00:00:02,770 --> 00:00:02,910
Woo!

3
00:00:03,770 --> 00:00:07,050
Today is the eight social media stars.

4
00:00:08,570 --> 00:00:09,890
This is just crazy.

5
00:00:10,110 --> 00:00:10,770
Jim, what are we doing?

6
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:13,790
You are embarrassing yourself on national television.

7
00:00:13,950 --> 00:00:14,850
All of you, congratulations.

8
00:00:15,170 --> 00:00:17,910
We have the five most talented social media chefs

9
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:19,270
anywhere in America.

10
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:20,730
Ha ha ha ha!

11
00:00:21,090 --> 00:00:22,190
And tonight...

12
00:00:22,190 --> 00:00:22,710
Let's go!

13
00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:23,810
Go home, chefs.

14
00:00:24,030 --> 00:00:27,130
This is like a crazy pack of animals going after food.

15
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:29,130
My heart is beating out of my chest.

16
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:30,530
Cooking is like a dance.

17
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:31,409
Musica.

18
00:00:31,670 --> 00:00:32,130
Pop, pop.

19
00:00:34,390 --> 00:00:35,550
Talk about a dremel.

20
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:38,250
So much spice, my head's gonna turn pink any second now.

21
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:39,550
Time check.

22
00:00:39,630 --> 00:00:40,510
He's not gonna make it.

23
00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:42,830
Last chance to impress.

24
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:44,310
I wanna make it to the draft.

25
00:00:44,530 --> 00:00:45,930
I wanna be on one of those mentors' teams.

26
00:01:02,530 --> 00:01:03,890
It's about to get real.

27
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:05,390
Woo!

28
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:09,790
The elevator doors open, and I'm like,

29
00:01:09,790 --> 00:01:11,030
it can't be that bad.

30
00:01:12,990 --> 00:01:13,950
It's that bad.

31
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:15,750
It's like my first apartment.

32
00:01:16,030 --> 00:01:16,910
Holy moly.

33
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:17,890
Is there a grater here?

34
00:01:18,190 --> 00:01:19,530
Yeah, it's somewhere down there.

35
00:01:19,630 --> 00:01:21,530
I mean, probably got some fingernails in it.

36
00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:24,630
Let's go!

37
00:01:27,310 --> 00:01:28,570
What's up, home chefs?

38
00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:30,270
How you feeling?

39
00:01:30,810 --> 00:01:31,930
How did I get here?

40
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:33,910
Like, me?

41
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:36,490
I'm just like a little home chef.

42
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:40,250
I took my dad to Gordon Ramsay's restaurant for Father's Day.

43
00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:41,250
There's eight of you.

44
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:44,070
Only seven of you are gonna make it up to the next level,

45
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:45,770
which means one of you,

46
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:48,130
your audition's gonna start and end in this kitchen.

47
00:01:48,410 --> 00:01:49,230
Don't let it be you.

48
00:01:49,450 --> 00:01:49,650
Yeah.

49
00:01:49,810 --> 00:01:50,590
Yes, chef.

50
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:52,110
You guys ready for the first challenge?

51
00:01:52,210 --> 00:01:52,610
Yes, ma'am.

52
00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:54,430
We've all been there.

53
00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:57,070
It's dinner time, and all you have is leftovers.

54
00:01:57,230 --> 00:01:58,170
You gotta repurpose it.

55
00:01:58,270 --> 00:01:58,670
All right.

56
00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:02,290
You're gonna have 20 minutes to make a delicious dish

57
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:04,070
using leftover ingredients

58
00:02:04,070 --> 00:02:06,030
that are gonna come down from that platform.

59
00:02:06,570 --> 00:02:07,949
Okay, guys, hands on the rail, please.

60
00:02:08,090 --> 00:02:08,850
Oh, my goodness.

61
00:02:09,090 --> 00:02:09,530
Let's go!

62
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:12,710
Platform is on the move.

63
00:02:12,990 --> 00:02:13,950
Grab a protein.

64
00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:15,630
They're all in the top tier.

65
00:02:15,810 --> 00:02:16,250
Here we go.

66
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:17,490
Our leftovers challenge.

67
00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:18,510
It's gonna be exciting, this one.

68
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:19,430
I'm super excited.

69
00:02:19,630 --> 00:02:21,150
I think you fail this challenge

70
00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:22,750
if you just reheat the leftovers.

71
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:23,250
Yeah.

72
00:02:24,470 --> 00:02:25,510
You got this.

73
00:02:26,430 --> 00:02:27,710
Go, go, go, go, go, go!

74
00:02:27,930 --> 00:02:28,970
Let's go!

75
00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:30,550
We have chicken.

76
00:02:30,970 --> 00:02:31,750
Rotisserie chicken.

77
00:02:31,870 --> 00:02:32,530
I want that.

78
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:33,730
And as I go to grab,

79
00:02:35,010 --> 00:02:36,530
Michael snatches it away from me.

80
00:02:36,570 --> 00:02:37,270
Pork ribs.

81
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:38,390
No time to think.

82
00:02:38,390 --> 00:02:39,590
Grab the pork ribs.

83
00:02:39,950 --> 00:02:40,370
Oh, crap.

84
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:41,490
What do I do with pork ribs?

85
00:02:41,690 --> 00:02:42,150
Lasagna.

86
00:02:42,730 --> 00:02:43,370
Canned ham.

87
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:45,950
Canned ham, instant flavor, instant texture.

88
00:02:46,130 --> 00:02:46,610
This is mine.

89
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:47,490
Pork ribs.

90
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:49,550
This is like a crazy pack of animals

91
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:50,590
going after food.

92
00:02:51,930 --> 00:02:53,990
These are not the most beautiful ingredients, guys.

93
00:02:54,110 --> 00:02:55,170
Oh, I gotta get...

94
00:02:55,170 --> 00:02:55,270
Oh.

95
00:02:55,550 --> 00:02:57,090
I'm grabbing canned salmon.

96
00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:59,950
Any little inkling of hope I had

97
00:02:59,950 --> 00:03:00,770
was like, bye.

98
00:03:01,290 --> 00:03:03,070
This is the worst possible grab

99
00:03:03,070 --> 00:03:04,050
I think I could have gotten.

100
00:03:04,290 --> 00:03:05,110
Is that a rib?

101
00:03:05,630 --> 00:03:07,890
Three, two, one.

102
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:08,210
Oh, my goodness.

103
00:03:08,330 --> 00:03:09,690
Grab ingredients, grab ingredients.

104
00:03:09,950 --> 00:03:10,710
Don't let it go away.

105
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:11,730
You got it.

106
00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:12,930
Canned salmon wouldn't have been

107
00:03:12,930 --> 00:03:14,330
my favorite choice either here.

108
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:15,890
Your time starts right now.

109
00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:19,390
Oh, this stove doesn't work.

110
00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:20,010
Here we go.

111
00:03:20,610 --> 00:03:20,950
Whoo!

112
00:03:21,450 --> 00:03:21,810
Danielle.

113
00:03:22,030 --> 00:03:22,570
Oh, baby.

114
00:03:23,110 --> 00:03:23,890
This is wild.

115
00:03:24,070 --> 00:03:24,870
This is wild.

116
00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:25,530
What do you have?

117
00:03:25,690 --> 00:03:26,690
Okay, I've got canned salmon.

118
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:27,330
We have pineapple.

119
00:03:27,510 --> 00:03:28,630
We've got the long grain rice.

120
00:03:28,770 --> 00:03:30,550
We're gonna try a sauce with the worcestershire,

121
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:31,910
so it's gonna be a salmon and chard

122
00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:32,690
pineapple fried rice.

123
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:33,110
We love it.

124
00:03:33,130 --> 00:03:33,250
Yeah.

125
00:03:33,690 --> 00:03:34,790
Okay, I like this.

126
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:35,510
I like Danielle.

127
00:03:35,510 --> 00:03:35,750
Yeah.

128
00:03:36,070 --> 00:03:36,810
She's in the zone.

