1
00:00:00,869 --> 00:00:03,139
Previously on
"MasterChef,"
2
00:00:03,139 --> 00:00:04,910
it was the first mystery box
of the season.
3
00:00:04,910 --> 00:00:07,314
Apples!
Kyle, you get to pick
4
00:00:07,314 --> 00:00:11,089
- what region cooks
sweet or savory.
- I'm powerful.
5
00:00:11,089 --> 00:00:13,226
Dessert's definitely not
in my wheelhouse.
6
00:00:13,226 --> 00:00:15,264
Did you put salt
instead of sugar on them?
7
00:00:15,264 --> 00:00:19,005
- I've got my bags packed.
- I made an apple spice cake.
8
00:00:19,005 --> 00:00:21,009
The cake's delicious.
Congratulations, Jennifer.
9
00:00:21,009 --> 00:00:22,913
- Oh.
- Oh, my--
10
00:00:22,913 --> 00:00:25,384
- I owe Jennifer one.
- You'd definitely be the one
going home tonight.
11
00:00:25,384 --> 00:00:28,056
I made apple spice homecakes.
12
00:00:28,056 --> 00:00:30,427
These things have the density
of a rock.
13
00:00:30,427 --> 00:00:33,266
-
You've cremated the scallops.
- This is wrong.
14
00:00:33,266 --> 00:00:36,774
The home cook leaving the
MasterChef kitchen is Richie.
15
00:00:38,945 --> 00:00:41,416
- Tonight...
- Oh!
16
00:00:41,416 --> 00:00:45,290
...the first team challenge
of the season kicks off
with a bang.
17
00:00:45,290 --> 00:00:47,596
Today all of you will cook
for firefighters.
18
00:00:47,596 --> 00:00:52,004
And you, Jennifer,
will decide which regions
are teaming up.
19
00:00:52,004 --> 00:00:53,240
We want to pair up
with the Midwest.
20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,676
Do you think that's
a good decision?
21
00:00:54,676 --> 00:00:57,381
We're two people down,
so we gotta communicate.
22
00:00:57,381 --> 00:00:59,151
- Here they come, guys.
- How long? Tell me how long.
23
00:00:59,151 --> 00:01:00,254
- Two minutes.
- We don't have two minutes.
24
00:01:00,254 --> 00:01:01,824
Everything cooked
to your liking?
25
00:01:01,824 --> 00:01:03,226
- It's completely raw.
-That's terrible.
26
00:01:03,226 --> 00:01:04,863
- I want them done perfectly.
- Okay.
27
00:01:04,863 --> 00:01:06,767
-Raw New York strip.
- We're out of potatoes.
28
00:01:06,767 --> 00:01:09,005
- We're gonna burn 'em.
-How is this
still happening?
29
00:01:09,005 --> 00:01:11,442
This is the first time
we've never served
an entire dining room.
30
00:01:11,442 --> 00:01:15,384
- This is embarrassing.
- I want to die.
31
00:01:37,461 --> 00:01:41,269
- I see firefighters.
- All right.
32
00:01:41,269 --> 00:01:44,075
Well, Kyle, I think I know
who we're cooking for today.
33
00:01:44,075 --> 00:01:46,880
- Yeah!
-I am excited to be
34
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,452
outside the MasterChef kitchen
because it's a beautiful day.
35
00:01:49,452 --> 00:01:52,057
But typically when
you leave the kitchen
36
00:01:52,057 --> 00:01:53,995
it's some sort
of team challenge.
37
00:01:53,995 --> 00:01:56,299
So I think we're all
just very curious
38
00:01:56,299 --> 00:01:57,602
about what's gonna happen next.
39
00:01:59,005 --> 00:02:00,207
I wanna see something on fire.
40
00:02:00,207 --> 00:02:01,510
- That would be awesome.
- Right?
41
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,021
- Damn! That's crazy!
42
00:02:07,021 --> 00:02:09,325
Yes! Fire!
43
00:02:11,396 --> 00:02:13,601
Oh, my God! We on "911."
44
00:02:15,037 --> 00:02:17,676
What is happening?
This is fantastic.
45
00:02:17,676 --> 00:02:21,482
- Oh, my God!
- Oh!
46
00:02:21,482 --> 00:02:24,188
- Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God.
47
00:02:26,326 --> 00:02:29,198
- Wow. There's more.
48
00:02:29,198 --> 00:02:31,369
We need somebody
to put this fire out.
49
00:02:31,369 --> 00:02:33,941
- Fire truck coming.
50
00:02:33,941 --> 00:02:35,310
We got two of 'em!
51
00:02:36,279 --> 00:02:39,418
- Yeah, let's go!
- Whoo!
52
00:02:39,418 --> 00:02:41,155
Oh, oh, oh! Here it goes!
53
00:02:41,155 --> 00:02:43,561
- Yeah!
- Let's go, let's go!
54
00:02:43,561 --> 00:02:46,299
- Whoo!
- I know. That's hot.
55
00:02:46,299 --> 00:02:49,071
- Yeah, it's hot.
- Whoo!
56
00:02:49,071 --> 00:02:51,275
You put that fire out, baby!
57
00:02:51,275 --> 00:02:53,013
Oh, this is, like,
my ultimate dream come true.
58
00:02:53,013 --> 00:02:54,516
Aah! Holy crap!
59
00:02:54,516 --> 00:02:56,920
Yes!
60
00:02:56,920 --> 00:02:58,390
I love firefighters.
61
00:02:58,390 --> 00:03:00,160
That was some
Michael Bay (bleep).
62
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,398
- Definitely.
- That was so cool!
63
00:03:02,398 --> 00:03:05,003
- Whoo!
- There it is!
64
00:03:05,003 --> 00:03:06,740
- You guys rock!
- Thank you!
65
00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:09,178
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah!
66
00:03:11,784 --> 00:03:14,121
Yeah!
67
00:03:14,121 --> 00:03:15,490
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
68
00:03:15,490 --> 00:03:19,265
- All right!
69
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:22,237
- Whoa!
- Ooh-whee!
70
00:03:22,237 --> 00:03:25,143
- Looking smooth, Chef.
- Whoo!
71
00:03:25,143 --> 00:03:27,047
Welcome, all of you,
to your very first
72
00:03:27,047 --> 00:03:30,287
"MasterChef: United Tastes
Of America" field challenge.
73
00:03:34,128 --> 00:03:35,464
This is Ventura County
Fire Academy,
74
00:03:35,464 --> 00:03:38,069
the premiere
fire training center
75
00:03:38,069 --> 00:03:39,472
for all of Southern California.
76
00:03:39,472 --> 00:03:41,510
-Wow.
- Awesome.
77
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:45,016
And what you've just seen is
an incredible training exercise
78
00:03:45,016 --> 00:03:49,358
that these men and women do
on a daily basis
to keep us all safe.
79
00:03:49,358 --> 00:03:51,395
- That is so dope!
- Respect.
80
00:03:51,395 --> 00:03:54,569
So today, all of you
will cook a phenomenal lunch
81
00:03:54,569 --> 00:03:59,145
for 101 firefighters
and other emergency personnel.
82
00:03:59,145 --> 00:04:00,615
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
83
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:03,621
You will be cooking in two teams
with two regions per team.
84
00:04:03,621 --> 00:04:08,363
- Yes!
- The winning team will be safe
from elimination today.
85
00:04:08,363 --> 00:04:12,304
But if you're on
the losing team,
you could be going home.
86
00:04:12,304 --> 00:04:16,078
- We gotta do this, South.
- Now, Jennifer, you won
our last challenge,
87
00:04:16,078 --> 00:04:18,383
so you are safe
from elimination,
88
00:04:18,383 --> 00:04:21,222
and you've also got
a big advantage today.
89
00:04:21,222 --> 00:04:24,395
We need to make two teams,
and you, Jennifer,
90
00:04:24,395 --> 00:04:29,271
will decide which regions
are teaming up.
91
00:04:29,271 --> 00:04:32,010
- Got it.
- Jennifer, huddle up
with the South
92
00:04:32,010 --> 00:04:36,486
and decide which other region
you will be teaming up with.
93
00:04:36,486 --> 00:04:38,557
Okay, come on, bring it in.
What do you think?
94
00:04:38,557 --> 00:04:40,661
- The Northeast.
- I say Midwest.
95
00:04:40,661 --> 00:04:43,133
The Northeast has some
very talented cooks.
96
00:04:43,133 --> 00:04:46,640
You have Nina,
who has been in the top four
of the competition.
97
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,677
You have Ryan,
who's so good on a grill.
98
00:04:48,677 --> 00:04:51,550
The West has James,
who was in the top four.
99
00:04:51,550 --> 00:04:53,621
They have Kennedy, who's also
been in the top four.
100
00:04:53,621 --> 00:04:55,390
I think the Midwest
is the strongest
101
00:04:55,390 --> 00:04:57,494
and we could put
both juggernauts together.
102
00:04:57,494 --> 00:04:59,966
And the Midwest
still has five people left,
103
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:03,541
with heavy hitters on the grill
like Grant and Kyle.
104
00:05:03,541 --> 00:05:05,343
- Everybody, stand behind me.
- Yes, ma'am.
105
00:05:05,343 --> 00:05:07,515
This is a very
difficult decision
106
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:09,653
because someone could
get eliminated today.
107
00:05:09,653 --> 00:05:12,559
So there's a lot here at stake.
108
00:05:12,559 --> 00:05:14,529
Right, Jennifer, decision time.
109
00:05:14,529 --> 00:05:16,533
We want to pair up
with the Midwest.
110
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:19,238
We know that they have strength
when it comes to the grill,
111
00:05:19,238 --> 00:05:20,675
and so I feel like
together as a team
112
00:05:20,675 --> 00:05:23,179
we're going to win
this challenge.
113
00:05:23,179 --> 00:05:24,549
Here we go.
114
00:05:24,549 --> 00:05:26,720
South and Midwest,
you guys are the red team.
115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,724
- Thank you, Aarón.
- Here you go.
116
00:05:28,724 --> 00:05:33,166
Which means
the West and the Northeast
are the blue team.
117
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:34,703
Jennifer gave herself
the upper hand.
118
00:05:34,703 --> 00:05:37,274
The red team
is fully stacked.
119
00:05:37,274 --> 00:05:40,113
They have ten cooks,
very strong cooks.
120
00:05:40,113 --> 00:05:42,552
The blue team,
we're down to eight,
121
00:05:42,552 --> 00:05:45,190
so I'm a little nervous
about that dynamic today.
122
00:05:45,190 --> 00:05:47,996
So now we need
some team captains.
123
00:05:47,996 --> 00:05:52,304
Deciding to be a team captain is
an extremely strategic decision.
124
00:05:52,304 --> 00:05:55,511
You could carry
your team to victory
125
00:05:55,511 --> 00:05:58,617
or you could go down
in flames.
126
00:05:58,617 --> 00:06:00,487
- Talk it out. Let's go.
- Circle up.
127
00:06:00,487 --> 00:06:02,759
Hey, guys, I'd like to lead,
if that's okay with you all.
128
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:04,763
- You got it.
- It's gotta be Brynn.
129
00:06:04,763 --> 00:06:07,167
Yeah, it has to be Brynn.
The most vocal.
130
00:06:07,167 --> 00:06:09,138
- Yeah.
- Go, red!
131
00:06:09,138 --> 00:06:10,708
Yep. All right. Whoo!
132
00:06:10,708 --> 00:06:13,581
Reagan, tell me who you've
nominated as a captain and why.
