Generations"...

You must use beer
in all your dishes.

I don't drink beer.
I don't know what
it tastes like.

Maybe rely on
one of your fellow gen zs.

I can taste it
for you, fatima.

There's no stopping you,
is there?

Adam's en route
to save his entire team,

- So I'm gonna
bring him up here.
- Adam!

Michael just launched
a full attack on gen z.

This looks like a paste
as opposed to a sauce.

So you can see
it's overcooked.

- Fatima, say good-bye.
- Hi, guys.

- I made a pan-seared cod.
- This is close to perfection.

I'm a top dish, finally!
- I made snapper puttanesca.

It's a joy to taste.
Congratulations, rebecka.

No one should underestimate
the boomers.

Tonight on
Generations"...

Welcome to this amazing
rock quarry.

This place is one of
the biggest producers of sand
in the entire country.

I needed some sand
in my diet.

...It's another
explosive team challenge
for the top 13 cooks.

A dainty little salad, guys,
today, is not gonna cut it.

- Is there seasoning on these things?
- - I don't even know.

- Oh, my god.
Horacio,
you are gonna derail us.

Your attitude
is a reality check.

Two need to be on the burgers!
It's raw!

- Yes, sir.
- Welcome to team challenges.

- This is wild.
- Oh, man.

- Where the heck are we today?
- This is so wild.

- Oh, my goodness.
- We're emerging
from the desert!

- Oh, my gosh.
- This honestly feels like

We're on a planet
from star wars.

The wind is going.

I have no idea where we are.

I have no idea
what we're gonna cook.

Oh! I see the flags!

Being team captain
in the last team challenge,

It was stressful,
it was intense.

- Our team lost.
- Whoo!

I needed some sand
in my diet.

And so I'm definitely
a little worried about
another team challenge.

Okay. Here they are.

- Wow, is that joe? Aarón?
- Whoa!

- Hey!
- Yay!

Oh, there they are.

- Hey, what's up, guys?
- Good morning.

- Perfect.
- Are you guys ready
to put in a hard day's work?

- Yes!
- Absolutely.

Dude. What?

- Oh, my god!
- You have to be kidding me.

- I told you!
- Yay!

- Wow.
- Good morning!

- Hello!
- Yeah!

- Oh, man!
- Love that.

Come on, chef!
We're waiting on you.

- I'm so happy, I'm crying.
- Sorry, guys.

- Hey, joe.
- Man.

You like to make a big entrance,
gordon, don't you?

Always, joe.
You know me. Right!

Welcome to this amazing
working rock quarry.

- It's amazing.
- This place is one of the
biggest producers of sand,

Rock, and gravel
in the entire country.

- Oh, wow.
- Now, this is
Generations,"

And this place
is a family business

That's been run
by three generations
of the same family.

- Wow.
- And for your next
field challenge,

We're gonna help celebrate their
incredible 60th anniversary.

- Whoo!
- Yay!

Now, you're gonna
have to cook a hearty lunch

For over 100 hard-working
men and women

- In this beautiful quarry.
- Oh, wow. A hundred.

Guys, think about
who you're feeding today.

Think about what they do
all day here.

They're out in the sun
and the wind,

Under the elements
digging rocks,

Moving rocks,
exploding rocks.

A dainty little salad, guys,
today, is not gonna cut it
in this environment.

Now, listen carefully.

The good news is
that the winning team

Will be safe from elimination.

But, sadly, someone
from the losing team
will be going home.

Now, there's 13 of you left,

And today we want
to switch things up

From the last team challenge.

So, with this season
being all about ages,

Let's try pairing
the youngest with the oldest.

- Oh!
- So, gen z and baby boomers,

- You're gonna be the blue team.
- Very nice!

- Nice.
- So, millennials and gen x,

You guys are gonna be
the red team.

Come up and get your aprons,
please. Let's go.

- Red team.
- Boomers got the reds.

We get paired
with the boomers,

And I'm a little worried
because they have

Some of the slower people
on their team, you know?

They have horacio,
they have warren.

But what we do have going for us
is we have one more person.

You know, I'm gonna
be optimistic.

Let's try to pull out
a w today.

Right, we've got our teams.

But we're missing one thing.
Captains.

And don't forget,
the captain of the wining team

Will get a huge advantage
in the next challenge.

Right, both teams,
take a moment and talk it over

And come back to us
with one prolific captain.

All right,
everybody say it on three.
One, two, three.

- Rebecka!
- All right.

This is the environments
I thrive in.

Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.

I think kamay is trying
to create doubt within myself

About whether or not
I can lead this group.

- But I'm not gonna
fall for that.
- Aye, aye, captain.

- All right.
- I own and run my own
marketing agency,

So I'm very
used to delegating.

And I know it's a huge risk,
taking the captain position.

But I'm very determined
to lead our team to victory.

Blue team. Captain.
Who is it, please?

- We chose rebecka.
- You chose rebecka.

- Red team?
- It's gonna be me today.

- Arthur, wow.
- Wow.

Now, today we've already chosen
the star of your dish.

That's right, one team will have
to make a stunning burger.

The other team,
an incredible, delicious
grilled chicken sandwich.

Now, rebecka,
even though you have
the immunity pin,

You will still be cooking
in the blue team today,

And you get to decide which dish
your team will be cooking.

Over here.
Okay, so this is what
I'm thinking.

- Take the hamburger.
- Well, no, because hamburgers,

If they're not cooked correctly,

They will be punted
across the room.

Okay, so this is
what I'm thinking.

Chicken with, like,
really nice slaw.

- Are you comfortable
with the grill?
- I am okay with the grill.

Protein is such
an important factor
in winning a team challenge.

We have 100 people to feed.

