Hell's Kitchen (2005) s13e07 Episode Script

12 Chefs Compete

Previously on Hell's Kitchen Oh, yeah.
The Chefs got hands-on experience In the chop challenge.
Everybody know what they're doing? Today, I've prepared a bone-in grilled pork chop.
I thought it was kind of boring.
Roe's poor performance on her pork dish Gave the blue team their second consecutive challenge win.
While the men sipped wine in the Santa Barbara vineyards To Roe.
The women had bones to pick I'm stuck with a bunch of bitches that can't pull their weight.
There it is.
During a never-ending punishment.
This is the longest day of my life.
At dinner service Stop, just look at the scallops.
Katie So that doesn't stink of garlic to anybody here? Roe Look at them.
Just touch them.
And Ashley couldn't deliver on appetizers for the gold medal guest at the Chef's table You, you, and you, get out! And were ejected from the kitchen, - while on the blue team - Excuse me? Clashing personalities You talk a big game, but you ain't [Bleep.]
.
You ain't [Bleep.]
.
And poor execution from Steve! And Santos.
I'm missing a lamb, Santos.
You and you, [Bleep.]
off.
Left both teams There's no winning team.
Facing elimination.
Time to clean house.
The women nominated - Katie - And Roe.
While the men chose - Sterling, Chef.
- And Steve.
But it was Katie.
Give me your jacket.
Whose dream of being Head Chef at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at Caesars Atlantic City came to an end.
- But - I'm not done yet.
Chef Ramsay wasn't finished, and you're about to find out why Take off your jacket.
Right now on Hell's Kitchen.
Fire uh, uh fire ooh ooh ooh ooh the way you walk and talk really sets me off to a full alarm, child yes, it does the way you swerve and curve really wrecks my nerves and I'm so excited, child The way you squeeze and tease knocks me to my knees 'cause I'm smokin' baby, baby When you're hot, you're hot you really shoot your shot you're dynamite, child ooh ooh ooh ooh fire what I said, child, ow fire fire ☯ ❃ And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.

I haven't.
You're in the red team.
Thank you, man.
Thank you.
What's up, red team? I'm home.
Thank y'all.
We are so screwed right now.
Steve Back in line.
Red team, I suggest you get it together.
Now, piss off.
I survived to stay another day in Hell's Kitchen.
That makes me extremely happy, but having Sterling off my team makes me even happier.
I like to work as a team player.
You work smiling, 'cause when you cook happy, that's how your food come out.
I feel an impending dread.
They can't never knock my smile.
Sterling is going to be unbearable.
I'm really motivated now.
Especially when they ain't never seen me cook.
They just assume, and assumption is always the assumption that always, always to [Bleep.]
up, when they assume something without knowing the true facts.
Sterling, what are you talking about? Like, really? I definitely feel that he doesn't take it seriously.
It's only gonna get worse from here.
[Bleep.]
.
After a team shake-up, the Chefs wake up Let's go, move it! Move it! Ready to go wherever Hell's Kitchen takes them.
- Whoa.
- Whoa.
[Bleep.]
.
Ladies, let's go.
Chef Ramsay is huge in and of himself, but lo and behold, there's something bigger behind him.
Good morning.
Good morning, Chef.
When I look at this map of Italy, I see more than just words.
I see the very finest of ingredients.
From the stunning San Marzano tomatoes, grown in Campania, up to the Gulf of Naples, where they transform those lemons into the delicious limoncello that's right, Frank.
And then just outside Rome, where olives are turned into the most delicate olive oil.
Now, food is not the only thing Italy is famous for.
Yay, opera.
I have no idea what these people are saying, but it sounds cool.
Ah That was amazing.
Okay, red team, blue team, for today's unique challenge, you'll be cooking Italian food.
Now, each of our gifted singers are holding a scroll with the name of an opera on that scroll.
You'll first choose a Chef on the opposite team that you want to square off against.
That Chef will select one of our opera singers, who will reveal the dish on their scroll.