133
00:06:13,581 --> 00:06:17,087
It was unanimous.
We want Jennifer to lead us.
134
00:06:17,087 --> 00:06:20,227
She is a mom of six people.
She can definitely do this.
135
00:06:20,227 --> 00:06:22,732
- Yes.
- Lizzie, captain is who
and why?
136
00:06:22,732 --> 00:06:25,571
The captain is Brynn.
She has a voice.
137
00:06:25,571 --> 00:06:29,111
She's not afraid to call us out.
I'm excited she's the captain.
138
00:06:29,111 --> 00:06:33,052
Love that.
Jennifer, why step up to be
the captain today?
139
00:06:33,052 --> 00:06:36,425
I manage a busy household,
so I'm wanna take
that leadership skill
140
00:06:36,425 --> 00:06:38,797
and apply it to the team.
I'm ready to go.
141
00:06:38,797 --> 00:06:42,639
Love that.
Brynn, these esteemed guests
want something stunning.
142
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:44,208
Can you deliver that
from the blue team?
143
00:06:44,208 --> 00:06:45,945
I can do that.
I can keep standards up.
144
00:06:45,945 --> 00:06:47,982
We just need to give 'em
the best we've got,
145
00:06:47,982 --> 00:06:49,653
and I think we're all invested
in doing that.
146
00:06:49,653 --> 00:06:52,659
Okay, you will have 75 minutes
147
00:06:52,659 --> 00:06:55,397
to cook before
our guests arrive.
148
00:06:55,397 --> 00:06:58,002
We wanna make sure that
everything is cooked to
the MasterChef standard,
149
00:06:58,002 --> 00:07:02,177
so we wanna see a sample plate
in about half an hour.
150
00:07:02,177 --> 00:07:06,553
- We can do this.
- Best of luck.
Your time starts now.
151
00:07:06,553 --> 00:07:08,958
- Off you go.
- These are not
my running boots.
152
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:15,403
- Yeah!
- Let's go, guys!
153
00:07:15,403 --> 00:07:17,407
- Let's go! Come on, red!
- Go, red!
154
00:07:17,407 --> 00:07:19,178
- Let's go, red!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
155
00:07:19,178 --> 00:07:23,052
Okay, guys, a few group norms.
One, don't talk over each other.
156
00:07:23,052 --> 00:07:25,558
Two, let's be respectful.
I want everyone to shine.
157
00:07:25,558 --> 00:07:27,394
I want everyone
to voice your opinions.
158
00:07:27,394 --> 00:07:28,998
- What are we thinking?
- Bacon potatoes.
159
00:07:28,998 --> 00:07:31,435
Coming from Iowa,
I gotta put pork in there.
160
00:07:31,435 --> 00:07:32,805
- New York!
- New York strip.
161
00:07:32,805 --> 00:07:35,443
- We gotta do steaks.
- All right, so raise your hand
162
00:07:35,443 --> 00:07:37,682
if we're good with
the New York steak. Got it.
163
00:07:37,682 --> 00:07:39,519
- Good.
- Let's do it. Let's do it.
164
00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:43,527
We have a lot of big
personalities in the South
and in the Midwest.
165
00:07:43,527 --> 00:07:45,463
I'm thinking red wine
balsamic reduction,
166
00:07:45,463 --> 00:07:47,334
garlic, shallots,
stuff like that for the steak.
167
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:50,708
I actually think
there's room for a bright,
acidic chimichurri.
168
00:07:50,708 --> 00:07:53,346
- Let's make it a garlic
white wine sauce.
- No.
169
00:07:53,346 --> 00:07:56,185
It's red meat.
You can't have white wine
with a steak, yeah.
170
00:07:56,185 --> 00:07:58,791
But I want everyone to feel
like they're being heard.
171
00:07:58,791 --> 00:08:00,661
Who cooks a really good potato?
172
00:08:00,661 --> 00:08:02,164
I'm really, really good at
doing mashed potatoes.
173
00:08:02,164 --> 00:08:04,101
I don't know though.
Do we need you on the grill?
174
00:08:04,101 --> 00:08:06,105
If you want me on the grill,
I can be on the grill.
175
00:08:06,105 --> 00:08:07,709
We got some good grillers
in the house though.
176
00:08:07,709 --> 00:08:09,646
We got Kendal, we got Kyle.
177
00:08:09,646 --> 00:08:11,783
I just hope they can come
together and follow my lead.
178
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:15,256
Okay, everyone, we win together,
we fail together.
179
00:08:15,256 --> 00:08:19,666
So if you need someone else
on your job, tell it like
it is in the South.
180
00:08:19,666 --> 00:08:22,170
You holler,
and I'll be coming!
181
00:08:22,170 --> 00:08:24,542
All right,
we're looking at proteins.
What are we thinking, guys?
182
00:08:24,542 --> 00:08:26,379
If I know anything
about the South,
183
00:08:26,379 --> 00:08:27,849
they're gonna stick
to potatoes and steak.
184
00:08:27,849 --> 00:08:29,552
They're gonna stick
to the basics.
185
00:08:29,552 --> 00:08:31,255
We don't need nothing basic.
186
00:08:31,255 --> 00:08:33,092
These are the firemen, so let's
give them something hearty.
187
00:08:33,092 --> 00:08:34,328
- Pork chop.
- Pork chop. You wanna do that?
188
00:08:34,328 --> 00:08:37,134
I think that's great for flavor,
and that's what you're here for.
189
00:08:37,134 --> 00:08:39,639
Since we're doing
a firefighter challenge,
we should really bring the heat.
190
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,512
We should do a corn poblano
and a black-eyed pea salad.
191
00:08:42,512 --> 00:08:44,381
So we do need
one more vegetable.
192
00:08:44,381 --> 00:08:48,356
- Let's look at the cabbage.
- I mean, a slaw
is just a go-to.
193
00:08:48,356 --> 00:08:49,926
We have a lot
of flavor happening.
194
00:08:49,926 --> 00:08:51,763
- We have eight people.
- Facts.
195
00:08:51,763 --> 00:08:53,700
We're picking too many things.
196
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:55,604
We gotta have a simpler plate,
and we gotta nail it.
197
00:08:55,604 --> 00:08:58,877
Listen, the biggest thing--
we're two people down,
so we gotta communicate.
198
00:08:58,877 --> 00:09:01,750
- Sometimes less is more,
you feel me?
- Exactly.
199
00:09:01,750 --> 00:09:05,591
- Are we in?
- Let's go, blue team.
200
00:09:05,591 --> 00:09:06,760
- Go!
- Go, blue team!
201
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,866
- Go red!
202
00:09:09,866 --> 00:09:11,770
We're just taking
this whole thing.
Is that okay?
203
00:09:11,770 --> 00:09:14,609
- Yeah.
- I'm gonna start peeling
avocados for you.
204
00:09:14,609 --> 00:09:16,947
So, Kolby, biggest thing
on these potatoes
205
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:19,184
is that you have several pots
going at once, okay?
206
00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:21,523
- Right, yes.
- Listen, first big challenge.
207
00:09:21,523 --> 00:09:22,959
- Yep.
- They're not in the comfort
208
00:09:22,959 --> 00:09:25,196
of the beautiful
MasterChef kitchen.
209
00:09:25,196 --> 00:09:28,369
- The wind is blowing bad.
- They've never done
anything like this,
210
00:09:28,369 --> 00:09:30,140
cooking for 101 firefighters.
211
00:09:30,140 --> 00:09:32,712
I think this is our chance
to really see them in action,
212
00:09:32,712 --> 00:09:33,914
see who can really talk the talk
213
00:09:33,914 --> 00:09:35,718
and who can really
walk the walk.
214
00:09:35,718 --> 00:09:38,423
Hey, guys, go bigger
than you think on our portions!
215
00:09:38,423 --> 00:09:41,362
Let's talk about
Jennifer's position and the fact
that she had the immunity pin.
216
00:09:41,362 --> 00:09:44,234
She's also the captain,
so irrespective of what
the outcome is today,
217
00:09:44,234 --> 00:09:46,673
- she's not going home.
- I was really surprised
218
00:09:46,673 --> 00:09:48,677
that she nominated herself
to be captain of the team.
219
00:09:48,677 --> 00:09:50,681
Honestly,
I think she really wants to gain
220
00:09:50,681 --> 00:09:52,652
another advantage
in the next challenge.
221
00:09:52,652 --> 00:09:54,188
Yeah, that might be her tactic.
222
00:09:54,188 --> 00:09:57,795
Let's go, red! Let's go!
223
00:09:57,795 --> 00:10:00,233
Hey, MD, let's try and keep
it light on the rosemary.
224
00:10:00,233 --> 00:10:02,370
I think it's a good flavor, but
I don't want it to overpower.
225
00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:04,976
-I agree.
-So, blue team,
are we surprised
226
00:10:04,976 --> 00:10:06,713
with the choice of Brynn
as a captain?
227
00:10:06,713 --> 00:10:09,652
I think Brynn is one
of the most creative cooks.
228
00:10:09,652 --> 00:10:13,259
- I think she's fearless.
-Brynn is a person who has
spent time in restaurants,
229
00:10:13,259 --> 00:10:14,896
in both the front
and the back of the house.
230
00:10:14,896 --> 00:10:16,867
I think that gives her
a bit of an advantage today.
231
00:10:16,867 --> 00:10:20,541
- Brynn, you're
so smart and talented.
- Stop, stop.
232
00:10:20,541 --> 00:10:22,678
- I love you guys.
-She's got a smaller
crew to run.
233
00:10:22,678 --> 00:10:24,716
I'm looking at this
challenge now,
234
00:10:24,716 --> 00:10:26,553
I'm thinking maybe I'd rather
have eight than ten.
235
00:10:26,553 --> 00:10:28,757
I'd rather
have a smaller brigade
and more powerful cooks.
236
00:10:28,757 --> 00:10:31,730
It's not about staying
in your lane today.
It's about owning your lane.
237
00:10:31,730 --> 00:10:33,299
I'd rather have
a bigger brigade.
238
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:35,838
If someone goes down,
you have somebody watching
239
00:10:35,838 --> 00:10:38,442
- that can potentially step in.
-How we doing, team?
240
00:10:38,442 --> 00:10:40,714
We're doing good.
We're doing good.
About to stretch the bread.
241
00:10:40,714 --> 00:10:43,954
I'm about to put our first pot
of potatoes boiling.
242
00:10:43,954 --> 00:10:47,260
- These pork chops are gonna
take a while to cook.
- Okay.
243
00:10:47,260 --> 00:10:48,964
So then we gonna have
to start getting them on.
244
00:10:48,964 --> 00:10:51,001
Yeah, I'm taking the rest
out of the fridge.
245
00:10:51,001 --> 00:10:53,005
Captain or no captain,
we know in this challenge
246
00:10:53,005 --> 00:10:55,009
that the grillmaster drives
the pace, right?
247
00:10:55,009 --> 00:10:56,913
Yeah, they've got
these amazing grills,
248
00:10:56,913 --> 00:11:00,554
and these things are absolutely
up to 450, 500 degrees.
249
00:11:00,554 --> 00:11:03,326
You're talking about
a massive six-foot grill
250
00:11:03,326 --> 00:11:05,564
which you have to season,
caramelize, cook,
251
00:11:05,564 --> 00:11:08,570
and then the big thing is
you have to hold
these to temperature
252
00:11:08,570 --> 00:11:12,578
and serve them while
they're still hot and flavorful.
