Previously on
MasterChef...
2
00:00:02,588 --> 00:00:04,744
(Narrator) Thousands lined up
from around America,
3
00:00:04,769 --> 00:00:05,969
for the chance to compete.
4
00:00:05,994 --> 00:00:07,355
I'm gonna be
the next MasterChef.
5
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:09,271
I am the next MasterChef.
6
00:00:09,296 --> 00:00:10,963
MasterChef,
here I come.
7
00:00:10,988 --> 00:00:13,425
One hundred were chosen
to present their signature
8
00:00:13,450 --> 00:00:15,225
dishes to the MasterChef judges.
9
00:00:15,250 --> 00:00:17,493
Gordon Ramsay ate Sushi
off of me.
10
00:00:17,891 --> 00:00:19,189
Some tasted success.
11
00:00:19,214 --> 00:00:20,544
All right.
Yes.
12
00:00:20,569 --> 00:00:21,211
Ahhh!
13
00:00:21,236 --> 00:00:22,669
Others went down in flames.
14
00:00:22,694 --> 00:00:23,894
I'm willing to learn.
15
00:00:23,919 --> 00:00:25,119
Sorry, that's a no.
16
00:00:25,144 --> 00:00:27,232
But the judges came
to one conclusion.
17
00:00:27,675 --> 00:00:29,830
We've given out
quite a few aprons
18
00:00:29,855 --> 00:00:31,055
and we don't do that lightly.
19
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,805
The standard is there.
20
00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:36,038
(Narrator) Tonight, even more
home cooks, step up to the plate.
21
00:00:36,063 --> 00:00:38,888
Prepare to be taken down
by your mama.
22
00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:40,298
In a bid to win an apron...
23
00:00:40,323 --> 00:00:41,345
I have to fight.
24
00:00:41,370 --> 00:00:42,570
And take their first step
25
00:00:42,595 --> 00:00:44,084
on the road to becoming
26
00:00:44,109 --> 00:00:47,179
America's next MasterChef.
27
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:50,180
MasterChef 2x02
Auditions #2
Original Air Date on June 7, 2011
28
00:00:50,181 --> 00:00:52,681
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
29
00:00:52,682 --> 00:00:56,631
It's the beginning of day 2 and the
judges are hungry for perfect dishes.
30
00:00:57,539 --> 00:01:00,684
Anticipation is in the air as
the first batch of home cooks
31
00:01:00,709 --> 00:01:04,628
create the dishes that could
change their lives forever.
32
00:01:06,459 --> 00:01:08,928
First up, a pool boy
is about to dive in
33
00:01:08,953 --> 00:01:11,562
and put his own twist
on a British classic.
34
00:01:11,587 --> 00:01:13,874
So I'm doing an
English-style sausage roll
35
00:01:13,899 --> 00:01:15,247
with a Italian twist on it.
36
00:01:16,303 --> 00:01:18,415
My names Dustin,
I live in Orlando, Florida
37
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:19,640
and I'm a pool technician.
38
00:01:20,577 --> 00:01:22,278
I really like my job.
It's really mello,
39
00:01:22,303 --> 00:01:24,618
laid back you know. Do what
I wanna do really.
40
00:01:24,643 --> 00:01:26,956
Cooking has always been
one of my passions.
41
00:01:27,112 --> 00:01:28,396
I love cooking Italian food.
42
00:01:28,481 --> 00:01:29,764
I have
the Italian background.
43
00:01:29,849 --> 00:01:31,382
What you
got going here, son?
44
00:01:31,433 --> 00:01:33,184
My mom introduced me
to cooking.
45
00:01:33,235 --> 00:01:36,454
And now she got diagnosed
with breast cancer.
46
00:01:36,522 --> 00:01:38,022
So everything
my mom's been through--
47
00:01:38,090 --> 00:01:39,524
I mean, really, it's...
48
00:01:39,591 --> 00:01:41,226
You know, she's really--
like, I look up to her.
49
00:01:41,277 --> 00:01:42,694
I mean, she's
been through a lot.
50
00:01:42,761 --> 00:01:44,529
And she raised four boys,
counting my dad, you know.
51
00:01:44,596 --> 00:01:46,080
So she's
a strong Italian woman.
52
00:01:46,165 --> 00:01:48,383
But she's the one who
brought me into the kitchen,
53
00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:51,319
so I would love to win
MasterChef for her.
54
00:01:51,387 --> 00:01:53,137
(Narrator)
What Dustin doesn't know
55
00:01:53,189 --> 00:01:56,858
is his mom has secretly
flown in from Florida
56
00:01:56,942 --> 00:01:59,460
to support him.
57
00:02:01,163 --> 00:02:02,280
Heh!
[Giggles]
58
00:02:02,331 --> 00:02:05,283
Wha--
[Cheers and applause]
59
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:08,119
Ha-ha!
Seriously?
60
00:02:08,170 --> 00:02:09,454
Seriously!
61
00:02:11,023 --> 00:02:12,323
And right now she's going
through some tough times
62
00:02:12,374 --> 00:02:14,309
with, you know,
breast cancer and stuff,
63
00:02:14,393 --> 00:02:15,593
and you know,
it's just amazing
64
00:02:15,644 --> 00:02:17,145
that she just
found time to fly out here
65
00:02:17,229 --> 00:02:19,430
you know, just for
her baby boy, you know?
66
00:02:19,498 --> 00:02:20,932
I was so excited
67
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,083
that I could be out here
to do this.
68
00:02:22,167 --> 00:02:23,334
I'm so excited.
69
00:02:23,385 --> 00:02:26,221
[Cheers and applause]
70
00:02:31,543 --> 00:02:33,428
(Narrator)
After their one hour
in the prep kitchen,
71
00:02:33,512 --> 00:02:36,197
each home cook is
then given five minutes
72
00:02:36,282 --> 00:02:40,151
to complete their dish
in front of the judges.
73
00:02:40,202 --> 00:02:42,637
If two judges think
a home cook has what it takes,
74
00:02:42,721 --> 00:02:44,806
they'll be awarded
a MasterChef apron
75
00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:47,425
and move to the next
round of the competition.
76
00:02:50,129 --> 00:02:51,296
How you guys doing?
How are you?
77
00:02:51,363 --> 00:02:52,580
Good.
First name is?
78
00:02:52,665 --> 00:02:54,616
My name's Dustin.
Good, what are you cooking?
79
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:58,069
So I'm doing a traditional
English-style sausage roll
80
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,404
with an Italian twist on it.
Wow, hold on a minute.
81
00:03:00,456 --> 00:03:02,540
Sausage roll?
Yeah, a sausage roll.
82
00:03:02,591 --> 00:03:04,042
Here?
Yeah.
83
00:03:04,093 --> 00:03:06,094
Well, I figure--
I figured English, Italian.
84
00:03:06,161 --> 00:03:07,312
Try to, you know, killtwo birds with one stone.
85
00:03:07,379 --> 00:03:09,397
I'm [bleep] Scottish.
86
00:03:09,481 --> 00:03:10,949
Ah...
[Laughing]
87
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,985
That's worse.
I love sausage rolls.
88
00:03:14,053 --> 00:03:15,620
Look how excited
this guy is.
89
00:03:15,671 --> 00:03:17,155
I love them,
what's your twist?
90
00:03:17,222 --> 00:03:19,173
Well, instead of
using the banger sausage,
91
00:03:19,241 --> 00:03:21,525
I useda spicy Italian sausage.
92
00:03:21,577 --> 00:03:24,412
And then I also madea little creamy marinara
93
00:03:24,496 --> 00:03:26,998
to go on the plate.
Kinda spicy and sweet.
94
00:03:27,065 --> 00:03:30,001
In England, it comes in
a paper bag, the sausage roll.
95
00:03:30,068 --> 00:03:31,986
Look at you.What have you wrapped it in?
96
00:03:32,071 --> 00:03:33,605
It's actually just
puff pastry.
97
00:03:33,656 --> 00:03:35,340
I just hope
you guys like it.
98
00:03:35,407 --> 00:03:37,375
[Scratching noise]
Listen to that noise.
99
00:03:37,443 --> 00:03:39,060
Would this be, like,
a main course or a hot dog?
100
00:03:39,144 --> 00:03:40,428
I mean, what do you--
hot dog?
101
00:03:40,512 --> 00:03:42,563
Don't insult
the [bleep] sausage roll.
102
00:03:42,631 --> 00:03:44,949
Hot dog? No.Look at that thing.
103
00:03:45,017 --> 00:03:47,302
What's that?
A little parmesan cheese.
104
00:03:47,369 --> 00:03:49,237
Oh, God.
What's that now?
105
00:03:49,321 --> 00:03:51,239
What's the second...
Add a little parsley.
106
00:03:51,323 --> 00:03:53,124
Trust me, look at--
wait, I'm not done.
107
00:03:53,175 --> 00:03:54,592
I'm not done here.
What's that?
108
00:03:54,643 --> 00:03:56,160
Little basil Pesto
just for show.
109
00:03:56,228 --> 00:03:57,595
Just for show.
110
00:03:57,646 --> 00:03:59,113
You're putting Pestoon a sausage roll?
111
00:03:59,181 --> 00:04:01,032
Not on it.
Around it.
112
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:03,267
I've gotta go first,
I'm sorry.
113
00:04:03,335 --> 00:04:05,620
The sauce,what's in there?
114
00:04:05,688 --> 00:04:08,706
Just marinara, cream,a little bit of garlic, pepper.
115
00:04:20,653 --> 00:04:21,903
[Chuckles]
116
00:04:21,987 --> 00:04:23,888
Oh, chef, how aboutsome for the rest of us?
117
00:04:23,955 --> 00:04:26,124
[Chuckles]
118
00:04:26,191 --> 00:04:29,527
Oh.
119
00:04:29,595 --> 00:04:31,612
Stop him.
[Chuckles]
120
00:04:37,336 --> 00:04:39,336
That...
121
00:04:39,388 --> 00:04:40,872
Was [bleep] delicious.
122
00:04:40,939 --> 00:04:42,373
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
