11 Chefs Compete, Part 1
Previously on Hell's Kitchen Who should be going home tonight? Clemenza.
The blue team turned their backs on Clemenza.
Everybody's trying to get rid of me.
But you know what, I still put out better food than everybody standing there.
But chef Ramsay chose Guy.
Give me your jacket, please.
The next morning, in the mystery ingredients challenge Veal chop.
First come, first serve, bitches! It was Royce on the blue team What is that? A hair.
Who made a careless and unforgivable error Oh, God.
Clinching the victory for the red team.
You've gotta be kidding me, man.
At dinner service, Tiffany was anything Tiffany, you're putting the knife on the bottom of your lip? But sharp Tiffany! I mean, honestly? In the blue kitchen.
Clemenza, this pasta is chewy! And Brian Yes, chef.
It's soupy.
Soupy? You know it is.
Got off to a slow start on appetizers.
No, no, no, no.
Not already.
But they quickly rebounded.
There you go.
Finally.
Brian.
Perfect.
Yes, chef.
But when it came time to serve entrees Raw.
Roshni Our first table! And Patrick Patrick.
Lobster's stone cold.
Brought the kitchen to a standstill All of you get out! Totally useless.
Get out! Forcing the red team Ladies Yes, chef.
To feed the blue team's diners.
At elimination, the blue team nominated Myself, chef.
And Clemenza, chef.
What? Chef Ramsay was stunned.
The stumbling block wasn't the appetizers.
And so he offered up his own nomination.
Roshni, Patrick, get up here.
Fish and meat.
And then chef Ramsay decided to get some blue team opinions.
Who shall I send home? Roshni, chef.
Roshni.
Roshni, chef.
Patrick, chef.
Royce was the only one to single out Patrick.
In the end Roshni.
Gave up her jacket and her dream of becoming head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak at Paris, Las Vegas.

Yes, chef.
Three stars.
Amazing.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Keep it going.
I will.
Thank you, chef.
I definitely wasn't expecting that.
It really is a nice boost, you know, getting that compliment from chef Ramsay, getting that little bit of recognition.
It felt real good to me.
It's gonna be the ladies taking it to the final.
Said that from day one.
Yep.
The vibe on the red team is we're confident, we're determined we killed dinner service tonight.
I mean, we didn't just, like, inch by these guys.
We murdered these dudes.
We're all coming together, and we're about to dominate this competition.
Like, dude, that was one order of spaghetti.
It's up, you know.
I know what I'm dealing with.
I'm dealing with some team members that are gonna put you up because they're afraid you're gonna knock them out the box, and they're afraid of the competition.
But you know what, I'm still standing here, I'm still standing strong, and I'm still going for it, man.
All I know is we're here, and that's it.
That's it, dude.
While some members of the blue team are feeling vindicated, other's are feeling persecuted.
All the sea bass went out great, and I communicated everything.
I don't know why you sent me, but whatever, it's fine.
Royce, he's sneaky.
Who should go home? "Patrick.
" That was a punk-ass move.
him.
Now I'm pissed.
I thought that the lobsters were a on you.
I didn't you No, no, I know, but You want to be a squirmy little , somebody's gonna you up.
After a night of poor performances on the blue team, the men go to bed feeling deflated.
But in the morning, Kimmie has a plan I don't know, I was just bored yesterday, so I got down and wrote a rap.
To lift everyone's spirits.
Deep down, I love to cook, and it's my passion.
But I also have this side thing with rapping.
So you know, I was ready to show 'em that I could rap too.
You ready? Yeah, for sure.
So we in Hell's Kitchen to prove we're bitchen started out with 18, down to 11 next thing you know we'll be at seven Clemenza, Pat, Royce, J, and Brian better get your straight before you go home cryin' yo, baby, yo, baby, yo kickin' y'all's asses in all the challenges boys, watch out before you feel so powerless never has it been all girls and all black but me and my girls about to change all that when you're feeling down, you better look around 'cause chef has the last word in every round Let me tell you, I wouldn't put a nickel into that investment.
Let's go, Kimmie.
Rise and shine.
Big smile.
Let's go.
We walk into the kitchen, there's a big gold sheet.
It's a new car! No, um I don't know what's under there.
I honestly, at this point I don't have a clue.
To start today, I have a question for you all.
Are you feeling lucky? Yes, chef.
Good.
As you know, the winner of Hell's Kitchen this year will become the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Vegas.
And let's be honest, it's a city where luck on your side can be valuable.
I don't get it.
What the is behind this gold curtain? Just tell me! For your next challenge, I thought I would bring a little bit of Vegas to you.
There we are! Holy ! Slots! Whoo! That's awesome.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Okay, in today's challenge, we're gonna test your creativity.
And we're gonna let the slot machine determine what you're gonna be making.
Wow.
Two at a time, one member from each team will come up.
One of you will pull the handle.
When the machine stops, you'll have five ingredients.
One cut of steak, and four complementary ingredients.
And then, you both will create that dish.
I love steak! Bring me the beef! Where's the beef? Red team, there's six members in the team.
And I'll only taste five dishes.
So it's up to you now, very quickly, to decide who will not be getting a turn at the slots.
Hurry up.
I really like steaks, I'm really good at cooking steaks.
I don't want to sit out the challenges.
I don't think anybody wants to be the one to sit out.
We all need the opportunity to shine.
I feel good about steaks.
Chef's opening a steak house, so I want to make a steak dish for him.
We've done really well in all the challenges, so I don't want to sit out.
Nobody wants to be, like, the person whose dish doesn't count.
Like, if you're sitting out, you're obviously not proving .
Who's sitting out? Make your decision! In today's "High-Steaks" challenge, five members of each team will go head to head Red team, there's six members in the team.
And I'll only taste five dishes.
Leaving the red team with a difficult decision.
So who will not be getting a turn at the slots? Hurry up.
I mean, I feel we've done really well in all the challenges, so I don't want to sit out.
It's pointless to try to talk to these girls 'cause all they do is bicker over each other.
I'll sit out.
It's cool.
I'll sit out.
Totally cool.
Dana goes, "me and Christina have been doing the best in all the challenges, so we don't need to sit out.
" You know, they want to show off their , let 'em show it.
Dana and Patrick, let's go.
First up, Dana and Patrick will give the Hell's Kitchen slot machine a spin to find out the steak and ingredients they will be cooking.

And shrimp.
Good job.

Now it's time for Tiffany and Justin to test their luck.
I really don't have much luck, honestly.
If it wasn't for luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.
We have got Filet.
Beets.
Beets.
Wow.
Carrots.
Zucchini.
And Chorizo.
Chorizo.
There you go.
My luck sucks.
carrots that are sweet, beets that are sweet.
Zucchini that's just, like, a boring vegetable.
What the am I gonna do with these? And finally, Robyn and Clemenza are hoping their steak and ingredients are the jackpot.
You've got Rib eye.
First ingredient comes up, and it's rib eye.
I'm, like, yes! Combined with parsnips.
Sweet corn.
Yeah.
All right, this is good.
Now I'm waiting for, like, the curveball to come in and be, like, blueberries.
Broccoli.
Broccoli is a little boring.
Amazing.
Finally, bacon.
Well done.
I'm, like, really? Bacon.
It's too good to be true right now.
Clemenza, happy with that? Very happy.
I would bathe myself in bacon if I could.
Kimmie, while you did not get a chance to pull the slot machine, you will be cooking.
You need to decide which of your teammates you want to go up against.
Who would you like to cook alongside? Your team will taste both of those dishes and decide which one out of both your dishes will go up against the blue team.
Got it? Yes, chef.
So, Kimmie Hurry up.
Robyn.
Tiffany has oh.
Like, what the ! So it's either your dish or my dish that goes up there.
She could have chose anyone, but she chooses her best friend.
Now we have to go head to head against each other.
Whatever, dude.
What the ever.
So you're gonna do a rib eye.
Why? I feel comfortable with rib eye, chef.
Easy as pie, man.
Easy as pie.
I know Robyn's my girl, but I'm from the South.
That's what we eat all the time.
an amazing steak.
Your time starts now.
Good luck.
Go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
After trying to get lucky with ingredients, the chefs must get creative with designing their steak dishes.
Let's go.
Pans on.
Start searing.
Each chef will have 30 minutes to complete their dish.
Are you good with hanger steak, dude? Yeah.
I mean, I've cooked it before.
I just never with crab, eggplant, asparagus.
If I had to choose my own ingredients, definitely not what I would have chosen.
Eggplant? Are you serious? You know how to cook, right? You know what the you're doing.
Asparagus, crab meat.
Like, what the am I gonna do with 'em? All right, come on, now.
Hot pan in the back is mine.
Small one.
I'm feeling great.
I'm gonna beat this girl.
I'm bringing "A" game.
"A" game.
Bring the phone.
Call my mama.