129
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:39,010
I'm pretty pumped,

130
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:41,110
but I know I can put that flavor palette together

131
00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:42,930
and show all of the home chefs in America,

132
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:44,130
look what you can do.

133
00:03:44,310 --> 00:03:45,870
You want to make it onto one of our teams.

134
00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:47,390
I want one of you to want me.

135
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:50,130
How you doing, Elise?

136
00:03:50,890 --> 00:03:54,010
I grabbed meatloaf and some old mashed potatoes.

137
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:54,330
Yep.

138
00:03:54,370 --> 00:03:55,470
What are you going to make?

139
00:03:55,810 --> 00:03:56,170
Meatloaf?

140
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:57,050
Meatballs.

141
00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:57,550
Smart.

142
00:03:58,170 --> 00:03:59,150
And you tasted the meatloaf?

143
00:03:59,670 --> 00:04:00,050
So you can...

144
00:04:00,050 --> 00:04:01,130
I was afraid to taste it.

145
00:04:01,630 --> 00:04:02,430
Yeah, just so you know

146
00:04:02,430 --> 00:04:03,390
where you're going with the seasoning.

147
00:04:03,770 --> 00:04:04,210
Yes, chef.

148
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:04,670
I hear you.

149
00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:10,260
Come on, Spam.

150
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,240
Boom.

151
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,280
This is some slimy stuff.

152
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,040
Never cooked with canned ham before.

153
00:04:16,260 --> 00:04:18,279
It smells like you can definitely put this

154
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,320
in your bunker for the apocalypse.

155
00:04:19,620 --> 00:04:20,300
How we feeling, Jared?

156
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:21,600
Oh, we're feeling good right now, chef.

157
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,500
I plan on making canned ham mac and cheese,

158
00:04:23,620 --> 00:04:25,000
a little panko crunch on the top,

159
00:04:25,620 --> 00:04:27,680
keeping it classic with a little ranch powder.

160
00:04:27,980 --> 00:04:28,880
Classic. Classic.

161
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,720
This guy is absolutely ripped.

162
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:32,280
It's like looking at Clark Kent

163
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:33,320
when I talk to you, honestly.

164
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,760
Jared Veldheer, Hillsdale College, home chef.

165
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,100
For my career, I was a professional fat guy.

166
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,660
I was an offensive lineman in the NFL.

167
00:04:44,340 --> 00:04:45,800
I played 12 years of professional football.

168
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:46,880
I played for five teams.

169
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,500
It was an amazing chapter of my life.

170
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,380
I started cooking in college

171
00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:53,960
when I didn't want to eat, like,

172
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,140
the nasty cafeteria food.

173
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:56,780
After my football career,

174
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,000
I was looking for the next chapter,

175
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,020
and I became the lunch lady at my kid's school.

176
00:05:01,220 --> 00:05:03,380
I had never been in a professional kitchen before.

177
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,040
I had no catering experience.

178
00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:07,220
But I wanted to teach some kids

179
00:05:07,220 --> 00:05:08,800
that stuff that's good for you

180
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,900
can be amazingly delicious.

181
00:05:10,580 --> 00:05:11,780
The 6-8 1⁄2 lunch lady

182
00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:12,960
is about as common as Bigfoot.

183
00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:14,300
You're not gonna see it,

184
00:05:14,380 --> 00:05:16,280
so just the pure novelty of it

185
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:18,620
was, like, something that was kind of fun the entire time.

186
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,040
The critiques I'd get from a 4-year-old

187
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,320
all the way up to a 13-year-old

188
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,420
definitely has me prepared for any critiques

189
00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:26,080
that Chef Ramsay's gonna throw out.

190
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:28,380
Kids watching at home,

191
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:29,240
this is not how you open a can?

192
00:05:29,380 --> 00:05:30,000
Definitely not.

193
00:05:30,460 --> 00:05:31,800
I would suggest, Jared,

194
00:05:31,820 --> 00:05:33,540
just put it in your bicep and just, like...

195
00:05:33,540 --> 00:05:34,040
Yeah, crush it.

196
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Just crush it.

197
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:35,700
Michael.

198
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,260
Hi.

199
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:36,980
Hi.

200
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:37,740
How are you?

201
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:38,540
What did you grab? Wonderful.

202
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Grabbed the rotisserie chicken.

203
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:40,860
Awesome.

204
00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:43,640
So I'm gonna do a little chicken-inspired moussaka.

205
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:44,380
Moussaka.

206
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:45,260
Okay.

207
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,220
In 20 minutes.

208
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,600
How we feeling?

209
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:51,800
Dancing?

210
00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:53,900
Putting the good vibes in?

211
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,040
I recognize him.

212
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:56,700
He's a dancer.

213
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,480
That's the guy from the viral football video.

214
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,200
So there's a viral video

215
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,560
that went around a couple years ago

216
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,100
of the dancing blue-shirt guy,

217
00:06:05,260 --> 00:06:08,020
where I was disguised as a security guard

218
00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:09,200
at the University of Tennessee.

219
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:16,550
At the time, I thought nobody would see it.

220
00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:18,450
Holy moly, it went viral.

221
00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:19,810
It's global,

222
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:23,090
and it was an absolute life-changing moment.

223
00:06:25,010 --> 00:06:27,190
So day by day, I'm a choreographer

224
00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:29,650
for local high school musical theater departments,

225
00:06:29,990 --> 00:06:32,230
and on the side of that, I'm just a home cook.

226
00:06:32,730 --> 00:06:35,390
Cooking has been, for, like, the past 20 years,

227
00:06:35,390 --> 00:06:36,770
a good stress relief.

228
00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:38,530
It's just like a routine.

229
00:06:38,790 --> 00:06:39,650
You need some jazz.

230
00:06:39,890 --> 00:06:40,610
You need some tap.

231
00:06:40,850 --> 00:06:41,590
You need some ballet.

232
00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:44,450
You can't just have step touch for the rest of your life.

233
00:06:45,030 --> 00:06:45,650
Ha-ha-ha.

234
00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:48,430
Let's get twerking on that.

235
00:06:48,750 --> 00:06:49,850
Ten minutes left, guys.

236
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:50,670
Oh, my gosh.

237
00:06:51,670 --> 00:06:52,750
Check out this pan.

238
00:06:52,910 --> 00:06:54,450
That thing is all wobbly and stuff.

239
00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:55,830
It's not easy for a home chef.

240
00:06:55,890 --> 00:06:57,130
Oh, my Lord, that is brutal.

241
00:06:57,450 --> 00:06:58,330
They're not professionals.

242
00:06:58,630 --> 00:06:59,470
They're just making dinner,

243
00:06:59,690 --> 00:07:02,550
but it's all about intuitive cooking,

244
00:07:02,750 --> 00:07:04,370
and I think that's what these home chefs bring.

245
00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:06,430
I have one question for you all.

246
00:07:06,650 --> 00:07:07,150
Yes, chef.

247
00:07:07,230 --> 00:07:08,550
Who wants to make it to the middle level?

248
00:07:08,590 --> 00:07:08,850
Got it.

249
00:07:09,110 --> 00:07:09,750
Right here.

250
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:10,630
I said it first.

251
00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:11,790
Right here.

252
00:07:15,470 --> 00:07:17,090
Diana, canned beef.

253
00:07:17,330 --> 00:07:20,510
I'm doing a stir-fry with some veggies that I've got here.

254
00:07:20,770 --> 00:07:21,030
Awesome.

255
00:07:21,170 --> 00:07:23,810
And I'm also going to spice it up all over the place.

256
00:07:23,910 --> 00:07:24,550
All over the place?

257
00:07:24,590 --> 00:07:25,170
All over the place.

258
00:07:25,390 --> 00:07:26,510
I am a spice queen.

259
00:07:26,730 --> 00:07:29,610
When I'm cooking at home, I'm, like, all about the spice.

260
00:07:30,210 --> 00:07:30,730
I think it's okay.