Very difficult.
253
00:11:12,578 --> 00:11:14,849
Hot, hot. Reagan hot.
Whoo! That wind!
254
00:11:14,849 --> 00:11:19,592
The wind, you know,
is absolutely gonna make that
so much more intense.
255
00:11:19,592 --> 00:11:23,634
They can't control the wind,
they can't control
the power of that grill.
256
00:11:23,634 --> 00:11:25,270
- Absolutely.
- Yep.
257
00:11:25,270 --> 00:11:27,942
I cook outside all the time,
but I live in the woods.
258
00:11:27,942 --> 00:11:30,480
So to be in an open space
like this
259
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,783
with this amount of wind
260
00:11:31,783 --> 00:11:33,052
is not something
I was ready for.
261
00:11:33,052 --> 00:11:35,023
Right now I'm thinking
35 minutes.
262
00:11:35,023 --> 00:11:36,826
- Per--
- Yeah, these
things are thick.
263
00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:38,730
If we go lower than that,
we're gonna burn 'em.
264
00:11:38,730 --> 00:11:40,668
The heat on
that Argentinean grill,
265
00:11:40,668 --> 00:11:42,070
you can't really
slow-cook them
266
00:11:42,070 --> 00:11:43,774
the way you want to
without burning.
267
00:11:43,774 --> 00:11:45,511
You gotta cook those through.
268
00:11:45,511 --> 00:11:46,846
They're about
four inches thick,
269
00:11:46,846 --> 00:11:49,351
and pork is something
that you cannot be under.
270
00:11:49,351 --> 00:11:52,792
You don't have the ability
to serve rare pork
like you do with steak.
271
00:11:52,792 --> 00:11:55,363
So it's definitely something
to be worried about.
272
00:11:55,363 --> 00:11:57,535
We're checking every pork chop
that comes out of here
273
00:11:57,535 --> 00:11:59,171
- with that probe.
- Yeah, definitely.
274
00:11:59,171 --> 00:12:00,674
Every single one.
275
00:12:00,674 --> 00:12:03,614
Is it is light-years easier
to cook 100 steaks
276
00:12:03,614 --> 00:12:05,784
than 100 pork chops
at this thickness.
277
00:12:05,784 --> 00:12:08,924
Red team, blue team,
wanna see those example dishes
in 15 minutes from now.
278
00:12:08,924 --> 00:12:14,034
I'm starting to think
going with the pork chops
might be a huge mistake.
279
00:12:23,620 --> 00:12:26,893
Red team, blue team,
wanna see those example dishes
in 15 minutes from now.
280
00:12:26,893 --> 00:12:30,701
15. Let's go. Guys,
let's get in there, shall we?
281
00:12:30,701 --> 00:12:32,872
-Let's go.
- Let's go.
282
00:12:33,941 --> 00:12:36,846
Blue team, Brynn,
give me an insight.
283
00:12:36,846 --> 00:12:39,719
- What are we doing?
- We are doing pork chops.
284
00:12:39,719 --> 00:12:44,161
For our sides,
we are doing black-eyed peas
with roasted poblano and corn.
285
00:12:44,161 --> 00:12:48,402
-Good.
- And then we are doing a crispy
slaw with apple celery
286
00:12:48,402 --> 00:12:49,872
and red cabbage
so there's something a little
fresh on the plate.
287
00:12:49,872 --> 00:12:51,108
-Love that.
- And then we're doing
288
00:12:51,108 --> 00:12:53,045
a cornbread
with a little honey on top.
289
00:12:53,045 --> 00:12:55,083
Gotcha, and then the sauce,
how are we gonna
lift this thing?
290
00:12:55,083 --> 00:12:57,020
- What are we doing with that?
- It's an avocado crema sauce.
291
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:59,124
We're getting a lot of heat
on the pork chops,
292
00:12:59,124 --> 00:13:00,995
so we something a little bright
and refreshing to go on it.
293
00:13:00,995 --> 00:13:02,932
Smart. How are
we gonna divide this?
294
00:13:02,932 --> 00:13:04,101
Because there's eight of you
in this blue team.
295
00:13:04,101 --> 00:13:05,136
- Right.
- Who's on the grills?
296
00:13:05,136 --> 00:13:07,340
Well, I have Ryan and James.
297
00:13:07,340 --> 00:13:08,877
And then probably Nina.
298
00:13:08,877 --> 00:13:10,981
She also is fantastic
with cooking with fire.
299
00:13:10,981 --> 00:13:13,085
We're gonna have MD and Lizzie
with me up here
300
00:13:13,085 --> 00:13:16,893
plating and wiping,
and probably have Purvi
helping me grab stuff
301
00:13:16,893 --> 00:13:19,431
- from the back if they need it.
- Yeah. Um, 101 protein.
302
00:13:19,431 --> 00:13:21,703
- Yep. Yeah.
- Tall order, yeah?
Super easy to dry out.
303
00:13:21,703 --> 00:13:24,609
Super easy to undercook.
So just make sure that you got
the timing set on that.
304
00:13:24,609 --> 00:13:27,615
Every 10 or 15 minutes,
check in, make sure everyone's
on the same page.
305
00:13:27,615 --> 00:13:29,919
- Yeah, thank you so much.
- Thank you.
306
00:13:29,919 --> 00:13:31,488
What's going on
with this pork here?
307
00:13:31,488 --> 00:13:33,092
I'm seasoning it and moving
over to tray to temp.
308
00:13:33,092 --> 00:13:35,163
Just sat in the sun
like that, not smart.
309
00:13:35,163 --> 00:13:37,167
If you're gonna season them,
get them in the fridge.
310
00:13:37,167 --> 00:13:39,071
- Yes, Chef.
- Okay, so yeah.
311
00:13:39,071 --> 00:13:40,641
Yes, Chef.
They're taking a little longer
312
00:13:40,641 --> 00:13:42,477
than a half hour
to cook right now, so--
313
00:13:42,477 --> 00:13:44,615
- Just be smart with
each other, please, yes?
- Appreciate that.
314
00:13:44,615 --> 00:13:46,485
Aarón: Jennifer, talk to us
a little bit about the dish.
315
00:13:46,485 --> 00:13:48,089
- Come on, we need some intel.
- Absolutely.
316
00:13:48,089 --> 00:13:50,026
We are doing a New York strip.
317
00:13:50,026 --> 00:13:52,063
We've got a chimichurri
that will pair with that.
318
00:13:52,063 --> 00:13:54,167
We've got creamy
beautiful potatoes.
319
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:56,840
And then we have
a roasted carrot with
a beautiful glaze.
320
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,643
Jennifer, how is this steak
supposed to be cooked?
321
00:13:58,643 --> 00:14:00,146
- We're gonna do medium rare.
- Yep.
322
00:14:00,146 --> 00:14:02,117
- And you're gonna
let it rest, right?
- Yes.
323
00:14:02,117 --> 00:14:03,787
- Remember that.
- Thank you. Thank you, Chef.
324
00:14:03,787 --> 00:14:05,289
- We're there. Appreciate it.
- All right.
325
00:14:05,289 --> 00:14:06,893
Ooh-la-la.
326
00:14:08,429 --> 00:14:10,567
Yeah, it is muy caliente.
327
00:14:10,567 --> 00:14:12,470
Aarón: So here's the deal.
You guys are from the South.
328
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:14,107
- I'm expecting big flavors.
- Yes, sir.
329
00:14:14,107 --> 00:14:17,113
No offense on the Midwest,
but we got the seasoning
330
00:14:17,113 --> 00:14:19,719
- down in the South, right?
- Yes, Chef.
331
00:14:19,719 --> 00:14:21,523
I think you're really
going to enjoy it.
332
00:14:21,523 --> 00:14:24,227
Well, that's being bold,
and I like that. Thank you.
333
00:14:24,227 --> 00:14:27,233
- Let's go, Mid-Southwest.
334
00:14:27,233 --> 00:14:28,704
Okay, we're getting ready
to taste, guys.
335
00:14:28,704 --> 00:14:30,073
Right here.
336
00:14:30,073 --> 00:14:31,776
Bring the components
of this dish together.
337
00:14:31,776 --> 00:14:34,114
Gentlemen, do you have
a pork chop that I can have?
338
00:14:34,114 --> 00:14:36,753
I can take it off now.
It's not gonna be fully cooked.
339
00:14:36,753 --> 00:14:38,489
Well, how long
till it's fully cooked?
340
00:14:38,489 --> 00:14:40,761
So just 45 minutes until
those diners come in.
341
00:14:40,761 --> 00:14:43,499
Blue team, they've gone down
the beautiful pork chop route.
342
00:14:43,499 --> 00:14:46,271
- Aarón: Nice.
-Ryan only has
one pork chop on now.
343
00:14:46,271 --> 00:14:48,844
What's gonna be like
when he's got 40 on?
344
00:14:48,844 --> 00:14:50,881
- Exactly.
- We're good, Brynn.
345
00:14:50,881 --> 00:14:52,885
- You're good? You're sure?
- I'm at 150.
346
00:14:52,885 --> 00:14:55,891
- Okay, yeah.
- More salt, right?
347
00:14:55,891 --> 00:14:58,028
- More salt and pepper.
- More pepper, okay?
348
00:14:58,028 --> 00:15:00,500
So the red team
has this New York strip steak
349
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:02,605
with mashed potatoes
and a chimichurri.
350
00:15:02,605 --> 00:15:05,544
But mashed potatoes?
Did you expect mashed potatoes
in this today?
351
00:15:05,544 --> 00:15:06,980
They're definitely going
more the traditional route.
352
00:15:06,980 --> 00:15:08,115
We'll see if it comes together.
353
00:15:08,115 --> 00:15:11,088
Do me one swoop. Okay.
354
00:15:12,992 --> 00:15:14,962
Shall we, guys?
355
00:15:14,962 --> 00:15:17,200
Blue team! Brynn, please.
356
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,237
So just give us a description
of the dish, please.
357
00:15:19,237 --> 00:15:21,876
Sure. So we have
an ancho-rubbed pork chop
358
00:15:21,876 --> 00:15:25,016
with an avocado crema,
a citrus slaw,
359
00:15:25,016 --> 00:15:29,157
black-eyed pea
and roasted corn salad,
and then a cornbread muffin.
360
00:15:29,157 --> 00:15:31,195
-Ryan cooked this?
- Ryan did cook this.
361
00:15:31,195 --> 00:15:33,299
-This pork chop's
over-seared.
- Heard.
362
00:15:33,299 --> 00:15:35,136
Slightly burned.
What was the temperature
that was cooked to?
363
00:15:35,136 --> 00:15:37,273
He said 150.
I think we could go
a little less.
364
00:15:37,273 --> 00:15:40,313
It's all in the resting.
Get it to 140. Let it rest
10, 15 minutes.
365
00:15:40,313 --> 00:15:43,285
The crema's a great idea,
but sitting underneath and it
just goes into this sort of...
366
00:15:43,285 --> 00:15:45,289
I know. But I also
don't wanna put it on top
367
00:15:45,289 --> 00:15:47,193
- and have it melt
all over everything.
- Listen to me.
368
00:15:47,193 --> 00:15:49,799
Just slow down and
listen. I'm trying to help you.
369
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:51,135
- Sure.
- Just go on the side.
370
00:15:51,135 --> 00:15:53,339
That felt sloppy to me,
but I'm happy to do that.
371
00:15:53,339 --> 00:15:55,611
Into the bottle,
pipe on the side,
and it stays there on its own.
