In Hell’s Kitchen, two teams compete for the prestigious job of head chef at a top restaurant, all under the guidance of world-class fiery chef Gordon Ramsay.

Let’s Go first name is Dave what is it have ostrich with panser brussels sprouts I’ve definitely idolized Chef Ramsey for years I want to earn his respect if Chef ramsy takes my dish and tells me it’s crap I think it could seriously do permanent mental damage to me Seasons very nice oh

Dear why are these [ __ ] brussel sprouts undercooked my bad yeah [ __ ] Russell Sprouts it’s like hard breaking that he didn’t like that the ostrich is cooked beautifully it’s pink and it’s tender but there’s no [ __ ] excuse for undercooked vegetables you’re right piss off both of you neither of you gets the

Point I was scrubbing the truck in my hand got stuck so I yank it out I was about to just lose my arm there I thought my wrist start to swell up right away but I kind of hid it from the guys cuz I didn’t want anybody to

Know everything’s got to be dry here no spots on any of this shammy Shamu good morning how you doing there’s a second part of the finishment so follow me thanks a lot guys good luck appreciate it thank you very much good luck take it easy thank

You [ __ ] walking up the stairs the very top stair click I’m rolling both ankles not just one dude that looks nasty man medic is coming now they had a medic come look at it wow I knew something bad just happened to me extremely bad while Kevin

Nurses an injury that could force him to leave Hell’s Kitchen he learns he is not the only one in pain do you have little ice packs for like a wrist my wrist is really screwed up it was really swollen I’m scared that I can’t feel the tips of my

Fingers yeah that hurts yeah it’s just because it feels like the bones touching the skin all right a chef needs to stand and move fast how the hell am I going to do that with two bum ankles hey I got to go get it X-rayed two of our guys are on

The way to the hospital there’s a chance we’ll be four guys down in a matter of a day that ain’t a good thing man they ain’t a good thing for me they ain’t a good thing for The Blue Team keep [ __ ] crack Ling what’s up what did they say I have

A torn fcr and a slight fracture of the rest I was hoping for the best but I got bad news they told me I definitely had a torn ligament and a little fracture but I’m a tough guy I can take the pain dude I’m fine to work all right ladies let’s

Go a quick chat Gentlemen let’s go let’s go ladies yesterday the effort from A team’s point of view was brilliant put that into a service yes yes sir Dave how’s your wrist it’s okay Chef Kevin how’s your ankle you’re great chef right one member from the red team

One member from The Blue Team I’m going to become waiters tonight when one of you get to Whistler you’re going to understand what it’s like with that Harmony of the room in the kitchen working together yeah good so blue team oh I haven’t even thought about it yet

But okay good you’re going to be the S yeah you got it a one arm bandit it’s know not a problem I can use both hands Chef uhuh good over in the blue kitchen the men are hitting new lows blue team’s falling apart we got Dave in his wrist

And we have Kevin in his ankles and Robert in his morbid obesity so a lot of things weighing against us there it’s fairly unbearable pain but even if I’m doing harm to my wrist I just push through it shape it knead it I’m waiting to hear from the doctor what

The deal is I’m I’m just scared of what the outcome could be da need you to go to the dorm there’s an important phone call regarding your Wrist this is Dave David this is dranel review the MRI you have a fracture okay treatment that’s standard in this case is to put you in a long arm cast for a period of 2 weeks you will not be able to move your thumb I’m sorry to be the bear of bad

News but uh it’s going to be very difficult for you to compete essentially that’s what it is okay okay all right thanks thanks I gave up everything to come here I’ll never get another chance like this in my life that’s crushing me I don’t know what to do and the thought of

Having it taken away from me is just it’s like it’s like total Despair his chance to become head chef and Whistler could be over and now he must discuss his options with Chef Ramsey hi Dave hi Chef Ramsey how are you feeling this is like crushing to me I understand it would be a great shame for you to exit now on the

Back of you know uh a ligament tear a problem it’s your weakest hand fortunately you have an important decision to make you’ve got to decide are you going to stay in house kitchen there are so many thoughts going through my head right now I don’t I don’t know

What to think a small handful of people in the world get picked to get this opportunity if I make the wrong choice it could be career suicide for me yes chef I’m so committed to working for you and this dream nothing could stop me okay I think you made the right

Decision we’ll get the C on and um get your butt back here happy with that yeah Chef thank you so much yeah I did not want to go home today and I know I have the skill to win this game all right guys I have to get it

Casted and I can come back it’s my bad hand and like I can give the team 100% we can’t afford lose anybody else right now the girls are up too we’re just crippled right now we’re busy but we stay in control the blue kitchen is falling apart but their missing teammate

Returns to lend a helping hand hey buddy what’s up we are slipping da I want you on desserts please with that car fresh want it over there yes let’s go I walked into service and it looked really slammed get yourself acquainted with desserts and help out there was no time

