Grab your ingredients.
Grab what you need.

- Ok.
203
00:07:54,741 --> 00:07:58,677
The platform drops,
and it's just like pandemonium.
204
00:07:58,712 --> 00:07:59,778
- Salmon, salmon, salmon.
205
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,847

- We got salmon.

you need that.

I'm absolutely overwhelmed
because it's so full

I grabbed vermicelli noodles.

protein's over there?

- [bleep]!
235
00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:03,775
By the time
I'm done grabbing,
236
00:09:03,844 --> 00:09:05,443
That platform
starts going down
237
00:09:05,546 --> 00:09:07,679
Before I can even decide
on a protein.
238
00:09:07,781 --> 00:09:10,181
And I'm just thinking,
oh, my god.
239
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:13,552
- You know when
the light turns green,

- There it is.

00:09:19,459 --> 00:09:20,926
Ok, what do we got?
244
00:09:21,028 --> 00:09:23,094
What kind of classic chinese
dish maybe are we inspired by?
245
00:09:23,163 --> 00:09:25,330
Are we looking for noodles?
Are we looking for rice?
246
00:09:25,432 --> 00:09:28,567
- I get really lucky
and find squid,
247
00:09:28,669 --> 00:09:31,303
Which I feel like is a gem that
they missed out on up there.
248
00:09:31,371 --> 00:09:32,370
- Are we gonna grab
a protein?
249
00:09:32,472 --> 00:09:33,504
- Proteins anywhere?
250
00:09:33,507 --> 00:09:34,940
I'm looking around
the platform.
251
00:09:35,008 --> 00:09:37,676
I'm shouting, protein,
protein, anyone?
252
00:09:37,744 --> 00:09:39,311
I don't see a protein anywhere.
253
00:09:39,346 --> 00:09:40,912
- Five seconds.
- What can I make?
254
00:09:40,981 --> 00:09:43,515
What can I make?
I grab frog legs.
255
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:45,250
But I've never made
a frog legs.
256
00:09:45,352 --> 00:09:48,153
So I kept grabbing stuff that
I don't know how to make.
257
00:09:48,221 --> 00:09:50,088
- You can grab it
until it goes.
258
00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:51,856
Grab it until it goes.
There we go.
259
00:09:51,959 --> 00:09:54,192
- I don't have a protein.
260
00:09:54,261 --> 00:09:56,528
All right, I'm going no
protein for this one.
261
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:58,129
- You didn't get a protein?
- No protein.
262
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:00,865
I have basically
none of the key things
263
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:04,736
That I need to make a
next-level chinese dish.
264
00:10:04,838 --> 00:10:06,805
Oh.
265
00:10:06,873 --> 00:10:09,975
- Ok. Cassie, protein-wise,
what'd you get?
266
00:10:10,077 --> 00:10:12,243
- I did not get a protein.
- You didn't get a protein.
267
00:10:12,312 --> 00:10:13,545
- Um...
268
00:10:13,647 --> 00:10:14,879
- What did you grab?
269
00:10:14,948 --> 00:10:16,214
- A lot of sauces.
270
00:10:16,316 --> 00:10:17,349
- Sauces.
271
00:10:19,686 --> 00:10:21,219
- Coming for you guys.
- I know you are.
272
00:10:21,321 --> 00:10:24,022
- What is that?
Is that a whole fish?
273
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:25,256
- There's a whole fish.
274
00:10:25,359 --> 00:10:27,659
Oh, my god,
there's a whole fish.
275
00:10:27,761 --> 00:10:29,160
- Are you kidding me?
276
00:10:29,229 --> 00:10:31,062
It's just like, hey,
chris, you know?
277
00:10:31,164 --> 00:10:33,231
I'm right up here.
Come and get me.
278
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,408
- Oh, my god,
there is an entire fish
279
00:10:43,477 --> 00:10:45,310
Just laying there,
280
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:48,146
Perfect, ready for me to grab.
281
00:10:48,248 --> 00:10:49,314
There's a whole fish there.
282
00:10:49,383 --> 00:10:50,882
- If you can get it,
it's on our floor.
283
00:10:50,917 --> 00:10:53,752
That's the rule.
Vinny, holds her legs.
284
00:10:53,854 --> 00:10:55,387
Come on, vinny.
285
00:11:01,995 --> 00:11:04,496
- At the same time
as I'm looking over,
286
00:11:04,598 --> 00:11:07,465
Chef blais is looking up
from me from the basement.
287
00:11:07,501 --> 00:11:08,867
- Hey, who's up there?
288
00:11:08,935 --> 00:11:10,268
Hey, can you--you
want to send it down?
289
00:11:10,303 --> 00:11:11,870
Can you knock the fish down?
- No, we're taking it.
290
00:11:11,938 --> 00:11:14,539
Sorry. Sorry, chef.
291
00:11:14,641 --> 00:11:17,175
- You got lucky right there.
- You got lucky!
292
00:11:17,277 --> 00:11:20,245
[applause, chatter]
293
00:11:21,314 --> 00:11:25,216
- Kiss the fish because you
are saving my ass today.
294
00:11:25,318 --> 00:11:26,518
A little baby.
295
00:11:26,553 --> 00:11:28,420
A little baby.
- I just barely know my name.
296
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:30,522
- I don't know what I'm
going to do with you,
297
00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:31,589
But I love you.
298
00:11:31,625 --> 00:11:33,792
- They took it.
- They did.
299
00:11:34,795 --> 00:11:36,227
Listen, listen.
300
00:11:36,296 --> 00:11:38,029
- Someone's getting
it dirty today.
301
00:11:38,065 --> 00:11:39,664
At this point, I'm
stuck with what I got,
302
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:40,799
And I gotta work with it.
303
00:11:40,867 --> 00:11:42,033
Someone's [bleep]
going down today.
304
00:11:42,102 --> 00:11:43,835
Someone's going
[bleep] down today.
305
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:45,437
I got to make sure that I can
simply just keep myself
306
00:11:45,472 --> 00:11:47,338
Out of elimination because
this is not the way
307
00:11:47,441 --> 00:11:49,107
Chris is going out,
absolutely not.
308
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:51,743
- 45 minutes starts now.
309
00:11:51,845 --> 00:11:53,344
Let's go, guys.
310
00:11:53,447 --> 00:11:54,579
Omi, what are we making today?
311
00:11:54,681 --> 00:11:57,449
- I'm thinking shrimp,
soy, and garlic noodles.
312
00:11:57,517 --> 00:11:58,917
- Ok.
I believe in you.
313
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:00,418
Do you believe in you?
- I believe in me.
314
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,053
- Ok.
What do we got, shay?
315
00:12:02,155 --> 00:12:04,255
- I got garlic,
bok choy, noodles, duck.
316
00:12:04,357 --> 00:12:05,657
- With duck,
you really only need
317
00:12:05,759 --> 00:12:08,193
To cook one side because duck
is a pretty lean protein.
318
00:12:08,261 --> 00:12:10,261
- Do I cook duck
breast at home?
319
00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:11,629
Absolutely freaking not.
320
00:12:11,665 --> 00:12:13,465
But this is "next level chef."
321
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,300
Let's go outside
our comfort zone a bit.
322
00:12:15,402 --> 00:12:16,634
- What you got?
What you got?
323
00:12:16,670 --> 00:12:17,802
- I got monkfish, chef.
- Love that.
324
00:12:17,871 --> 00:12:19,104
- But I have a question.
- Tell me.
325
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:21,306
- If I steam it with
the season on, will it...
326
00:12:21,341 --> 00:12:23,241
- Be great.
- Come off? Ok, great.
327
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:25,143
I do not want to use
the immunity pin.
328
00:12:25,145 --> 00:12:27,479
I want to keep the pin
