Gordon:
Previously on "masterchef,"
2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,629
The competition kicked off with a big twist.
3
00:00:05,673 --> 00:00:08,424
You'll cook alongside
everyone else from
your home region.
4
00:00:08,467 --> 00:00:11,510
Whoever cooks the best dish
will also save
5
00:00:11,554 --> 00:00:13,846
Their entire region
from elimination that night.
6
00:00:13,848 --> 00:00:15,472
Oh, ( bleep ).
7
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,891
- Yeah!
- Come on, south! Y'all got it!
8
00:00:17,893 --> 00:00:19,476
- Taste right to you?
- Could be better.
9
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,104
- Have you ever
fried lobster before?
- I haven't.
10
00:00:22,106 --> 00:00:24,940
- We're about to find out.
You've done it beautifully.
- Congratulations, kyle.
11
00:00:24,942 --> 00:00:27,026
- Ah! Look at that!
- Yeah, midwest!
12
00:00:27,028 --> 00:00:29,445
This regional immunity pin
makes all the difference.
13
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:30,779
You certainly would have been
in the bottom.
14
00:00:30,823 --> 00:00:32,531
With this dish, you're not
even playing the game.
15
00:00:32,575 --> 00:00:34,408
I just see garnishes.
It's just clunky.
16
00:00:34,410 --> 00:00:36,577
- They just look sad.
- I'm so sorry.
17
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:37,619
Gordon: Say good-bye.
18
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:42,249
Tonight, the first mystery box of the season
19
00:00:42,293 --> 00:00:44,251
- Is as american as...
- Apples!
20
00:00:44,295 --> 00:00:45,711
And the tactics begin...
21
00:00:45,755 --> 00:00:48,714
Kyle, you get to pick
what kind of dish
22
00:00:48,758 --> 00:00:50,382
Each region cooks.
23
00:00:50,426 --> 00:00:53,293
I'm excited to make them
a little less comfortable.
24
00:00:53,304 --> 00:00:55,888
- ( bleep )
- let's go!
25
00:00:55,931 --> 00:00:58,390
...As the cooks battle for their home region.
26
00:00:58,434 --> 00:01:00,434
- You good?
- Definitely not
in my wheelhouse.
27
00:01:00,478 --> 00:01:02,102
- Oh, great.
- Not gonna let you down again.
28
00:01:02,146 --> 00:01:05,064
Did you put salt
instead of sugar on them?
29
00:01:05,066 --> 00:01:09,109
The only thing worse
than the dish is lying to us.
I hate being lied to.
30
00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:21,455
- First big mystery box
challenge, guys.
- Yep.
31
00:01:21,499 --> 00:01:24,708
- Love the mystery box.
This is old school.
- Exciting. I love it.
32
00:01:26,962 --> 00:01:30,005
- Oh, my god!
- Oh!
33
00:01:30,007 --> 00:01:31,381
- Oh, no.
- What do we got?
34
00:01:31,383 --> 00:01:34,510
- I told you.
- Oh, mystery box, baby!
35
00:01:34,553 --> 00:01:36,220
Okay.
36
00:01:36,263 --> 00:01:37,763
Nina: It's the first mystery box challenge.
37
00:01:37,807 --> 00:01:39,890
I'm thinking,
"okay, here we go.
38
00:01:39,934 --> 00:01:41,183
What are they gonna
throw at us?"
39
00:01:41,227 --> 00:01:42,976
Okay, mystery box.
40
00:01:43,020 --> 00:01:44,520
Welcome back, guys!
41
00:01:44,563 --> 00:01:45,896
I'm excited, though,
42
00:01:45,898 --> 00:01:47,689
Because I thrive on being
43
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:50,359
A little bit uncomfortable,
and the unknown.
44
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:57,491
Welcome back to "masterchef:
United tastes of america."
45
00:01:57,493 --> 00:01:59,827
( cheering )
46
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:02,996
I'm sure you can all see
how focusing on regions
47
00:02:02,998 --> 00:02:06,625
Is already making this season
tougher than ever.
48
00:02:06,669 --> 00:02:11,380
Now, tonight is your first
mystery box challenge.
49
00:02:12,508 --> 00:02:15,759
On the count of three,
lift your boxes.
50
00:02:15,803 --> 00:02:19,847
One, two, three, lift!
51
00:02:19,890 --> 00:02:21,932
( all scream )
52
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:24,184
( laughing )
53
00:02:24,228 --> 00:02:28,438
- Yeah!
- Not what I was expecting.
54
00:02:28,482 --> 00:02:31,358
- That's right. Apples.
- They're so tiny.
55
00:02:31,402 --> 00:02:35,487
Now, america's one
of the biggest apple-growers
anywhere in the world.
56
00:02:35,531 --> 00:02:37,823
And there are all sorts of
amazing apples in those boxes,
57
00:02:37,867 --> 00:02:40,826
Like the honeycrisp,
the fuji, the gala,
58
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:42,411
And of course,
the classic granny smith.
59
00:02:42,454 --> 00:02:45,539
Now, everyone thinks sweet,
but there are loads
60
00:02:45,583 --> 00:02:48,792
And loads of savory dishes
you can make with apples.
61
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:52,087
- I'm ready for this.
- James, give us
an insight tonight,
62
00:02:52,089 --> 00:02:54,548
What you'd love to make.
Where are we going?
We going sweet or savory?
63
00:02:54,592 --> 00:02:57,509
- I'm going savory.
- Love it. What kind of dish?
64
00:02:57,511 --> 00:03:00,429
- A pork chop.
- Jennifer, you came
into this competition
65
00:03:00,472 --> 00:03:02,222
- With a sweet apple dish.
- Yes.
66
00:03:02,266 --> 00:03:03,891
So, tonight,
where are you going?
67
00:03:03,934 --> 00:03:05,559
I want to show you
savory today,
68
00:03:05,603 --> 00:03:07,227
So I'm thinking some lamb.
69
00:03:07,229 --> 00:03:08,979
Wayne,
what are we thinking?
70
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:11,231
Apple tarte tatin.
Take it sweet.
71
00:03:11,233 --> 00:03:13,901
I love that.
Richie, what we thinking?
72
00:03:13,944 --> 00:03:17,571
The second I saw these apples,
I thought some sort of hickory
smoked barbecue sauce,
73
00:03:17,615 --> 00:03:18,655
So I want to do
some savory with it.
74
00:03:18,699 --> 00:03:20,866
Love that. Now, kyle,
75
00:03:20,868 --> 00:03:22,868
As the winner
of the immunity pin,
76
00:03:22,912 --> 00:03:25,495
Tonight you've got
a big advantage.
77
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:27,456
You heard
all those amazing ideas.
78
00:03:27,499 --> 00:03:29,666
Well, it doesn't really matter
what they're thinking,
79
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:33,670
Because two regions
will make savory dishes.
80
00:03:33,714 --> 00:03:37,507
The other two regions
will make sweet dishes.
81
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:41,887
And you get to pick what
kind of dish each region cooks.
82
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:43,764
( bleep )
83
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:46,558
I'm powerful.
This is amazing.
84
00:03:46,602 --> 00:03:49,603
- So I'd like you
to come on down...
- Okay.
85
00:03:49,647 --> 00:03:51,772
...Join your region,
and have a confab.
86
00:03:51,815 --> 00:03:54,066
Strategize smartly.
87
00:03:56,403 --> 00:03:58,987
I really hope kyle chooses
savory for the northeast
88
00:03:58,989 --> 00:04:01,731
Because it is a little bit
easier to master.
89
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:04,409
When it comes to dessert,
baking's a bit more
of a science,
90
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:06,328
There's not as much room
for flexibility.
91
00:04:06,372 --> 00:04:07,621
There's a little bit more wiggle room
92
00:04:07,665 --> 00:04:09,748
When it comes to cooking a savory dish.
93
00:04:09,792 --> 00:04:11,375
( muted chatter )
94
00:04:11,377 --> 00:04:15,087
So, can I presume
we would like savory? Yes?
95
00:04:15,089 --> 00:04:17,339
So then the question is,
who's the second savory?
96
00:04:17,383 --> 00:04:19,007
- He's going to
pick us for sweets.
- I think he probably will.
97
00:04:19,009 --> 00:04:22,469
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Love it.
98
00:04:22,513 --> 00:04:24,972
Let's go, midwest.
99
00:04:25,015 --> 00:04:29,017
Okay, kyle, let's start
with your home region.
100
00:04:29,019 --> 00:04:32,980
Will the midwest
be cooking savory or sweet?
101
00:04:32,982 --> 00:04:35,899
They're gonna be cooking
savory tonight, joe.
102
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:38,777
- Yeah! We got this.
- Talk me through that.
103
00:04:38,821 --> 00:04:40,279
You know, I think that savory
104
00:04:40,322 --> 00:04:42,489
Is going to be
an easier play today,
105
00:04:42,533 --> 00:04:45,650
And that the sweet
is really gonna handicap
the other regions.
106
00:04:45,661 --> 00:04:47,744
Okay, so let's move on
to the northeast, kyle.
107
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:49,413
What are your thoughts?
What will they be cooking?
108
00:04:49,456 --> 00:04:51,581
So, I think they're gonna be
cooking sweet tonight.
109
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:54,626
Aw, let's go. Let's go.
Come on, northeast!
110
00:04:54,670 --> 00:04:56,211
- Okay.
- We got this.
111
00:04:56,255 --> 00:04:58,213
Why the northeast?
Do you have, like, a vendetta
112
00:04:58,215 --> 00:04:59,881
Against that part
of the country or what?
113
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:02,384
I'm excited to make them
a little less comfortable.
114
00:05:02,428 --> 00:05:06,680
I think that
the northeast is a bigger danger
to the midwest region.
115
00:05:06,724 --> 00:05:10,309
- Okay, so,
one savory, one sweet.
- How about the south?
116
00:05:10,352 --> 00:05:13,312
So, they're gonna be
cooking sweets as well.
117
00:05:13,355 --> 00:05:15,314
- ( kyle laughs )
- let's go!
118
00:05:15,399 --> 00:05:16,815
- We got you.
- Let's get it.
119
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:18,400
Kyle:
Also excited to make them
120
00:05:18,444 --> 00:05:19,860
A little less
comfortable tonight.
121
00:05:19,903 --> 00:05:21,361
I'm a little intimidated
by the south.
122
00:05:21,405 --> 00:05:23,488
- Aarón: Got you.
