Hell's Kitchen (2005) s14e04 Episode Script
15 Chefs Compete
Previously on Hell's Kitchen Go.
The chefs were woken up early to go diving for fish halves.
You can wake me up in the morning to go fishing anytime.
- Do they have to match exactly? - Yeah.
Meghan and T's inability to match trout halves It doesn't match.
I am not a happy camper.
Helped the men win part one of the challenge - Yes.
- Yeah! Men, well done.
Giving them a five-minute cooking advantage in part two.
Ladies, go.
But despite their late start, Mieka and Sarah's dishes received rave reviews from Michelin star judge Michael Cimarusti.
I love it.
And the fish is nicely cooked.
He loves my dish.
And when Adam got busted for sharing Milly's rice Did you take Milly's rice? - Yes, Sir.
- No shared ingredients.
What the hell are you doing? Chef Ramsay declared the red team victorious.
Ladies, well done.
At dinner service Fired the pork chop.
Nick couldn't cut it on the meat station.
He's given me raw pork twice.
And when Michael hid one of his mistakes in a hot pan under the fish station They go down and grab a pan and scald themselves.
Not surprisingly, - Chef Ramsay's anger boiled over.
- [Bleep.]
It was over here, Chef, burning.
Shut up.
Can you wait till I [Bleep.]
finish? [Bleep.]
off, all of you.
Get out.
In the red kitchen Monique, move.
Let's go a little quicker, honey.
Monique, let's just go.
Quickly.
Monique and Alison were at odds all night on the fish station.
Disgusting.
Who cooked those scallops? Monique, Chef.
Like, what a bitch move.
I can't stand Alison.
That, combined with Mieka's disastrous service Taste that salty, disgusting rice.
Sunk the red kitchen.
I've never seen such a bad service.
All of you, get out.
After one of the worst services ever Get out! Chef Ramsay was so angry James.
Where the hell are the dorms? He went to a place he has never gone before You were worse than opening night.
And demanded that both teams nominate two chefs for elimination.
The men put up Michael and Nick, while the women nominated Mieka and Christine.
In the end, it was Michael.
Who lost his chance of becoming Head Chef at Caesars Atlantic City.
Whoa! Aah! Aah! Aw.
And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Now [Bleep.]
off.
Michael, he didn't belong here.
He was our weakest person in the kitchen.
Peace.
Deuces, Michael.
Come see me in Atlantic City.
I'll give you a job prep cooking.
Last night shoot.
We've lost our first roommate.
Push the beds together? Want to switch sides? Yeah, I was thinking about just sharing a bed.
Switch sides that's fine.
We can push the two together.
We've already kind of touched each other's hearts.
We did.
Right? Well, I see you guys aren't that beaten up that Michael's gone.
Who's Michael? Yah! Kra-gow, you [Bleep.]
.
Didn't even skip a beat.
Nick, where's the cervezas? Okay.
Everyone, go the patio.
Everybody was planning on going to sleep, but we need to loosen up a little bit.
That's it, that's it.
Perfect.
This is the first time we've actually had an opportunity to mingle and hang out like this.
You guys, let's play "never have I ever.
" You do five fingers, and you put down one every time you've done something.
All right, never have I ever had sexual intercourse with a female.
Oh, well, that's not fair.
Too sad.
Bret, you're up.
You're not playing or what? Bret.
What's up, Bret? Never have I ever played this game, so switch.
Bret likes to be the center of attention, and when he cannot be the center of attention, he gets salty.
_ - T, go, hon.
- Four.
Meghan, never have you ever met a guy on the first night, went home with him, and slept with him.
That's gonna put Nick out instantly.
Oh! Wait, unless she's done it as well.
After a late night of letting loose, the chefs have an early morning Guys, can we get everybody gathered around, please? Yes, Chef.
And another surprise from Chef Ramsay.
Chef, he wants you guys to put these on and run downstairs right away.
Let's go.
Come on, guys.
Like, really, jerseys? Oh, my gosh, these things are super cute.
You know, you've got the HK, got the name on the back.
Chef Ramsay, he's got something up his sleeve.
- Let's go, guys.
Come on, get in the car.
- Pile in.
Let's go.
- Girls in the front.
Let's go.
- Thank you, Chef.
Line up, please, guys.
Line up.
Football? Are you serious? There's, like, a huge American flag.
There's balls everywhere.
Chef Ramsay's in denim.
Right, good morning.
Good morning, Chef.
As we all know, football is America's favorite sport.
In many ways, it's an American classic.
I'm gonna be perfectly honest.
I am scared [Bleep.]
of playing football.
I'm usually the food nerd.
So for your next challenge, I want you to work with some great American classics An amazing mac 'n' cheese, a pizza, a burger, and delicious spaghetti.
It's up to you to put your modern twist on those American classics.
Got it? - Yes, Chef - Good.
Now each of these footballs represents an ingredient.
So 200 footballs will be launched, and then you'll pick the ingredients that you'd like to work with by gathering up the footballs.
- Clear? - Yes, Chef.
Now two of you will be making the same dish.
And on the blue team, 'cause you have one fewer chef than the red team, Randy, you are going solo, young man.
Yes, Chef.
You've all got 30 seconds right now to decide which of these dishes you'll be cooking.
- Your time starts now.
- Spaghetti.
Spaghetti.
I want the burger.
Burger.
Burger? Meghan and I get burgers.
Yay.
I'm happy.
Pizza, that's fine.
You want to do the burger, Randy, since you're by yourself? Burger, mac 'n' cheese.
I'm good with pizza.
Me and Nick get pizza.
Pizzas are what I do, Italian food.
We're not losing this game.
Okay, ready, set.
For the first part of today's challenge, each pair of chefs will work together Lobster! To catch or gather nine ingredient-labeled footballs - Ground beef.
- Button mushrooms.
That they will both use in creating their own classic dishes with a modern twist.
I got it.
I'm definitely an athletic guy.
I mean, I played sports my entire life.
But, ah, those balls are coming in with velocity.
I mean, they're heavy too.
Pasta, elbow pasta.
Josh elbows his way to the board first with pasta that he and Milly will both use to create mac 'n' cheese dishes.
Salami, salami.
I got great hands.
I've played wide receiver.
I'm good in my ability to catch balls.
Ow.
Bell peppers! Bacon! American cheese! Greek yogurt.
Watch your head.
Watch your head.
Watch your head.
Actually, I'm feeling a little nervous right now.
I don't have a plan.
Comfort food is not really my forte.
Pancetta! I ate burnt fish sticks and green beans out of a can growing up.
That's not comfort food.
That's not good food.
Randy, here, sesame buns.
Sesame buns.
I have no problem flying solo.
I was pretty confident on the burger.
It's comfort food, but you're supposed to make it all fancy-dancy.
Anybody see bacon? I wanted to make sure I got the bacon, 'cause bacon makes the world go round.
Come on, Randy.
While Randy gathers ingredients that will elevate his burger Nice.
Let's go.
Come on.
T and Michelle are making sure that they are both happy using the ones that they have chosen.
Okay, let's look at what we have.
We have pizza dough.
We have tomatoes.
You have pineapple and chicken.
T picked pineapple and chicken.
So I was a little nervous about the pineapple, but she wanted to go with it, and I knew that I could do something with it.
- Almost done.
- Okay.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Excellent, there we are.
That is it.
Let's get back to Hell's Kitchen to get changed.
Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Come on, speed up.
I'm beat right now.
I ain't athletic.
I just want to cook food and eat.
Each pair now has 40 minutes Come on, guys.
Pick it up.
To work individually with the ingredients they have chosen as a pair - You want to do the panko? - Yeah.
And put their own spin on their classic American dish.
Ow, [Bleep.]
.
I'm actually gonna go very rustic Italian on this one.
And mine's going to be a non-traditional Italian.
I was okay with being paired with Bret, only because we didn't actually really need to work together.
I'm not losing to a chicken pineapple pizza.
My Italian grandmother would've [Bleep.]
rolled over in her grave.
Get that charry, smoky flavor on there, Nick.
While Bret is feeling confident that his pizza will have the edge for the blue team Yes, Chef.
Over in the red kitchen Sorry, dude.
Sarah is still trying to make sense of the ingredients that she and Monique selected for their spaghetti.
I'm feeling a little bit frazzled.
Eggs and ham with spaghetti? - Something special, ladies.
- Yes, Chef.
I was just trying to, like, make it smart and work together.
Salt.
- Ladies, are you all plating? - Is everyone plating? I was staring at Alison's dish, and I see mac 'n' cheese on the bun.
It didn't work for me.
Coming through, hot.
Earth to Randy.
Bring the plate to the burger.
Good point.