Frank, who do you want to up against on the red team? Hmm.
- I'll go against Roe.
- Roe.
I moved out of Jersey to get away from boys like Frankie.
But at the same time, who better to go against than my fellow countryman? Please pick an opera.
Cheese Manicotti Frank, happy? Oh, very much so, Chef.
Are you kidding me? I know the in and outs of the manicotti.
It's not a problem at all.
Sterling, who do you want to go up against? - Bryant.
- Okay.
He was one of the very first ones that throwed me onto the chopping block.
Beating his butt would make me feel so happy.
Great.
Pick an opera.
Norma.
Fettuccine Alfredo I love making different types of alfredos.
- Ashley.
- Yes, Chef.
Who do you want to go up against? Fernando, Chef.
- Awesome.
- Pick an opera.
Tosca.
Saltimbocca Um, what? I don't even know how to pronounce what I'm supposed to cook.
It's sambuca or sottobucco.
Good choice.
Jennifer.
I'll go with Steve.
Steve, pick an opera.
Madame Butterfly.
Tortellini Okay, Santos.
I'm gonna have to go with La Tasha, Chef.
Mistake of your life, Santos.
Never challenge me.
Pick an opera, please.
O Sole Mio.
Spaghetti alla alla carbonara Aaron, obviously you'll be going up against Sade.
I get stuck with Aaron.
Wah, wah.
Please pick an opera.
Le Villi.
Linguine vongole We have our matchups.
Ready for war, Chef.
Your 40 minutes starts Now.
Let's go.
In this Italian cuisine challenge, the Chefs will have just 40 minutes to be creative with six classic dishes, employing the finest ingredients - So much to choose from.
- You see any peas? And their knowledge of Italian cooking.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
I suck at Italian food, but I definitely have to prove myself.
So it's just veal and prosciutto.
- That's what mine is, right? - Yes, ma'am.
So I'll just fake it and try to make it.
How's everybody looking.
- Anybody in panic mode? - I'm good.
- What can I help you with? - So far so good.
- Is your grill on? - Yes, sir.
Sterling, just cook.
You are nothing special until you prove you're special.
Let's go, red team.
Yes, Chef.
Crack a couple eggs.
- Toss it with pasta.
- Yup.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Oh, my god.
Chef Ramsay really got us the best ingredients.
Oh.
Put them together it's just like a beautiful marriage.
I'm doing it the way my family does it, with a crepe.
I mean, wow.
That's nice.
While Frank is full of amore in the blue kitchen That's beautiful.
I'm having issues, ladies.
Some heartache is being experienced in the red kitchen.
Yes, Chef.
I'm having issues.
My tortellini keeps exploding on me.
Does somebody have a pastry brush? Over here on this pasta tray.
Coming down.
Thank you.
I'm, like, a little bit panicked.
That I might not get anything on the plate.
Just start a fresh one.
Sade? No way I have enough time for this with Jen.
Maybe you should put less filling.
My dish is linguine I don't even know how to pronounced it, and I'm not even sure if I'm gonna make it.
How is that for you, Jen? I am not happy.
Just push.
Ten minutes, red team.
This time is flying.
I just need everyone to bring it on home for the red team.
Make it happen, baby.
You got this.
It's me, baby.
Four minutes, blue team.
- Heard.
- Heard.
Come on.
Start cooking that pasta.
I got to cook pasta.
Damn it.
I need more time.
It's not right, and the clams aren't popped open for me, and it's not hot enough.
Behind, behind.
Coming down, coming down.
Come on, let's make it happen.
- Now or never.
- Taste everything.
It's a little too spicy.
It's good.
It's good.
Five Four Three - Two - [Bleep.]
.
One Plates up, guys.
Let's go.
Now, I've invited a very special guest judge.
Please say hello to the man who has helped lay the groundwork for great Italian cuisine in America, Celestino Drago.
- Chef.
- Oh, boy.
We're having Mr.
Italy himself judge these dishes.
Let's start off, Chef, with the tortellini.
- Let's go.