We are dealing
with sideways sandy wind,

So I'm thinking
chicken is the best bet.

I can just see
chef ramsay tossing a burger
across the quarry.

- ...Start. Okay? All right.
- Okay, I feel good about that.

Right, rebecka, obviously
a game-changing decision.

- Yep.
- What are you
and the blue team

Deciding to cook today?

We'll be doing chicken thighs.

- Ooh!
- Wow.

Arthur seems to be pretty happy
with getting the burger.

So do a couple
of the other team members,

But I'm not really happy
about this

Because we have to form
over 100 patties.

Where if you have chicken,
it's already portioned
out for you.

So that means, blue team,

You're making a delicious
chicken sandwich.

- Yep.
- And red team, obviously,

An amazing, delicious burger.

So how you pull those off
is up to you guys.

We want a sandwich, a side,
and a beautiful sauce.

Okay, guys, our guests
will be clocking out

For their lunch break
in just over an hour.

We need to see a sample plate
in about 30 minutes.

So, you need to work fast.

And remember,
somebody from the losing team

Will be eliminated today
inside this quarry.

- Right, you guys ready?
- Yes, chef!

Good, because your time
starts now!

- Go, go, go, go, go.
- Let's go.

Blue team coming!
Blue team coming!

- Come on, guys. Come on.
- Coming.

- I'm in.
- Red team!

- Let's go, red team.
- Go, go, go!

- We are the "zoombers!"
- the zoomers!

All right, captain,
let's pass out notebooks.

All right, we got
the chicken sandwich.

What type of flavors
do you want to put on?

- Asian style.
- Asian, cajun.

We are in california.
This is all about
mexican spices.

I like a nice--

Southwestern flavor.

We're gonna do a dry rub
on the chicken.

- Oh, I don't think
it's a good idea.
- Wait, wait, wait.

- The dry one--
- my concern is burned sugar
on your chicken.

So let's maybe give them
a really good adobo sauce.
Right? Wouldn't that be great?

- I agree.
- Maybe we could do,
like, a corn salsa.

Let's talk about our side dish.

- What if we did,
like, a mac salad?
- Yeah, that would be nice. Yep.

So, warren and horacio,
you guys are gonna be
doing the chicken.

Murt and hallie,
you're gonna work on
the corn salsa.

- Got it.
- Becca, macaroni salad.

And then at the pass,
I'm gonna need becca,
adam, and hallie.

- Perfect.
- Got it.

- Okay, burger,
what do you guys think?
- Let's do swiss.

- Let's do swiss?
All right, I love that.
- Are we doing bacon?

Yeah, we can throw
some bacon on there.
That's a good idea.

- Really crispy bacon, guys.
- And we're cooking the bacon
in the oven, correct?

- Bacon's gotta go in the oven.
- Yeah.

- How about the sauce?
- What about a barbecue sauce?

- Barbecue and swiss, though?
- Yeah.

- Chipotle?
- Chipotle.

- Let's do a chipotle aioli.
- I think a good side,

We gotta have
a traditional coleslaw.

- Oh.
- That sounds good.

They would love that.
Who feels comfortable making
the chipotle aioli?

- I'll do the chipotle aioli.
- I think daniela's got that.

- You do the chipotle aioli?
- I'll start on the bacon.

Jeet and I can work
on the slaw together.
You wanna do that together?

- Yeah, let's do that.
- I'll get started working on
making those burgers.

- All right, let's go!
- Okay, let's go. Let's go.

- Okay, guys, you ready?
I think we got this.
- Yes!

- Zoomers, on three.
- "zoombers!"

- Let's go!
- Red team!

All right, let's cut
as much corn as possible,
and let's put it in a bowl.

All right, guys,
everybody's okay?
You got your things figured out?

- You know what you're doing?
- Yep.

All right, keep going.
Taste everything.

- Wow, what an amazing setting.
- This is extreme.

It's hot, it's windy,
it's dusty.

Yeah, I love it.
- This is one of the most
difficult cooks

- So far in this competition.
- Here are you bun options.

- They're large hawaiian.
- Brioche.

Brioche? You're sure? Okay.

- We gonna toast both sides?
- Yes.

So, red team, we've got
the millennials and gen x.

It's an interesting combination,
this one, right?

'90s and the 2000s

Are their big cultural
reference point.

- It should be pretty unified.
- Chef?

- Yes.
- Brioche is not sliced.

- Hawaiian might be pre-sliced.
- Slice the brioche.

- Slicing 100?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'll help you with that.

You don't have time
to help, chef.

And I'm glad that the captain
of the red team has stepped up.

- Yeah.
- Arthur, he runs and owns
his own marketing agency.

And so it's about time he
started using that experience.

Remember that arthur
and the red team did not pick
the hamburger.

I think it's a gift.

If there's one thing
these workers would love
to devour after their shift,

A burger will go down
way better, I think, than
a grilled chicken sandwich.

- Do you wanna use the red
chilies, hallie, or no?
Yes.

- Chop 'em up. Put 'em in there.
- So, blue team, we've got
gen z and the boomers, okay?

- So we got the old and the new.
- Grandparents and grandkids.

- Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
- Talk to each other, please.

And of course,
captained by rebecka.

Horacio, make sure you--
I need chicken only
in 20 minutes.

Don't cook it too soon
or it's gonna get dry.

I think rebecka is kind of like
the mature, leading voice.

She's obviously had some success
in some of the challenges.

So I think all the blue team's
really looking up to her.

- Yeah, good point.
- Okay, let's see now.

- Get in there.
- Horacio, you can wait
on that chicken.

It does not need
to be on right now. How long
you gonna cook it for?