372
00:15:55,611 --> 00:15:57,180
Aarón: And I don't think
it's gonna look sloppy, Brynn.
373
00:15:57,180 --> 00:15:58,482
- Not at all.
- Okay, heard.
374
00:16:01,054 --> 00:16:04,729
This pork chop,
in my opinion, is a bit dry and
overcooked already for me.
375
00:16:04,729 --> 00:16:06,966
- Okay.
-Yeah, I think this
dish has great potential.
376
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:08,603
I think the crema's
a great idea.
377
00:16:08,603 --> 00:16:11,543
It lightens up the richness.
Black-eyed peas, delicious.
378
00:16:11,543 --> 00:16:13,312
Slaw nice. A little bit
finer on the cut.
379
00:16:13,312 --> 00:16:15,449
It just needs to come together.
It just feels a bit fragmented.
380
00:16:15,449 --> 00:16:16,920
- Okay.
- Yeah?
381
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,523
Ryan really has your destiny
in his hands.
382
00:16:18,523 --> 00:16:20,293
Cooking this pork chop is
gonna be very, very difficult.
383
00:16:20,293 --> 00:16:22,163
- So you might wanna
really watch that.
-Okay.
384
00:16:22,163 --> 00:16:23,733
It's got the makings
of a good dish.
385
00:16:23,733 --> 00:16:26,338
Get your team together
and dictate what you need.
386
00:16:26,338 --> 00:16:28,877
Okay? You're the captain.
Prove it, yes?
387
00:16:28,877 --> 00:16:30,948
- Thank you so much, Chefs.
- Good luck.
388
00:16:30,948 --> 00:16:32,016
The pork chop
I'm definitely worried about.
389
00:16:32,016 --> 00:16:33,352
The cook hasn't come out right.
390
00:16:33,352 --> 00:16:35,022
You know this one
was a little charred?
391
00:16:35,022 --> 00:16:36,960
It needs to come off
about ten degrees earlier.
392
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,397
- Okay. Perfect.
- So that it's resting, 'cause
this was too overdone.
393
00:16:39,397 --> 00:16:42,905
- So, pull 140. Okay, got it.
- I would pull at 130, 135.
394
00:16:42,905 --> 00:16:45,878
Everything else is okay.
I need to work on some
plating issues a little bit.
395
00:16:45,878 --> 00:16:50,119
The crema, we love.
We're gonna get it in a piping
bag or squeeze bottles
396
00:16:50,119 --> 00:16:52,023
- and just hit it on
the side at the end.
- Okay.
397
00:16:52,023 --> 00:16:53,927
We're gonna find you
a mandoline.
398
00:16:53,927 --> 00:16:55,797
Everything was delicious.
They just want the cut
to be more professional.
399
00:16:55,797 --> 00:16:59,004
All manageable.
Everybody else had it
under control.
400
00:16:59,004 --> 00:17:01,876
- Fantastic.
-Let's go, South!
401
00:17:01,876 --> 00:17:04,314
Let's go, "Mid-rest!"
Let's go, red!
402
00:17:04,314 --> 00:17:06,619
I heard how hard it was for you
to say, "Let's go, Midwest,"
403
00:17:06,619 --> 00:17:09,057
and I appreciate you getting
that out of your mouth.
404
00:17:09,057 --> 00:17:10,861
Oh, no,
we are all team red today!
405
00:17:10,861 --> 00:17:12,798
Okay, Jennifer.
Two dishes. Smart.
406
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:16,606
- One sliced and one not sliced.
-Slicing that for 101?
407
00:17:16,606 --> 00:17:18,710
- That's 750 slices. Forget it.
-Yes. Yes.
408
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:20,881
So just give us a description
of the dish, please.
409
00:17:20,881 --> 00:17:22,283
So we have
a New York strip.
410
00:17:22,283 --> 00:17:24,154
We have a chimichurri sauce
on the side.
411
00:17:24,154 --> 00:17:25,423
We have glazed carrots.
412
00:17:25,423 --> 00:17:28,295
We have a creamy Yukon Gold
mashed potato
413
00:17:28,295 --> 00:17:30,433
along with a compound butter.
414
00:17:30,433 --> 00:17:33,673
-A smear of
mashed potato, you know...
-Yeah.
415
00:17:33,673 --> 00:17:35,877
...for a firefighter?
You're over-finessing it
416
00:17:35,877 --> 00:17:37,146
as opposed to
the rustic charm.
417
00:17:37,146 --> 00:17:38,617
The cook on the steak
is beautiful,
418
00:17:38,617 --> 00:17:41,388
but the mash, it just looks
lumpy as anything.
419
00:17:41,388 --> 00:17:43,158
This mash is not only lumpy.
It's raw.
420
00:17:43,158 --> 00:17:45,731
Who is responsible
for the raw potatoes?
421
00:17:45,731 --> 00:17:48,168
Grant is on the potatoes.
It was a very quick turnaround.
422
00:17:48,168 --> 00:17:50,707
No, no. Look, look, look.
So, it's not a quick turnaround.
423
00:17:50,707 --> 00:17:53,212
That's 44 minutes.
The mashed potato's undercooked.
424
00:17:53,212 --> 00:17:54,715
So you have to be real
with your team.
425
00:17:54,715 --> 00:17:56,719
- Don't blow smoke up their ass.
- Absolutely.
426
00:17:56,719 --> 00:17:58,355
Serving you undercooked mashed
potatoes is not good enough.
427
00:17:58,355 --> 00:18:00,226
- Absolutely. Yes, Chef.
- Okay.
428
00:18:00,226 --> 00:18:02,330
- The mashed potatoes
are shocking.
- Aarón: Yeah.
429
00:18:02,330 --> 00:18:04,835
I have to say, Jennifer,
just between you,
430
00:18:04,835 --> 00:18:06,706
it's disconcerting
that you would even serve us
the mashed potatoes.
431
00:18:06,706 --> 00:18:08,910
- You didn't taste them?
- No, no, I tasted
the mashed potatoes.
432
00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:10,346
And you didn't think
they were raw?
433
00:18:10,346 --> 00:18:12,083
Yes, I knew that they
were not perfect, Chef.
434
00:18:12,083 --> 00:18:13,887
And you still decided
to serve them to us?
435
00:18:13,887 --> 00:18:16,358
- I wanted to give you--
- You think that's
a good decision?
436
00:18:16,358 --> 00:18:20,499
- It looks like it wasn't.
- Oh, my gosh.
437
00:18:32,357 --> 00:18:34,762
The mashed potatoes
are shocking.
438
00:18:34,762 --> 00:18:36,064
Serving undercooked
mashed potatoes
is not good enough, okay?
439
00:18:36,064 --> 00:18:37,500
- Absolutely. Yes, Chef.
- Aarón: Yeah.
440
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:39,270
- Zero seasoning.
- You didn't taste them?
441
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:41,208
Yes, I knew that
they were not perfect.
442
00:18:41,208 --> 00:18:42,410
And you still decided
to serve them to us?
443
00:18:42,410 --> 00:18:43,479
I wanted to give you
a full picture--
444
00:18:43,479 --> 00:18:45,082
You think that's
a good decision?
445
00:18:45,082 --> 00:18:46,719
- It looks like it wasn't.
-No.
446
00:18:46,719 --> 00:18:48,523
You don't put a smear
of undercooked mashed potatoes
447
00:18:48,523 --> 00:18:50,259
on the table.
You know this stuff,
448
00:18:50,259 --> 00:18:51,863
- but that's substandard.
- Okay.
449
00:18:51,863 --> 00:18:54,434
Half the amount of chimichurri
and you're good, okay?
450
00:18:54,434 --> 00:18:56,371
Have a meeting
with your team.
Be straight with them.
451
00:18:56,371 --> 00:18:58,275
- Do that now. Thank you.
- Yes. I will take care of this.
452
00:18:58,275 --> 00:19:00,212
- Great cook on the steak.
- Thank you for your feedback.
453
00:19:00,212 --> 00:19:03,252
Everybody, pause!
Team meeting.
454
00:19:03,252 --> 00:19:05,323
Grant, the potatoes
were undercooked.
455
00:19:05,323 --> 00:19:07,327
They have to be
absolute perfection.
456
00:19:07,327 --> 00:19:10,132
- They need to be
smoother, okay?
- I hear ya.
457
00:19:10,132 --> 00:19:12,036
The fact that these potatoes
are the worst part
458
00:19:12,036 --> 00:19:13,540
of the dish right now
just pisses me off.
459
00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:16,211
- We have to
get this right, okay?
- Yes, ma'am.
460
00:19:16,211 --> 00:19:18,048
I don't wanna use the elements
as an excuse,
461
00:19:18,048 --> 00:19:19,552
but these winds
are howling at us,
462
00:19:19,552 --> 00:19:21,923
and I'm not able to get
any water boiling right now.
463
00:19:21,923 --> 00:19:24,361
I haven't had a chance to
get anything up to cooking time.
464
00:19:24,361 --> 00:19:26,833
- Are they cut real tiny?
- They're cut very tiny.
465
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:28,803
If I don't get these potatoes
fixed soon,
466
00:19:28,803 --> 00:19:30,439
I don't know that
the red team's gonna win,
467
00:19:30,439 --> 00:19:32,043
and that's gonna be
all my fault.
468
00:19:32,043 --> 00:19:33,780
Grant? What if we remove
some of that water?
469
00:19:33,780 --> 00:19:35,483
That's what's been trying
to do the whole time, yeah.
470
00:19:35,483 --> 00:19:39,892
Red team, blue team, 15 minutes
until our guests arrive.
471
00:19:41,128 --> 00:19:42,865
Brynn, two bottles
would be good?
472
00:19:42,865 --> 00:19:45,904
- As much as you can.
We have to do 100 plates.
- Okay.
473
00:19:45,904 --> 00:19:48,342
We still got a whole load
of chops we need to salt,
pepper, and oil.
474
00:19:48,342 --> 00:19:52,050
So, blue team, I thought
Ryan would know how to nail
those pork chops, but--
475
00:19:52,050 --> 00:19:54,387
He has all these probes
in the pork chops
476
00:19:54,387 --> 00:19:58,930
as he's not even confident
about touching the meat
and understanding the cook.
477
00:19:58,930 --> 00:20:00,834
-
You don't probe every steak.
- Never.
478
00:20:00,834 --> 00:20:02,403
You probe one, you touch it,
you see how it feels,
479
00:20:02,403 --> 00:20:04,007
then you know the other ones
feel the same.
480
00:20:04,007 --> 00:20:05,176
You know the temperature
they're at.
481
00:20:05,176 --> 00:20:06,813
- So, the red team,
482
00:20:06,813 --> 00:20:09,785
cook on the steak was great.
Hats off to Kyle.
483
00:20:09,785 --> 00:20:11,354
- Great job. Great job.
- We got this. We got this.
484
00:20:11,354 --> 00:20:13,459
Great job, team!
Great job, red!
485
00:20:13,459 --> 00:20:16,799
I think Grant did a major
disservice to his whole team
486
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,503
by putting up mashed potatoes
that were raw.
487
00:20:18,503 --> 00:20:20,272
That's a no-no. You just say,
488
00:20:20,272 --> 00:20:21,909
"I don't have 'em yet.
They're not done yet."
489
00:20:21,909 --> 00:20:24,314
I'm gonna try to do it shallow.
Try to get this up to heat,
490
00:20:24,314 --> 00:20:26,552
- and just get as many
potatoes in as I can.