- And that means you're
123
00:05:23,532 --> 00:05:26,325
- Giving the west savory.
- Whoo! West.
124
00:05:26,368 --> 00:05:27,492
That's what I'm talking about.
125
00:05:27,494 --> 00:05:29,202
- Let's do it!
- Thank you, bruh.
126
00:05:29,246 --> 00:05:32,331
I'm not gonna say
anything ill about the west,
127
00:05:32,374 --> 00:05:34,916
But I think we're most afraid
of these northeast
128
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,501
And southern regions right now.
129
00:05:36,545 --> 00:05:38,337
- That was cold.
- Rude.
130
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:41,673
- Ouch.
- I like being underestimated.
131
00:05:41,717 --> 00:05:45,218
Well, I can't wait to see
how these picks play out.
132
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,763
- Let's do it!
- Now, all of you, remember,
133
00:05:47,765 --> 00:05:51,516
Tonight we'll be tasting
the top dish from each region.
134
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,561
Whoever cooks
the best dish overall will win
the immunity pin.
135
00:05:54,605 --> 00:05:57,606
They'll be safe
from elimination across
the next challenge,
136
00:05:57,608 --> 00:06:02,611
And keep their entire region
safe from elimination tonight.
137
00:06:02,654 --> 00:06:07,491
We'll also taste
the bottom dishes from
the remaining three regions,
138
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:08,992
And whoever cooks
the worst dish from there,
139
00:06:09,078 --> 00:06:12,329
Sadly, will be
leaving the competition.
140
00:06:12,331 --> 00:06:15,540
- Fight for your region,
fight for your team.
- All: Yes, chef.
141
00:06:15,584 --> 00:06:20,337
All right, you'll have one hour
to cook your apple dishes.
142
00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:25,217
60 minutes starts now!
Good luck.
143
00:06:25,260 --> 00:06:27,094
- Let's go, guys.
- Let's go.
144
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:30,138
- Come on, guys.
- Don't waste too much time
in that pantry, please.
145
00:06:30,182 --> 00:06:32,140
Yeah, midwest. Represent.
146
00:06:32,184 --> 00:06:34,434
- Ooh, sorry.
- Excuse me.
147
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,187
- Let me have it.
Excuse me, hon.
- Celery root.
148
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:39,398
- Sugar, guys.
Sugar, sugar, sugar.
- Vanilla.
149
00:06:39,441 --> 00:06:41,358
- Butter, butter, butter.
- Ooh, nice.
150
00:06:41,443 --> 00:06:43,360
Coming right behind
you here, grant.
151
00:06:43,404 --> 00:06:44,903
Grant:
I'm feeling good about cooking a savory apple dish.
152
00:06:44,947 --> 00:06:46,947
I am more of a savory guy
than a baking guy.
153
00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:48,573
We have so many wonderful apple orchards
154
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:50,325
In the central iowa area,
155
00:06:50,369 --> 00:06:52,285
So, you know, I think everybody in the midwest
156
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:54,037
Is gonna be pretty good
on these savory apple dishes.
157
00:06:54,039 --> 00:06:55,789
But I'm a little worried about wayne.
158
00:06:55,874 --> 00:06:57,791
What else do I need?
What else do I need?
159
00:06:57,835 --> 00:06:59,292
Oh, my god,
I'm blanking right now.
160
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:01,837
Wayne was looking for something
on the sweeter side.
161
00:07:01,922 --> 00:07:03,505
I think he might need some help today,
162
00:07:03,549 --> 00:07:05,924
So hopefully the rest of us
can put something on the plate
163
00:07:06,009 --> 00:07:08,343
That gets everybody safe from elimination.
164
00:07:08,345 --> 00:07:10,846
Gordon: Guys, that's four
minutes gone. Let's go!
165
00:07:10,889 --> 00:07:13,306
- All right, james, let's do it.
- Team, let's go.
166
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:18,520
- All right, let's go.
- Go, midwest!
167
00:07:18,564 --> 00:07:19,938
I really am proud
to represent the south.
168
00:07:19,940 --> 00:07:21,690
We really know
how to do dessert,
169
00:07:21,733 --> 00:07:23,233
So I think
we're gonna be fine.
170
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:26,194
Beautiful. Let's go, west.
171
00:07:26,238 --> 00:07:27,821
Looking good.
Y'all ready to take
this challenge?
172
00:07:27,823 --> 00:07:31,992
100%. We don't have beautiful
apple orchards in alaska
173
00:07:31,994 --> 00:07:33,743
Like the rest of the west does.
174
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:35,704
But we do have
crabapples there.
175
00:07:35,747 --> 00:07:40,333
Kyle gave the west savory,
so I am doing some scallops,
176
00:07:40,335 --> 00:07:44,254
Green apple and celery
root purée, apple chutney,
and a crabapple salad.
177
00:07:44,298 --> 00:07:45,672
The scallops are not
the star of this dish,
178
00:07:45,716 --> 00:07:48,175
And it would be easy
for that to become the focus.
179
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:50,552
I definitely feel
like I'm pushing myself
using a few new ingredients,
180
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:53,597
But I'm excited to see
how it turns out.
181
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,224
Anybody need cider,
I got it, northeast.
182
00:07:56,226 --> 00:07:57,559
- Thank you.
- We're good, thanks, ryan.
183
00:07:57,603 --> 00:08:00,228
Our man up there picked
sweet for the northeast,
184
00:08:00,272 --> 00:08:03,940
So I am making a ricotta donut.
185
00:08:03,942 --> 00:08:05,650
Apple everywhere.
186
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:08,403
And then I have a cream cheese
whipped cream icing.
187
00:08:08,447 --> 00:08:10,322
Ricotta donut
is italian dessert,
188
00:08:10,365 --> 00:08:11,823
So it's something
that I'm comfortable with.
189
00:08:11,867 --> 00:08:13,283
Apples are one of the few fruits
190
00:08:13,327 --> 00:08:15,494
That we actually
can grow in the northeast.
191
00:08:15,537 --> 00:08:19,372
And, uh, we're taking that pin
and we're safe tonight.
192
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:22,792
Gordon:
Guys, 10 minutes gone,
50 minutes to go.
193
00:08:22,794 --> 00:08:25,962
Big night. First big
mystery box challenge,
and a big advantage
194
00:08:25,964 --> 00:08:27,506
From that immunity pin winner
last week.
195
00:08:27,549 --> 00:08:29,841
Midwest, looking good.
You're 10 minutes in.
196
00:08:29,885 --> 00:08:32,010
- Great start.
- Thank you, kyle.
197
00:08:32,045 --> 00:08:36,130
And kyle's nominated
midwest, his region,
and the west doing savory,
198
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:38,642
Followed by northeast
and south doing the dessert.
That's a tough call, right?
199
00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:42,187
Kyle's really keeping the south
and the northeast on their toes.
200
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:43,730
90% of them were leaning
towards a savory
201
00:08:43,732 --> 00:08:46,233
Because that is the easiest
option. Let's be honest.
202
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:49,069
It's so much more difficult
to pull of the dessert
in 60 minutes.
203
00:08:49,071 --> 00:08:50,570
- For sure.
- That's up for debate.
204
00:08:50,614 --> 00:08:52,489
I think there's so many
classical apple desserts
205
00:08:52,491 --> 00:08:54,699
That should be coming to play,
whether it's a tarte tatin,
206
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:56,284
Whether it's some apple churros.
207
00:08:56,328 --> 00:08:58,203
Many different things
you can do.
208
00:08:58,205 --> 00:09:00,330
But I still think
it's way easier
209
00:09:00,332 --> 00:09:02,791
To do a delicious savory dish
than a dessert tonight.
210
00:09:02,793 --> 00:09:06,461
I think the northeast and the
south are in for some trouble.
211
00:09:06,505 --> 00:09:08,171
Right, nina, tell me,
what are you doing?
212
00:09:08,215 --> 00:09:11,424
I am calling this
sam and mom's apple crumble.
213
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:14,636
Sam is my 10-year-old and he is a budding foodie,
214
00:09:14,638 --> 00:09:17,472
And apple crumble is his
favorite dessert in the world.
215
00:09:17,516 --> 00:09:20,183
But it's also mom's,
and I'm gonna put some
thyme in the crumble
216
00:09:20,227 --> 00:09:22,978
For a little bit of an adult
flavor, and a little bit
of bourbon as well.
217
00:09:23,021 --> 00:09:25,814
So you're making
a crème fresh? A custard?
Where are we going with this?
218
00:09:25,857 --> 00:09:28,608
I am going to do a stabilized
maple whipped cream,
219
00:09:28,652 --> 00:09:32,737
And I'm also going to do
a little bit of a fresh fruit
salad on top of that.
220
00:09:32,781 --> 00:09:36,324
Kyle seems to be slightly
intimidated with the strength
of the northeast.
221
00:09:36,368 --> 00:09:38,577
What does that say
about your region?
222
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:39,953
There's a lot of apples
that grow in the northeast,
223
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:41,121
And so we all know
what we're doing with them.
224
00:09:41,164 --> 00:09:42,455
I'm not worried about us at all.
225
00:09:42,499 --> 00:09:43,999
- Good luck, yes?
- Thank you.
226
00:09:44,001 --> 00:09:46,668
Ah, midwest, it's smelling good.
We got this.
227
00:09:46,712 --> 00:09:49,588
Apples coming out of my ears.
228
00:09:49,631 --> 00:09:51,298
- Hello, wayne.
- Hey, guys.
229
00:09:51,341 --> 00:09:53,508
You're not making
risotto again, are you?
That was enough.
230
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:55,302
That risotto would have
taken you straight home.
231
00:09:55,345 --> 00:09:57,304
Well, I'm gonna make up
for it today, guys, I promise.
232
00:09:57,347 --> 00:10:00,223
- So, what's the dish?
- It's harissa rubbed scallops.
233
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:03,518
And we're gonna have
an apple and fennel purée,
234
00:10:03,562 --> 00:10:05,729
And it's gonna have
an israeli couscous
with apples, fig,
235
00:10:05,731 --> 00:10:08,231
And just lightly dusted
with a harissa spice
that I have yet to make.
236
00:10:08,233 --> 00:10:09,983
You don't have
to have apples everywhere.
237
00:10:09,985 --> 00:10:11,359
Make sure it's balanced
and it makes sense.
238
00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:12,986
'cause we have
to eat the dish, too.
