I'm Ronnie Karam with me. It's gorgeous bed, Madelka. How are you, Ben? I'm great. Thank you. How are you?

Ben is being a re bean bean little bean, a little bean machine. Everyone welcome to the show. We are doing top chef as a main episode this week instead of a bonus. So welcome top chef back to the main show. Okay. Back to main show versus final two episodes. Very exciting. Yeah, it has been a while. I missed it on the main show,

even though we're still doing it every week. For those of you who've never listened to a top chef recap, we're really mean to gale. Just know, no real gales were harmed in the making of this recap. We love gale, okay? We love gale. We just like to pretend that Padma hates gale. You know, Top Chef recaps, I think, are my favorite thing that we do all year round. And I'm just so sad that we only have one more episode left because it's just, it's so hard when you have to spend

the other half of the year going around going, but for no reason, like at least when Top Chef is on, there's like a reason why you're walking around saying things like, please welcome two-time James Beard award winner, bottle of ketchup to the table, because that's my life. Did you mean to be such a meta-pastey? Did you mean to have two different spellings? Once K-E-T-C-H-U-P, the other is basically just gale, caps and up. Doesn't make sense, but it's okay, I'll commit to it. So here we are. Now these episodes do get a little more difficult towards the end because it's like, wow, look, the people who are not insane are left. And they're, they're just cooking.

Yeah. That's what we said. That's what I thought last week. And then we talked for 90 minutes. So I guess you never know, right? But I will say this, I will say this. If you haven't joined Patreon, I know we always make a Patreon, we have a good day on Mara, we use TimBoost, all that stuff. I get it. If you have not listened to our episode of Top Chef from last week, which I believe was a bonus, you have not

lived because Ronnie's pizza delivery lady Carol arrived in the middle of it. What I'm telling you Oh My god, so I got all the ring videos and watch them and I was dying laughing because it's just Carol Like you see her walking away from the door and then you just know that we were upstairs like oh, it's everything's okay She's gone now and the phone starts ringing and then it rings again Then you see Carol kind of stumbled back up the stairs staring at her phone and swiping at it, looking inside. Oh, Carol, God bless you, Carol. It was a legendary moment and I just, I cannot, I cannot recommend any higher or highly enough

that people could listen to that episode. It was also, we had so much fun on that episode too. So I just think people should listen to that bonus from last week, which I remember the bonus number for people, but I don't. So if you're listening to this later, just wait. It's in the past. It's over.

It's in the past. But I want to say something, though. I want to say something before we launch in this episode, on that bonus episode, someone wrote a comment on the post on Patreon. And so we have to take this episode with a grain of salt, by the way, speaking of seasoning and cooking. But this person said that they knew one of the coloners of the restaurant

where Gabe worked, where he was fired. And so all season long, we have been saying like, well, Gabe got fired, it's probably a me too thing And we looked up an article that was said, it's because code of conduct violations, like, oh, well, that means me to. Now, according to this person on Patreon, now, and of course, this is unverified, but this is what they said, they said they talked to the owner and the owner finally admitted it that the reason why Gabe was fired was because someone came in and ordered a $400 meal and only gave a $5 tip And so Gabe put the receipt on the Instagram and basically cursed out the customer

Which is a very different thing than me doing someone so if that is true Then I guess that's good because he is not Sexually harassed anyone, but we just don't know if it is true But that's that's the update about Gabe that we know. Well, it's kind of a annoying news. I mean, not that he didn't harass somebody, but it's kind of annoying because later here, so I love the chef going online

and publicly shaming somebody for a shitty tip. I mean, to me, that kind of makes him a hero. So then I watch this and I'm like, okay, now I have to watch this. I have to look at Gabe now through hero lens, but guess what? Still, maybe it. Don't like it. Well, I won't do it.

He's still through his teammates under the bus during restaurant wars, which is really that I've really just liked him since the beginning, but the restaurant wars moment was like my only tangible thing that I can hang my irrational hatred on. So like that's what I'm just gonna go with. Sorry Gabe, if you're listening, sorry, your excellent chef and sounds like you're a pretty awesome guy, but I've just decided I'm not gonna decide.

