Thanks.
You too.
I think I underestimated Holli.
I thought Ben was my biggest competition, but I can beat her.
Yay! Chef at the Savoy Grill, like, it's right there.
Cheers.
And I will do whatever it takes to win.
Congratulations.
Come here.
Hey, Jay, we're all alone.
[Sensuous music.]
Ahh (announcer) With the biggest dinner service of the finalists lives only a day away, Chef Ramsay has set the morning aside for them to work with their sous Chefs on finalizing their menus.
So you got everything pretty much worked out in your mind? Yeah, I mean, these are things i know are good, and Yeah.
Since the day I walked in the door, I've thought of the finals.
There's a lot of things here in challenges I didn't want to cook, because I didn't want to let all the tricks out of the bag, so I have in my head exactly what I want-- big, bold flavors, but, you know, still very simple techniques.
Just want to keep it really solid and good.
Trying to figure out these mushrooms.
Honestly, I don't know what I'm gonna make on the menu.
I really never saw myself making it this far.
What else goes with that? I don't know.
When I over-plan, it doesn't work for me, so I just go with whatever pops in my head.
Think it needs a little bit of butter.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
(Announcer) After a long day of experimentation and preparation, both Chefs are happy with their menus.
I like it.
It just all came together.
My inspiration for the menu Just things th I love.
I guess you would say french techniques, but it's more California.
What do you think of that? Everything together I think is awesome.
(Andrea) Will you guys line up? (Announcer) With the planning completed, sous Chef Andy has an announcement.
Chef Ramsay has something really special planned for you guys.
So go upstairs and change, dress nice, and then we'll call you when the limo pulls up.
Thank you.
Thank you.
No problem.
That was better news than I thought.
[Bleep.]
.
I'm wearing jeans.
That's all I have.
I'm wearing jeans too.
Chef Ramsay has never really done anything nice for us without a "by the way.
" He may have a nice dinner for us, and then he'll say, "oh, by the way.
" Please, allow me.
Thanks, Jay.
What a gentleman.
going out for a nice time.
No way.
[Tires screech.]
See where we're going.
Thank you very much.
Holli, Jay.
Hi.
Hey, Chef.
How are you? Thank you.
Welcome to London West Hollywood.
The Savoy Grill is under construction, okay, so I wanted to show you firsthand the inner workings of one of my restaurants.
But first I have a surprise for you both.
Come this way.
(Holli) Hotel's beautiful.
I was just thinking, "oh, yeah, this is very pretty, but what the [Bleep.]
Is next?" Thank you.
Chef, come on.
When are you gonna drop the bomb on us? (Gordon) How nice is this? (Holli) Oh, man.
[Cheers and applause.]
(Gordon) Well, say hello, then.
Oh, man.
Unbelievable.
(Jay) Oh, my God.
What is this? Hundreds of people on the roof deck, lights everywhere.
If you were to ever have your heart beat fast, it would be then.
(Both) We love you, Jay! It's crazy.
Your supporters are waiting for you.
Let's go downstairs.
Yes.
Yes? Enjoy.
Come on, get in there.
Holli, you're smokin' hot, baby! Yeah! (Holli) This is kind of cool.
[Laughs.]
I could do with fans.
I like it.
What's up, Jay? Right.
Now, Holli and Jay, you are here to now participate in your final challenge.
Listen carefully.
You've got one hour to cook five stunning dishes.
Considering one of you is gonna end up in London, I thought it would be very appropriate to bring five of my executive Chefs from England to judge your dishes.
(Holli) How much pressure is that? Gave me a [Bleep.]
Ing heart attack.
I'm surprised I didn't fall off the stage.
Are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Follow me.
Let's go.
Let's go.
(Announcer) Working in the kitchen of Chef Ramsay's L.
A.
restaurant, both finalists must prepare five dishes.
Holli and Jay will prepare an amuse-bouche, a cold appetizer, a hot appetizer, a fish entree, and a meat entree.
We're in a culinary frenzy.
Ovens on and pans on and searing this and cooking that.
One hour to cook five dishes for all of his head Chefs in Europe.
I mean, they're gonna be super critical, so it had to be perfect.
Go, Jay, you're the best! Holli! Holli! Holli! I'm freaking trying to cook, like, five dishes in one hour.
And I was nervous.
This could definitely blow up in my face.
(Gordon) Three minutes to go, guys, yes? Yes, Chef.
Three minutes to go, Holli, yes? Okay.
Yes, Chef.
Keep it up, Holli.
