The chefs cook bison with international flair. The winners meet some animal actors while the losers make bread and butter from scratch.
NARRATOR: Previously on “Hell’s Kitchen.” Oh, my god, it’s Steve Vai. This guy’s a legend. NARRATOR: After an inspiring performance from a rock maestro, the chefs were tasked to compose their own masterpiece. I want the ahi. I’ll take pork chops. Stay confident, here. NARRATOR: While Joe went a little
Too far taste testing his own dish. Where’s the [bleep] lobster? I tasted a piece. It’s a cooking challenge, not a [bleep] eating challenge. NARRATOR: Chad went a little overboard with black garlic on his crusted tuna. It’s doused in black garlic. Somebody took a [bleep] on his plate is what it looked like.
NARRATOR: On the red team, strong performances by Jackie– Wow. Point for the red team. NARRATOR: –and Ashley– Tuna’s cooked beautifully. Thank you, Chef. NARRATOR: –resulted in a dominating red team victory. Red team, congratulations. We kicked the blue team’s ass. NARRATOR: At dinner service, Dannie’s surprising anxiety on appetizers–
I’m not comfortable with the pizza. NARRATOR: –had the red team losing faith in her. Dannie, if you’re not with all stations at this point in the competition, you don’t have what it takes. NARRATOR: But Kristin– Let’s push these apps out, guys. And get ready the entrees. NARRATOR: –and Ariel– Watch these two sauces.
All right, no problem. This one is getting too hot. NARRATOR: –kept it moving. And the red team had a respectable dinner service. Ariel. Yes, Chef? Beautifully cooked New York strip. Service, please. NARRATOR: In the blue kitchen– – Two chicken, VIP give me time. – It’s raw. I can’t sent it out yet.
NARRATOR: Amanda, suffering from a back injury, was overwhelmed on the meat station. I think you should take your apron off and go home. I want to do this. I know I can. You’ve got 10 minutes. NARRATOR: But there was another major issue holding back the blue team– GORDON RAMSAY: Two arctic char.
How long? No answer. NARRATOR: Chad and Jared’s lack of communication. Eight dinner service. But you still can’t communicate. NARRATOR: The blue team lost and nominated– Amanda. NARRATOR: –and– Jared. NARRATOR: But Chef Ramsay decided to shake things up. Chad, step forward. You have lost your confidence.
I’m hoping that you can find it in the red team. NARRATOR: Giving Chad and– Dannie, you are going to the blue team. Yes, Chef. NARRATOR: –a chance to regain their confidence on new teams, keeping everyone’s chances alive of becoming the next head chef at BLT Steak in Bally’s Las Vegas.
And now the continuation of Hell’s Kitchen. All right, get out of here. Welcome. Well, thank you, guys. I thought I was going home. I was like, [gasp]. I did not expect my name to come up for take your jacket off. I mean, wow, what the hell, man. I don’t know what to feel.
I’m just in shock. I don’t mind her not being on our team. Let me put it that way. It felt like there was always a conflict between everyone else and Dannie. I think Chad in our team will work out very well. I look forward to it. Glad to have you on team, bro.
Thank you. We got Chad’s angels. Yeah we got Chad’s angels now. Yeah, yeah. Send it. Send it. Send it. Charlie. [theme – ohio players, “fire”] THEME SONG: Fire. Fire. The way you walk and talk really sets me off to a fuller love, child yes, it does.
The way you swerve and curve really wrecks my nerves. And I’m so excited, child. When you shake what you’ve got, and girl, you’ve got a lot. You’re really something, child, yes, you are. When you’re hot, you’re hot, you really shoot your shot. You’re dynamite child, yeah. Fire. Fire. Fire.
I’m now on blue team. I look really good in blue. Day one. Hey, you look good, baby. Every day here in Hell’s Kitchen is a surprise. And whatever it is, you know, you just have to be ready for it. Oh my god. You don’t take a city bitch and throw
Her in a kitchen with a bison. I would [bleep] my pants. Oh, my god, he’s looking at me. I don’t want to go first anymore. Why am I in the front? I’m the one that has a handicap. I’m just going to have to use my crutches to catapult
Over if it starts to charge. Morning. ALL: Morning, Chef. I see you’ve already met my friend, Jack. Good morning, Jack. Jack’s an American bison and probably the biggest 12-year-old you’ve ever seen. It’s [bleep] huge. Native Americans and the first settlers hunted bison. Now– oh. ALL: [groan] Jack, please.
Talk about hunting and he pees on my carpet. It was like a waterfall of pee. Like six gallons of pee all over the floor. At least it’s a number one. ALL: [groan] [bleep] Great. Put a diaper on that thing or something before you bring it in here.