123
00:04:42,441 --> 00:04:43,708
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
124
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:44,926
Amazing, sorry.
[Chuckles]
125
00:04:45,010 --> 00:04:46,444
That was amazing.
126
00:04:46,512 --> 00:04:49,147
Do you got any left over here?
Some--any end pieces?
127
00:04:49,214 --> 00:04:51,783
All right.
[Sighs]
128
00:04:55,621 --> 00:04:57,255
It really is yummy.
129
00:04:57,322 --> 00:04:58,890
I'm psyched.
Thank you very much.
130
00:04:58,957 --> 00:05:00,491
Now, if I didn't know
any better,
131
00:05:00,559 --> 00:05:02,677
I would accuse you
of pandering to the judge,
132
00:05:02,745 --> 00:05:04,095
but obviously itworked, so.
133
00:05:04,162 --> 00:05:06,097
You're playing
to his childhood memory?
134
00:05:06,165 --> 00:05:08,566
Can I eat this with my hands?
Is this, like, a...?
135
00:05:08,617 --> 00:05:10,268
Hey, eat it however
you wanna eat it.
136
00:05:10,335 --> 00:05:12,086
[Chuckles]
137
00:05:13,739 --> 00:05:15,123
I don't know, I never even
heard of a sausage roll
138
00:05:15,207 --> 00:05:16,391
until about
five minutes ago, so...
139
00:05:19,111 --> 00:05:20,194
It goes hand in glove.
140
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,029
Pint of beer,
sausage roll.
141
00:05:22,114 --> 00:05:23,681
Yes or no?
142
00:05:23,732 --> 00:05:25,767
Uh, yes.
143
00:05:25,834 --> 00:05:27,769
Graham, yes or no?
Yes.
144
00:05:27,853 --> 00:05:29,337
Come here.
That's it, you've got it.
145
00:05:31,256 --> 00:05:33,141
That was delicious.
Really good, indeed.
146
00:05:33,225 --> 00:05:34,375
Thank you very much.
Well done.
147
00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:41,933
Yes, Dustin!
I knew it!
148
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,668
(Narrator)
So the very first
home cook of the day
149
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,687
wins an apron.
I knew it!
150
00:05:46,772 --> 00:05:50,074
A sausage roll.
I feel full now.
151
00:05:50,142 --> 00:05:52,276
[Cheers and applause]
[Yelling indistinctly]
152
00:05:52,344 --> 00:05:54,879
(Narrator)
But can the next in line...
[Bleep]
153
00:05:54,947 --> 00:05:56,748
(Narrator)
Roll through just as easily?
154
00:05:56,815 --> 00:05:59,316
I'm making
a honey apple-smoked risotto
155
00:05:59,368 --> 00:06:01,219
with an egg yolk.
I'm slightly worried
156
00:06:01,286 --> 00:06:02,186
the fact that
it's not even moving.
157
00:06:05,791 --> 00:06:08,025
It's lacking flavor.
Oh!
158
00:06:08,093 --> 00:06:09,677
I think we got a fumble here.
It's a no.
159
00:06:09,745 --> 00:06:10,695
No.No.
160
00:06:10,763 --> 00:06:11,829
No.No.
161
00:06:11,897 --> 00:06:13,314
We went
all over the country,
162
00:06:13,398 --> 00:06:14,649
and you'reone of the 100 people
163
00:06:14,733 --> 00:06:16,184
that made it to California.
164
00:06:16,268 --> 00:06:17,852
[Laughing]
165
00:06:17,936 --> 00:06:19,170
Hello?
(Narrator)
Next...
166
00:06:19,221 --> 00:06:21,773
Does a single mom
from Sopchoppy, Florida
167
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,325
have the stomach
for this competition?
168
00:06:24,409 --> 00:06:26,110
The wine
is for my nerves.
169
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:28,446
It's my secret weapon.
170
00:06:28,514 --> 00:06:29,781
My name
is Christine Corley,
171
00:06:29,848 --> 00:06:31,916
and I live in Florida,
172
00:06:31,967 --> 00:06:33,084
and I'm a single mom.
173
00:06:33,152 --> 00:06:35,086
[Squealing, laughing]
174
00:06:35,154 --> 00:06:37,989
Most people
don't wanna go home and cook.
175
00:06:38,056 --> 00:06:39,323
But that's all
I really wanna do.
176
00:06:39,391 --> 00:06:41,042
It's like
a stress reliever.
177
00:06:41,109 --> 00:06:43,277
My dad's a great cook.
This is my dad,
178
00:06:43,345 --> 00:06:45,580
who's cleaning a squirrel.
179
00:06:45,647 --> 00:06:48,099
So for
all the redneck cooking,
180
00:06:48,167 --> 00:06:49,967
I'll go to my dad
for advice.
181
00:06:50,035 --> 00:06:53,137
But my style of cooking
is modern.
182
00:06:53,188 --> 00:06:54,505
Winning would mean
183
00:06:54,573 --> 00:06:56,340
knowing that I could
provide a great future
184
00:06:56,408 --> 00:06:57,325
for me and my son.
185
00:06:57,392 --> 00:06:58,943
[Cheers and applause]
186
00:06:59,010 --> 00:07:01,229
I think I have what it takes
to be the next Master Chef.
187
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,017
Hey.[Giggles]
188
00:07:06,084 --> 00:07:08,286
I had to have a drink
on the way here, so...
189
00:07:08,337 --> 00:07:09,904
Hey.
190
00:07:09,988 --> 00:07:10,855
Hi.
Hi.
191
00:07:10,922 --> 00:07:12,356
Hi, I'm Christine.
192
00:07:12,407 --> 00:07:13,558
Great,what are you cooking?
193
00:07:13,625 --> 00:07:16,327
I'm cooking soft-shell crab.
Nice.
194
00:07:16,395 --> 00:07:19,063
Creamy polenta,and some coleslaw.
195
00:07:19,131 --> 00:07:20,748
Okay.
I'm a little fruitcake,
so...
196
00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:22,183
Okay.
Yeah.
197
00:07:22,267 --> 00:07:25,052
I'm from Sopchoppy.
I'm a single mom, recently.
198
00:07:25,137 --> 00:07:26,354
Okay.Sorry to hear that.
199
00:07:26,438 --> 00:07:27,972
That's all right,
he was a [bleep].
200
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,974
[Chuckles]
They always are.
201
00:07:30,042 --> 00:07:31,042
They always are,
that's right.
202
00:07:31,109 --> 00:07:32,260
[Sizzling sounds]
203
00:07:32,344 --> 00:07:33,544
Aw, man.
Well, you don't get that one.
204
00:07:33,595 --> 00:07:36,480
You get this one.
205
00:07:36,548 --> 00:07:37,698
Let us know
when you're ready--
206
00:07:37,766 --> 00:07:38,966
I'm ready.
For us to taste.
207
00:07:39,051 --> 00:07:40,968
Let's go.
208
00:07:41,036 --> 00:07:42,904
Okay, Christine,
I'm first.
209
00:07:55,117 --> 00:07:57,835
Polenta is instant?
210
00:07:57,886 --> 00:07:58,986
No, sir.
211
00:08:10,465 --> 00:08:12,783
Gonna steal the claw.
Don't tell him I did that.
212
00:08:12,834 --> 00:08:14,518
Oh, bad boy.
Mm-hmm.
213
00:08:14,570 --> 00:08:16,654
Put that claw back down.
[Chuckles]
214
00:08:16,705 --> 00:08:18,489
Christine.
Yes, sir?
215
00:08:18,557 --> 00:08:19,824
Love the confidence.
Thanks.
216
00:08:19,891 --> 00:08:22,076
What kind of food
did you grow up with?
217
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,794
Crap.
Crap, as in...?
218
00:08:23,862 --> 00:08:25,963
Like, [bleep].
Oh, [bleep], right.
219
00:08:26,014 --> 00:08:28,165
I grew up very poor,
so it's like fried chicken
220
00:08:28,216 --> 00:08:29,817
and S.O.S.--
Which is [bleep] on a shingle.
221
00:08:29,902 --> 00:08:32,570
It's like toast,
and then we put ground beef,
222
00:08:32,621 --> 00:08:34,639
and then we put
some white gravy on it.
223
00:08:34,706 --> 00:08:35,873
Both: [Chuckles]
224
00:08:39,861 --> 00:08:41,228
Okay.
225
00:08:41,296 --> 00:08:43,097
Joe, yes or no?
226
00:08:45,517 --> 00:08:47,702
I think that everything
together on that plate
227
00:08:47,786 --> 00:08:49,186
might make
a good sandwich.
228
00:08:49,237 --> 00:08:53,307
But as a MasterChef dish...
229
00:08:53,392 --> 00:08:54,742
I'm gonna have
to say no.
230
00:08:56,662 --> 00:08:57,445
All right, Graham,
yes or no?
231
00:08:57,529 --> 00:08:58,813
[Clears throat]
232
00:08:58,897 --> 00:09:00,381
I think there
are few things in the world
233
00:09:00,449 --> 00:09:02,984
that are as sensuous as
a soft-shell crab...
234
00:09:04,686 --> 00:09:06,654
And I thought
you did it justice.
235
00:09:06,722 --> 00:09:08,339
Oh.
- And I loved the slaw, too.
236
00:09:08,407 --> 00:09:10,491
Not a fan of the polenta,
but I'm giving it a yes.
237
00:09:10,575 --> 00:09:13,277
Thank you.
238
00:09:13,345 --> 00:09:16,847
Um...
Soft-shell crab...Polenta,
239
00:09:16,915 --> 00:09:21,102
definitely not.
Doesn't work at all.
240
00:09:21,186 --> 00:09:23,137
You seem to have a...
241
00:09:23,221 --> 00:09:24,605
a connection with food.
242
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:26,791
Yeah.
And you were sort of
243
00:09:26,842 --> 00:09:29,276
almost dealt
a dysfunctional card
244
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:31,579
growing up on the crap that
you just explained that you ate.
245
00:09:33,615 --> 00:09:35,933
I loved the slaw.
Thank you.
246
00:09:36,001 --> 00:09:38,970
But I think what you've
done to the soft-shell crab...
247
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:41,188
Um...
248
00:09:50,594 --> 00:09:51,696
Let us know
when you're ready--
249
00:09:51,697 --> 00:09:53,198
I'm ready.
For us to taste.
250
00:09:53,266 --> 00:09:54,466
Let's go.