Five, four - Mine's all soggy.
- Three, two Yummy.
One.
And serve, guys.
Good job, guys.
Whoo! Come on, man.
Okay.
I know each of you have prepared a dish.
However, for judging, I'll only be tasting one dish from each pair.
[Bleep.]
.
Decide which dish you're dropping.
Work it out.
Hurry up.
- What do you think about mine? - I think it's traditional pizza.
I think yours is too sweet, T.
- Who's got the flatbread? - Flatbread was me.
Ah, he did a really classic Italian one.
I made one.
I made a new-school.
I want to put mine up.
Somebody taste the mac 'n' cheese.
- I kind of like this one.
- It's on a roll.
Mine's I feel really good about mine, guys.
My team really wasn't even tasting my dish.
- Which one? - Yours.
Mine? T, which one? Mine? Oh, is it mine? Just because someone's louder than me doesn't mean that their dish is always gonna be better.
With Bret's? Five, four, three, two, one.
Excellent.
Today I've invited two of the most talented chefs in America.
Our first chef is a restaurateur who owns Lucques and A.
O.
C.
- Wow.
- Please welcome Chef Suzanne Goin.
Nice to see you, my darling.
Thank you so much.
Our second judge has literally just landed from New York.
The owner of many fine restaurants, including David Burke Prime, Chef David Burke.
Thank you.
Meeting these superstar chefs in person Welcome.
Nice to see you too.
It's incredible.
The esteemed guest judges will have to decide which chef has done the best job at executing a modern take on an American classic.
Um, let's start off with the battle of the pizza.
First up are Michelle and Bret.
Go get 'em, Bret.
You got it, baby.
Michelle, would you mind explaining? I have zucchini, chicken, pineapple.
And then I have goat cheese on there.
And there's also fresh mozzarella on it.
Wow.
I know right off the bat, as far as looks go, I got this.
Very well seasoned.
And I like pineapple.
I was very nervous about the pineapple, but I think that it actually does really work.
Thank you.
Bret, please explain.
I've prepared a capricciosa pizza, an old rustic Italian, with some chiffonade basil and fresh-grated parmesan on top.
- It's delicious.
- Thank you very much, Chef.
I like the salami and the olives.
A little high on the seasoning, maybe.
- That was cooked a little nicer.
- Thank you, Chef.
Let's start off with David.
Time for the flag.
Blue, wow.
Interesting.
Thank you very much, Chef.
Suzanne.
Wow.
Thank you, Chefs.
Once again, I [Bleep.]
murdered it.
Good job.
While the blue team celebrates an early lead - Good job, baby.
- Come on, Randy.
Randy and Meghan face off in the battle of The burger.
With Randy hoping that his cheese-and chili-stuffed burger Did you want to cook it well done? I would've liked it about, ah, medium rare, Chef.
Will top Meghan's burger made of spicy lamb.
All flavors I love.
- Really tasty.
- Thank you.
It's almost a gyro on a hamburger bun.
David, is it red or blue? - Wow.
- Thank you, Chef.
I promise I'm not just copying David.
I know that my dish was good.
I'd eat the [Bleep.]
out of it.
Battle of the mac 'n' cheese, please.
Let's go.
I'm feeling, like, pretty good about my mac 'n' cheese.
Let's hope for the best.
- Alison.
- Yes, Chef.
I've never seen mac 'n' cheese in a bun.
I just wanted to do something a little bit different.
Different is good, but just being different for the sake of being different is not a good enough reason.
- Yes, Chef.
- How's that, David? Uh, taste-wise, it's a little too crunchy.
Yeah.
Joshua, please explain.
I have a three-cheese bechamel, elbow macaroni, and artichoke hearts.
That's delicious.
- I like everything that's in that.
- Thank you, Chef.
Ah, let's begin with Suzanne, please.
- I'm gonna go with blue.
- Whoo! Thank you, Chef.
Very good.
David, please.
Yeah.
I knew that that dish did not look right.
It was kind of, like, confirmation that I wasn't nuts.
Time for the battle of the spaghetti.
Let's go, please.
With the men up by two in the final round, Brendan is looking to clinch a victory for his team and avoid a third straight challenge loss.
This is a play on traditional spaghetti carbonara.
It has shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, finished with a fried egg on top.
Pretty well balanced.
I'd be happy if I went to a fine dining restaurant and got something that looked like that.
- Yeah.
- It's good.
Sarah, please describe your dish.
Um, it's a little bit of parmesan, some fried kale on the bottom, some prosciutto that I fried as well, some cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, and then the egg.
_ Oh, and lobster as well.
It's got more ingredients than a puttanesca.
It was actually really delicious.
And I was afraid that each ingredient you kept I was like, "make her stop saying ingredients, please.
" - I really liked it.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chefs.
Suzanne, David, is it red or blue? It's the final round of the American classics challenge, and the men are leading by two.
Guest judges Suzanne Goin and David Burke must decide whose take on spaghetti is superior, Brendan's or Sarah's.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chefs.
Ah, Suzanne, please.
You guys make it tough.
But I have to go with the - Wow.
- Thank you, Chef.
Good.
David? Wow.
We have to break the tie.
So I'd like to see Sarah's dish, Meghan's dish, Bret's dish, and Joshua.
You got it, brother.
Thank you.
I'm confident.
I knew I had a great macaroni and cheese.
Back in line, please.
Thank you.
So the best dish out of these four will win the challenge overall for their team.
Across the board, the seasoning was incredible.
Yes, amazing.
- Between the two of them, I think - Mm-hmm, yeah.
- You happy with that decision? - Yes.
Well, there is an overall winner.
Congratulations Sarah, the red team.
Well done.
What? I didn't come out here to [Bleep.]
lose.
I'm [Bleep.]
furious.
- David, great to see you.
Thank you.
- It was great.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, darling.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you both.
Red team, well done.
Today you'll be heading to long beach to sail aboard an incredible 130-foot-long Oh, my God.
Historic ship named the American Pride.
There are more surprises that I feel it's apt that I don't release that here in front of the boys.
There's only so much pain that Bret can take on his face.
Ladies, get changed.
Don't forget your sunscreen.
- Off you go.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Ah, Sarah.
- Chef? - Great job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- We won again.
- Oh, yeah, Sarah.
Good job, Sarah.
Like, I was doing, like, jumping Jacks in my head.
- Good job.
- Thank you, ma'am.
Not jumping Jacks.
That doesn't make sense.
I was maybe a twerk or two.
Did you see Bret's face? I thought he was gonna cry.
Men, you may not be crying now, but you will be shortly, because I have a shipment of over 500 pounds of onions.
When the shipment arrives, carry them all inside, unpack, and then start prepping them.
Off you go.
Head out to the patio.
Get some fresh air before you start crying.
Come on, team.
I'm not taking this [Bleep.]
by myself.
I mean, this is a team effort.
If it was an individual effort, I would've [Bleep.]
won already.
I don't need Bret to be swearing and getting all amped up.
It's not gonna help anything at all, especially when your morale's already down enough.
Bret, calm down, man.
You're tweaking out.
I'd rather be on a boat, getting [Bleep.]
faced.
I'm sure we all would rather do that, but we're not.
But we are peeling 500 pounds of onions.
I feel like people don't know how to win on my team.
It makes me crazy.
_ I can't work with him in this competition.
His attitude's toxic to the team.
I'm gonna have a [Bleep.]
brain aneurysm now.
While today's loss has clearly taken the wind out of Bret's sails, the women have taken to the high seas.
- _ - That looks amazing.
I've had a lot of first times here in Hell's Kitchen, and this is definitely an experience of a lifetime.
Grab a cocktail, ladies.
I'm always in need for a stiff drink.
So yes, thank you, baby Jesus.
I need two, actually.
Cheers.
Grab a bag, start running them in.
Breathe in to your mouth when you're cutting the onions.
It'll help.
And cue the tears.
My hands stink.
My eyes burn.
This-this does, in fact, blow.
These tears in my eyes, they're not from onions.
They're from losing.
Ain't nobody came out here to peel onions and lose, yo.
Oh, no, I don't think nobody want to lose.
Everybody pissed about that.
My team better care as much as I do, 'cause if not, I'ma start chopping 'em off real quick.
And if I have to, I'll play blue kitchen by myself.
You know, maybe some of us accept losing better than others.
- Who? Which one? - Who says that? - Which one of us? - Yeah, which one of us? - Who's going out next? - Put him out.
After losing the American classics challenge, the blue team has spent hours chopping and peeling onions, and Bret Nobody came out here to peel onions and lose, yo.
Is crying foul.
You know, maybe some of us accept losing better than others.