- Okay.
491
00:20:26,552 --> 00:20:28,590
All right, friends,
how's the bread looking?
492
00:20:28,590 --> 00:20:30,594
Good job.
Sarah deserves the credit.
493
00:20:30,594 --> 00:20:33,165
- Good job, friend!
- Whoo!
494
00:20:33,165 --> 00:20:34,467
Jennifer's a good figurehead,
495
00:20:34,467 --> 00:20:36,004
and I think she represents
the dish well,
496
00:20:36,004 --> 00:20:38,108
but I think she's not holding
each person accountable.
497
00:20:38,108 --> 00:20:40,312
But also Jennifer's accepting
their standards, not hers.
498
00:20:40,312 --> 00:20:42,985
- And I think she wants
to be everyone's friend.
- Yeah, that's right.
499
00:20:42,985 --> 00:20:44,053
I'd rather have no friends
and win.
500
00:20:44,053 --> 00:20:45,222
- Exactly.
- Absolutely.
501
00:20:45,222 --> 00:20:47,528
- Yeah, red team!
- Let's go, red!
502
00:20:47,528 --> 00:20:50,567
Red team, blue team,
five minutes until
our firefighters arrive!
503
00:21:01,121 --> 00:21:02,356
Here they come, guys.
504
00:21:04,562 --> 00:21:07,233
Guys, here come our guests!
Let's push!
505
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:08,803
Hey!
506
00:21:08,803 --> 00:21:11,074
Fire truck coming through!
507
00:21:13,212 --> 00:21:18,222
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
508
00:21:18,222 --> 00:21:20,961
Let's go, let's go!
How we doing?
509
00:21:20,961 --> 00:21:24,969
Seeing all the firefighters
and their family come through
is a little surreal.
510
00:21:24,969 --> 00:21:28,408
It just gives you an idea
of just how much food
511
00:21:28,408 --> 00:21:30,514
you're about to prepare
in a short amount of time.
512
00:21:30,514 --> 00:21:32,618
Yeah, y'all gonna get full
off of this!
513
00:21:32,618 --> 00:21:34,588
As far as me and James
up on the grill,
514
00:21:34,588 --> 00:21:37,126
I think we'll be okay,
but I'm just worried
515
00:21:37,126 --> 00:21:38,663
about the cook times
on these chops.
516
00:21:38,663 --> 00:21:40,466
Y'all better eat
all this, okay?
517
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:41,936
- Good to see you.
- Thank you so much, guys.
518
00:21:41,936 --> 00:21:43,338
-Likewise. Enjoy.
- Appreciate it.
519
00:21:46,512 --> 00:21:48,917
- I'm gonna taste them
while you do that.
- Please.
520
00:21:48,917 --> 00:21:51,454
- They definitely don't have
enough salt in them yet, so--
- No.
521
00:21:54,427 --> 00:21:56,431
Okay, red team, blue team,
we're starting to serve!
522
00:21:56,431 --> 00:21:59,103
- Let's go, y'all, blue team!
- All right, let's go!
523
00:21:59,103 --> 00:22:01,909
- Let's go!
-Here they come, guys.
Come on, hurry up!
524
00:22:01,909 --> 00:22:04,247
- Red team,
first six, let's go.
- Let's go! Come on!
525
00:22:04,247 --> 00:22:06,418
- I need steaks. I need mash.
- Table one, please. Let's go.
526
00:22:06,418 --> 00:22:08,155
- Six mash. Let's go.
- Right here. Thank you.
527
00:22:08,155 --> 00:22:09,959
Just give me a pan
to put steaks on.
528
00:22:09,959 --> 00:22:12,463
Hey, young man,
you can't shout, "I need a pan!"
529
00:22:12,463 --> 00:22:14,702
- Get the steaks over there.
Come on.
- Here they come.
530
00:22:14,702 --> 00:22:16,238
Y'all got everything y'all need?
531
00:22:16,238 --> 00:22:17,774
Do y'all have everything
y'all need?
532
00:22:20,312 --> 00:22:24,120
Hey, Sarah. Sarah!
Earth to Sarah.
533
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:27,126
- Just touch that.
No, no. Just touch that.
- Yes, you're right.
534
00:22:27,126 --> 00:22:30,499
No, just touch it.
They're firefighters.
They're not (bleep) Eskimos.
535
00:22:30,499 --> 00:22:33,940
- It's ice cold.
Ice cold, okay?
- I'll grab a new one.
536
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:37,013
- Hi, guys. Are you hungry?
- Hello! Yes!
537
00:22:37,013 --> 00:22:38,448
- 30 seconds, please.
- We've been working
our butts off.
538
00:22:38,448 --> 00:22:40,419
Two seconds. Come over here.
Look at me.
539
00:22:40,419 --> 00:22:42,758
They're serving
ice cold carrots, and I'm not
very happy with that, okay?
540
00:22:42,758 --> 00:22:45,129
- So just focus on your job.
- Got ya.
541
00:22:45,129 --> 00:22:48,335
- This cook is a whirlwind.
- Kyle, I know we're cooking
for firefighters,
542
00:22:48,335 --> 00:22:49,572
but don't blow smoke up my ass.
543
00:22:49,572 --> 00:22:51,374
I just want them served
a decent dish.
544
00:22:51,374 --> 00:22:52,711
Yes, Chef!
545
00:22:52,711 --> 00:22:54,648
We have really,
really cold carrots,
546
00:22:54,648 --> 00:22:57,721
and it is truly a spectacle
to be that close
547
00:22:57,721 --> 00:23:00,025
to a very, very upset
Gordon Ramsay.
548
00:23:00,025 --> 00:23:02,363
You got more cooks in here
than firefighters having lunch.
549
00:23:02,363 --> 00:23:03,600
Hot carrots.
550
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,402
Those just came out
of the oven.
551
00:23:05,402 --> 00:23:06,539
That's it.
Thank you, guys.
552
00:23:06,539 --> 00:23:07,541
Sorry about the wait.
553
00:23:07,541 --> 00:23:09,210
We hope you enjoy this.
554
00:23:09,210 --> 00:23:12,283
Thank you so much
for all that you do.
555
00:23:12,283 --> 00:23:14,487
- Welcome.
- Hello, how are you?
556
00:23:14,487 --> 00:23:17,426
- Enjoy.
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
557
00:23:17,426 --> 00:23:20,399
Thank you so much.
These are ancho pork chops.
558
00:23:22,236 --> 00:23:23,405
Aarón: Let's go, guys.
559
00:23:23,405 --> 00:23:25,543
We still have
a lot more people to go.
560
00:23:29,217 --> 00:23:30,720
- Super good.
- Mmm.
561
00:23:31,722 --> 00:23:33,458
Hello, everyone.
Hi, I'm Joe.
562
00:23:33,458 --> 00:23:35,630
Welcome, welcome.
How's the lunch?
563
00:23:36,799 --> 00:23:38,770
- Steak's good.
- Really good.
564
00:23:38,770 --> 00:23:40,607
The pork not cooked all the way.
565
00:23:40,607 --> 00:23:43,378
Oh, you have a raw pork.
Okay, I'll take that back.
566
00:23:43,378 --> 00:23:45,282
Anyone else pork undercooked?
567
00:23:45,282 --> 00:23:48,288
Another one?
Okay, sorry about that.
568
00:23:48,288 --> 00:23:51,361
Brynn, come here, please.
Just touch it.
569
00:23:51,361 --> 00:23:54,467
They should be dropped
on the grill for 90 seconds
before they go onto the plate.
570
00:23:54,467 --> 00:23:56,572
- Yes, Chef.
- Not just stuck in a hot cup.
571
00:23:56,572 --> 00:23:58,175
All right, guys,
we have some raw pork chops.
572
00:23:58,175 --> 00:24:00,680
Like, really raw.
Sent back from the first table.
573
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,651
This one's completely raw,
cold in the middle.
574
00:24:02,651 --> 00:24:04,020
This is a problem, guys.
You gotta fix this.
This one, too.
575
00:24:05,557 --> 00:24:07,728
- Right, look at me.
- We gotta care a bit more.
576
00:24:07,728 --> 00:24:11,802
- That's on me, Chef.
- It's only six at a time!
577
00:24:11,802 --> 00:24:15,242
Six perfect pork chops
at one time!
578
00:24:15,242 --> 00:24:16,712
That's it!
579
00:24:26,264 --> 00:24:28,402
All right, guys,
we have some raw pork chops.
580
00:24:28,402 --> 00:24:30,105
Like, really raw.
Like, cold in the middle.
581
00:24:30,105 --> 00:24:32,109
This is a problem, guys.
You gotta fix this.
This one, too.
582
00:24:32,109 --> 00:24:34,682
That is not good enough.
We gotta care a bit more.
583
00:24:34,682 --> 00:24:36,786
Let's not ruin the first table.
Come on.
584
00:24:36,786 --> 00:24:39,725
I think James and Ryan are
both struggling with the fact
585
00:24:39,725 --> 00:24:41,529
that they are struggling
at all.
586
00:24:41,529 --> 00:24:43,231
This is a much harder
challenge, I think,
587
00:24:43,231 --> 00:24:45,537
given the cut and the conditions
than they were expecting.
588
00:24:45,537 --> 00:24:47,273
James, you're gonna finish
the chops, all right?
589
00:24:47,273 --> 00:24:48,342
All right.
590
00:24:48,342 --> 00:24:49,745
The grill, with all that wind,
591
00:24:49,745 --> 00:24:52,818
it's hard to keep heat direct
in any one area.
592
00:24:52,818 --> 00:24:55,122
We're gonna have to temp.
What are the rest
of these temps at?
593
00:24:55,122 --> 00:24:57,326
- Do you want me to check
the temperature here?
- Yeah.
594
00:24:57,326 --> 00:24:58,863
- Where's the temp thing?
- Right here.
595
00:24:58,863 --> 00:25:01,569
So, now it's all hands on deck
helping to temp
596
00:25:01,569 --> 00:25:02,838
and organize those chops.
597
00:25:02,838 --> 00:25:04,575
I need those as soon
as they are done.
598
00:25:04,575 --> 00:25:06,545
- I need those
in my hands, okay?
- Yeah.
599
00:25:06,545 --> 00:25:08,348
I'm worried about my team
falling apart.
600
00:25:08,348 --> 00:25:10,787
I am worried about
finishing service.
601
00:25:10,787 --> 00:25:13,425
I am worried about getting
one more chop sent back.
602
00:25:13,425 --> 00:25:14,595
Thank you, Chef.
I'll be right back.
603
00:25:14,595 --> 00:25:15,730
Thank you.
I appreciate you.
604
00:25:15,730 --> 00:25:17,333
My apologies, Joe.
Please.
605
00:25:17,333 --> 00:25:18,569
- Thank you, Joe.
- Right, six more, guys.
606
00:25:18,569 --> 00:25:19,905
Six more in my hand.
What do we got?
607
00:25:19,905 --> 00:25:21,909
So, we recooked your pork chops,
608
00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:23,513
and we cut them open this time
609
00:25:23,513 --> 00:25:25,784
to make sure
they're perfectly cooked
610
00:25:25,784 --> 00:25:28,088
to prevent any other errors
from happening.
611
00:25:28,088 --> 00:25:30,159
Enjoy the rest of your meal.
I'll be back. Thank you.
612
00:25:30,159 --> 00:25:32,463
Do you need me to bring
some more potatoes up?
613
00:25:32,463 --> 00:25:34,802
We have enough
for the next service,
and then we're gonna need more.