Whoo! You can do it.
Come on, Jay! It's a little under, but I think this will be good.
This is done.
Holli! Holli! Holli! Five, four, three, two, one, and stop.
That's it.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome back our Hell's Kitchen finalists, please, Holli and Jay.
(Announcer) For this, the final challenge, each of the five dishes will be judged by one of Chef Ramsay's executive Chefs who have been flown in from London.
Okay, finalists ready, yes? Judging the amuse-bouche, please welcome James durrant, head Chef of maze in London.
Right, Holli, explain to James exactly what it is, please.
Okay, I have a virgin bloody Mary.
I have tomato consomme, and then a worcestershire foam.
And the worcestershire sauce is because james is english and you think he's good looking? Well, of course.
I like the combination of celery, though.
It was smart.
It was very good.
Nice.
Very good.
Good.
Uh, Jay.
This is just a crystal-clear shot if ice-cold tomato water.
Just a little bit of jicama, some bell pepper, and then to sort of represent a Martini, it's a caper Berry.
How is that, James? Very refreshing.
Very nice.
I like the caper in there.
Definitely.
Would it be Jay's or Holli's? For me, I think, um Probably Jay's.
Jay's.
Congratulations.
It's 1-nil to Jay.
(Jay) I got that one, and I was hoping it would set the pace.
Next dish, please.
Our cold appetizers.
To judge that, diego cardoso, the head Chef from murano.
Holli just explain please.
Okay, I have four different types of caviar, and I have a beet glaze and a fenneled frisee salad.
There's a mild, lemon vinaigrette.
The lemon with the caviar, that's fantastic.
Very refreshing.
Good.
Uh, Jay? This is a grilled lamb loin, and it's served over sort of my take on a greek salad.
Feta, some cherry tomatoes, onion.
Now tough--tough decision.
It's really hard, 'cause they're both amazing.
If you had to choose, would it be for Jay or would it be for Holli? Um, I think if I had to go for one of them, I--I'd go for Holli's dish.
Holli's.
Well done.
I was like, "oh, okay.
That's one.
Let's keep going.
" Our next judge for the hot apps round, please welcome clare smyth, from my flagship restaurant.
(Announcer) Clare smyth will decide between Holli's Foie gras This dish works.
It's perfectly balanced.
And Jay's bacon-wrapped scallops.
I think it's a great combination, yeah, scallops and bacon.
Fantastic together.
Which one would you order? I'd have to go with the Foie gras.
Foie gras.
Yay.
Say hello to Steve Allen.
He is the head Chef of claridge's.
Good to see you.
(Announcer) Holli's ahead 2 to 1.
If she takes the fish course, she wins the challenge.
Chef Steve starts with Holli's five-spiced tuna.
It's not too spicy.
You still keep the flavor of the tuna.
I like it.
It's a nice dish.
Excellent.
(Announcer) Next he tries Jay's arctic char.
Flavor's really nice.
I mean, there's nothing overpowering anything there.
You know, the sauce compliments the fish.
Two great dishes again.
Okay, Steve, if you were going out for dinner at the Savoy Grill, which one would you be happy to order? They're both great dishes, but if you're talking savoy London, it's definitely Jay's, yeah? Jay's? Excellent.
Well done.
Well done.
Tie-breaker.
Our final course is our meat entree.
Who better to judge this final dish? Please welcome stuart gillies, Savoy Grill.
Good to see you.
Likewise.
This is for the win.
This is for your potential boss.
The pressure is so immense.
Holli, explain the dish.
I have a seared wagyu fillet.
Blue cheese, pommes puree, and sauteed broccoli rabe.
It's lovely and clean.
You know, I can tell you're a passionate cook.
That's delicious.
Thank you.
You can take it with you.
Stop flirting with our judges.
Excellent.
Good.
Uh, Jay.
This is a grilled kobe New York strip, and then on the side are some grown-up tater tots.
Stuart, how's that for you? Delicious again.
Thank you.
You know, to be honest, Gordon, both of these dishes I would put on the menu at the Savoy.
Absolutely amazing.
Stuart, I'm sorry, but I have to ask you for our winner.
The dish that you would most like to see on the Savoy Grill menu, would it be cooked by Holli, or would it be cooked by Jay? Jay! Jay! Jay! Okay, then the dish will be Um (Announcer) It's the final challenge in Hell's Kitchen, and Holli and Jay are tied 2 to 2.
I'm sorry, but I have to ask you for our winner.