as long as I can.
329
00:12:27,547 --> 00:12:29,414
I need to make sure
I'm on the top of my game.
330
00:12:29,516 --> 00:12:30,715
- What do we got, pitbull p?
331
00:12:30,751 --> 00:12:32,150
- Mongolian beef, chef.
332
00:12:32,185 --> 00:12:33,785
- Have you made
this dish before?
333
00:12:33,887 --> 00:12:35,019
- Yes, I have, chef.
- Excellent.
334
00:12:35,122 --> 00:12:36,521
Chinese cooking.
- Yes, chef.
335
00:12:36,590 --> 00:12:38,189
- How familiar are we?
- I'm familiar.
336
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:40,592
I had a mentor that was
thai and chinese, so...
337
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:42,093
- You did?
- I'm doing this for him.
338
00:12:42,195 --> 00:12:43,661
- That's where that
mongolian beef came from.
339
00:12:43,764 --> 00:12:44,996
- Yes, chef.
340
00:12:45,031 --> 00:12:47,632
- My name's pilar omega.
I'm from detroit.
341
00:12:47,701 --> 00:12:49,000
I live in los angeles.
342
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:50,435
And I'm a private
executive chef.
343
00:12:51,204 --> 00:12:53,071
Growing up, food played a
very big role in my life.
344
00:12:53,173 --> 00:12:55,039
Everybody in my family cooks.
345
00:12:55,075 --> 00:12:57,876
We had soul food dinners,
we do barbecues.
346
00:12:57,911 --> 00:12:59,310
So you have to figure
out what you're
347
00:12:59,412 --> 00:13:01,212
Going to contribute to dinner.
348
00:13:01,314 --> 00:13:03,948
As a woman of color
in the culinary world,
349
00:13:03,984 --> 00:13:07,619
It's been rough,
but I just kept fighting.
350
00:13:07,687 --> 00:13:09,287
And then I had
the opportunity to go
351
00:13:09,389 --> 00:13:10,855
To wolfgang puck catering.
352
00:13:10,957 --> 00:13:13,191
I would do like action
stations at the oscars,
353
00:13:13,226 --> 00:13:15,794
The emmy awards,
the movie premieres,
354
00:13:15,862 --> 00:13:18,596
Cooking with heart and soul
every single day.
355
00:13:18,665 --> 00:13:20,331
I'm a single mom.
356
00:13:20,433 --> 00:13:21,733
It's just all
about me and my baby girl.
357
00:13:21,835 --> 00:13:23,334
She's my daily motivation.
358
00:13:23,436 --> 00:13:24,869
I do it for her.
359
00:13:24,938 --> 00:13:27,505
I wanna show her that
giving up is never an option.
360
00:13:27,541 --> 00:13:30,475
Success doesn't come easy.
Hard work pays off.
361
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:32,243
And I'm ready to just
show the world
362
00:13:32,312 --> 00:13:35,180
That you never know what can
come out of [indistinct].
363
00:13:35,282 --> 00:13:37,015
So I'm ready to cook.
364
00:13:40,854 --> 00:13:42,821
- All right, michelle, you got
what you wanted, right?
365
00:13:42,956 --> 00:13:44,422
- I did.
I grabbed ground pork,
366
00:13:44,524 --> 00:13:46,157
But I also have
these beautiful mushrooms.
367
00:13:46,193 --> 00:13:48,560
- Nice.
Cassie, you got lucky.
368
00:13:48,628 --> 00:13:50,361
Tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
369
00:13:50,430 --> 00:13:52,063
- I'm making
a hand-pulled noodle,
370
00:13:52,165 --> 00:13:53,765
Which is one of my
favorite dishes.
371
00:13:53,834 --> 00:13:55,366
It signifies long life
in my culture,
372
00:13:55,435 --> 00:13:57,368
Which I hope
to have in this competition.
373
00:13:57,437 --> 00:13:59,838
That's going to be what sets me
apart from these other chefs.
374
00:13:59,873 --> 00:14:01,940
Nobody else would dare to make
375
00:14:02,008 --> 00:14:04,175
A hand-pulled noodle
in 45 minutes.
376
00:14:04,277 --> 00:14:06,744
- Have you been cooking chinese
since you were a little girl?
377
00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:08,379
- I was not a big
fan of it growing up.
378
00:14:08,415 --> 00:14:10,982
I think I let kids kind of
bully me into thinking
379
00:14:11,017 --> 00:14:12,717
That I was embarrassed
of my culture
380
00:14:12,786 --> 00:14:14,652
And embarrassed of the food
that I would bring to school.
381
00:14:14,754 --> 00:14:16,020
- That's crazy.
382
00:14:16,089 --> 00:14:18,489
- And growing up, I just
started to really take pride
383
00:14:18,592 --> 00:14:19,724
In my culture
and realized that this
384
00:14:19,826 --> 00:14:21,092
Is the most wonderful cuisine.
385
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:23,528
Chinese food is something
that I haven't always loved,
386
00:14:23,630 --> 00:14:26,731
But today I want to really
represent my culture
387
00:14:26,833 --> 00:14:28,867
And make everyone proud.
388
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:31,069
- All right, preston, tell me.
- Yes, chef.
389
00:14:31,104 --> 00:14:32,737
- You grabbed neck of lamb,
and you've got the pork belly.
390
00:14:32,839 --> 00:14:34,939
- I'm just trying to make
a nice stir-fry dish.
391
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:36,741
- What's that?
- This is going to be my glaze.
392
00:14:36,843 --> 00:14:38,443
Chicken broth, bay leaf.
393
00:14:38,511 --> 00:14:40,945
- Nice.
Don't overcomplicate it.
394
00:14:41,014 --> 00:14:42,480
- Yes, chef.
- Right, vinny.
395
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:43,581
- Yes, chef, here I am.
396
00:14:43,683 --> 00:14:44,749
- Tell me what'd
you get, big man?
397
00:14:44,784 --> 00:14:46,751
- I got a nice flank steak.
- Good.
398
00:14:46,786 --> 00:14:48,119
- Chef, I do have
a question for you.
399
00:14:48,188 --> 00:14:50,221
I've never worked
with black rice.
400
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:52,123
- Why pick the most
difficult rice to set?
401
00:14:52,192 --> 00:14:53,791
- I didn't--I just--
right in front of me,
402
00:14:53,860 --> 00:14:54,993
And I grabbed it, and I...
403
00:14:55,028 --> 00:14:56,427
- It's a two-hour cook,
that stuff.
404
00:14:56,463 --> 00:14:58,162
Jimmy--because it has to
overcook to sort of cook,
405
00:14:58,231 --> 00:15:00,098
As you know. Yeah?
- Yes, chef.
406
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,166
- I've never heard of it,
never cooked with it.
407
00:15:02,269 --> 00:15:04,869
I mean, who put
black rice up there?
408
00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:05,970
We're going to
have some issues.
409
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,472
- Of all the rices
to cook, young man,
410
00:15:07,507 --> 00:15:08,773
You've gone for
the longest one.
411
00:15:09,876 --> 00:15:12,110
- All right, matt,
what are we up to?
412
00:15:12,145 --> 00:15:15,313
- I'm gonna steam these
beautiful cod cheeks.
413
00:15:15,382 --> 00:15:17,382
And I'm taking
the plum sauce, xo sauce.
414
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:18,783
I'm going to season these.
415
00:15:18,818 --> 00:15:20,551
- Be careful that it doesn't
become too sweet, right?
416
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:23,054
- Ok. I'm doing rice.
I'm doing an orange zest rice.
417
00:15:23,156 --> 00:15:24,422
- How many kids do you have?
How much have you...
418
00:15:24,457 --> 00:15:25,757
- Two.
- Ok, you got a big family?
419
00:15:25,825 --> 00:15:27,158
You cook for a lot of people?
- Yeah.
420
00:15:27,227 --> 00:15:28,259
- You're not cooking for--
you're cooking
421
00:15:28,295 --> 00:15:29,494
For three people.
- Big portions.
422
00:15:29,596 --> 00:15:30,662