261
00:07:30,850 --> 00:07:32,430
I wish I had other ingredients to put in it.

262
00:07:32,430 --> 00:07:35,170
This is your shot to make it onto one of our teams.

263
00:07:35,350 --> 00:07:35,530
Yeah.

264
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:36,370
So make it great.

265
00:07:36,910 --> 00:07:37,490
Red peppers.

266
00:07:39,330 --> 00:07:41,250
Earl, what are you going to make?

267
00:07:41,410 --> 00:07:43,450
So I think I might make kind of a spring roll.

268
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:44,650
A spring roll?

269
00:07:44,890 --> 00:07:46,910
I'm going to make a lasagna spring roll,

270
00:07:47,390 --> 00:07:51,850
which has never been said by any human being ever on the planet.

271
00:07:52,530 --> 00:07:53,990
But I'm going with it.

272
00:07:54,590 --> 00:07:57,850
I know you're all about cooking for the kids, right?

273
00:07:57,950 --> 00:07:58,850
Yeah, absolutely.

274
00:08:00,110 --> 00:08:03,630
I'm a police officer, and I work security in the school system.

275
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:06,010
I have a saying that I say all the time.

276
00:08:06,150 --> 00:08:10,070
I'm a father of one, and I'm a stepfather to about 1,400 kids.

277
00:08:11,430 --> 00:08:14,670
I went through a divorce, and when I had my son,

278
00:08:14,950 --> 00:08:16,370
I thought, what am I going to feed him?

279
00:08:16,490 --> 00:08:18,770
Because my ex-wife did all the cooking.

280
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:22,750
So when I learned to cook, it came out a true necessity.

281
00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:25,550
Now, my best conversations with my son

282
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:28,970
have been over a meal that we have cooked,

283
00:08:29,250 --> 00:08:31,730
and now we're enjoying together as a father and son.

284
00:08:32,130 --> 00:08:33,190
It's just magic.

285
00:08:33,809 --> 00:08:34,370
I love it.

286
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:35,490
You can't beat that.

287
00:08:36,710 --> 00:08:38,210
And get those rice sheets in.

288
00:08:38,309 --> 00:08:39,049
They need to rehydrate.

289
00:08:39,190 --> 00:08:39,390
OK.

290
00:08:41,169 --> 00:08:43,210
All right, Amber, what did you grab, chef?

291
00:08:43,470 --> 00:08:44,370
So I got some pork ribs.

292
00:08:44,450 --> 00:08:46,430
I'm going to go ahead and go with a curry and make a flatbread.

293
00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:48,390
Wow, that's an automatic flex.

294
00:08:48,590 --> 00:08:48,930
Amazing.

295
00:08:49,110 --> 00:08:49,630
Sounds delicious.

296
00:08:49,930 --> 00:08:50,290
Thank you.

297
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:52,090
I didn't grab a starch on there,

298
00:08:52,090 --> 00:08:54,310
but I had my break-in-case-of-emergency

299
00:08:54,310 --> 00:08:55,510
flatbread recipe.

300
00:08:55,990 --> 00:08:57,910
Breaking that glass on my first cook.

301
00:08:58,190 --> 00:08:59,490
If you can just open up the fridge,

302
00:08:59,590 --> 00:09:01,350
grab some flour, eggs, some water,

303
00:09:01,430 --> 00:09:03,170
whatever it is, and make some dough or pasta,

304
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:05,110
that's a big asset to a team.

305
00:09:07,450 --> 00:09:08,490
A little more heat.

306
00:09:08,830 --> 00:09:09,490
Let's go.

307
00:09:10,210 --> 00:09:10,570
Emerson.

308
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:13,970
I am making a pork fried rice.

309
00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:15,030
Pork fried rice, smart.

310
00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:15,550
Pork fried rice.

311
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:16,610
Got the leftover pork.

312
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:16,950
Awesome.

313
00:09:17,050 --> 00:09:18,590
Some ginger for that Asian flair.

314
00:09:18,770 --> 00:09:19,610
I tasted it.

315
00:09:19,830 --> 00:09:20,950
It is perfect, chef.

316
00:09:20,950 --> 00:09:21,630
Really delicious.

317
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:23,290
Adding the fresh herbs at the end, right?

318
00:09:23,450 --> 00:09:23,770
Will do.

319
00:09:23,890 --> 00:09:24,370
Will do, chef.

320
00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:24,730
Thank you.

321
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:26,030
Oh, what's our time?

322
00:09:26,370 --> 00:09:27,590
Five minutes left, guys.

323
00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:28,550
Five minutes left.

324
00:09:29,770 --> 00:09:32,090
So I'm super satisfied with my flavors.

325
00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:35,890
There's something kind of stewy and warm with the moussaka.

326
00:09:36,510 --> 00:09:37,730
Let's get her out of there.

327
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:39,490
Thank you for coming to my party.

328
00:09:39,950 --> 00:09:41,210
Cooking is like a dance.

329
00:09:41,490 --> 00:09:43,030
This one felt like moussaka.

330
00:09:43,310 --> 00:09:43,730
Pa-pa.

331
00:09:44,570 --> 00:09:45,050
Moussaka.

332
00:09:45,370 --> 00:09:45,850
Wa-wa.

333
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:46,430
Ay.

334
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:47,150
Moussaka.

335
00:09:47,450 --> 00:09:47,890
Na-na-na.

336
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:49,730
Razzle-dazzle them.

337
00:09:51,650 --> 00:09:52,590
Michael, how you feeling?

338
00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:55,150
Like, I feel satisfied and ready.

339
00:09:55,530 --> 00:09:56,830
I'm worried because I'm not worried.

340
00:09:57,810 --> 00:09:59,030
You should be worried, bro.

341
00:09:59,270 --> 00:10:01,650
So this is about the time where you're supposed to start

342
00:10:01,650 --> 00:10:03,110
cracking open a wine bottle.

343
00:10:03,690 --> 00:10:05,270
Wow, he's a little bit too cool for school, this one.

344
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:06,510
Let's go, Earl.

345
00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:07,550
Yes, I'm going.

346
00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:10,370
I don't like the way that came out.

347
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:11,330
It's splitting.

348
00:10:12,810 --> 00:10:13,910
They're not soaked long enough.

349
00:10:14,110 --> 00:10:14,550
How are we feeling?

350
00:10:14,590 --> 00:10:16,050
Yeah, I'm trying to hydrate this one.

351
00:10:16,150 --> 00:10:16,950
It's become a mess.

352
00:10:17,050 --> 00:10:17,990
Do you have another one working?

353
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:19,330
Three minutes left, guys.

354
00:10:19,330 --> 00:10:20,110
Three minutes.

355
00:10:20,470 --> 00:10:21,250
You got to do it, bud.

356
00:10:21,550 --> 00:10:22,470
You got to do it.

357
00:10:22,570 --> 00:10:25,290
The rice paper sheets, I don't like you anymore.

358
00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:27,050
I mean, he's not going to make it, Gordon.

359
00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:29,310
I'm running out of time.

360
00:10:29,650 --> 00:10:30,950
It's going to be a bloody mess.

361
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:37,660
Guys, two minutes.

362
00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:38,440
Start plating.

363
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:41,220
Let's go, Earl.

364
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,240
Yes, I'm going.

365
00:10:42,540 --> 00:10:43,780
I'm not feeling great right now.

366
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,900
I like my plates to look pretty.

367
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,720
What the hell is this mess?

368
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,080
Come on, Earl.

369
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,260
20 seconds.

370
00:10:50,260 --> 00:10:51,720
Guys, push to the end.

371
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:53,980
Spice it up.

372
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,440
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

373
00:10:59,040 --> 00:10:59,680
Hands up.

374
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Hands up.

375
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:00,560
Woo!

376
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:02,460
Good job.

377
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,120
Richard, Gordon.

378
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,620
Well done.

379
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Love the energy, by the way.

380
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,000
We were studying everything you were doing

381
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,220
and watching the way that you were

382
00:11:13,220 --> 00:11:14,220
manipulating those ingredients.