- Who? Which one? - Who says that? - Yeah, which one of us? - Which one of us? Put him out, please, so then that way, we can know who we need to talk to about it.
Who's going home next? I guess none of us now.
- Ain't nobody on this team want to lose.
- No, dude.
We're already down on ourselves.
We're already pissed.
We don't need anybody telling us we should've won.
We know we should've won.
Save that [Bleep.]
for your [Bleep.]
pillow, man.
As the blue team dries their eyes and deals with Bret If anybody needs a drink right now, it's me.
The red team is shedding no tears over their situation.
Fire in the hole.
- Is that Chef? - Yeah.
Dude, he's like 007.
Is it really Chef? Thought I'd join you for a cocktail.
- Yeah.
- Thank you, Chef.
Chef Ramsay looks like 007 pulling up in his speedboat.
Excellent.
How are we, ladies? I don't even like men like that, but, like, no joke, I was definitely girling it out.
You girls are on a roll, right? - Yes, Chef.
- With butter and jam.
Clearly, you're all talented individuals.
But show unity and strength as a team so you involve everybody.
Everybody.
Any kind of wisdom, any kind of knowledge that I can take from him and absorb, I'm game.
- Bye, ladies.
- Bye, Chef.
He's so awesome.
- I can't believe the girls are beating us.
- Why the [Bleep.]
would you bring that up? I'm sorry.
I meant nothing by it.
It smells like onions as soon as you walk in.
Oh, my God.
Oh, it smells so bad.
You guys won't believe what we did! We had drinks with Chef Ramsay.
They had drinks with Chef Ramsay.
It's not that I feel good that the boys are doing the punishment.
But, you know you win some, you lose some, and the boys just happen to lose all of them.
It was an awesome day.
Oh, my God, we still have all those onions over there.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
With the women back from their day of sailing, they quickly change Let's do it.
And hurry to join the men as they prepare for tonight's dinner service.
All right, guys, game time.
We're gonna get off to a great start.
We just have to be little clucking hens, just constant communicating.
Yeah, that would be brilliant.
Whoo.
Bret just slapped me on my ass.
Things are turning around.
- Ladies, line up.
- Yes, Chef.
Good afternoon.
Gentlemen, line up, please.
Let's go.
Let's be honest.
Our last service has to be our worst service we've had yet so far here in Hell's Kitchen.
And it cannot repeat tonight, let me tell you.
You have a big chance to redeem yourselves tonight, because tonight in Hell's Kitchen, it is Family night.
- Awesome.
- Awesome, Chef.
I love cooking for kids.
I have two children of my own.
So anytime I can cook for the kids and try to make that a special time for a family, I will.
Get on your stations, yes? Yes, Chef.
We got this.
- Marino.
- Yes, Chef.
Open Hell's Kitchen for family night.
Let's go.
- Perfect.
- Please.
It's an exciting night in Hell's Kitchen as Chef Ramsay has invited families to enjoy a fun-filled night with games.
And he has added to the classic menu.
There will be kid-friendly dishes, like burgers, mac 'n' cheese, and chicken strips.
_ On order, four covers, table 50.
Two scallops, one risotto, one burger.
Yes? Yes, Chef.
What's going with the scallops? I definitely want to make sure that the red team gets off to a good start.
Scallops, Sarah.
- They look [Bleep.]
from here.
- I'm sorry, Chef.
I messed up.
[Bleep.]
me, man.
Guys, my risotto's gonna overcook if you don't hurry up.

The first and last mistake of the night.
- Work it out.
Okay, get a grip now.
- Yes, Chef.
I'm [Bleep.]
serious, 'cause I'm getting a little bit [Bleep.]

Yeah, hurry up.
- Taste that.
- We just taste that.
- Oh, my God.
- Too salty.
- That is disgusting.
- Yes, Chef.
Who made that? Who [Bleep.]
made that? I put the extra salt in at the end, Chef.
I'll fix it, though.
Michelle, they're young children.
Got it, Chef.
Michelle's extra seasoning has forced Alison to start again on her mac 'n' cheese.
Don't worry.
Two minutes, two minutes.
While in the blue kitchen Two minutes to risotto, Chef.
Bret is almost ready with the refire of the first risotto ticket.
Nick, going with the lobsters for the extra risotto? - Ready? - One minute.

- Stop.
Stop.
Come here.
Bring that [Bleep.]

are we doing here? - _ - Cut the [Bleep.]
.
- Come on, guys! - Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Bret used the old risotto into the new risotto.
And you never do that.
You can't do that.
My fault, my fault, my fault, my fault.
- It's all right.
- How dare I do that? How the [Bleep.]
dare I do that? He likes to think of himself as our quarterback.
But a proper quarterback wins, you know.
Walking with the risotto.
- Very nice, that risotto.
- Yes, Chef.
Service, please.
Let's go.
Bret has now scored with his risotto, and appetizers are now moving out of the blue kitchen.

I've done this before.
I've been on meat station.

Great.
Monique strikes.
And I'm like, "you've been on this station before.
" This cannot be happening.
I need another I need another one.
Come on, ladies.
Come on, Miek.
Just run it.
On your left, Chef.
Please don't let them be raw.
Good.
Thank you, lord.
With Monique recovering on the Wellingtons Go, go, go, go.
The red kitchen begins sending out entrées to their tables.
Yeah, that's really good.
On the blue side Two risotto, Chef.
That's fine.
Service, please.
Behind.
Go, please.
Appetizers are now flying out of the kitchen.
It's good.
And they're ready to move on to entrées.
On order, table 11.
entrée.
One halibut, one Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
- Thank you, let's go.
- How's fish looking? - How's fish looking? - I got a pan right here.
- I got these hot ones.
- Walking Wellingtons.
- Heard.
Walking halibut.
- Walking halibut.
Let's go.
Come on, speed up, you.
Let's go.
You're like a corpse.
Chef Ramsay always telling me to move faster.
Hey, hey.
[Bleep.]
.
A big [Bleep.]
Frankenstein.
Move! Yes, Chef.
I'm 6'6".
I'm swift, but I'm smooth.
I ain't got to be running around all crazy.
While Milly tries to breathe life into his service, back in the red kitchen Two burger, one New York strip, one Wellington.
- I need spinach now! - Chef Ramsay is once again looking to Monique and Mieka on the meat station to keep entrées moving.
- Mieka, let's go.
- Yes, Chef.
- I'm walking to the pass with onion rings.
- Walk it, walk it.
- Walk with the New Yorks.
- It's okay.
Walk with this.
- I have the New Yorks up.
- Is the garnish okay? Come on, please.
Come on.
- Here you go, Chef.
- Sauce for the steak.
Hey, hey, hey, stop.
Stop.
All of you, come here.
Look.
Look.
Oh, my God.
Raw.
Raw, people.
Not rare, raw.
Look.
Look there.
Come on.
Really? - Who cooked that? - I cooked that steak, Chef.
Oh, my gosh.
- We have another one, Chef.
[Bleep.]
.
- I do.
- You have another one? - I do.
Mieka, no more [Bleep.]
raw meat, please.
While Mieka refires her steak, back in the blue kitchen On order, three salmon, one New York strip.
Yes, Chef.
The men are still turning out entrées at an impressive rate.
So you want to fire that one that you put in the oven.
- Yes, Sir.
Firing now.
- Four minutes to the window, Chef.
I feel like I am the leader of this blue team.
Playtime is over.
I got my eye on the prize.
I'm here to win this competition.
Solid medium rare right now, but that feels sex.
All right.
Nick, how are we looking on those three salmons? Just pulled out.
Whenever you're ready.
My garnish is ready to go.
Walk now.
New York up.
Onion rings to the pass.
Hey, all of you.
All of you.
Here we go.
Salmon soft as [Bleep.]
, New York strip cooked to [Bleep.]
.
You want to serve it? - No, Chef.
- [Bleep.]
eat it.
Hey, all of you, sit down, enjoy.
- I'm not eating it.
- [Bleep.]
eat it.
No [Bleep.]
way.
Are you kidding me? That's the one you said was sex.
Come on, let's go.
I don't see anybody cooking.
Sorry, guys.
A little cabernet to enjoy with your steak and the salmon.
It goes well.
This is embarrassing.
This is embarrassing.
Look at him drink that wine.
- You can do it.
- Come on, man.
Let's go.
As the blue team works on digesting their impromptu snack Let's go.
Three salmon, one steak.
- 5 ½, six minutes, yes.
- Okay.
In the red kitchen I'm waiting on the refire for two burger, one New York strip.
Mieka has a new strategy for making sure her steak is the right temperature.
Al, look.
There's juices.
There's blood.
I really think it's - Ask Megs, ask Megs.
- Meghan.
- Right behind you, hot.