She'll tell ya ain't none of you can cook like me! Yes, chef.
Make it count.
Make sure that convection gets going hot.
Those ingredients, they're tough ingredients to incorporate together, and I really had no idea what I was doing.
I was just going with my emotion.
Put it all the way up.
Now's my time to show chef Ramsay what I'm made of.
Man, you don't want to up steaks when the man's opening a steak house.
Salt.
Salt.
Go right there.
I have no clue what parsnips are at all, so I'm just gonna go and, you know, fry them bad boys.
When in doubt, you fry .
I definitely fried the bacon as well.
That's the Southern way, man.
It always tastes good.
I'm gonna fry this .
Yeah! Come on.
Behind, behind, behind.
Coming through.
Coming through.
I'm already thinking what I gotta do against Dana and outshine her.
The issue that I'm having is that we have this set of great, traditional steak house ingredients.
But the reality is how do you twist these now to make it imaginative and creative? So what's going through my head is season, season, season.
On your back.
Heard on my back.
Kimmie wants to go up against my dish, that's fine.
I could cook circles around her.
Bitch, I got this .
Last ten minutes, guys.
I got the rib eye.
I got the thickest cut of meat.
I know I'm gonna be the last one to plate.
But I also know my timing is gonna be to perfection.
Make sure you get your meats on, guys.
Pretty fast for a fat guy.
Now we're talking.
Filet, that's me.
I'm happy that I get a filet, but at the same time, I get stuck with, like, the worst list of ingredients.
Is anyone else gonna need the blender? I will need a blender too.
I've decided that I'm gonna make a stuffing, you know? I'm gonna do something completely crazy that I've never done before, but I think it's gonna work.
One and a half minutes to go.
Start plating.
How long? that window soon.
.
I'm watching Clemenza, and he's moving way too slow.
There's nothing you can do at that point it's raw? It's raw.
Whatever you have to do, just get it done right now.
Get plated.
Now I'm incredibly nervous.
It's coming down to the wire.
I got the steak off, and I'm, like, "damn it!" The rib eye may be undercooked, and I don't got time to fix it.
Ugh! I'm running out of time, man.
Here we go! Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
And serve! It's the final moments of the cooking part of the "High-Steaks" challenge Coming down.
And both teams are racing to plate steak dishes randomly assigned to them by the Hell's Kitchen slot machine.
Ten, nine, eight But one chef is cutting it a little close.
Three, two, one, and serve! Clemenza, let's go.
That's it.
I don't know what's going on with the steak, but at least I got it done.
Now I'm just hoping for the best.
With the cooking over, the red team must now decide whose rib eye dish will go up against the blue team.
Red team, you've got one minute.
Start deciding Robyn or Kimmie? Whose is whose? This is Robyn's, this is mine.
Mine's, um, Jack we can eat this? We can eat this? I start trying to talk about, you know, my sauces, and they're talking over me.
Cajun spices, and in the corner Do you have extra sauce? Make your decision, please.
Mine's a coffee and eggs, coffee-encrusted.
Make your decision! I go with Robyn.
Yeah.
This sauce.
This sauce.
Robyn's.
I know their mind was made up before.
I'm so mad because I worked my ass off on this steak.
Kimmie, what's the matter? I'm good.
Okay, let's go.
The girls decided to go with my dish, and then here goes Kimmie crying.
Sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with a child.
Listen carefully.
The winner of Hell's Kitchen will become the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Vegas.
So this challenge, for me, is critical.
Let's start off with the battle of the filet let's go.
First up, Tiffany and Justin will go head to head with their filet dishes, which also include beets, carrots, zucchini, and chorizo.
Chef, what I did for you today is a truffle-smashed beets, glazed carrots, chorizo cream sauce, and a chorizo zucchini cake.
I'm nervous as hell.
They were tough ingredients to incorporate together.
And I hope chef Ramsay likes my creativity.
Wow, that's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
I mean, really delicious.
I can taste the smokiness of the chorizo coming through.
The beets are delicious.
My biggest problem, I want to eat more.
Thank you.
Great job, indeed.
Thank you very much.
Tiffany.
I have a chorizo-zucchini stuffing in the filet.
You stuffed the filet? I stuffed the filet.
Wow.
Dangerous.
Yes.
Very dangerous.
I mean, the filet is the Rolls Royce of cuts.
You stuffed a filet? Are you kidding me? It tastes good.
It tastes very good.
Thank you.
The issue is When you stuff a filet, it's always so hard.
I mean, really hard to nail, because the temperature goes.
It overcooks in seconds.
Congratulations, blue team.
Justin, that's the best dish I've tasted so far.
Thank you, chef.
Really good.
Thank you, chef.
Really good, indeed.
Thank you very much.
You hear something like that from a chef that's at the caliber of chef Ramsay, it's just it's unbelievable.
It feels good, man.
It really does feel good.
Next up, hanger steak.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Me and Royce had just gone up against each other with the lobster challenge, so it's kind of a rematch.
I know he's definitely looking for redemption, and I'm I'm ready for it.
Christina.
Chef, we have a hanger steak.
I have it marinated in lime juice, red pepper flakes.
I have a panko-parmesan crusted and pan-fried eggplant wrapped around grilled asparagus.
It's delicious.
Really good, indeed.
Steak nailed perfectly.
Thank you.
Love the crispiness of the eggplant.
Not again! The big issue is this.
You put yam on a plate, you need to give it some help.
Yeah.
Big time.
You're right, chef.
It's a clump of dull mess.
Yeah.
And it's such a shame because everything else on the plate you've nailed.
Royce.
I work in a steak house.
I know how to cook steak.
This is Royce.
This is what I do.
I pan-seared the crab cake along with a port wine beurre blanc.
I have a demi-glace with the steak.
I have fresh-grilled vegetables, squeezes of lemon, and served medium-rare.
It looks fantastic.
It's got finesse.
I wasn't inspired with this.
It was undercooked.
It's spongy, and it's Oh, .
Ehh! Damn.
What a shame.
I know that I under-seasoned my yams, but I also know that chef Ramsay didn't, you know, discard them from his mouth.
Such a shame, 'cause everything else you've nailed.
I've got an issue with the yams on Christina's plate, and an issue with your eggplant.
I mean, come on! Congratulations Come on! Come on! To the red team.
Thank you, chef.
Come on! It's like, aw, man That's two times.
Two challenges in a row.
Poor Royce.
I feel really bad for him.
Okay, next one is the battle of the flat iron steak.
Let's go.
With the score tied, it's time for Dana and Patrick to show what they were able to do with flat iron steak, potatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and blue cheese.
Dana.
I grilled the flat iron steak, some sauteed spinach.
The sauce on top is a cabernet reduction with wild mushrooms.
It looks a mess.
I'm not going to eat food that's been sat in a swimming pool.
Oh, God, help.
This isn't a good start.
I'm just hoping that the flavor's there, the taste is there, and that he'll get over the presentation.
The meat's ragged, overcooked and it's dry.
That's your worst performing dish so far.
Patrick, talk to me.
What is that? I have a seared flat iron steak, chef, with a roasted wild mushroom and red potato hash and a blue cheese cream sauce.
Mm-hmm.
Taste.
So salty.
It's like you just clumped a big lump of salt in there.
You've got blue cheese, which is naturally gonna salt things anyway.
Yes.
Yes.
So it's just Ill-conceived.
Both of you, no points.
I mean, bitterly disappointed! After poor performances from both teams, the score remains tied.
Chef kicked the living crap right out of me.
My wife's gonna tell me, "you always salt too much!" So I'm sure that's gonna be a fun one at home.
Now, Barbie and Brian are each hoping their New York strip with celery root, tomatoes, cauliflower, and shrimp will give their team the lead.
This is my point If Barbie beats me, I will slam my head into the first hard, blunt object I can find.
Okay, Barbie.
I have a grilled New York strip surf & turf with a celery root mash, roasted cauliflower, a little salad of heirloom tomatoes.
The New York steak's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
Shrimp are cooked perfectly.
Ow.
Brian.
Hello, chef.
What I have for you today is a New York strip tagliatta.
It's Rosemary and Dijon crusted.
On top is a little bit of celery root frite.
On the side is a little bit of a warm salad.
It's some of the heirloom tomatoes mixed with shrimp.
Temperature's nailed perfectly.
Cauliflower, shrimp works brilliantly.
Tough one.
Congratulations to the red team.
Yes! Wait.
And the blue team.
Good job.
Really good job.
Thank you, chef.
Really good job, indeed.
Thank God.
Thank you, whatever is up there.
Gracias, San Pedro.
With the score tied at two going into the final round, it all comes down to Robyn and Clemenza.
Battle of the rib eye.
Let's go.
Come on, Clemenza! It comes down to the tie breaker now.
I am a little nervous at this point.
I didn't really have enough time to finish that dish.