For small talking I don’t understand how Dave’s going to make it through this with just one arm you really do need both hands Dave away on table 20 20 Chef yes chef I just jumped on desserts and I bust it out behind behind thank you keep it up Dave you’re doing

Great he’s got one [ __ ] hand in action yeah and he’s working quicker than anyone I might need a chicken popy do we have any of those yeah the freezer yes thank you I feel like I am definitely at a disadvantage I don’t have a thumb on my left stand to work

With it’s completely uh immobile are you all right Dave no I’m okay even though I have one arm I’m not out of this game I’m here to win and nothing else do we hold that for you no I have to be able to like do things myself

Dude two chicken one p but one member of the blue team is still worried Dave you got to get him going now in a pan in the oven I am a little concered Dave in his hand can I popped them off for you no dude it’s chill I got it Jesus you’re

Freaking me out Andy all right dude relax no like I appreciate your help but all right got it I got it you know what I’m saying I have my routine get the [ __ ] off my station dude cuz I know what I’m doing once I start [ __ ] up then

You can get on my balls with Dave singlehandedly delivering another entree to the pass amazing amazing amazing diners on the blue side are enjoying their food for this low calorie challenge chef Ramsey is looking to see which team can create the best tasting 700 calorie menu cottage cheese can be really low in

Calorie would do like a nice Seafood Grill the Hell’s Kitchen nutritionists will weigh in and calculate every ingredient to make sure each team stays within the coward limit you guys have entree we decide teams of two is how it’s going to work out me and Robert

Have app Jim and Van on Entre a seared pork job we’ll do Dave and Andy on desserts I’m going to work on the fruit I have to add sugar to it that’s the only thing I don’t think so I think it’s perfect like not sweet at all I’m not used to having to base my dish around counting the calories my role was just trying to take Andy’s vision and make it happen I wouldn’t do anymore all

Right I was worried cuz the girls had some really nice stuff this has got to kick some ass I’m making apple fruit compo every day of my life no problem here we go and oh come on when Chef ramsy laughed it definitely like stung I feel like a loser what is

That Chef we have an egg white crepe filled with a fruit compot and then we have a Blackberry and vanilla yogurt cream it tastes foul that’s the kind of crap you serve when you just come out of a heart bypass or an ulcer operation that’s a joke back in

Line Dave an order you one pork special yes I’m going up with your garnish hey you don’t even know what you’re doing cuz you’re cooking something we don’t even [ __ ] need Come On Dave momentarily I spaced which dishes when with which garnishes was confusing hey

Minute left that was about yeah 1 minute one minute no it wasn’t cook right good morning morning chef it’s time to push each and every one of you further in terms of creativity that brings us to our next challenge Scott Heather Please holy crap is that a crafts table uh-oh I don’t gamble for a reason because I’m not good at it we’re going to have a little bit of fun to throwing dice one for the red team one for for The Blue Team notice they have 12

Letters on you’ll each get to roll the dice once then you’ll choose an ingredient beginning with that letter each team will come up with one dish just make sure the ingredients you select complement each other I don’t want Dijon mustard served over a baked banana let’s go step forward and let’s begin big

Money up H I got H and I’m thinking Henrietta hippo it’s difficult when you’re under pressure I’ll go hack hack good good good good hack is very easy to work with a very versatile fish perfect good start and F what goes well with hadock f Come On Dave uh I’m thinking fennel

Right off the bat I do a dish with brazed hattic and fennel Dave please say fennel Dave fennel fennel come on figs I don’t know figs fig you [ __ ] kidding me pigs and hadock Rise um right blue team hadock figs angel hair pasta apples and tomatoes right five ingredients 30 minutes to cook that dish yes yes fig is [ __ ] us up man how are we going to put figs with hack I have no idea I’m hollowing out a few

I’ll dice a few I think Dave was definitely compensating cuz he felt bad about the figs got these perfect little fig cups I got this kind of fig got figs for roasting I got that kind of fig figs are rich and like so nice while the men continue to figure

Out their dish working hard baby working hard the women know exactly what they want to do and everyone has their job no no no keep it cooking in there meanwhile the men are trying to find a way to make the figs work in their dish I’m going to use some scraps yeah

Yeah how we doing right here wao I just put figs in there see it’s not bad right surprisingly I was in shock I had to have everyone taste it to make sure they were tasting what I was tasting these are delicious isn’t that that’s [ __ ] awesome dude that’s pretty good bro when

I tasted that sauce I knew we we had a chance five four 4 3 2 1 and stop wow Well Done Right ladies what is it please this is a pan roasted tenderloin and leg of rabbit and roasted garlic rosemary puree that also has some