I know, chef.
- One dish for three people.
423
00:15:30,697 --> 00:15:31,663
- Yep, it was the
first thing my wife
424
00:15:31,698 --> 00:15:33,031
Said to me when I left.
425
00:15:33,066 --> 00:15:34,265
- Well, listen to your wife,
matt!
426
00:15:34,367 --> 00:15:35,333
- I know. I do.
427
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:36,668
- We're all better
when we listen
428
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:37,702
To our significant others.
- 100% of the time.
429
00:15:37,804 --> 00:15:38,903
I know.
- Listen to your wife.
430
00:15:39,005 --> 00:15:40,204
You don't need to cook
a quart of rice.
431
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:41,439
- Yes.
432
00:15:41,508 --> 00:15:42,774
- Matt is making staff
meal again for us.
433
00:15:42,876 --> 00:15:44,976
- I got you all.
- Family meal.
434
00:15:45,078 --> 00:15:47,979
- I order chinese.
I don't cook chinese.
435
00:15:48,081 --> 00:15:49,914
So I'm nervous.
436
00:15:51,751 --> 00:15:53,685
- What's the adventures
of tini up to over here?
437
00:15:53,753 --> 00:15:55,386
- Grabbing stuff
I don't know how to cook.
438
00:15:55,422 --> 00:15:56,587
- Have you cooked
frog's legs before?
439
00:15:56,656 --> 00:15:58,022
- No. I'm taking risk.
440
00:15:58,158 --> 00:15:59,791
Like, I wanted to take risk.
441
00:15:59,859 --> 00:16:03,061
I've never even seen frog legs
before, just on a living frog.
442
00:16:03,096 --> 00:16:05,229
But it's "next level chef."
443
00:16:05,298 --> 00:16:06,531
It's all about
taking risk here.
444
00:16:06,633 --> 00:16:08,099
- All right, chris,
what are you doing?
445
00:16:08,168 --> 00:16:09,534
- All right,
so we have no protein,
446
00:16:09,636 --> 00:16:11,669
So we're going to be doing
a veggie brown fried rice.
447
00:16:11,705 --> 00:16:13,304
- Rice is going to
take a little bit of time.
448
00:16:13,340 --> 00:16:14,939
You know that.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
449
00:16:14,975 --> 00:16:16,274
- Who you cooking
for back home?
450
00:16:16,343 --> 00:16:17,742
- Honestly, I'm just here
to cook for all the haters
451
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:19,510
That told me I couldn't.
So this one's for the haters.
452
00:16:19,546 --> 00:16:20,745
- All right.
- This one's for
453
00:16:20,814 --> 00:16:22,413
The damn haters.
454
00:16:22,515 --> 00:16:24,782
I'm chris, I'm from
west palm beach, florida,
455
00:16:24,851 --> 00:16:25,984
And I'm a professional chef.
456
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:28,820
Growing up,
I was a very shy kid.
457
00:16:28,855 --> 00:16:30,221
I was a band geek.
458
00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:31,656
Was always picked on.
459
00:16:31,758 --> 00:16:33,691
After college, on a whim,
I went to a culinary school
460
00:16:33,793 --> 00:16:35,226
In new york city.
461
00:16:35,261 --> 00:16:36,861
Eight months later,
I got my career certificate.
462
00:16:36,930 --> 00:16:39,430
I just started hacking away
at the industry after that.
463
00:16:39,466 --> 00:16:41,199
Working in professional
kitchens in new york city
464
00:16:41,267 --> 00:16:42,400
Is tough.
465
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:43,668
I found my voice
and my confidence
466
00:16:43,737 --> 00:16:45,603
When I was getting
my ass handed to me
467
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:48,106
By all the different cooks
that I was working alongside.
468
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:52,110
It forced me to go from
that timid, quiet kid
469
00:16:52,178 --> 00:16:54,946
Into someone who tells
someone to get out of the way
470
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:56,614
When they need to.
471
00:16:56,716 --> 00:16:57,949
I have a chip on my shoulder,
472
00:16:58,018 --> 00:16:59,884
And I am always trying
to prove myself.
473
00:16:59,953 --> 00:17:02,653
Colleagues have told me,
you're an absolute psycho,
474
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:04,389
Yet your food is dynamite.
475
00:17:04,457 --> 00:17:06,324
Whenever anyone doubts me,
476
00:17:06,426 --> 00:17:08,826
That's just more fuel
for the fire.
477
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:10,962
They want magic?
478
00:17:11,064 --> 00:17:12,497
I'll show them magic.
479
00:17:12,532 --> 00:17:14,899
- What'd you get?
- I got a sea bass.
480
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:16,701
- Oh, man.
You can marinate it, fry it.
481
00:17:16,736 --> 00:17:18,269
And it is the bacon of the sea.
482
00:17:18,304 --> 00:17:19,837
That is flavorsome.
483
00:17:19,906 --> 00:17:21,072
What are you doing with this?
484
00:17:21,141 --> 00:17:23,541
- Man, I'm just...
485
00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:24,809
I have no plan right now.
486
00:17:24,911 --> 00:17:26,878
I don't make chinese food.
487
00:17:26,946 --> 00:17:28,613
- What starches--are you
doing, rice or...
488
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:31,416
- I didn't get a rice.
- You didn't get a rice.
489
00:17:31,518 --> 00:17:32,950
- You got one of the
best ingredients here,
490
00:17:32,986 --> 00:17:34,819
So I'm expecting
fireworks on this plate.
491
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:36,020
- Yes, chef. Yes, chef.
- Ok?
492
00:17:36,056 --> 00:17:39,223
- My rice needs to
hurry the [bleep] up.
493
00:17:39,292 --> 00:17:40,291
- Not the best start for vinny.
494
00:17:40,393 --> 00:17:42,593
He's grabbed the
black sticky rice.
495
00:17:42,662 --> 00:17:43,628
He's in trouble.
496
00:17:43,663 --> 00:17:45,263
That thing takes
two hours to cook,
497
00:17:45,331 --> 00:17:46,798
And he's trying to get
it cooked in 20 minutes.
498
00:17:46,866 --> 00:17:47,832
Is it cooked?
499
00:17:47,867 --> 00:17:49,033
- Let's see.
- Is it cooked?
500
00:17:49,069 --> 00:17:50,735
- No.
- No, I told you.
501
00:17:50,837 --> 00:17:52,070
Lid back on.
502
00:17:52,906 --> 00:17:54,272
[bleep]
503
00:17:54,307 --> 00:17:55,506
Vinny, it's like bullets.
504
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:58,376
- I'm praying that the
rice cooked properly,
505
00:17:58,478 --> 00:17:59,977
But we need a miracle today.
506
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,579
- Why don't we fry it?
Let's get a pan on.
507
00:18:01,614 --> 00:18:03,781
Let's fry. Let's fry,
let's fry, let's fry.
508
00:18:03,817 --> 00:18:05,817
Come on, vinny,
the house is on fire.
509
00:18:11,825 --> 00:18:13,925
- 25 minutes left, team, ok?
510
00:18:14,027 --> 00:18:15,059
- Yes, chef!
511
00:18:15,095 --> 00:18:16,861
- Let's do it, guys.
512
00:18:16,896 --> 00:18:19,764
- Guys, you are all missing
a crucial ingredient.
513
00:18:19,866 --> 00:18:21,899
It's time for the
mid-round mayhem.
514
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:24,836
Platform's coming down.
515
00:18:24,904 --> 00:18:27,438
15 types of ginger.
516
00:18:27,507 --> 00:18:29,740
- Oh, yeah.
- I love it, love it, love it.
517
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,142
- I love that.
518
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:32,443
- I'm thinking
there's only one ginger.
519
00:18:32,512 --> 00:18:35,179
I've only ever bought