- I'm gonna cook
this one 10 minutes.
- It needs 8-12 minutes.

- And how long's it gonna rest?
- Three minutes
is more than enough.

I don't think
you understand what I'm saying.

Rebecka did not pick
the hamburger.

- I think that's a bit of
a mistake on rebecka's side.
- Yeah.

Because she's got the youngest
generation in her team.

- These youngsters know how to
absolutely elevate a burger.
- Yeah.

Whose timer's that?
Whose timer is that?

- Horacio, is that your timer?
- Yeah, but I stopped to--

Okay, well, fix it! Fix it!
You are responsible for that.

I think our team
is really strong.

I would say that
the weakest link is the unknown.

And that's horacio.
He's always the unknown.

Horacio, you need
to be testing these
every single time, okay?

Horacio just
is a ball of fire.

You never know which way
he's gonna go

Once he gets dedicated
to an idea,

And so that could
potentially derail us.

- All in the range of 180.
- Okay, that's overcooked.

No, it's moist
and it's perfect.

All right, well, we'll find out
what gordon says about it.

- We will find out.
- I actually prefer having
less in my team.

I think the red team's
got a big advantage here.
They're down to six.

I disagree, chef, I'm sorry.
If you have an extra person,

- That's the difference
between another garnish.
- No.

That's the difference between
somebody jumping on the grill

And helping out and getting
everything done efficiently.

- Arthur?
- Yes? Okay, hold on.

While I commend arthur for
stepping up as team captain...

I think this needs a little bit
of-- a little bit of sugar.

I'm beginning to see
that he's just not
a confident leader.

- What do you think?
- Yeah.

- Maybe a little acid.
- Acid? More acid?

If he doesn't set the example
for believing in ourselves...

- Arthur!
- Yes?

- It has enough chili?
- It has enough chili.

- Do you agree?
- I think it's enough spice.
You don't want to kill it.

- Yeah, it's more than enough.
- It's only gonna trickle down

And we're gonna be
running around like chickens

With our heads cut off
the entire challenge.

- Arthur, talk to me.
What do you need?
- Arthur?

Anybody need help?
Chopping? Slicing? Dicing?

- You can help me shred the
carrots if you have time.
- Okay, yes.

Yeah, shred carrots.

Red team, blue team, 10 minutes
till the judges' dish.

- Yes, chef!
- Let's move, move, move.

Let's go.

Right, arthur, give us
an insight to what we're doing.

We're doing a chipotle
bacon and swiss burger.

- Love that idea. Good.
- And a cabbage slaw.

- Okay. No fries? Why not?
- Yeah. No fries.

We wanted to keep it
fresh and light.

We know that the aioli is gonna
really elevate this burger.

Gotcha. If you're gonna
put a slaw on there,

Just make sure
it's an exceptional slaw.

- Okay.
- How are you splitting
the team up?

- Who's doing what?
- We have mike, myself,
and kamay on proteins.

We have kimberly
and jeet on the slaw.

Right.
- And we have daniela
on the sauce.

- Bacon.
- And who's on
the assembly line?

- I will be on
the assembly line.
- When we get to--

- Kamay, please.
When we're we're talking...
- Sorry. Sorry, chef.

...You're just blurting
over each other.

Who's on the assembly line?

Probably gonna be myself,

Kamay, and either
daniela or jeet.

Be decisive. Make sure
they know what they're doing
before they come down.

- Heard.
- Make sure they're all--
all on the same page.

Got you. Thank you.
Heard, chef.

Team captain rebecka.
All right, so can you give

Some insight to joe and I
what you're doing right now?

We are making a southwestern
style chicken thigh burger

With a macaroni salad,
and then our sauce
is an adobo mayonnaise.

Cool.
- Give us some insight
of who's doing what.

Adam is on buns.
Horacio and warren are manning
the chicken station.

Murt and hallie
are making a corn salsa,

And becca is taking care
of the macaroni salad.

- Thighs are very tricky.
- Thighs are tricky,

And I'm really trying
to rein horacio in.

- He's kind of going
gangbusters, and so--
- is his idea your idea?

Not really. I mean,
I really wanted to dry rub--

- So did you concede
to his idea?
- Um, in a way.

Rebecka, whose idea was it
to take the chicken skin off?

- That was a joint effort.
- You're taking away

An essential part
of the crunchy goodness.

It's the crunchy-crunchy, yes.

Is horacio the only person
manning the grill?

No, actually, it's horacio
and warren together.

- Yeah.
- So, horacio, this is
your recipe, basically?

- This is your idea? In the rub?
- This is my idea.

- No-- just rub?
- Just rub. Use the moisture
outside and the seasonings.

Horacio, it seems like
you've taken control.

You made some
big decisions here.
This is your idea.

- Now you've got to bring it
through to fruition.
- It's coming out.

- Keep seasoning. Come on.
- Hope so.

We might have
to get rid of this yellow pepper

'cause it's a lot to chop.

If you think
it's a lot to chop,

Tell the captain.

All right, once we're done,

Please,
we need hands on the slaw.

Tell that to the captain.
Don't just say it out.

We gotta get burgers going,
more burgers.

- Well, tell the captain.
- Tell the captain.

It's a little
frustrating right now.

Kamay is directing
a lot of people

With small decisions to me
as the captain.

Captain,
what is your recommendation?
What is your recommendation?

I can feel that kamay
is absolutely questioning
my leadership,

And that she is
chomping at the bit
to pivot and take over.

Arthur, you can't just say,
"you guys," you have
to assign someone.

She knows that this
is a position where,

If things go wrong,
the captain goes home.

- You need me on this?
- No, I can do these.
I can slice these.

- Just watch the bacon.
- Are you sure?