- I think this is good.
Seriously? You have to figure it out.
I want to win this competition, and I'm not here to [Bleep.]
babysit.
Right behind you.
Un-[Bleep.]
-believable.
What'd she say? She said figure it out yourself, basically.
Where's the Wellington? Two burger, one New York strip? - Is there any more momentum? - Yes, Chef.
I'm ready to walk with burgers.
Let's go, the New York strip.
I need to slice.
- Yes, Chef.
- Come on, Mieka.
Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Behind.
Here you go, Chef.
All of you.
All of you.
There's the last New York strip.
Look how well done it is.
It's just so basic.
You have an idiot and a clown on the meat station, and they're just [Bleep.]
everything up.
Is anyone gonna step up and say anything? This is an embarrassment.
Get out.
Get out.
- Get out! - Go, go.
It's an hour and a half into Hell's Kitchen family night.
There's the last New York strip.
Look how well done it is.
And the red team has just burned their last chance for completing dinner service.
This is an embarrassment.
Get out.
- Get out! - Go, go.
This is a complete, epic [Bleep.]
show.
- Is that raw? - Yeah.
Yes.
Hey, ladies, come here.
Who cooked the burger? Burger's still raw.
Whilst you stare at your raw burger and I refire that table myself, I suggest you come up with two nominees that you do not want on your brigade.
[Bleep.]
off.
There were little kids out there.
It pisses me off completely.
There were families out there families.
Simply atrocious.
Shame on the red team.
_ While the women are rejected from the kitchen for the second service in a row, the men are on the verge of completing service, albeit a bumpy one.
You got ten-ten seconds.
Salmon.
How long? Right now, Chef.
New York strip walking.
Service, please.
No matter whether red loses and we complete dinner service, it's not a victory.
That was pathetic.
Definitely could've been a smoother night.
You know, the team as a whole, we could've done significantly better.
That was pretty terrible.
I'm gonna beat myself up about this for a little while.
That was embarrassing and pathetic.
Absolutely, Chef.
Whose raw burger was that? That was my bad.
I thought it was ready.
- I'm not kidding, like - Sarah, it's a rare burger.
I understand.
I don't know how to cook burgers.
Oh, my a burger.
Who in America does not know how to [Bleep.]
cook a burger? Sarah, I need you to bring your confidence to the [Bleep.]
party.
You are a good chef.
Stop [Bleep.]
second-guessing yourself.
Yeah, that burger was a huge problem.
But on the same token, are you [Bleep.]
seriously telling me that you guys don't know how to cook meat? I've been on that meat station.
It's so easy.
Mieka is not good.
But Monique is a complete deadweight.
She is just a body, taking up space.
Monique, straight up, it's your second time on meat.
- And you tanked, second time.
- I mean, seriously.
Yeah, I [Bleep.]
up in the beginning.
The second batch came out, they were under.
But then I got my [Bleep.]
back together.
You never got your [Bleep.]
together, Monique.
- I did.
- Oh, my God.
- Listen, meat station failed.
- Right.
And it's gonna be Monique and Mieka.
If we put both of them up, Mieka's going home.
_ I think we should strategize in the elimination.
I think we need to send Monique and Sarah up there.
If you want to strategize, that's strategy.
Yup.
Sarah, I'm sorry, but he's not gonna send you home.
Nothing personal.
I nominate you and Monique.
That's it.
You guys want to put us up in front of Chef, let's do it.
'Cause you guys know I'm not gonna go up there and sit there like, "yes, please send me home, Chef.
" I know we're taking a risk, but hopefully, our strategy works and gets Monique the [Bleep.]
up out of here.
Let the chips fall where they may.
After getting kicked out of the kitchen, the red team had to nominate two chefs for elimination.
They've come up with a strategy that they believe will result in Monique being eliminated.
What a [Bleep.]
disaster.
Michelle, red team's first nominee and why.
Our first nominee is Monique, Chef.
We feel like she's the weakest player on our team.
She hasn't helped us out in challenges or during service.
Red team's second nominee and why.
Our second nominee is Sarah, Chef.
We feel that if you can't cook hamburger, then you should be nominated.
That's crazy.
What's the matter? They thought that if I went up with Sarah instead of putting Mieka up, 'cause they all get along with Mieka, I would automatically leave.
They're [Bleep.]
delusional, but I'm not gonna argue with them, 'cause it's about your opinion, not theirs.
Okay, Sarah, Monique, step forward, please.
Monique, dreadful service.
Tell me why you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
Because I know I'm not the weakest chef.
I'm progressing every day.
And I hope that you see that.
Like, I do want to be here.
Sarah, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I had a [Bleep.]
service tonight, but I bounced back.
I am here to fight for it.
I am not here to give up.
- Tonight's performance was dreadful.
- Absolutely, Chef.
And the burger, shocking.
My decision is Sarah.
Holy [Bleep.]
.
That's what you guys get for putting her [Bleep.]
up there.
Back in line.
What? - Yes! - Oh, [Bleep.]
.
Mieka.
Give me your jacket.
Monique, back in line.
- Young lady.
- Yes, Chef.
You have no confidence in yourself, and I could see that you were done.
Give me your jacket.
Thank you for the opportunity.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Holy [Bleep.]
, I did not see that one coming.
I don't believe that what happened tonight was fair.
Monique did deserve to go home.
But, you know, life isn't fair.
Some people just get lucky.
My patience is running out.
You are supposed to get better, not worse.
[Bleep.]
off, all of you.
I'm livid.
Monique is just dead-[Bleep.]
-weight on our team.
We need her to pack her bags and go the [Bleep.]
home now.
It was a good try, girls.
You're never gonna get one past Chef Ramsay.
If they want to play around and take their eye off the prize, it'll just make it easier for us to send another one of them home.
Yo, these bitches are delusional.
Is this a game? Is this even fair? [Bleep.]
you bitches, not when it comes to me going home.
I'm [Bleep.]
tired of this [Bleep.]
.
You've heard of the saying, "the meek shall inherit the earth.
" Well, the Mieka shall not inherit the position as my next Head Chef.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen When one chef gets a compliment from Chef Ramsay Best dish I've tasted so far in this competition.
Will he create a monster You need cream.
You need mascarpone.
You need truffle butter.
I am taking control of the situation.
- I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
- No, you don't got it.
Who tears the red team apart? This is my space.
Don't touch my space.
You need to know how to cook.
[Bleep.]
out my face, bitch.
And when a chef dares to lie to Chef Ramsay You didn't go in with truffle butter yet, right, Josh? - No, I did truffle butter.
- I didn't put butter in it.
- You put a lot of butter.
- What? Don't lie to us.
Don't lie to Chef.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
If I [Bleep.]
up, I'ma say I [Bleep.]
up.
Will it lead to a total meltdown on the blue team I'm gonna throw up.
Why is everyone crying? That pushes one chef out of the competition I put my all into this.
For good? All next time on an episode Oh, Chef.
Oh, yes! you'll have to see to believe.
Oh, no! of Hell's Kitchen.
The chefs were woken up early to go diving for fish halves.
You can wake me up in the morning to go fishing anytime.
- Do they have to match exactly? - Yeah.
Meghan and T's inability to match trout halves It doesn't match.
I am not a happy camper.
Helped the men win part one of the challenge - Yes.
- Yeah! Men, well done.
Giving them a five-minute cooking advantage in part two.
Ladies, go.
But despite their late start, Mieka and Sarah's dishes received rave reviews from Michelin star judge Michael Cimarusti.
I love it.
And the fish is nicely cooked.
He loves my dish.
And when Adam got busted for sharing Milly's rice Did you take Milly's rice? - Yes, Sir.
- No shared ingredients.
What the hell are you doing? Chef Ramsay declared the red team victorious.
Ladies, well done.
At dinner service Fired the pork chop.
Nick couldn't cut it on the meat station.
He's given me raw pork twice.
And when Michael hid one of his mistakes in a hot pan under the fish station They go down and grab a pan and scald themselves.
Not surprisingly, - Chef Ramsay's anger boiled over.
- [Bleep.]
It was over here, Chef, burning.
Shut up.
Can you wait till I [Bleep.]
finish? [Bleep.]
off, all of you.
Get out.
In the red kitchen Monique, move.
Let's go a little quicker, honey.
Monique, let's just go.
Quickly.
Monique and Alison were at odds all night on the fish station.
Disgusting.
Who cooked those scallops? Monique, Chef.
Like, what a bitch move.
I can't stand Alison.
That, combined with Mieka's disastrous service Taste that salty, disgusting rice.
Sunk the red kitchen.
I've never seen such a bad service.
All of you, get out.
After one of the worst services ever Get out! Chef Ramsay was so angry James.