239
00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:14,779
Is that israeli couscous
you're cooking from dry?
240
00:10:14,823 --> 00:10:15,989
I'm toasting it right now.
241
00:10:15,991 --> 00:10:17,991
You know, the process
with couscous
242
00:10:17,993 --> 00:10:19,576
Is not so different
than risotto.
243
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,329
- Oh, great.
- Good luck.
244
00:10:22,372 --> 00:10:24,706
Got dinged last week
for bad technique,
245
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:26,708
So I need to prove
246
00:10:26,743 --> 00:10:29,294
That my cooking skills are good enough to be here.
247
00:10:29,338 --> 00:10:31,630
As a business guy,
sometimes you take some fails,
248
00:10:31,673 --> 00:10:33,506
But I can't make the same mistake twice
249
00:10:33,550 --> 00:10:35,383
Or I could be leaving this kitchen today.
250
00:10:35,427 --> 00:10:37,052
Oh, man.
251
00:10:48,899 --> 00:10:52,484
- I love my apples!
- Come on.
252
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:55,153
First mystery box
of the season. Apples!
253
00:10:55,197 --> 00:10:58,365
Someone's winning the immunity
pin and saving their region.
254
00:10:58,408 --> 00:10:59,491
Kyle:
I feel like the midwest
is under control.
255
00:10:59,534 --> 00:11:02,661
I like this.
We look like master chefs.
256
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:05,664
- Thank you, kyle.
- Kyle's team, they're doing
what they wanted to do,
257
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:09,209
Which is savory, because
it's a little bit easier.
258
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:11,419
He also gave the west savory.
259
00:11:11,463 --> 00:11:13,380
I think in his mind,
the west is a weaker team.
260
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:15,507
There's only four of them.
He really wants to challenge
261
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:18,677
And put to the test
the south and the northeast,
262
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,804
- Giving them sweet because
it's very difficult to do.
- Yeah.
263
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:24,224
Guys, 40 minutes to go.
Let's go!
264
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:25,725
Where'd my salt go?
Where'd my salt go?
265
00:11:27,604 --> 00:11:29,312
- No? I'll grab one.
- No.
266
00:11:29,356 --> 00:11:31,564
- Can you grab one
for me, too, please?
- Yeah, babe.
267
00:11:31,608 --> 00:11:34,109
I'm glad I got sweet
because I want to open up
my dessert shop,
268
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:37,779
Which is going to be
all different type of desserts
from all over the world.
269
00:11:37,781 --> 00:11:41,658
I'm making rice pudding
with cardamom and rose
with apple in it.
270
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:45,370
I got a little hiccup here
because my milk curdled twice,
271
00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:47,414
So I'm a little
behind on my rice.
272
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:50,375
So if it doesn't come out,
the rice might be uncooked.
273
00:11:52,254 --> 00:11:53,628
- Richie.
- Talk to me.
274
00:11:53,672 --> 00:11:55,505
What's the dish
and what apple are you using?
275
00:11:55,549 --> 00:11:58,258
I'm using
the black arkansas apple
276
00:11:58,301 --> 00:11:59,551
And I'm doing
a honey spice cupcake
277
00:11:59,594 --> 00:12:00,802
With an apple filling on top
278
00:12:00,846 --> 00:12:01,928
And a tarragon whipped cream.
279
00:12:01,972 --> 00:12:04,305
- That's a tall order.
- It is.
280
00:12:04,307 --> 00:12:05,640
How are you gonna
get the batter done?
Have you started the batter?
281
00:12:05,684 --> 00:12:08,309
I've just started. I got
my butter melting right now.
282
00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:10,353
Batter won't take me too long.
It's just letting it sit
in that oven.
283
00:12:10,355 --> 00:12:12,605
Last time round,
with the dessert,
it was very disappointing.
284
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:15,400
I'm hoping you climb
that ladder tonight, yes?
285
00:12:15,444 --> 00:12:17,235
That's my goal, chef.
That's my goal.
286
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:18,403
Get those cupcakes
in the oven, yes?
287
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:20,697
- Thank you so much.
- Good luck.
288
00:12:22,701 --> 00:12:25,827
- Apples are in.
- How's those knife cuts, james?
289
00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:28,621
- You know, looking pretty good.
- I love it.
290
00:12:28,665 --> 00:12:30,749
Kyle: You guys are all
cooking bacon back here
291
00:12:30,792 --> 00:12:31,916
And it smells really good.
292
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,627
- You know you want it.
- I do.
293
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:36,880
Make sure y'all salt
and taste everything,
294
00:12:36,923 --> 00:12:39,257
- And make sure
y'all get y'all plates.
- Yes, thank you.
295
00:12:39,301 --> 00:12:40,884
- Oh, ( bleep ).
- Get y'all plates.
296
00:12:40,927 --> 00:12:42,719
- Thank you, james.
- You're welcome.
297
00:12:42,721 --> 00:12:44,596
- Kennedy. How are you?
- Hello!
298
00:12:44,598 --> 00:12:45,889
- Joe: Pork loin.
- Aarón: Yes.
299
00:12:45,932 --> 00:12:48,433
- Pork tenderloin, sure.
- Kennedy, do you feel
300
00:12:48,477 --> 00:12:51,227
Like you got a bye with
the savory designation?
301
00:12:51,271 --> 00:12:52,645
I definitely think
that I got a bye.
302
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:55,356
I cook savory a lot more
than I cook sweet,
303
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,400
And I know pork
like the back of my hand.
304
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:59,194
My mom used to cook pork in,
like, the crock-pot,
305
00:12:59,196 --> 00:13:01,446
So this is an homage
to my mother today.
306
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:03,490
So I'm gonna do
a pork tenderloin
with apple two ways.
307
00:13:03,533 --> 00:13:05,408
I'm gonna do
an apple butter gravy
308
00:13:05,494 --> 00:13:07,660
And then a pickled
green apple, fennel,
309
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:10,163
- And red onion salad to top.
- I love a pork tenderloin.
310
00:13:10,207 --> 00:13:12,207
- Very underappreciated.
- Only if it's done right.
311
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:14,626
- Has to be done right.
- But it's a beautiful canvas.
312
00:13:14,669 --> 00:13:17,003
- Yeah. All right, good luck.
- Thank you so much.
313
00:13:17,881 --> 00:13:19,088
Mm.
314
00:13:23,595 --> 00:13:26,179
- How you doing over there, sav?
- I'm all right.
315
00:13:26,223 --> 00:13:28,348
That don't sound convincing.
What's going on?
316
00:13:28,391 --> 00:13:30,350
I was talking,
my caramel's got too dark,
but that's okay.
317
00:13:30,393 --> 00:13:32,602
- All right.
- Uh, reagan, how we doing?
318
00:13:32,604 --> 00:13:34,979
- Hi! I'm well. How are you?
- Tell me about the dish.
What are we doing?
319
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:38,191
I am making flambéed apples
over a shortcake.
320
00:13:38,193 --> 00:13:40,360
- A shortcake, like a tower?
- Yes, like a tower.
321
00:13:40,403 --> 00:13:42,821
What does that say that kyle
wants you to do a dessert?
322
00:13:42,823 --> 00:13:46,574
He's very afraid,
as he should be. The south,
we are a threat.
323
00:13:46,618 --> 00:13:50,495
We know flavor
better than any other,
and we're gonna bring it today.
324
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:51,955
- Ain't that right, guys?
- That's right!
325
00:13:51,957 --> 00:13:53,915
And put kyle back
in his box, yes?
326
00:13:53,917 --> 00:13:54,833
We gonna put him right back
327
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:56,209
Where he belongs-- down there.
328
00:13:56,211 --> 00:13:57,669
- Good luck.
- Yes, sir.
329
00:13:59,381 --> 00:14:02,382
- I love you, reagan.
-Ha!
330
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:06,344
- Kendal, you good?
- I got an idea.
331
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:08,638
If I can pull it off,
I think I might be all right.
332
00:14:08,682 --> 00:14:12,767
- Kendal, how are you feeling?
- Well, this is definitely
not in my wheelhouse.
333
00:14:12,769 --> 00:14:15,645
Right. Do you think kyle's
dealt you a dysfunctional card?
334
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:18,648
'cause I don't think
you have many exciting
desserts up your sleeve.
335
00:14:18,733 --> 00:14:21,150
I do not.
That is my wife's wheelhouse.
336
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:23,987
I don't have her here today,
so I'm gonna do a churro.
337
00:14:23,989 --> 00:14:25,822
I'm put some apple
through the food processor
338
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:27,490
To substitute
for some of the sugar.
339
00:14:27,576 --> 00:14:29,659
Churros, with aarón sánchez
in the house tonight?
340
00:14:29,703 --> 00:14:31,202
I'm hoping he doesn't fry me,
that's for sure.
341
00:14:31,246 --> 00:14:32,704
Well, he will take you to task.
342
00:14:32,747 --> 00:14:35,039
I hope I can put something
on the plate that y'all like.
343
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:36,875
But where's the dough?
Where's the churro dough?
344
00:14:36,918 --> 00:14:38,293
Well, I'm just
getting it boiling here,
345
00:14:38,336 --> 00:14:39,752
And then I'm gonna
put that to work.
346
00:14:39,754 --> 00:14:42,422
There's 25 minutes gone,
and that's all you've done is--
347
00:14:42,465 --> 00:14:44,257
I'm actually working
on some garnish stuff as well.
348
00:14:44,301 --> 00:14:46,217
I'm hoping to try to do
an apple--
349
00:14:46,261 --> 00:14:49,387
The duck where you have
the apple coming out?
350
00:14:49,431 --> 00:14:52,265
- An apple what?
- An apple duck.
351
00:14:52,309 --> 00:14:54,475
Where you slice the sides
and you pull out the sides
352
00:14:54,519 --> 00:14:56,227
Like they do
in chinese restaurants.
353
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:57,520
Yes, sir, I'm hoping to just
354
00:14:57,564 --> 00:14:59,522
Give me some kind
of a pop on my plate.
355
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:01,649
- Apple duck?
- Is that no good, you think?
356
00:15:01,693 --> 00:15:06,154
Listen, ( bleep ) the duck.
Just concentrate on
the churros, okay? Please.
357
00:15:06,197 --> 00:15:09,866
- Come on, kendal. Yes.
- Jennifer, push him,
please, yes?
358
00:15:09,910 --> 00:15:11,826
- Are you doing okay?