614
00:25:34,802 --> 00:25:36,471
- We got them in the oven.
We got 'em--
- Awesome, beautiful.
615
00:25:36,471 --> 00:25:38,375
Just stop. I'm just done.
Taste it.
616
00:25:38,375 --> 00:25:41,181
Come on, taste.
It's all lumpy now.
617
00:25:41,181 --> 00:25:43,185
Gordon is on a whole 'nother
level right now.
618
00:25:43,185 --> 00:25:45,155
So we started off with the first
two tables beautifully done.
619
00:25:45,155 --> 00:25:47,359
Now it's like we don't care.
Well, I care.
620
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,199
I'm not trying to hear him,
but I am trying to hear him
at the same time,
621
00:25:50,199 --> 00:25:54,407
because he is
the boss man right now,
and whatever goes, goes.
622
00:25:54,407 --> 00:25:56,277
-
Is that the best you can do?
- No, Chef.
623
00:25:56,277 --> 00:25:57,948
- It's mashed potatoes,
young man, okay?
- Yes, sir.
624
00:25:57,948 --> 00:26:00,520
The mash is now lumpy
and gloopy.
625
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,758
Come on, guys. Fix it, fix it.
626
00:26:02,758 --> 00:26:04,360
You know, I'm pissed.
I know how to make
mashed potatoes.
627
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:06,832
This is not an example of
how I can make mashed potatoes
628
00:26:06,832 --> 00:26:08,235
or how I am as a cook.
629
00:26:08,235 --> 00:26:10,172
Grant. Grant, fix that,
and I need 'em hot.
630
00:26:10,172 --> 00:26:12,343
- One minute.
- We have to start doing--
631
00:26:12,343 --> 00:26:14,848
- Let's just try it.
- So, there's really only
one solution right now
632
00:26:14,848 --> 00:26:16,819
to make a smooth potato
with what we've got,
633
00:26:16,819 --> 00:26:18,790
and that's gonna be doing
a stick blender on it.
634
00:26:18,790 --> 00:26:20,860
Great idea by Kolby.
We're gonna give it a shot.
635
00:26:20,860 --> 00:26:24,467
-Okay,
are we ready for the mash?
- Two minutes.
636
00:26:24,467 --> 00:26:26,705
- No, not two minutes.
We don't have two minutes.
- How much time you need?
637
00:26:26,705 --> 00:26:28,743
- 30 seconds.
- 30 seconds. We got you.
638
00:26:28,743 --> 00:26:30,680
These potatoes, I have
to get 'em done.
639
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,349
I can't go home
because of mashed potatoes.
640
00:26:32,349 --> 00:26:35,690
- I'm taking these guys.
- What about these ones? No.
641
00:26:35,690 --> 00:26:37,928
No, just keep fixing those, please.
642
00:26:37,928 --> 00:26:40,232
- We got it.
- We're ready.
I need those steaks.
643
00:26:40,232 --> 00:26:42,002
And then we're gonna need
six more right after super-fast.
644
00:26:42,002 --> 00:26:43,840
- Right now!
- We gotta catch up.
645
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,844
Thank you.
Sorry about the delay.
646
00:26:45,844 --> 00:26:48,850
- Thank you.
- Six more. Let's go.
647
00:26:48,850 --> 00:26:50,854
Come on, y'all,
let's get organized.
648
00:26:50,854 --> 00:26:53,225
There's too many people
over there. Spread out.
649
00:26:53,225 --> 00:26:56,397
- Ryan! Who's leading the pork?
- I am, Chef.
650
00:26:56,397 --> 00:26:58,201
- You've heard the expression,
"Too many cooks," right?
- Yes, Chef.
651
00:26:58,201 --> 00:27:00,372
One, two, three, four, five.
You're cooking pork now.
652
00:27:00,372 --> 00:27:02,978
- There needs to be a system.
-Yes, Chef.
653
00:27:02,978 --> 00:27:05,282
So the ones that are done,
y'all put those in the warmer?
654
00:27:05,282 --> 00:27:06,919
- Yeah.
-Nothing goes
in the warmer!
655
00:27:06,919 --> 00:27:08,990
They dry out.
They go on the grill
to finish them!
656
00:27:08,990 --> 00:27:11,094
Yes, Chef. Yo, what we doing
with those pork chops?
657
00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:15,035
Okay, listen,
no more pork chops.
No more pork chops.
658
00:27:15,035 --> 00:27:17,273
When he calls six,
then we need to do six.
659
00:27:17,273 --> 00:27:19,377
- Fresh. Two minutes.
-We're good. We're good.
660
00:27:19,377 --> 00:27:23,018
It's really embarrassing
that Gordon has to tell us
what we have to do.
661
00:27:23,018 --> 00:27:24,888
Everybody's poking holes
in pork chops
662
00:27:24,888 --> 00:27:27,594
and letting all the juice
and flavor go out.
663
00:27:27,594 --> 00:27:30,265
Brynn needs to get us together.
664
00:27:30,265 --> 00:27:33,773
Brynn, 30 seconds.
We've served 42 guests,
and there's 20 minutes to go.
665
00:27:33,773 --> 00:27:35,442
- Yes.
- So we need to change gear now.
666
00:27:35,442 --> 00:27:37,279
Just numbers. Understand,
we only got an hour to serve.
667
00:27:37,279 --> 00:27:40,018
We've got 20 minutes to go.
We've served 42 guests.
668
00:27:40,018 --> 00:27:42,991
- Okay. Okay.
- So, we're not even halfway.
669
00:27:45,630 --> 00:27:47,333
I'm excited to eat.
I'm hungry.
670
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:50,640
- Everything's exceptional.
- It really is.
671
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,677
- It is very good.
- Hi, folks.
672
00:27:52,677 --> 00:27:55,750
Welcome to the MasterChef
first field challenge
of the season.
673
00:27:55,750 --> 00:27:57,821
The red team cooked
the New York strip,
674
00:27:57,821 --> 00:27:59,825
and the blue team
cooked the pork chop.
675
00:27:59,825 --> 00:28:03,733
Who prefers the steak from
the red team at this point?
676
00:28:03,733 --> 00:28:06,404
Four. And pork chop? Two.
677
00:28:06,404 --> 00:28:09,545
- Four steaks, two pork chops.
- This is the best
pork chop I've ever had.
678
00:28:09,545 --> 00:28:12,016
- Wow. Enjoy.
-Thank you.
679
00:28:12,016 --> 00:28:13,653
Touch that.
680
00:28:13,653 --> 00:28:15,690
- That does not--
681
00:28:15,690 --> 00:28:18,696
- Not again.
- No, it looks okay.
682
00:28:18,696 --> 00:28:20,132
- Just, just. Let's go.
- It looks okay.
683
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:21,134
Go, go, go, go.
684
00:28:23,806 --> 00:28:26,779
The red team's steak is awesome.
It's really good.
685
00:28:26,779 --> 00:28:28,549
I'm really enjoying
the chimichurri.
686
00:28:28,549 --> 00:28:29,918
You guys like chimichurri?
Awesome.
687
00:28:29,918 --> 00:28:31,755
Then you're gonna love this.
688
00:28:31,755 --> 00:28:33,659
I need hot mashed potatoes,
guys. Let's go.
689
00:28:33,659 --> 00:28:35,930
The potatoes, they've
got really good flavor.
690
00:28:35,930 --> 00:28:37,634
And the carrots,
they got a little kick.
691
00:28:37,634 --> 00:28:39,370
Off we go. Excellent.
692
00:28:39,370 --> 00:28:41,407
- Thank you, sir.
- Thanks for waiting, guys.
693
00:28:41,407 --> 00:28:43,679
- Let's go. Go.
-So everyone
who's tried both,
694
00:28:43,679 --> 00:28:44,982
can I see a show of hands,
695
00:28:44,982 --> 00:28:47,019
who preferred
the red team's steak?
696
00:28:47,019 --> 00:28:49,691
Three. We have a draw.
Three to three.
697
00:28:49,691 --> 00:28:51,795
So, James,
there's no pork in the...
698
00:28:51,795 --> 00:28:54,100
- In the warmer? Nope.
- No. Good.
699
00:28:54,100 --> 00:28:57,339
Ryan, I'm about three minutes
to pass these to you.
700
00:28:57,339 --> 00:28:59,711
All right, I got room for 'em.
I got room for 'em.
701
00:28:59,711 --> 00:29:01,649
All right.
702
00:29:01,649 --> 00:29:02,951
Need those steaks!
703
00:29:02,951 --> 00:29:04,888
Has anyone checked these?
704
00:29:04,888 --> 00:29:07,994
- So, that's raw.
- Jeez. It's not even close.
705
00:29:07,994 --> 00:29:12,604
Red team, come over.
Charles, that's you!
706
00:29:12,604 --> 00:29:16,912
Raw New York strip.
I am lost for words.
707
00:29:16,912 --> 00:29:20,152
- Just touch it. It's ice cold.
- Yes. It's cold. It is cold.
708
00:29:20,152 --> 00:29:23,559
- Ice cold.
- I can't help you on this.
709
00:29:23,559 --> 00:29:25,062
One, two, three, four, five,
710
00:29:25,062 --> 00:29:26,799
six, seven, eight,
nine, ten of you.
711
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:30,573
- Yes. Yes.
- Somebody care! Please?
712
00:29:30,573 --> 00:29:33,478
Oh, my (bleep) God.
713
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,607
Red team, I am lost for words.
714
00:29:47,607 --> 00:29:50,713
- Just touch it. It's ice cold.
- Yes. It's cold. It is cold.
715
00:29:50,713 --> 00:29:53,184
- Ice cold.
- I want to die.
716
00:29:53,184 --> 00:29:56,759
I cannot believe he's cut
into the steak and it's raw.
717
00:29:56,759 --> 00:29:59,430
I put the South
and the Midwest together
718
00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:02,069
'cause these guys are supposed
to be the grillmasters.
719
00:30:02,069 --> 00:30:05,042
I need somebody checking the
doneness before they come to me.
720
00:30:05,042 --> 00:30:07,346
I have never been this stressed.
721
00:30:07,346 --> 00:30:10,085
I know that I have
the immunity pin,
722
00:30:10,085 --> 00:30:12,056
but I don't want
to lose this for my team.
723
00:30:12,056 --> 00:30:15,062
Cooking undercooked steaks?
I'm done.
724
00:30:15,062 --> 00:30:18,034
I'm going to have nightmares
of Chef Gordon yelling at me.
725
00:30:18,034 --> 00:30:20,740
- Kyle, you're checking
them all, right?
726
00:30:20,740 --> 00:30:24,614
- Yes. Yes, chef.
-Blue team,
ten minutes to go, yes?
727
00:30:24,614 --> 00:30:25,917
- Heard!
- Last ten.
728
00:30:25,917 --> 00:30:27,921
Y'all need help on corn,
anything, let me know.
729
00:30:27,921 --> 00:30:29,691
- I got y'all.
- What do we need for James?
730
00:30:29,691 --> 00:30:30,860
What y'all need from me?
731
00:30:30,860 --> 00:30:32,697
You can get six more on,
six more ready.
732
00:30:32,697 --> 00:30:35,235
These needed another
ten degrees on them
before they go to you.
733
00:30:35,235 --> 00:30:37,907
- 15.
- Okay. Me and Ryan
both at the grill.
734
00:30:37,907 --> 00:30:40,780
I'm starting the pork chop,
he cooks the pork chop,
735
00:30:40,780 --> 00:30:42,216
and then I finish
the pork chop.