but one ginger.
520
00:18:35,248 --> 00:18:37,348
I didn't know there
was so many options.
521
00:18:37,383 --> 00:18:39,550
- Scallions,
scallions, scallions.
522
00:18:39,586 --> 00:18:41,886
- Scallions.
I love this, here we go.
523
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:45,289
- Dry ginger's over here,
guys.
524
00:18:45,391 --> 00:18:46,657
Turmeric's over here, guys.
Grab, grab.
525
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:48,226
Everybody got scallions?
Grab.
526
00:18:48,261 --> 00:18:50,261
- That's great.
Let's do it.
527
00:18:50,330 --> 00:18:52,263
Let's go.
- Let's go, ginger.
528
00:18:52,332 --> 00:18:54,265
- Let's go, baby.
529
00:18:54,300 --> 00:18:57,869
- 15 types of ginger
on its way down.
530
00:18:57,904 --> 00:18:59,137
- Yes, green onion.
531
00:18:59,239 --> 00:19:00,872
Perfect.
That's something that I was
532
00:19:00,940 --> 00:19:02,173
Missing from my dish.
533
00:19:02,242 --> 00:19:03,975
- Scallions, ginger.
- You guys got green onions?
534
00:19:04,010 --> 00:19:05,843
Rock sugar.
The rock sugar is amazing.
535
00:19:05,945 --> 00:19:07,445
- Grab some crystallized
ginger as well.
536
00:19:07,547 --> 00:19:09,380
And...Good. Well done!
537
00:19:09,449 --> 00:19:11,182
Well done.
538
00:19:11,217 --> 00:19:13,818
- Ok, everyone,
the platform is here.
539
00:19:13,887 --> 00:19:16,854
You got to utilize one of
the 15 varieties of ginger
540
00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:18,389
That are on the platform.
541
00:19:18,458 --> 00:19:20,024
Hey, also, there's
scallions on the platform.
542
00:19:20,059 --> 00:19:21,526
- Scallions.
543
00:19:21,628 --> 00:19:24,028
- They put some scallions in
the corners there just for me.
544
00:19:24,097 --> 00:19:25,830
- Five seconds left.
545
00:19:25,899 --> 00:19:27,498
Ginger and scallions.
546
00:19:27,567 --> 00:19:28,499
Yes.
547
00:19:28,535 --> 00:19:31,235
- Oh, this is about to get lit.
548
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:32,670
- Chef pilar.
- Yes, chef.
549
00:19:32,705 --> 00:19:34,539
- What's the next step
in your mongolian beef?
550
00:19:34,607 --> 00:19:35,873
- I'm going to
toss it in a sauce
551
00:19:35,942 --> 00:19:37,008
And bring it all together.
552
00:19:38,478 --> 00:19:39,944
- Did you taste this?
- Yes, chef.
553
00:19:40,013 --> 00:19:41,245
- Taste it again.
554
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:44,382
It needs more...
- Salt.
555
00:19:44,450 --> 00:19:47,151
- Yes, it does.
Let's go, p. Bring it home.
556
00:19:47,187 --> 00:19:48,286
Bring that vision to life.
557
00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:49,587
- Yes, chef.
558
00:19:49,622 --> 00:19:51,889
I had a mentor that
taught me chinese food.
559
00:19:51,991 --> 00:19:54,192
I was in a very
tender situation.
560
00:19:54,227 --> 00:19:56,527
I was coming from maternity
leave, just had a baby,
561
00:19:56,629 --> 00:19:58,429
And he was just so
compassionate with me.
562
00:19:58,464 --> 00:20:00,431
He said, go do your mama thing.
563
00:20:00,466 --> 00:20:02,033
He showed me how to do
564
00:20:02,068 --> 00:20:04,101
The chinese mother sauces
from scratch.
565
00:20:04,204 --> 00:20:06,604
So I'm doing it for him today.
566
00:20:06,673 --> 00:20:07,805
- That's nice.
567
00:20:09,142 --> 00:20:10,341
- Ten minutes left.
568
00:20:10,443 --> 00:20:11,876
Chris, have you cooked
chinese food before?
569
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:13,544
- Honest to god, I make
probably the most kick ass
570
00:20:13,646 --> 00:20:15,613
Ginger fried rice people have
ever had in their entire lives.
571
00:20:15,715 --> 00:20:16,781
- Yeah, you going to
get that rice cooked?
572
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:18,115
It's a lot of rice.
573
00:20:18,151 --> 00:20:19,350
You only got a little
bit of time left, yeah?
574
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:20,952
- Heard that, heard that.
- Get this on there.
575
00:20:20,987 --> 00:20:22,253
Little bit of citrus
in the rice.
576
00:20:22,355 --> 00:20:24,055
Get this on.
Get a pot on top of it.
577
00:20:24,157 --> 00:20:25,623
- Oh, [bleep].
- Hey, if you're cooking rice,
578
00:20:25,725 --> 00:20:28,826
Get a top on it, because raw
rice--you're going straight to
579
00:20:28,861 --> 00:20:30,261
The elimination.
580
00:20:30,363 --> 00:20:32,463
- Just lightly glaze
only on the skin, ok?
581
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:34,832
- Heard.
- I said glaze it.
582
00:20:34,867 --> 00:20:36,601
- Glaze it, yes.
- It's here.
583
00:20:36,636 --> 00:20:38,436
- I'm just antsy, ok?
584
00:20:38,504 --> 00:20:40,037
- Bring it together.
You got this.
585
00:20:40,073 --> 00:20:41,072
- Thank you.
586
00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:42,440
- So it's taking
some time for shay
587
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:44,108
To figure out
his direction today.
588
00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:45,610
I think the nerves
are heightened.
589
00:20:45,678 --> 00:20:48,145
In this top level, it's not
actually easier sometimes,
590
00:20:48,248 --> 00:20:50,481
But he's got to
pull this together.
591
00:20:50,516 --> 00:20:52,049
- We're down to
five minutes to go.
592
00:20:52,118 --> 00:20:53,184
- Yes, chef.
593
00:20:53,286 --> 00:20:54,318
- Start thinking
about the plating.
594
00:20:54,354 --> 00:20:55,319
- Bring it home, guys.
595
00:20:55,355 --> 00:20:56,487
Bring it home.
596
00:20:56,556 --> 00:20:57,588
- Cassie, come on.
597
00:20:57,690 --> 00:20:58,990
Get it authentic now.
- Yes, chef.
598
00:20:59,092 --> 00:21:00,424
- Time's not your friend.
Let's go.
599
00:21:00,526 --> 00:21:01,859
What's up, matt?
Oh, [bleep].
600
00:21:01,928 --> 00:21:03,628
- Sorry, chef.
- What are you doing?
601
00:21:03,663 --> 00:21:04,829
You put the egg at the end.
602
00:21:04,864 --> 00:21:07,064
- Cookin', cookin'.
603
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:09,100
- All right, we want to get
out of the basement, everyone,
604
00:21:09,202 --> 00:21:10,134
Right?
- Yes, chef.
605
00:21:10,236 --> 00:21:11,802
- I mean, if we
go down to three,
606
00:21:11,871 --> 00:21:13,337
That would be unheard of.
607
00:21:13,439 --> 00:21:14,939
- We're down to the
last two minutes.
608
00:21:15,041 --> 00:21:16,507
Let's go!
609
00:21:16,576 --> 00:21:18,309
Start plating, guys.
- We're plating.
610
00:21:18,344 --> 00:21:19,510
- Hot, walking hot.
611
00:21:19,579 --> 00:21:22,313
- Put that down with
both hands all the time.
612
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:24,282
That's slightly undercooked.
613
00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:25,750
Get it back in the pan.
614
00:21:25,818 --> 00:21:27,551
Please, get it in the pan.
615
00:21:27,587 --> 00:21:29,954
Turn the gas up after.
Get it in the pan.
616
00:21:29,989 --> 00:21:32,123
- Not looking good
for mark mcmillian.
617
00:21:32,191 --> 00:21:33,624
- Get it in the pan!
618
00:21:33,726 --> 00:21:35,059
Stop shoving it around.
619
00:21:35,161 --> 00:21:36,394
In.
- Just got to recover.
620
00:21:36,429 --> 00:21:37,395
We good, chef.
621
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:39,897
- Let's go, guys.