Marino’s going to have a fit now. For your next challenge, each of you will be cooking a cut of bison. Sorry, Jack. Now, when I say go, I want you to carefully walk by Jack, bolt outside, and stand behind the cut of bison that you want. Are we ready? ALL: Yes, Chef.
Let’s go. Very carefully. – Should I walk? Easy, easy. No need to stampede. Oh, my god. We’re going to die. Get the [bleep] out of here. When wild animal sense fear, they eat your [bleep] face. Oh, my god. I just saw the ground bison and I ran right up to it.
I didn’t even look to see what else was there. Oh, word. Oh, [bleep] Bison ribeye, nice. I’m down with that. Frank and I get paired up. I’m feeling so confident. It’s Frank. What is going to make, a burger? Now, obviously, each of you will be cooking head-to-head.
In my mind I should beat Jackie at everything we do. Unless we’re talking about smoking cigarettes. Then Jackie is going to crush me. On the board there are seven different flags that represent ingredients from each of their countries. Now, in a way similar to early Americans,
You’ll have to shoot for the rest of the ingredients using a bow and arrow. BOTH: Yes. The winner of the shootout will pick the ingredients that both of you will work with. Let’s begin with the ground bison. Jackie and Jared, step up please. Come on, Jackie. Let’s go, Jared.
– Are you ready? – I’m ready, Chef. Right. Take aim. That was bad. Jackie, come on. Come on, Jared. Yes. Boom, done. Way closer than Jackie– wasn’t really worried about that. Pick Italian. I know Jackie wanted Italian. So I was kind of strategizing a little bit– thinking,
What would she have the most trouble with? And I pick Spain. – Wow, Spanish. Give one to Jackie. Nice. Ashley and Dannie, let’s go. Come on, Ashley. Come on, Ash. Dannie. NARRATOR: While Dannie’s shot is just a bit outside, Ashley’s– Well done. NARRATOR: –hits closer to the mark. And you’re selecting Thai. Wow.
Asian food– my strength. OK, next up– Chad, Amanda, let’s go. Chad, you got this. Nice. Good job. You can’t beat that, Amanda. I don’t know how to do this. Pull it straight back. Be confident with it. [cheering] Good job. The little girl shows you up. Natural [bleep] archer right here. Italian. Well done.
Good shot. That’s a good one. OK, next up– Ariel and Joe. Very carefully, let’s go. Joe got little arms. He ain’t going to be able to pull back that far. Come on, Ariel. GORDON RAMSAY: Come on, Joe, you can do this.
– Can I get a redo on that one? – Good job, Joe. Good job, Joe. Ariel, pick your cuisine. [bleep] Japanese, nice. OK, let’s go. Last up– Frank, Kristin, let’s go. Frank, you’ve got this all day. – Come on, Kristin. – All day. Don’t let the Marines down, Frank. No pressure.
Come on, Kristin. You’ve got this. Come on, Kristin. Have you shot one of these before? Oh, yeah. I’m like, da-da-da-da. I’m channeling Kevin Costner in “Robin Hood” right now. I’ve totally got this. You’ve got it, Kristin. Come on. Whoops, whoops. It’s all right, Kristin. Don’t worry about it. All right, Frank.
I think I know where I’m going right now. Good man. I think were going a little French. Wow, OK. It’s time to cook. You’ll all have 40 minutes. And your time starts now. Off you go. NARRATOR: In today’s challenge the chefs have 40 minutes– Thanks, team.
NARRATOR: –to prepare a dish using only their cut of bison– I don’t know how safe this is. NARRATOR: –and the ingredients from the country they chose. [inaudible] I know exactly what I’m doing. I feel extraordinarily confident in my dish. I’m doing a warm peanut noodle salad.
My two dads have an Asian American restaurant. So I’m ready to nail this competition right in the bison butt. Is there a way to rehydrate seaweed? Does anybody know how to rehydrate seaweed so it’s pliable? Joe probably has two experiences with Asian culture. The massage parlor he goes to and the carry-out
He gets right after. Let me see, Joe. This is just nori. This is just for flavor. You can chiffonade this. You can eat it raw like that. But you’re not going to want to reconstitute it. Heard. Thank you. Thank you, Jared. 30 minutes to go. Jackie, what are you making?
I’m going to make a Spanish version cheeseburger. Oh. Really, Jackie? A Spanish cheeseburger? Is that even a thing? What are you doing? What’s going on there? What’s going to make it Spanish? I’m going to put sausage in it, sardines in it, saffron, paprika. You know what, guys, I think we need
To help out Jackie real quick. What about albondigas– or the Spanish meatballs, or– Yeah, that’s what I was thinking of, Spanish meatballs. There you go. I’ve cooked Spanish food. I have never cooked food from Spain. I wish I would have gotten Italian. There’s seven minutes to go. Seven minutes, guys, you hear that?