736
00:30:42,216 --> 00:30:44,788
We finally have a system.
We gotta stick to it.
737
00:30:44,788 --> 00:30:46,859
- There you go.
- Six. Right there. Hot!
738
00:30:46,859 --> 00:30:49,397
Let's go! Another six!
I need 'em.
739
00:30:49,397 --> 00:30:52,469
Stop. Ryan? I'm gonna show you
how to deal-- come here!
740
00:30:52,469 --> 00:30:55,610
- That's a beautiful
caramelization on there.
- Yes, Chef.
741
00:30:55,610 --> 00:30:57,680
- And then you give me
that (bleep) there.
- Yes, Chef.
742
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,450
Things are starting
to fall apart.
743
00:30:59,450 --> 00:31:02,222
This challenge is huge.
I mean, 101 dishes.
744
00:31:02,222 --> 00:31:04,093
More than I've ever
done before.
745
00:31:04,093 --> 00:31:05,763
I'm trying to adjust
on the fly,
746
00:31:05,763 --> 00:31:07,166
but when you're
in the thick of it
747
00:31:07,166 --> 00:31:10,940
and I mean four-inch,
double bone thick of it,
748
00:31:10,940 --> 00:31:13,813
it's definitely tougher
than it looks.
749
00:31:13,813 --> 00:31:14,981
Okay, I want them
done perfectly.
750
00:31:14,981 --> 00:31:16,552
- Understood? Good.
- Yes, Chef.
751
00:31:16,552 --> 00:31:18,956
- That is not good enough.
- I think so too, Chef.
752
00:31:18,956 --> 00:31:20,760
I agree. Get it out of here.
753
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,833
We have ten minutes, and this
is not coming together quick.
754
00:31:23,833 --> 00:31:25,268
We're barely 60 guests in.
755
00:31:25,268 --> 00:31:28,074
I've never not served
a completed lunch ever.
756
00:31:28,074 --> 00:31:30,145
How long for the next six, please?
757
00:31:30,145 --> 00:31:34,921
- I've got one ready to go.
- You've got one? Oh, my God.
758
00:31:34,921 --> 00:31:37,025
Y'all, we have
to ration the potatoes.
We are out.
759
00:31:37,025 --> 00:31:38,829
- Like, done.
- Let's figure something out.
760
00:31:38,829 --> 00:31:41,134
I'm panicking right now
because we literally
761
00:31:41,134 --> 00:31:42,771
ran out of potatoes.
762
00:31:42,771 --> 00:31:44,006
Give me mushrooms.
Give me mushrooms.
763
00:31:44,006 --> 00:31:46,177
Kyle says,
"What about the mushrooms?"
764
00:31:46,177 --> 00:31:48,783
He char grills them.
I get them chopped up
and seasoned.
765
00:31:48,783 --> 00:31:49,985
Just need some salt.
766
00:31:49,985 --> 00:31:51,789
I'm so glad
our team collaborated
767
00:31:51,789 --> 00:31:53,559
and came up
with this backup plan.
768
00:31:53,559 --> 00:31:55,295
It's absolutely better than
putting nothing out there.
769
00:31:55,295 --> 00:31:56,932
I need a lot more
mushrooms, guys.
770
00:31:56,932 --> 00:31:58,501
Let's keep going.
There we go.
771
00:31:58,501 --> 00:31:59,905
Why are the mushrooms
going on now?
772
00:31:59,905 --> 00:32:01,642
Because we ran out
of mashed potatoes,
773
00:32:01,642 --> 00:32:03,879
- and this is replacing
our mashed potatoes.
- So we're pivoting.
774
00:32:03,879 --> 00:32:05,950
How do we run out
of mashed potato?
775
00:32:05,950 --> 00:32:08,254
How is that possible
with ten chefs in the kitchen?
776
00:32:08,254 --> 00:32:10,192
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Thank you.
777
00:32:10,192 --> 00:32:11,762
We've run out of mash.
My apologies.
778
00:32:11,762 --> 00:32:13,264
Thank you. (bleep) hell.
779
00:32:13,264 --> 00:32:15,770
- Thank you. Enjoy.
-Thank you.
780
00:32:15,770 --> 00:32:16,939
- Enjoy.
- Thank y'all so much.
781
00:32:16,939 --> 00:32:18,108
Wait, wait.
No mashed potatoes?
782
00:32:18,108 --> 00:32:19,678
Did they run out?
What happened?
783
00:32:19,678 --> 00:32:21,147
They apparently didn't have any
when we got up there.
784
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:23,118
But you're the only one
who gets to try them?
785
00:32:23,118 --> 00:32:25,255
- I am.
- Oh, jeez.
I'm sorry about that.
786
00:32:27,092 --> 00:32:29,931
The steaks are on.
Okay. Chimichurri.
787
00:32:29,931 --> 00:32:31,702
Everything cooked
to your liking?
788
00:32:31,702 --> 00:32:34,641
I didn't feel
like there was enough flavor
on the steak itself.
789
00:32:34,641 --> 00:32:36,845
- Not enough flavor
on the steak. Okay.
- Yes.
790
00:32:36,845 --> 00:32:39,751
You agree with that?
The red steak's
a little bit bland,
791
00:32:39,751 --> 00:32:41,320
but the pork chop
was seasoned better?
792
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,160
Right seasoning, and also
it's very cooked properly.
793
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:48,301
It's cooked properly.
Early indication, who liked
the pork chop more?
794
00:32:50,105 --> 00:32:52,109
Five for the pork chop,
one for the steak.
795
00:32:52,109 --> 00:32:55,282
Red team, blue team,
only a few tables left.
796
00:32:55,282 --> 00:32:57,887
- Come on! Speed up, please!
- Thank you for your service.
797
00:32:57,887 --> 00:33:00,660
- Thank you so much.
- Aarón: Check the seasoning.
Mix it.
798
00:33:00,660 --> 00:33:03,833
All that dressing
ends up falling to the bottom.
799
00:33:03,833 --> 00:33:05,168
Y'all,
we're running out of time.
800
00:33:05,168 --> 00:33:06,972
Whoo, it's gonna be close.
801
00:33:09,611 --> 00:33:13,184
The red team's steak dish
was completely raw.
802
00:33:13,184 --> 00:33:16,090
The blue team's pork dish,
the flavor was good.
803
00:33:16,090 --> 00:33:18,294
The multiple sides
which were good.
804
00:33:21,735 --> 00:33:24,073
I had to wait a few minutes
for the blue plate,
805
00:33:24,073 --> 00:33:27,212
but good things take time,
so I was willing to wait.
806
00:33:27,212 --> 00:33:28,716
I'm not enjoying
the blue team's pork.
807
00:33:28,716 --> 00:33:31,254
- It's a little dry for me.
- We need carrots!
808
00:33:31,254 --> 00:33:33,291
Okay, red team, last table!
Let's go!
809
00:33:33,291 --> 00:33:35,128
Got fresh carrots?
Thank you. Thank you.
810
00:33:35,128 --> 00:33:37,867
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you, Chef. All right.
811
00:33:37,867 --> 00:33:40,506
Okay, ladies and gentlemen,
once you have finished eating,
812
00:33:40,506 --> 00:33:43,111
please vote for the team
813
00:33:43,111 --> 00:33:46,885
whose dish you enjoyed the most
using these axes.
814
00:33:46,885 --> 00:33:49,390
Thank you very much.
815
00:33:49,390 --> 00:33:51,795
They were both great dishes,
and I enjoyed them both.
816
00:33:51,795 --> 00:33:55,068
I think the pork was a little
bit overdone on the blue team.
817
00:33:55,068 --> 00:33:58,408
I will be voting
for the red team.
818
00:33:58,408 --> 00:34:01,247
Well,
my pork was actually underdone,
which I was surprised about.
819
00:34:01,247 --> 00:34:04,053
So I will be voting
for the red team today.
820
00:34:05,656 --> 00:34:07,192
My apologies for the wait.
I'm so sorry.
821
00:34:07,192 --> 00:34:10,633
Six portions!
Last table, let's go!
822
00:34:10,633 --> 00:34:12,069
Come on, guys.
823
00:34:13,872 --> 00:34:17,179
It's ice cold and it's raw.
824
00:34:17,179 --> 00:34:20,118
We're done! Time is up!
825
00:34:20,118 --> 00:34:22,155
I am so sorry.
We've run out of time,
826
00:34:22,155 --> 00:34:24,426
and the blue team's pork chops
aren't ready for you.
827
00:34:24,426 --> 00:34:27,700
Please go and enjoy
the red team's plates
that you already have.
828
00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:30,272
Blue team, come over.
Your 60 minutes are up,
829
00:34:30,272 --> 00:34:32,442
and it's the first time
in 12 years
830
00:34:32,442 --> 00:34:35,048
that we've never served
an entire dining room.
831
00:34:35,048 --> 00:34:37,452
Your timings today were way off.
832
00:34:37,452 --> 00:34:41,027
You know it, and I know it.
This is embarrassing.
833
00:34:41,027 --> 00:34:42,262
Clear down, please.
834
00:34:42,262 --> 00:34:44,333
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes, Chef.
835
00:34:44,333 --> 00:34:47,005
Who enjoyed
the red team's steak more?
836
00:34:47,005 --> 00:34:51,915
Full house.
I guess the pork chops are
second cut on this table.
837
00:34:51,915 --> 00:34:53,451
- Hey, we finished.
- Whoo!
838
00:34:53,451 --> 00:34:55,088
- We finished.
- Good job, good job.
839
00:34:55,088 --> 00:34:56,424
- Good job, good job!
- We did it.
840
00:34:56,424 --> 00:34:58,261
I liked the red plate
over the blue plate
841
00:34:58,261 --> 00:35:00,967
because I had to wait for
the pork chops for a little bit,
842
00:35:00,967 --> 00:35:04,106
and it's still a little rare.
Bring it in. That was tough.
843
00:35:04,106 --> 00:35:05,442
We learned so much today.
844
00:35:05,442 --> 00:35:08,448
Thank you each of you
for being a team player.
845
00:35:08,448 --> 00:35:12,590
At the end of the day,
the plate was beautiful,
the flavor was there.
846
00:35:14,995 --> 00:35:16,765
- One, two, three.
-Go, red!
847
00:35:16,765 --> 00:35:19,169
- They're cheering
on their side.
- Well, they finished.
848
00:35:21,374 --> 00:35:23,378
- Ain't bad for a Midwesterner.
- Yeah, right?
849
00:35:23,378 --> 00:35:24,714
You're welcome
in the South any time.
850
00:35:28,321 --> 00:35:29,958
I will be voting
for the blue team.
851
00:35:29,958 --> 00:35:31,160
I will be voting
for the red team.
852
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,897
I will be voting
for the blue team.
853
00:35:32,897 --> 00:35:34,366
I will be voting
for team red.
854
00:35:34,366 --> 00:35:36,437
Only the red team
provided a plate for me.
855
00:35:36,437 --> 00:35:39,978
Blue team came up short.
I was kinda disappointed.
856
00:35:39,978 --> 00:35:43,284
I am disappointed,
but it was stacked against us.
857
00:35:43,284 --> 00:35:44,954
They had two extra
hands on deck to finish
858
00:35:44,954 --> 00:35:47,159
what we tried to get done
in the same amount of time,
859
00:35:47,159 --> 00:35:49,363
and I think maybe with
a harder cut of meat.