383
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:14,640
Yeah.

384
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,080
I mean, listen, we've all had to open the fridge

385
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,380
and make something out of nothing.

386
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,920
And very, very impressive.

387
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,040
But most importantly, very creative.

388
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:21,600
Well done.

389
00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:22,200
Absolutely.

390
00:11:22,620 --> 00:11:23,820
Shall we taste?

391
00:11:24,380 --> 00:11:28,300
I'm going to start with Amber's pork rib curry.

392
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,420
Amber made her own flatbread.

393
00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:31,560
Delicious.

394
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:33,060
I mean, in 20 minutes, incredible.

395
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:34,180
The fact that you're making bread as well.

396
00:11:34,300 --> 00:11:35,300
It's a really good dish.

397
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,200
This is definitely repurposed and feels

398
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,500
like it came from home.

399
00:11:38,660 --> 00:11:39,040
Thank you.

400
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,780
Next up, Diana.

401
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,220
We have canned beef stir fry finished

402
00:11:43,220 --> 00:11:44,540
with a potato chip crumble.

403
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:49,300
It tastes like an authentic stir fry.

404
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:52,440
But like, there's so much chili on top of this dish.

405
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,240
So much spice.

406
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,100
My head's going to turn pink any second now.

407
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,620
I think Chef Ramsay would look amazing

408
00:11:59,620 --> 00:12:00,600
with a streak of pink.

409
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:01,540
We could be twinsies.

410
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:06,420
Next up, Danielle's canned salmon fried rice.

411
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,220
Maybe a little bit more soy and ginger and garlic.

412
00:12:10,420 --> 00:12:10,780
Oh, yeah.

413
00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:11,880
That would've been great.

414
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,540
That's true, right?

415
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:14,640
But I love the concept.

416
00:12:14,860 --> 00:12:17,220
This is a showcasing of how to look in the fridge

417
00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:18,240
and transform ingredients.

418
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,080
Thank you.

419
00:12:19,620 --> 00:12:20,960
Next up, Jared's dish.

420
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,240
Canned ham mac and cheese.

421
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:26,580
I mean, I've never seen boxed mac and cheese look like this.

422
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,420
It looks like you could serve it in a restaurant.

423
00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:30,280
Great job transforming this.

424
00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:31,100
Thanks, Chef.

425
00:12:31,220 --> 00:12:31,980
Don't eat too much of it.

426
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:33,840
Oof.

427
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,900
Like, weight off the shoulders.

428
00:12:36,260 --> 00:12:40,020
Next up, we have Elise's meatloaf meatballs

429
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:42,080
over mash with roasted corn.

430
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,340
It's a tough one because you've got

431
00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:46,660
very few places to go on this.

432
00:12:46,660 --> 00:12:48,420
I actually quite like the caramelization

433
00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:49,340
on the outside of the meatball.

434
00:12:49,460 --> 00:12:50,180
They're actually tasty.

435
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,200
I think it's the hardest grab, if I'm honest.

436
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:53,040
Thank you, Chef.

437
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Next up, Emerson's pork fried rice

438
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,200
finished with a fried egg.

439
00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:01,940
The pork caramelized, seasoned, yeah, beautifully.

440
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:02,640
Really good job.

441
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:03,400
Thank you.

442
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:08,260
Next up, we have Earl's lasagna beef spring roll.

443
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,940
That is a tough grab, my man.

444
00:13:13,140 --> 00:13:14,060
It was a tough grab.

445
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,920
I've never seen one of those in a roll like that.

446
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,680
Did you use the leftover lasagna?

447
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,940
The actual noodles?

448
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,940
Yes, there's some in there.

449
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,820
Yeah, tough grab, my man.

450
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:25,500
I think the nerves kind of got a hold of you a bit.

451
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:27,520
He is not nervous as a peace officer.

452
00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:28,900
Really?

453
00:13:29,060 --> 00:13:29,560
Yeah.

454
00:13:29,860 --> 00:13:31,960
Were you not nervous in your first cook?

455
00:13:32,060 --> 00:13:33,240
Never, gal, never.

456
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:33,500
Never.

457
00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:38,560
Lastly, we have Michael's chicken moussaka,

458
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,280
stewie couscous, and a yogurt sauce.

459
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:44,460
I'm just awaiting that first bite,

460
00:13:44,460 --> 00:13:46,380
and I know they're going to shimmy shake.

461
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,580
Listen, the flavor's a little bit all over the place.

462
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,060
It's like a sort of sloppy chicken stew.

463
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,020
They didn't shimmy shake.

464
00:13:56,900 --> 00:13:59,220
Texturally, this dish is just really, really soft.

465
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:02,460
Please take a moment, talk amongst yourselves,

466
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:04,160
and we're going to converse.

467
00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:04,720
Thank you.

468
00:14:05,060 --> 00:14:05,640
Well done.

469
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:06,500
Thank you, Chef.

470
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:06,660
Wow.

471
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:09,340
Can we talk about the Filipino stir fry?

472
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,180
Yeah, Emerson was definitely cooking in his real house.

473
00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:11,540
Really good.

474
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:12,140
Absolutely.

475
00:14:12,140 --> 00:14:14,480
That dish did not taste like it was from the basement.

476
00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:16,860
Mac and cheese, can we just talk about how elevated that was?

477
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,700
The lone away would eat the whole bowl.

478
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:19,840
I hear mac and cheese like busting.

479
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,480
The curry with the naan bread, the little...

480
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:22,980
The naan bread.

481
00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:24,760
Okay, it's one thing to make bread.

482
00:14:24,940 --> 00:14:26,300
It's the other thing to make really good bread.

483
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:26,680
Delicious.

484
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:27,880
Worst two dishes.

485
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:31,700
The chicken moussaka, it was just a big plate of mush.

486
00:14:32,060 --> 00:14:33,040
The dish needed texture.

487
00:14:33,180 --> 00:14:33,520
Exactly.

488
00:14:33,780 --> 00:14:35,800
And the other one was that spring roll lasagna.

489
00:14:36,260 --> 00:14:37,360
The spring roll lasagna.

490
00:14:37,820 --> 00:14:38,380
Tough, really tough.

491
00:14:38,980 --> 00:14:39,520
I'm looking back.

492
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:40,500
I'm literally looking back at this.

493
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,220
Shall we?

494
00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:41,520
Yes.

495
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:42,520
Uh-oh.

496
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,600
Our parents are back.

497
00:14:44,020 --> 00:14:44,780
All right, guys.

498
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,520
The first three chefs that have earned their way to the middle level,

499
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:55,760
Jared, Emerson, and Amber.

500
00:14:57,420 --> 00:14:58,460
Good job, guys.

501
00:14:58,540 --> 00:14:59,120
Head to the elevator.

502
00:14:59,380 --> 00:15:00,940
Man, but talk about adrenaline.

503
00:15:01,380 --> 00:15:02,720
I feel like I could run through a brick wall.

504
00:15:03,140 --> 00:15:08,880
The next three chefs that have cooked their way out of the basement are

505
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Danielle, Diana, and Elise.

506
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:16,880
Great job.

507
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,340
Earl, here you go.

508
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,840
That leaves Earl and Michael.

509
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,920
The final chef that is moving to the next level is...

510
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,300
The stakes couldn't be higher.

511
00:15:28,660 --> 00:15:31,180
There's got to be some miracle that could save me at this point.

512
00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:32,520
It's daunting.

513
00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:35,020
I want to get drafted on one of their teams so bad.

514
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:36,500
I mean, that's why we're here, right?

515
00:15:42,020 --> 00:15:47,120
The final chef that is moving to the next level is...

516
00:15:49,850 --> 00:15:50,170
Earl.

517
00:15:51,710 --> 00:15:52,150
Congratulations.

518
00:15:52,810 --> 00:15:53,810
Please head to the elevator.

519
00:15:54,810 --> 00:15:55,390
Thank you.

520
00:15:56,470 --> 00:15:58,430
Michael, don't let this define you.