(Announcer) It all comes down to the last dish, judged by Stuart gillies of the Savoy Grill.
The dish will be Jay.
[Cheers and applause.]
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you, Chef.
How you like me now? To win this, it makes me able to relax.
I feel like I'm already, like, a step closer to winning this bitch.
Thank you so much, Holli and Jay.
Thank you, guys.
(Gordon) Back to Hell's Kitchen.
Let's go.
(Holli) It sucks losing this challenge, but when it comes down to it, it's about the dinner service.
The Savoy, it's my [Bleep.]
Ing restaurant, and I'm gonna win it.
(Announcer) Jay wins by a slight edge over Holli in the final challenge, but doesn't have a lot of time to celebrate, because it's back to work at Hell's Kitchen.
Good job tonight, huh? That was a great representation of Hell's Kitchen.
Now here are the Chefs that are gonna fulfill your dream and the most important service ever.
[Holli laughs.]
Hi.
Hey, Siobhan.
Hello, Fran, Nilka, Jason, Ben, and Autumn.
Congratulations.
Yay.
And tonight they're moving back in.
(Announcer) Chef Ramsay has brought back the former Chefs the night before the final dinner service to give Jay and Holli extra time to download their menus to their brigades.
Oh, this is [Bleep.]
Ed up.
This is gonna sound really bad, but I was hoping to sleep with Holli at some point tonight.
[Laughter.]
Nilka, you look great.
Thank you.
Nice jacket.
Thank you.
Fran, what happened? I'm sorry? Have you been on the swan? No, Chef.
You look great.
Siobhan.
I'm sure you're glad to see me.
Oh, come on.
Jay, um, you won the challenge, so the advantage of that is you get to pick first.
I'm gonna pick Benjamin.
Benjamin, please come 'round.
(Benjamin) It sucks that I'm not here cooking in the finals.
There's no doubt I'm a better cook, I'm a better Chef, I'm a better business man than Holli.
Now I really have to bring my game and make sure Jay wins.
Okay, Holli.
First choice is Autumn.
I definitely knew that I'd be picked first or second.
It's like you're the popular kid in school.
And why did you pick Autumn? Jay, second choice.
Take my man big Jason.
Trust.
Jason, you know, a little Moody, a little sort of not there sometimes We don't do that [Bleep.]
Where I'm from! 'Cause you're [Bleep.]
In' ridiculous.
That ain't [Bleep.]
In' me! But I think push comes to shove, Jason is a good cook.
(Jason) Ben and Jay and myself, it's just like the blue team being back again together, and I just think we can't be beat.
Holli, second choice.
[Suspenseful music.]
Nilka.
Nilka.
Why, thank you, honey.
Nilka's back in hk.
I'ma do my damn thing.
Good to see you, my darling.
Good to see you, too.
I'm back, refreshed.
Jay, we gon' blow yo' ass out the water tomorrow.
I'm happy for you.
Jay, two people left.
You're picking for both teams.
Yes, Chef, I am.
Who are you going for? Fran.
Fran, congratulations.
I think Fran is definitely willing to try hard, and that's all I can ask for.
(Gordon) You finally get to work with the boys.
(Fran) I'm willing to do whatever it takes.
I will kill myself to help that man win out there.
Siobhan, come and join Holli.
Oh, I knew I was gonna get picked last.
It sucks in a way, but I was so glad that I'm not on the same team with damn [Bleep.]
Disrespectful, lowlife, [Bleep.]
Ben.
Your sandwich, not good.
That's your personal opinion.
It's not my personal opinion.
This is my professional opinion.
All right, Jay.
Yes, Chef.
Holli.
Take advantage of this time and go through your menus.
Glad to see you.
I'm so glad to see you.
I feel good about my team.
I know they're all gonna try their very hardest.
You made this up yourself? Mm-hmm.
That's what's up.
It's really good.
(Holli) This is a whole w menu.
I created it to make it so pretty much anybody can come in and make it.
I'll prep all the garnish.
Yeah, you prep all the garnish.
You're gonna prep all the meat.
I'll do all the starters.
So the Foie gras too.
I've not cooked foie gras before.
I'm gonna have to help her.
Little nervous about skill level of Siobhan.
For Holli to win, I'm going to have to work fish and garnish and also cover hot and cold apps, um, to help out Siobhan.
Never seen that done before.
It's gonna be a lot of work for me.
(Holli) Autumn, are you okay? I'm fine.
(Jay) Our menu's pretty simple, but the presentation's unbelievable.