- So let's start plating, team.

One minute left, guys.
624

- Breathe, shay, breathe,
breathe, breathe.
625
00:21:48,041 --> 00:21:48,939
- Make it elegant.
626
00:21:49,042 --> 00:21:51,042
Make it beautiful, ok?
627
00:21:51,077 --> 00:21:53,077
It matters what it looks like.

But it is the most

Ready to taste today, chef?

- Richard.
Let's start on the top floor.

00:23:38,718 --> 00:23:40,418
What happened here?
677
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,386
- So this chef
actually had to throw
678
00:23:42,455 --> 00:23:44,221
His dish onto the platform.
679
00:23:44,323 --> 00:23:46,457
So the presentation
was obviously ruined.

- Damn.
- So we have here
681
00:23:48,294 --> 00:23:50,628
A pan-roasted duck.
682
00:23:50,663 --> 00:23:53,030
This is with
a stir-fried noodle.
683
00:23:53,099 --> 00:23:54,398

cooked beautifully.

00:23:54,434 --> 00:23:55,833
It's pink.
685
00:23:55,902 --> 00:23:57,968

I'd love to have seen this dish

00:24:00,706 --> 00:24:02,706
The makings of a winning dish.
688
00:24:02,742 --> 00:24:07,011
- Are my flavors enough to keep
me from going to elimination?
689
00:24:07,113 --> 00:24:08,579
Ugh. I'm sweating.
690
00:24:08,614 --> 00:24:09,847
I don't know.
691
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:13,184
- Next up, we have
a stir-fried udon noodle
692
00:24:13,252 --> 00:24:14,819
With steamed monkfish.
693
00:24:14,887 --> 00:24:16,887
- Noodle's delicious,
really delicious.
694
00:24:16,989 --> 00:24:20,224
- The steamed fish just
didn't cook quite long enough.
695
00:24:20,293 --> 00:24:24,662
- Next up, we have
a sweet and sour chicken.
696
00:24:24,697 --> 00:24:26,063
- One of my favorites.
697
00:24:26,098 --> 00:24:28,232
- The flavor's
packed into the dish
698
00:24:28,267 --> 00:24:29,667
Itself, and great texture.
699
00:24:29,702 --> 00:24:31,235
- Delicious.
700
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:34,472
- Next up here, we have a pork
and shrimp stir-fried noodle.
701
00:24:34,507 --> 00:24:36,440
- This looks like
an expensive dish
702
00:24:36,509 --> 00:24:38,542
In a fancy chinese
restaurant, for sure.
703
00:24:38,644 --> 00:24:40,277
- Delicious.
I love the pork.
704
00:24:40,313 --> 00:24:41,946
Really beautiful.
705
00:24:41,981 --> 00:24:45,483
- Here we have a
kumquat-glazed mongolian beef.
706
00:24:45,551 --> 00:24:48,786
- I think I'm a mongolian
meat connoisseur,
707
00:24:48,821 --> 00:24:51,722
But I've never tasted
something this good.
708
00:24:51,791 --> 00:24:53,390
- This thing is just
on a different level.
709
00:24:53,526 --> 00:24:55,159
Whoever's cooked
this dish tonight,
710
00:24:55,228 --> 00:24:57,027
There's a connect somewhere
that is evident on the plate,
711
00:24:57,096 --> 00:24:58,596
Because...Delicious.
712
00:24:58,631 --> 00:24:59,597
Really good.
713
00:24:59,632 --> 00:25:02,099
- My mentor will be so proud.
714
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:04,368
He taught me how to develop
those flavors
715
00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:07,338
In a very tender moment
in my career,
716
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,541
Leaving my baby at four months
to get back in the kitchen.
717
00:25:10,576 --> 00:25:13,310
So I finally feel like,
you know what,
718
00:25:13,346 --> 00:25:15,112
It has been worth it.
719
00:25:15,181 --> 00:25:16,780
- Shall we go on to
the middle floor?
720
00:25:16,816 --> 00:25:20,451
This is a sea bass marinated,
finished with an edamame bean
721
00:25:20,553 --> 00:25:22,119
Salad and a sauce.
722
00:25:22,221 --> 00:25:23,654
- The fish...
- Undercooked.
723
00:25:23,756 --> 00:25:25,356
- Barely cooked at best.
724
00:25:25,424 --> 00:25:27,992
- It doesn't necessarily
read chinese overall to me.
725
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:29,527
- The most chinese thing
about this dish to me
726
00:25:29,629 --> 00:25:31,095
Is the plate itself.
727
00:25:31,197 --> 00:25:32,396
- Man, I just frickin'
screwed it up.
728
00:25:32,465 --> 00:25:33,797
Feel like I let
myself down because
729
00:25:33,866 --> 00:25:35,833
I needed to nail this fish.
730
00:25:35,868 --> 00:25:37,668
Hopefully, my teammates
did a really good job
731
00:25:37,737 --> 00:25:40,137
So I won't have to go
to elimination.
732
00:25:40,239 --> 00:25:42,239
- This one, pork belly
with lamb neck.
733
00:25:43,442 --> 00:25:45,676
- I really appreciate
the citrus notes
734
00:25:45,711 --> 00:25:47,878
That are so prevalent
in this noodle dish.
735
00:25:47,914 --> 00:25:49,213
Absolutely phenomenal.
736
00:25:49,315 --> 00:25:50,548
- It's a fine-dining dish.
737
00:25:50,616 --> 00:25:52,116
- I'm on cloud nine right now.
738
00:25:52,151 --> 00:25:53,951
I feel like I'm starting to
finally step out
739
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:56,020
Of my comfort zone
in this competition.
740
00:25:56,122 --> 00:25:58,722
- This one is a pork chop.
741
00:25:58,791 --> 00:26:01,058
- The pork is cooked perfectly.
742
00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:04,261
Pork and five-spice
is a great combination.
743
00:26:04,297 --> 00:26:05,663
- Visually, outstanding.
744
00:26:05,698 --> 00:26:08,465
This young chef is creating
the next-level dishes
745
00:26:08,501 --> 00:26:10,701
Time and time again.
746
00:26:10,736 --> 00:26:13,837
This individual
took ground chili, pork,
747
00:26:13,906 --> 00:26:16,941
Stuffed it inside the oyster
mushroom, and baked.
748
00:26:16,976 --> 00:26:19,710
- The mixture inside needs
something to bind it.
749
00:26:19,745 --> 00:26:21,011
It's a little bit crumbly.
750
00:26:21,113 --> 00:26:23,948
- It's definitely
a fine-dining presentation.
751
00:26:23,983 --> 00:26:25,549
Love the crispy garlic.
752
00:26:25,585 --> 00:26:27,017
Looks great.
753
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,787
- This beautiful piece of
skirt steak was marinated.
754
00:26:29,822 --> 00:26:31,722
We were going to go down
the sticky black rice.
755
00:26:31,824 --> 00:26:34,024
Unfortunately, the rice was
sort of holding us back,
756
00:26:34,093 --> 00:26:36,093
So then we went into
this fried rice.
757
00:26:36,195 --> 00:26:37,595
- Bold call with that rice.
758
00:26:37,663 --> 00:26:39,496
It's a little toothsome,
but that's what
759
00:26:39,599 --> 00:26:40,998
This rice is supposed to be.
760
00:26:41,067 --> 00:26:42,399
- The beef is now...
761
00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:44,735
It's his best dish so far
in the competition.
762