521
00:15:58,530 --> 00:15:58,930
Never.

522
00:15:59,150 --> 00:16:00,050
Or your dance moves.

523
00:16:00,110 --> 00:16:00,330
Nope.

524
00:16:00,550 --> 00:16:01,430
I appreciate you all.

525
00:16:01,450 --> 00:16:01,770
Thank you so much for being here.

526
00:16:01,890 --> 00:16:02,310
Thank you.

527
00:16:02,630 --> 00:16:03,190
Thank you.

528
00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:04,250
Wow.

529
00:16:04,910 --> 00:16:08,070
I got to show people that I'm a little bit more than just the dancing blue shirt guy.

530
00:16:08,070 --> 00:16:11,850
I've got to wear this for a short time, but it was some time.

531
00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:14,530
But I'm proud.

532
00:16:17,390 --> 00:16:19,670
When in doubt, dance it out.

533
00:16:22,610 --> 00:16:24,410
At next level, chef.

534
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:24,990
Bye.

535
00:16:26,430 --> 00:16:27,110
You ready?

536
00:16:27,450 --> 00:16:27,550
Yeah.

537
00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:29,870
Welcome to the middle kitchen, guys.

538
00:16:30,810 --> 00:16:31,930
Welcome, welcome, welcome.

539
00:16:32,250 --> 00:16:34,450
It is built for catering, okay?

540
00:16:34,450 --> 00:16:35,890
Not for single dishes, so be smart.

541
00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:38,130
Arsenal of pots and pans down there.

542
00:16:38,490 --> 00:16:38,830
Okay.

543
00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:41,230
In this kitchen, everything is huge.

544
00:16:41,410 --> 00:16:42,890
Huge is great if you're serving 100.

545
00:16:43,150 --> 00:16:46,750
We're making a tiny portion, so that is tough.

546
00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:48,850
Think about a dish you're going to cook for your loved ones.

547
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:50,270
Make it special.

548
00:16:50,670 --> 00:16:53,110
Say celebration, birthday dish, anniversary.

549
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:56,690
Just give love into that dish.

550
00:16:57,130 --> 00:16:57,610
Excellent.

551
00:16:57,750 --> 00:16:58,530
Right, guys, line up.

552
00:16:58,570 --> 00:16:59,050
Here we go.

553
00:16:59,330 --> 00:17:01,090
The home cooks, that's where it's at, right?

554
00:17:01,370 --> 00:17:04,030
20 minutes, that platform is starting to move.

555
00:17:04,030 --> 00:17:05,530
Grab Smiley, right?

556
00:17:09,290 --> 00:17:10,450
Let's go, guys.

557
00:17:10,550 --> 00:17:11,490
Go, go, go, go.

558
00:17:13,329 --> 00:17:15,109
He does not have to move.

559
00:17:15,190 --> 00:17:16,329
The wingspan on Jerry.

560
00:17:16,690 --> 00:17:16,890
What?

561
00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:20,550
Jerry, his arms are just the longest things ever.

562
00:17:21,130 --> 00:17:22,150
Skirt steak there.

563
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:24,310
I'm grabbing the skirt steak because my wife loves it.

564
00:17:24,490 --> 00:17:25,750
This is in the wheelhouse.

565
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:26,869
I can do this.

566
00:17:27,010 --> 00:17:29,030
Lamb chops, fresh clams.

567
00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:29,990
Oh, man, sausage.

568
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:30,570
Sorry, dude.

569
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:31,330
Good, well done.

570
00:17:31,490 --> 00:17:33,130
I see chicken, yes.

571
00:17:33,330 --> 00:17:34,370
And then I see some rice.

572
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:36,470
And now I can grab some herbs.

573
00:17:36,590 --> 00:17:39,670
I can make my mother's mole fojo, lazy mole.

574
00:17:40,090 --> 00:17:41,070
10 seconds, guys.

575
00:17:41,530 --> 00:17:42,570
Beautiful carrots.

576
00:17:43,190 --> 00:17:44,610
Snow peas as well, yes?

577
00:17:44,770 --> 00:17:45,850
Ground turkey.

578
00:17:46,510 --> 00:17:47,790
Three seconds, guys.

579
00:17:48,050 --> 00:17:49,010
Let's go.

580
00:17:49,190 --> 00:17:50,550
That's a great wrap, by the way.

581
00:17:50,670 --> 00:17:51,350
Well done.

582
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:52,450
Let's go.

583
00:17:52,530 --> 00:17:52,770
Good.

584
00:17:52,930 --> 00:17:54,050
Everyone got a protein, yes?

585
00:17:54,370 --> 00:17:54,890
Yes.

586
00:17:55,050 --> 00:17:56,290
Focus on that protein.

587
00:17:56,550 --> 00:17:58,890
Get the protein underway early.

588
00:17:59,530 --> 00:18:01,150
A dish for loved ones, OK?

589
00:18:01,430 --> 00:18:02,970
Your 20 minutes start now.

590
00:18:03,130 --> 00:18:03,890
Let's go, guys.

591
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:04,230
Yes.

592
00:18:05,010 --> 00:18:05,690
Let's go.

593
00:18:05,990 --> 00:18:06,790
Let's go, let's go.

594
00:18:06,890 --> 00:18:09,570
This is a dish you would make for someone you love.

595
00:18:09,850 --> 00:18:12,710
This is the type of dish I would make for Gordon and Nyesha.

596
00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:13,710
Aw, ditto.

597
00:18:15,530 --> 00:18:16,750
Whisk, whisk, whisk.

598
00:18:17,290 --> 00:18:18,110
Big old giant.

599
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:18,610
All right.

600
00:18:22,990 --> 00:18:25,590
Jared, that whisk looks normal in your hand.

601
00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:28,590
What did you grab, Elise?

602
00:18:29,050 --> 00:18:29,990
I grabbed sausage.

603
00:18:30,270 --> 00:18:31,210
I'm going to break it up and start

604
00:18:31,210 --> 00:18:32,510
cooking it with some aromatics.

605
00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:33,890
She has a journalism background.

606
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:34,090
Right.

607
00:18:34,210 --> 00:18:36,290
You know, she's not really used to these professional kitchens.

608
00:18:36,810 --> 00:18:38,710
I'm your host, Elise Jessie, coming

609
00:18:38,710 --> 00:18:39,830
to you from Paycourt Stadium.

610
00:18:40,170 --> 00:18:42,250
I am a sports journalist, and I cover the NFL.

611
00:18:42,450 --> 00:18:44,270
And this is my 13th season.

612
00:18:44,750 --> 00:18:45,670
She's got recipes.

613
00:18:46,090 --> 00:18:46,950
I do have recipes.

614
00:18:47,670 --> 00:18:50,090
I love cooking, and I always have.

615
00:18:50,570 --> 00:18:53,250
But the number one insult to a female broadcaster

616
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:54,830
is get in the kitchen and make a sandwich.

617
00:18:55,790 --> 00:19:01,030
And so I never let people know what my passion was.

618
00:19:01,030 --> 00:19:04,010
Now it is time for me to step into my chef era.

619
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:07,470
I'm a home chef, but I am the executive chef in my home,

620
00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:10,050
and I have the cutest little sous chefs at my side.

621
00:19:10,530 --> 00:19:12,210
I might be slightly biased.

622
00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:15,150
You're missing a starch, right?

623
00:19:15,390 --> 00:19:16,250
Correct, so I could make a naan.

624
00:19:16,530 --> 00:19:17,630
So, yeah.

625
00:19:17,890 --> 00:19:18,650
You could make a naan.

626
00:19:18,690 --> 00:19:19,110
You've got time.

627
00:19:19,310 --> 00:19:19,510
Yes.

628
00:19:19,670 --> 00:19:21,830
I have never made a naan from scratch before in my life.

629
00:19:21,870 --> 00:19:22,430
Let's see.

630
00:19:22,990 --> 00:19:24,890
But I'm very impressed with Amber.

631
00:19:25,150 --> 00:19:26,890
She made bread from scratch.