(Ben) So we only have applewood bacon to cook? We have aioli, tabasco-soaked cherries and [Indistinct.]
To make? That's it.
That's great.
That's awesome.
I tried to be real smart.
(Fran) Jay has definitely made a menu that is worthy of Hell's Kitchen.
Very nice.
That would be great.
That's crazy.
I feel like everybody's here legitimately for me.
So I'm really happy and proud.
How can they [Bleep.]
In' beat us with this team? We got, like, the a-team, they have, like, the l-team.
We gonna murder 'em.
(Announcer) While the Chefs were sleeping, a design crew went right to work dividing the dining room into two halves.
Tonight's the night to have the perfect service.
Exactly.
(Announcer) And this morning the Chefs begin prepping for the most important dinner service of Jay and Holli's careers.
I'm getting a little nervous.
It's the final day, and there's a lot of [Bleep.]
On the plate right now.
I wanted to show you this, 'cause it worked really well for me.
That's cool.
Show me.
Siobhan is moving so slowly.
Chop down a little here.
Little here.
It's pretty much driving me crazy.
Oh, perfect.
Just like you were doing an apple.
(Autumn) Siobhan just doesn't have the basic training that you need for fine dining cooking.
You think this is gonna come up to a higher boil than that? I mean, it's been on for a while.
Move it to the center where there's more heat, and it'll boil.
Bless her heart.
I hope she saves up enough money one day to go to culinary school, 'cause I think that she needs it.
[Knives tapping.]
Siobhan, you're gonna drive me insane.
So I got the butternut squash in the oven roasting.
(Fran) I think Ben truly wants to help Jay win.
I got potatoes on.
The celery root is on.
I'm just hoping that Ben is not trying to take on too much of the menu, because that could be a downfall.
I think this is gonna come out nicely.
You know better than me.
If I can't compete against Jay, I want to compete with Jay.
I'm starting to get a little concerned about time, so I'll make it work.
Coming down hot.
(Jay) No way this is gonna be even close.
Jay, Holli, you need to go see Chef in his office.
(Jay) Chef in his office.
I'm stressed.
We still have a ton of stuff to do, so I'm nauseous to my stomach right now.
What the [Bleep.]
Is going on? How do you feel? [Sighs.]
I'm nauseous.
I have a feeling something really bad is about to happen.
You're a nervous wreck.
(Gordon) Come on, Holli.
Come in, Jay.
(Announcer) It's 30 minnutes before this season's final dinner service.
You need to go see Chef in his office.
But before Jay and Holli start the biggest night og their lives thank you.
Nauseous.
Chef Ramsay has another important piece of business to take care of.
(Gordon) Come on, Holli.
Come in, Jay.
Thank you, Chef.
Sit down.
Something very important i need to talk to you both about.
I'm sending you both To Australia.
What? For a chance-of-a-lifetime visit to have the most amazing food-and-wine holiday.
Visiting the most amazing winery, the rosemount winery estate.
Gonna be absolutely stunning.
(Holli) To give us these gifts, that is so awesome.
I'm gonna go out there and hang out with Jay.
Like, I couldn't ask for a better time than that.
That sounds amazing.
Thank you very much.
One more very important thing.
Both of you are running your restaurants.
I want you to look like head Chefs.
Holli, here's yours.
Jay, that is yours.
Both of you, good luck.
Thank you, Chef.
Get it going.
Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
Thank you very much.
Well done, my darling.
(Jay) Holli, you may be attractive, however I am going to mop the floor with you and your face.
(Holli) Okay, guys, we're opening in 30.
Get ready to go.
I got to go change.
We're gonna [Bleep.]
Do this.
We're gonna hammer it.
Please, please, please, send everything up perfect the first time.
I need to make this happen right.
Thank you and good luck.
(Jay) I have no question that we'll win this.
I have a super strong team.
I am pretty sure with the aid of Siobhan Holli and their team will meet their demise tonight.
Okay, look, I'm gonna call out the orders as clearly as possible.
Keep the communication-- if I hear silence, we're screwed.
I will be the head Chef of the Savoy after this.
I'm really confident.
I'm scary confident right now.
Nothing's leaving that pass unless it's perfect, but I know you guys can do it.
I know you guys can.
I really know you can.
Teamwork.
Teamwork, teamwork.
Let's do it.
And I'm probably gonna be a bitch, so expect it.
Okay, uh, Jay, two seconds, please? Yes, Chef? Right, Holli.
Yes, Chef? Okay, now, are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Yeah? Are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Good, let's go.