- 'm a little [Bleep.]
nervous.
But I am ready to take this boy down.
I made a eggplant a little mozzarella tortellini.
Little thyme, little basil, a little Rosemary that I bruised just to bring out some more of the flavor.
- It's a nice broth.
- Yes, lovely broth.
- I love the broth.
- Thank you, Chef.
Jennifer.
I did a spiced pumpkin tortellini with a brown butter sage sauce and toasted hazelnuts on top.
Hazelnuts is a very nice touch.
I like the idea of pumpkin around it.
I mean, it's a very good dish.
Mm-hmm.
Red team or blue team? I have to go with the red team.
- Great start.
- Pleasure meeting you, Chef.
I can't wait to see Steve later.
Really just gonna [Bleep.]
grind that [Bleep.]
in.
Saltimbocca.
Let's go.
I pounded out the veal, wrapped it with prosciutto and fresh basil and balsamic reduction.
Why basil and not sage? Um, I'm actually not sure.
Please, Fernando.
We have a pan-seared veal saltimbocca with sage and black garlic puree.
Presentation's very nice.
Still see the little sage kind of coming up.
I'm glad you used the right herb.
Nice dish.
I like it.
I love this dish.
"Ooh, I'm in love with this dish.
" Mmm.
- "It's amazing.
" - Oh, wow.
Thank you, Chef.
- That's blue team.
- Blue team.
Nice.
Good work, Fernando.
Thank you.
You suck, Fernando.
The linguine vongole, please.
Let's go.
With the score tied, Sade and Aaron are each looking to impress and put their team ahead Definitely could be more oh, you know, the juice.
But neither linguine vongole comes close to exciting Chef Drago.
I don't like the idea of the fennel.
I would not pick either of these dish.
I mean, I just can't.
With neither team earning a point, the spotlight is now focused on the next pair of combatants.
Spaghetti alla carbonara.
It doesn't work for me.
Santos' dish underwhelms, and La Tasha's dish The ingredients are good.
It's fantastic.
I have to go with the red team.
Is strong enough to put the red team back in the lead.
How did I not get the [Bleep.]
point? Cheese manicotti.
Let's go.
And now it's the battle of the two Italians, Roe versus Frank By the way, it's a pleasure to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
And their manicotti.
I did a little bit of risata, pignoli nuts, raisins, and just a simple tomato sauce.
Very tasty.
Remind me of my grandmother when she used to make this.
- You know, a rustic dish.
- Roe, please.
I did some hot sausage.
There's grilled eggplant inside there as well.
Love the presentation, all the ingredients.
They all make sense.
If I have to eat right now, if I have to pick one of them, - blue team.
- Blue team.
Thank you very much.
It's not over.
Good job, Frank.
of fettuccine alfredo.
Let's go.
My fingers are crossed.
Come on, Sterling.
Pull it through for us.
We need this win.
Took my basic Alfredo and put a little twist in.
I put some fire-roasted peppers.
I think you show your personality on the dish.
This is more like Southern, you know, ingredient.
It's hotter than I thought it would be.
Bryant.
I made an herb fettuccine pasta with lemon thyme, basil, and parsley, with vegetables and lobster meat.
It's a little too much.
I probably would not put so much of the stuff inside.
It's tied right now, two to the red, two to the blue.
If you were to choose the winner, is it point to the red team or the blue team? I wanted blue team to see that I am a force to be reckoned with.
I just want to win.
I have to go with the In today's Italian cuisine challenge, the score is tied Is it point to the red team or the blue team? And it all comes down to the matchup of former buddies.
It's Bryant versus Sterling in the battle of the fettuccine alfredo.
I have to go with the I have to go with the blue team.
- Excellent.
- Thank you, Chef.
Sterling made a mistake going up against me.
I definitely had this one in the bag.
Damn.
I really wanted this challenge.
Damn.
I'd like all of you to join me thanking Chef Drago.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you so much.
Ciao.
Blue team, congratulations.
You are in for a spectacular day.