There's nothing more important
you can be doing?

The red team, they've got
a delicious bacon cheeseburger,

And they're doing it
with a slaw, no fries.

- What do you mean no fries?
- I know.

- He wanted something
to enhance the burger.
- Oh!

That's what I said,
so let's wait and see.

It's funny because arthur
has got all these great ideas,

But it's not translating
to the team because
he's not talking much.

- Well, who is leading
the team then?
- Kamay.

Pass me the aioli on the buns.
There you go.

I got your burger after that,
and then you lettuce.

- Good?
- You're the captain, man.
Be confident.

- Hallie, you good?
You need anything?
- I'm good.

- Horacio, you're good?
- I am good!

hell, yeah!

The chicken is better
and we're gonna win this thing!

So the blue team,
they picked the chicken thigh.

Then they all decided
to take the skin off.
What do you think about that?

- Well, the skin protects it.
- It also gives it flavor.

- Amazing flavor.
- This is not cooked.

- It's raw right there.
- Rebecka and horacio

Are disagreeing on how
to cook the chicken.
It's his recipe.

He says he's taking
responsibility for the chicken.

- Wow.
- We're ready.

- All right, good.
I'm going back to prepping.
- Okay, go.

- Blue team.
- Yes?

Rebecka, please describe
the dish, please.

So we made a grilled chicken
southwestern sandwich,

Corn salsa on the top,

And then we have
a mac and cheese salad.

- Is that how the corn
goes in there? Wow.
- It's a bit unusual.

- Yeah.
- That's all gonna drop out
when you pick it up.

It needs some form
of freshness in there,

Because the chicken's
on the verge of being dry.

And when you pick up that bun
and all the corn is loose,

The first thing that happens
to the corn, it just--

- Goes out.
- Yeah, I mean,
there's one option.

You could take
some of that corn and put it

Into the macaroni salad
and make that more interesting

- And then find
another garnish on that.
- Okay.

Look, firstly,
I would do a little slaw.
Something lighter.

Maybe a vinegar,
not a mayonnaise.

- Exactly.
- You know what's missing

On that chicken sandwich for me?

- What's that?
- Is crispy chicken skin.

- Yeah, I know.
- Are they brushing it
while they're cooking it?

- No, they're not.
Dry rub, no skin.
- There's no skin on there?

- Is there a-- a bit of a--
- there's some tension
between me and horacio.

- He wants it his way right now.
- You're the captain.

- I am. Absolutely.
- And I know you can cook
better than that.

- That chicken is dry.
- So now is your moment
to take control.

- You got it.
- Tell them what to do.
They have to listen.

- You are the captain
of this team.
- Okay, thank you, chef.

- Don't be scared to change.
- Do not take the skin
off that chicken.

- Got it.
- Next thing, we are adding

- Corn salsa to
the macaroni and cheese.
- Love. Love it.

We are going to make
a vinegar coleslaw.

And, horacio, he is not happy
at all with the chicken.

- Why?
- The chicken was dry
and not good,

- So we need to make
a wet marinade. Okay?
- Really?

Do it now.
Don't have sass, just do it.

Your attitude
is a reality check.

Okay, doesn't matter.
Just do it.

Welcome to team challenges.

You would think
that there would be
some butting of heads

Between gen z
and the baby boomers based on
the age difference.

But, actually,
it's within the baby boomers,

By way of horacio
challenging the captain,
who's rebecka.

Well, rebecka's a strong
personality and a good cook.

I can understand why the zers
will listen to her commands.

- Horacio just doesn't care.
- No.

- Yeah.
- He sees himself as her equal.

Do we have a weather
hat protection?

this thing is too hot, man!

- It's a grill, you donut!
- Maybe you're too old!

- You ready, arthur?
- We're ready.

Let's go, bud.
Right, describe that, please.

This is a chipotle bacon
and swiss burger

- With a side of cabbage slaw.
- I think the slaw looks good.

I like the fact
that it's not overdressed.

Maybe some herbs,
some scallion,

Something that's green
to lift it up.

- That is absolutely spot-on.
- Perfect.

- Cooked real beautiful, yeah.
- Really beautifully spot-on.

- Thank you.
- Aarón?

This burger's very good.
Great seasoning, bacon's nice,
the burger's moist.

It's actually pretty close
to perfect for a burger.

- Amazing.
- Wow.

I think if you can keep
the burgers moist like that,

You have a home run.

The problem is the coleslaw.

It's too raw.

It needs to be macerated more.

You need to take the cabbage,

Maybe break it down
with some vinegar.

You've got a winning
dish here, okay?

Listen, that's one.
You've got 100 to do.

- It's yours to lose now.
- Okay.

- Delicious, okay? Let's go.
- Awesome. Let's go.

- Let's go, guys! Come on!
- Yes, chef.

- Coming, captain.
- Right here, right here.

- Yes, chef?
- Burger's spot-on.
Aioli is perfect as is.

The slaw needs some elevation.
It also needs some vinegar.

We're gonna go ahead now
and salt the cabbage,

Add a little bit
of the apple cider vinegar,
and let it sit.

- Let it sit.
- Okay, cool. We're on it.

- Okay, go.
- What's this for?
What's that for?

- For the chicken.
- Taste it.

And you taste that
as well, please.

oh, my god.

- No, that's not good.
- Too salty.

- Hey, look at me.
- What happened?

"what happened?" you made it.

Hey, blue team, two seconds.

- Do we want to lose this?
- No, sir.

This thing is inedible.
It is so salty.

We're about to throw that
over the chicken, then grill it.

So we're about to lose
before we even start.

- Now get a grip.
- Yes, chef.

Horacio is just messing up
left and right.