Dannie, what are you making? I’m doing a coconut lemon grass broth. I’m going to do bison two ways, I believe one in a roll and one with a sauce on the side. I know that everyone’s looking at me to see whether or not I can hang with the blue team.
Dannie, you need help? You’re good? – I’m good. – You sure? I hope so. Five minutes to go, guys. Just under five, guys. Everybody ready to plate? – [inaudible] – Jackie, watch your meatballs. Yes. Somebody have free hands real quick? 60 seconds to go. Come on. – Who needs help?
Who needs help? – I do. – Frank, what do you need? – My sauce. Corner, corner, Frank, it’s coming right now. Here we go. GORDON RAMSAY: Five– A little more greens. GORDON RAMSAY: –four– Here it goes, come behind. GORDON RAMSAY: –three– Thank you. GORDON RAMSAY: –two, one, and serve.
Today, I’ll be judging your dishes head-to-head. And obviously the team with the most points wins. Let’s start off with the flank steak. Let’s go. Going down. Come on, Amanda. GORDON RAMSAY: Let’s go. I’m feeling confident. I have experience with Italian cuisine. Amanda, bring it on. Chad, describe the dish.
I have the flank steak– did a Fiorentina style with truffled cannellini beans and blood orange gremolata. Nailed the protein– Thank you, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: –really well. That is delicious. Brilliant job. Thank you, Chef. Manda, describe the dish, please. I have for you a grilled flank steak with a pappardelle pasta
With tomato cream sauce. I don’t get the garnish. Because you wouldn’t really serve that kind of pasta with a red meat like that. Yeah. Point to the red team. Well done, Chad. Thank you, Chef. – Yes, Chad. – Go, Chad. First challenge in the red team and I’m bouncing back. Good job, Chad.
Getting out of my slump. Next up, the ground bison, using Spanish ingredients. Come on, Jackie. You’ve got this, Bob. Wow. Look at that. Jared, explain the dish, please. Chef, I gave you albondigas that has chorizo, red wine, and kale. Meatballs– beautifully done, authentic. Thank you, Chef. Jackie. Today, Chef, I have Spanish meatballs
With a romesco, manchego, little bit of parsley on top. That meatball’s dry. Such a shame. Point goes to Jared. Congratulations, well done, Jared. Good job, Jared. The top sirloin. Let’s go. – Come on, Kristin. – Come on, Kristin. Come on, Frankie. NARRATOR: With the score tied, Kristin’s top sirloin au poivre–
GORDON RAMSAY: You’ve cooked it beautifully here. NARRATOR: –gets a tres bon from the chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Good job. NARRATOR: But Frank’s pan-seared top sirloin with roasted Brussels sprouts– Frank, bison’s cooked beautifully. Thank you, Chef. NARRATOR: –also makes a good impression. It’s a tough one. Kristin, point to you.
Frank, point to you as well. Good job, both of you. – Thank you, Chef. – Well done. – Good job, Kristin. – Good job. Welcome back, Frank. Thank you, Chef. Next up, one of my favorite cuts, the ribeye. – Yeah, Joe. – Come on, Ariel. Come on, Ariel.
NARRATOR: Ariel’s Japanese ribeye with bok choy and noodle salad– Delicious. I mean really delicious. NARRATOR: –gets a very favorable critique. I mean, it’s like being in a Japanese grill in Kyoto. NARRATOR: And Joe’s pan-seared ribeye with sauteed daikon radish– This is beautiful. Absolutely spot-on. Thank you, Chef. NARRATOR: –is also well received.
Tough one, this one. Point goes to both of you. Great job. Well done. Thank you, Chef. Thank you, Chef. Tied– 3-3. Let’s go to the battle of the fillets. Last pairing. – Come on, Dannie. You got this, Dannie. Come on, Ashley. I’m happy to drive the blue team to victory.
So red team definitely had better watch out. All right, Dannie, describe your dish. For you, grilled bison. And then you have bison spring rolls. Bison’s cooked beautifully. Pretty good job, indeed. Thank you, Chef. Ashley, describe the dish, please. What I have for you is a shrimp pad thai. Why pad thai?
I don’t associate pad thai with a fillet. I was trying to take a little bit of a risk. I feel like the sauce is good with the bison itself. Beautifully conceptualized. I actually think that I’m back in Bangkok. Really delicious. That’s a tough one. Two unique dishes. Very hard, indeed.
The point goes to– NARRATOR: In the final round of the cooking with bison challenge– That’s a tough one. NARRATOR: The score is tied. Two unique dishes. NARRATOR: It’s now up to either Ashley or Dannie’s Thai-infused bison fillet to win the challenge for their team. The point goes to both of you.