First of all, you're all gonna get amazing new outfits.
You are going to American Rag, where many celebrities go to shop.
I don't think you should go shopping empty-handed.
Here, Frank.
Get over here.
Go get it.
Come on, move! $3,000.
Share it amongst yourselves.
Whatever you do, I don't want to see a dime returned.
- Thank you, Chef.

After shopping, you'll be having lunch at one of the finest Italian restaurants in America.
You're going to Cecconi's.

red team right now.
Good luck with Sterling.
Another one, guys.
Another one.
Ladies and Sterling, you all are preparing for Italian night, which is tonight.
So obviously I'll be making some adjustments to the menu.
One of the items on the menu include a delicious squid ink tagliatelle.
You'll be making this from scratch.
I want the squids broken down individually.
I want you to carefully extract the ink sack.
Harvest the ink for the pasta.
After that, I want the pasta made by hand.
Get out of here.
I am sick of losing.
This is gonna be a long-ass day.
Oh, no.
This is $500 for you.
All right, split the money.
From the looks of it, you need that shopping spree, gentlemen, so enjoy that.
Yeah! Going shopping, baby.
- Hi.

Oh, dude, I like this.
I'm kind of confused right now on what I should buy.
Luckily, we have Frankie.
Frankie, this is fresh, yeah? Yeah, I like that a lot.
It's got that's in.
Have that in another color? Frankie, he definitely knows his clothes.
Oh, these are beautiful.
This is the ideal reward.
I like this.
I could've spent, like, another, like, four or five hours in there.
Where's Frankie at? - Let's go.
- I need to let it down, let it out.
Oh, man, fish into an open wound.
Gross.
Eww.
We save that, right? - What's that? - The ink part.
Hell yeah, we save that.
I am up to my elbows in squid right now.
I got squid bodies, squid tails, squid ink, squid guts.
This is disgusting.
The head got to come off of those bodies too.
Punishment today, to me, it was my time to bond with the ladies in the kitchen.
Chef Andi, you married, family, single, divorced? Sterling, you're asking way too many questions.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Sterling, shut your mouth.
Go back to work.
Are you from here? We're not there to socialize.
Is that too much too? Okay, just shut up.
"You single, married?" While the women deal with the presence of Sterling Oh, nice.
Have a seat, boys.
The men celebrate his absence.
How pissed are the girls at Sterling right now? Hey, I'm sure whatever they're having, it's 100.
Hey, I'll cheers to that one.
We have a couple of pasta dishes.
I know Italian food, but, I mean, this it really my taste buds are just, like Excuse me.
Burrata with a panzanella.
Goat cheese and squash blossoms.

Everything was it was so good.
Famous ricotta sicily cannoli.
Mwah! I got to I got to loosen a notch of the belt, guys.
As the blue team fills up on Italian cuisine, the red team - This is the fish station? - No, this is meat.
Fish is over here.
Has had their fill of Sterling.
That's hot apps, meat, garnish, fish.
On the fish is Tagliatelle and scallops, halibut.
Sterling's making me a little nervous, you know.
He keeps asking us basic questions about stuff that he should know already.
Keep the parm in.
We'll put the lemon zest - Yup.
- Put the parm back over here.
God, if this is how it's gonna be now, I don't want to know what dinner service is gonna be.
What's this for anyway? [Bleep.]

This is all riso.
This is all cavatelli.
What's this? Sterling, pull it the [Bleep.]

It just needs to coat the [Bleep.]
pasta.
It's like, "guys, get the [Bleep.]
off.
" Too many hands, not enough pans.
Aaron, right here behind you.
I got you.
What do you need, brother? What do you need? I don't.
I don't.
What do you need, Aaron? I don't, Steve.
Go away.
I got Steve, like, trying to [Bleep.]
push in on the station.
Steve, get off the station.
Steve, go away.
Go.
Aaron, you [Bleep.]
put your hands on me, I'm about to knock you the [Bleep.]
out right now.
Hey, [Bleep.]
face, hey.
Yes, Chef.