So far,
251
00:09:54,517 --> 00:09:56,468
Christine,
a single mom from Florida,
252
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:59,604
got a no from Joe,
and a yes from Graham.
253
00:09:59,656 --> 00:10:03,341
Her fate now lies in
Gordon's hands.
254
00:10:03,393 --> 00:10:05,828
I love the slaw.
Thank you.
255
00:10:05,912 --> 00:10:08,747
But I think what you've
done to the soft-shell crab...
256
00:10:08,814 --> 00:10:11,550
Um...
257
00:10:15,688 --> 00:10:16,722
was phenomenal.
258
00:10:16,789 --> 00:10:17,856
Congratulations.
259
00:10:17,907 --> 00:10:18,891
For me it's a yes.
260
00:10:18,958 --> 00:10:21,326
[Laughing]
261
00:10:21,377 --> 00:10:23,629
Put this on with pride.

[Crying, giggles]
263
00:10:25,698 --> 00:10:27,165
And get out there.
264
00:10:27,217 --> 00:10:28,851
Well done.
Good job.
265
00:10:28,935 --> 00:10:30,068
Mm-hmm.
266
00:10:30,119 --> 00:10:34,806
[Cheers and applause]
267
00:10:34,858 --> 00:10:36,408
Just wanted to
make everybody proud.
268
00:10:36,459 --> 00:10:38,310
I knew something
would happen one day.
269
00:10:38,361 --> 00:10:40,178
I just needed a break.

her victory,

[upbeat reggae music plays]
272

The next home cook
is ready to celebrate
273
00:10:48,004 --> 00:10:49,654
before he's even begun.
274
00:10:49,706 --> 00:10:51,290
How are you?
Whoo!

Ready you're not,
crazy you are.
278
00:10:57,063 --> 00:10:58,130
A little bit.
279
00:10:58,198 --> 00:10:59,514
What are you cooking
for us today?
280
00:10:59,599 --> 00:11:02,784
Today I have
a bacon strawberry
281
00:11:02,869 --> 00:11:05,153
with a garlichorseradish lebony
282
00:11:05,238 --> 00:11:08,190
and a orange-blueberryvodka reduction.
283
00:11:08,274 --> 00:11:09,775
All right,what were you smoking
284
00:11:09,826 --> 00:11:11,510
when you putthat dish together?
285
00:11:14,931 --> 00:11:16,148
Joe, would you liketo go first?
286
00:11:16,199 --> 00:11:17,983
(Joe)Sure.
287
00:11:19,936 --> 00:11:21,253
It's kinda like
bacon bits.
288
00:11:26,292 --> 00:11:29,077
Look at that.
Come on.
289
00:11:32,548 --> 00:11:34,600
Sadly, the dish
leaves me filled with dread.
290
00:11:34,667 --> 00:11:36,351
You're not
only outside the box,
291

No!
[Chuckles]
293
00:11:40,006 --> 00:11:41,273
Definitely not.

I know
that you speak French,

00:12:04,731 --> 00:12:06,431
and just to say hello.
305
00:12:06,499 --> 00:12:07,633
I cooked to you
306
00:12:07,700 --> 00:12:10,002
white chocolate brownie
surprise today.
307
00:12:10,069 --> 00:12:11,837
I'm just gonna try these
and make sure they're good.
308
00:12:11,888 --> 00:12:13,772
Next.
I'm not even gonna eat this,
309
00:12:13,823 --> 00:12:16,241
because I think
it's conceptually wrong,
310
00:12:16,292 --> 00:12:18,493
it's executed poorly,
it smells bad.
311
00:12:18,578 --> 00:12:20,062
What have you doneto the COD?
312
00:12:20,146 --> 00:12:21,163
I baked it.
For how long?
313
00:12:21,247 --> 00:12:22,664
Three weeks?
314
00:12:22,732 --> 00:12:24,199
It sat there and just
went to [bleep] sitting there.

Yeah, it's like you
[bleep] on it.
316

Yeah.
317
00:12:27,370 --> 00:12:28,720
Disgusting.
318
00:12:28,771 --> 00:12:30,072
This is something
that people like me to make.

Are they still alive?
320
00:12:31,774 --> 00:12:33,258
You did it two ways,
321
00:12:33,309 --> 00:12:34,576

322
00:12:34,644 --> 00:12:36,611

The day's already half over.

00:12:57,450 --> 00:12:59,918
This dish
that you present,
328
00:12:59,985 --> 00:13:03,522
it's a reflection
of what you think of us.
329
00:13:03,573 --> 00:13:05,390
So if you put downsomething that's
330
00:13:05,441 --> 00:13:07,993
overcooked, underseasoned,
overseasoned,
331
00:13:08,044 --> 00:13:10,295
you're saying that
we don't really give a damn

about what's going on here.
333
00:13:12,115 --> 00:13:14,499
This is
an opportunity for you.

Don't waste your time,
don't waste our time.

Okay, now
let's see some good dishes.

So no pressure
on the next in line.

I'm a bit of a mess.

00:13:29,332 --> 00:13:32,150
My name is Derrick,
and I'm in a death metal band.
340
00:13:33,703 --> 00:13:35,821
I make my living
sitting in front of a computer

all day building websites.
342
00:13:37,306 --> 00:13:39,758
A little piece of me dies
when I think about that.

my passion of cooking...
344
00:13:41,861 --> 00:13:42,961
That's it.

00:13:50,319 --> 00:13:51,553
How are you?
347
00:13:51,637 --> 00:13:53,372
Good, chef, how are you?
Very well, indeed.
348
00:13:53,423 --> 00:13:54,639
Thanks, buddy.
What are you cooking?
349
00:13:54,690 --> 00:13:57,676
I have homemade chorizo
on a potato sopa
350