Well done. – Thank you, Chef. Seriously. Well done. Back in line. Nice job. Yeah, Dannie. Tied. I’m going to give it to the best dish– the dish that nailed everything. This is hard. Really hard. Congratulations, Chad. Well done. [cheering] Yes. This is my bounce back. I’m getting back in the saddle.
This is a great way to show the red team– I’m here, I mean business, and I’m ready to work with you guys. You had the right garnish with the right cut. That’s what I like to see– that level of intuition coming into play. Good job. Chef. This sucks. Red team, congratulations. Well done.
ALL: Thank you, Chef. You’re in for a big treat. You’re going to meet some Hollywood actors. How many of you have seen “The Hangover”? If it’s Bradley Cooper, I’m going to [bleep].. How many of you have seen “We Bought a Zoo”? Yes, I’ve seen that. Yeah, I’ve seen it.
These are just a few of the films these actors have appeared in. You’re heading to meet– I’ll get a beer with B Coops and Matt Damon. You’re all heading to meet Hollywood animals. These are special animals actors. You’re going to feed tigers. Oh, my god. I’m not doing that. That’s not a reward.
That’s a [bleep] death sentence. Oh, there’s one more thing. All of you getting your very own top of the line Vitamix blenders. – No way. Oh, my god. GORDON RAMSAY: There we are. That’s a brand new Vitamix. Are you kidding me? Best trophy ever. Red team to the dorm. Congratulations, well done.
Chad, Chad, what an impact. Good job. Thank you, Chef. Blue team. I decided to give the bakers a day off. So I want all the bread beautifully baked. You start off with grinding the wheat by hand. And what is fresh bread without handmade butter– the old-fashioned way?
Your freshly baked bread is going to go with tonight’s very special service. It’s going to be Cowboy Steak Night. If that’s not enough, there’s quite a large potent stench coming from the Bison’s pee, so the carpet needs shampooing. Thanks a lot, bison Jack. Stupid bison. Filthy animal. Exactly.
It’s degrading, cleaning up Buffalo pee. Feel like a [bleep] private. What’s that smell? Have fun, guys. Jared, you missed a spot. Have fun cleaning up that bison pee. All right, I’ll see you later. I’ll save a spot for you to clean when you get back. Sucks. Does anybody have a tranquilizer gun ready?
Oh, jeez. Welcome to Hollywood Animals. This is crazy. We’ll meet some exotic animals. Come on my way. I’m going to die. This is so crazy. We’ll come over here in our little safe zone. I get to pet a tiger. This is so exciting. Anika is a year-and-four-month-old mix Siberian Bengal tiger.
She’s about 175 pounds. So who wants to go first? – Me. – I do. – OK. Good luck. I mean, who doesn’t want to play with a tiger, right? So use your meat up there. Now pull your meat back. There you go. Claws are like– I know. Now go ahead and pay her.
Good girl. Nice. Honestly, if you’re scared, I wouldn’t suggest doing that. Why? Because it’s a [bleep] tiger. Can you chill out? I’m chill. No, you’re not. I am deathly afraid of animals. Does she get nervous when people are really scared of her? No, she gets excited. Yeah, she’s like, someone might be nervous.
I can capitalize on this. Oh. OK. I’ve never been this scared in my life. I’ve had people pull guns out on me in my face. And I was not even nowhere near as scared as I am right now. Now, tell her, sit. Sit. Sit. OK. It’s just a tiger, don’t worry. Yeah.
This is how white people die all the time. And yeah, that was me today. I was the dumb white bitch [bleep] feeding a tiger with a stick. Nice long, firm strokes. NARRATOR: While Jackie is still deciding whether she is enjoying her reward, back in Hell’s Kitchen
The blue team is busy churning out their punishment. I’m sweating profusely. Oh, man. My ceramic broke into the butter. What the [bleep]? All right, switch to the other one. My mother always said I have the Midas touch. But instead of everything turning to gold, it turns [bleep].
Oh you got to be kidding me. What? Another piece of [bleep] ceramic chipped off. I wasn’t even doing it that hard. So this is Bambam. He’s a 14-year-old grizzly bear. Can you say hi? He’s the coolest bear ever. You guys ready to give him a kiss? – Yes. – Yeah? OK.
You’re going to walk up to Chris. He’s going to hand you a treat. You’re going to put it in your lips, not your mouth. Just on your lips. You’re going to walk right up to him, let him take it, then step back out. I heard ’80s music. I leaned in. He leaned in.