632
00:19:27,390 --> 00:19:29,110
To get on one of the mentors' teams,

633
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:31,850
I need to show them that I am strong.

634
00:19:32,010 --> 00:19:32,510
There we go.

635
00:19:32,610 --> 00:19:33,150
Come on, girl.

636
00:19:33,290 --> 00:19:33,790
Come on.

637
00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:34,870
You got this.

638
00:19:34,910 --> 00:19:35,450
You know what you're doing.

639
00:19:35,950 --> 00:19:37,070
Guys, five minutes gone.

640
00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:37,870
Oh, my goodness.

641
00:19:37,870 --> 00:19:40,250
Just over 15 minutes to go.

642
00:19:40,450 --> 00:19:41,370
Amber, tell me about the dish.

643
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:41,830
What are you going to do?

644
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:43,290
So I'm going to do a nice clam sausage

645
00:19:43,290 --> 00:19:44,490
and a nice herby broth.

646
00:19:44,570 --> 00:19:46,210
The kind of dish you'd cook for your dad, Amber?

647
00:19:46,530 --> 00:19:46,890
Oh, yeah.

648
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:48,910
We love seafood boils out in the backyard,

649
00:19:49,210 --> 00:19:50,850
so this will be a nice elevated version.

650
00:19:51,070 --> 00:19:51,250
Good.

651
00:19:51,310 --> 00:19:52,670
Get those clams steaming open.

652
00:19:52,770 --> 00:19:54,610
And don't forget, the money's in that juice as well, right?

653
00:19:54,650 --> 00:19:55,070
You got it.

654
00:19:55,770 --> 00:19:57,350
Diana, the queen of spice.

655
00:19:57,810 --> 00:19:58,130
Drumsticks.

656
00:19:58,130 --> 00:19:59,630
I'm making chicken mole.

657
00:20:00,050 --> 00:20:00,290
Mole.

658
00:20:00,690 --> 00:20:01,730
In 20 minutes.

659
00:20:01,790 --> 00:20:02,650
Mole mama.

660
00:20:02,790 --> 00:20:05,570
There could be, in a good mole, 25 ingredients.

661
00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:06,350
Minimum.

662
00:20:06,610 --> 00:20:07,710
Holy mole.

663
00:20:09,090 --> 00:20:10,730
Get that mole on quickly, yes?

664
00:20:10,930 --> 00:20:11,690
Yes, I got it.

665
00:20:11,890 --> 00:20:13,190
I know I'm not going to have enough time

666
00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:15,090
to probably make great mole, but that's

667
00:20:15,090 --> 00:20:16,770
my heritage, my culture.

668
00:20:17,150 --> 00:20:18,250
I have to do it.

669
00:20:20,350 --> 00:20:23,650
My mom was an amazing Mexican home cook.

670
00:20:24,370 --> 00:20:26,350
Her mole is the best ever.

671
00:20:27,290 --> 00:20:30,250
She was one of those home cooks that

672
00:20:30,250 --> 00:20:32,550
did a little bit of this, a little bit of that,

673
00:20:32,650 --> 00:20:34,310
and nothing was ever written down.

674
00:20:34,570 --> 00:20:36,650
So when she was sick, I was writing

675
00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:39,170
every single recipe down because I

676
00:20:39,170 --> 00:20:41,630
wanted to make sure that I pass that on to my children.

677
00:20:42,550 --> 00:20:45,450
When she died and I started sharing that story

678
00:20:45,450 --> 00:20:47,970
with friends, they were like, this is a book.

679
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:50,130
I was like, you know, it is.

680
00:20:50,670 --> 00:20:53,890
It's so lovely that she is living on with me.

681
00:20:54,370 --> 00:20:57,710
Through every recipe that I make, I know she's here.

682
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,800
Tell me about the dish.

683
00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:04,200
What are you thinking?

684
00:21:04,380 --> 00:21:05,480
I got some green beans.

685
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:06,380
I got some ground turkey.

686
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Maybe get a little ginger in there.

687
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:08,800
But what's the dish?

688
00:21:08,820 --> 00:21:09,500
What are you thinking of?

689
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,520
It's going to develop.

690
00:21:11,380 --> 00:21:13,940
I don't like that right off the bat.

691
00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:15,220
Could I elevate that as well, yes?

692
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:16,600
I'm going to add a little heat to it.

693
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:20,460
I was hoping for some big, magical moment where I say,

694
00:21:20,620 --> 00:21:22,480
hey, Gordon, I'm going to make this.

695
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,800
And he goes, wow, that sounds like a great idea.

696
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,300
OK, we've got to turn it into a complete cohesive dish, yeah?

697
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Right, of course.

698
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,340
That moment didn't happen.

699
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,920
Guys, we are halfway, yes?

700
00:21:33,180 --> 00:21:34,660
10 minutes gone, yes?

701
00:21:34,980 --> 00:21:35,600
Yes, sir.

702
00:21:36,260 --> 00:21:36,980
Danielle, how are you doing?

703
00:21:37,140 --> 00:21:37,460
You know what?

704
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,260
I'm doing really well.

705
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,580
I'm going to make lamb chops, cauliflower mash,

706
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,860
and then we're going to make a salad.

707
00:21:42,140 --> 00:21:44,200
I've got a tiny bit of mint, but I've got apple.

708
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,760
So I'll do a nice little thin salad.

709
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,780
I can't keep it a secret.

710
00:21:46,900 --> 00:21:47,780
I'm looking at Danielle.

711
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:48,580
We love Danielle.

712
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:50,920
I'm thinking Danielle should be on Team Blaze.

713
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,640
Rare, we don't want rare.

714
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,780
When I was pregnant with my son, Noah, we were super broke.

715
00:21:57,940 --> 00:22:00,040
And we were on a little government program

716
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,280
where you got coupons, and you could

717
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,900
go get these little baby food pouches,

718
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,860
but he wouldn't eat them.

719
00:22:04,060 --> 00:22:05,360
And I remember splurging.

720
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,740
It was like $2 on roasted plums and zucchini.

721
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:10,460
And then I started thinking, I'm like, oh, I can do that.

722
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,400
I can roast up plums and zucchini,

723
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,620
and Noah couldn't get enough.

724
00:22:14,060 --> 00:22:16,440
And that's what really gave birth to the cookbooks.

725
00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:19,180
That one book, I self-published it.

726
00:22:19,260 --> 00:22:20,940
And from there, I started randomly

727
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:23,460
working on television, and that changed my life.

728
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,400
I was on the Rachel Ray Show, and she said,

729
00:22:25,500 --> 00:22:27,360
I love this woman because she knows

730
00:22:27,360 --> 00:22:30,060
what it's like to choose between potatoes and toilet paper.

731
00:22:30,380 --> 00:22:31,840
I've never gone to culinary school.

732
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,740
So as a chef and as a cook, I'm a little bit messy,

733
00:22:35,060 --> 00:22:36,160
a little disorganized.

734
00:22:36,180 --> 00:22:37,880
But the beauty that comes from the chaos

735
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,660
is absolutely worth it.

736
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,440
This guy is ready.

737
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,260
Right, shrimp.

738
00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:46,380
Emerson, what's in here?

739
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:48,440
This is going to be for the pasta.

740
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,460
It's going to be a lemon caper sauce.

741
00:22:50,460 --> 00:22:52,480
One of the first dishes that caught my wife's heart.

742
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:53,320
Love that.

743
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:54,540
Let's see it on the plate.

744
00:22:55,260 --> 00:22:57,520
Look at Emerson, lined up.

745
00:22:57,660 --> 00:22:59,860
The mustache is still at full mass.

746
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,800
Get the capers in there as quick as you can.

747
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,040
OK.

748
00:23:02,180 --> 00:23:03,640
It does need some acid in there, right?

749
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:04,200
Yes, chef.

750
00:23:04,460 --> 00:23:07,100
The first thing I look for in a home cook is flavor.