with somefire-roasted salsa.
351
00:13:59,445 --> 00:14:00,562
So you made
the sausage at home?
352
00:14:00,646 --> 00:14:02,547
No, no, no,
I made it here.
353
00:14:02,598 --> 00:14:06,351
It's a blend of pork bellyand pork rib meat.
354
00:14:06,402 --> 00:14:08,887
Do you have a passion
for making sausage?
355
00:14:08,938 --> 00:14:11,006
Oh, everything I
can do myself is what I do.
356
00:14:11,090 --> 00:14:12,374
Like, I make my own bread.
357
00:14:12,458 --> 00:14:13,959
You know, I haven't
bought pasta in two years.
358
00:14:14,026 --> 00:14:15,310
What's in the bowl?
359
00:14:15,395 --> 00:14:17,596
This is
fire-roasted salsa.
360
00:14:17,663 --> 00:14:20,966
I roasted tomatoes and
poblanos under the broiler.
361
00:14:21,033 --> 00:14:24,202
I threw them in thefood processor with some lime.
362
00:14:24,253 --> 00:14:27,389
Now we are ready to taste.
363
00:14:27,457 --> 00:14:30,341
Okay, brave move,
homemade chorizo.
364
00:14:30,393 --> 00:14:31,860
I mean, very brave.
365
00:14:43,806 --> 00:14:46,475
Is that you at your best
on a plate?
366
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:49,127
Yeah, it's-it's--
I feel like it is.
367
00:14:56,119 --> 00:14:57,402
I'm just really thrilled
368
00:14:57,453 --> 00:14:59,971
that you guys are
even just tasting this.
369
00:15:23,596 --> 00:15:24,763
Love the energy.
370
00:15:24,830 --> 00:15:27,065
You've got
a big pair of [bleep]
371
00:15:27,133 --> 00:15:29,017
to come in here and make
a chorizo sausage
372
00:15:29,101 --> 00:15:30,919
in under 60 minutes.
373
00:15:31,003 --> 00:15:32,637
Did it work?
374
00:15:36,909 --> 00:15:38,693
Yes, it did.
[Sighs]
375
00:15:38,778 --> 00:15:41,263
I'm in. Delicious.
Thank you, Chef.
376
00:15:41,330 --> 00:15:44,499
I had no idea where
you were going with that dish.
377
00:15:44,584 --> 00:15:46,318
It's not somethingthat sounds
378
00:15:46,385 --> 00:15:47,786
particularly intriguing
to me.
379
00:15:47,853 --> 00:15:50,355
When I tasted it,
380
00:15:50,423 --> 00:15:51,356
it was...
381
00:15:54,443 --> 00:15:55,527
Amazing.
382
00:15:55,578 --> 00:15:57,529
Just frying the sopa--
383
00:15:57,580 --> 00:15:59,447
the fry technique on that
was so perfect.
384
00:15:59,532 --> 00:16:00,949
It was crispy,
it wasn't greasy,
385
00:16:01,017 --> 00:16:02,334
it was light,
it wasn't damp.
386
00:16:02,401 --> 00:16:04,936
You nailed it.
Really great, top to bottom.
387
00:16:04,987 --> 00:16:06,505
Congratulations.I'm a big yes for you.
388
00:16:06,572 --> 00:16:07,856
Thank you, chef.
Graham?
389
00:16:07,940 --> 00:16:09,707
You're what this
competition's all about.
390
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:11,709
Ha-ha!
Come here.
391
00:16:11,761 --> 00:16:14,296
Thank you.
Thank you, chef.
392
00:16:14,363 --> 00:16:15,514
Awesome.
Good stuff.
393
00:16:15,581 --> 00:16:16,631
Good stuff.
Thank you.
394
00:16:16,699 --> 00:16:17,649
For me...
Thank you for everything.
395
00:16:17,716 --> 00:16:19,434
One to watch.
You are the one.
396
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:22,103
[Cheers and applause]
397
00:16:26,676 --> 00:16:28,826
I've never even seen
a dish that looks like this.
398
00:16:28,878 --> 00:16:30,412
But it tastes amazing.
399
00:16:30,496 --> 00:16:31,980
This guy really
knows what he's doing.
400
00:16:32,064 --> 00:16:34,432
[Cheers and applause]
Baby, I told you!
401
00:16:34,483 --> 00:16:36,551
To cook for
three culinary geniuses--
402
00:16:36,636 --> 00:16:38,270
that was pretty bad ass.
403
00:16:38,321 --> 00:16:39,304
(Narrator)
Coming up...
404
00:16:39,372 --> 00:16:41,773
A lawyer pleads her case.
405
00:16:41,841 --> 00:16:44,009
If there's any chancefor me to fight for this,
406
00:16:44,060 --> 00:16:45,443
I have to fight.
407
00:16:45,511 --> 00:16:50,181
It's not court of law.
Please.
408
00:16:50,233 --> 00:16:51,983
(Narrator)
And the competition
gets out of control.
409
00:16:52,034 --> 00:16:54,319
Pieces of [bleep].
410
00:16:54,370 --> 00:16:56,154
Security.
[Loud bang]
411
00:17:00,433 --> 00:17:01,129
Well done.
412
00:17:01,154 --> 00:17:02,273
(Narrator) So far tonight
413
00:17:02,274 --> 00:17:04,676
just three home cooks
have been awarded an apron
414
00:17:04,677 --> 00:17:06,161
and taken their place
415
00:17:06,245 --> 00:17:08,012
in the next stage
of the competition.
416
00:17:08,063 --> 00:17:11,950
Up next is Bob Rafferty
from Massachusetts.
417
00:17:12,017 --> 00:17:14,385
[Tractor humming]
418
00:17:14,453 --> 00:17:16,921
Farmer Bob believes
his organic ingredients
419
00:17:16,989 --> 00:17:20,275
will sow the seeds
of MasterChef success.
420
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,677
What I love
about farming is that
421
00:17:22,745 --> 00:17:24,312
I can take
the pick of the crop.
422
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:26,181
That if I wanna make
an eggplant parmesan,
423
00:17:26,248 --> 00:17:28,516
that I can go pick
the perfect eggplant.
424
00:17:28,584 --> 00:17:30,985
You're looking at
America's next Master Chef.
425
00:17:33,405 --> 00:17:34,756
First name is?
My name is Bob.
426
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,024
I'm from
Lowell, Massachusetts.
427
00:17:36,108 --> 00:17:37,342
I'm an organic farmer.
428
00:17:37,393 --> 00:17:39,143
Animal farming?
Vegetables.
429
00:17:39,211 --> 00:17:41,596
But I also do work
with another poultry farmer
430
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,265
in order to get
the composted manure,
431
00:17:44,333 --> 00:17:46,334
to stay organic on my farm.
What are you cooking?
432
00:17:46,418 --> 00:17:48,920
What I'm doing
is what I like to call
433
00:17:48,987 --> 00:17:50,538
a reverse surf & turf.
434
00:17:50,606 --> 00:17:53,024
So the protein is actually
the tuna in this one,
435
00:17:53,075 --> 00:17:54,742
and then I have
the coconut chicken medallions
436
00:17:54,810 --> 00:17:56,727
with the Chinese five spice.
437
00:17:56,779 --> 00:17:58,112
What happened to the pepper?Did someone slice it?
438
00:17:58,197 --> 00:17:59,397
It looks like a crown.
439
00:17:59,448 --> 00:18:01,799
Uh, yes, I
carved out the top of it,
440
00:18:01,850 --> 00:18:03,167
to make a dipping cup
out of it.
441
00:18:03,219 --> 00:18:05,203
Okay, creative, Bob.
Wow.
442
00:18:05,271 --> 00:18:07,722
You talk passionately
about organic farming,
443
00:18:07,790 --> 00:18:09,473
yet we have no ingredients
from the farm,
444
00:18:09,525 --> 00:18:11,626
and you've got Ahi tunafrom the pacific.
445
00:18:11,710 --> 00:18:13,077
Right.
I'm a little bit confused.
446
00:18:13,145 --> 00:18:15,630
I did not bring
anything from my farm.
447
00:18:17,633 --> 00:18:19,067
There you are, gentlemen.
448
00:18:19,134 --> 00:18:20,718
Are we ready to taste?
449
00:18:20,769 --> 00:18:22,387
Be my guests.
450
00:18:22,454 --> 00:18:24,472
Well, the tuna,
451
00:18:24,540 --> 00:18:26,324
I wanna slice through there.
Okay.
452
00:18:26,391 --> 00:18:29,060
And it's seared, it's gonna
be pink, chilled, stone cold?
453
00:18:29,111 --> 00:18:30,561
What am I looking for
in there?
454
00:18:30,613 --> 00:18:32,363
There should besome rareness in the middle.
455
00:18:35,801 --> 00:18:37,151
It is rare.
456
00:18:43,459 --> 00:18:44,475
[Sighs]
Bob.
457
00:18:44,543 --> 00:18:47,195
Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob.
458
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:49,497
All right, Bob.
459
00:19:00,526 --> 00:19:02,076
Joe, yes or no?
460
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,015
Um, I don't think it's
461
00:19:07,099 --> 00:19:08,683
kind of at the level
we're looking at,
462
00:19:08,767 --> 00:19:11,386
so I'm gonna say no.
Graham.
463
00:19:11,453 --> 00:19:13,071
I don't question
your integrity,
464
00:19:13,138 --> 00:19:15,223
but I do question
your cooking skills.
465
00:19:15,307 --> 00:19:17,358
I'm a no.
[Sighs]
466
00:19:17,443 --> 00:19:19,210
There's no charm
in your food.
467
00:19:19,278 --> 00:19:22,363
Farmer Bob, I'm sorry,
e-I-e-I-no.
468
00:19:23,983 --> 00:19:25,650
I probably
should've just stayed
469
00:19:25,701 --> 00:19:27,585
with New England style
comfort cooking.
470
00:19:27,636 --> 00:19:29,604
Which I didn't.
I tried.
471
00:19:29,688 --> 00:19:31,155
[Cheers and applause]
I tried.
472
00:19:31,223 --> 00:19:32,890
(Narrator)
But unlike farmer Bob,
473
00:19:32,941 --> 00:19:35,993
not everyone can
dish it out and take it.
474
00:19:36,045 --> 00:19:37,461
How we doing today,
gentlemen?
475
00:19:37,513 --> 00:19:39,047
Good.
What are you cooking, big boy?
476
00:19:39,131 --> 00:19:40,915
Today we are
going to be cooking
477
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,867
something
called redneck Sushi.
478