First it was the chicken.
Now it's this crazy
marinade he made.

- It was not salty.
- It's salty.

- This was not salty.
- If horacio doesn't
get it together,

- We are a sinking ship.
- I don't know!

- Come on, guys!
- hell.

Rebecka, we can
correct this sauce.

I'm going to fix it,
so I need you to go

And get your chicken ready.

Without the sauce,
I can do nothing.

No, you can start some chicken,

And we can brush it on
as soon as I get it made.

- So start chicken.
We're not gonna have enough.
- Yes, yes, yes.

Help me, lord.

- Captain?
- Yes?

For the slaw,
is the sugar, the mayo--
the creaminess is good?

Everything was good,
except we needed to break down
the cabbage a little bit more.

- Perfect.
- The kitchen is starting
to get disorganized

Because we're behind
on a lot of our components.

Arthur? We're gonna have
a timing issue here

Because once I get on
the grill, somebody's gotta
be making patties.

Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna do that.
I'm gonna be doing that.

The same exact way
I've been doing them, though.

Although the burger only
takes five minutes to cook,

We have to form them
into 100 equal portions,

So that's gonna take
a long time.

- We cannot get
behind on burgers.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, this one's a little
wetter than the other one.

- It does seem a little wetter.
- Let's mix it all together.

I'm looking at the team
that's in charge of slaw,
and they're going really slow.

Jeet, I need you guys
to start putting the slaw
together right now.

How many minutes
do we have, arthur,
till you need those?

- You got ten minutes.
- Yeah, we have enough for that.
We have enough.

- Burgers are on? Okay.
- Going on right now.

Here, taste this.
Careful, it's hot.

Whew! That's awesome.
I really like it.

Rebecka,
three and a half minutes
before turn the chicken.

You need a bunch
of chicken on there.

I know, but I want to face
to the south before.

So rebecka and horacio
are bickering about the
situation with the chicken.

It sounds like two divorced
parents arguing over parental
rights over their child.

- No salt, no pepper?
- I'm waiting for the sauce.

Rebecka wants us
to bring the sauce later.

Rebecka, there's no
seasoning on there?

- Those are not seasoned at all.
- Oh, god, they're not seasoned.

- Oh, my god, horacio,
you are gonna derail us!
- What's happening?

Horacio's method is
absolute trash, and rebecka
needs to switch out

The teams here
and put someone else on grill,
and I really hope it's not me.

Murt, move up to the chicken.
Horacio, you're off chicken.

- Oh, I'm on chicken?
- You're coming back here now

And you're gonna be
doing the slaw.

Rebecka, it's gonna need more
than one person on chicken.

- Hallie can do chicken.
- I can come with chicken.

- Go do it.
- What do you
want me to do, murt?

- Cut the cabbage.
- So my worst nightmare happens.
I'm thrown on the grill.

- Is there seasoning on these things?
- - I don't even know.

Where's your seasoning
for the chicken?

- He dumped it all in the--
- are you kidding me?

I'm sorry, we need at least
salt and pepper on these.

You need to hurry
and make that.

Diners are coming, guys.
10 minutes to go.

Oh, everyone,
our miners are here!

- Hey!
- We're so glad you're here!

I hope you like chicken!

Welcome, guys.
We good? Good to see you, bud.

Good to see you. Hey.

- Hello!
- Hey!

- Welcome! Thank you!
Happy 60 years! Here.
- Wait, these-- oh.

All the quarry men and women
are coming through,

And there's a lot of them,

And we're not even ready yet.

So I'm feeling
a lot of urgency,

And I need to just
get everything together

Very, very quickly.

Arthur, you gotta throw

Somebody on burgers right now.

Somebody's gotta start
making burgers.

- Heard.
- We're gonna run out.

- Who's done with the slaw?
- We're almost done!

Can one of you jump off
and make burgers?

Jeet, can you make burgers
right now? Six ounces.

- Okay.
- I am so hungry right now.

Been out since, what,
3 in the morning?

How soon can I eat?

- Five minutes, arthur.
- Five minutes, guys. Come on.

Arthur, you've got
these four women behind you.

- They need to get involved.
- Yes.

- I wouldn't cook
these burgers on my own.
- Yes.

- Two of you.
- Two of me.

- Synchronize.
- Yes, chef.

Right, daniela, kimberly,

I don't know what you're doing.

We're working on the slaw, chef.

But why is it not done yet?

We're ready with
the first 25 plates, chef.

We have 25,
that's all.

Kimberly,
come with me really quick.

So, arthur pulls me
to the front,

But we are way behind
on chopping

And preparing all
the ingredients for the slaw.

We have nothing prepped
for the next round of slaw.

I'm telling arthur
over and over again,
we need more slaw.

- Let's go! Come on.
- I don't even think
he heard me.

He's so frantically
trying to get food out

That he can't even hear
a word I'm saying.

We have zero slaw ready
for the next round,
just so you know.

First guests here to pick up.

Please double check everything.

- Are you still making patties?
- Yes, chef.

Oh, my god.
What are you doing, daniela?

- Shredding slaw, chef.
- Still?

- Arthur, we've run out of slaw.
- We're working on some.

Red team. Red team!

- That's all the slaw ready?
- For 25, correct.

First off all,
you need to speed up
a little bit.

We haven't even started service

And we've run out of slaw.

I don't know
how that's possible.

We've got to communicate
with each other, guys.

Slaw. Slaw.

Do excuse us.
Three or four minutes.
My apologies.

- I will go help over here.
- Here's lettuce.

- Please check that.
Poke that and make sure.
- Do all these have bacon?

Use these first please, arthur.

- Yes.
- No.

- Hey. Hey, red team.
- Yes, chef? Yes, chef?