Of the ham Haw stock I look over at the girls dish it’s so beautiful it looks like it came out of a cookbook I thought the leg was going to be slightly dry the way it was cooked but no it’s moist cooked to Perfection and garlic pure is very Strong once Chef ramsy honed in on the garlic I was hoping that that was our one Saving Grace because by looks alone their presentation was perfect all right gentlemen what is it okay we have a bra ptic and a tomato and fig sauce the Fig was to sweeten the acidity of the Tomato

Very clever and then we have the angel hair pasta on the bottom fish is delicious mhm nice very tough decision because both dishes are delicious the winning dish is the blue team yeah I picked figs with Fish And we won yeah we’re like the mver of cooking just

Throwing everything together and all of a sudden you got a bomb and a nice dish I want to make sure you guys get taken care of cuz if you don’t that would be the worst possible case scenario we’re going to work it out for you forward to it thank you Dave what’s

Morning it’s the big dogs now this is about let the best chef win all I got to say is good luck getting down to the nitty-gritty getting down to the we can’t be friends anymore there’s a little camaraderie left but I think that’s all about to be out the window

You know when uh it’s going to be every man for himself man eat man morning chef lovely in Black Chef cooking I mean Chef in there getting down he got like six spots and he plating and tasting and this is all right no more red team no more Blue Team

Six of the best I thought it would be nice to start this morning by sort of tasting so here we go this is the most amazing fill it with beef that’s one of our signature dishes from my restaurant in London van what do you think perfect

When I eat and I go out like that I very quickly close my eyes I want to taste and just concentrate on what’s in there I can die a happy man now that Chef Ramsey has personally cooked me a breakfast of Fame monion and truffles

Bury me now I’m all set but to taste it now make it challenge Chef Ramsey has chosen a dish with four main components fish garnish puree and sauce leave some for everyone it was like a pack of wolves running toward that dish Suzanne come here the first thing I do is get a

Piece of everything so I can kind of do an odd Topsy on the plate I’m going to go start collecting ingredients SE one grab what you know every ingredient that the chefs need to recreate this dish can be found in the Hell’s Kitchen Store room I just don’t know what this small

Dice is okay just over 15 minutes to go yes chef the Duos must now figure out the final component in Chef Ramsay’s dish the sauce is the going to be the hardest part there’s like one flavor we’re missing in the sauce what is it it’s like orangey I taste the sauce and

I know it’s a very strong Citrus but it’s also very sweet you can add more of the mango if you want I knew that it wasn’t quite fullon mango flavor but it wasn’t registering to me what it was was that this or this so we end up going

With star fruit what about the passion fruit as soon as I start cutting open the passion fruit yes yeah bang I’m feeling secure about that 3 minutes to go for the key ingredient in the sauce each team has chosen something different Ariel and Van are using star fruit Kevin and tanil

Have picked grapefruit and Dave and Suzanne are going with passion fruit I’m St in a test that Chef Ramsey uses to separate the chefs from the cooks it’s time to find out which team has come closest to recreating his dish so we’ve got sauteed turbo on a bed of blenched

Spinach with a pars P pure we also have bits of calamari tagon sherel and then passion fruit sauce passion fruit nice okay good I feel really good about it and I think it was a beautiful partnership very very interesting indeed first of all congratulations each and every one of you turet well

Done but nobody had the puree Cel root pnip pnip the puree was a white onion it was sweet thank God everybody missed the puree so I knew that like we’re all on an equal level and the garish shille Tagan yes squid yes what was missing in your dish that you didn’t put on

There go man we forgot the calamari no garnish no garnish garnisher the garnish the garnish the garnish was the first thing I made I put it off to the side I guess I put it off too far to the side cuz I forgot damn what a shame that means me and Kev

Are completely out of the running [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] okay Ariel and Van and suzan and Dave very very very close very close there’s one big difference only one of you got the fruit that was in the base of the Citrus vinegret star fruit or passion fruit this is it it’s the

Passion fruit that’s going to kill it so the winning Duo Is Dave and Suzanne the source is passion fruit yes it was yes it was sorry suzan’s over there oh I know Chef I know zip it up amazing you two holy crap you’re going to be rewarded as a team we’re going over to my restaurant here in La at the London

I feel fine now I would not lie to you Chef I respect you too much to lie to you I feel fine this this hand is fine like I’m fine I’m fine I feel good I feel strong please don’t take me out of this unless you think I’m not a good

Enough Chef then take me out but not CU of my risk I hear you Dave yeah Chef I was wondering if I’d made the right decision by keeping you [Applause] here after a lot of thought my decision is I know I did okay hey Ariel Kevin Dave congratulations I’m making it to the

Final three and to reward you personally Dave your fiance McKay and your sister Allison what hey what’s up God I missed you guys so much you don’t realize how much you miss somebody until you get to see them again it’s been like so weird being in this isolation no