00:19:42,935 --> 00:19:44,535
Redneck Sushi?
Redneck Sushi, yeah.
479
00:19:44,586 --> 00:19:46,321
So it's a blend
of Sushi and barbecue.
480
00:19:47,973 --> 00:19:49,774
First time
I've ever heard of that.
481
00:19:49,842 --> 00:19:51,943
What's the secret of it?
The barbecue saucethat I make,
482
00:19:52,010 --> 00:19:53,411
it's a white
barbecue sauce.
483
00:19:53,462 --> 00:19:55,096
A white--
a white barbecue sauce.
484
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:57,815
It's basically
just a mayonnaise base.
485
00:19:57,866 --> 00:19:59,283
What is the actual meat?
486
00:19:59,351 --> 00:20:01,302
What cut, what animal?
It's a chicken breast.
487
00:20:01,387 --> 00:20:02,753
Is it braised?
488
00:20:02,805 --> 00:20:05,540
Normally what I do is
I do a beer butt chicken.
489
00:20:07,426 --> 00:20:10,361
I spice rub it,put the beer inside of it
490
00:20:10,412 --> 00:20:13,665
to make sure it's
really nice and moist.
491
00:20:13,732 --> 00:20:14,999
I've never had chicken
in a Sushi.
492
00:20:16,635 --> 00:20:17,869
It's ready for
you gentlemen to eat.
493
00:20:19,772 --> 00:20:20,972
[Coughs]
494
00:20:21,023 --> 00:20:22,874
[Bleep]
You call that Sushi?
495
00:20:22,925 --> 00:20:26,027
Yeah, absolutely.
I can call that Sushi.
496
00:20:26,111 --> 00:20:28,296
It-it's clearly a no,
I'm sorry.
497
00:20:28,364 --> 00:20:30,198
It works for me,
so I think it's a yes.
498
00:20:33,235 --> 00:20:35,870
For me, it's a no.
499
00:20:39,091 --> 00:20:41,059
Pieces of [bleep].
500
00:20:41,126 --> 00:20:42,577
Those guys
are so full of [bleep].
501
00:20:42,661 --> 00:20:44,562
They don't even know
what the [bleep] They're doing.
502
00:20:44,613 --> 00:20:46,214
[Banging thud]
503
00:20:46,298 --> 00:20:48,766
That guy's gonna come back
and kick your ass, man.
504
00:20:48,834 --> 00:20:51,369
Security!
505
00:20:51,437 --> 00:20:52,970
(Narrator)
The next home cook
506
00:20:53,021 --> 00:20:54,505
has put everything
on the line
507
00:20:54,556 --> 00:20:57,442
in an attempt
to achieve her dream.
508
00:20:57,509 --> 00:20:59,644
[Giggles]
My name is Esther.
509
00:20:59,712 --> 00:21:01,129
I live in L.A.,
I'm 28 years old,
510
00:21:01,196 --> 00:21:02,580
and I'm an attorney.
511
00:21:02,631 --> 00:21:06,050
I was good at it, but
I recently quit my law firm job.
512
00:21:06,101 --> 00:21:07,618
Ah.
Ah.
513
00:21:07,686 --> 00:21:10,405
So I could pursue food.
514
00:21:10,489 --> 00:21:13,775
So now my world
is the culinary world.
515
00:21:13,859 --> 00:21:17,261
I feel like as much as
it was a big risk for me,
516
00:21:17,312 --> 00:21:21,265
my husband has given me
the opportunity to do this
517
00:21:21,316 --> 00:21:23,484
so I wanna do well for him.
518
00:21:23,569 --> 00:21:26,537
[Cheers and applause]
And I'm gonna bring it.
519
00:21:26,588 --> 00:21:28,406
I'm gonna bring it like
no one else has brought it.
520
00:21:28,457 --> 00:21:30,324
I'm gonna kill it.
I'm gonna stomp on it.
521
00:21:30,409 --> 00:21:31,876
[Laughing]
522
00:21:31,943 --> 00:21:34,078
I'm coming.
523
00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:38,983
Hi.
How are you?
524
00:21:39,034 --> 00:21:40,118
Well, thank you.
How are you?
525
00:21:40,169 --> 00:21:41,418
I'm doing all right.
526
00:21:41,470 --> 00:21:43,020
Uh, right,
what are you cooking?
527
00:21:43,088 --> 00:21:46,390
I am cooking a Korean
spicy braised COD with daikon,
528
00:21:46,458 --> 00:21:48,192
two ways.
Great.
529
00:21:48,243 --> 00:21:49,527
And what's your day job?What do you do for a living?
530
00:21:49,595 --> 00:21:51,629
I'm an attorney.
Okay.
531
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,065
And actually, I was at
a big law firm until last year
532
00:21:54,133 --> 00:21:58,202
when I quit my job
because I realized that
533
00:21:58,253 --> 00:22:00,955
no matter how high
I get as an attorney,
534
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:02,206
it's not gonna fulfill me.
535
00:22:02,274 --> 00:22:03,774
I'm a little
bit puzzled the fact
536
00:22:03,826 --> 00:22:05,359
that you've given up
a high-powered job.
537
00:22:05,444 --> 00:22:06,944
After a couple years,
I'm like, "okay,
538
00:22:06,995 --> 00:22:08,412
what does my soul say?"
539
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,531
Your soul says
something is wrong,
540
00:22:10,616 --> 00:22:12,083
and you have to
find out what it is.
541
00:22:12,150 --> 00:22:14,185
And that's what it was.
542
00:22:14,253 --> 00:22:15,553
Yeah.
I have to go into business.
543
00:22:15,621 --> 00:22:17,155
My soul tells me you've
got 15 seconds left...
544
00:22:17,222 --> 00:22:18,506
Okay.
To get it on a plate.
545
00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:20,208
Otherwise, we'llbe tasting fresh air.
546
00:22:22,928 --> 00:22:25,613
Happy?Yes.
547
00:22:27,399 --> 00:22:29,066
Right, how do you
rate your food out of ten?
548
00:22:29,117 --> 00:22:30,701
What would you give yourself?
Marking?
549
00:22:30,752 --> 00:22:33,337
It would be a nine.
Mm-hmm.
550
00:22:33,388 --> 00:22:35,139
A nine?
551
00:22:37,142 --> 00:22:39,310
The daikon's actually
meant to be eaten with the rice.
552
00:22:39,361 --> 00:22:40,478
You asking me or
telling me?
553
00:22:40,545 --> 00:22:43,097
I'm--
554
00:22:50,556 --> 00:22:53,591
mmm.
Daikon, fine, pleasant.
555
00:22:53,658 --> 00:22:55,243
So there's
something missing there.
556
00:22:55,310 --> 00:22:57,295
In the bottom, there's supposed
to be a pool of sauce
557
00:22:57,346 --> 00:22:59,764
that is hot.
You forgot the sauce?
558
00:22:59,815 --> 00:23:03,835
That's what
I planned to do, and...
559
00:23:03,886 --> 00:23:06,303
I'll make
smarter mistakes.
560
00:23:09,591 --> 00:23:10,625
All right.
561
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,198
A little more acid
would've given it a kick
562
00:23:17,282 --> 00:23:19,984
to really set off
the richness of the fish.
563
00:23:29,962 --> 00:23:31,262
What do you think, chef?
564
00:23:31,330 --> 00:23:33,264
For me, the sad news
is that it actually...
565
00:23:33,315 --> 00:23:35,316
Looks better than
it tastes.
566
00:23:37,553 --> 00:23:39,570
In there, you might
see something missing,
567
00:23:39,638 --> 00:23:41,005
but I hope you
see something in me.
568
00:23:41,073 --> 00:23:43,674
You're not gonna
sit there and preach to me...
569
00:23:43,725 --> 00:23:45,443
Mm-hmm?
That that is perfection.
570
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,080
For me, it's a no.
571
00:23:49,131 --> 00:23:51,148
Oh.
572
00:23:51,216 --> 00:23:55,085
I can feel the determination
in the room.
573
00:23:55,137 --> 00:23:57,905
This means so
incredibly much to me.
574
00:23:57,973 --> 00:24:00,992
I believe that...
575
00:24:01,059 --> 00:24:03,010
I wanna see moreof what you can do,
576
00:24:03,078 --> 00:24:05,830
so I'm gonna
give you a yes.
577
00:24:08,116 --> 00:24:10,585
Joe, please.
578
00:24:10,652 --> 00:24:13,638
Is there anything
I can say?
579
00:24:13,689 --> 00:24:15,389
I don't think you need
to plead your case anymore.
580
00:24:15,474 --> 00:24:17,642
Okay.
It's not court of law.
581
00:24:17,709 --> 00:24:19,610
We're looking forAmerica's master chef.
582
00:24:19,661 --> 00:24:22,863
If there is any chance
for me to fight for this,
583
00:24:22,948 --> 00:24:25,099
I have to fight.
584
00:24:25,167 --> 00:24:28,452
It's certainly nota restaurant quality dish.
585
00:24:28,503 --> 00:24:30,271
Joe, please, I wou--
there's some mistakes
586
00:24:30,339 --> 00:24:32,807
in the execution.
587
00:24:32,891 --> 00:24:36,193
The whole thing is,
at the end of the day,
588
00:24:36,261 --> 00:24:38,479
it's not that impressive.
Please.
589
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,453
For me, it's a no.
Oh.
590
00:24:49,521 --> 00:24:51,122
(Narrator)
28-year-old Esther gave up
591
00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:52,606
her career as an attorney
592
00:24:52,691 --> 00:24:53,574
to pursue
her love of cooking.
593
00:24:53,642 --> 00:24:56,077
I'm gonna give you a yes.
594
00:24:56,144 --> 00:24:59,497
(Narrator)
Could it be the biggest
mistake of her life?
595
00:24:59,564 --> 00:25:02,299
If there is any chance
for me to fight for this,
596
00:25:02,351 --> 00:25:04,201
I have to fight.
597
00:25:04,252 --> 00:25:05,603
Joe, please.
598
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:08,506
At the end of the day,
it's not that impressive.
599
00:25:08,557 --> 00:25:11,425
Please.
600
00:25:14,262 --> 00:25:16,180
But...
601
00:25:16,248 --> 00:25:18,666
You are impressive,
and I'm gonna say yes.
602
00:25:18,750 --> 00:25:21,502
Because I think that
I see something in you
603
00:25:21,570 --> 00:25:23,003
that I wanna see more of.
604