- It's under. Yes, chef.
- That's not under.

- It's raw.
- I'll get 'em back on.

I tried to set you up, but
you're just all running around.

No one's listening,
no structure, just panicking.

- Two need to be on the burgers!
- Yes, sir.

- It's raw!
- What's the decision, captain?

- Get on it.
Help on-- yeah, go.
- Me? Okay.

- Two need to be on the burgers!
- Yes, sir.

- It's raw.
- What's the decision, captain?

- Get on it.
Help on-- yeah, go.
- Me? Okay.

- What do you want me to do?
- Help me plate.

- Do you want me
to check all these?
- Check them, kimberly!

Yes, okay.

This is a total show.

There's not enough slaw,

Our hamburgers are raw.

It is just a disaster.

Let's go, let's go.
Here, flip it over.

If arthur doesn't step up
and get us organized,

I'm really worried
that we're not gonna serve
all the diners.

- These-- no, don't.
Use these first.
- No? Okay.

- Let's go, arthur! Come on!
- Come on, let's go.

- Yeah.
- Here, arthur.

In the back of my mind,
I'm thinking,

"please, kamay, just take over."

She's no-nonsense.
She's a lawyer,
for god's sakes.

We need to pivot,
and we need to be organized
to finish this service.

You do that,
I'll do the coleslaw.

- Yeah?
- Is the bacon on that one?

Yes, the bacon is on this one.

Hi, guys, how are you?

Thank you for coming
and eating our food.

We're so happy you're here.

That aioli might be
a little spicy, so be careful.

I need buns, guys!
Buns, buns, buns! How's the
chicken coming, guys?

Oh, it's awesome. We're
rocking and rolling back here.

We're good, we're good,
we're good.

Check this out, joe.

So they took off the boomers
from the grill.

Now we got the gen z,
the young energy.

- An excellent idea.
- Brilliant.

What do you guys think
about your new role, guys?

- You guys pumped up
for the challenge?
- I'm on fire, baby.

- We'll step up.
- Let's do it! I like that.

Hey, more sauce.
Let's get more sauce on there.

Let's switch these over here,
and I'll get the next round
going over here.

Me and murt on the grill
are killing it.

This is gonna be the best damn
chicken y'all have ever had.

Sauce that one, please.
That's the last one.

That one's gonna be
the most raw out of all of them,
so take note of that.

The chicken looks good, guys.

Everything's calming back down.

Horacio is doing his job,

Rebecka is up at the front

Getting everything
sent through.

It's all working out
just fine right now.

All right, that one's for you.

Thank you so much for waiting.

- There you go.
- More mac, dears.

Okay, set up the table again.

All right, I'm almost
done with these patties.

Then I can be on bacon
or slaw.

Kamay, I got some coming over
that I think they're done.

All right, I'm gonna
move some space for you.

kamay steps in,
and she's finally

Helping me on the grill.

So now I've got somebody
working the warming station.

She can get the cheese melted.

Now we've got
some sort of system

To be able to pump
some burgers out.

- Arthur!
- Come on, these are done. Yes?

Done with slaw.
What do you need?

- Come down to front and expo.
- I need help expediting
right now.

- Jeet, have we rolled
the burgers now?
- Yes, we're just on some bacon.

I'm hoping that
even though we started off
a little bit slow,

- Maybe we can finish strong.
- There you go. Thank you.

You're welcome.
Thank you so much.

Here you go. Thank you so much.

Hello, everyone. Bon appetit.
Are you enjoying your lunches?

Which do you like better?

Do you like the burger
of the red team

Or the chicken sandwich
of the blue team?

- I'm gonna go with blue.
- You're gonna go blue.

- Chicken sandwich. Why?
- Gonna go blue.
Chicken sandwich.

It's sweet, tasty,
and it's moist.

- Nice.
- Perfect.

And the burger's not perfect?
Is it a little dry?

- Something wrong?
- Yeah, it's uneven.

- You got dry spots.
- A blue team winner for you.

- How about you, sir?
- I was rooting for the red.

- The beef, the bacon,
you can't go wrong with that.
- Right.

But then I took a bite
of that blue one. Ahh.

- The chicken.
- I didn't want to say it,
but, yeah, dude.

Ladies, do you agree? Disagree?

I really like
the red team's burger

'cause it's really juicy
and it's seasoned really well.

Wow. Please raise your hands
if you like the blue team
chicken better.

Three votes.
Red team burger? One vote.

Thank you.
Enjoy the rest of your meal.

- Thank you.
- Okay, let's go!

- Just set it?
- Just put it 'em-- yeah.
Just put 'em out.

Every batch that's coming in,

Are you checking
the seasoning on this stuff?

- Yes.
- You are? Good.

Check the seasoning
on the macaroni, please.

- Little taste.
- Taste it. Yes, absolutely.

It's a little bit bland now.
Started off nice, and now
it's gone back to bland.

Rebecka, how's
the seasoning on the mac?

You need to add a little bit
more lime to it.

- If you have more mayonnaise,
throw that in there, please.
- Okay.

- Becca? Get some consistency...
- Yes?

- ...And make it exciting, yes?
- Heard. Thank you, chef.

I think that one's not--
well, I think that's done.

- That big one.
- Yeah.

I'm just glad
you're last line of defense.

Look at that. Touch there.

Yeah, that one
I think is not done.

No, but they've gotta get

Their together,

Do you know what I mean?

Hey, murt.

- Yeah?
- Hallie, come here.

Gah. Of all the things
that could happen now,

- We have a piece
of raw chicken.
- It's underdone?

- It's pink, trust me.
- Okay, okay.

There's a little piece of me

That's regretting
the chicken decision.