751
00:23:07,340 --> 00:23:09,900
I know they're not going to have the most artistic plates.

752
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:11,940
But what they can do is make something

753
00:23:11,940 --> 00:23:13,540
unique out of something very basic.

754
00:23:13,860 --> 00:23:15,360
And it's all about the flavor.

755
00:23:17,220 --> 00:23:17,980
What's the time?

756
00:23:18,260 --> 00:23:19,180
Five minutes to go.

757
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:20,400
Oh, my goodness gracious.

758
00:23:20,660 --> 00:23:20,900
OK.

759
00:23:21,300 --> 00:23:23,880
Why does this not want to play nice bread?

760
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,520
I'm making a naan for the very first time in my life.

761
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,260
I realize that this bread is way too wet.

762
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,800
Water in there or egg white?

763
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:33,580
Greek yogurt and olive oil.

764
00:23:33,820 --> 00:23:34,580
Come on, Elise.

765
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:35,660
Pull it together.

766
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:36,720
This is power.

767
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:38,720
You want that nice and flat, right?

768
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,860
Oh, my goodness.

769
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,220
If I can't get this naan to work,

770
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:45,060
I'm going to serve the judges, what, sausage on a plate?

771
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Oh, my.

772
00:23:46,460 --> 00:23:46,880
No, no.

773
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,540
No, no.

774
00:23:51,830 --> 00:23:53,890
Guys, we're down to the last two minutes, OK?

775
00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:54,750
Oh, my.

776
00:23:55,070 --> 00:23:55,550
Oh, my.

777
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:56,170
No, no.

778
00:23:56,270 --> 00:23:56,870
No, no.

779
00:23:57,410 --> 00:23:57,950
What are we doing?

780
00:23:58,110 --> 00:23:58,310
OK.

781
00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:59,030
You know what?

782
00:23:59,150 --> 00:23:59,650
You're not playing.

783
00:24:00,110 --> 00:24:00,710
Come on.

784
00:24:00,830 --> 00:24:01,350
You got this.

785
00:24:01,390 --> 00:24:01,930
You know what you're doing.

786
00:24:02,270 --> 00:24:03,590
I've never made a naan before.

787
00:24:03,950 --> 00:24:06,890
But I make everything from scratch for my family,

788
00:24:07,170 --> 00:24:08,710
including our sandwich bread.

789
00:24:09,050 --> 00:24:09,930
We've got to cook more.

790
00:24:10,530 --> 00:24:11,290
How's that bread looking?

791
00:24:11,470 --> 00:24:12,150
I think it's good.

792
00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:12,410
Yeah?

793
00:24:12,850 --> 00:24:15,050
I had no idea if that was going to be good or not.

794
00:24:15,930 --> 00:24:16,930
Start plating, guys.

795
00:24:16,990 --> 00:24:17,650
Start plating.

796
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:23,170
We're looking for amazing home chefs, yes?

797
00:24:23,510 --> 00:24:24,070
Yes.

798
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:26,030
60 seconds to go.

799
00:24:26,430 --> 00:24:27,030
Let's go.

800
00:24:27,150 --> 00:24:27,650
Last minute.

801
00:24:27,950 --> 00:24:28,330
Let's go.

802
00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:36,390
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

803
00:24:36,450 --> 00:24:37,330
And stop, guys.

804
00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:38,730
Hands in the air.

805
00:24:38,850 --> 00:24:39,430
Oh, my goodness.

806
00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:39,730
Well done.

807
00:24:41,030 --> 00:24:42,210
How good was that?

808
00:24:42,550 --> 00:24:43,270
That was awesome.

809
00:24:47,030 --> 00:24:48,150
Welcome back, Naisha.

810
00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:48,670
Thank you, chef.

811
00:24:49,230 --> 00:24:49,590
And Richard.

812
00:24:50,030 --> 00:24:52,070
That was a lot of love, let me tell you.

813
00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:52,950
Visually, what did you think?

814
00:24:53,150 --> 00:24:54,470
Visually, definitely leveled up.

815
00:24:54,590 --> 00:24:56,130
Let's start with Elise.

816
00:24:57,210 --> 00:25:00,890
Caramelized sausage over a handmade naan.

817
00:25:01,190 --> 00:25:03,010
If you're making bread in 20 minutes,

818
00:25:03,450 --> 00:25:04,590
you're doing something right.

819
00:25:04,850 --> 00:25:06,130
But it's easy to make bad bread.

820
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:08,430
This is not bad bread.

821
00:25:09,170 --> 00:25:10,510
I love the yogurt in it.

822
00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:11,750
It gives it a nice texture.

823
00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:13,150
And this is soul food for me.

824
00:25:13,150 --> 00:25:14,990
I know at the beginning, you were sort of, what am I doing?

825
00:25:15,150 --> 00:25:16,130
And then it just evolves.

826
00:25:16,290 --> 00:25:16,730
Really good job.

827
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:17,250
Thank you, chef.

828
00:25:17,430 --> 00:25:19,150
I made a naan for the first time ever,

829
00:25:19,270 --> 00:25:20,550
and the judges like it.

830
00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:23,450
That is mind-blowing to me, OK?

831
00:25:23,490 --> 00:25:25,190
Because I get ripped to shreds by my kids.

832
00:25:27,330 --> 00:25:31,770
Next, Diana's chicken drumstick 20-minute mole with rice.

833
00:25:32,310 --> 00:25:34,730
I would have loved more of that mole sauce

834
00:25:34,730 --> 00:25:35,910
to really experience it.

835
00:25:36,530 --> 00:25:38,750
It's very heavy on the cloves, right?

836
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:39,770
So it's a little bit one-note.

837
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:40,310
OK.

838
00:25:40,310 --> 00:25:44,210
Next up, Emerson's shrimp and lemon spaghetti

839
00:25:44,210 --> 00:25:45,530
with fresh capers in there.

840
00:25:47,330 --> 00:25:49,130
It's a classic for a reason.

841
00:25:49,350 --> 00:25:51,270
And it's the type of dish that I would love to order again.

842
00:25:51,350 --> 00:25:51,690
Great job.

843
00:25:51,990 --> 00:25:52,470
Thank you, chef.

844
00:25:53,030 --> 00:25:56,410
Next up, this is a clam and white wine andouille

845
00:25:56,410 --> 00:25:57,750
broth from Amber.

846
00:25:59,530 --> 00:26:00,010
Delicious.

847
00:26:00,290 --> 00:26:00,630
Really good.

848
00:26:00,790 --> 00:26:02,250
And for me, that's restaurant quality now.

849
00:26:02,370 --> 00:26:03,590
It's a $30 entree.

850
00:26:03,890 --> 00:26:04,410
Really good job.

851
00:26:04,690 --> 00:26:05,310
Thank you, chef.

852
00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:09,710
Next up, from Danielle, paprika-marinated lamb chops

853
00:26:09,710 --> 00:26:12,750
with mashed cauliflower and an apple slaw.

854
00:26:13,030 --> 00:26:15,590
It has this rich, bold paprika flavor

855
00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:18,890
that's, like, smoky and sweet at the same time, but not burnt.

856
00:26:19,030 --> 00:26:19,230
Yeah.

857
00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:19,570
Yeah.

858
00:26:20,090 --> 00:26:22,670
Next up, Earl's caramelized ground turkey

859
00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:25,530
with green beans and a sort of tomato and cucumber salad.

860
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:30,410
The dish doesn't really read at all like it's a complete dish.

861
00:26:30,430 --> 00:26:32,250
It reads like a couple of different components.

862
00:26:32,670 --> 00:26:34,250
It's just not a cohesive dish.

863
00:26:34,490 --> 00:26:35,370
That's the issue.

864
00:26:35,530 --> 00:26:36,950
And I was hoping for a little bit more

865
00:26:36,950 --> 00:26:38,790
sort of magic with that turkey.

866
00:26:38,790 --> 00:26:39,310
Right.

867
00:26:39,450 --> 00:26:39,830
Thank you.