860
00:35:49,363 --> 00:35:51,367
And we just never
found our flow.
861
00:35:53,104 --> 00:35:54,941
I think it's on me.
I didn't finish the chops,
862
00:35:54,941 --> 00:35:57,547
but it was a great dish,
so we still got a chance.
863
00:35:57,547 --> 00:35:59,784
- A few plates short.
- We didn't feed everybody,
but I'm really happy
864
00:35:59,784 --> 00:36:01,521
with a lot of things
that were on our dish.
865
00:36:01,521 --> 00:36:03,424
Our other components were good.
Those chops were a difficult
866
00:36:03,424 --> 00:36:05,128
- cook and we didn't have--
- But that's our main component.
867
00:36:05,128 --> 00:36:06,464
That was literally
our main component.
868
00:36:06,464 --> 00:36:08,301
So if that's not good,
then it's not good.
869
00:36:08,301 --> 00:36:10,506
Let's just hope the other team
did worse than us.
870
00:36:24,433 --> 00:36:27,072
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you so much, indeed.
871
00:36:27,072 --> 00:36:31,280
Honestly, it's been an absolute
honor to serve the Ventura
County Fire Academy.
872
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,119
We hope you enjoyed your lunch.
873
00:36:36,424 --> 00:36:40,031
Now please give
a huge round of applause
874
00:36:40,031 --> 00:36:42,402
for the blue team
and the red team.
875
00:36:44,339 --> 00:36:46,578
This was absolutely one of
the toughest days I've ever had,
876
00:36:46,578 --> 00:36:49,951
and I've been working in
restaurants as a bartender
877
00:36:49,951 --> 00:36:51,988
for over half my life.
878
00:36:51,988 --> 00:36:55,328
But I'm still hoping
that the guests
who had our food loved it,
879
00:36:55,328 --> 00:36:59,002
and I'm still feeling pretty
good about our chances.
880
00:36:59,002 --> 00:37:02,442
Right, blue team,
red team, well done.
That was a tough ask.
881
00:37:02,442 --> 00:37:06,217
Clearly both teams
felt the heat today.
882
00:37:06,217 --> 00:37:10,593
One of these teams
will be crowned the winner
of today's challenge
883
00:37:10,593 --> 00:37:16,337
and be safe
from elimination today.
884
00:37:16,337 --> 00:37:18,341
Ladies and gentlemen,
you voted.
885
00:37:18,341 --> 00:37:21,313
It's time for
the moment of truth.
886
00:37:21,313 --> 00:37:23,519
The winning team,
887
00:37:23,519 --> 00:37:27,827
the team that will be safe
from elimination today is--
888
00:37:27,827 --> 00:37:32,269
congratulations goes to...
889
00:37:34,072 --> 00:37:35,308
- Ooh.
- Whoa!
890
00:37:35,308 --> 00:37:37,212
- Oh, my goodness.
- Oh, my goodness.
891
00:37:37,212 --> 00:37:38,715
- Whoa.
- What color is that?
892
00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:41,588
I don't know.
893
00:37:41,588 --> 00:37:43,826
- The red team!
894
00:37:43,826 --> 00:37:45,295
Well done!
895
00:37:51,240 --> 00:37:53,478
- Great job.
896
00:37:53,478 --> 00:37:55,381
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Great job.
897
00:37:55,381 --> 00:37:57,553
Victory feels so good right now.
898
00:37:57,553 --> 00:38:00,024
I came here to show
that I can lead,
899
00:38:00,024 --> 00:38:02,462
and under pressure,
I never lost it on my team.
900
00:38:02,462 --> 00:38:05,101
We had two regions
come together
901
00:38:05,101 --> 00:38:07,673
and really work together
beautifully.
902
00:38:07,673 --> 00:38:09,911
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you
so much for joining us today.
903
00:38:09,911 --> 00:38:12,617
An extra special thank you
for all you do
904
00:38:12,617 --> 00:38:14,621
to keep us safe from harm
on a daily basis.
905
00:38:14,621 --> 00:38:16,591
Enjoy the rest
of your afternoon.
Thank you so much.
906
00:38:16,591 --> 00:38:19,531
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
907
00:38:19,531 --> 00:38:21,467
- Thank you all.
- Thank y'all.
908
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:24,106
- Thank you.
- Thank you!
909
00:38:24,106 --> 00:38:25,275
Red team,
let's get one thing clear.
910
00:38:25,275 --> 00:38:28,281
Yes, you won, congratulations.
Learn from those bumps.
911
00:38:28,281 --> 00:38:29,617
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, Chef.
912
00:38:29,617 --> 00:38:33,692
The good news is you're
all safe from elimination.
913
00:38:33,692 --> 00:38:37,065
Jennifer, the good news for you
is that you get
914
00:38:37,065 --> 00:38:40,405
yet another advantage
ahead of the next challenge.
915
00:38:40,405 --> 00:38:43,144
- Congratulations. Well done.
- Thank you.
916
00:38:43,144 --> 00:38:45,716
Now, sadly,
as for the blue team,
917
00:38:45,716 --> 00:38:47,954
the West
and the Northeast region,
918
00:38:47,954 --> 00:38:49,691
honestly, you guys
really missed the mark today.
919
00:38:49,691 --> 00:38:54,534
Brynn, your team did not
even finish service.
920
00:38:54,534 --> 00:38:56,671
Ryan, at the beginning
of the cook,
921
00:38:56,671 --> 00:38:59,577
we got excited when you were
in charge of that grill,
922
00:38:59,577 --> 00:39:01,982
but then it got
the better of you.
923
00:39:01,982 --> 00:39:05,355
James, you were in charge of
those pork chops alongside Ryan.
924
00:39:05,355 --> 00:39:08,529
All three of you,
please step forward.
925
00:39:11,233 --> 00:39:13,404
James, Ryan, and Brynn,
from one of you
926
00:39:13,404 --> 00:39:15,341
the chance of becoming
America's next MasterChef
927
00:39:15,341 --> 00:39:17,647
is about to go up in smoke.
928
00:39:17,647 --> 00:39:19,984
Give us a moment, please.
Excuse us.
929
00:39:19,984 --> 00:39:24,059
- Aarón: What's the protagonist
of this dish? The pork chop.
930
00:39:24,059 --> 00:39:26,163
But it has to start
at the beginning.
Who's controlling this?
931
00:39:26,163 --> 00:39:28,602
Once they'd been turned around,
there were six of them
on the pork chop.
932
00:39:28,602 --> 00:39:30,405
We said it from the beginning.
You're gonna be the leader,
933
00:39:30,405 --> 00:39:31,975
and you're gonna be the captain,
de facto,
934
00:39:31,975 --> 00:39:33,679
you're gonna command the time.
You have to own that.
935
00:39:33,679 --> 00:39:35,983
Even the first table,
you came back with a raw pork.
936
00:39:35,983 --> 00:39:37,987
That was the worst ones.
I think some of the other ones
937
00:39:37,987 --> 00:39:40,726
ultimately were overcooked
and they didn't even know.
938
00:39:40,726 --> 00:39:43,231
For me, who do you look at
as the leader of this?
939
00:39:43,231 --> 00:39:45,168
- You know what I mean?
-Yeah.
940
00:39:45,168 --> 00:39:47,172
I don't deserve to be
on the bottom right now
941
00:39:47,172 --> 00:39:48,542
because I stayed consistent.
942
00:39:48,542 --> 00:39:52,048
I made sure that I got
nice sear on the pork chops.
943
00:39:52,048 --> 00:39:54,621
I feel like the captain
goes down with the ship.
944
00:39:54,621 --> 00:39:56,357
I feel like Brynn
should be going home.
945
00:39:56,357 --> 00:39:58,695
- We got it?
- We in agreeance?
946
00:40:01,735 --> 00:40:06,745
After a difficult conversation,
we've decided...
947
00:40:08,381 --> 00:40:11,453
...the person
going home today is...
948
00:40:19,938 --> 00:40:21,908
Ryan.
949
00:40:24,279 --> 00:40:27,553
Ryan, at the beginning
of this challenge,
950
00:40:27,553 --> 00:40:30,291
you announced yourself
as the leader
951
00:40:30,291 --> 00:40:32,295
in taking control
on that grill.
952
00:40:32,295 --> 00:40:34,366
We didn't see it,
we couldn't feel it,
953
00:40:34,366 --> 00:40:36,370
and our guests today
certainly didn't eat it.
954
00:40:36,370 --> 00:40:40,178
- Brynn, James,
back with your team, please.
- Yes, Chef.
955
00:40:40,178 --> 00:40:42,683
Ryan, you came in like a
whirlwind in this competition.
956
00:40:42,683 --> 00:40:44,988
We fell in love
with the audition,
957
00:40:44,988 --> 00:40:48,629
but today unfortunately
fell somewhat flat.
958
00:40:48,629 --> 00:40:54,072
But I think this competition has
proven that you've got a desire
to continue in this industry,
959
00:40:54,072 --> 00:40:57,580
and fingers crossed you're gonna
continue that trajectory.
960
00:40:57,580 --> 00:40:59,416
Definitely gonna continue, Chef.
961
00:40:59,416 --> 00:41:01,320
Good.
Come and say goodbye, bud.
962
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,625
- Love you, Ryan.
- Love you, Ryan.
963
00:41:03,625 --> 00:41:05,294
You know, it sucks to go home.
It does.
964
00:41:05,294 --> 00:41:06,698
- Good luck, chef.
- All right, thanks.
965
00:41:06,698 --> 00:41:08,635
- Thank you.
- Ryan. Excellent, buddy.
966
00:41:08,635 --> 00:41:10,438
I was finishing the pork chops.
967
00:41:10,438 --> 00:41:13,311
I took the responsibility,
I knew the risk,
968
00:41:13,311 --> 00:41:14,814
and I didn't deliver.
969
00:41:14,814 --> 00:41:17,520
But it's a blessing
to have made it this far
970
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,389
in the competition.
971
00:41:19,389 --> 00:41:21,561
A few years ago
I was in a dark place,
972
00:41:21,561 --> 00:41:23,030
and to be able
to turn that around
973
00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:25,636
and accomplish so much
is awesome.
974
00:41:25,636 --> 00:41:28,074
This is one more step
for my life for the better,
975
00:41:28,074 --> 00:41:30,879
and the future
is definitely bright for me.
976
00:41:33,852 --> 00:41:35,622
Next time on "MasterChef"...
977
00:41:35,622 --> 00:41:37,292
Another mystery box.
978
00:41:37,292 --> 00:41:40,298
...the top 17 face an unusual
mystery box challenge.
979
00:41:40,298 --> 00:41:42,636
There's just one box per region.
980
00:41:42,636 --> 00:41:45,709
- Ooh.
- Jennifer, you get
to choose one region
981
00:41:45,709 --> 00:41:48,815
that will start
ten minutes later.
982
00:41:48,815 --> 00:41:50,853
- Oh, no.
983
00:41:50,853 --> 00:41:53,424
Let's go. Let's go. Lizzie,
come on, you gotta speed up.
984
00:41:53,424 --> 00:41:54,861
I don't think
I've done it before.
985
00:41:54,861 --> 00:41:56,898
- I hope you've
thought this through.
- What is that?
986
00:41:56,898 --> 00:41:58,535
- You played it all wrong.
-That is a shock.
987
00:41:58,535 --> 00:42:00,238
We've decided
it wouldn't be fair
988
00:42:00,238 --> 00:42:03,779
to send only one of
the bottom cooks home tonight.