00:25:23,088 --> 00:25:25,056
Don't let me down.
605
00:25:25,107 --> 00:25:26,941
Thank you.
606
00:25:29,111 --> 00:25:30,711
Oh.
607
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:37,001
[Cheers and applause]
608
00:25:39,121 --> 00:25:42,623
I'm grateful, but...
I have a lot more to do.
609
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:45,009
I'm ready to fight.
610
00:25:45,077 --> 00:25:47,011
You're guilty.
611
00:25:47,078 --> 00:25:49,580
We'll see what happens.
612
00:25:49,647 --> 00:25:53,350
(Narrator)
Esther successfully
pleaded for her apron...
613
00:25:53,402 --> 00:25:56,303
But can the next in line
engineer his success
614
00:25:56,388 --> 00:25:58,222
with a very different
approach?
615
00:25:58,289 --> 00:25:59,907
Go, Alvin!
I'm Alvin.
616
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:02,893
I'm 28 years old,
from Houston, Texas.
617
00:26:02,944 --> 00:26:05,529
America's never seen
a Master Chef like me.
618
00:26:05,580 --> 00:26:09,366
I've got over there
a homemade immersion circulator,
619
00:26:09,418 --> 00:26:11,869
and what I'm doing with that
is creating an egg
620
00:26:11,936 --> 00:26:13,504
with a uniform texture
all the way through.
621
00:26:13,555 --> 00:26:16,741
[Bubbling noise]
Molecular gastronomy
622
00:26:16,808 --> 00:26:19,627
is a fancy word for saying
science in the kitchen.
623
00:26:19,711 --> 00:26:21,495
We take common foods
624
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,564
and mix them with
slightly uncommon ingredients.
625
00:26:23,648 --> 00:26:27,952
We can alter the textures,
alter the format of food
626
00:26:28,003 --> 00:26:30,571
and really create surprising
elements to put on a plate.
627
00:26:33,658 --> 00:26:35,159
You're the best, Alvin.
[Chuckles]
628
00:26:35,210 --> 00:26:37,895
[Cheers and applause]
629
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,350
What is
on that trolley?
630
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:46,737
Well, I have a homemade
immersion circulator here.
631
00:26:46,805 --> 00:26:50,057
It has held the water bathat 63.2 degrees celsius
632
00:26:50,142 --> 00:26:52,426
in which
I've cooked an egg,
633
00:26:52,511 --> 00:26:54,044
which is reallythe star of my plate.
634
00:26:54,112 --> 00:26:55,646
Loco moco,
the Hawaiian classic.
635
00:26:55,713 --> 00:26:57,598
A braised beef short rib,
636
00:26:57,682 --> 00:26:59,850
short grain sticky rice
in a wonton shell,
637
00:26:59,918 --> 00:27:03,287
and then top it off
with the 63-degree egg.
638
00:27:03,338 --> 00:27:04,605
Is that it?
This is it.
639
00:27:06,274 --> 00:27:08,509
So...Wow.
640
00:27:08,577 --> 00:27:13,247
Judging the egg,it should just flow and melt.
641
00:27:13,331 --> 00:27:15,182
Knife in.
642
00:27:19,437 --> 00:27:21,205
Is that what you wanted?
Yeah.
643
00:27:21,256 --> 00:27:22,740
It's pretty close.
644
00:27:40,141 --> 00:27:41,659
Some short rib action.
645
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:45,629
That egg kinda
breaks into the rice.
646
00:27:45,697 --> 00:27:46,997
Yes.
647
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:49,016
I wish I had
two mouths to eat this.
648
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:49,984
Thank you so much, Chef.
649
00:28:01,696 --> 00:28:03,163
Graham, yes or no?
650
00:28:03,248 --> 00:28:04,899
I'm a yes.
651
00:28:04,983 --> 00:28:06,500
Thank you, Chef.
Joe, yes or no?
652
00:28:13,909 --> 00:28:16,477
Yes.
Definitely yes.
653
00:28:16,545 --> 00:28:18,863
You have
three big yeses.
654
00:28:18,914 --> 00:28:20,047
Thank you, chefs! Oh!
Congratulations.
655
00:28:20,131 --> 00:28:22,032
Yeah!
Get that on.
656
00:28:22,083 --> 00:28:23,233
Thank you so much.
Well-deserved.
657
00:28:23,285 --> 00:28:25,619
You are a freak genius.
658
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,805
You can't be that creative
and not work in the industry,
659
00:28:27,856 --> 00:28:30,190
let me tell you.
Get out of here.
660
00:28:30,275 --> 00:28:31,775
All right.
Well done.
661
00:28:31,826 --> 00:28:34,678
[Cheers and applause]
662
00:28:36,898 --> 00:28:39,700
This apron means that
I will be the next Master Chef.
663
00:28:41,452 --> 00:28:42,286
Game on.
664
00:28:44,756 --> 00:28:46,557
(Narrator)
For the next two home cooks,
665
00:28:46,608 --> 00:28:49,310
MasterChef has become
a family affair.
666
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:51,712
You could put
anyone here next to me,
667
00:28:51,796 --> 00:28:53,297
and I just
can't really fathom
668
00:28:53,348 --> 00:28:55,382
the whole that's
my mom right there.
669
00:28:55,467 --> 00:28:57,368
I'm competing
against my son,
670
00:28:57,435 --> 00:29:00,087
but I think I've had
a couple of years on him.
671
00:29:00,171 --> 00:29:02,439
So I think
he better watch out.
672
00:29:02,490 --> 00:29:04,775
I wish her
the best of luck
673
00:29:04,826 --> 00:29:06,777
and that they'll be
no hard feelings
674
00:29:06,845 --> 00:29:08,245
if she goes home early.
675
00:29:08,296 --> 00:29:09,630
[Cheers and applause]
676
00:29:09,714 --> 00:29:13,167
Prepare to be
taken down by your mama.
677
00:29:13,251 --> 00:29:15,886
[Applause]
678
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:17,788
Hello.
679
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:19,156
Hello.
Good afternoon.
680
00:29:19,224 --> 00:29:20,274
Howdy.
First name is?
681
00:29:20,358 --> 00:29:21,659
Denise.
Denise.
682
00:29:21,710 --> 00:29:23,711
And who are you with?
My son,
683
00:29:23,795 --> 00:29:24,828
who's competing
against me today.
684
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:26,297
He's what?
Oh.
685
00:29:26,364 --> 00:29:27,681
He's competing against me.
Wow.
686
00:29:27,749 --> 00:29:29,283
Family feud.
Yes.
687
00:29:31,036 --> 00:29:33,437
So our big question is
are you better
688
00:29:33,488 --> 00:29:34,805
than your mother?
689
00:29:34,873 --> 00:29:36,090
Yes.Ooh.
690
00:29:36,157 --> 00:29:37,407
I know I can cook better,
I just--
691
00:29:37,459 --> 00:29:39,143
you throw your mom
under the bus pretty easily.
692
00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:40,828
I'm not throwing
my mom under the bus!
693
00:29:40,912 --> 00:29:43,063
Is he competitive?
Very.
694
00:29:43,148 --> 00:29:44,798
I'm not being mean
to my mom, but...
695
00:29:44,883 --> 00:29:46,233
He's being honest.
I'm being very honest.
696
00:29:46,318 --> 00:29:48,185
I mean, I love my son,
697
00:29:48,236 --> 00:29:50,487
but this is
like one against one.
698
00:29:50,555 --> 00:29:51,689
Okay, let's put it this way,
who's the better cook?
699
00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:52,856
I am the better cook.
700
00:29:52,907 --> 00:29:54,725
I mean, she can pretend
701
00:29:54,776 --> 00:29:57,411
and have all these
dreams of being better,
702
00:29:57,495 --> 00:29:58,696
but I know
I can cook better.
703
00:29:58,763 --> 00:30:00,447
If you get through
and he doesn't...?
704
00:30:00,532 --> 00:30:01,799
So sad.
705
00:30:01,850 --> 00:30:04,601
Right.
[Chuckles]
706
00:30:04,669 --> 00:30:06,303
Who does it mean
most to?
707
00:30:06,354 --> 00:30:08,355
He's ambitious, a lot
younger than you, clearly,
708
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,840
but, for you?
709
00:30:09,891 --> 00:30:13,427
I-I've always
been someone's daughter,
710
00:30:13,511 --> 00:30:16,480
someone's wife,
someone's mom,
711
00:30:16,531 --> 00:30:18,348
someone's something.
712
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,134
And I like to
do this for myself.
713
00:30:20,218 --> 00:30:21,502
And what are you cooking?
714
00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:23,404
I'm cooking
hot and spicy green beans
715
00:30:23,488 --> 00:30:24,688
with sausage.
Great.
716
00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:26,523
What are you cooking?
717
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:28,842
I made chicken paprikash,
sauteed spaetzle.
718
00:30:28,927 --> 00:30:30,060
Brilliant.
719
00:30:30,111 --> 00:30:30,927
Done?
Yes.
720
00:30:30,979 --> 00:30:32,780
Thank you.
721
00:30:32,847 --> 00:30:34,865
All right.
722
00:30:34,932 --> 00:30:36,450
Green beans.Yes.
723
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:38,218
Hot and spicy green beanswith sausage.
724
00:30:39,671 --> 00:30:41,305
Ready.
Sir.
725
00:30:41,373 --> 00:30:43,824
Last time I had thispaprikash was in London.
726
00:30:43,892 --> 00:30:45,859
The most amazingHungarian restaurant there.
727
00:30:45,944 --> 00:30:47,144
It's got that warmth.
728
00:30:47,195 --> 00:30:48,562
It should deliver
that sort of richness,
729
00:30:48,646 --> 00:30:50,314
that blend of the heat.
730
00:30:50,381 --> 00:30:52,182