- Yeah
359
00:15:11,828 --> 00:15:15,330
Thankfully, it did not
curdle this time.
It looks good.
360
00:15:15,373 --> 00:15:17,290
Oh, baby!
361
00:15:17,334 --> 00:15:19,542
So, the northeast,
they're going down
the sweet route.
362
00:15:19,577 --> 00:15:22,962
- Northeast, are we all good?
- All good, my guy, all good.
363
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:24,756
Richie, he's gonna kick off
364
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:27,300
With a cinnamon
and apple cupcake.
365
00:15:27,344 --> 00:15:30,261
But the cupcake batter
is not in the oven yet.
366
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,305
- That's a bit of a problem.
- Yeah.
367
00:15:32,349 --> 00:15:33,765
Gordon: So right now
he's backed up.
368
00:15:33,767 --> 00:15:36,434
And on the heels of richie's
dessert from last week,
369
00:15:36,478 --> 00:15:37,685
Man, he's got
some redemption to do.
370
00:15:37,729 --> 00:15:39,729
He may be in
a real bad position.
371
00:15:39,773 --> 00:15:42,649
Yeah, I'm worried.
Richie, is that batter
in the oven?
372
00:15:42,651 --> 00:15:44,776
- It is in the oven?
Let's go. Good.
- Yes.
373
00:15:44,819 --> 00:15:46,486
I'm on top of it, guys.
I got you, I got you.
374
00:15:46,529 --> 00:15:48,237
I promise.
Not gonna let you down again.
375
00:15:48,272 --> 00:15:50,365
Hey, friend?
Kendal, how you doing?
376
00:15:50,408 --> 00:15:52,408
- Uh, we're coming along.
- Okay, good.
377
00:15:52,452 --> 00:15:55,203
Get it in your piping bag
and let's get it
in your grease, okay?
378
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:56,412
- I know you can do this.
- Yep, yep.
379
00:15:56,447 --> 00:15:57,664
Gordon:
Kendal, from the south,
380
00:15:57,707 --> 00:15:58,915
He's doing a churro,
381
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:01,709
But he is so unfamiliar
with desserts,
382
00:16:01,711 --> 00:16:03,378
He looks so vulnerable.
383
00:16:03,421 --> 00:16:05,338
Aarón:
And the whole thing
with a churro,
384
00:16:05,382 --> 00:16:06,965
It's something that you get
typically in a paper bag,
385
00:16:06,967 --> 00:16:08,841
Just, like,
with cinnamon sugar,
386
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:11,094
So where's the elevation
happening?
387
00:16:11,096 --> 00:16:13,805
Maybe he can pipe
something in there and take it
to that next level,
388
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:15,890
But apple needs to be present
throughout the churro.
389
00:16:15,934 --> 00:16:18,476
Right now, uh,
the guy is in trouble.
390
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,856
30 minutes gone.
Halfway, guys! Halfway!
391
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:26,651
Forgot white wine.
Anybody got white wine?
392
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:29,028
- Oh, no, but I'll use
some, too, if you get it.
- I'll get it.
393
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,408
- How's it going, richie?
- My cupcakes are in now.
394
00:16:33,451 --> 00:16:37,403
I'm gonna check 'em
with the light. Oh, damn it.
395
00:16:37,414 --> 00:16:40,081
I'm a little nervous right now.
Every single time I look,
396
00:16:40,125 --> 00:16:42,750
The cupcakes are in the same place when they should be rising,
397
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:44,544
And I'm not quite sure what it is at this point,
398
00:16:44,587 --> 00:16:46,004
But I can tell
something's not right.
399
00:16:46,039 --> 00:16:48,506
I'm gonna need every minute.
400
00:16:48,550 --> 00:16:51,217
Last week, I was in
the bottom three, and I don't
want that to happen again.
401
00:16:51,261 --> 00:16:52,969
So, I'm slightly concerned
about richie's cupcakes.
402
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:54,679
He is really struggling.
403
00:16:54,723 --> 00:16:55,888
Richie:
They look like they need
a little more time.
404
00:16:55,932 --> 00:16:57,348
Gordon:
He's very lost, isn't he?
405
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:58,850
There's a real chance
he might not do this.
406
00:16:58,893 --> 00:17:00,727
- Yeah, yeah.
- ( groans )
407
00:17:09,863 --> 00:17:13,698
Gordon: Come on!
25 minutes remaining.
408
00:17:13,742 --> 00:17:16,367
- Let's go.
- Oh, man.
409
00:17:16,411 --> 00:17:19,162
Gordon: Please make sure
the apple's incorporated.
410
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,375
Let's go, midwest.
Smelling good back here.
411
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:26,627
We got white wine.
Let me know when you
need it, sarah.
412
00:17:26,671 --> 00:17:29,172
All right, thank you.
I'll need it at the end, really.
413
00:17:29,215 --> 00:17:32,341
Charles, all you gotta do
is ask the midwestern mom
to open your wine for you.
414
00:17:32,343 --> 00:17:33,843
Pour that in my mouth
when you're done.
415
00:17:33,928 --> 00:17:35,720
Oh, I got you. I got you.
416
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:39,348
How's your pasta, grant?
It looks beautiful.
417
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:40,892
Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
418
00:17:40,894 --> 00:17:42,185
I had to switch up
the shape a little bit.
419
00:17:42,228 --> 00:17:44,854
That's gorgeous,
that's gorgeous.
420
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:47,190
All right, charles,
what's the dish?
421
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:50,443
I'm going to do
a red snapper
with fish scales,
422
00:17:50,487 --> 00:17:54,322
But I'm gonna replicate it
with these crimson gold apples
423
00:17:54,365 --> 00:17:56,449
With white wine applesauce.
424
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:59,118
Are you making reference
to the famous dish
425
00:17:59,204 --> 00:18:01,788
Where they make potato scales
on the fish, right?
426
00:18:01,831 --> 00:18:04,248
- Is that your reference?
- Uh, never seen that.
427
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:05,750
Have you ever done
anything like that before?
428
00:18:05,794 --> 00:18:07,585
I'm gonna give it a try today.
429
00:18:07,629 --> 00:18:10,379
It's gonna be pretty
concentrated and sweet
430
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:12,298
- On top the fish,
all that apple.
- Yeah.
431
00:18:12,342 --> 00:18:16,260
What if you got a potato
and have, like, 60% potato
432
00:18:16,262 --> 00:18:18,888
And 40% apples
in the structure of scales?
433
00:18:18,932 --> 00:18:22,475
- Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
- On an edibility basis,
it's gonna be much better.
434
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:24,769
- And more balanced. Yeah.
- Okay, that sounds more doable.
435
00:18:24,771 --> 00:18:27,855
But you've got a lot to do.
This is a complicated dish.
436
00:18:27,899 --> 00:18:29,107
Good luck.
437
00:18:30,735 --> 00:18:32,985
Oh, damn it.
438
00:18:35,532 --> 00:18:37,532
That's the better color
I'm looking for.
439
00:18:37,575 --> 00:18:39,659
Sav, you good over there?
Kendal, you good?
440
00:18:39,702 --> 00:18:41,744
I don't know, we're still--
we're making the first batch.
441
00:18:41,746 --> 00:18:44,455
- So we at least gonna try--
- make sure that it's hot,
442
00:18:44,499 --> 00:18:47,416
- And don't overcrowd them.
- Yeah, I got four in there.
443
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:50,878
Right, jennifer,
tell me about the dish.
What are you doing?
444
00:18:50,922 --> 00:18:52,964
I am making a spiced apple cake
445
00:18:52,966 --> 00:18:55,716
With a brown sugar
cream cheese frosting.
446
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,386
I've got a caramel drizzle
that I'm going to add in.
447
00:18:58,429 --> 00:19:00,638
A spicy apple cake
is very southern,
448
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,016
And so I absolutely hope that
this can get me at the front.
449
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:06,435
- Kyle's put the target
on your backs for a reason.
- I know, I know.
450
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:10,439
So you have to get this dish
to immunity pin level.
451
00:19:10,483 --> 00:19:13,442
- Yes, chef. Thank you.
- Good luck.
452
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:16,195
We're down to the last
15 minutes to go.
453
00:19:16,281 --> 00:19:17,947
Last 15, guys. Let's go!
454
00:19:17,949 --> 00:19:21,576
We got this, guys.
Let's go, let's go!
455
00:19:21,578 --> 00:19:22,660
All right, come on.
456
00:19:24,622 --> 00:19:26,414
- Lizzie, how are you,
young lady?
- Hello there.
457
00:19:26,416 --> 00:19:28,332
- I'm good. How are you?
- What are you making?
458
00:19:28,376 --> 00:19:29,959
I am doing pan-seared scallops
459
00:19:29,961 --> 00:19:32,879
With a green apple
and celery root purée,
460
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:35,623
A honeycrisp chutney,
and a crabapple salad.
461
00:19:35,633 --> 00:19:37,633
- So the apple is present
three different ways?
- Yes.
462
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:41,554
I want to make sure
the apples are the star
and not my scallops.
463
00:19:41,598 --> 00:19:44,849
- Pretty impressive
if it all works.
- Yes. Thank you, chef.
464
00:19:44,851 --> 00:19:46,767
11 minutes?
465
00:19:46,769 --> 00:19:49,520
- ( groans )
- kyle: Smelling good
in here, midwest.
466
00:19:49,564 --> 00:19:52,857
- Smelling good!
- So, in the midwest,
they're doing savory.
467
00:19:52,901 --> 00:19:56,277
- That's good.
- Charles was quite
concerning to joe and I.
468
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:59,322
He wants to do a red snapper
and using the apple
469
00:19:59,365 --> 00:20:02,366
As sort of a faux scale
on top of the fish skin.
470
00:20:02,368 --> 00:20:03,659
- That will not work.
- Yes, I know.
471
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:05,745
Secondly, the skin on
the snapper's delicious.
472
00:20:05,747 --> 00:20:07,747
Why try to replace that with
something that won't work?
473
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:09,332
I told him to consider
474
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:11,542
More potatoes than apples
as the skin?
475
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:14,420
It's a super risky dish.
I'm kinda concerned about that.
476
00:20:14,464 --> 00:20:17,840
Gordon: We're down
to the last five minutes.
477
00:20:17,884 --> 00:20:19,383
Whew. Okay.
478
00:20:19,427 --> 00:20:20,718
It's looking good,
it's looking good.