This is the best bear kiss I’ve ever had. Yeah. Pretty sure every kiss from now on is going to have to involve marshmallows. Here we go. NARRATOR: Coming up– when the red team has a heart-to-heart with Jackie– We cannot carry you through challenges, bro. NARRATOR: –Jackie reveals a secret.
I’ve only been cooking for three months. NARRATOR: After a unique rewarding day of petting tigers and kissing bears, the red team– Wedge salad down. Wedge salad– bada bing. All of this. And then bada bing. NARRATOR: –and the blue team are prepping Chef Ramsay’s special menu for Cowboy Steak Night.
Crab cocktail, wedge salad– straightforward. Tomahawk, porterhouse, Wellington– we’ve got a whole new menu, baby. This night should honestly go super smooth. Our menu is actually smaller. Ranchers aren’t even really picky people, right? They just want their steak and their [bleep] mac and cheese. Red team, line up, please. ALL: Yes, Chef. Quick.
Blue team, line up, please. Quickly. Tonight– Steak Night– is a big night, OK? Think about it this way– this year’s winner is going to become the head chef at BLT Steak at Bally’s in Vegas. Show me that you belong at BLT. Clear? ALL: Yes, Chef. – Let’s go.
If there’s ever one night in Hell’s Kitchen to perform, tonight’s the night. Right. Where the [bleep] did Marino go? You are kidding me. What in the [bleep] is he doing? Howdy, Chef. Oh, my god. Giddy up on open Hell’s Kitchen. Marino, please. Yee haw! [whip crack]
NARRATOR: It’s Cowboy Steak Night in Hell’s Kitchen. And as hungry herds of customers fill up the dining room– Cheers. The scallops. NARRATOR: –Chef Ramsay has rounded up some classic steaks for tonight’s menu, along with a wedge salad, crab cakes, and a king crab cocktail. Here’s the order for Stacey Dash.
Stacey Dash– thank you. VIP, watch this table. Stacey Dash. Yes, actress. Four cups at table 32, two crab cakes she’s got. ALL: Yes, Chef. Hurry up. I’m just dropping these scallops, baby. I’m a little worried about Chad on the red team. We just found our flow during service.
And we need Chad to be on the same page with us. Chef, I’m walking the scallops to the pass-thru right now, Chef. Walking crab cakes. Hot, hot, hot. Right behind you, Chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Nice. Service, please. NARRATOR: With a confident start by Ariel and Chad
On appetizers, food is already being delivered to red diners. And Chef Ramsay is ready with the blue team’s first ticket. Here we go, blue team. Let’s go, four cups at table 22, two scallops, two crab cakes. Yes, ALL: Chef. Let’s go. Crab cakes– how long? – Three minutes out. – Excellent. Good.
Can I drop these scallops down, Jared? Dannie, no more “can I?” Just say it. All right? Demand it. As a boxer, I don’t see anyone as intimidation. I don’t care if they’re men. I need to be on top of everything and patrol my station tonight. That’s perfect. I’m actually completely good right now.
– You’re good? – Yep. They look good. Thank you. Dannie, crab cakes in the window. Scallops, move. – Yes, Chef. Scallops walking. – Hurry up. – Right behind. – Service, please. Table one, yes? First time. First time, right? I know. We’re going to make it happen. On order– VIP, yes? ALL: Yes, Chef.
Professional volleyball player. Watch this table, please. Four cups at table 41, two scallops, two crab cocktails. ALL: Yes, Chef. Let’s go. NARRATOR: While the blue team is successfully delivering appetizers to their happy diners– Great. Very good. How is everything here so far? NARRATOR: –there is one table in the red dining room–
Mine are a little bit salty. NARRATOR: –that is less than happy with their appetizers. Madame? It’s a little undercooked for you? Yeah. OK. Thank you. Chef, Stacey Dash– too salty. Both of them undercooked. Oh, man. Red team, scallops back. Stacey Dash, who cooked these? I cooked them, Chef.
[bleep] I need a solid minute for the refire on the scallops, Chef. NARRATOR: While Ariel starts over on the scallops, back on the blue side– – Dannie, scallops– how long? – I’ve got two scallops. 30 seconds to the window. NARRATOR: –a steady flow of appetizers is leaving the kitchen.
Walking my cocktails, Chef. Behind. Right behind. Good. Service, please. Usually I can’t stand working with women. But having Dannie on the team is great. NARRATOR: As the blue team continues to satisfy their diners– That’s delicious. Very good. NARRATOR: –in the red kitchen– How are you doing, Ariel? Good, these scallops are [bleep] perfect.
NARRATOR: –Ariel is ready with her refire on their VIP table. I’m walking the scallops to the pass-thru right now, Chef. When you get yelled at for messing something up in the kitchen, the only thing that there is time for is to correct the mistake and get the food out.