Ready? Shake hands.
Right.
Jean-Philippe? Chef.
Open Hell's Kitchen please.
Let's go.
Yeah? Let's go.
(Announcer) Tonight, Jay and Holli face off to determine who will be the next winner of Hell's Kitchen.
I'm gonna have the Foie gras.
New York sirloin.
Banana cigars for him, please.
Okay.
(Announcer) on each side of the restaurant What do you think you're gonna get? Ahi tuna.
And one superstar Chef roaming the kitchen will decide their fates.
Ladies first.
Here.
Good.
Here we go.
Okay, four-- cover--table four.
I mean table 42, four covers, four amuse-bouche, one "four gras"-- one Foie gras.
Three lobster.
Yes, Chef.
Okay, guys, listen up.
First up, four amuse.
Yes, Chef.
Two scallops, two Foie gras desserts, please.
(Jason) Yes, Chef.
Two Foie gras.
Heard.
This is the biggest moment of my life.
My adrenaline's going.
It's, you know, the most I have to gain, but also the most I have to lose.
So just two ounces, Ben.
Two ounces.
(Announcer) Jay's team has gotten off to a strong start on their first ticket, and over in the red kitchen, Holli's looking for her crew to do the same.
I'm waiting for four amuse-bouche.
Yes, Chef.
(Siobhan) I'm taking full control of the starter station, but my station has got a lot of [Bleep.]
Going on with it, but I'm still gonna stay calm, because that's just the best way to work.
Give me that amuse.
(Gordon) Come on, girls.
Let's go, yeah? Please? Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Come on.
Why's that taking so long for her to make? 'Cause she's taking forever.
Okay, you got to watch these.
They keep falling in.
I can remake 'em.
Okay, don't fill 'em so high.
I can't serve those.
Please make me another one.
Now please.
Yes, Chef! Come on, guys.
Please, Siobhan.
So right off the bat, Siobhan was having problems with the amuse-bouche.
Like, what the [Bleep.]
Is going on? Holli, how is that one? Fine.
Is that okay? Like that? Okay.
You shouldn't be struggling with amuse-bouche.
That's got to go straight out there, yes? (Announcer) While Siobhan has already put Holli behind, over in the blue kitchen, Jay is hoping that Fran keeps the momentum in his kitchen going.
Two scallops, to foie.
Fran, make 'em nice for me, yeah? (Benjamin) Fran, make sure you have enough oil in your pan.
Yes, sir.
So you can get a really good sear on those.
Yes, sir.
Otherwise it doesn't cook evenly.
I understand.
We want to win for Jay, and Jay wants to win.
This is it.
This is what we all came here for.
How long, Fran? Why--I have a problem.
It's gonna be another four minutes.
I think they were black.
Four minutes.
I was really, really afraid of Fran.
I knew her heart was there and I knew she wanted to do well for me, but she was not giving me a good sense that she had a clue what was going on.
I think it got too hot too fast.
You have your sauce, right? The truffle sauce? Fran.
All right, yes or no? No, not yet.
[bleep.]
.
(Announcer) While Fran starts over on the scallops, back in the red kitchen, Siobhan is delivering her first appetizer to the pass.
You guys, I need the veg right now for the lobster please.
(Announcer) Unfortunately, something is missing.
Where's the lobster veg? Did you do the lobster veg? No.
What's going on here with this food dragging here, guys? (Holli) Lobster veg.
Come on, you guys.
I'm sorry.
I missed that one.
You can't give her the lobster with no garnish.
Come on, please.
All right, I'm doing the veg.
It's coming.
It was too hard for Siobhan to do the amuse-bouches and the apps at the same time.
And since I am the strongest, I had to try and help her out.
Guys, this lobster's gonna get cold.
I need those veg.
Chef, it's my fault.
Oh, come-- where's my zucchini? It's the first table, guys.
You guys, where's the zucchini? Mix it up.
I didn't know what was going on.
Come on, guys.
How long? Scallops coming right now.
Scallops, Chef.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
Guys are doing awesome.
First ticket out perfectly.
Chef Ramsay's right in front of you, watching you.
I mean, it's really, really stressful.
It's like one mistake could be it.
Okay, let's do the rest perfectly.
(Announcer) Fran has fought her way back, and is now pushing out appetizers.
And Jay's customers are the satisfied recipients.
Very good.
That was really good.
Yeah.
(Announcer) Meanwhile, in the red kitchen I want the Foie gras, and I want that brioche.
Hope this brioche is good.