Where the hell are the dorms? He went to a place he has never gone before You were worse than opening night.
And demanded that both teams nominate two chefs for elimination.
The men put up Michael and Nick, while the women nominated Mieka and Christine.
In the end, it was Michael.
Who lost his chance of becoming Head Chef at Caesars Atlantic City.
Whoa! Aah! Aah! Aw.
And now the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
Now [Bleep.]
off.
Michael, he didn't belong here.
He was our weakest person in the kitchen.
Peace.
Deuces, Michael.
Come see me in Atlantic City.
I'll give you a job prep cooking.
Last night shoot.
We've lost our first roommate.
Push the beds together? Want to switch sides? Yeah, I was thinking about just sharing a bed.
Switch sides that's fine.
We can push the two together.
We've already kind of touched each other's hearts.
We did.
Right? Well, I see you guys aren't that beaten up that Michael's gone.
Who's Michael? Yah! Kra-gow, you [Bleep.]
.
Didn't even skip a beat.
Nick, where's the cervezas? Okay.
Everyone, go the patio.
Everybody was planning on going to sleep, but we need to loosen up a little bit.
That's it, that's it.
Perfect.
This is the first time we've actually had an opportunity to mingle and hang out like this.
You guys, let's play "never have I ever.
" You do five fingers, and you put down one every time you've done something.
All right, never have I ever had sexual intercourse with a female.
Oh, well, that's not fair.
Too sad.
Bret, you're up.
You're not playing or what? Bret.
What's up, Bret? Never have I ever played this game, so switch.
Bret likes to be the center of attention, and when he cannot be the center of attention, he gets salty.
_ - T, go, hon.
- Four.
Meghan, never have you ever met a guy on the first night, went home with him, and slept with him.
That's gonna put Nick out instantly.
Oh! Wait, unless she's done it as well.
After a late night of letting loose, the chefs have an early morning Guys, can we get everybody gathered around, please? Yes, Chef.
And another surprise from Chef Ramsay.
Chef, he wants you guys to put these on and run downstairs right away.
Let's go.
Come on, guys.
Like, really, jerseys? Oh, my gosh, these things are super cute.
You know, you've got the HK, got the name on the back.
Chef Ramsay, he's got something up his sleeve.
- Let's go, guys.
Come on, get in the car.
- Pile in.
Let's go.
- Girls in the front.
Let's go.
- Thank you, Chef.
Line up, please, guys.
Line up.
Football? Are you serious? There's, like, a huge American flag.
There's balls everywhere.
Chef Ramsay's in denim.
Right, good morning.
Good morning, Chef.
As we all know, football is America's favorite sport.
In many ways, it's an American classic.
I'm gonna be perfectly honest.
I am scared [Bleep.]
of playing football.
I'm usually the food nerd.
So for your next challenge, I want you to work with some great American classics An amazing mac 'n' cheese, a pizza, a burger, and delicious spaghetti.
It's up to you to put your modern twist on those American classics.
Got it? - Yes, Chef - Good.
Now each of these footballs represents an ingredient.
So 200 footballs will be launched, and then you'll pick the ingredients that you'd like to work with by gathering up the footballs.
- Clear? - Yes, Chef.
Now two of you will be making the same dish.
And on the blue team, 'cause you have one fewer chef than the red team, Randy, you are going solo, young man.
Yes, Chef.
You've all got 30 seconds right now to decide which of these dishes you'll be cooking.
- Your time starts now.
- Spaghetti.
Spaghetti.
I want the burger.
Burger.
Burger? Meghan and I get burgers.
Yay.
I'm happy.
Pizza, that's fine.
You want to do the burger, Randy, since you're by yourself? Burger, mac 'n' cheese.
I'm good with pizza.
Me and Nick get pizza.
Pizzas are what I do, Italian food.
We're not losing this game.
Okay, ready, set.
For the first part of today's challenge, each pair of chefs will work together Lobster! To catch or gather nine ingredient-labeled footballs - Ground beef.
- Button mushrooms.
That they will both use in creating their own classic dishes with a modern twist.
I got it.
I'm definitely an athletic guy.
I mean, I played sports my entire life.
But, ah, those balls are coming in with velocity.
I mean, they're heavy too.
Pasta, elbow pasta.
Josh elbows his way to the board first with pasta that he and Milly will both use to create mac 'n' cheese dishes.
Salami, salami.
I got great hands.
I've played wide receiver.
I'm good in my ability to catch balls.
Ow.
Bell peppers! Bacon! American cheese! Greek yogurt.
Watch your head.
Watch your head.
Watch your head.
Actually, I'm feeling a little nervous right now.
I don't have a plan.
Comfort food is not really my forte.
Pancetta! I ate burnt fish sticks and green beans out of a can growing up.
That's not comfort food.
That's not good food.
Randy, here, sesame buns.
Sesame buns.
I have no problem flying solo.
I was pretty confident on the burger.
It's comfort food, but you're supposed to make it all fancy-dancy.
Anybody see bacon? I wanted to make sure I got the bacon, 'cause bacon makes the world go round.
Come on, Randy.
While Randy gathers ingredients that will elevate his burger Nice.
Let's go.
Come on.
T and Michelle are making sure that they are both happy using the ones that they have chosen.
Okay, let's look at what we have.
We have pizza dough.
We have tomatoes.
You have pineapple and chicken.
T picked pineapple and chicken.
So I was a little nervous about the pineapple, but she wanted to go with it, and I knew that I could do something with it.
- Almost done.
- Okay.
Five, four, three, two, one.
Excellent, there we are.
That is it.
Let's get back to Hell's Kitchen to get changed.
Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Come on, speed up.
I'm beat right now.
I ain't athletic.
I just want to cook food and eat.
Each pair now has 40 minutes Come on, guys.
Pick it up.
To work individually with the ingredients they have chosen as a pair - You want to do the panko? - Yeah.
And put their own spin on their classic American dish.
Ow, [Bleep.]
.
I'm actually gonna go very rustic Italian on this one.
And mine's going to be a non-traditional Italian.
I was okay with being paired with Bret, only because we didn't actually really need to work together.
I'm not losing to a chicken pineapple pizza.
My Italian grandmother would've [Bleep.]
rolled over in her grave.
Get that charry, smoky flavor on there, Nick.
While Bret is feeling confident that his pizza will have the edge for the blue team Yes, Chef.
Over in the red kitchen Sorry, dude.
Sarah is still trying to make sense of the ingredients that she and Monique selected for their spaghetti.
I'm feeling a little bit frazzled.
Eggs and ham with spaghetti? - Something special, ladies.
- Yes, Chef.
I was just trying to, like, make it smart and work together.
Salt.
- Ladies, are you all plating? - Is everyone plating? I was staring at Alison's dish, and I see mac 'n' cheese on the bun.
It didn't work for me.
Coming through, hot.
Earth to Randy.
Bring the plate to the burger.
Good point.
Five, four - Mine's all soggy.
- Three, two Yummy.
One.
And serve, guys.
Good job, guys.
Whoo! Come on, man.
Okay.
I know each of you have prepared a dish.
However, for judging, I'll only be tasting one dish from each pair.
[Bleep.]
.
Decide which dish you're dropping.
Work it out.
Hurry up.
- What do you think about mine? - I think it's traditional pizza.
I think yours is too sweet, T.
- Who's got the flatbread? - Flatbread was me.
Ah, he did a really classic Italian one.
I made one.
I made a new-school.
I want to put mine up.
Somebody taste the mac 'n' cheese.
- I kind of like this one.
- It's on a roll.
Mine's I feel really good about mine, guys.
My team really wasn't even tasting my dish.
- Which one? - Yours.
Mine? T, which one? Mine? Oh, is it mine? Just because someone's louder than me doesn't mean that their dish is always gonna be better.
With Bret's? Five, four, three, two, one.
Excellent.
Today I've invited two of the most talented chefs in America.
Our first chef is a restaurateur who owns Lucques and A.
O.
C.
- Wow.
- Please welcome Chef Suzanne Goin.
Nice to see you, my darling.
Thank you so much.
Our second judge has literally just landed from New York.
The owner of many fine restaurants, including David Burke Prime, Chef David Burke.
Thank you.
Meeting these superstar chefs in person Welcome.
Nice to see you too.
It's incredible.
The esteemed guest judges will have to decide which chef has done the best job at executing a modern take on an American classic.
Um, let's start off with the battle of the pizza.
First up are Michelle and Bret.
Go get 'em, Bret.
You got it, baby.
Michelle, would you mind explaining? I have zucchini, chicken, pineapple.
And then I have goat cheese on there.
And there's also fresh mozzarella on it.
Wow.