Clemenza, what is that? Pan-seared rib eye with a glazed charred-corn relish with a little bit of bacon and some fried parsnip.
I'm just gonna pray that I didn't undercook my rib eye.
The steak Slightly undercooked.
The "High-Steaks" challenge is tied at two, and Clemenza is hoping his pan-seared rib eye will come out on top.
We're tied.
We need Clemenza to get the point.
The steak Slightly undercooked.
We need Clemenza's point.
It's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
Absolutely delicious.
The steak is missing two minutes in the oven, however, you've done it justice.
Thank you, chef.
Right, Robyn, what is it, please? Coffee and flour-encrusted rib eye with bacon, corn, and broccoli.
I'm up here instead of Kimmie.
That's a lot of pressure right now.
I'm hoping that my dish is gonna win, but Clemenza's dish definitely looks good.
The frittata's seasoned beautifully.
Thank you, chef.
Damn, the bad news is it's overcooked.
Um, the rub is disgusting, it's wet, it's soggy, and it's overcooked.
Dreadful! Congratulations, blue team.
Men win.
Damn it, man, I hate to say it, but yeah, I'm I'm the mack daddy, baby.
I'm feeling like that we didn't get the point, and I feel Kimmie right next to me, and of course she was crying.
I didn't make the decision.
Your teammates made the decision get over it.
Just to confirm in my mind what went on there, Kimmie, I want to taste your dish.
Bring it up.
Let's go.
But since the crybaby's crying, let the crybaby put her steak up there.
It is it is delicious.
It's almost like a sort of barbecued short rib.
I knew exactly what chef Ramsay was going to say.
I knew he was totally gonna say her dish was the best.
I knew it.
All of you, come up here and take a taste of that meat.
Come around here, please.
Yes, chef.
Just take a lump of meat.
I've cut it up for you.
Thank you, chef.
It's really great flavor.
It's good.
Okay, it tastes good.
But it looks like a pile of on a plate.
Ladies, I am sorry, but I don't know where you're coming from because that is delicious.
Wrong choice.
I feel so much redemption right now, you have no idea.
That proves to my team that I know how to cook steaks.
I do this for a living, people.
Bad choice, ladies.
Yeah, you're right, chef.
Because that would have given Clemenza a run for his money, let me tell you.
Blue team, congratulations.
Thank you, chef.
You've got a unique day.
To start off with, you'll be going shopping at one of my favorite hangouts, Sur La Table.
Blue team with another win, and we go get to go shopping for knives and whaaaat? But there's more.
You're going to one of the best restaurants in California Comme Ca.
Yes! Chef David Myers has prepared the most amazing lunch for you all.
I'm stoked.
We're gonna eat, we're gonna shop.
It's like a chef's dream.
Blue team, good job.
Well done, Justin.
Now, piss off.
Good job.
Thank you, chef.
Red team, tomorrow, in Hell's Kitchen, it's steak night! You've got a very busy day ahead of you.
I have a special delivery.
There's a side of beef arriving.
.
So when the beef arrives, unload the truck, bring in the carcass, and get it prepped ahead of tomorrow night's dinner service.
Got it? Yes, chef.
I'm super pissed off because my dish would have won that .
And I just know it's gonna be a long day ahead of us.
Come on, let's go.
Today! Let's go! Holy .
Rrrrrrr! Wow, that's one big half of a cow.
This is a big piece of meat.
You're kidding me.
Like, it's huge, man.
Like, me and Clemenza could have laid down next to each other and still not have been as big as this cow.
One, two, three.
Unh! me, dude.
This is ridiculous.
Like, this is definitely a punishment that the boys should be having because how the are we gonna carry this? me! Ah Holy ! Look at this! Holy crap! That's a dead animal.
Look at the size of that.
I see six chicks trying to pick up a half a cow.
It's kind of funny, actually.
'Cause we've been getting our asses handed to us, and we've been getting a little abuse, so uh, let them bring in the beef.
Dude, you see the size of that thing? You're kidding me.
Can we get a forklift? The boys get to go on an amazing shopping spree again.
Oh, I'm pissed off as all hell.
It's just not fair.
It's not fair! Holy Do you need more help in that back? Yes.
I feel like I got 250 pounds back on this ass end of this cow.
I mean, it's just like I can't barely breathe.
Kimmie's, like Is she gonna make it? Like, is she gonna be all right? One, two, three! Okay, that was fun.
While the women are ready to do some chopping We're going to Sur La Table? The men are ready to do some shopping.
Sur La Table! Can't wait.
I think I'm gonna get an espresso maker.
I don't know.
Sur La Table is basically Disneyland for chefs.
How 'bout that, right? It's gorgeous.
I want that 7-inch Santoku right there.
Oh, what about an ice cream maker? I'll get an ice cream maker.
Done! Yes! I'm like a kid in a candy store.
My eyes are lit up, and I'm just beaming off of 50 million things I see and I already want.
I'm loving it.
Clemenza bought half the store today.
I think he bought a soda machine, a juicer, a peeler He was just going nuts.
He made sure he spent every penny.
Don't forget the little piece of candy.
Yeah, baby! While the men enjoy the spoils of victory, the women I'm so pissed.
We were this close.
Deal with the agony of butchering the meat.
I should have felt the steaks.
Even though I couldn't taste them, I could have felt them.
To lose the steak challenge, it's incredibly disappointing.
Honestly, it's Robyn's fault we lost.
Dude, next time you definitely gotta sell your .
I was trying.
Robyn just kept talking over me.
I feel like I'm constantly getting dirty looks behind my back because they don't have enough to do it to my face.
There's no team in the red team.
It's let's all turn against each other now.
Yeah! Let's go! Nice lunch.
I cannot wait to eat.
Chefs, welcome.
Great to have you.
We're thrilled.
We have a really special meal planned for you today.
Thank you very much.
I'm stoked.
We get to get out.
We get to sit down as a team, relax again, have a nice lunch.
We deserve it.
Oh, my God.
Animal.
You can bring your taser back.
It's okay.
The guys are guys.
They're young.
Excuse me.
You know, I'm older, and I'm kind of acting as a little bit more of the father figure.
What's the matter with you? Wow.
I said excuse me.
It was an accident.
I had a reflex.
Listen, young man, we will leave here right now we will leave here right now! Take that to go! You know, it's cool.
It's good to laugh a little bit outside of the pressure and the stress that is Hell's Kitchen.
You guys can never keep it clean.
No.
No.
We could try it.
Blue team's kinda bonding.
Everything's good right now.
We're having some fun.
We're loosening up.
We let ourselves relax for once, and it was a really good feeling.
Salud! Chin-chin.
Chin-chin While the good times are rolling for the men's team, in the red kitchen Barbie, I think took my knife kit.
Accusations are flying.
If we're gonna use other people's knives kits, we gotta respect it.
Mine gets used all the time.
I have the only dull chef's knife in here.
I'm just saying we gotta respect each other's knife kits.
It's just how you say it, Robyn.
You say it with aggression, and you well, you know what, I don't change the way you speak, Kimmie, so I'm not gonna change the way I speak.
Robyn's got this attitude today.
She feels like because I outshined her on the rib eye today.
I totally outshined that bitch, and she's totally jealous, that's all that it's about.
I'm not gonna talk to anybody unless I need to.
That's kinda bitchy.
Kimmie thinks she can talk to anyone the way she is because she's 350 and 6'2".
It's not gonna work.
Kimmie, I don't think I'm bitchy at all.
Everyone's giving dirty looks.
Which means you're in that as well.
I just said everybody.
Oh, my God, Robyn, I'm not in the mood today, dude.
I'm so not in the mood.
I'm totally getting close to bitch slapping this girl today.
Just quit talking, or it's gonna get ugly.
I don't think I need to be by her right now because she's really pissing me off.
Kimmie, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Robyn, just stop talking.
I don't have to stop talking, Kimmie.
This is gonna get ugly.
Unh! Kimmie! After losing the "High-Steaks" challenge, the red team is faced with a grueling day of punishment.
And everyone's patience with Robyn is wearing thin.
Everyone's giving dirty looks.
Which means you're in that as well.
I just said everybody.
Robyn, just stop talking.
I don't have to stop talking, Kimmie.
Ugh! Kimmie, just relax, just relax.
It's ridiculous.
I'm just not gonna be anybody's bitch.
The entire day has just been ridiculous.
The fighting in the kitchen, I'm so over all of it.
It's a recipe for failure.
Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yup, yup! That was great.
Hi, girls.
Hello, ladies.
How are you? The girls are not really talking.
They looked beat up.
You can feel the tension in the air between these ladies.
You all right? Mm-hmm.
Me and Robyn weren't getting along at all.
I don't know how we go from best friends one day to "I'm gonna treat you like .
" I don't get it.
But I'm just gonna let it go, and I'm gonna kick ass in service tomorrow.
That's all I can do.