Holli is trying to make up for lost time on her appetizers.
Foie and the brioches right here.
Thank you.
Brioche, no, I'm sorry.
Nilka.
No good? Toast that again.
Okay.
That looks like crap.
Keep this warm.
Don't let it die.
Well spoken.
Come on, guys.
It's their second and third table now.
Come on, Siobhan.
Let's go.
Yes, Chef.
(Announcer) Despite the red team's sluggish start Brioche to the window, Chef.
Here we go.
This is table 30.
(Announcer) Holly maintains her standards, and appetizers slowly make their way out to the diners.
Mm! Is it good? Meanwhile, over in the blue kitchen, Jay's team continues to be on a roll.
Looking for lamb, Jason.
Yes, Chef.
Okay, and then right behind it, we're gonna do a foie de lamb.
Jason, why is this like this? Excuse me? 'Cause it was raw? You can't serve that, dude.
Come on.
What's wrong? It's got to be sliced nice and rare.
Okay.
The lamb got pulled out too early.
Come on.
Just tell me.
Tell me to wait then.
Jay had a tough time with Jason.
If it was me, I'd be like, "what the [Bleep.]
Are you doing?" You're a [Bleep.]
Idiot.
" You got to get it nice.
Yes, sir.
How long on a real lamb? I got one resting right now.
I can send the table, yes? Yes.
Don't [Bleep.]
Me, okay? Yes, Chef.
You can go.
Lamb will be right out.
I get to wait for the lamb.
Come on, Jason.
You said you were gonna give it to me.
You got to give it to me.
Oh, dude, this is all-- cook it more.
You can't serve 'em raw.
Come on, man.
You can't serve that [Bleep.]
In' lamb.
Damn.
Oh, come on, Jason.
You're gonna [Bleep.]
Me, dude.
(Fran) Jason, you okay? Oh, my God.
(Announcer) An hour into the final dinner service, Jason's undercooked lamb has taken the steam out of Jay's engine.
Come on, I need that lamb.
You're gonna [Bleep.]
Me, dude.
Yes, Chef.
And not only is a customer hungry for his meal I get to wait for the lamb.
Jay has suffered a major setback.
Okay, so these veiny pieces, he don't want 'em? Cook 'em medium rare, nice, and let 'em rest.
That'll go away.
Yeah.
(Jay) Jason kind of [Bleep.]
Ed up.
He was trying to serve me crap.
If Chef Ramsay gets mad at me for sending something out that wasn't perfect, then it's my fault because I let it go, but anything that wasn't perfect I sent right back.
Dude, you're killing me.
Come on.
Foie lamb.
That's the lamb you got to cook.
That's perfect, Jason.
Yes, Chef.
Beautiful, beautiful lamb.
Table six.
(Announcer) With a little coaching from Jay, Jason's lamb finally makes it to the dining room.
Delicious.
(Announcer) Meanwhile, in the red kitchen Come on, you guys, two lobsters, two caviar.
Let's move it.
Let's go on those appetizers, ladies.
Holli's team has picked up the pace, and delivered half their appetizers to the dining room.
Really good.
I could eat like this every night.
Wow.
(Announcer) And now Holli is ready to move on to entrees.
I need that venison.
Venison, like, another three minutes.
I never cooked venison before.
So, you know, today was the first time.
You know, it's just trial and error, trial and error.
You learn.
How long on my venison? I'm ready.
Excuse me, Chef.
Where's my venison? Thank you.
[Bleep.]
.
Nilka? Yes? Nilka, what is this? I don't know why people bring [Bleep.]
Up to the pass when they know that they wouldn't eat it.
Did you look at it? It's supposed to be medium.
Come on! It's like beef jerky.
Come on, Nilka, please.
(Holli) Nilka, how long? I have to refire it.
I had it waiting too long, then.
Four minutes.
Nilka was just killing me.
This is my restaurant tonight, and I'm not gonna serve [Bleep.]
.
You have 'em refired, Nilka, right? Yes.
I'm refiring now.
Okay.
Don't bring me up crap.
This is starting to become embarrassing.
How you doing over there? I'm all right.
Trying to make it.
(Announcer) Nilka tries to get it together, but she's not the only one having trouble with her meat.
(Jean-Philippe) They just found the meat kind of tough.
Jason, let's slice that beef two more times.
Make it a little thinner, okay? Okay.
Heard.
Drive up.
Come on, Jason.
Yes, Chef.
Two steaks coming right now.
It's working.
The thing with Jason is, he doesn't react well to yelling.