Words can describe how I felt one of you is going to be the head chef of the araxi restaurant in Whistler you’re that close get some rest now Dave I’m not that sure about you but you can continue okay I can continue somehow the one arm

Bandit is still here I’m going to take this whole thing and I’ll see everybody at the araxi when this is all said and done well done H well done seriously well done now get some sleep Dave come over I’ll take this one I don’t know Indian food Indian food why

India okay I’ve never made an Indian dish in my life don’t be intimidated Dave by Indian Cuisine now in the St rooms behind you yes there are ingredients from the country you selected use those ingredients wisely excited yes each of you got 45 minutes to cook your entree

Yeah want something stunning are you ready yes 45 minutes starting from now off you go have a good look at the spices M lovely I’m just going to pick a dish that I know how to make and I’m going to put an Indian flare or Indian

Twist I don’t know I I don’t have no I I don’t know what I’m doing I I’m just pretending Dave however are these the only proteins we’re all to work with I have no idea still hasn’t decided what to make the main goal right now is to cook whatever animal India doesn’t

Worship if I put the wrong animal on the plate it’s going to be like sacr and I’m instant screwed fish chicken Beef Pork I’m going pork what you protein what you using pork pork I was going to use beef and then I thought I remembered something Dave was visibly frustrated

He’s showing fear he’s showing a sign of weakness so hopefully it don’t affect his cooking we’ll see let’s get guys damn it I just burned my next 5 behind you 4 3 2 one and stop holy mackerel right next India Dave I’m definitely intimidated I’m being judged by a master Indian Chef

I’m really nervous okay now I’ve never worked with Indian food before this is my first go at it so what I have here is Ming Bean puree and a seared pork tender line and why did you choose pork I believe that in India cow is woried so I went with

Pork Maybe I’m Wrong vas no pork is also not a very important dish in Indian Cuisine because of the lot of Muslims which live in India so my protein choice would probably not be served chicken seafood oh my God why did I pick pork right off the bat my protein screwed me

Respecting the cuisine and the people I would have gone a little safer with that well definitely do respect the people and that’s why I avoided beef but now I know to avoid pork as well um Thomas I thought the for not having worked with these spices it actually Blended very well together

Thank you Eddie please uh it tastes really good you know thank you sharing so vas any final thoughts on the dish the lentils were done very creatively yep first try amazing that’s very good I can’t believe it they actually liked my dish and and I am so relieved right now excellent now it’s

Time to decide who wins The Challenge is it Dave’s Indian Ariel’s Chinese or is it Kevin’s Mexican dish I’ll be picked uh Indian thank you chef Thomas which one would it be you know what I I would have I would have loved to have tried

The mola on that dish I think it would have really brought it together but because you didn’t have that mly on there I’d have to go with Dave that was very nice thank you Chef yeah Indian cooking it’s very intimidating and doing it first time you

Have to give them full credit that was a disel go for damn 3-0 everyone yeah well done Dave it’s good for someone who touched Indian spices Cuisine for the first time well done I’m psyched man I can’t believe I pulled this [ __ ] off looks like I do know how to cook Indian

In the red kitchen how are you very good while Dave will be working with Scott in the blue kitchen questions anybody we’re fine Dave we’re fine Dave did a pretty smart move keeping it simple but I look over at my man Kevin I’m going to pour a

Little bit of the sauce over it gorgeous every one of his plates could be on the cover of gourmet magazine look at that it’s foney I don’t even care what it is is I just want to eat it if they taste as good as they look we’re in a lot of

Trouble right uh Kevin yes chef let’s go big man the finalist menus consist of three appetizers three Entre and three desserts Kevin’s menu features an appetizer of caramelized scallops an entree of coffee cured beef tenderloin and a trio of creme brulee for dessert aesthetically food looks brilliant but

There’s a lot to execute there yeah just you know tight it up okay well done thank you what you wel Done Right Dave let’s go Dave’s menu features a wild mushroom risotto appetizer a roasted loin of venison entree and a dark chocolate mousse stacked dessert it’s simple and it’s

Plain it’s pedestrian but you’re in the final house kitchen M you got to explode you got it Chef yeah well done thank you Chef thank you you got It right tonight’s menu is Kevin’s menu is very artistic very beautiful but my big worry right now is that I think Kevin’s food is a little bit too complicated he’s got to watch us attention to detail Now Dave may have a very simple approach to his cooking very

Humble very rustic but he can’t afford to be sloppy tonight is all down to the execution that’s who’s going to call the winner tonight Kevin in the red kitchen will go head-to-head with Dave in the blue kitchen each kitchen will serve 13 tables with 50 diners in attendance are

Top chefs from British Columbia including Chef Walt of axi restaurant in bar it’s good to see that there’s BC stuff there for sure who will be Kevin or Dave’s future employer I think I’m decided I will have the petite clam bake I’m going to go with the one as