- Okay? Captain.
- Yes, we need that done.

But it's not a race.
Not a race.

- Here you go.
- Back on the grill, let's go.

- Thank you very much.
- We cannot afford to have

Anymore raw chicken
in the blue team

Because I want to win.

It doesn't matter
if I have immunity,

I always am focused on the win.

I just need one like that
to destroy the whole table.

- Absolutely. You got it.
- No chance.

- Let's go.
- I totally get it.

Oh, my god.

- Hey, murt.
- Yeah?

- Hallie, come here.
Now look at me. Hey.
- Okay. It's underdone?

- It's pink, trust me.
- Okay, okay.

- Okay?
Back on the grill. Let's go.
- Thank you very much.

Come on. I just need
one like that to destroy
the whole table.

- Yeah, absolutely.
You got it. I totally get it.
- No chance. Let's go.

- Here you go.
Thank you, guys. Enjoy.
- Thank you so much.

Come on, guys!
I need buns! I need buns!

- Jeet, start toasting the buns!
- Yes, chef.
I've got bacon coming.

Halfway through service
and you're out of buns.

Come on!
Kamay, blue team's got a protein
that takes twice as long,

- Yet everybody's
waiting for red.
- We're working on it, chef.

Come here.
It started off crispy,
and now it's not even crispy.

- Look, get it crispy now.
- Yes, chef.

Gordon's yelling at me
about the bacon being
not crispy enough.

I don't eat a lot of bacon,
but when I do,

I just pan fry it,
so I have no idea what to do.

- Jeet! There's a grill here!
- I'm right-- I'm right there.

I'm coming, chef.
I'm coming.

We threw the bacon
in the deep fat fryer?

- Yes, chef.
- Oh, my god.

- It doesn't make any sense.
- Deep fried bacon.

What's going on?
Get them in the oven.

- Convection it.
- Tell them to put them
on the grill!

- Yes, chef.
- Guys, why am I missing tops
and bottoms and stuff?

- Arthur, make sure you're
giving the right ones.
- These are not--

- There's no system, kimberly!
- Okay, okay. Go, go.

Jeet, get the bacon
on the grill!

Yes, chef, I'm bringing
it up right now.

Ladies and gentlemen,
sorry about the delay.

So sorry, guys.

Hello, everyone. Bon appetit.
Are you enjoying your lunches?

- Yes, absolutely.
- We are.

Between the red team burger
and the blue team
chicken sandwich,

- What are you thinking?
- Touch overcooked burger,
touch undercooked bacon.

- Okay, got it. You agree?
- The chicken thigh's
just incredibly moist.

- And the pasta salad, good?
- Pasta salad's incredible.

And then on my burger,
I ended up getting
a two-top bun.

Raise your hand
if you're gonna vote

For the blue team
chicken sandwich.

Three?
And you're by yourself
on the burger.

Here you go. Let's go, guys.

We're getting
into the rhythm here.

- Hi, everyone.
Enjoying your lunches?
- Yeah.

So you have the grilled
chicken thigh sandwich

From the blue team
with the pasta salad,

And for the red team,
cheeseburger with coleslaw.

What do you think?

The burger?
And, ma'am, for you?

Yeah, same. I think the red team
had more flavor, honestly.

- And the coleslaw as well.
- The coleslaw was great.

- And I usually don't
like coleslaw, so...
- Wow. Young lady?

Wow. Raise your hand
if you like

The red team burger better.
Full house.

Good teamwork.
We're killing it.

You want them on trays?
I can just put them on trays.

Thank you, that's great.
Put them on.

Both teams' meat
was cooked great.

I got my burger,
it was medium.

I got my chicken,
it was super juicy.

- You guys are doing great.
- I'm so impressed!

Thanks, captain!
Let's go, guys.

What pushed it over for me
though was the sides.

I just liked
the pasta salad more than
I liked the coleslaw, yeah.

- Do we have more lettuce?
- More lettuce?

- We're out of lettuce.
- We need lettuce, guys.
Lettuce.

- Asap, asap.
- Tell somebody.

- Daniela's on it. She's coming.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Is the lettuce not ready? No.
- No.

- Oh, my god.
- Here you go.

- Come on, right here.
Thank you.
- There you go.

- Is that clean, that lettuce?
- You washed these, right?

- I was told
not to wash it, chef.
- No, you weren't told that.

are you kidding me?

- No, no, stop.
- No, no. You have
to wash the lettuce.

Oh, my god. Oh, guys.
"I was told not to wash it."

Red team,
can we get lettuce washed

- And respect these
quarry workers? Now!
- Yes, chef.

- Who's washing the lettuce?
- Kimmy, go. Kimmy, go.

Wash the lettuce, please.
Just quickly.

Okay, everyone, can I have
your attention, please?

Once you have finished eating,
please vote

For the team whose dish
you enjoyed more

By shoveling the colored sand
of the respective team

Onto the conveyer belt.
Thank you very much.

Blue team! Last 12 right here.

Last 12. I want them pretty,
all of them. Let's go.

- Do you want me
to start here? Okay.
- You can, yeah.

- Then we'll be done.
- We should make
ourselves a sandwich.

They're beautiful chicken, guys!
Good job.

The red cheeseburger,
the sauce on it was fantastic.

I'm gonna vote for the red team,
for the burger.

Guys, we're not
gonna have enough slaw.

And now run out of slaw.
Oh, my god.

Daniela, we've ran out
of slaw as well.

Who are you gonna blame
on that one?

Bacon-- there's no bacon left.
Send it. Send the burger.

Where's the--
oh, we're out of slaw.

- That was embarrassing.
- I agree.

We started off
on the back foot.