479
00:20:20,803 --> 00:20:23,512
Whoo, child.
480
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:25,473
Anyone have cinnamon
on their station?
481
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:27,391
- Yeah.
- Thank you, love.
482
00:20:27,435 --> 00:20:28,559
Whew.
483
00:20:29,729 --> 00:20:30,728
Come on, man.
484
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:34,857
- Kyle: Ryan,
I want those donuts.
- Yeah, right?
485
00:20:34,859 --> 00:20:36,234
Kyle:
You want to toss one up here?
486
00:20:36,236 --> 00:20:37,735
I'll catch it in my mouth,
I promise.
487
00:20:43,660 --> 00:20:48,246
Oh, bro. Moist.
I said apple cider donuts
are my favorite.
488
00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:50,998
- You killed it.
- Give me that damn pin.
Give me that pin, baby
489
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,251
I'm glad I made
you guys do a dessert.
490
00:20:53,253 --> 00:20:55,336
Gordon:
90 seconds to go, guys.
Let's go!
491
00:20:55,338 --> 00:20:57,672
Get ready to plate, guys.
Get ready to plate.
492
00:20:57,715 --> 00:20:59,924
Gordon:
Uh, richie's cupcakes,
they're not even full.
493
00:20:59,968 --> 00:21:01,467
- They didn't rise.
- They didn't rise at all.
494
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:02,677
- So they're gonna be dense.
- Yep.
495
00:21:02,762 --> 00:21:03,844
Richie: Oh, damn it.
496
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:05,554
My cupcakes didn't rise.
497
00:21:05,598 --> 00:21:07,348
I'm running out of time,
and there's not much I can do
498
00:21:07,350 --> 00:21:08,557
To save them at this point.
499
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:09,684
And then I realize
500
00:21:09,769 --> 00:21:11,852
I'm missing baking powder.
501
00:21:11,896 --> 00:21:13,521
I don't know
how I made this mistake.
502
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:15,731
It's not a mistake
I normally make...
503
00:21:15,733 --> 00:21:17,400
- ( groans )
- ...But I don't have time to fix it now
504
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:18,609
And I gotta get something on the plate.
505
00:21:18,653 --> 00:21:19,694
Shoot, shoot.
506
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:21,237
I know my ass is on the line,
507
00:21:21,281 --> 00:21:22,780
And I'm probably on that bottom three,
508
00:21:22,824 --> 00:21:23,906
So I don't know what to do.
509
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:24,949
I'm hoping that someone
in the northeast
510
00:21:24,951 --> 00:21:25,950
Can pull it through for me.
511
00:21:25,994 --> 00:21:27,326
( groans )
512
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:28,577
Gordon:
Coming down to the last
513
00:21:28,579 --> 00:21:30,288
30 seconds remaining.
514
00:21:30,331 --> 00:21:33,249
- Let's go!
- ( bleep )
515
00:21:33,293 --> 00:21:35,376
Have confidence, kendal.
You're a dessert man now.
516
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:39,422
- Ten, nine...
- Whew! Okay.
517
00:21:39,465 --> 00:21:42,174
- There we go.
- ...Seven, six, five,
518
00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:45,845
- Four, three, two, one.
- Oh, my god.
519
00:21:45,888 --> 00:21:47,555
- Gordon: And hands in the air!
- Whoo!
520
00:21:47,598 --> 00:21:49,265
- Whoo!
- Go!
521
00:21:49,309 --> 00:21:50,975
- Well done.
- You got it, my love.
You got it.
522
00:21:50,977 --> 00:21:53,185
- Yours looks beautiful.
- Oh, you got it.
523
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:54,887
- Good job, guys.
- What's that? Couscous?
524
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:57,815
- Israeli couscous.
- Oh, my gosh.
525
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:59,317
It is what it is.
526
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:01,193
Kendal:
I've got my bags packed.
527
00:22:01,237 --> 00:22:03,863
I am extremely concerned.
528
00:22:03,906 --> 00:22:07,408
I don't feel like this dish
is elevated enough to stay,
529
00:22:07,410 --> 00:22:10,286
And I definitely do not feel
like it's worthy enough
to reach the top.
530
00:22:10,330 --> 00:22:12,496
In the last two weeks,
I've been the weak link.
531
00:22:12,498 --> 00:22:14,290
I'm just trying to survive
at this point.
532
00:22:14,334 --> 00:22:16,959
Kyle's decision
definitely screwed me,
that's for sure.
533
00:22:28,181 --> 00:22:30,681
Right, tonight,
you had to use the apples
534
00:22:30,725 --> 00:22:35,519
From your mystery boxes
to create incredible dishes.
535
00:22:35,563 --> 00:22:36,896
Some were sweet
and some were savory,
536
00:22:36,939 --> 00:22:39,023
Based on kyle's input.
537
00:22:39,067 --> 00:22:44,445
Okay, kyle, it is time
to hand over that immunity pin
to someone else.
538
00:22:44,447 --> 00:22:46,364
- So, come on down, kyle.
- So, my strategy tonight
539
00:22:46,407 --> 00:22:50,242
Was to levy a penalty against
the northeast and the south
540
00:22:50,244 --> 00:22:52,620
And see if we can send somebody home.
541
00:22:52,663 --> 00:22:54,955
I think it worked, but we'll see.
542
00:22:54,999 --> 00:22:57,208
Right, now, joe, aarón,
and myself want to take
543
00:22:57,210 --> 00:23:01,045
One last close look
at your dishes.
544
00:23:04,634 --> 00:23:06,967
- Wayne?
- Yes, sir.
545
00:23:06,969 --> 00:23:08,761
This is a very challenging
kind of couscous.
546
00:23:08,805 --> 00:23:11,430
- You think you
cooked it through?
- Yes, I do.
547
00:23:14,602 --> 00:23:18,771
- Uh, charles, what is this?
- This is a white wine sauce.
548
00:23:18,773 --> 00:23:20,439
Did you burn the alcohol
out of the wine?
549
00:23:20,483 --> 00:23:22,525
- I blended it in there. No.
- Did you burn it?
550
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:25,069
So you have raw alcohol
in the sauce.
551
00:23:25,113 --> 00:23:28,572
- Yes.
- Gordon: Thank you.
552
00:23:29,992 --> 00:23:31,992
Looking around at the other
dishes in my region,
553
00:23:31,994 --> 00:23:34,245
I think we all did
a fantastic job.
554
00:23:34,288 --> 00:23:35,496
It makes me angry that kyle
555
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:38,207
Doesn't see the west as a threat.
556
00:23:38,209 --> 00:23:41,127
We have some phenomenal cooks
on our team.
557
00:23:41,170 --> 00:23:44,672
- All right, kennedy. You did
justice to the pork loin?
- I sure did.
558
00:23:44,715 --> 00:23:48,217
I do get intimidated
by the judges when
they walk around,
559
00:23:48,261 --> 00:23:51,053
But I know the insight
they have to offer
is just invaluable.
560
00:23:51,139 --> 00:23:54,390
Gordon:
Right, lizzie, you happy with
that color on those scallops?
561
00:23:54,434 --> 00:23:56,225
- Yes.
- Okay.
562
00:23:56,227 --> 00:23:58,227
Joe:
A little overcooked, maybe?
563
00:23:58,271 --> 00:24:01,063
- No.
- Interesting. Okay.
564
00:24:01,065 --> 00:24:04,358
This challenge
was definitely harder than
I thought I was gonna be.
565
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,652
- Did you taste it?
- Yeah, I did.
566
00:24:06,696 --> 00:24:10,364
- Taste right to you?
- It was a little bit
extra sugar, I felt.
567
00:24:10,366 --> 00:24:11,657
Richie:
You lift a mystery box
568
00:24:11,701 --> 00:24:13,826
And see something as simple as apples
569
00:24:13,870 --> 00:24:15,369
And you're like, "I'm gonna knock this out of the park."
570
00:24:21,961 --> 00:24:23,627
Then you get to cooking and realize
571
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:26,130
It is not as easy
as you think it's gonna be.
572
00:24:29,802 --> 00:24:32,219
I'm definitely not happy with the texture of these cupcakes.
573
00:24:32,221 --> 00:24:33,929
It's just missing baking powder,
574
00:24:33,931 --> 00:24:35,556
But they don't seem too happy with me,
575
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,849
And I'm probably gonna be in the bottom three,
576
00:24:36,893 --> 00:24:38,309
And I am terrified.
577
00:24:38,352 --> 00:24:41,729
Jennifer,
in terms of the layers,
578
00:24:41,731 --> 00:24:43,522
- Is that what you wanted?
- Yes.
579
00:24:43,566 --> 00:24:44,565
Thank you.
580
00:24:47,069 --> 00:24:48,486
- This is the whole dish?
- Yes, sir.
581
00:24:48,529 --> 00:24:49,987
I'm gonna call
this kyle's churros
582
00:24:50,031 --> 00:24:52,239
'cause my good friend kyle
583
00:24:52,283 --> 00:24:55,451
Had to throw me
a nice curveball.
584
00:25:03,961 --> 00:25:06,921
- Did you taste this?
- The seasoning.
585
00:25:06,964 --> 00:25:08,506
Did you put salt
instead of sugar on them?
586
00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:12,551
No, sir, I put sugar
and cinnamon and, um...
587
00:25:12,595 --> 00:25:14,345
- There's salt in there.
- There's salt, buddy.
588
00:25:14,388 --> 00:25:16,931
Salty like french fries.
There's no sugar on these.
589
00:25:16,933 --> 00:25:19,391
Okay. Well, maybe
I made a mistake there.
590
00:25:19,393 --> 00:25:22,686
Reagan: Salty churros. You ever heard of such?
591
00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:25,439
Baby? Mm.
592
00:25:25,441 --> 00:25:27,983
( bleep )
593
00:25:28,027 --> 00:25:29,818
Kendal:
It's a disaster.
594
00:25:29,862 --> 00:25:31,445
( chuckles )
595
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,738
Oh, man.
596
00:25:32,782 --> 00:25:34,865
Sometimes you ( bleep ) up,
and I ( bleep ) up.
597
00:25:34,909 --> 00:25:36,450
I went from one of the best dishes
598
00:25:36,494 --> 00:25:38,452
A couple weeks ago in audition
599
00:25:38,496 --> 00:25:40,663
To one of the absolute worst in a couple of weeks.
600
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:42,289
So, I'm praying for the south
601
00:25:42,333 --> 00:25:44,583
To pull through
with immunity today.
