
1168
00:40:38,033 --> 00:40:39,467
-We are not coming back.
-No.
1169
00:40:40,567 --> 00:40:42,634
[Sophie] So for this
Indian holiday brunch...
1170
00:40:43,834 --> 00:40:45,033
the winning team is...
1171
00:40:49,567 --> 00:40:50,667
Team Maneet.
1172
00:40:50,667 --> 00:40:53,567
[cheering and applauding]
1173
00:40:53,567 --> 00:40:54,734
[Bobby] Good job, dude.
1174
00:40:59,100 --> 00:41:01,734
The paratha won,
and it was a holiday feast
1175
00:41:01,734 --> 00:41:02,734
for us to enjoy.
1176
00:41:02,734 --> 00:41:03,767
Thank you.
1177
00:41:03,767 --> 00:41:05,266
Team Maneet,
how do you guys feel?
1178
00:41:05,266 --> 00:41:06,567
Redemption.
1179
00:41:06,567 --> 00:41:08,400
This year we came,
we conquered.
1180
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,133
[Bobby] Just wanna say
one thing.
1181
00:41:12,867 --> 00:41:15,767
Eddie Jackson's paranthas
were amazing.
1182
00:41:15,767 --> 00:41:19,467
I threw 'em at him
and he didn't catch 'em.
1183
00:41:19,467 --> 00:41:20,533
[laughter]
1184
00:41:21,767 --> 00:41:23,467
All right, you guys,
give it up for Team Maneet.
1185
00:41:23,467 --> 00:41:24,767
[Leah] Yes.
1186
00:41:24,767 --> 00:41:25,900
[audience cheering]
1187
00:41:27,367 --> 00:41:29,133
Can we just,
like, stay together?
1188
00:41:29,133 --> 00:41:30,567
Actually, Bobby
can just go home.
1189
00:41:30,567 --> 00:41:32,233
We'll take over
the whole thing, you know.
1190
00:41:32,867 --> 00:41:34,133
-[Bobby speaking]
-Oh.
1191
00:41:34,133 --> 00:41:35,233
[laughs]
1192
00:41:35,233 --> 00:41:37,767
I think the only one thing
we can say is happy holidays,
1193
00:41:37,767 --> 00:41:39,066
for us at least.
1194
00:41:39,834 --> 00:41:41,800
Enjoy your coal, Bobby.
1195
00:41:43,166 --> 00:41:44,333
We did it. We won.
1196
00:41:44,333 --> 00:41:46,367
Maneet and Zac,
they crushed him.
1197
00:41:46,367 --> 00:41:48,467
What's left to do?
1198
00:41:48,467 --> 00:41:49,567
Brunch?
1199
00:41:49,567 --> 00:41:50,634
[glasses clink]
1200
00:41:50,634 --> 00:41:55,467
[both] We are Team Maneet
and we just beat Bobby Flay.
1201
00:41:55,467 --> 00:41:57,266
-Yeah!
-[audience cheering]
1202
00:41:57,266 --> 00:41:59,266
[camera shutter clicks]