00:26:44,837 --> 00:26:47,471
- Sweat off my brow.
I am so relieved.
763
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:49,840
That black rice--
I'll never cook with it again.
764
00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:52,443
- This is the sea bream.
765
00:26:52,511 --> 00:26:57,881
This was a bit of a mishap
that came back to become a hit.
766
00:26:57,950 --> 00:27:00,884
Handmade noodles,
gotta point out,
767
00:27:00,987 --> 00:27:02,319
Beautifully stretched, rolled,
768
00:27:02,421 --> 00:27:05,055
And done
with such authenticity.
769
00:27:05,124 --> 00:27:06,724
- Fish is cooked perfectly.
770
00:27:06,826 --> 00:27:08,359
This is a dish
that looks simple,
771
00:27:08,461 --> 00:27:10,294
But it's packing
so much flavor.
772
00:27:10,363 --> 00:27:11,729
- The broth is wonderful.
773
00:27:11,831 --> 00:27:14,031
Handmade noodles,
stretchy and chewy.
774
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:16,266
It's a winner.
775
00:27:16,302 --> 00:27:19,703
- To put your heart
and soul into a dish,
776
00:27:19,739 --> 00:27:23,073
It's a beautiful feeling
to have that recognized.
777
00:27:23,142 --> 00:27:25,709
And I'm just so happy.
778
00:27:25,745 --> 00:27:28,212
- Shall we move
to the basement?
779
00:27:28,314 --> 00:27:31,782
- We have crispy
orange-glazed frog's legs.
780
00:27:31,817 --> 00:27:35,786
- Picking frog's legs in
the basement, tall order.
781
00:27:35,821 --> 00:27:37,488
- I've cooked a lot of
frog legs in my life.
782
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:39,223
This is phenomenal.
783
00:27:39,258 --> 00:27:41,158
- They are delicious.
784
00:27:41,227 --> 00:27:44,061
- Over here,
we have a chili broth
785
00:27:44,096 --> 00:27:46,864
With a char
siu-glazed crispy squid.
786
00:27:46,932 --> 00:27:48,866
- Visually,
it looks breathtaking.
787
00:27:48,934 --> 00:27:51,702
- The squid itself
is perfectly cooked.
788
00:27:51,804 --> 00:27:56,874
- This is a cod cheek and
tofu fried rice with xo sauce.
789
00:27:56,909 --> 00:27:59,543
- The presentation
is a little bit embarrassing.
790
00:27:59,645 --> 00:28:02,980
There's a very sugary
sweet weird taste here.
791
00:28:03,015 --> 00:28:05,616
- My palate's a little bit
blown out from that flavor.
792
00:28:05,685 --> 00:28:06,817
- A shame.
793
00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:08,652
- If I get put up
for elimination,
794
00:28:08,721 --> 00:28:10,521
I have the next level
immunity pin.
795
00:28:10,623 --> 00:28:11,855
It could be time to use it.
796
00:28:11,924 --> 00:28:14,258
- Over here,
we have a vegetable
797
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:18,562
Fried rice with glazed
eggplant and a fried egg.
798
00:28:18,664 --> 00:28:20,898
- So no protein.
- No protein.
799
00:28:23,469 --> 00:28:25,169
- Eggplant's delicious.
800
00:28:25,271 --> 00:28:26,870
The big issue
I've got with this dish
801
00:28:26,906 --> 00:28:28,906
Is the rice is undercooked.
802
00:28:30,676 --> 00:28:32,076
- I am pretty angry, honestly.
803
00:28:32,144 --> 00:28:33,977
I think that I'm going
into the elimination.
804
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,846
I screwed up,
plain and simple.
805
00:28:35,948 --> 00:28:37,548
- What a shame.
806
00:28:37,583 --> 00:28:40,250
In front of us, you can
see some great highs...
807
00:28:41,687 --> 00:28:43,821
And some definite lows.
808
00:28:43,889 --> 00:28:45,823
We need to discuss this.
809
00:28:45,858 --> 00:28:48,659
Please, all of you,
give us a minute.
810
00:28:53,032 --> 00:28:54,865
- Highlights. I mean, I'm just
going to jump right out.
811
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,500
The handmade noodles...
812
00:28:56,602 --> 00:28:58,035
- Yeah.
- Impressive.
813
00:28:58,070 --> 00:29:01,405
- Which were so stretchy
and chewy in the best of ways.
814
00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:02,740
And the broth was subtle...
815
00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:04,308
- Killer.
- And beautiful.
816
00:29:07,379 --> 00:29:09,780
- That mongolian beef steak,
that was exceptional.
817
00:29:09,815 --> 00:29:12,282
The flavors there were
just off the charts.
818
00:29:12,384 --> 00:29:14,618
- When you think of
mongolian dishes, a lot of us
819
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:17,321
Just go to takeout,
and that is so far from it.
820
00:29:17,423 --> 00:29:18,589
It's so beautiful.
821
00:29:18,657 --> 00:29:20,424
- We deserve to stay
at the top today.
822
00:29:20,459 --> 00:29:22,292
- The frog's legs,
I think it's ready for
823
00:29:22,328 --> 00:29:23,627
A magazine cover, that dish.
824
00:29:23,696 --> 00:29:24,862
- It was a standout, for sure.
825
00:29:24,897 --> 00:29:26,063
- Beautiful, breathtaking.
826
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:27,264
Disappointments.
827
00:29:27,299 --> 00:29:29,299
I'm upset for mark
with that sea bass.
828
00:29:29,368 --> 00:29:31,935
This is slightly undercooked.
I didn't taste authentic.
829
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:33,437
- Oh, man.
830
00:29:33,506 --> 00:29:35,606
- Fried rice.
- It was a big mishap.
831
00:29:35,708 --> 00:29:36,940
The rice was
raw in the middle.
832
00:29:37,009 --> 00:29:39,910
It's weird, because you had
two off rice dishes.
833
00:29:39,945 --> 00:29:41,712
- The cod cheek,
there was not really
834
00:29:41,781 --> 00:29:43,147
Actually a lot of
redeeming qualities
835
00:29:43,182 --> 00:29:44,214
I enjoyed about that.
836
00:29:44,350 --> 00:29:46,416
- And what was with
the duck dish?
837
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:48,118
I mean, it's got to
make it from the kitchen
838
00:29:48,187 --> 00:29:49,620
To the dining room, right?
839
00:29:49,655 --> 00:29:51,488
- Let's be honest, the good
dishes tonight were so good,
840
00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:54,424
And sadly, the bad dishes
were so awful.
841
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:56,059
What a divide.
Shall we?
842
00:29:56,128 --> 00:29:57,528
- Yeah.
843
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:02,432
- Wow.
844
00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:04,301
Some very good dishes
here tonight,
845
00:30:04,403 --> 00:30:09,306
But only one dish
will earn their team safety.
846
00:30:09,341 --> 00:30:11,074
And that dish was...
847
00:30:11,110 --> 00:30:15,546
[suspenseful music]
848
00:30:15,614 --> 00:30:16,613
Pilar.
849
00:30:16,715 --> 00:30:17,815
Congratulations.
850