602
00:25:44,627 --> 00:25:47,336
Now, we'll be tasting
the best dish from every region,
603
00:25:47,380 --> 00:25:51,590
And the winning home cook
will earn the immunity pin,
604
00:25:51,634 --> 00:25:55,010
Which will keep them safe
from elimination next week,
605
00:25:55,012 --> 00:26:00,683
And more importantly,
keep their entire region safe
from elimination tonight.
606
00:26:00,726 --> 00:26:04,937
The first dish we'd like
to taste is from the northeast.
607
00:26:04,981 --> 00:26:07,815
It paid homage to their region
608
00:26:07,858 --> 00:26:10,859
And really
did elevate the apples.
609
00:26:10,903 --> 00:26:14,363
Please come forward...
610
00:26:14,407 --> 00:26:15,531
Nina.
611
00:26:15,575 --> 00:26:18,617
- All right, nina.
- Go, nina. Go, nina.
612
00:26:18,661 --> 00:26:19,702
Let's go, nina.
613
00:26:24,208 --> 00:26:26,500
Nina:
I made bourbon apple crumble
614
00:26:26,544 --> 00:26:30,254
With oat pecan topping,
a maple whipped cream,
615
00:26:30,298 --> 00:26:32,464
And a raw apple salad
as a garnish.
616
00:26:32,508 --> 00:26:35,092
I love the fact
that the crumble's peaking
out of the cream,
617
00:26:35,136 --> 00:26:37,886
And I see that you wanted
to show off your knife work
with that little garnish.
618
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,598
I can't wait to taste it.
619
00:26:49,900 --> 00:26:51,942
For a simple dessert,
there's a lot of technique.
620
00:26:51,986 --> 00:26:55,529
Each component has
its reason for being there,
621
00:26:55,573 --> 00:26:56,989
And that cooking technique
622
00:26:56,991 --> 00:26:59,199
Contributes to
a great flavor implosion
623
00:26:59,201 --> 00:27:01,285
And contrast on my palate.
I liked it very much.
624
00:27:01,329 --> 00:27:03,579
Aarón: This has a tendency
to go dry quick, and it didn't.
625
00:27:03,623 --> 00:27:06,707
So I really appreciate
the way you cooked on the apples
'cause it's adding moisture.
626
00:27:06,751 --> 00:27:08,626
- All right.
- Gordon: The dish is good.
627
00:27:08,628 --> 00:27:11,712
I'm gonna commend you
on the ratio.
It's perfectly done.
628
00:27:11,756 --> 00:27:14,423
One third crumble,
two thirds apple, so apples
are in abundance.
629
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:18,636
You just want to go back in
for the second, third spoonful.
Really good. Well done.
630
00:27:18,679 --> 00:27:20,804
Thank you very much, guys.
Appreciate it.
631
00:27:20,848 --> 00:27:22,306
- Go, nina.
- Go, nina!
632
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:23,557
- Good job, nina.
- Woohoo!
633
00:27:23,601 --> 00:27:25,351
- Atta girl.
- Good job.
634
00:27:25,394 --> 00:27:27,645
The next dish that we would like
to taste is from the south.
635
00:27:27,688 --> 00:27:30,814
Please come forward...
636
00:27:30,858 --> 00:27:33,233
- Jennifer.
- Jennifer!
637
00:27:33,277 --> 00:27:35,486
- Let's go, south, baby!
- There we go.
638
00:27:35,488 --> 00:27:37,321
Jennifer:
I am so proud of this dish.
639
00:27:37,365 --> 00:27:41,158
Everything came together
so nicely, right on time.
640
00:27:43,287 --> 00:27:44,787
Desserts are my sweet spot,
641
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:49,917
So I feel an immense amount of pressure to save the south.
642
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,628
I made an apple spice cake
with a brown sugar
643
00:27:52,672 --> 00:27:55,422
Cream cheese frosting
and a caramel drizzle.
644
00:27:55,466 --> 00:27:57,257
Aarón: Jennifer, I really
appreciate the apples.
645
00:27:57,259 --> 00:27:59,301
You can see them
kind of speckled throughout
the actual cake.
646
00:27:59,303 --> 00:28:01,220
Gordon: Yeah.
It's rustic, it's charming.
647
00:28:01,263 --> 00:28:04,556
- Mm-hmm.
- Shall we?
648
00:28:10,064 --> 00:28:14,358
The cake's delicious.
I can feel those textures
of apple caramelized.
649
00:28:14,402 --> 00:28:17,778
It's light, it's fluffy,
but it's got apple in abundance.
650
00:28:17,780 --> 00:28:20,114
- Great job.
Really good job.
- Thank you. Thank you.
651
00:28:20,116 --> 00:28:21,657
This is a well-seasoned dessert.
652
00:28:21,701 --> 00:28:24,243
The beautiful cinnamon
that's throughout the cake
653
00:28:24,286 --> 00:28:25,619
Goes so perfectly with apple,
654
00:28:25,663 --> 00:28:28,288
And then the frosting
is bringing it all home.
655
00:28:28,332 --> 00:28:30,207
- Thank you.
- Joe: It's really quite good.
656
00:28:30,251 --> 00:28:32,960
For elevating a home dessert,
it's about as good as it can be.
657
00:28:32,962 --> 00:28:37,256
- Thank you.
- ( cheering )
658
00:28:37,299 --> 00:28:39,633
- Whoo!
- Good job, honey!
659
00:28:39,677 --> 00:28:41,593
- All right, jen!
- Mm.
660
00:28:41,595 --> 00:28:46,223
Okay, the next dish
we want to see more of
is from the midwest.
661
00:28:46,267 --> 00:28:48,934
Please come forward...
662
00:28:49,019 --> 00:28:50,811
- Wayne.
- Whoo!
663
00:28:50,855 --> 00:28:52,730
- All right.
- Atta boy, wayne!
664
00:28:52,773 --> 00:28:56,734
I'm feeling relieved,
redeemed, exhilarated.
665
00:28:56,777 --> 00:28:58,986
- Keep the immunity
in the midwest.
- Got it.
666
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:00,487
I want the immunity pin,
667
00:29:00,531 --> 00:29:02,406
And when the midwest wins twice in a row,
668
00:29:02,450 --> 00:29:05,492
I'm gonna show those other
regions that we're here to play.
669
00:29:05,536 --> 00:29:07,786
All right, wayne,
tell us about the dish.
670
00:29:07,830 --> 00:29:11,206
Wayne: So I made
a harissa spiced scallop
671
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:14,209
With an apple fennel purée,
spiced apples,
672
00:29:14,253 --> 00:29:16,378
And a beautiful
israeli couscous.
673
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:17,796
The couscous
looks properly cooked.
674
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,590
The purée looks smooth
and velvety.
675
00:29:19,633 --> 00:29:22,593
- I like the plating.
- Top-notch presentation.
676
00:29:22,595 --> 00:29:23,969
Thank you.
677
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:30,976
Uh, wayne, this is
a great performance.
678
00:29:30,978 --> 00:29:33,687
The purée works beautifully
with the scallops.
679
00:29:33,731 --> 00:29:36,648
- Absolutely spot-on.
Really good job.
- Thank you.
680
00:29:36,650 --> 00:29:39,651
You did an excellent job
in riding that fine, fine line
681
00:29:39,695 --> 00:29:42,196
- In balancing a sweet,
savory dish.
- Thank you.
682
00:29:42,198 --> 00:29:44,323
For me, double up
on the harissa.
683
00:29:44,366 --> 00:29:45,949
It needs that little bit of heat
684
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,576
To kind of cut down
that sweetness.
685
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:50,370
- But other than that? On-point.
- Thanks.
686
00:29:50,372 --> 00:29:51,955
- Nice.
- Great job, wayne!
687
00:29:51,999 --> 00:29:53,874
- Yeah, wayne!
- Way to represent the midwest.
688
00:29:53,918 --> 00:29:55,042
Heck, yeah.
689
00:29:58,506 --> 00:30:02,674
Right, the final dish,
representing the west,
690
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:05,719
Really made smart use
of those apples tonight.
691
00:30:05,763 --> 00:30:08,931
Please step forward, kennedy.
692
00:30:08,933 --> 00:30:10,891
- Eee!
- Whoo!
693
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:12,976
- Kennedy.
- That's our girl!
694
00:30:13,020 --> 00:30:15,729
- Whoo!
- That's what I'm talking about.
695
00:30:15,773 --> 00:30:16,855
- Go, kennedy!
- Yay!
696
00:30:16,899 --> 00:30:18,440
( laughing )
697
00:30:19,527 --> 00:30:21,193
Kennedy: Today,
I made a pork tenderloin
698
00:30:21,237 --> 00:30:23,487
Over a parsnip purée
with an apple butter gravy
699
00:30:23,531 --> 00:30:26,365
And picked green apple
salad on top.
700
00:30:26,367 --> 00:30:28,200
Presentation is off the charts.
It's beautiful.
701
00:30:28,244 --> 00:30:30,285
And it's apparent
the apples are in abundance.
702
00:30:30,371 --> 00:30:32,538
- I can't wait to dive in.
- Thank you, chef.
703
00:30:41,298 --> 00:30:44,466
Dish is delicious.
Purée's spot-on. Silky smooth.
704
00:30:44,468 --> 00:30:46,468
Everything you want
from a parsnip purée.
705
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:49,596
I think the refreshing thing
for me is to taste food
706
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,224
This elegant so early on
in the competition.
707
00:30:52,268 --> 00:30:54,226
- Thank you, chef.
- You're at home here.
708
00:30:54,270 --> 00:30:56,854
- I can taste it. Good job.
- Thank you so much, chef.
709
00:30:56,897 --> 00:30:58,856
Pork tenderloin
is underappreciated.
710
00:30:58,899 --> 00:31:01,316
You celebrated it.
You cooked it perfectly.
711
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,277
For me, I just would maybe like
to see a little bit of heat.
712
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,195
Just hit it with a little bit
of chili, a little chipotle.
713
00:31:05,239 --> 00:31:07,197
- Just 'cause I like spice.
- Thank you, chef.
714
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:09,658
It's kind of like
a textbook example
715
00:31:09,702 --> 00:31:10,951
Of home cooking
or comfort food.
716
00:31:10,995 --> 00:31:13,620
A very, very well thought out,
balanced dish.