If I let it bother me and try to talk to the bitch, it's gonna be childish , and I'm done wi with all the childish games.
I am definitely constantly stressed on this team.
The lack of sleep and the arguing all the time.
I'm over it, so hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight.
I doubt it, but maybe I'll be able to get two or three hours, 'cause I need it.
After a long, punishing day, the red team finally has some peace and quiet.
Well, maybe not exactly quiet.
I am so tired.
I can't sleep because Kimmie's snoring really, really loud.
This is annoying just to have to wake up and transfer rooms to go try to go to sleep.
So I'm not in a happy mood right now.
What the ? I see this Hobbit-like figure pop up.
What's that? And it's Robyn.
We could use not to have her there.
It was just so creepy.
If you see someone in here again, it's me.
Dude, that's our room.
My God.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but Really? Really? I don't want the energy in this room changing at all.
Getting mixed up with the red team and their cattiness "I'm gonna be friends with you today.
I'm gonna be not friends with you tomorrow.
" That's why I don't trust anyone on the red team.
I'm just so pissed right now.
Why? Now what? They're all bitching that I slept in that room.
Are you serious? 'Cause these females are catty as .
No wonder why I don't have any female friends.
Catty.
Backstabbing.
Yeah.
Would you guys have rather me woken you up at 5:30 in the morning and asked if I could sleep in your room? It's not like they own the room, so tell 'em to go themselves.
My list is gonna be changing, who I'm gonna get knocked off first.
While Robyn ponders her team's demise, up in the dorms, Patrick tries to lift his spirits with a morning ritual.
This is the most emotional thing I've ever been through missing my family.
But I'm here for a reason, and they know why I'm here.
They want me to be successful.
They want their dad to win.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna do it.
All right, nothing left to do but to do it, brother.
Today is steak night in Hell's Kitchen, and both teams are looking to put their best foot forward.
We pumped up, ladies? I am.
Check what we have for backup underneath so we know.
I don't want to be caught with my pants down.
I'm nervous going into service because it is steaks, and he's opening a steak house.
It's gotta be there.
We gotta be on point, and we gotta keep it really tight today.
Brian.
Yeah, bud? Get all that together right away, because we're gonna be popping real soon.
Got it.
Justin's a machine, and he wants everything perfect.
Not too much, bri.
A little bit.
We're good.
Do we got spoons in all those? That would be a helpful thing.
Here.
Like, dude, relax.
We have time.
Clemenza, you really need a blanching pot over here.
Justin kind of micromanages everybody.
He's busy barking out orders.
Shut your mouth.
Do what you gotta do.
If I need your help, I'll ask for it.
Clemenza, check those carrots, 'cause they weren't cooked when I checked them.
You heard me? I heard you.
Take a chill pill.
You got that bacon over there, right, Royce? While Justin won't settle for less than perfection, over on the red team They're supposed to be sliced.
Like that? I don't know.
Who cares? Tiffany's practices are called into question.
Tiffany doesn't care about her standards.
And I'm not gonna let her bring us down.
Tiffany's onions, they were too thick.
Tiffany.
The onion is cut way too thick.
Barbie's trying to do a little kiss ass today too with chef Andi 'cause she thinks she's gonna win.
So good luck, Barbie.
Barbie, always calling people out to make herself look good.
"Yeah, these onions aren't right.
" Okay, great, then fix 'em.
Barbie knows everything.
She knows how to cook everything.
You know, she's the H.
B.
I.
C.
Yeah, you know, That bitch.
She needs to mind her own business and worry about herself.
We really don't have time for this.
You know that, right? Ugh, honestly! I could just break something over her head right now.
Tiffany, I have to redo these? Yeah.
Thank you, Barbie.
I didn't realize you run the show.
Going into service in under 30 minutes, there's now, you know, this fight between Barbie and Tiffany happening.
We don't have time for this today during prep.
Don't with me, bitch.
Be one thing if you could actually cook on a line first before you start running your mouth.
With less than 30 minutes before Hell's Kitchen opens for steak night, Justin is getting the blue team ready for battle.
We're gonna be popping real soon.
Got it.
While Barbie and Tiffany Tiffany.
I have to redo these? Yeah.
Thank you, Barbie.
I didn't realize you run the show.
Battle each other.
Don't talk to me.
Don't look at me.
Just get out of here.
Don't with me, bitch.
It'd be one thing if you could actually cook on a line first before you start running your mouth.
She is out of her mind.
I have no idea why Tiffany is mad at me.
I don't care.
I'm not gonna let this bickering get to me.
I came here for a job.
Barbie and Tiffany are fighting, Kimmie and Robyn are still pissed off.
You don't have to be friends, but when we are in this kitchen, like, drop all of your drama at the door.
That's what we have to do if we want to win tonight's service.
Ladies, let's go.
Line up, please.
Let's go, guys.
Line up.
Quick.
Let's go.
As you know, the winner of this year's Hell's Kitchen becomes the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Vegas.
Tonight is steak night.
So I am gonna be studying every little detail, trust me.
Justin, you did such a good job with that filet mignon, it's actually on the menu tonight.
Congratulations.
It's an honor.
Thank you, chef.
Good.
Delicious.
Really good, indeed.
Okay Alongside steak night, it's family night.
And we have a children's menu.
Nothing worse than kids getting anxious and waiting for their food, so make it count.
Yes, chef.
Okay, get on your stations.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Guys, here we go.
Check your ovens, guys.
This is the night I win chef's praise and admiration and get myself back on track.
It's time for a good service, and I'm amped, man.
Let's do this.
Let's do this.
Ready, guys? Let's go, ladies.
Tonight I'm on meat.
There's a lot of pressure just because right now it's steak night.
My steaks have to come out perfect every time tonight.
Let's rock this.
I'm ready to show chef Ramsay that I'm here to win this competition.
Do or die time.
Oh, my God! Medic! I just burned my hand.
Can we get a medic? Ugh! What happened? What happened? Kimmie got burned.
Yeah, bad.
Oh, my God.
Clemenza, take her to the medic.
Yes, chef.
Come on, come on.
Kimmie, you're gonna be okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, don't give up.
Unh! Come on, come on.
Just stay here.
Let me call and get you a medic somehow.
We got a medic coming? What happened here? Hold on I got two burns.
I got one here and one here.
So this just now happened right here, right now? Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
It hurts so bad.
Okay, breathe.
My team needs me tonight.
You're not allowed to go back in that kitchen for right now.
Kimmie has suffered very serious grease burns to her hand and arm.
And now her future in Hell's Kitchen hangs in the balance.
I'm pretty scared.
I do not want to go home tonight, but if I can't cook, this is the end for me in Hell's Kitchen.
Okay, breathe.
How did you manage to burn yourself all the way up there? I don't know.
You need to cool the skin down.
You're not going back in there.
Just breathe while I do this.
This sucks! I know it hurts.
I know it hurts.
Hold still.
Big, deep breaths.
I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Be careful.
Breathe.
Breathe.
I need you to exhale.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen Kimmie's burn is so severe You're not going back in there.
She may not make it back to dinner service.
But that doesn't stop Robyn All hell is gonna break loose.
From going after her.
You better watch who you're calling bitch! Hey! Hey! Get in my face.
I'm just thinking, "who's gonna hit who first?" What are you gonna do? Get the out of my face, you stupid bitch! And Patrick Oh, my God! Makes a mistake so unbelievable Three filets sorry Patrick! Chef Ramsay is forced to make a drastic move.
off.
Aah! It was a stupid, bonehead move.
On a night with kids in the dining room, there's one chef thinking of his.
I keep letting my family down.
And they were so proud of me to go here.
And I'm blowin' it.
As the competition gets more intense Stop.
I wouldn't even feed that to my cat! Pressure builds She thinks she runs this place.
I've just had it.
You wanna talk, talk! And friendships are shattered.
You know what, Kimmie, if you really want to get dirty now, there's no friends in this competition because I want to work for him.
Talk, talk, talk, talk.
This is insane.
Next time Kimmie, stop it! No, Robyn! On the most in-your-face Hit me, Robyn, come here! Get the popcorn 'cause it's about to get good.
Robyn.
Robyn! Hit me! Hit me! Hell's Kitchen ever!
The blue team turned their backs on Clemenza.
Everybody's trying to get rid of me.
But you know what, I still put out better food than everybody standing there.
But chef Ramsay chose Guy.
Give me your jacket, please.
The next morning, in the mystery ingredients challenge Veal chop.
First come, first serve, bitches! It was Royce on the blue team What is that? A hair.
Who made a careless and unforgivable error Oh, God.
Clinching the victory for the red team.
You've gotta be kidding me, man.
At dinner service, Tiffany was anything Tiffany, you're putting the knife on the bottom of your lip? But sharp Tiffany! I mean, honestly? In the blue kitchen.
Clemenza, this pasta is chewy! And Brian Yes, chef.
It's soupy.