868
00:26:40,610 --> 00:26:44,370
Last up is Jared's marinated seared skirt steak

869
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:46,770
with a cheesy spaghetti underneath.

870
00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:50,430
You don't see too many steak and pasta dishes.

871
00:26:50,630 --> 00:26:52,850
What you do when you're at home and you just want to make

872
00:26:52,850 --> 00:26:55,110
something really, really tasty, the steak is cooked perfectly.

873
00:26:55,430 --> 00:26:57,470
I would have loved you to cook the sauce a little more

874
00:26:57,470 --> 00:26:59,510
with the noodles so you get a little more flavor there.

875
00:26:59,890 --> 00:27:00,490
Steak's nailed.

876
00:27:01,030 --> 00:27:02,010
Seared it like a pro.

877
00:27:02,210 --> 00:27:03,330
I love the pickle at the end as well.

878
00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:04,130
Thanks, chef.

879
00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:06,950
To hear Gordon Ramsay say that I seared it like a pro

880
00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:07,550
was awesome.

881
00:27:07,550 --> 00:27:08,670
That filled me up right here.

882
00:27:08,770 --> 00:27:09,710
Like, that was amazing.

883
00:27:10,110 --> 00:27:10,470
Wow.

884
00:27:10,750 --> 00:27:12,530
We've got some decisions to make.

885
00:27:12,650 --> 00:27:13,490
Please give us a moment.

886
00:27:14,550 --> 00:27:14,810
Wow.

887
00:27:15,630 --> 00:27:16,210
Great dishes.

888
00:27:16,370 --> 00:27:19,250
Even like that open naan with the caramelized sausage.

889
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:20,430
I mean, beautifully done.

890
00:27:20,430 --> 00:27:21,530
Yeah, really nice execution.

891
00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:22,550
You'll be fine.

892
00:27:23,030 --> 00:27:23,750
Positive vibes.

893
00:27:23,950 --> 00:27:24,670
Positive vibes.

894
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:25,070
Yeah.

895
00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:27,110
The clams with the andouille sausage.

896
00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:27,870
Love it.

897
00:27:28,250 --> 00:27:28,850
Lamb as well.

898
00:27:28,910 --> 00:27:29,230
Very good.

899
00:27:29,310 --> 00:27:30,790
And the lamb was rosy all the way through, really.

900
00:27:30,790 --> 00:27:32,090
Danielle can really throw down, though.

901
00:27:32,130 --> 00:27:33,910
I feel like she brings a lot of joy to her food.

902
00:27:34,170 --> 00:27:35,170
At least I know now that you're looking

903
00:27:35,170 --> 00:27:35,950
down there for your team.

904
00:27:35,950 --> 00:27:36,870
So I know who to steal now.

905
00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:38,490
How do you know I'm not just setting you guys up?

906
00:27:38,610 --> 00:27:38,790
No.

907
00:27:38,930 --> 00:27:40,130
You have your eye on Daniel.

908
00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:42,270
How raw was that mole?

909
00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:43,110
Oh, my lord.

910
00:27:43,330 --> 00:27:43,450
Yeah.

911
00:27:43,450 --> 00:27:46,130
I want to kind of taste the 20 ingredients that go into it.

912
00:27:46,210 --> 00:27:48,030
I don't want just red water that tastes like cloves.

913
00:27:48,070 --> 00:27:49,970
I mean, if you say mole, like, give me mole.

914
00:27:50,090 --> 00:27:50,570
I agree.

915
00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:51,430
Lots of sauce.

916
00:27:51,690 --> 00:27:52,330
The turkey.

917
00:27:52,670 --> 00:27:54,170
I feel like he grabbed a little bit of this,

918
00:27:54,210 --> 00:27:55,350
a little bit of this, a little bit of this.

919
00:27:55,370 --> 00:27:56,050
But it's not cohesive.

920
00:27:56,450 --> 00:27:56,630
No.

921
00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:58,130
Are we in agreement?

922
00:27:58,810 --> 00:27:59,130
Absolutely.

923
00:27:59,350 --> 00:27:59,490
Yeah?

924
00:27:59,630 --> 00:28:00,230
I think so, yeah.

925
00:28:01,350 --> 00:28:01,530
Yeah.

926
00:28:01,650 --> 00:28:03,190
Let's cut straight to the chase, shall we?

927
00:28:03,410 --> 00:28:04,950
There were two outstanding dishes

928
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:07,830
that did literally stand out for all the right reasons.

929
00:28:08,150 --> 00:28:12,190
The first two home chefs moving to the top level,

930
00:28:12,370 --> 00:28:16,770
congratulations goes to Amber and Elise.

931
00:28:16,850 --> 00:28:17,730
Well done.

932
00:28:18,010 --> 00:28:18,530
Thank you.

933
00:28:18,550 --> 00:28:18,950
Really well done.

934
00:28:19,050 --> 00:28:19,330
Thank you, chef.

935
00:28:19,510 --> 00:28:20,330
Head to the elevator.

936
00:28:20,590 --> 00:28:21,850
Great job, both of you.

937
00:28:22,250 --> 00:28:24,610
This is, like, one of the happiest moments of my life.

938
00:28:24,790 --> 00:28:25,210
I'm going to cry.

939
00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:28,350
The next three dishes, congratulations

940
00:28:28,350 --> 00:28:32,850
goes to Danielle, Emerson, and Jared.

941
00:28:33,150 --> 00:28:33,630
Well done.

942
00:28:33,630 --> 00:28:35,030
Really well done.

943
00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:35,330
Thank you.

944
00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:35,850
Good job.

945
00:28:36,010 --> 00:28:36,590
Nice job, guys.

946
00:28:36,590 --> 00:28:37,070
Thank you, chef.

947
00:28:38,410 --> 00:28:39,890
Earl and Diana.

948
00:28:40,630 --> 00:28:44,170
The final person joining the rest in the top kitchen

949
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:58,570
goes to the final person joining the rest in the top kitchen

950
00:29:00,730 --> 00:29:03,870
goes to Diana.

951
00:29:04,770 --> 00:29:06,490
Say goodbye to Earl and head upstairs.

952
00:29:06,830 --> 00:29:07,290
Thank you.

953
00:29:07,930 --> 00:29:09,130
I'm still here.

954
00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:10,570
I can't believe it.

955
00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:13,930
This is the last opportunity I have to show

956
00:29:13,930 --> 00:29:17,550
why they want me on their team, so I have to bring it up.

957
00:29:18,270 --> 00:29:20,710
Earl, I know those kids back in Connecticut.

958
00:29:21,110 --> 00:29:21,970
They're going to be proud of you.

959
00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:22,250
Thank you.

960
00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:22,790
Thank you.

961
00:29:23,050 --> 00:29:25,770
Cooking here at Next Level Chef was a different beast,

962
00:29:26,050 --> 00:29:27,970
but I did something pretty cool.

963
00:29:28,910 --> 00:29:29,530
Thank you, sir.

964
00:29:29,670 --> 00:29:29,890
Pleasure.

965
00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:30,670
I really appreciate it.

966
00:29:30,690 --> 00:29:31,030
Thank you.

967
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:32,950
Chef Earl, over and out.

968
00:29:37,910 --> 00:29:38,950
All right, everyone.

969
00:29:39,310 --> 00:29:40,410
Welcome to the top level.

970
00:29:41,430 --> 00:29:42,310
Let's go.

971
00:29:42,830 --> 00:29:44,310
Everything that you wanted.

972
00:29:44,510 --> 00:29:46,750
This is a top-of-the-line kitchen.

973
00:29:47,110 --> 00:29:47,430
Hell, yeah.

974
00:29:47,870 --> 00:29:48,370
Oh, my God.

975
00:29:48,410 --> 00:29:51,010
It's so polished and shiny and pretty.

976
00:29:51,470 --> 00:29:54,630
I'm a top-level girl, so I'm going to be very comfortable

977
00:29:54,630 --> 00:29:57,390
in the top-level kitchen, of course.

978
00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:58,970
There's six of you here.