I know right off the bat, as far as looks go, I got this.
Very well seasoned.
And I like pineapple.
I was very nervous about the pineapple, but I think that it actually does really work.
Thank you.
Bret, please explain.
I've prepared a capricciosa pizza, an old rustic Italian, with some chiffonade basil and fresh-grated parmesan on top.
- It's delicious.
- Thank you very much, Chef.
I like the salami and the olives.
A little high on the seasoning, maybe.
- That was cooked a little nicer.
- Thank you, Chef.
Let's start off with David.
Time for the flag.
Blue, wow.
Interesting.
Thank you very much, Chef.
Suzanne.
Wow.
Thank you, Chefs.
Once again, I [Bleep.]
murdered it.
Good job.
While the blue team celebrates an early lead - Good job, baby.
- Come on, Randy.
Randy and Meghan face off in the battle of The burger.
With Randy hoping that his cheese-and chili-stuffed burger Did you want to cook it well done? I would've liked it about, ah, medium rare, Chef.
Will top Meghan's burger made of spicy lamb.
All flavors I love.
- Really tasty.
- Thank you.
It's almost a gyro on a hamburger bun.
David, is it red or blue? - Wow.
- Thank you, Chef.
I promise I'm not just copying David.
I know that my dish was good.
I'd eat the [Bleep.]
out of it.
Battle of the mac 'n' cheese, please.
Let's go.
I'm feeling, like, pretty good about my mac 'n' cheese.
Let's hope for the best.
- Alison.
- Yes, Chef.
I've never seen mac 'n' cheese in a bun.
I just wanted to do something a little bit different.
Different is good, but just being different for the sake of being different is not a good enough reason.
- Yes, Chef.
- How's that, David? Uh, taste-wise, it's a little too crunchy.
Yeah.
Joshua, please explain.
I have a three-cheese bechamel, elbow macaroni, and artichoke hearts.
That's delicious.
- I like everything that's in that.
- Thank you, Chef.
Ah, let's begin with Suzanne, please.
- I'm gonna go with blue.
- Whoo! Thank you, Chef.
Very good.
David, please.
Yeah.
I knew that that dish did not look right.
It was kind of, like, confirmation that I wasn't nuts.
Time for the battle of the spaghetti.
Let's go, please.
With the men up by two in the final round, Brendan is looking to clinch a victory for his team and avoid a third straight challenge loss.
This is a play on traditional spaghetti carbonara.
It has shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, finished with a fried egg on top.
Pretty well balanced.
I'd be happy if I went to a fine dining restaurant and got something that looked like that.
- Yeah.
- It's good.
Sarah, please describe your dish.
Um, it's a little bit of parmesan, some fried kale on the bottom, some prosciutto that I fried as well, some cherry tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, zucchini, and then the egg.
_ Oh, and lobster as well.
It's got more ingredients than a puttanesca.
It was actually really delicious.
And I was afraid that each ingredient you kept I was like, "make her stop saying ingredients, please.
" - I really liked it.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chefs.
Suzanne, David, is it red or blue? It's the final round of the American classics challenge, and the men are leading by two.
Guest judges Suzanne Goin and David Burke must decide whose take on spaghetti is superior, Brendan's or Sarah's.
- Thank you.
- Thank you, Chefs.
Ah, Suzanne, please.
You guys make it tough.
But I have to go with the - Wow.
- Thank you, Chef.
Good.
David? Wow.
We have to break the tie.
So I'd like to see Sarah's dish, Meghan's dish, Bret's dish, and Joshua.
You got it, brother.
Thank you.
I'm confident.
I knew I had a great macaroni and cheese.
Back in line, please.
Thank you.
So the best dish out of these four will win the challenge overall for their team.
Across the board, the seasoning was incredible.
Yes, amazing.
- Between the two of them, I think - Mm-hmm, yeah.
- You happy with that decision? - Yes.
Well, there is an overall winner.
Congratulations Sarah, the red team.
Well done.
What? I didn't come out here to [Bleep.]
lose.
I'm [Bleep.]
furious.
- David, great to see you.
Thank you.
- It was great.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, darling.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you both.
Red team, well done.
Today you'll be heading to long beach to sail aboard an incredible 130-foot-long Oh, my God.
Historic ship named the American Pride.
There are more surprises that I feel it's apt that I don't release that here in front of the boys.
There's only so much pain that Bret can take on his face.
Ladies, get changed.
Don't forget your sunscreen.
- Off you go.
Well done.
- Thank you, Chef.
- Ah, Sarah.
- Chef? - Great job.
- Thank you, Chef.
- We won again.
- Oh, yeah, Sarah.
Good job, Sarah.
Like, I was doing, like, jumping Jacks in my head.
- Good job.
- Thank you, ma'am.
Not jumping Jacks.
That doesn't make sense.
I was maybe a twerk or two.
Did you see Bret's face? I thought he was gonna cry.
Men, you may not be crying now, but you will be shortly, because I have a shipment of over 500 pounds of onions.
When the shipment arrives, carry them all inside, unpack, and then start prepping them.
Off you go.
Head out to the patio.
Get some fresh air before you start crying.
Come on, team.
I'm not taking this [Bleep.]
by myself.
I mean, this is a team effort.
If it was an individual effort, I would've [Bleep.]
won already.
I don't need Bret to be swearing and getting all amped up.
It's not gonna help anything at all, especially when your morale's already down enough.
Bret, calm down, man.
You're tweaking out.
I'd rather be on a boat, getting [Bleep.]
faced.
I'm sure we all would rather do that, but we're not.
But we are peeling 500 pounds of onions.
I feel like people don't know how to win on my team.
It makes me crazy.
_ I can't work with him in this competition.
His attitude's toxic to the team.
I'm gonna have a [Bleep.]
brain aneurysm now.
While today's loss has clearly taken the wind out of Bret's sails, the women have taken to the high seas.
- _ - That looks amazing.
I've had a lot of first times here in Hell's Kitchen, and this is definitely an experience of a lifetime.
Grab a cocktail, ladies.
I'm always in need for a stiff drink.
So yes, thank you, baby Jesus.
I need two, actually.
Cheers.
Grab a bag, start running them in.
Breathe in to your mouth when you're cutting the onions.
It'll help.
And cue the tears.
My hands stink.
My eyes burn.
This-this does, in fact, blow.
These tears in my eyes, they're not from onions.
They're from losing.
Ain't nobody came out here to peel onions and lose, yo.
Oh, no, I don't think nobody want to lose.
Everybody pissed about that.
My team better care as much as I do, 'cause if not, I'ma start chopping 'em off real quick.
And if I have to, I'll play blue kitchen by myself.
You know, maybe some of us accept losing better than others.
- Who? Which one? - Who says that? - Which one of us? - Yeah, which one of us? - Who's going out next? - Put him out.
After losing the American classics challenge, the blue team has spent hours chopping and peeling onions, and Bret Nobody came out here to peel onions and lose, yo.
Is crying foul.
You know, maybe some of us accept losing better than others.
- Who? Which one? - Who says that? - Yeah, which one of us? - Which one of us? Put him out, please, so then that way, we can know who we need to talk to about it.
Who's going home next? I guess none of us now.
- Ain't nobody on this team want to lose.
- No, dude.
We're already down on ourselves.
We're already pissed.
We don't need anybody telling us we should've won.
We know we should've won.
Save that [Bleep.]
for your [Bleep.]
pillow, man.
As the blue team dries their eyes and deals with Bret If anybody needs a drink right now, it's me.
The red team is shedding no tears over their situation.
Fire in the hole.
- Is that Chef? - Yeah.
Dude, he's like 007.
Is it really Chef? Thought I'd join you for a cocktail.
- Yeah.
- Thank you, Chef.
Chef Ramsay looks like 007 pulling up in his speedboat.
Excellent.
How are we, ladies? I don't even like men like that, but, like, no joke, I was definitely girling it out.
You girls are on a roll, right? - Yes, Chef.
- With butter and jam.
Clearly, you're all talented individuals.
But show unity and strength as a team so you involve everybody.
Everybody.
Any kind of wisdom, any kind of knowledge that I can take from him and absorb, I'm game.
- Bye, ladies.
- Bye, Chef.
He's so awesome.
- I can't believe the girls are beating us.
- Why the [Bleep.]
would you bring that up? I'm sorry.
I meant nothing by it.
It smells like onions as soon as you walk in.
Oh, my God.
Oh, it smells so bad.
You guys won't believe what we did! We had drinks with Chef Ramsay.
They had drinks with Chef Ramsay.
It's not that I feel good that the boys are doing the punishment.
But, you know you win some, you lose some, and the boys just happen to lose all of them.
It was an awesome day.