Soupy? You know it is.
Got off to a slow start on appetizers.
No, no, no, no.
Not already.
But they quickly rebounded.
There you go.
Finally.
Brian.
Perfect.
Yes, chef.
But when it came time to serve entrees Raw.
Roshni Our first table! And Patrick Patrick.
Lobster's stone cold.
Brought the kitchen to a standstill All of you get out! Totally useless.
Get out! Forcing the red team Ladies Yes, chef.
To feed the blue team's diners.
At elimination, the blue team nominated Myself, chef.
And Clemenza, chef.
What? Chef Ramsay was stunned.
The stumbling block wasn't the appetizers.
And so he offered up his own nomination.
Roshni, Patrick, get up here.
Fish and meat.
And then chef Ramsay decided to get some blue team opinions.
Who shall I send home? Roshni, chef.
Roshni.
Roshni, chef.
Patrick, chef.
Royce was the only one to single out Patrick.
In the end Roshni.
Gave up her jacket and her dream of becoming head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak at Paris, Las Vegas.
fire unh when you shake what you got and girl you've got a lot you're really something, child yes, you are the way you walk and talk really sets me off and I'm so excited the way you swerve and curve really wrecks my nerves 'cause I'm smokin', baby, baby woo, woo, woo the way you push push lets me know that you're goo-oo-ood you're gonna get your wish oh, no, fire what I said, child fire fire And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.
off! Christina.
Yes, chef.
Three stars.
Amazing.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Keep it going.
I will.
Thank you, chef.
I definitely wasn't expecting that.
It really is a nice boost, you know, getting that compliment from chef Ramsay, getting that little bit of recognition.
It felt real good to me.
It's gonna be the ladies taking it to the final.
Said that from day one.
Yep.
The vibe on the red team is we're confident, we're determined we killed dinner service tonight.
I mean, we didn't just, like, inch by these guys.
We murdered these dudes.
We're all coming together, and we're about to dominate this competition.
Like, dude, that was one order of spaghetti.
It's up, you know.
I know what I'm dealing with.
I'm dealing with some team members that are gonna put you up because they're afraid you're gonna knock them out the box, and they're afraid of the competition.
But you know what, I'm still standing here, I'm still standing strong, and I'm still going for it, man.
All I know is we're here, and that's it.
That's it, dude.
While some members of the blue team are feeling vindicated, other's are feeling persecuted.
All the sea bass went out great, and I communicated everything.
I don't know why you sent me, but whatever, it's fine.
Royce, he's sneaky.
Who should go home? "Patrick.
" That was a punk-ass move.
him.
Now I'm pissed.
I thought that the lobsters were a on you.
I didn't you No, no, I know, but You want to be a squirmy little , somebody's gonna you up.
After a night of poor performances on the blue team, the men go to bed feeling deflated.
But in the morning, Kimmie has a plan I don't know, I was just bored yesterday, so I got down and wrote a rap.
To lift everyone's spirits.
Deep down, I love to cook, and it's my passion.
But I also have this side thing with rapping.
So you know, I was ready to show 'em that I could rap too.
You ready? Yeah, for sure.
So we in Hell's Kitchen to prove we're bitchen started out with 18, down to 11 next thing you know we'll be at seven Clemenza, Pat, Royce, J, and Brian better get your straight before you go home cryin' yo, baby, yo, baby, yo kickin' y'all's asses in all the challenges boys, watch out before you feel so powerless never has it been all girls and all black but me and my girls about to change all that when you're feeling down, you better look around 'cause chef has the last word in every round Let me tell you, I wouldn't put a nickel into that investment.
Let's go, Kimmie.
Rise and shine.
Big smile.
Let's go.
We walk into the kitchen, there's a big gold sheet.
It's a new car! No, um I don't know what's under there.
I honestly, at this point I don't have a clue.
To start today, I have a question for you all.
Are you feeling lucky? Yes, chef.
Good.
As you know, the winner of Hell's Kitchen this year will become the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Vegas.
And let's be honest, it's a city where luck on your side can be valuable.
I don't get it.
What the is behind this gold curtain? Just tell me! For your next challenge, I thought I would bring a little bit of Vegas to you.
There we are! Holy ! Slots! Whoo! That's awesome.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Okay, in today's challenge, we're gonna test your creativity.
And we're gonna let the slot machine determine what you're gonna be making.
Wow.
Two at a time, one member from each team will come up.
One of you will pull the handle.
When the machine stops, you'll have five ingredients.
One cut of steak, and four complementary ingredients.
And then, you both will create that dish.
I love steak! Bring me the beef! Where's the beef? Red team, there's six members in the team.
And I'll only taste five dishes.
So it's up to you now, very quickly, to decide who will not be getting a turn at the slots.
Hurry up.
I really like steaks, I'm really good at cooking steaks.
I don't want to sit out the challenges.
I don't think anybody wants to be the one to sit out.
We all need the opportunity to shine.
I feel good about steaks.
Chef's opening a steak house, so I want to make a steak dish for him.
We've done really well in all the challenges, so I don't want to sit out.
Nobody wants to be, like, the person whose dish doesn't count.
Like, if you're sitting out, you're obviously not proving .
Who's sitting out? Make your decision! In today's "High-Steaks" challenge, five members of each team will go head to head Red team, there's six members in the team.
And I'll only taste five dishes.
Leaving the red team with a difficult decision.
So who will not be getting a turn at the slots? Hurry up.
I mean, I feel we've done really well in all the challenges, so I don't want to sit out.
It's pointless to try to talk to these girls 'cause all they do is bicker over each other.
I'll sit out.
It's cool.
I'll sit out.
Totally cool.
Dana goes, "me and Christina have been doing the best in all the challenges, so we don't need to sit out.
" You know, they want to show off their , let 'em show it.
Dana and Patrick, let's go.
First up, Dana and Patrick will give the Hell's Kitchen slot machine a spin to find out the steak and ingredients they will be cooking.
Here we go.
You're pulling for both teams, remember.

Like, she's got this.

Beautiful, Pat.
Christina and Royce.
Awesome.
Let's go.
It's the christina/Royce challenge.
The last time I went up against Christina, I was beaten.
I was beaten, man, fair and square.
Royce and Christina.
Royce, three.
Christina.
Yay! Thank you, chef.
I mean, I hope every challenge I get to go up against her.
I'm gonna beat this girl.
I'm not stopping until she's crying.
I ain't stopping.
Here we go, Christina.
Protein is I'm not real lucky.
Sorry about this.
Wow, hanger steak.
Yams! Mmm.
Eggplant.
Asparagus.

New York strip.
New York strip! Yes! Nice.
Celery root.
Celery root.
Tomatoes.
Tomatoes.
Cauliflower.
Cauliflower.
And shrimp.
Good job.
Nice.
Now it's time for Tiffany and Justin to test their luck.
I really don't have much luck, honestly.
If it wasn't for luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all.
We have got Filet.
Beets.
Beets.
Wow.
Carrots.
Zucchini.
And Chorizo.
Chorizo.
There you go.
My luck sucks.
carrots that are sweet, beets that are sweet.
Zucchini that's just, like, a boring vegetable.
What the am I gonna do with these? And finally, Robyn and Clemenza are hoping their steak and ingredients are the jackpot.
You've got Rib eye.
First ingredient comes up, and it's rib eye.
I'm, like, yes! Combined with parsnips.
Sweet corn.
Yeah.
All right, this is good.
Now I'm waiting for, like, the curveball to come in and be, like, blueberries.
Broccoli.
Broccoli is a little boring.
Amazing.
Finally, bacon.
Well done.
I'm, like, really? Bacon.
It's too good to be true right now.
Clemenza, happy with that? Very happy.
I would bathe myself in bacon if I could.
Kimmie, while you did not get a chance to pull the slot machine, you will be cooking.
You need to decide which of your teammates you want to go up against.
Who would you like to cook alongside? Your team will taste both of those dishes and decide which one out of both your dishes will go up against the blue team.
Got it? Yes, chef.
So, Kimmie Hurry up.
Robyn.
Tiffany has oh.
Like, what the ! So it's either your dish or my dish that goes up there.
She could have chose anyone, but she chooses her best friend.
Now we have to go head to head against each other.
Whatever, dude.
What the ever.
So you're gonna do a rib eye.
Why? I feel comfortable with rib eye, chef.
Easy as pie, man.
Easy as pie.
I know Robyn's my girl, but I'm from the South.
That's what we eat all the time.
an amazing steak.
Your time starts now.
Good luck.
Go, go, go, go.
Go, go, go.
After trying to get lucky with ingredients, the chefs must get creative with designing their steak dishes.
Let's go.
Pans on.
Start searing.
Each chef will have 30 minutes to complete their dish.
Are you good with hanger steak, dude? Yeah.
I mean, I've cooked it before.
I just never with crab, eggplant, asparagus.