Right behind, right behind, right behind. Oh, [bleep] me. Red team, come here. Refired– Stacy Dash. Yes, Chef. Now they’re overcooked. I’ve never seen such a [bleep] embarrassment. Start again. Ariel, what have you got, first scallops, two minutes? Yo, I’m refiring the scallops, I suck. Kristin, flip them.
I don’t have time to flip them. I’m doing your garnish. You’re [bleep] kidding me, bro. You need to hold on to the spatula, get these scallops out of the pan, and walk your happy ass to the [bleep] pass. Scallops– where are they? Oh, [bleep] me. They’re all stuck to the pan. Scallops– now.
And I mean now. Yes, Chef. I’m refiring. Now it’s beyond a joke. That is [bleep] it. NARRATOR: It’s 45 minutes into Cowboy Steak Night. And Ariel’s repeated struggle with the scallops– They’re all stuck to the pan. Scallops– now. And I mean now. NARRATOR: –has completely stalled the red kitchen.
Yes, Chef, I’m refiring all of the scallops. Now it’s beyond a joke. That is [bleep] it. Red team, come here. This, to me, is basic [bleep]. Can someone get on the fish station and [bleep] help you– now? – All right. – Let’s go. Somebody get over there. I’ll take all hot apps.
At the rate Ariel is going through scallops, they might go extinct. Make sure it’s quality. We’re not refiring any more tickets. – No. – Got it. – Walking with scallops. – Yeah, come on, then. Hurry up. Yes, Chef. Service, please, John. NARRATOR: Thanks to Jackie, the fish station has recovered.
Ladies? How are we doing? – Much better. – Yes? – Much better. – Perfect. NARRATOR: In the blue kitchen– Walking with char. Right behind, hot. NARRATOR: Dannie on fish and Frank on meat– Walking Wellingtons right now. NARRATOR: –are relying on Joe to deliver on garnish. – Mash. – All right, Chef.
Coming, Chef. Ten seconds. Why is he tossing the mash? Walking mash. What is that? You’ve got dark stuff, white stuff, cream stuff, bits that aren’t mixed. You don’t start tossing it, flipping like a [bleep] pancake. – Are you kidding me? Why the [bleep] is he helping you? It’s just [bleep] mashed potatoes. Hey.
That was really difficult, that. NARRATOR: After a short delay from Joe and his mashed potatoes– Got your sides, yeah? Go, please. NARRATOR: –the blue team is ready to move on to their next ticket. Entree– two ribeye, two arctic char. ALL: Yes, Chef. Behind, behind, behind. NARRATOR: Meanwhile, back in the red kitchen–
Scallops to the pass, Chef, on your right. NARRATOR: –Ariel seems to be back in control. And appetizers are now flying out of the kitchen. Service, please, go. NARRATOR: And the red team is ready to fire their first entrees. Entree– two ahi tunas, two ribeyes. ALL: Yes, Chef. – Jackie, you have a second?
Can you come wash this tuna for me? Yeah. Ariel thinks that I have secret powers– I have fire hands. And now I’m just going to be like– and [bleep] cook everything. Watch that, Jackie. I got it, don’t worry about it. Make sure they don’t overcook. They’re still cold in the middle.
How long on those two tuna? One minute. Don’t leave that in there too long, now. Ahi tuna? Ribeye? Walking with two ribeye. Two tuna walking. Right behind you, Chef. All right, next. All right, red team– no, not next. Come here, all of you. What is happening here? Ribeye looks like it’s boiled.
Apart from that, it’s raw. And we’re going from one extreme to the other. Because I’ve got [bleep] burnt tuna. Jackie, what the [bleep] is that, bro? If you can’t figure out what the [bleep] you’re supposed to do, you’re not helping me. Go back to your station.
Just tell me how we can [bleep] something so simple up. Refire two ribeye, two ahi tuna. Just hurry up. Let’s go. NARRATOR: While the red team starts over on their first entrees– Walking to the window with ribeye NARRATOR: –over in the blue kitchen, Frank on meat and Dannie on fish– Char.
NARRATOR: –are delivering their second order of entrees. – Fries, please. – More fries? Yeah, more fries. NARRATOR: And once again, are waiting on Joe. Fries are one minute out. Fries are one minute out. [bleep] hell. Hey. Come here. What’s going? I’m doing my best, Chef. I’m trying to bounce back. What is going?
Because I don’t mind you bouncing back. But I need you bouncing back knowing what the [bleep] you are doing. Two Wellingtons, two chars coming up. No. No. Two ribeye, two arctic char. Two ribeye, two char. I heard, Chef. Two ribeye, two char. I heard, Chef. – Hurry up. – All right, man.