Jason, look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Just relax.
You're doing fine.
I needed to do what I thought I should do to get the best out of him, and I sort of babied him a little bit.
If you're not gonna be ready, just tell me.
I can't-- hot coming down.
I know, but I can't serve the [Bleep.]
If you-- medium in the front, medium rare right here.
Okay.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
[Bleep.]
.
Come on, guys.
Let's go.
(Jay) Yes, Chef.
Let's go.
Come on.
Fran, enoki salad for two on the fly.
I got it.
I got it.
You know, I think Jay could have cracked the whip a little bit more.
If I have to be a leader and step up, I'll be more than willing to step up.
Next pick-up, two lobster, three steak, one medium.
Ben was my sous Chef for sure.
I mean, Ben did an awesome job.
A minute and a half? (Jason) Yup.
Minute and a half, Jay.
I think Ben definitely had my back.
Two lamb, two scallop.
Beautiful.
(Announcer) With Benjamin's help, the blue kitchen has pulled ahead I'm gonna season your dressing.
Thank you, darling.
And served half their entrees.
It's really good.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, in the red kitchen, Holli's looking for her team to pick up the pace.
Come on, you guys.
Let's go.
We're not losing to blue Jay, huh? Nilka, this venison is gorgeous.
It's no good? It's gorgeous.
Oh, hallelujah.
I need my garnish, Autumn.
All right.
Hold on, 'cause I'm trying to cook too many things.
Bring me something, Autumn.
What's going on, Autumn? Nothing.
I've got it.
I've got it under control.
All right, if you got it, I need it up here.
Autumn.
Yes, Chef.
Come on, you're dragging the [Bleep.]
In' table now.
I know.
You guys, somebody get a pan on there with her.
Come on, guys.
Answer her.
You guys, I've got this.
You guys, go ahead.
I'm like, you know what? [bleep.]
.
If you were super girl, you would be standing there and not Holli.
Because nobody knows what they're doing.
Excuse me? I was like, "wait a minute.
What the hell's she mean, 'they don't know nothing'?" No, [Bleep.]
That.
You guys, I got it.
You can't help me.
Oh, I'ma be queen sheba.
I'ma save the whole kitchen.
Autumn, it's not bad to take some help from somebody if you need it.
They don't know what they're doing.
If you tell me, I know what I'm doing.
It's not hard.
Don't argue.
Just get the food up here, you guys.
I'm not arguing, Chef.
(Autumn) [bleep.]
Killing me.
I'm doing my [Bleep.]
Best.
Let's go, you guys! (Announcer) It's the final push to the finish for both kitchens You guys, I got it.
You can't help me.
But Autumn's insistence on working alone has slowed down Holli once again.
Let's go, you guys! She has, like, and she doesn't want anybody to help her.
All right, I'm coming, I'm coming.
It's not the time to argue.
Put the [Bleep.]
In the pan and let's bring it up to the pass.
Come on.
Garnish.
Put it up there, Autumn.
Let's go.
Come on, let's go.
With arugula salad.
Thank you.
(Autumn) Nilka and Siobhan don't know what they're doing.
It was just easier for me to just handle it.
(Holli) Fry some venison, guys.
Right here, honey.
Thank you.
Here we go.
Table 44.
(Announcer) It's over two hours into dinner service, and both Chefs have managed to overcome their setbacks.
Come on.
They got three tickets left.
We have three tickets left.
Now it's a race.
(Holli) Come on, you guys.
Let's push it out.
Come on.
Two lobster, two steak, dude.
Home stretch.
Come on, let's do this.
Come on.
Let's get this for our boy.
Autumn.
Yes, Chef.
This tuna's still cold in the middle.
Yes, Chef.
Two seconds in the oven.
Come on, chicken, char, and a vegetarian to kill the kitchen.
Hot coming down, Chef.
Chicken.
Chicken.
That's your char.
Three fillets.
Come on, push it out.
Service, please.
Well done, Jay.
Thank you, Chef.
Clear out.
I had fun.
Cleared out.
Well done.
(Holli) They may have finished first, but it's all about quality, you guys.
Handling your fillets right here.
Fillets.
Thank you.
Service.
Thank you, guys.
Okay, Holli.
Well done.
Thank you.
Hi.
Job well done.
Thank you.
Everything was excellent.
Thanks.
You're gonna win.
You did good.
I'm proud.
I love you, mama.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
You guys, that's my son.
Good job.
Hi.
How you feel? I feel like I got to finish the dishes.