If I had to choose my own ingredients, definitely not what I would have chosen.
Eggplant? Are you serious? You know how to cook, right? You know what the you're doing.
Asparagus, crab meat.
Like, what the am I gonna do with 'em? All right, come on, now.
Hot pan in the back is mine.
Small one.
I'm feeling great.
I'm gonna beat this girl.
I'm bringing "A" game.
"A" game.
Bring the phone.
Call my mama.
She'll tell ya ain't none of you can cook like me! Yes, chef.
Make it count.
Make sure that convection gets going hot.
Those ingredients, they're tough ingredients to incorporate together, and I really had no idea what I was doing.
I was just going with my emotion.
Put it all the way up.
Now's my time to show chef Ramsay what I'm made of.
Man, you don't want to up steaks when the man's opening a steak house.
Salt.
Salt.
Go right there.
I have no clue what parsnips are at all, so I'm just gonna go and, you know, fry them bad boys.
When in doubt, you fry .
I definitely fried the bacon as well.
That's the Southern way, man.
It always tastes good.
I'm gonna fry this .
Yeah! Come on.
Behind, behind, behind.
Coming through.
Coming through.
I'm already thinking what I gotta do against Dana and outshine her.
The issue that I'm having is that we have this set of great, traditional steak house ingredients.
But the reality is how do you twist these now to make it imaginative and creative? So what's going through my head is season, season, season.
On your back.
Heard on my back.
Kimmie wants to go up against my dish, that's fine.
I could cook circles around her.
Bitch, I got this .
Last ten minutes, guys.
I got the rib eye.
I got the thickest cut of meat.
I know I'm gonna be the last one to plate.
But I also know my timing is gonna be to perfection.
Make sure you get your meats on, guys.
Pretty fast for a fat guy.
Now we're talking.
Filet, that's me.
I'm happy that I get a filet, but at the same time, I get stuck with, like, the worst list of ingredients.
Is anyone else gonna need the blender? I will need a blender too.
I've decided that I'm gonna make a stuffing, you know? I'm gonna do something completely crazy that I've never done before, but I think it's gonna work.
One and a half minutes to go.
Start plating.
How long? that window soon.
.
I'm watching Clemenza, and he's moving way too slow.
There's nothing you can do at that point it's raw? It's raw.
Whatever you have to do, just get it done right now.
Get plated.
Now I'm incredibly nervous.
It's coming down to the wire.
I got the steak off, and I'm, like, "damn it!" The rib eye may be undercooked, and I don't got time to fix it.
Ugh! I'm running out of time, man.
Here we go! Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
And serve! It's the final moments of the cooking part of the "High-Steaks" challenge Coming down.
And both teams are racing to plate steak dishes randomly assigned to them by the Hell's Kitchen slot machine.
Ten, nine, eight But one chef is cutting it a little close.
Three, two, one, and serve! Clemenza, let's go.
That's it.
I don't know what's going on with the steak, but at least I got it done.
Now I'm just hoping for the best.
With the cooking over, the red team must now decide whose rib eye dish will go up against the blue team.
Red team, you've got one minute.
Start deciding Robyn or Kimmie? Whose is whose? This is Robyn's, this is mine.
Mine's, um, Jack we can eat this? We can eat this? I start trying to talk about, you know, my sauces, and they're talking over me.
Cajun spices, and in the corner Do you have extra sauce? Make your decision, please.
Mine's a coffee and eggs, coffee-encrusted.
Make your decision! I go with Robyn.
Yeah.
This sauce.
This sauce.
Robyn's.
I know their mind was made up before.
I'm so mad because I worked my ass off on this steak.
Kimmie, what's the matter? I'm good.
Okay, let's go.
The girls decided to go with my dish, and then here goes Kimmie crying.
Sometimes I feel like I'm dealing with a child.
Listen carefully.
The winner of Hell's Kitchen will become the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Vegas.
So this challenge, for me, is critical.
Let's start off with the battle of the filet let's go.
First up, Tiffany and Justin will go head to head with their filet dishes, which also include beets, carrots, zucchini, and chorizo.
Chef, what I did for you today is a truffle-smashed beets, glazed carrots, chorizo cream sauce, and a chorizo zucchini cake.
I'm nervous as hell.
They were tough ingredients to incorporate together.
And I hope chef Ramsay likes my creativity.
Wow, that's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
I mean, really delicious.
I can taste the smokiness of the chorizo coming through.
The beets are delicious.
My biggest problem, I want to eat more.
Thank you.
Great job, indeed.
Thank you very much.
Tiffany.
I have a chorizo-zucchini stuffing in the filet.
You stuffed the filet? I stuffed the filet.
Wow.
Dangerous.
Yes.
Very dangerous.
I mean, the filet is the Rolls Royce of cuts.
You stuffed a filet? Are you kidding me? It tastes good.
It tastes very good.
Thank you.
The issue is When you stuff a filet, it's always so hard.
I mean, really hard to nail, because the temperature goes.
It overcooks in seconds.
Congratulations, blue team.
Justin, that's the best dish I've tasted so far.
Thank you, chef.
Really good.
Thank you, chef.
Really good, indeed.
Thank you very much.
You hear something like that from a chef that's at the caliber of chef Ramsay, it's just it's unbelievable.
It feels good, man.
It really does feel good.
Next up, hanger steak.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Me and Royce had just gone up against each other with the lobster challenge, so it's kind of a rematch.
I know he's definitely looking for redemption, and I'm I'm ready for it.
Christina.
Chef, we have a hanger steak.
I have it marinated in lime juice, red pepper flakes.
I have a panko-parmesan crusted and pan-fried eggplant wrapped around grilled asparagus.
It's delicious.
Really good, indeed.
Steak nailed perfectly.
Thank you.
Love the crispiness of the eggplant.
Not again! The big issue is this.
You put yam on a plate, you need to give it some help.
Yeah.
Big time.
You're right, chef.
It's a clump of dull mess.
Yeah.
And it's such a shame because everything else on the plate you've nailed.
Royce.
I work in a steak house.
I know how to cook steak.
This is Royce.
This is what I do.
I pan-seared the crab cake along with a port wine beurre blanc.
I have a demi-glace with the steak.
I have fresh-grilled vegetables, squeezes of lemon, and served medium-rare.
It looks fantastic.
It's got finesse.
I wasn't inspired with this.
It was undercooked.
It's spongy, and it's Oh, .
Ehh! Damn.
What a shame.
I know that I under-seasoned my yams, but I also know that chef Ramsay didn't, you know, discard them from his mouth.
Such a shame, 'cause everything else you've nailed.
I've got an issue with the yams on Christina's plate, and an issue with your eggplant.
I mean, come on! Congratulations Come on! Come on! To the red team.
Thank you, chef.
Come on! It's like, aw, man That's two times.
Two challenges in a row.
Poor Royce.
I feel really bad for him.
Okay, next one is the battle of the flat iron steak.
Let's go.
With the score tied, it's time for Dana and Patrick to show what they were able to do with flat iron steak, potatoes, mushrooms, spinach, and blue cheese.
Dana.
I grilled the flat iron steak, some sauteed spinach.
The sauce on top is a cabernet reduction with wild mushrooms.
It looks a mess.
I'm not going to eat food that's been sat in a swimming pool.
Oh, God, help.
This isn't a good start.
I'm just hoping that the flavor's there, the taste is there, and that he'll get over the presentation.
The meat's ragged, overcooked and it's dry.
That's your worst performing dish so far.
Patrick, talk to me.
What is that? I have a seared flat iron steak, chef, with a roasted wild mushroom and red potato hash and a blue cheese cream sauce.
Mm-hmm.
Taste.
So salty.
It's like you just clumped a big lump of salt in there.
You've got blue cheese, which is naturally gonna salt things anyway.
Yes.
Yes.
So it's just Ill-conceived.
Both of you, no points.
I mean, bitterly disappointed! After poor performances from both teams, the score remains tied.
Chef kicked the living crap right out of me.
My wife's gonna tell me, "you always salt too much!" So I'm sure that's gonna be a fun one at home.
Now, Barbie and Brian are each hoping their New York strip with celery root, tomatoes, cauliflower, and shrimp will give their team the lead.
This is my point If Barbie beats me, I will slam my head into the first hard, blunt object I can find.
Okay, Barbie.
I have a grilled New York strip surf & turf with a celery root mash, roasted cauliflower, a little salad of heirloom tomatoes.
The New York steak's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
Shrimp are cooked perfectly.
Ow.
Brian.
Hello, chef.
What I have for you today is a New York strip tagliatta.
It's Rosemary and Dijon crusted.
On top is a little bit of celery root frite.
On the side is a little bit of a warm salad.
It's some of the heirloom tomatoes mixed with shrimp.
Temperature's nailed perfectly.
Cauliflower, shrimp works brilliantly.
Tough one.
Congratulations to the red team.
Yes! Wait.