We didn't get strong,
we weren't together,

The prep was disorganized,
and you had the best dish,

But you guys just couldn't
get your act together.

- Yes, chef.
- Shame on you.

- I'm sorry, chef.
- Clear down.

- Thank you.
- Sorry, chef.

You should feel very proud
of yourselves, okay?

I like gen z taking control
of that grill.

- You guys rock.
- Had we not done it,
we would have gone down.

- Captain, good job.
- Give it up for rebecka.

- Rebecka.
- Love you all so much.

- Good job, blue team.
- Thank you, rebecka.
Thank you, rebecka.

- Thank you, team.
- I think overall
we did very well.

The gen z kids,
once they got in the rhythm,
I was so impressed.

Everybody was just
rocking it.

If you want to win,
you have to be a team member.

You do it wrong, move out.

Let the people who know to do,
to do it right.

We are old dog,
but we learn new tricks.

I guess the biggest concern
is if the other team

- Made a better
sandwich than us.
- It was disorganized.

I wish we had more time
to communicate in the beginning.

- Yeah.
- I think we tried
to do our best,

But we were not working
as a unit.

Yeah, we got in the weeds.

Yeah, I apologize.

We started off with an idea,
and then we didn't
execute the idea.

I hope we did better
than the blue team.
That's all I care about, right?

The plates had all
the flavors that we hoped
that they would get.

- Yes.
- Let's just hope they landed
the way we wanted them to.

- I think we're gonna win.
We don't know yet.
- We don't know.

I'm disappointed, you know?

I think
we could have certainly

Have been more efficient,
more effective.

Right from the beginning,

There was a bit
of a power struggle,

Where obviously kamay
wanted to be captain.

Rather than helping
and making things smoother,

She just kept barking out,
"what are we doing?"

I don't think she was
that good of a soldier for me.

I think leaders
should be decisive,

And I don't know
if he was as confident as
he should have been.

I'm honestly feeling deflated.
We should have done better.

I'm definitely not ready
to go home.

Ladies and gentlemen,
thank you for letting us
give back to you today.

What a way to celebrate
this lovely quarry.

Three generations,
60 years in the making.

Now, we would
like to introduce you
to the amazing cooks.

The blue team
and the red team.

Despite the fact
that it was chaos,

I think, all in all,
we all did really well.

The diners looked happy,

And I'm hoping that
the red team did enough

To get more votes
than the blue team.

Even just one vote more.

Right, only one team
can win and be safe,

But somebody
from the losing team

Will be leaving
the competition today.

Right, the votes are in.

Today's winning team

That will be safe
from elimination...

Congratulations goes to...

Whoa!

- Oh!
- Oh, my god!

Aah!

the blue team!

I am feeling so good
about winning.

I think as captain
I did pretty well,

And as a boomer, you know,

To go out there and prove
that I could do this,

It was amazing.

I am so proud of my team.

They did such a great job.

Blue team, congratulations.

What a performance.

And, rebecka, as a captain,

You have earned a huge advantage
in the next challenge.

Thank you. Thank you.
You guys did great.

Ladies and gentlemen,
on behalf of the entire
masterchef family,

Thank you for giving us
the opportunity

To feed you
an amazing lunch today

To help celebrate
this incredible quarry.

Now, you guys are fed,

So I take it it's time
to get back to work, right?

Stay safe, god bless,
and take care.

- Thank you,
ladies and gentlemen.
- Thank you, guys.

Thank you, guys.

Red team, you know
what this means for one of you.

Your time in this
competition is done.

We need a moment to discuss.
Excuse us.

Red team started off
with a winning dish.

Yeah, they couldn't
make it happen.

They went on to make
so many mistakes.

But at the end of the day,
who didn't observe

What was happening
and unfolding at that moment?

The captain.
- I take full responsibility,
guys.

I signed up for it.

- Then we agree? We agree?
- Yeah.

Red team, that was
a very difficult challenge.

You started off
with something unique with
that burger you presented.

And then the wheels fell off.
Arthur, daniela, and jeet,
please step forward.

Joe, aaron, and myself
have talked it over,

And we agree that the person
going home is...

Arthur.

Daniela, jeet,
say good-bye to your captain,
and back in line, please.

- Sorry.
- That's okay.
It's my fault, guys.

- You're amazing.
Keep cooking.
- It's all good.

Arthur,
every team needs a captain,
every captain needs a voice!

You had the winning dish
in your hands,

You just couldn't
orchestrate it.

You are a sophisticated
gen x ad exec,

And we fell in love
with the plating,
the aesthetics.

But I'm hoping this experience
will continue to spur you on

To live out that food dream.

Absolutely.
Thank you guys so much.

Come and say good-bye, bud.

You know,
I did the best I could,

And I tried to swing
for the fences on this one,

And unfortunately I missed.

I certainly wasn't
ready to go home,

But I came
into this competition

An over-thinker
and a perfectionist,

And now I learned
that there's elegance
in simplicity,

And that's invaluable.

Bye, guys.

It's been an amazing ride.

Next time on
Generations"...

You'll be facing the infamous
tag-team challenge.

...It's our toughest one yet.

You'll have to make
four different dishes.

Rebecka, since you were
the winning captain

From the last challenge,
you get to pick tonight's pairs.

- Nice.
- Oh.

- We're gonna have
some big issues.
- Switch!

- Let's go!
- Switch, switch, switch!

- What goes first?
- This doesn't look good.

- A little faster. We gotta go.
- I got it.

- They are really behind.
- Switch!

- let's go!
- We need to start the crepe!

- It's the most
vicious pick so far.
- Check your crepe!

This is not quite the dream team
I had hoped for.

- Switch!
- You're killing me, man!
