Hell's Kitchen

Previously, on "Hell's Kitchen--"

You're all flying to New York City,

to see BLT Steak firsthand.

Big Apple! Woo!

Chef Ramsay surprised the chefs

with an inspirational trip to New York City.

Wow!

I'm ready to go all the way and become Head Chef at BLT today.

When they returned, the chefs were randomly

given an ethnic cuisine.

And the ethnic cuisine is?

- Jamaican. - Chinese.

- Mexican. - French.

Good luck!

And were challenged to be as creative as possible.

The spirit of Sonto be with me.

What the heck is this? Chef Ramsay decided.

The best dish would win it for their team.

King of the hill.

And that dish belonged to--

Jennifer.

Good job.

At dinner service, in the blue kitchen--

Natalie!

Natalie had her worst dinner service yet.

Bass, returned! Dry!

I don't know what I'm doing.

You hit the nail on the head there.

In the red kitchen--

You guys need to work together right now.

Jennifer was the lone voice of sanity,

as Elise picked a fight with the blue kitchen.

Did you or did you not score the first tray of Wellingtons?

No. Hook my up to a polygraph.

I'm telling you the damn truth. - Yeah.

And Elizabeth came unglued.

Four minutes on this cod, chef.

- That's the best that ya-- - I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, chef. I'm sorry, chef.

I'm sorry, chef. It's my fault, chef.

I'm very sorry, chef.

Get it together!

In the end, both teams were forced to nominate

one person for elimination.

Ultimately, the red team chose-- - Elise, chef.

And the blue team selected--

Natalie, Chef.

And Chef Ramsay decided.

Natalie, you are not ready to run BLT Steak.

Please give me your jacket.

Extinguishing her dreams of becoming Head Chef

at BLT Steak in New York City.

Yes!

And now, the continuation of "Hell's

Kitchen."

Get out of here.

I saw that coming.

I'm so grateful to be here another day.

I had a bad night tonight.

But tomorrow's going to be a new day.

I'm going to put this behind me and move

forward with my best foot.

I hope that my team does that too.

We're down to six people, y'all.

This is going to be like, a high-intensity day.

And I need to calm down.

Yesterday night, that was a fluke.

I know I will not be frazzled again.

No matter what.

Elizabeth has this weird like, track record,

where she just like, panics.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, chef.

I'm sorry, chef. I'm sorry, chef.

It's my fault, chef.

I'm very sorry, chef.

I'm sorry, chef.

At this stage of the game, that cannot be happening.

I just want to shake her.

It just scares me that I was capable of fucking up so much.

I didn't think I had that in me.

After one of their weaker dinner services,

both teams are eager for redemption.

Let's go.

And Chef Ramsay is eager to test them.

Right, good morning.

Good morning, chef.

You know as a chef, every day we're

always fighting the clock.

You saw my frustrations last night on service, where

your timing's been out of sync.

That is what your next challenge is all about.

Each team will be making three stunning dishes.

One chef from each team will be making a 30-minute entree.

One chef from each team will be making a 20-minute entree.

And then finally, one chef from each team

will be making a 10-minute entree.

All dishes must hit the pass together, at precisely

the 30-minute mark.

The team with the best dishes wins the challenge.

You now have one minute to decide

on who's cooking what entree.

Off you go.

30/20/10.

You got it.

I gave Tommy the 30, because Tommy is more of a thinker.

Will can think quick on his feet,

and I just took the middle.

I don't think I should do 10.

I think I should do either 30 or 20.

I jumped on the 30-minute dish because I know

I can't cook in 10 minutes.

The way my mind works, it's not the best place for me.

Do you feel like you can do 10?

I-- I can do 10 minutes.

Red team, blue team, are you ready?

Yes, chef.

Your 30 minutes starts now.

Hurry up!

Go, go, go, go, go, go.

Go, go, go!

For this next challenge,

Chef Ramsay is testing the chefs' ability

to work within time limits.

Each team must create a 30-minute, 20-minute,

and 10-minute entree.

Come on, Tommy.

I'm already on it.

Though there will be three different start times,

all three dishes must be completed and arrive

at the pass at the same time.

Jennifer!

What's over there?

Is there pancetta over there?

That first tray with the mushrooms, that's not pancetta?

I jumped on the 30-minute dish because I

need that time to think.

Jennifer, are you using mushrooms?

Are there Hen of the Woods over there?

That one's not Hen of the woods, at the end?

No, it looks like a shiitake.

Shut the fuck up.

I need five freaking minutes to figure out what I'm doing.

Anything we can use?

Red peppers, oranges, mushrooms.

Oysters is another option you have.

You guys listening? No.

Of course not.

While the women seem focused

on their own individual dishes, over in the blue kitchen--

You need to get your stuff going right now, Tommy.

--the men's focus on one individual, Tommy.

- Tommy, what protein you using? - Lamb.

All right, don't wait on the lamb.

Don't forget to take that fat cap off, Tom.

The whole cap should peel off.

There you go.

There you go.

I'm going to say what I have to say

to try to get a fire under Tommy's ass to make

sure that he's moving on.

I'm the kind of guy that if I have something to say,

I'm going to say it.

Don't forget to talk to him the entire time, all right, bro?

10 minutes into the timing challenge--

20-minute chefs into the kitchen.

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

Elizabeth and Paul are ready to get started

on their 20-minute entrees.

I'm not worried about what I can do in 20 minutes.

It's totally, 100%, game on.

Pauly is going to be on fucking top.

And going to show you why I'm a big deal.

What are you going with, Pauly?

Tomato water, fish, salad.

I'm going to do monkfish.

And I am going to do it with couscous and asparagus.

Get the couscous on right now.

As the chefs race against the clock--

Go!

Last 10 minutes.

--it's time for Will and Elise

to take their shot at creating something

special in 10 minutes.

- Ooh, there's hot pepper. - I don't see shallots.

Where are shallots, Jennifer?

You already done with the mandolin?

Yeah, take it.

Elise, what are you doing?

Spicy calamari.

How's everyone doing?

With time winding down--

I have raw fucking lamb right now.

--Jennifer has made a dire discovery.

Fuck me.

My lamb is not ready yet.

I'm like, freaking out.

This sucks.