00:30:18,717 --> 00:30:20,184
- Good, job, girl!
851
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,853
- [bleep].
852
00:30:27,593 --> 00:30:29,593
- Congrats, pilar.
- Thank you, chef.
853
00:30:29,628 --> 00:30:31,695
I am so excited.
854
00:30:31,797 --> 00:30:34,231
This is one of the
heights of my career.
855
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,632
The sacrifices that I make.
856
00:30:35,701 --> 00:30:37,401
I can't come home on holidays.
857
00:30:37,436 --> 00:30:38,702
I can't always be there.
858
00:30:38,804 --> 00:30:42,206
But this is why I can't,
because it does pay off.
859
00:30:42,274 --> 00:30:43,540
It's real.
860
00:30:43,642 --> 00:30:45,042
- Cassie, you were very close.
861
00:30:45,077 --> 00:30:47,311
Not only was your dish
delicious and authentic,
862
00:30:47,413 --> 00:30:48,779
But it was you.
863
00:30:48,881 --> 00:30:50,714
It's what you stand for.
864
00:30:50,783 --> 00:30:52,716
Forget the word embarrassment.
865
00:30:52,785 --> 00:30:54,117
It's a delight.
- Thank you.
866
00:30:54,186 --> 00:30:55,519
- Well done.
867
00:30:55,554 --> 00:30:58,355
- Team arrington, thanks
to pilar, you are all safe.
868
00:30:58,424 --> 00:31:00,357
You guys can head
back to the lounge
869
00:31:00,392 --> 00:31:02,392
And watch the
elimination from there.
870
00:31:02,461 --> 00:31:06,263
We are going back to that
top kitchen next time.
871
00:31:06,332 --> 00:31:08,665
Good job, pilar.
- Thank you.
872
00:31:12,271 --> 00:31:14,638
- Unfortunately,
we know what this means.
873
00:31:14,673 --> 00:31:18,342
Once again, gordon
and richard, each of you
874
00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:20,510
Has to pick one of your
chefs to battle it out
875
00:31:20,579 --> 00:31:22,346
In the elimination cook-off.
876
00:31:23,282 --> 00:31:25,482
Gordon, please,
let's start with you.
877
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:28,719
- I'm going to
put a dish forward
878
00:31:28,787 --> 00:31:32,556
That needs two more
minutes cooking,
879
00:31:32,591 --> 00:31:36,994
And that dish belongs to mark.
880
00:31:38,464 --> 00:31:39,997
I need you to
bring your a-game.
881
00:31:40,032 --> 00:31:41,431
- Yes, chef.
882
00:31:41,467 --> 00:31:42,799
- I've been in a pressure
cooker situation.
883
00:31:42,835 --> 00:31:45,969
Every Sunday is a
pressure cooker situation.
884
00:31:46,038 --> 00:31:47,204
I'm not going to panic.
885
00:31:47,239 --> 00:31:48,438
I am in it to win it.
886
00:31:48,474 --> 00:31:49,840
- Richard.
887
00:31:49,875 --> 00:31:52,342
- I definitely have two
dishes to potentially choose
888
00:31:52,444 --> 00:31:55,312
From over here, two rice
dishes that had some flaws,
889
00:31:55,414 --> 00:31:57,881
One overcooked,
one undercooked.
890
00:31:59,051 --> 00:32:02,386
The chef I'm putting into
to the elimination is...
891
00:32:06,592 --> 00:32:10,527
- The chef I'm putting
into the elimination is...
892
00:32:10,629 --> 00:32:11,828
- Oh, my god.
893
00:32:11,864 --> 00:32:14,231
If there's anyone
that's going in, it's me.
894
00:32:14,266 --> 00:32:16,800
- Matt.
895
00:32:16,869 --> 00:32:18,268
- Wow.
896
00:32:18,304 --> 00:32:19,870
- Matt, just didn't
happen today.
897
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:21,271
You had some great
ingredients, didn't
898
00:32:21,307 --> 00:32:22,372
Come together at the end.
899
00:32:22,474 --> 00:32:24,541
A little sloppy.
I know you can do better.
900
00:32:24,643 --> 00:32:25,642
- Understood, chef.
901
00:32:25,711 --> 00:32:27,711
- So matt,
we find ourselves now
902
00:32:27,746 --> 00:32:30,113
With a decision to make here.
- That we do, chef.
903
00:32:30,149 --> 00:32:31,915
- You can choose
to face elimination
904
00:32:31,951 --> 00:32:35,552
Or keep yourself safe
and force me
905
00:32:35,587 --> 00:32:37,988
To choose someone else
on our team in your place.
906
00:32:38,057 --> 00:32:40,590
You're going to turn
in your immunity pin?
907
00:32:44,063 --> 00:32:45,162
- Yes, chef.
908
00:32:46,865 --> 00:32:48,665
- Wow.
- The hardest part of using
909
00:32:48,767 --> 00:32:49,833
The next level immunity pin
910
00:32:49,902 --> 00:32:52,268
Is that I knew one
of my teammates
911
00:32:52,271 --> 00:32:54,171
Was going to go up
for elimination.
912
00:32:54,239 --> 00:32:55,672
- He's playing it.
913
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:57,674
- Easy. I earned it.
914
00:32:57,710 --> 00:32:59,710
I had the right to use it.
915
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:03,380
I'm not leaving this
competition with that pin
916
00:33:03,415 --> 00:33:04,982
Still on my apron.
917
00:33:07,152 --> 00:33:09,019
- That means that I have
to pick someone else
918
00:33:09,054 --> 00:33:10,654
To go into an elimination.
919
00:33:10,756 --> 00:33:12,622
The person I'm going
to choose...
920
00:33:15,627 --> 00:33:17,094
Chris.
921
00:33:17,196 --> 00:33:18,795
- I knew that matt was
going to use his pin.
922
00:33:18,864 --> 00:33:20,063
I would have done
the same thing.
923
00:33:20,132 --> 00:33:21,865
You know,
this is a competition,
924
00:33:21,900 --> 00:33:23,600
And I could have done better.
925
00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:24,901
- Chris, there's
no doubt you're one
926
00:33:25,037 --> 00:33:26,269
Of the toughest chefs here.
927
00:33:26,338 --> 00:33:27,838
You were built for
this moment, and you
928
00:33:27,873 --> 00:33:30,474
Need to bring all of this fire
into the elimination round.
929
00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:31,708
- Yes, chef.
930
00:33:31,744 --> 00:33:33,777
- Mark, I know you
can get through this,
931
00:33:33,879 --> 00:33:35,912
And I know how many
times you've bounced back
932
00:33:35,948 --> 00:33:37,547
From adversity in the nfl.
933
00:33:37,583 --> 00:33:40,083
So I need you to
bring your a-game.
934
00:33:40,152 --> 00:33:41,318
- Yes, chef.
935
00:33:41,420 --> 00:33:42,853
- Ok, mark, chris,
please stay here.
936
00:33:42,955 --> 00:33:44,988
The rest of you, head up
to the top-level kitchen.
937
00:33:45,024 --> 00:33:48,025
- Got your back.
We've got you.
938
00:33:48,127 --> 00:33:49,459
- That's a shock.
939
00:33:51,463 --> 00:33:53,697
- Listen, both of you
have one last chance
940
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:55,198
To save yourselves.
941
00:33:55,267 --> 00:33:57,434
You're both going to have to
create something that's not
942
00:33:57,469 --> 00:33:59,503
Only a staple in
chinese cuisine,
943
00:33:59,605 --> 00:34:03,974
But it's represented in