And the blue team.
Good job.
Really good job.
Thank you, chef.
Really good job, indeed.
Thank God.
Thank you, whatever is up there.
Gracias, San Pedro.
With the score tied at two going into the final round, it all comes down to Robyn and Clemenza.
Battle of the rib eye.
Let's go.
Come on, Clemenza! It comes down to the tie breaker now.
I am a little nervous at this point.
I didn't really have enough time to finish that dish.
Clemenza, what is that? Pan-seared rib eye with a glazed charred-corn relish with a little bit of bacon and some fried parsnip.
I'm just gonna pray that I didn't undercook my rib eye.
The steak Slightly undercooked.
The "High-Steaks" challenge is tied at two, and Clemenza is hoping his pan-seared rib eye will come out on top.
We're tied.
We need Clemenza to get the point.
The steak Slightly undercooked.
We need Clemenza's point.
It's delicious.
Thank you, chef.
Absolutely delicious.
The steak is missing two minutes in the oven, however, you've done it justice.
Thank you, chef.
Right, Robyn, what is it, please? Coffee and flour-encrusted rib eye with bacon, corn, and broccoli.
I'm up here instead of Kimmie.
That's a lot of pressure right now.
I'm hoping that my dish is gonna win, but Clemenza's dish definitely looks good.
The frittata's seasoned beautifully.
Thank you, chef.
Damn, the bad news is it's overcooked.
Um, the rub is disgusting, it's wet, it's soggy, and it's overcooked.
Dreadful! Congratulations, blue team.
Men win.
Damn it, man, I hate to say it, but yeah, I'm I'm the mack daddy, baby.
I'm feeling like that we didn't get the point, and I feel Kimmie right next to me, and of course she was crying.
I didn't make the decision.
Your teammates made the decision get over it.
Just to confirm in my mind what went on there, Kimmie, I want to taste your dish.
Bring it up.
Let's go.
But since the crybaby's crying, let the crybaby put her steak up there.
It is it is delicious.
It's almost like a sort of barbecued short rib.
I knew exactly what chef Ramsay was going to say.
I knew he was totally gonna say her dish was the best.
I knew it.
All of you, come up here and take a taste of that meat.
Come around here, please.
Yes, chef.
Just take a lump of meat.
I've cut it up for you.
Thank you, chef.
It's really great flavor.
It's good.
Okay, it tastes good.
But it looks like a pile of on a plate.
Ladies, I am sorry, but I don't know where you're coming from because that is delicious.
Wrong choice.
I feel so much redemption right now, you have no idea.
That proves to my team that I know how to cook steaks.
I do this for a living, people.
Bad choice, ladies.
Yeah, you're right, chef.
Because that would have given Clemenza a run for his money, let me tell you.
Blue team, congratulations.
Thank you, chef.
You've got a unique day.
To start off with, you'll be going shopping at one of my favorite hangouts, Sur La Table.
Blue team with another win, and we go get to go shopping for knives and whaaaat? But there's more.
You're going to one of the best restaurants in California Comme Ca.
Yes! Chef David Myers has prepared the most amazing lunch for you all.
I'm stoked.
We're gonna eat, we're gonna shop.
It's like a chef's dream.
Blue team, good job.
Well done, Justin.
Now, piss off.
Good job.
Thank you, chef.
Red team, tomorrow, in Hell's Kitchen, it's steak night! You've got a very busy day ahead of you.
I have a special delivery.
There's a side of beef arriving.
.
So when the beef arrives, unload the truck, bring in the carcass, and get it prepped ahead of tomorrow night's dinner service.
Got it? Yes, chef.
I'm super pissed off because my dish would have won that .
And I just know it's gonna be a long day ahead of us.
Come on, let's go.
Today! Let's go! Holy .
Rrrrrrr! Wow, that's one big half of a cow.
This is a big piece of meat.
You're kidding me.
Like, it's huge, man.
Like, me and Clemenza could have laid down next to each other and still not have been as big as this cow.
One, two, three.
Unh! me, dude.
This is ridiculous.
Like, this is definitely a punishment that the boys should be having because how the are we gonna carry this? me! Ah Holy ! Look at this! Holy crap! That's a dead animal.
Look at the size of that.
I see six chicks trying to pick up a half a cow.
It's kind of funny, actually.
'Cause we've been getting our asses handed to us, and we've been getting a little abuse, so uh, let them bring in the beef.
Dude, you see the size of that thing? You're kidding me.
Can we get a forklift? The boys get to go on an amazing shopping spree again.
Oh, I'm pissed off as all hell.
It's just not fair.
It's not fair! Holy Do you need more help in that back? Yes.
I feel like I got 250 pounds back on this ass end of this cow.
I mean, it's just like I can't barely breathe.
Kimmie's, like Is she gonna make it? Like, is she gonna be all right? One, two, three! Okay, that was fun.
While the women are ready to do some chopping We're going to Sur La Table? The men are ready to do some shopping.
Sur La Table! Can't wait.
I think I'm gonna get an espresso maker.
I don't know.
Sur La Table is basically Disneyland for chefs.
How 'bout that, right? It's gorgeous.
I want that 7-inch Santoku right there.
Oh, what about an ice cream maker? I'll get an ice cream maker.
Done! Yes! I'm like a kid in a candy store.
My eyes are lit up, and I'm just beaming off of 50 million things I see and I already want.
I'm loving it.
Clemenza bought half the store today.
I think he bought a soda machine, a juicer, a peeler He was just going nuts.
He made sure he spent every penny.
Don't forget the little piece of candy.
Yeah, baby! While the men enjoy the spoils of victory, the women I'm so pissed.
We were this close.
Deal with the agony of butchering the meat.
I should have felt the steaks.
Even though I couldn't taste them, I could have felt them.
To lose the steak challenge, it's incredibly disappointing.
Honestly, it's Robyn's fault we lost.
Dude, next time you definitely gotta sell your .
I was trying.
Robyn just kept talking over me.
I feel like I'm constantly getting dirty looks behind my back because they don't have enough to do it to my face.
There's no team in the red team.
It's let's all turn against each other now.
Yeah! Let's go! Nice lunch.
I cannot wait to eat.
Chefs, welcome.
Great to have you.
We're thrilled.
We have a really special meal planned for you today.
Thank you very much.
I'm stoked.
We get to get out.
We get to sit down as a team, relax again, have a nice lunch.
We deserve it.
Oh, my God.
Animal.
You can bring your taser back.
It's okay.
The guys are guys.
They're young.
Excuse me.
You know, I'm older, and I'm kind of acting as a little bit more of the father figure.
What's the matter with you? Wow.
I said excuse me.
It was an accident.
I had a reflex.
Listen, young man, we will leave here right now we will leave here right now! Take that to go! You know, it's cool.
It's good to laugh a little bit outside of the pressure and the stress that is Hell's Kitchen.
You guys can never keep it clean.
No.
No.
We could try it.
Blue team's kinda bonding.
Everything's good right now.
We're having some fun.
We're loosening up.
We let ourselves relax for once, and it was a really good feeling.
Salud! Chin-chin.
Chin-chin While the good times are rolling for the men's team, in the red kitchen Barbie, I think took my knife kit.
Accusations are flying.
If we're gonna use other people's knives kits, we gotta respect it.
Mine gets used all the time.
I have the only dull chef's knife in here.
I'm just saying we gotta respect each other's knife kits.
It's just how you say it, Robyn.
You say it with aggression, and you well, you know what, I don't change the way you speak, Kimmie, so I'm not gonna change the way I speak.
Robyn's got this attitude today.
She feels like because I outshined her on the rib eye today.
I totally outshined that bitch, and she's totally jealous, that's all that it's about.
I'm not gonna talk to anybody unless I need to.
That's kinda bitchy.
Kimmie thinks she can talk to anyone the way she is because she's 350 and 6'2".
It's not gonna work.
Kimmie, I don't think I'm bitchy at all.
Everyone's giving dirty looks.
Which means you're in that as well.
I just said everybody.
Oh, my God, Robyn, I'm not in the mood today, dude.
I'm so not in the mood.
I'm totally getting close to bitch slapping this girl today.
Just quit talking, or it's gonna get ugly.
I don't think I need to be by her right now because she's really pissing me off.
Kimmie, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Robyn, just stop talking.
I don't have to stop talking, Kimmie.
This is gonna get ugly.
Unh! Kimmie! After losing the "High-Steaks" challenge, the red team is faced with a grueling day of punishment.
And everyone's patience with Robyn is wearing thin.
Everyone's giving dirty looks.
Which means you're in that as well.
I just said everybody.
Robyn, just stop talking.
I don't have to stop talking, Kimmie.
Ugh! Kimmie, just relax, just relax.
It's ridiculous.
I'm just not gonna be anybody's bitch.
The entire day has just been ridiculous.
The fighting in the kitchen, I'm so over all of it.