Hi, buggy.
Hi.
Love you.
Love you.
Love you.
Bye.
First of all, I'd like to say a thank you to all the returning Chefs.
A job well done, yeah? Thank you, Chef.
Jay, Holli, take time now and thank your team.
Thank you for all your hard work.
(Jay) I think we did a good job.
We did the best that we could do, and hopefully it'll pay off.
I love you, man.
Oh.
I feel so good that the last dinner service is over.
That was definitely the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.
But now my fate in my life is totally in somebody else's hands.
Jay, Holli, well done.
Thanks, Chef.
Right now, what I need to do is go through these.
Whilst I do that, both of you go upstairs and relax.
Job well done.
Yeah? So how do you feel? Feel good? I--I don't know.
I'm not gonna lie.
I don't-- I don't know.
Why? I just--I don't know.
I really would love to be more articulate in how I feel, but I just-- I don't even think I know how I feel.
Oh, man.
What a day.
What a [Bleep.]
Ing week.
What a month.
What a 24 hours.
This is really [Bleep.]
In' scary now.
I didn't think I was gonna feel like this.
I'm starting to have, like, a panic attack.
I need to, like, breathe deep.
I'm just, like, ugh.
(Jay) I definitely am nervous.
I definitely have a pit in my stomach.
Sooner than later, we'll have a decision that will be life-changing.
Have some more wine.
Okay.
[Jay belches.]
(Holli) Jeez, Jay.
[Suspenseful music.]
(Announcer) After reviewing customer comment cards, Chef Ramsay now faces his most difficult decision of the year.
Right.
Holli, Jay, this is the moment you've both been waiting for.
One of you is about to realize your dream-- winning Hell's Kitchen and becoming my new head Chef at the Savoy Grill in London.
First of all, seriously, both of you, I am so proud.
And there's no doubt, clearly, that both of you have got very, very, very exciting futures in this industry.
Thank you, Chef.
Thank you.
Okay, I want you both now to stand in front of your doors.
the Chef whose door opens will become the winner of Hell's Kitchen, and will be the head Chef at my restaurant, the Savoy Grill in London.
Okay, Jay, Holli, place your hands on top of the handle.
(Jay) This is monumentally life-changing.
One of us will move to a different continent and work for the most amazing Chef in the world.
I didn't come here to lose.
(Holli) This is your whole, entire future right in front of you.
This will definitely change my life.
No doubt.
But the thing is, it's gonna change my son's life.
It's gonna change his dad's life.
For the better.
And I want to do that for them.
Holli and Jay, are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
On the count of three.
OneTwo Three! Holli and Jay, are you ready? Yes, Chef.
Yes, Chef.
The Chef whose door opens will become the winner of Hell's Kitchen.
On the count of three.
OneTwo Three! Holli, congratulations.
[Cheers and applause.]
Come here, you.
Thank you, Chef.
Well done.
I'm so excited! Aah! [Laughs.]
It's crazy.
Aah.
Jay is a great person, and if it wasn't me against him, I would hope he would win, 'cause I--I think he deserves to win.
Jay rocks.
Oh! Oh, my God! Mama, you won! I won! I love you, mama.
You did good.
I'm not psyched about losing, but it was very close, and Holli did a great job and deserved to win.
You're the winner! I've missed my son so much.
Gives me a hug and he's like, "mama, you're the best Chef ever.
" I can't believe it! Mama! When he looks back, he's gonna be proud, and that feels good.
He's my little man.
He's my little Chef.
Please give it up for the winner of Hell's Kitchen, Holli! [Cheers and applause.]
(Gordon) Holli won because she's grown as a Chef more than any other Chef in Hell's Kitchen.
At the start, she was barely noticeable, but then she got her confidence.
She emerged, and there was no holding her back.
I'm absolutely thrilled she'll be working with me at the Savoy Grill in London.
[Ohio players' fire.]
Fire (Gordon) Well done.
Look at the little fella.
No, no, no, no.
Oh.
No.
The way you walk and talk really sets me off to a full alarm child best game played.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
I have to say congratulations.
Thank you.
I love you.
Thank you.
I love you too.
You deserve it.
Thank you, Autumn.
So much.
I gave it everything for you.
I know you did.
No, no.
Thank you.
I can't kiss you, but God.
Yeah, don't.
So happy.
I couldn't have done it without you guys.
Can we go out drinking now? Please? Yeah.
I need it.
Congratulations.
You totally deserve it.
Hopefully I can take her pants off tonight.