I’m doing the best I can. You want [bleep] fast? I’m trying to give it to you fast. Ribeye going cold. I think the best thing I can do is just grab the bootstraps, [bleep] lace them up, because I’ll be [bleep] if I let it get to the point where I’m serving
Up undercooked French fries. 15 seconds, Chef. – Fries. Bounce, bounce, bounce. Let’s go. Walking with the garnish, Chef. Walking with garnish. Oh, my god. Can someone tell Joe what’s wrong with these fries? Hey. Look, not even drained. And look at the grease. This is really happening right now. And you’re eating.
That makes me even more angry. Look at the grease. Look at the grease. Hey. Nothing is coming out. Nothing. I don’t care what [bleep] excuse. Nothing’s coming out. OK? All right, Chef. I got it. Thank you. Joe, what do you need a hand with? He needs a hand with his confidence.
Garnish is one minute out, Chef. NARRATOR: While Joe and the blue team start over on their order, back in the red kitchen– Two ribeye, two ahi tuna. I’m running it now. NARRATOR: –Ariel and Ashley are ready with their second attempt on their first entree. Oh, man. Yeah, all of you.
[bleep] this is rough. This is rough. It’s the same mistake again. It’s just raw. This ship is sinking right now. And you’ve got no paddles, you’ve got a hole in the boat, and no bucket to get the water out. It’s just white fat. [bleep] raw. Enough’s enough. I’m done altogether. [bleep] off.
Get out. Get out. NARRATOR: It’s two hours into Cowboy Steak Night– Yeah, all of you. NARRATOR: –and Ashley’s poor performance on the meat– [bleep] raw. NARRATOR: –is the last straw for Chef Ramsay. [bleep] off. Get out. Get out. What the [bleep] happened? I know, what the [bleep] happened? Why did everyone– [bleep]
NARRATOR: Meanwhile, in the blue kitchen– Yeah, that’s beautiful. Good job. Let’s go. One minute out on that ribeye. One minute out. Hurry, hurry. NARRATOR: –it’s all hands on deck to help Joe navigate the garnish station. There are four individuals on the garnish. This is just bananas.
But we have to do something to save this station, because if we don’t, we’re getting kicked out of the kitchen. Where’s the garnish for the ribeye? In my hands, Chef. Garnish for two ribeye. – [inaudible] Walking char. Walking to the window with ribeye. Go, please. NARRATOR: Finally, patient patrons
Are receiving their food. – Cool, guys keep it up. Keep it up. You guys, keep pushing. Thanks for your help, Jared. Keep pushing, buddy. NARRATOR: And the blue team is fast approaching the finish line. Jared, can I walk with the other two garnishes? Yeah, Joe, they’re coming out right now.
Heard. Walking up garnishes. I want you to go walking first, and then I’ll follow with char. Hey, Wellington walking to the pass right now. Garnish walking. Service, please, go. Thank you. I’m so excited. Lay it down. Thanks, Jared. That was a total– that was the worst service we’ve ever had.
I don’t know what the [bleep] happened. Where was the major breakdown in service? The meat and the fish you’re supposed to push, especially on a night like this, where we’re so heavy on meat and fish. OK. Ariel and Ashley. Yeah I’m voting for them, too. Because service [bleep] sucked.
Meat– the hardest part was just making the steak perfect. Yeah, you weren’t searing them correctly. I know how to cook a [bleep] steak, dude. But you didn’t do it today. Meat and fish [bleep] up. And that’s it. Yeah, meat and fish.
I am telling you, I am not the weakest person on this team. Absolutely [bleep] not. Well, who do you think the team’s stronger without? I can promise you it’s not myself and Ariel. We’re definitely two of the strongest people here. Yeah, but if those two stations would’ve went OK,
We wouldn’t have [bleep] got kicked out of the kitchen. This is the first dinner service I’ve struggled at all. And the burnt tuna was not me. OK, well, I didn’t do nothing wrong. A big part is when you come to help people, you have to actually be able to help them.
Jackie is not a strong enough person to come into a station and help. If you’re going to come into a station and help, you need to hold down that station. Ariel, what do you think? Two weakest people on the team. I’d say Ashley and Jackie. Ashley and Jackie. You’d say me? Yes, Jack.
I would say you. Ashley, who you think are the two weakest people on the team right now? – Those two. Kristen. I vote Jackie and Ariel. Ashley is a stronger cook than you. She’s not a stronger cook than me. She brings a little bit more to the table than you.
So you really think she’s more creative than me? Yeah. Get the [bleep] out of here. She’s not. Everything I cooked today was [bleep] perfect. And then I try to [bleep] help everybody and then they want to throw me in? I mean, come the [bleep] on.