countries around the world.
944
00:34:04,076 --> 00:34:05,976
Dumplings.
945
00:34:06,011 --> 00:34:09,446
Both of you have 30 minutes
to make your version
946
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:11,782
Of an international dumpling.
947
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:14,084
I will be with you in
that top-level kitchen.
948
00:34:14,186 --> 00:34:18,088
Richard and gordon will meet
us after you're done cooking.
949
00:34:18,190 --> 00:34:20,157
Please head up.
I'll see you shortly.
950
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:22,025
- Good luck, mark.
Come on.
951
00:34:22,061 --> 00:34:23,260
- Good luck.
Let's go, chris.
952
00:34:23,295 --> 00:34:24,628
- I'm just going
to go out there and cook
953
00:34:24,663 --> 00:34:26,730
The best international
dumpling that I can.
954
00:34:26,832 --> 00:34:30,200
Let's get it, level up,
and get back in the game.
955
00:34:30,269 --> 00:34:31,401
- You've got this!
- Flavors, chris, flavors.
956
00:34:31,470 --> 00:34:32,669
- You've got this.
957
00:34:32,704 --> 00:34:34,071
- I think that I still
have an edge over him.
958
00:34:34,139 --> 00:34:35,772
I have a hell of a
lot more experience,
959
00:34:35,874 --> 00:34:37,040
As far as flavors go.
960
00:34:37,109 --> 00:34:39,576
I am ready to win
this damn thing.
961
00:34:39,678 --> 00:34:43,780
[dramatic music]
962
00:34:43,882 --> 00:34:45,682
- Hey.
[applause]
963
00:34:45,751 --> 00:34:48,585
- Hey!
Let's go.
964
00:34:48,687 --> 00:34:50,587
- You got this.
965
00:34:50,622 --> 00:34:53,023
- Here I am, fighting
for another challenge.
966
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,392
I was the underdog in so
many aspects of my life,
967
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:56,827
So I'm sure I'm going
to come out on top.
968
00:34:56,895 --> 00:34:58,228
- Oh, p, the stress.
969
00:34:58,263 --> 00:35:00,030
I'm so glad we up here, baby.
970
00:35:00,099 --> 00:35:01,698
I'm so glad, baby.
971
00:35:03,335 --> 00:35:05,102
[applause]
972
00:35:08,707 --> 00:35:10,340
- Mark, chris.
- Yes, chef.
973
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:11,541
- Chef.
974
00:35:11,610 --> 00:35:13,977
- You both have one
last chance to save
975
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:15,612
Yourself in this competition.
976
00:35:15,647 --> 00:35:17,714
- Yes, chef.
- Yes, chef.
977
00:35:17,783 --> 00:35:19,049
- You ready to leave
it all in the field?
978
00:35:19,151 --> 00:35:20,183
- Yes, chef.
979
00:35:20,219 --> 00:35:21,585
- Hands on the
elevator, please.
980
00:35:21,653 --> 00:35:23,420
- Here we go, baby.
981
00:35:23,489 --> 00:35:24,754
- You got this, mark.
982
00:35:24,823 --> 00:35:26,223
- Go.
983
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:28,859
- Dumplings.
- It's going to stay there.
984
00:35:28,894 --> 00:35:30,660
- International dumpling.
- Crab.
985
00:35:30,729 --> 00:35:31,728
- Here we go.
986
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:33,263
- Grab all your ingredients.
987
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:35,098
Ground lamb.
What's your vision?
988
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,869
- I see ground lamb, and
I see dumpling wrappers.
989
00:35:38,937 --> 00:35:40,470
There you are.
990
00:35:40,506 --> 00:35:43,173
And that was really the two
big things that I needed.
991
00:35:43,275 --> 00:35:44,708
We're good to go.
992
00:35:44,743 --> 00:35:46,543
- Don't forget, the platform
stays here the entire time.
993
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:48,678
You can set something
down on your station.
994
00:35:48,714 --> 00:35:50,013
- Oh, here we go.
- You've got the dough.
995
00:35:50,115 --> 00:35:51,014
- Got the dough.
996
00:35:51,116 --> 00:35:52,549
- Ok, what's our plan?
997
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:53,917
- I'm going to make...
I'm going to Italy.
998
00:35:53,952 --> 00:35:55,152
- Excellent.
999
00:35:55,187 --> 00:35:56,353
- So I'm going to
make a little ground...
1000
00:35:56,388 --> 00:35:58,655
Ground pork, put a
little tomato sauce
1001
00:35:58,757 --> 00:36:00,423
In it, a little spinach,
a little cheese.
1002
00:36:00,459 --> 00:36:01,424
- Love it.
1003
00:36:01,460 --> 00:36:03,894
- Ok, mark. Ok!
1004
00:36:03,929 --> 00:36:05,729
- Where's the italian
inspiration coming from?
1005
00:36:05,831 --> 00:36:08,131
- Italian inspiration is
coming from, I would say,
1006
00:36:08,233 --> 00:36:09,733
I like spaghetti.
That's my italian...
1007
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,301
- Love it.
Love it.
1008
00:36:11,336 --> 00:36:13,470
[dramatic music]
1009
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:14,671
What's the plan, chris?
1010
00:36:14,706 --> 00:36:15,939
- I'm going to do manti,
which is basically
1011
00:36:15,974 --> 00:36:17,474
A middle eastern dumpling.
- Yes.
1012
00:36:17,543 --> 00:36:19,342
- I'm going to have a nice
little yogurt sauce here.
1013
00:36:19,378 --> 00:36:21,177
I'm going to throw sour cream,
a little bit of the feta
1014
00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:23,246
Cheese with it, just to give
it more of that essence,
1015
00:36:23,348 --> 00:36:24,748
More depth to it.
- Chris is focused, though.
1016
00:36:24,783 --> 00:36:26,016
- Yeah, but you got
to get them cooked.
1017
00:36:26,118 --> 00:36:27,551
- You going saute pan?
- That's the plan.
1018
00:36:27,586 --> 00:36:29,186
Yes, chef.
- Let's go.
1019
00:36:29,254 --> 00:36:31,421
- I feel confident with
chris in elimination,
1020
00:36:31,456 --> 00:36:34,824
But if mark pulls through
and chris goes home,
1021
00:36:34,893 --> 00:36:36,493
I will be feeling terrible.
1022
00:36:36,595 --> 00:36:38,028
Let's go.
1023
00:36:40,999 --> 00:36:42,065
- 10 minutes down, guys.
1024
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:43,033
20 minutes to go.
- 10 minutes down.
1025
00:36:43,068 --> 00:36:44,100
All right.
You know what?
1026
00:36:44,203 --> 00:36:45,802
What am I doing?
Hold on one second.
1027
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:46,870
Please hold.
1028
00:36:46,939 --> 00:36:49,573
- Oh, my god,
this is stressful.
1029
00:36:49,675 --> 00:36:51,474
- Rally don't
have that much time.
1030
00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:52,943
It is stressful.
1031
00:36:53,045 --> 00:36:54,511
Behind, behind, behind, behind.
1032
00:36:54,580 --> 00:36:56,179
Everything hurts.
1033
00:36:56,281 --> 00:36:57,948