717
00:31:13,664 --> 00:31:16,373
- Thank you so much.
- Whoo!
718
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:17,749
- That's what I'm talking about.
- Yeah, kennedy!
719
00:31:17,793 --> 00:31:20,002
- Yeah!
- Good job, kennedy.
720
00:31:20,004 --> 00:31:21,461
Thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you.
721
00:31:21,505 --> 00:31:24,715
You four, give us a moment,
please. Excuse us.
722
00:31:24,758 --> 00:31:27,467
So, it's a tough one,
this one, to have four
extraordinary dishes.
723
00:31:27,511 --> 00:31:29,386
No matter who wins,
it's nice being up here.
724
00:31:29,388 --> 00:31:31,346
- Isn't it?
- For sure. What a gift.
725
00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,974
But I think one dish
stood out the most, no?
726
00:31:33,976 --> 00:31:35,684
Oh, for sure. It's a winner.
727
00:31:35,728 --> 00:31:37,352
- I'm down.
- You agree?
728
00:31:37,396 --> 00:31:38,562
- Yeah.
We're in agreeance?
- I'm with you. Yeah.
729
00:31:38,606 --> 00:31:40,772
- Happy?
- Yeah.
730
00:31:40,816 --> 00:31:43,233
Four amazing dishes tonight.
731
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:45,110
The creative energy was there,
732
00:31:45,154 --> 00:31:47,195
And the execution
was second to none.
733
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:49,197
But unfortunately,
there's only one immunity pin
734
00:31:49,241 --> 00:31:51,241
And one winner tonight.
735
00:31:51,285 --> 00:31:53,702
Congratulations goes to...
736
00:32:08,636 --> 00:32:10,969
Four amazing dishes tonight,
737
00:32:11,013 --> 00:32:13,680
But unfortunately,
there's only one immunity pin
738
00:32:13,724 --> 00:32:15,766
And one winner tonight.
739
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:18,393
Congratulations goes to...
740
00:32:21,982 --> 00:32:24,274
- Jennifer.
- Oh!
741
00:32:24,318 --> 00:32:26,693
- Oh, wow.
- Yes, baby!
742
00:32:26,737 --> 00:32:28,987
Yeah, jen!
743
00:32:28,989 --> 00:32:31,281
- Oh, thank you. Thank you.
- Congratulations.
744
00:32:31,367 --> 00:32:33,408
- Kendal must be really excited.
- Yeah.
745
00:32:33,452 --> 00:32:35,619
Oh, my god.
746
00:32:37,539 --> 00:32:39,706
Jennifer: There was a lot of pressure on me today,
747
00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:41,750
But I got the pin!
748
00:32:41,794 --> 00:32:43,669
This feels amazing.
749
00:32:43,671 --> 00:32:45,295
You win the immunity pin,
750
00:32:45,339 --> 00:32:47,381
You're gonna be safe
in the next challenge,
751
00:32:47,424 --> 00:32:50,342
And you've also saved
your entire region tonight.
752
00:32:50,386 --> 00:32:52,552
- Go, jen!
- Yeah! Good job.
753
00:32:52,554 --> 00:32:54,346
Grab your team
and head up to the balcony.
754
00:32:54,390 --> 00:32:56,264
- Well done, south.
- Thank you again.
755
00:32:56,266 --> 00:32:58,475
- Saved by the bell.
- All right, bud.
756
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:01,436
I a hundred percent
owe jennifer one.
757
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,189
The southern gods have blessed me today.
758
00:33:09,488 --> 00:33:13,532
Now, kendal,
you didn't just cook the worst
dish of the south,
759
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:14,866
Those were
one of the worst churros
760
00:33:14,910 --> 00:33:16,776
We've ever tasted
in the masterchef kitchen.
761
00:33:16,787 --> 00:33:18,286
If it wasn't for jennifer,
762
00:33:18,330 --> 00:33:19,830
You would definitely be the one
going home tonight.
763
00:33:19,873 --> 00:33:21,957
A hundred percent.
764
00:33:21,959 --> 00:33:25,627
Now, there is one dish
from each region
765
00:33:25,671 --> 00:33:27,963
That we felt really
missed the mark tonight.
766
00:33:28,007 --> 00:33:31,508
The first dish we'd like
to investigate further,
from the northeast,
767
00:33:31,552 --> 00:33:36,680
This individual just did not
get their timing on point.
768
00:33:36,682 --> 00:33:39,933
Please step forward...
769
00:33:39,977 --> 00:33:41,184
Richie.
770
00:33:43,647 --> 00:33:45,230
- Sorry, rich.
- It's okay.
771
00:33:45,274 --> 00:33:46,648
Richie:
I wanted to make cupcakes,
772
00:33:46,692 --> 00:33:48,233
But they didn't rise on time.
773
00:33:48,277 --> 00:33:50,527
- Oh, richie.
- So, I'm switching it up
774
00:33:50,612 --> 00:33:52,362
And calling it a homecake instead of a cupcake.
775
00:33:52,364 --> 00:33:55,490
I don't want the judges
to have to eat this,
but I have no choice.
776
00:33:55,534 --> 00:33:57,367
Right, young man,
what's the dish?
777
00:33:57,411 --> 00:33:59,244
So, this was a nod
to my grandmother.
778
00:33:59,288 --> 00:34:01,371
She used to make homecakes
with no leavening.
779
00:34:01,373 --> 00:34:03,457
They were meant to be placed
underneath the sauce
780
00:34:03,500 --> 00:34:05,208
And then the sauce
would soak it up.
781
00:34:05,252 --> 00:34:09,254
I made spiced homecakes
with an apple compote on top,
782
00:34:09,298 --> 00:34:11,339
With a tarragon
whipped cream on the side.
783
00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:13,258
- What are you calling them?
- Homecakes.
784
00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:15,343
- Who? Homecakes.
- Homecakes.
785
00:34:15,345 --> 00:34:17,471
Didn't you start
calling them cupcakes?
786
00:34:17,514 --> 00:34:20,682
Did they become homecakes
as they lost their leveantation?
787
00:34:20,726 --> 00:34:22,350
No. They-- they are a play
788
00:34:22,394 --> 00:34:24,352
- On my grandmother's recipe--
- well, why did you change
789
00:34:24,396 --> 00:34:25,979
From where you started
to where you ended?
790
00:34:25,981 --> 00:34:27,856
What would you call them?
791
00:34:27,900 --> 00:34:29,399
I just wanted to call them
what they are.
792
00:34:29,443 --> 00:34:31,109
You wanted to call them
what they became?
793
00:34:35,699 --> 00:34:37,532
Gordon: Apples look like a bit
of an afterthought.
794
00:34:37,534 --> 00:34:39,367
Are there apples included
in the batter as well?
795
00:34:39,369 --> 00:34:41,411
No, so, I wanted the apples
to sit on top.
796
00:34:41,455 --> 00:34:44,873
- Gotcha.
- How long did you bake
the homecakes for, please?
797
00:34:44,917 --> 00:34:46,541
For about 20 minutes.
798
00:34:46,585 --> 00:34:48,460
And is that the texture
you wanted in the middle?
799
00:34:48,462 --> 00:34:50,796
Yeah, so that they could
soak up that sauce.
800
00:34:50,798 --> 00:34:51,922
I didn't want them
to be too soft
801
00:34:51,965 --> 00:34:53,173
And get a little mushy.
802
00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:01,348
Um, so, there's an issue,
I think, with the ratio
803
00:35:01,391 --> 00:35:03,350
Of how you weighed out
those ingredients.
804
00:35:03,393 --> 00:35:06,645
And the recipe doesn't seem
like it's on point.
805
00:35:06,647 --> 00:35:09,856
The actual apples caramelized,
yeah, that's the kind of thing
806
00:35:09,900 --> 00:35:11,775
I'd love to see inside
those homecakes.
807
00:35:11,819 --> 00:35:13,652
So, it's missed the mark.
808
00:35:13,695 --> 00:35:16,488
Aarón: You kept talking
about the sauce being
soaked into them.
809
00:35:16,532 --> 00:35:19,407
You'd need a bowl of that stuff
to make these have moisture.
810
00:35:19,451 --> 00:35:22,494
The cream is the only saving
grace on this whole dish,
811
00:35:22,496 --> 00:35:24,538
And it has nothing
to do with apples.
812
00:35:24,581 --> 00:35:26,248
Just to give you an idea,
these things have, like,
813
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:28,375
The density
and the weight of a rock.
814
00:35:28,418 --> 00:35:32,462
It's a fossil.
Cupcakes, homecakes,
call them what you want.
815
00:35:32,464 --> 00:35:34,464
- They're no good.
- I respect that.
816
00:35:34,508 --> 00:35:36,424
- Gordon: Thanks, richie.
- Thank you.
817
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:38,552
So intense.
818
00:35:38,554 --> 00:35:41,096
All right, richie rich.
819
00:35:45,185 --> 00:35:48,186
Okay, the next dish
we need to investigate,
820
00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:51,189
From the midwest,
821
00:35:51,233 --> 00:35:52,774
Please come forward...
822
00:35:52,776 --> 00:35:54,693
- Charles.
- You're all right.
823
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:56,361
- You got it, buddy.
- Charles.
824
00:35:56,405 --> 00:35:57,821
Charles: To hear that I am in the bottom three
825
00:35:57,865 --> 00:35:59,239
Is very disappointing.
826
00:35:59,241 --> 00:36:00,991
I didn't know
that it was wrong for me
827
00:36:01,034 --> 00:36:03,451
To put raw white wine
in my dish.
828
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:06,538
But I must own up to it and learn from my mistakes.
829
00:36:06,582 --> 00:36:11,668
Today, I made a pan-seared
red snapper with apple
and potato scales
830
00:36:11,712 --> 00:36:14,379
And a white wine applesauce.
831
00:36:14,423 --> 00:36:16,965
And then I put some jalapenos
in there for color.
832
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,342
This looks all kind of wrong,
all right?
833
00:36:19,386 --> 00:36:22,470
The idea of white wine,
apple, and jalapeno,
834
00:36:22,556 --> 00:36:25,974
And then you just told me
jalapeno is for color.
835
00:36:26,018 --> 00:36:28,435
- Think about how that sounds.
- Right.
836
00:36:28,478 --> 00:36:31,730
More than that, the only place
for unrendered white wine
837
00:36:31,773 --> 00:36:34,941
Is in your glass while
you're drinking and cooking.