It’s baffling to me that my name would even be mentioned. What are you voting for? Based on this service, I would say Jackie. Why are you voting for me? Who do you want me to vote for? Them two. They [bleep] up service and made us lose.
They [bleep] kill it in service every [bleep] time. When you are in service, you shine as a cook. Challenges is where you shine as a chef. We cannot carry you through challenges, bro. I’ve only been cooking for three months. Wait a minute, what? Jackie’s only been cooking for three months?
Everyone else has been cooking forever. We deserve this. And obviously Jackie doesn’t. But that means you’re not ready for BLT. I got [bleep]—- Oh, yeah? I’m ready for BLT. I’ve got seven years on you and six months. I’ve worked way less anywhere than all these people.
And I can [bleep] successfully do every station and nobody else can. Well, how am I going up? I mean, that’s completely ridiculous. You know what, [bleep] all of them, really. I just hate it that we can’t choke people here. Unbelievable. It’s just unbelievable. That was terrible. Red team, have you reached a consensus?
ALL: Yes, Chef. Good. Jackie, red team’s first nominee and why. My first nominee is Ariel. The fish station completely collapsed. The scallops– or everything was just bad. Red team’s second nominee and why. They voted for me. – They voted for you? – Yes. Why? I really don’t know.
I believe it should have been Ashley. Because if I was on either one of those stations, I would have ran it way better. We chose Jackie, Chef because of her lack of progress. It doesn’t help us to have to be creative for her. We have to carry her most of the way, Chef.
That’s not true, Chef. What a mess. Jackie, Ariel, step forward. Ariel, let’s be honest– your worst performance. Chef. Why do you think you should stay in Hell’s Kitchen? Chef, I think I should say in Hell’s Kitchen, because I’m passionate. I’m intuitive. I’m strong. I’m decisive. And I’m a leader.
I don’t think one service should dictate me leaving Hell’s Kitchen. You struggled. Big time. Very disappointed. – Heard, Chef. – Very. Jackie. Yes, Chef. Why do you deserve to stay in Hell’s Kitchen? I can cook a scallop. I can sear a steak. I’m a natural-born leader.
I mean, I know I could run BLT. I shouldn’t even be up here, Chef. It was meat and fish that died today. The person leaving Hell’s Kitchen is– NARRATOR: After one of their worst services in quite some time, the red team has nominated Ariel and Jackie for elimination. The person leaving Hell’s Kitchen–
Joe. Give me your jacket. Joe, unfortunately, you are not ready to be the next head chef at BLT. Service after service after service, I’m not seeing any change. Yes, Chef. Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity, Chef. It was a pleasure. Hell’s Kitchen was much more grueling than I could have ever imagined.
It’s easy to be an armchair quarterback when you’re sitting at home watching it, going, yeah, I can make a risotto. It’s a much different story when you’re in the line of fire with Chef Ramsay up your rear end. If ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
And I’m the one out here right now, so I’m the one that’s got to take it on the chin. Ariel, Jackie– Yes, Chef. Back in line. Thank you, Chef. Thank you, Chef. The field has been cut in half. Now is the time to get your [bleep] together. Is that clear? ALL: Yes, Chef.
Now [bleep] out of it. This is crazy. All the fat has been trimmed. And strong people are about to be going home. I’m upset with myself that I had my worst service ever. I just have to work as hard as I know that I can work,
And just every day keep pushing myself further. Holy [bleep]. Do I think I’m the weakest on my team? No. In service I kill it. Every time. I’m so pissed I can’t even tell you what I want to do. I’ll get arrested for even saying it.
GORDON RAMSAY (VOICEOVER): Joe had an amazing taste profile and was a standout in challenges. Unfortunately for him, dinner services were just out of his reach. NARRATOR: Next up on Hell’s Kitchen– after 14 seasons of epic battles– You don’t have the balls to take over. – Shut the [bleep] up! – Listen to me!
You’d better get out of my face. Idiot. God. NARRATOR: You are not going to believe what is coming next. Put your hands on me. Jackie. You witnessed Elise versus Carrie. You’d better get out of my face. NARRATOR: You were shocked by Milly versus Brendan. You can’t even burn [bleep] Milly.
NARRATOR: And you were amazed by Joseph versus Chef Ramsay. Let’s go step outside. You’re going to be the bitch. NARRATOR: But it’s time to get ready– Give me your lighter. You’re a disgusting-ass bitch. NARRATOR: For an all-out war between Kristin– Get the [bleep] out of my face. NARRATOR: –and–
What are you going to do about it? NARRATOR: Jackie. – Get out of my face. Put your hands on me. No. No, bitch. Crazy? Deranged? NARRATOR: Next time on Hell’s Kitchen.