[Bleep.]
come here.
How long are you gonna keep it all back? Get it together.
Yes, Chef.
'Cause this is embarrassing.
This is embarrassing.
Behind.
Two tag in the middle.
- Look at me.
- Yes, Chef.
Stand there in silence and say [Bleep.]
all.
Next time, I'm just gonna kick you out.
- Yes, Chef.
- If you're [Bleep.]
running behind, - who should you be telling? - Everybody, Chef.
'Cause they won't [Bleep.]
slice the meat.
Yes, Chef.
Send that, James.
Despite Aaron's lack of teamwork and communication, entrees are making their way out of the kitchen to the dining room.
Aaron, come on, boy.
But on the red side, one dish seems to be leaving the dining room and making its way back to the kitchen.
The Italian consul.
Too blotty.
Calamari are raw.
Lack of flavor.
Raw calamari.
[Bleep.]
.
Unbelievable.
All of you, stop.
Yeah, all of you! Have I got news for you.
Raw [Bleep.]
calamari.
Touch that.
Raw, yeah.
Raw.
Ashley, what is happening? Undercooked? Seriously? That's from the Italian consulate table.
What is going on? What in the [Bleep.]
is going on? Any ideas now? All of you, get out.
Just leave me alone.
Get out.
Get [Bleep.]
out.
Again? [Bleep.]
me.
Get out! Pathetic! Get out! It's an hour and half into dinner service.
I do apologize for the pasta.
And thanks to Ashley That's from the Italian consulate table.
The most important table in the dining room has received a subpar dish What is going on? And Chef Ramsay is completely fed up.
All of you, get out.
Get out! Get out! What I've seen so far, the red team is kind of a letdown to me.
This is ridiculous.
[Bleep.]
, [Bleep.]
, [Bleep.]
.
Last ticket.
- Come on, guys, move! - All right.
- Garnish is walking, okay? - Thank you.
- You're coming with steaks? - Around.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Story of the night.
Tagliatelli? Give me a [Bleep.]
time.
I don't hear any more yelling over there at the red team, which means the girls just got kicked out, so we have to close this service down.
Behind, two tag.
Oh, my god.
Man.
That was extraordinary.
- Happy now? - Yes, Chef.
Yeah, [Bleep.]
it.
You start slow.
He sends raw food.
Clear down.
Yes, Chef.
Unbelievable.
There are four words that you're not gonna hear tonight: The winning team is.
Forget it.
But there are some words you're gonna hear: Undercooked, overcooked, dry, salty, lost, and [Bleep.]
disorganized.
I'm in shock.
I want two people from the red team and two people from the blue team that you would be better off without.
Get out of here.
Chef.
Embarrassing.
My team is [Bleep.]
pathetic.
It's sad.
They're falling apart at the [Bleep.]
seams.
People got to start packing.
Who are we thinking for elimination? I'm gonna go Ashley for one.
Ashley.
What are you thinking? Ashley's the weakest right now.
This is the first bad service that I've had.
I want to be here.
I don't even want the $250,000.
I just want to work for Chef Ramsay.
My second nominee is gonna be Roe.
It's getting nit-picky, but I got to go Roe.
I had one set of steaks come back tonight, y'all.
The red team is intimidated by the fact that I did start out strong in this competition.
Dropping a pan in the dining room means nothing? I had a dropped pan.
I don't that I deserve to get put up because of that.
I mean, she didn't actually drop it on someone.
Okay.
They are just eager to get me out of here before I come back on top.
I'm going down without a fight.
- Did meat go down tonight? - Okay, meat didn't go down.
That's what I'm asking you.
Did meat have a perfect service? Did any station have a perfect service? Roe's trying to con her way from being on the block.
You started off really strong, and your last few services and tonight wasn't strong? But you had mistakes.
You contradicted yourself.
You said, "you started out strong.
You got weaker.
" No, I said, "you started strong" - can I finish talking? - Go right ahead.
But if you're gonna repeat my words, say it right.