So this meat should
just fall off the bone
731
00:30:52,233 --> 00:30:53,534
without having topry it off.
732
00:30:58,073 --> 00:30:59,573
I don't know.
Maybe not in my restaurant.
733
00:31:01,076 --> 00:31:03,177
Okay.
734
00:31:10,869 --> 00:31:14,304
The secret of a good spaetzle
is that lightness.
735
00:31:19,610 --> 00:31:21,895
Perfect.
736
00:31:21,980 --> 00:31:24,448
The flavors,
there's some good spice.
737
00:31:24,516 --> 00:31:28,068
The sesame seeds I think had
a nice toothsomeness.
738
00:31:28,153 --> 00:31:29,570
What kind of mushrooms
are these?
739
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:32,489
Those are baby bellas.
740
00:31:38,530 --> 00:31:40,397
Rich.
741
00:31:43,134 --> 00:31:44,184
Mmm.
742
00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:45,753
Tastes nice.
743
00:31:45,837 --> 00:31:46,803
Beans are
slightly overcooked.
744
00:31:46,855 --> 00:31:48,655
Minced pork is tasty.
745
00:31:48,740 --> 00:31:50,724
Soy, ginger, garlic,sesame seeds--nice.
746
00:31:51,893 --> 00:31:53,293
But it's half a dish.
747
00:32:00,835 --> 00:32:06,323
Your biggest competitor
in this competition...
748
00:32:09,511 --> 00:32:11,462
Is yourself...
749
00:32:11,513 --> 00:32:14,098
For not letting go.
750
00:32:18,695 --> 00:32:20,345
(Narrator)
The first mother and son
to compete
751
00:32:20,397 --> 00:32:22,147
in MasterChef history
752
00:32:22,198 --> 00:32:24,450
are putting their food and
their relationship on the line.
753
00:32:24,501 --> 00:32:25,834
All right,
who's the better cook?
754
00:32:25,919 --> 00:32:27,903
I know I can cook better.
I am a better cook.
755
00:32:27,971 --> 00:32:29,655
(Narrator)
Now it's time to find out
756
00:32:29,722 --> 00:32:32,274
whether Denise's
spicy green bean dish
757
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:34,009
or Kyle's
chicken paprikash
758
00:32:34,077 --> 00:32:36,211
is good enough to
win an apron.
759
00:32:36,296 --> 00:32:37,546
Joe, yes or no?
760
00:32:37,614 --> 00:32:39,164
It's not a dish,
761
00:32:39,215 --> 00:32:40,382
and it doesn't really say
anything about her
762
00:32:40,450 --> 00:32:41,784
or the competition.
763
00:32:41,868 --> 00:32:42,885
And it's justcompletely irrelevant.
764
00:32:42,969 --> 00:32:46,305
The sausage is
delicious.
765
00:32:46,372 --> 00:32:48,591
I'm no.
You're no.
766
00:32:48,675 --> 00:32:50,059
Graham, yes or no?
767
00:32:50,126 --> 00:32:51,377
Just as a side dish
768
00:32:51,444 --> 00:32:52,878
versus everything
that we've seen
769
00:32:52,946 --> 00:32:54,063
and all the competition
that's here,
770
00:32:54,147 --> 00:32:56,231
I'm a no.
771
00:32:56,299 --> 00:32:59,151
And I'm saying...
772
00:32:59,202 --> 00:33:01,887
That is not MasterChef.
773
00:33:01,938 --> 00:33:02,888
Thank you.
774
00:33:02,939 --> 00:33:05,774
Thank you.
775
00:33:09,913 --> 00:33:11,430
All right, Joe.
776
00:33:11,497 --> 00:33:14,066
Yes or no, please.
777
00:33:14,117 --> 00:33:15,451
Call it
chicken cacciatore,
778
00:33:15,535 --> 00:33:17,636
call it paprikash,
whatever you wanna call it.
779
00:33:17,704 --> 00:33:21,373
I think it's kind of fatty,
lacking in acid
780
00:33:21,424 --> 00:33:24,209
and a little bitpedestrian.
781
00:33:24,260 --> 00:33:25,644
I-I-I say no.
782
00:33:25,695 --> 00:33:28,914
I completely disagree.
I think it's very rustic,
783
00:33:28,965 --> 00:33:31,367
and it has some soul behind it,
and it's yummy.
784
00:33:31,434 --> 00:33:33,519
So I'm gonna be a yes.
785
00:33:33,586 --> 00:33:36,388
For me,
that's a ballsy dish.
786
00:33:36,439 --> 00:33:37,756
Right.
To put forward.
787
00:33:37,824 --> 00:33:39,274
Mm-hmm.
Not just in MasterChef,
788
00:33:39,342 --> 00:33:41,644
but to compete
against your mother.
789
00:33:41,728 --> 00:33:43,646
Mm-hmm.
790
00:33:43,713 --> 00:33:45,731
For me...
791
00:33:45,782 --> 00:33:47,933
I wanna see more.
It's a yes.
792
00:33:47,984 --> 00:33:49,985
Congratulations.
Thank you.
793
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:52,121
If I was you,
I'd keep this rolled up,
794
00:33:52,205 --> 00:33:53,672
because I don't think
your mom's gonna be very happy.
795
00:33:53,740 --> 00:33:55,007
Thank you very much.
Well done.
796
00:33:55,058 --> 00:33:56,041
Thank you.
797
00:33:57,677 --> 00:34:00,863
[Cheers and applause]
798
00:34:00,947 --> 00:34:02,681
Hopefully, the next time
I see my mom
799
00:34:02,749 --> 00:34:04,917
is when they open
the doors at the finale.
800
00:34:04,968 --> 00:34:07,819
That's right,
put it on, yeah.
801
00:34:07,871 --> 00:34:10,689
[Cheers and applause]
802
00:34:10,740 --> 00:34:12,474
(Narrator)
Next through those doors,
803
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:14,059
a midwestern truck driver
804
00:34:14,127 --> 00:34:17,680
is about to go down
a very different road.
805
00:34:20,666 --> 00:34:22,351
[Rooster crowing]
806
00:34:22,435 --> 00:34:24,887
My name is Tony,
I'm a 51-year-old truck driver,
807
00:34:24,971 --> 00:34:27,406
and cooking is
an addiction for me.
808
00:34:27,457 --> 00:34:29,558
Oh, wow,
those are dry rubbed good.
809
00:34:29,642 --> 00:34:31,210
Around my town,
I'm pretty much known
810
00:34:31,277 --> 00:34:33,946
as the barbecue guy.
Oh, yeah, perfect.
811
00:34:34,014 --> 00:34:36,448
Being a chef has been
my dream for some time.
812
00:34:36,499 --> 00:34:39,118
I've always wanted to go
to a culinary arts program.
813
00:34:39,185 --> 00:34:41,303
But I've raised
a family all my life,
814
00:34:41,388 --> 00:34:44,122
I worked in the steel industry
for 20-something years.
815
00:34:44,174 --> 00:34:45,474
See you, guys.
[Cheers and applause]
816
00:34:45,558 --> 00:34:47,342
This is absolutely my time.
817
00:34:47,427 --> 00:34:49,812
It's taken quite a while,
but everything I've done
818
00:34:49,879 --> 00:34:51,513
throughout
the whole course of my life
819
00:34:51,598 --> 00:34:53,649
is leading up to
what's happening right now.
820
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,121
Hello, gentlemen.
How are you?
821
00:34:59,189 --> 00:35:01,006
How are you doing?
Wonderful, thank you.
822
00:35:01,074 --> 00:35:02,707
Good.
Your first name is?
823
00:35:02,759 --> 00:35:05,260
My first name is Tony.
Tony, good to see you, buddy.
824
00:35:05,328 --> 00:35:07,880
I see you're
working very methodically
825
00:35:07,947 --> 00:35:09,998
and not scrambling,not panicking.
826
00:35:10,083 --> 00:35:11,450
When I'm in
the kitchen is where
827
00:35:11,501 --> 00:35:13,335
I have
my most confidence,
828
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:16,221
and it actually
is one of the things
829
00:35:16,289 --> 00:35:17,473
that I enjoy the most.
830
00:35:17,557 --> 00:35:18,790
What are you
making for us today?
831
00:35:18,842 --> 00:35:20,692
I've gota pan-seared mahi mahi,
832
00:35:20,744 --> 00:35:23,996
over a bed of
paella-style rice,
833
00:35:24,047 --> 00:35:25,047
with a mango salsa.
Wow.
834
00:35:25,131 --> 00:35:26,498
Sounds intriguing.
835
00:35:26,549 --> 00:35:29,701
Gentlemen,
I present you my dish.
836
00:35:29,769 --> 00:35:31,720
Graham, off you go.
All right.
837
00:35:31,788 --> 00:35:34,540
So with mahi,there's always
838
00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:36,091
a chance to overcook it,you know.
839
00:35:36,159 --> 00:35:37,426
'Cause there'sjust not a lot of fat.
840
00:35:37,510 --> 00:35:38,610
Right.
You know, and so it
841
00:35:38,661 --> 00:35:40,929
should be...
Nice, have some slight little
842
00:35:41,014 --> 00:35:42,181
opaqueness
going through it.
843
00:35:42,232 --> 00:35:44,216
So let's kinda go
right here.
844
00:35:48,238 --> 00:35:50,305
That looks...
845
00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:51,457
Pretty perfect.
846
00:35:51,524 --> 00:35:52,775
Good job.
Thank you.
847
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:56,895
You know,
I think you could've gone
848
00:35:56,946 --> 00:35:59,431
a little more lime
and a little bit of salt.
849
00:35:59,482 --> 00:36:01,700
I think that really
would've brought it out.
850
00:36:01,751 --> 00:36:04,253
Thank you very much.
Thanks, Tony.
851
00:36:04,337 --> 00:36:05,637
How you doing, Tony?
852
00:36:05,705 --> 00:36:07,389
I'm doing wonderful,
thanks for asking.
853
00:36:16,816 --> 00:36:19,234
Where do you go with this?
Where does this take you?
854
00:36:19,319 --> 00:36:21,570
My vision is
to own my own restaurant.
855
00:36:21,654 --> 00:36:24,173
I wanna bring some
culture food to my small town.
856
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:25,941
It's a meat and potatoescommunity.
857
00:36:26,025 --> 00:36:28,760
The only fish that
they experience in our town
858
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:30,963