838
00:36:34,985 --> 00:36:37,444
This is like the basics.
839
00:36:37,487 --> 00:36:39,613
These are the mistakes
that when you come
840
00:36:39,656 --> 00:36:42,699
And present yourself
at "masterchef," you can't make.
841
00:36:52,628 --> 00:36:55,795
Charles, these are
the mistakes that when you come
842
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:58,840
And present yourself at
"masterchef," you can't make.
843
00:36:58,842 --> 00:37:02,052
- Gotcha.
- Gordon: Shall we?
844
00:37:11,396 --> 00:37:12,938
Here's the good news,
the fish is cooked beautifully.
845
00:37:12,981 --> 00:37:15,357
But the purée does not work.
846
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,609
It's a shame, 'cause you've
got the technical flair,
847
00:37:17,611 --> 00:37:21,238
- But you just didn't
execute it properly.
- Thank you, chef.
848
00:37:21,281 --> 00:37:23,240
It's almost like a tale
of two dishes,
849
00:37:23,242 --> 00:37:26,785
Because the potato-crusted fish
is actually quite good.
850
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:30,029
But you committed some
major errors in technique,
851
00:37:30,031 --> 00:37:31,957
And the basic principles
and rules of cooking.
852
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,209
- Thanks.
- Both: Thank you, charles.
853
00:37:34,253 --> 00:37:37,128
- Let's go, charles.
- You're all right, charles.
854
00:37:39,341 --> 00:37:40,882
So, the final dish
that we need to see more of,
855
00:37:40,884 --> 00:37:44,761
From the west, comes from a cook
who definitely had confidence,
856
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:49,683
But seemed more concerned with
adding an abundance of apples
than cooking their protein.
857
00:37:49,726 --> 00:37:53,186
Please come forward, lizzie.
858
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:54,896
- Love you, lizzie.
- All right, lizzie.
859
00:37:54,898 --> 00:37:56,398
Go, lizzie.
860
00:37:59,945 --> 00:38:01,820
Aarón:
Lizzie, can you please
describe your dish?
861
00:38:01,863 --> 00:38:03,780
Lizzie:
I made pan-seared scallops
862
00:38:03,824 --> 00:38:06,533
And a green apple
and celery root purée
863
00:38:06,576 --> 00:38:09,369
With a crabapple salad
and a sweet apple chutney.
864
00:38:09,371 --> 00:38:11,663
Visually, it doesn't look right.
The scallops are hammered.
865
00:38:11,707 --> 00:38:13,331
They're just way too severe.
866
00:38:13,375 --> 00:38:15,583
- Yeah.
- I hope that's
a nervous smile,
867
00:38:15,585 --> 00:38:18,336
'cause you made a lot
of mistakes here, lizzie.
868
00:38:18,380 --> 00:38:20,797
Let's get in there, shall we?
869
00:38:20,841 --> 00:38:24,467
So, you can see right there,
you've absolutely
cremated the scallops.
870
00:38:29,516 --> 00:38:31,266
The actual apple purée
tastes good.
871
00:38:31,351 --> 00:38:33,226
It's just the composition
of the dish,
872
00:38:33,228 --> 00:38:35,553
- It's just way off.
- Yes, chef.
873
00:38:35,564 --> 00:38:38,231
Yeah, and lizzie,
don't get enamored with
too many techniques.
874
00:38:38,275 --> 00:38:40,525
- You gotta get
the basics right.
- Yes.
875
00:38:40,569 --> 00:38:42,944
Actually, the purée,
the bacon, and a little bit
of that scallop
876
00:38:42,946 --> 00:38:44,696
That's not overcooked
is a pleasant bite.
877
00:38:44,698 --> 00:38:45,864
Thank you.
878
00:38:45,907 --> 00:38:48,366
At this point,
the level is so high,
879
00:38:48,410 --> 00:38:50,201
I want to have food
that's thought out,
880
00:38:50,245 --> 00:38:52,329
I want to have food that
has a narrative.
881
00:38:52,372 --> 00:38:55,498
- Give me some thought
behind the dish.
- Mm-hmm.
882
00:38:56,877 --> 00:38:58,460
- Thank you, lizzie.
- Thank you.
883
00:39:02,799 --> 00:39:05,800
Right, so,
richie, charles, lizzie,
give us a moment, please.
884
00:39:05,802 --> 00:39:08,720
'cause right now we've
got a very difficult
decision to make.
885
00:39:08,764 --> 00:39:09,846
Excuse us.
886
00:39:09,848 --> 00:39:12,891
( sighs )
887
00:39:12,934 --> 00:39:16,186
So, um, richie's.
888
00:39:16,271 --> 00:39:17,604
I'd prefer he'd owned it
in a way that,
889
00:39:17,647 --> 00:39:20,482
"look, I didn't pivot.
I got the batter wrong."
890
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:23,818
- Aarón: Yeah.
- The only thing that worse than
his dish is his lying to us.
891
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:26,196
- I hate being lied to.
- So, lizzie.
892
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,365
It was a pleasant bite
once you got it all together.
893
00:39:28,367 --> 00:39:30,325
Fennel, apple, scallops.
Great choice.
894
00:39:30,369 --> 00:39:32,410
Yeah, the scallops
were just overcooked.
895
00:39:32,454 --> 00:39:34,287
Aarón:
And then, of course,
charles, I mean,
896
00:39:34,289 --> 00:39:36,373
There was fundamental issues
from the jump.
897
00:39:36,416 --> 00:39:39,334
But the one thing that saved him
is he cooked that fish well.
898
00:39:39,378 --> 00:39:41,961
Beautifully done.
The big question is
who did the worst job
899
00:39:41,963 --> 00:39:43,421
Celebrating the apple tonight?
900
00:39:43,465 --> 00:39:46,174
This is so crazy.
901
00:39:46,218 --> 00:39:48,385
- We agreed?
- Yeah.
902
00:39:48,428 --> 00:39:50,095
You both got this.
903
00:39:54,810 --> 00:39:57,644
Richie, charles, and lizzie,
904
00:39:57,646 --> 00:40:00,021
Sadly, you cooked
the worst dishes across
your regions tonight.
905
00:40:00,065 --> 00:40:04,192
And one of you just
cooked for the last time
inside the masterchef kitchen.
906
00:40:04,236 --> 00:40:06,528
After discussing
everyone's dishes,
907
00:40:06,571 --> 00:40:09,239
The home cook
that will be leaving
908
00:40:09,241 --> 00:40:11,741
The masterchef kitchen
tonight is...
909
00:40:14,579 --> 00:40:16,538
Richie.
910
00:40:16,581 --> 00:40:18,998
Charles, lizzie,
say good-bye to richie.
911
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,084
Head back
to your stations, please.
912
00:40:23,797 --> 00:40:25,964
It's okay. It's okay.
913
00:40:25,966 --> 00:40:28,633
- Walk with me. Walk with me.
- I love you, man.
914
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:32,262
Richie, uh, tonight was a bit
of a mess, young man.
915
00:40:32,347 --> 00:40:35,390
You missed the mark,
and whilst you tried
916
00:40:35,475 --> 00:40:39,686
To pay homage to grandma,
the dish was just
917
00:40:39,688 --> 00:40:42,605
- Nowhere near
masterchef standards.
- I understand.
918
00:40:42,607 --> 00:40:44,482
Right, young man,
come on and say good-bye.
919
00:40:44,484 --> 00:40:46,860
- Come on. An absolute pleasure.
- Thank you for everything.
920
00:40:46,903 --> 00:40:48,236
- Good luck, bud.
- I'm not done cooking.
921
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,363
- Please continue.
- I love you guys.
922
00:40:50,365 --> 00:40:51,823
- Good luck to you, my friend.
- Thank you so much, guys.
923
00:40:51,867 --> 00:40:53,366
It was an honor.
Absolute honor.
924
00:40:53,368 --> 00:40:54,784
Richie: I know that I messed up today,
925
00:40:54,819 --> 00:40:56,995
But I'm super proud of
the things that I've done.
926
00:40:56,997 --> 00:40:58,997
This has been
the craziest experience.
927
00:40:58,999 --> 00:41:00,957
When I first came to the masterchef kitchen,
928
00:41:01,001 --> 00:41:02,459
I was overly confident.
929
00:41:02,544 --> 00:41:04,210
And being thrown in that kitchen,
930
00:41:04,254 --> 00:41:05,837
You find out very,
very quickly
931
00:41:05,839 --> 00:41:06,880
What your weaknesses are.
932
00:41:06,923 --> 00:41:08,798
So it's just motivation for me.
933
00:41:08,842 --> 00:41:10,884
Time for me
to go back home, study up,
934
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:12,385
And become a better chef.
935
00:41:12,429 --> 00:41:14,220
- Rock the northeast for me.
- Love you, richie.
936
00:41:14,222 --> 00:41:16,723
- Love you, richie!
- Bye, richie.
937
00:41:16,725 --> 00:41:20,560
( applause )
938
00:41:23,857 --> 00:41:26,691
Gordon:
Next time on "masterchef"...
939
00:41:26,735 --> 00:41:29,819
- Oh!
- ...The first team challenge of the season
940
00:41:29,863 --> 00:41:32,405
Kicks off with a bang.
941
00:41:32,449 --> 00:41:34,240
Today, all of you
will cook for firefighters.
942
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:38,369
And, you, jennifer,
will decide which regions
are teaming up.
943
00:41:38,413 --> 00:41:39,954
I want to pair up
with the midwest.
944
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:41,998
Do you think that's
a good decision?
945
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,791
We're two people down,
so we gotta communicate.
946
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:45,376
- Here they come, guys.
- How long? Tell me how long?
947
00:41:45,462 --> 00:41:47,420
- Two minutes.
- We don't have two minutes.
948
00:41:47,464 --> 00:41:49,214
- Everything cooked
to your liking?
- It's completely raw.
949
00:41:49,216 --> 00:41:50,715
That's terrible.
I want them done perfectly.
950
00:41:50,759 --> 00:41:52,383
- Okay.
- Raw new york strip.
951
00:41:52,427 --> 00:41:53,760
- We're out of potatoes.
- We're gonna burn 'em.
952
00:41:53,803 --> 00:41:56,095
How is this still happening?
This is the first time
953
00:41:56,139 --> 00:41:58,264
We've never served
an entire dining room.
954
00:41:58,308 --> 00:42:01,017
- This is embarrassing.
- I want to die.