Oh, my God, we still have all those onions over there.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
With the women back from their day of sailing, they quickly change Let's do it.
And hurry to join the men as they prepare for tonight's dinner service.
All right, guys, game time.
We're gonna get off to a great start.
We just have to be little clucking hens, just constant communicating.
Yeah, that would be brilliant.
Whoo.
Bret just slapped me on my ass.
Things are turning around.
- Ladies, line up.
- Yes, Chef.
Good afternoon.
Gentlemen, line up, please.
Let's go.
Let's be honest.
Our last service has to be our worst service we've had yet so far here in Hell's Kitchen.
And it cannot repeat tonight, let me tell you.
You have a big chance to redeem yourselves tonight, because tonight in Hell's Kitchen, it is Family night.
- Awesome.
- Awesome, Chef.
I love cooking for kids.
I have two children of my own.
So anytime I can cook for the kids and try to make that a special time for a family, I will.
Get on your stations, yes? Yes, Chef.
We got this.
- Marino.
- Yes, Chef.
Open Hell's Kitchen for family night.
Let's go.
- Perfect.
- Please.
It's an exciting night in Hell's Kitchen as Chef Ramsay has invited families to enjoy a fun-filled night with games.
And he has added to the classic menu.
There will be kid-friendly dishes, like burgers, mac 'n' cheese, and chicken strips.
_ On order, four covers, table 50.
Two scallops, one risotto, one burger.
Yes? Yes, Chef.
What's going with the scallops? I definitely want to make sure that the red team gets off to a good start.
Scallops, Sarah.
- They look [Bleep.]
from here.
- I'm sorry, Chef.
I messed up.
[Bleep.]
me, man.
Guys, my risotto's gonna overcook if you don't hurry up.
As Sarah struggles with her scallops Get it on the [Bleep.]
flame.
Don't use the flat top.
This is direct heat.
Over in the blue kitchen, Chef Ramsay is hoping the men can get off to a better start.
On order, four covers, table 22.
Two risotto, fire.
- One burger, one mac 'n' cheese.
- Yes, Chef.
- Thank you.
- First do risotto.
Six minutes.
Start the risotto.
Thank you.
- Yes, Chef.
- Already working, Chef.
Good.
Let's go.
Hey, let me take over, Bret.
- Heard.
- Thank you very much.
I want to take charge of this station.
I want to show chef that I can cook.
Come on.
Two risotto? Walking riso.
Good.
Thank you.
[Bleep.]
, now.
- Blue team.
Come here, all of you.
- Yes, Chef.
First ticket, two risotto, and I've got barely 1 ½ portions.
- Working hard, Chef.
Working hard.
- Barely.
Fan-[Bleep.]
-tastic.
Brendan, he might be making some pretty good risotto, but he's not making enough for two people.
The first and last mistake of the night.
- Work it out.
Okay, get a grip now.
- Yes, Chef.
I'm [Bleep.]
serious, 'cause I'm getting a little bit [Bleep.]
pissed off.
Brendan [Bleep.]
up.
Now I have to grab him.
I'ma throw him over my shoulders, and we gonna swim to safety.
Working hard, Chef.
Four minutes.
While Bret comes to the rescue at the appetizer station, over in the red kitchen Scallops.
These are cooked nicely.
Sarah has rebounded on the scallops.
Go, please.
And families on the red side - are happy with what they're receiving.
- This is really good.
At least for now.
Four covers, table 33, yes? One burger, one mac 'n' cheese, two risotto.
Yes, Chef.
Okay, let's do this.
Let's continue.
Let's try and see if we can keep the balls rolling.
Mac 'n' cheese is ready.
Mac 'n' cheese is ready.
- All right, heard.
- _ Moving, moving.
Yeah, yeah? Here.
Here, here, here, here.
Chef, mac 'n' cheese.
Okay then? Oh, my God.
[Bleep.]
me.
- Hey, all of you.
- Yes, Chef.
Come here.
Yeah, hurry up.
- Taste that.
- We just taste that.
- Oh, my God.
- Too salty.
- That is disgusting.
- Yes, Chef.
Who made that? Who [Bleep.]
made that? I put the extra salt in at the end, Chef.
I'll fix it, though.
Michelle, they're young children.
Got it, Chef.
Michelle's extra seasoning has forced Alison to start again on her mac 'n' cheese.
Don't worry.
Two minutes, two minutes.
While in the blue kitchen Two minutes to risotto, Chef.
Bret is almost ready with the refire of the first risotto ticket.
Nick, going with the lobsters for the extra risotto? - Ready? - One minute.
One minute, heard.
I don't mind taking control of situations, especially if I feel like I have a handle on it.
I got this [Bleep.]
.
I got this.
Two risotto.
- Yes, Chef.
- Stop.
Stop.
Come here.
Bring that [Bleep.]
pan and bring that pan here.
- All of you, come here.
- Yes, Chef.
That's the old risotto that's gone three, four minutes ago, dumped into the fresh one.
- Yes, Chef.
- What in the [Bleep.]
are we doing? Now we're in trouble.
Cut the [Bleep.]
.
Bret! It's 35 minutes into family night in Hell's Kitchen, and Bret's shortcut on risotto has Chef Ramsay asking What the [Bleep.]
are we doing here? - _ - Cut the [Bleep.]
.
- Come on, guys! - Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Bret used the old risotto into the new risotto.
And you never do that.
You can't do that.
My fault, my fault, my fault, my fault.
- It's all right.
- How dare I do that? How the [Bleep.]
dare I do that? He likes to think of himself as our quarterback.
But a proper quarterback wins, you know.
Walking with the risotto.
- Very nice, that risotto.
- Yes, Chef.
Service, please.
Let's go.
Bret has now scored with his risotto, and appetizers are now moving out of the blue kitchen.
All right, fellas, let's regroup.
Meanwhile, in the red kitchen Let's go.
With the appetizers nearly done, Chef Ramsay looks to Monique to deliver on Two Wellington.
How long on two Wellington, guys? - Walking up now, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
I know what I'm doing.
I've done this before.
I've been on meat station.
I got this.
Two welly, Chef.
- All of you.
Hurry up.
- Yes, Chef.
When you see white fat running through there, what is that? - Undercooked.
- Undercooked.
Who cooked the Wellington? I did, Chef.
It's like you don't care.
- We care, Chef.
We do.
- Really? Yes, Chef.
- Go grab another one.
- Let's just go.
Hey, you have a refire on two Wellingtons.
Great.
Monique strikes.
And I'm like, "you've been on this station before.
" This cannot be happening.
I need another I need another one.
Come on, ladies.
Come on, Miek.
Just run it.
On your left, Chef.
Please don't let them be raw.
Good.
Thank you, lord.
With Monique recovering on the Wellingtons Go, go, go, go.
The red kitchen begins sending out entrées to their tables.
Yeah, that's really good.
On the blue side Two risotto, Chef.
That's fine.
Service, please.
Behind.
Go, please.
Appetizers are now flying out of the kitchen.
It's good.
And they're ready to move on to entrées.
On order, table 11.
entrée.
One halibut, one Wellington.
Yes, Chef.
- Thank you, let's go.
- How's fish looking? - How's fish looking? - I got a pan right here.
- I got these hot ones.
- Walking Wellingtons.
- Heard.
Walking halibut.
- Walking halibut.
Let's go.
Come on, speed up, you.
Let's go.
You're like a corpse.
Chef Ramsay always telling me to move faster.
Hey, hey.
[Bleep.]
.
A big [Bleep.]
Frankenstein.
Move! Yes, Chef.
I'm 6'6".
I'm swift, but I'm smooth.
I ain't got to be running around all crazy.
While Milly tries to breathe life into his service, back in the red kitchen Two burger, one New York strip, one Wellington.
- I need spinach now! - Chef Ramsay is once again looking to Monique and Mieka on the meat station to keep entrées moving.
- Mieka, let's go.
- Yes, Chef.
- I'm walking to the pass with onion rings.
- Walk it, walk it.
- Walk with the New Yorks.
- It's okay.
Walk with this.
- I have the New Yorks up.
- Is the garnish okay? Come on, please.
Come on.
- Here you go, Chef.
- Sauce for the steak.
Hey, hey, hey, stop.
Stop.
All of you, come here.
Look.
Look.
Oh, my God.
Raw.
Raw, people.
Not rare, raw.
Look.
Look there.
Come on.
Really? - Who cooked that? - I cooked that steak, Chef.
Oh, my gosh.
- We have another one, Chef.
[Bleep.]
.
- I do.
- You have another one? - I do.
Mieka, no more [Bleep.]
raw meat, please.
While Mieka refires her steak, back in the blue kitchen On order, three salmon, one New York strip.