is the fried fish at
the legion on Saturday night.
859
00:36:39,305 --> 00:36:41,990
Mmm.
860
00:36:42,058 --> 00:36:44,843
That fish
is cooked perfectly.
861
00:36:44,894 --> 00:36:47,362
Unfortunately, the rice
862
00:36:47,447 --> 00:36:49,231
should be 100 miles away
from that fish.
863
00:36:49,299 --> 00:36:51,633
Damn!
864
00:36:54,621 --> 00:36:56,922
Joe, yes or no?
865
00:36:56,990 --> 00:36:59,308
I'm 100% yes.
Mm-hmm.
866
00:36:59,375 --> 00:37:00,993
Good dish, congratulations.
Thank you.
867
00:37:01,044 --> 00:37:02,127
Graham, yes or no?
868
00:37:02,195 --> 00:37:03,762
I second that notion, yes.
869
00:37:03,813 --> 00:37:05,130
Thank you.
And for me,
870
00:37:05,181 --> 00:37:07,399
it's three big yeses.
Congratulations, well done.
871
00:37:07,450 --> 00:37:08,567
Both: Good job.
Thank you.
872
00:37:08,634 --> 00:37:10,419
Put this on.
Looking forward to see
873
00:37:10,486 --> 00:37:11,854
what else you
got to bring us, bro.
874
00:37:11,921 --> 00:37:13,238
That was good.
Thank you.
875
00:37:13,289 --> 00:37:15,157
Well done.
Thank you so much.
876
00:37:15,225 --> 00:37:16,641
Well done, congratulations.
Thank you.
877
00:37:16,693 --> 00:37:18,260
Thank you very much.
878
00:37:18,344 --> 00:37:21,079
[Cheers and applause]
879
00:37:23,416 --> 00:37:25,284
Would've said yes
on the fish alone.
880
00:37:25,351 --> 00:37:26,385
Look at that.
881
00:37:26,436 --> 00:37:28,187
Delicious.
Yep.
882
00:37:28,238 --> 00:37:29,788
My destiny
is coming to fruition.
883
00:37:29,839 --> 00:37:32,524
It's happening.
I made it.
884
00:37:32,575 --> 00:37:34,276
[Cheers and applause]
885
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,560
(Narrator)
Up next,
886
00:37:35,612 --> 00:37:37,663
is the final
home cook of the day...
887
00:37:37,730 --> 00:37:40,065
I purposely added
that much spices.
888
00:37:40,116 --> 00:37:42,401
(Narrator)
Just too hot to handle?
889
00:37:42,452 --> 00:37:43,835
Breathe.
890
00:37:50,299 --> 00:37:51,366
Congratulations.
891
00:37:51,367 --> 00:37:53,685
(Narrator)
As the sun sets on day two...
892
00:37:54,366 --> 00:37:56,450
A flurry of home cooks
bag aprons.
893
00:37:56,535 --> 00:37:59,603
[Cheers and applause]
894
00:37:59,655 --> 00:38:00,922
Almost done.
895
00:38:01,006 --> 00:38:02,306
(Narrator)
But can the last contender
896
00:38:02,357 --> 00:38:03,574
finish the day on a high
897
00:38:05,060 --> 00:38:06,410
with a Dash...
Whoo!
898
00:38:06,478 --> 00:38:08,379
(Narrator)
Of Latin flare?
So hot.
899
00:38:08,447 --> 00:38:11,015
I'm Alejandra, I live
in Playa del Rey, California,
900
00:38:11,066 --> 00:38:12,783
and I'm an architect
and an urban planner.
901
00:38:12,835 --> 00:38:14,302
Still have a minute.
902
00:38:14,369 --> 00:38:16,771
Growing up in Venezuela,
I was in the kitchen with my mom
903
00:38:16,855 --> 00:38:18,256
since I was
a very young girl.
904
00:38:18,323 --> 00:38:19,607
Very excited.
905
00:38:19,691 --> 00:38:22,276
It's been a big part
of my life.
906
00:38:22,361 --> 00:38:24,195
All right.
907
00:38:24,262 --> 00:38:26,464
I definitely have what it takes.
To be the next Master Chef.
908
00:38:29,484 --> 00:38:30,751
Hello.
Hi.
909
00:38:30,836 --> 00:38:32,737
How are you?
I'm doing great, thank you.
910
00:38:32,804 --> 00:38:34,055
Good, and
what are you cooking?
911
00:38:34,139 --> 00:38:36,373
I'm making up--
well, my interpretation
912
00:38:36,425 --> 00:38:39,377
of a Peruvian dish called
camarones salteados
913
00:38:39,444 --> 00:38:41,095
which is a shrimp sauteed.
914
00:38:41,180 --> 00:38:42,847
What's
your full-time job?
915
00:38:42,914 --> 00:38:45,399
I'm an architect,
so I'm college educated.
916
00:38:45,484 --> 00:38:47,318
I have a masters
in urban planning.
917
00:38:47,369 --> 00:38:50,037
I actually lost my job
at the beginning of 2009.
918
00:38:50,122 --> 00:38:52,473
20 seconds left.
Okay.
919
00:38:52,558 --> 00:38:53,708
Okay.
Done.
920
00:38:53,775 --> 00:38:56,677
That's it?You're happy with that?
921
00:38:56,762 --> 00:38:59,413
Hopefully the flavorwill show you my skill.
922
00:39:02,467 --> 00:39:04,302
Okay...
923
00:39:04,369 --> 00:39:08,022
Right.
You work in architecture.
924
00:39:08,106 --> 00:39:09,473
Well, not anymore.
925
00:39:09,524 --> 00:39:11,325
It's been two years of
a lot of financial struggle.
926
00:39:11,410 --> 00:39:15,696
But I have $150,000worth of student loans.
927
00:39:15,764 --> 00:39:19,000
But I didn't know the marketwould crash the way it did
928
00:39:19,084 --> 00:39:20,635
and that
I would lose my job
929
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,037
and not be able to produceand provide for myself.
930
00:39:23,121 --> 00:39:26,157
So being here means
a lot to me.
931
00:39:26,208 --> 00:39:28,209
Breathe.
932
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,731
Okay.
933
00:39:33,782 --> 00:39:35,249
Sorry, I'll stop.
934
00:39:35,334 --> 00:39:37,735
[Sighs]
935
00:39:37,786 --> 00:39:39,437
How'd you cook the shrimp?
936
00:39:39,504 --> 00:39:41,872
I brined it,
I marinated it quickly.
937
00:39:44,459 --> 00:39:46,827
Visually, the shrimps
looked overcooked,
938
00:39:46,895 --> 00:39:50,097
but you've--you were
very smart by brining them.
939
00:39:50,182 --> 00:39:51,616
And they actually
taste delicious.
940
00:39:51,683 --> 00:39:53,834
Thank you.
Mm.
941
00:40:03,478 --> 00:40:04,962
To me, what really
sets everything off
942
00:40:05,030 --> 00:40:06,647
is the onion.
It really works with
943
00:40:06,732 --> 00:40:07,848
the sweetness of the shrimp
944
00:40:07,916 --> 00:40:09,583
and, you know,
the acidity of the tomato.
945
00:40:09,668 --> 00:40:12,386
It's
a really balanced dish.
946
00:40:20,295 --> 00:40:21,862
What do you think about
947
00:40:21,930 --> 00:40:24,515
the spice level
on a dish like this?
948
00:40:24,582 --> 00:40:27,118
It's a bold dish,
but I like bold flavors.
949
00:40:27,185 --> 00:40:29,153
I purposely
added that much spices
950
00:40:29,204 --> 00:40:31,188
to bring
that combination out.
951
00:40:37,929 --> 00:40:40,431
What's fascinating...
952
00:40:40,498 --> 00:40:41,882
Is how good you are.
953
00:40:41,950 --> 00:40:45,169
Yet you're
not even trained.
954
00:40:45,237 --> 00:40:47,555
It's likea missed opportunity.
955
00:40:47,622 --> 00:40:49,857
It kind of like tells
your story on the plate.
956
00:40:49,925 --> 00:40:51,225
I think it's really
one of the best things
957
00:40:51,293 --> 00:40:52,793
we've eaten so far.
958
00:40:52,861 --> 00:40:54,411
I think that
the judiciousness of spicing
959
00:40:54,463 --> 00:40:56,564
is really spot-on.
960
00:40:56,648 --> 00:40:58,416
One yes.
Graham, yes or no?
961
00:40:58,467 --> 00:41:00,401
Two yeses.
That's all it takes.
962
00:41:00,485 --> 00:41:03,270
It's never too late.
It's a definite.
963
00:41:03,355 --> 00:41:05,172
Three out of three,well done.
964
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:07,575
Congratulations,
you deserve it.
965
00:41:07,659 --> 00:41:10,444
And more importantly,
it didn't cost 150 grand.
966
00:41:10,512 --> 00:41:11,412
Well done.
Thank you.
967
00:41:11,496 --> 00:41:14,332
[Cheers and applause]
968
00:41:18,620 --> 00:41:19,920
I'm living the dream,
right this moment.
969
00:41:20,005 --> 00:41:23,474
I left home to come here
to do big things,
970
00:41:23,541 --> 00:41:25,493
and I'm now ready for
the next step.
971
00:41:27,662 --> 00:41:30,181
She nailed it.
Yeah, she did nail it.
972
00:41:30,248 --> 00:41:32,016
(Narrator)
Next time on MasterChef...
973
00:41:32,084 --> 00:41:33,451
Just put your [bleep]
on the line.
974
00:41:33,518 --> 00:41:34,985
(Narrator)
The audition come to a close
975
00:41:35,053 --> 00:41:38,239
as America's best home cooks
fight for the final aprons.
976
00:41:38,306 --> 00:41:39,573
The pressure's on.
977
00:41:39,641 --> 00:41:40,941
(Narrator)
Some hopes are dashed.
978
00:41:41,009 --> 00:41:42,610
You're lucky you haven't
[bleep] killed somebody.
979
00:41:42,677 --> 00:41:43,627
(Narrator)
For others...
980
00:41:43,695 --> 00:41:45,046
Give that to your dad.
981
00:41:45,113 --> 00:41:46,296
(Narrator)
Dreams become reality.
982
00:41:46,348 --> 00:41:47,848
That's why they came
to this country
983
00:41:47,916 --> 00:41:49,650
was for us
to pursue our dream.
984
00:41:49,718 --> 00:41:51,052
(Narrator)
And a star is born.
985
00:41:51,136 --> 00:41:52,853
[Imitating Julia child]
When you take the beautiful fish
986
00:41:52,921 --> 00:41:54,388
and you just sort of
dip it in the egg...
987
00:41:54,473 --> 00:41:55,723
(Narrator)
As the search
988
00:41:55,791 --> 00:41:57,858
for America's
next Master Chef--
989
00:41:57,926 --> 00:41:59,210
oh, you know what?
[Exhales]
990
00:41:59,277 --> 00:42:01,095
That's fine.
Continues.