I got [Bleep.]
pummeled on because apps were slow going out.
I wouldn't really blame apps, I mean, just to justify what you were saying.
Fish station today got [Bleep.]
up.
Weakest Chef, hands down, is Aaron.
Fish station [Bleep.]
goes up tonight.
The timings were all off.
But you know what? That doesn't [Bleep.]
negate the service or the long ticket times that we had on apps.
I really shouldn't be going up on that block again.
This is [Bleep.]
[Bleep.]
.
I think that it all started with Chef being upset from the get-go that the apps and [Bleep.]
were [Bleep.]
up.
I'm not going back on the chopping block again tonight.
You had soupy risotto and long ticket times on yeah, you did have the soup risotto.
The risotto was not soup, though.
He yelled at you for it.
I don't know what the [Bleep.]
they're thinking, trying to throw me on the chopping block.
That put us back for a minute, but we caught right back up.
I think Frank should be on that [Bleep.]
Chopping block tonight.
Frank [Bleep.]
went down on his [Bleep.]
face, and every station Frank goes on, he [Bleep.]
up.
He should be up there.
Chef Ramsay stopped the service because the meat, not 'cause of my station.
Dude, I don't believe I should be up there.
Every time he's been on meat, he's [Bleep.]
up.
One steak came back [Bleep.]
raw.
I know for a fact when I [Bleep.]
up, I bounced back.
Uncooked meat and overcooked chicken.
That's not the chicken that I gave.
You guys gave me the chicken to bring up.
I never put my hands on that chicken.
I don't think I should be going up.
Seven services in, and still long-winded, painful, and dreadful performances.
It was hardly lucky number seven.
That's for sure.
Depressing.
Red team, have you reached a decision? Yes, Chef.
Roe, first nominee? Ashley, Chef.
Why? A general slowness and attitude and tonight's disaster.
Second nominee, and why? Is myself.
Yourself.
Not my vote.
Why? She's been, like, down-sloping, like, not doing good on challenges and, like, little hiccups here and there throughout all dinner services.
Okay.
Blue team, have you reached a decision? Yes, Chef.
Santos, first nominee, and why? Aaron, Chef.
On fish station tonight, we went to try to help him.
He didn't want any help, and to me, if you don't want help in this stage of the game, you're not a team player, and you don't need to be on my team.
Second nominee.
Um After a disappointing performance on Italian night, Chef Ramsay has ordered both teams to nominate two Chefs for elimination.
The red team nominated Ashley, Chef.
And Myself.
While the blue team's first nominee was Aaron, Chef.
Second nominee.
Um Steve, Chef.
He just gets rattled.
Inconsistency throughout services, Chef.
Okay, Ashley, Roe, Steve, and Aaron, step forward please.
Steve, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I believe I have a lot of fight.
Tonight, it was 'cause of meat and fish.
It was nothing to do with apps, and I don't believe I should be up on this chopping block today.
Aaron, why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I think I should stay in Hell's Kitchen because I have the conviction to take this all the way.
Everybody has a bad day, and I know that tomorrow, I will be better for it.
I made simple mistakes that I can recover from.
Maybe.
- Ashley.
- Yes, Chef.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I had one bad dinner service.
All I want to do is work for you and with you.
I mean, granted, my mistakes are terrible, but I will work fish station every single day to fix my mistakes.
Roe, it's the second time in a row that you're here.
Why do you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen? I think the steaks that I had to recook tonight were a smaller problem than a pan dropped in the dining room.
That's not good enough.
You started here, Roe.
When I stay in Hell's Kitchen tonight, Chef, I can show you good enough.
The person leaving Hell's Kitchen Ashley.
Give me your jacket, please.
Thank you.
Thank you for the opportunity, Chef.
Good night.
I didn't expect to get eliminated tonight because people have done way worse in this competition than I have.
This is all I wanted to do.
But, I mean, Chef Ramsay obviously just thought that I wasn't good enough.
And that's a terrible feeling.
That's not all.
One more bit of business.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen ☯ ❃