Yes, Chef.
The men are still turning out entrées at an impressive rate.
So you want to fire that one that you put in the oven.
- Yes, Sir.
Firing now.
- Four minutes to the window, Chef.
I feel like I am the leader of this blue team.
Playtime is over.
I got my eye on the prize.
I'm here to win this competition.
Solid medium rare right now, but that feels sex.
All right.
Nick, how are we looking on those three salmons? Just pulled out.
Whenever you're ready.
My garnish is ready to go.
Walk now.
New York up.
Onion rings to the pass.
Hey, all of you.
All of you.
Here we go.
Salmon soft as [Bleep.]
, New York strip cooked to [Bleep.]
.
You want to serve it? - No, Chef.
- [Bleep.]
eat it.
Hey, all of you, sit down, enjoy.
- I'm not eating it.
- [Bleep.]
eat it.
No [Bleep.]
way.
Are you kidding me? That's the one you said was sex.
Come on, let's go.
I don't see anybody cooking.
Sorry, guys.
A little cabernet to enjoy with your steak and the salmon.
It goes well.
This is embarrassing.
This is embarrassing.
Look at him drink that wine.
- You can do it.
- Come on, man.
Let's go.
As the blue team works on digesting their impromptu snack Let's go.
Three salmon, one steak.
- 5 ½, six minutes, yes.
- Okay.
In the red kitchen I'm waiting on the refire for two burger, one New York strip.
Mieka has a new strategy for making sure her steak is the right temperature.
Al, look.
There's juices.
There's blood.
I really think it's - Ask Megs, ask Megs.
- Meghan.
- Right behind you, hot.
- I think this is good.
Seriously? You have to figure it out.
I want to win this competition, and I'm not here to [Bleep.]
babysit.
Right behind you.
Un-[Bleep.]
-believable.
What'd she say? She said figure it out yourself, basically.
Where's the Wellington? Two burger, one New York strip? - Is there any more momentum? - Yes, Chef.
I'm ready to walk with burgers.
Let's go, the New York strip.
I need to slice.
- Yes, Chef.
- Come on, Mieka.
Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
Behind.
Here you go, Chef.
All of you.
All of you.
There's the last New York strip.
Look how well done it is.
It's just so basic.
You have an idiot and a clown on the meat station, and they're just [Bleep.]
everything up.
Is anyone gonna step up and say anything? This is an embarrassment.
Get out.
Get out.
- Get out! - Go, go.
It's an hour and a half into Hell's Kitchen family night.
There's the last New York strip.
Look how well done it is.
And the red team has just burned their last chance for completing dinner service.
This is an embarrassment.
Get out.
- Get out! - Go, go.
This is a complete, epic [Bleep.]
show.
- Is that raw? - Yeah.
Yes.
Hey, ladies, come here.
Who cooked the burger? Burger's still raw.
Whilst you stare at your raw burger and I refire that table myself, I suggest you come up with two nominees that you do not want on your brigade.
[Bleep.]
off.
There were little kids out there.
It pisses me off completely.
There were families out there families.
Simply atrocious.
Shame on the red team.
_ While the women are rejected from the kitchen for the second service in a row, the men are on the verge of completing service, albeit a bumpy one.
You got ten-ten seconds.
Salmon.
How long? Right now, Chef.
New York strip walking.
Service, please.
No matter whether red loses and we complete dinner service, it's not a victory.
That was pathetic.
Definitely could've been a smoother night.
You know, the team as a whole, we could've done significantly better.
That was pretty terrible.
I'm gonna beat myself up about this for a little while.
That was embarrassing and pathetic.
Absolutely, Chef.
Whose raw burger was that? That was my bad.
I thought it was ready.
- I'm not kidding, like - Sarah, it's a rare burger.
I understand.
I don't know how to cook burgers.
Oh, my a burger.
Who in America does not know how to [Bleep.]
cook a burger? Sarah, I need you to bring your confidence to the [Bleep.]
party.
You are a good chef.
Stop [Bleep.]
second-guessing yourself.
Yeah, that burger was a huge problem.
But on the same token, are you [Bleep.]
seriously telling me that you guys don't know how to cook meat? I've been on that meat station.
It's so easy.
Mieka is not good.
But Monique is a complete deadweight.
She is just a body, taking up space.
Monique, straight up, it's your second time on meat.
- And you tanked, second time.
- I mean, seriously.
Yeah, I [Bleep.]
up in the beginning.
The second batch came out, they were under.
But then I got my [Bleep.]
back together.
You never got your [Bleep.]
together, Monique.
- I did.
- Oh, my God.
- Listen, meat station failed.
- Right.
And it's gonna be Monique and Mieka.
If we put both of them up, Mieka's going home.
_ I think we should strategize in the elimination.
I think we need to send Monique and Sarah up there.
If you want to strategize, that's strategy.
Yup.
Sarah, I'm sorry, but he's not gonna send you home.
Nothing personal.
I nominate you and Monique.
That's it.
You guys want to put us up in front of Chef, let's do it.
'Cause you guys know I'm not gonna go up there and sit there like, "yes, please send me home, Chef.
" I know we're taking a risk, but hopefully, our strategy works and gets Monique the [Bleep.]
up out of here.
Let the chips fall where they may.
After getting kicked out of the kitchen, the red team had to nominate two chefs for elimination.
They've come up with a strategy that they believe will result in Monique being eliminated.
What a [Bleep.]
disaster.
Michelle, red team's first nominee and why.
Our first nominee is Monique, Chef.
We feel like she's the weakest player on our team.
She hasn't helped us out in challenges or during service.
Red team's second nominee and why.
Our second nominee is Sarah, Chef.
We feel that if you can't cook hamburger, then you should be nominated.
That's crazy.
What's the matter? They thought that if I went up with Sarah instead of putting Mieka up, 'cause they all get along with Mieka, I would automatically leave.
They're [Bleep.]
delusional, but I'm not gonna argue with them, 'cause it's about your opinion, not theirs.
Okay, Sarah, Monique, step forward, please.
Monique, dreadful service.
Tell me why you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen.
Because I know I'm not the weakest chef.
I'm progressing every day.
And I hope that you see that.
Like, I do want to be here.
Sarah, why should you stay in Hell's Kitchen? Chef, I had a [Bleep.]
service tonight, but I bounced back.
I am here to fight for it.
I am not here to give up.
- Tonight's performance was dreadful.
- Absolutely, Chef.
And the burger, shocking.
My decision is Sarah.
Holy [Bleep.]
.
That's what you guys get for putting her [Bleep.]
up there.
Back in line.
What? - Yes! - Oh, [Bleep.]
.
Mieka.
Give me your jacket.
Monique, back in line.
- Young lady.
- Yes, Chef.
You have no confidence in yourself, and I could see that you were done.
Give me your jacket.
Thank you for the opportunity.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Holy [Bleep.]
, I did not see that one coming.
I don't believe that what happened tonight was fair.
Monique did deserve to go home.
But, you know, life isn't fair.
Some people just get lucky.
My patience is running out.
You are supposed to get better, not worse.
[Bleep.]
off, all of you.
I'm livid.
Monique is just dead-[Bleep.]
-weight on our team.
We need her to pack her bags and go the [Bleep.]
home now.
It was a good try, girls.
You're never gonna get one past Chef Ramsay.
If they want to play around and take their eye off the prize, it'll just make it easier for us to send another one of them home.
Yo, these bitches are delusional.
Is this a game? Is this even fair? [Bleep.]
you bitches, not when it comes to me going home.
I'm [Bleep.]
tired of this [Bleep.]
.
You've heard of the saying, "the meek shall inherit the earth.
" Well, the Mieka shall not inherit the position as my next Head Chef.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen When one chef gets a compliment from Chef Ramsay Best dish I've tasted so far in this competition.
Will he create a monster You need cream.
You need mascarpone.
You need truffle butter.
I am taking control of the situation.
- I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
- No, you don't got it.
Who tears the red team apart? This is my space.
Don't touch my space.
You need to know how to cook.
[Bleep.]
out my face, bitch.
And when a chef dares to lie to Chef Ramsay You didn't go in with truffle butter yet, right, Josh? - No, I did truffle butter.
- I didn't put butter in it.
- You put a lot of butter.
- What? Don't lie to us.
Don't lie to Chef.
Oh, [Bleep.]
.
If I [Bleep.]
up, I'ma say I [Bleep.]
up.
Will it lead to a total meltdown on the blue team I'm gonna throw up.
Why is everyone crying? That pushes one chef out of the competition I put my all into this.
For good? All next time on an episode Oh, Chef.
Oh, yes! you'll have to see to believe.
Oh, no! of Hell's Kitchen.