It's a recipe for failure.
Yeah! Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yup, yup! That was great.
Hi, girls.
Hello, ladies.
How are you? The girls are not really talking.
They looked beat up.
You can feel the tension in the air between these ladies.
You all right? Mm-hmm.
Me and Robyn weren't getting along at all.
I don't know how we go from best friends one day to "I'm gonna treat you like .
" I don't get it.
But I'm just gonna let it go, and I'm gonna kick ass in service tomorrow.
That's all I can do.
If I let it bother me and try to talk to the bitch, it's gonna be childish , and I'm done wi with all the childish games.
I am definitely constantly stressed on this team.
The lack of sleep and the arguing all the time.
I'm over it, so hopefully I'll be able to sleep tonight.
I doubt it, but maybe I'll be able to get two or three hours, 'cause I need it.
After a long, punishing day, the red team finally has some peace and quiet.
Well, maybe not exactly quiet.
I am so tired.
I can't sleep because Kimmie's snoring really, really loud.
This is annoying just to have to wake up and transfer rooms to go try to go to sleep.
So I'm not in a happy mood right now.
What the ? I see this Hobbit-like figure pop up.
What's that? And it's Robyn.
We could use not to have her there.
It was just so creepy.
If you see someone in here again, it's me.
Dude, that's our room.
My God.
Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but Really? Really? I don't want the energy in this room changing at all.
Getting mixed up with the red team and their cattiness "I'm gonna be friends with you today.
I'm gonna be not friends with you tomorrow.
" That's why I don't trust anyone on the red team.
I'm just so pissed right now.
Why? Now what? They're all bitching that I slept in that room.
Are you serious? 'Cause these females are catty as .
No wonder why I don't have any female friends.
Catty.
Backstabbing.
Yeah.
Would you guys have rather me woken you up at 5:30 in the morning and asked if I could sleep in your room? It's not like they own the room, so tell 'em to go themselves.
My list is gonna be changing, who I'm gonna get knocked off first.
While Robyn ponders her team's demise, up in the dorms, Patrick tries to lift his spirits with a morning ritual.
This is the most emotional thing I've ever been through missing my family.
But I'm here for a reason, and they know why I'm here.
They want me to be successful.
They want their dad to win.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm gonna do it.
All right, nothing left to do but to do it, brother.
Today is steak night in Hell's Kitchen, and both teams are looking to put their best foot forward.
We pumped up, ladies? I am.
Check what we have for backup underneath so we know.
I don't want to be caught with my pants down.
I'm nervous going into service because it is steaks, and he's opening a steak house.
It's gotta be there.
We gotta be on point, and we gotta keep it really tight today.
Brian.
Yeah, bud? Get all that together right away, because we're gonna be popping real soon.
Got it.
Justin's a machine, and he wants everything perfect.
Not too much, bri.
A little bit.
We're good.
Do we got spoons in all those? That would be a helpful thing.
Here.
Like, dude, relax.
We have time.
Clemenza, you really need a blanching pot over here.
Justin kind of micromanages everybody.
He's busy barking out orders.
Shut your mouth.
Do what you gotta do.
If I need your help, I'll ask for it.
Clemenza, check those carrots, 'cause they weren't cooked when I checked them.
You heard me? I heard you.
Take a chill pill.
You got that bacon over there, right, Royce? While Justin won't settle for less than perfection, over on the red team They're supposed to be sliced.
Like that? I don't know.
Who cares? Tiffany's practices are called into question.
Tiffany doesn't care about her standards.
And I'm not gonna let her bring us down.
Tiffany's onions, they were too thick.
Tiffany.
The onion is cut way too thick.
Barbie's trying to do a little kiss ass today too with chef Andi 'cause she thinks she's gonna win.
So good luck, Barbie.
Barbie, always calling people out to make herself look good.
"Yeah, these onions aren't right.
" Okay, great, then fix 'em.
Barbie knows everything.
She knows how to cook everything.
You know, she's the H.
B.
I.
C.
Yeah, you know, That bitch.
She needs to mind her own business and worry about herself.
We really don't have time for this.
You know that, right? Ugh, honestly! I could just break something over her head right now.
Tiffany, I have to redo these? Yeah.
Thank you, Barbie.
I didn't realize you run the show.
Going into service in under 30 minutes, there's now, you know, this fight between Barbie and Tiffany happening.
We don't have time for this today during prep.
Don't with me, bitch.
Be one thing if you could actually cook on a line first before you start running your mouth.
With less than 30 minutes before Hell's Kitchen opens for steak night, Justin is getting the blue team ready for battle.
We're gonna be popping real soon.
Got it.
While Barbie and Tiffany Tiffany.
I have to redo these? Yeah.
Thank you, Barbie.
I didn't realize you run the show.
Battle each other.
Don't talk to me.
Don't look at me.
Just get out of here.
Don't with me, bitch.
It'd be one thing if you could actually cook on a line first before you start running your mouth.
She is out of her mind.
I have no idea why Tiffany is mad at me.
I don't care.
I'm not gonna let this bickering get to me.
I came here for a job.
Barbie and Tiffany are fighting, Kimmie and Robyn are still pissed off.
You don't have to be friends, but when we are in this kitchen, like, drop all of your drama at the door.
That's what we have to do if we want to win tonight's service.
Ladies, let's go.
Line up, please.
Let's go, guys.
Line up.
Quick.
Let's go.
As you know, the winner of this year's Hell's Kitchen becomes the head chef at Gordon Ramsay's Steak in Vegas.
Tonight is steak night.
So I am gonna be studying every little detail, trust me.
Justin, you did such a good job with that filet mignon, it's actually on the menu tonight.
Congratulations.
It's an honor.
Thank you, chef.
Good.
Delicious.
Really good, indeed.
Okay Alongside steak night, it's family night.
And we have a children's menu.
Nothing worse than kids getting anxious and waiting for their food, so make it count.
Yes, chef.
Okay, get on your stations.
Let's go.
Yes, chef.
Guys, here we go.
Check your ovens, guys.
This is the night I win chef's praise and admiration and get myself back on track.
It's time for a good service, and I'm amped, man.
Let's do this.
Let's do this.
Ready, guys? Let's go, ladies.
Tonight I'm on meat.
There's a lot of pressure just because right now it's steak night.
My steaks have to come out perfect every time tonight.
Let's rock this.
I'm ready to show chef Ramsay that I'm here to win this competition.
Do or die time.
Oh, my God! Medic! I just burned my hand.
Can we get a medic? Ugh! What happened? What happened? Kimmie got burned.
Yeah, bad.
Oh, my God.
Clemenza, take her to the medic.
Yes, chef.
Come on, come on.
Kimmie, you're gonna be okay.
Come on.
Come on.
Come on, don't give up.
Unh! Come on, come on.
Just stay here.
Let me call and get you a medic somehow.
We got a medic coming? What happened here? Hold on I got two burns.
I got one here and one here.
So this just now happened right here, right now? Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
It hurts so bad.
Okay, breathe.
My team needs me tonight.
You're not allowed to go back in that kitchen for right now.
Kimmie has suffered very serious grease burns to her hand and arm.
And now her future in Hell's Kitchen hangs in the balance.
I'm pretty scared.
I do not want to go home tonight, but if I can't cook, this is the end for me in Hell's Kitchen.
Okay, breathe.
How did you manage to burn yourself all the way up there? I don't know.
You need to cool the skin down.
You're not going back in there.
Just breathe while I do this.
This sucks! I know it hurts.
I know it hurts.
Hold still.
Big, deep breaths.
I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Be careful.
Breathe.
Breathe.
I need you to exhale.
Next time on Hell's Kitchen Kimmie's burn is so severe You're not going back in there.
She may not make it back to dinner service.
But that doesn't stop Robyn All hell is gonna break loose.
From going after her.
You better watch who you're calling bitch! Hey! Hey! Get in my face.
I'm just thinking, "who's gonna hit who first?" What are you gonna do? Get the out of my face, you stupid bitch! And Patrick Oh, my God! Makes a mistake so unbelievable Three filets sorry Patrick! Chef Ramsay is forced to make a drastic move.
off.
Aah! It was a stupid, bonehead move.
On a night with kids in the dining room, there's one chef thinking of his.
I keep letting my family down.
And they were so proud of me to go here.
And I'm blowin' it.
As the competition gets more intense Stop.
I wouldn't even feed that to my cat! Pressure builds She thinks she runs this place.
I've just had it.
You wanna talk, talk! And friendships are shattered.
You know what, Kimmie, if you really want to get dirty now, there's no friends in this competition because I want to work for him.
Talk, talk, talk, talk.
This is insane.
Next time Kimmie, stop it! No, Robyn! On the most in-your-face Hit me, Robyn, come here! Get the popcorn 'cause it's about to get good.
Robyn.
Robyn! Hit me! Hit me! Hell's Kitchen ever!