I just can't believe I don't like a chef that like specializes in tortillas because that's like my favorite thing in the world. Everything he does is great. All his food looks absolutely delicious. He seems super talented, but God, he drives me nuts. Yeah, I think it's what I told um, God, he drives me nuts. Yeah, I think I told myself he's gonna drive me nuts, and so therefore I've allowed him to drive me nuts.

Well, guess what? If he's driving you nuts, then you're not gonna get a tour of the Tilema Creamery. Hi, chefs. Welcome back to Night time on The Coast. Oh, the coast. Look, we're on the coast. And Gabriel is congratulating Shota.

And Shota's got a big confidence boost now, because he's done a lot better than he thought. And we see Gail telling him, don't underestimate us. And our cravings of really smart food. We are here for it. She says the same thing in the ice cream aisle. Don't take it too personally. You should see I went just picking out tires. I mean you have to basically pry her away once those teeth get onto them.

So anyway, so then we have a everyone just like talking about their journey and so show us how we really wants to lean into Japanese cooking. And for Dawn, her issue is that she has struggles with consistency, which means we have a very long montage of her not putting things on plates, like getting 75% of the components on there. So she's like, I really, really have to fix that. And I'm sure it won't happen at all this time. It's like, Don, you're not wearing your pants. Damn it, I really am always leaving something behind.

I know, don't so traumatized and it's so sad because you think back, you know, I would imagine in the future, it's like, Don, what was your biggest traumatic moment? And it was like a missing gravy boat, you know? Like I missed the boat. Don, you didn't, you've done everything you can, your power to do well. A gravy boat. Oh, really?

Okay, okay. I didn't give somebody a cheddar cookie one time. Okay, Don, okay, get out. Please leave the trauma center, Don. Please. So now it's the next morning. It's 5 a.m. And Padma's walking up to all their doors,

and she's like, wake up famous person at your door. Hello. Hello. You know I'm really serious right now because I'm wearing my tinted 70s pilot glasses. Knock, knock, knock, knock for people. Good morning. Oh, very nice calf tan, Don. Is it bring your gills closet to work day?

I mean, I'm impressed. I personally thought you'd just be wearing a giant paper bag with holes in it. So this is good. This is good. Sorry, I had to wake you. Hope you're not feeling too crampy this early in the morning. Oh, Shota, look at you. You're very smiley this morning, although to be fair, you do have a very famous person in your doorway, so you're welcome. Wow, Shoda, normally you're such a shark. Anybody get where I'm going here? Anyway, guys, I'd like to see you dance dance please where we will assemble by the coast

Whoever wins this is gonna win a tuna money get it guys anybody get it this I'm as happy as a clam because this is your last quick fire in the whole competition All right chefs. Here's what you have to do Barry gal and the sand and wait for someone to dig a rub thinking it's a clam. So last quick fire of the competition. When people think of the Oregon coast, there's one ingredient that comes to mind. Snickers bars, when you're in a gas station with gal. But to everybody else, clams!

Clams! Okay, guys, let's play an association game. Okay, say a word word and I'll tell you what I'm thinking of. Okay, you start. Pencil. Clams! Oh wow, I guess the Oregon coast isn't the only thing that makes me think of them. So don't say, oh my god, I don't work with clams. What am I gonna do? I don't work with clams. Oh really? Well guess what? I don't work with clams. Oh really? Well guess what? You're going with the crab a Crabber named Brooke. Oh, you're going with the crab named Brooke to fight clams. Say how were new lips for me? Alright, I'm going back to bed. Right now while the tides are low and you're still poor, you'll be heading out to meet my personal assistant coffee girl. She doesn't really have a name because you know they come and go

so quickly. Why even bother to learn right? You're going to Yega Creek where someone will get drunk and then be at Neatarts. But who names these places am I right? Am I right? So they get there and they're on the beach and Brooks like welcome to Neatarts Bay What's it called? Would you call? Neatarts. It's any tart. Neatarts. Neatarts. Wow. Sounds delicious.

The fifth thing, the Neatarts is that thing when Gail prays on a bag of sweet tarts and they get stuck to a knees. That's when Gail is sleeping in the fetal position. It starts eating her own knees. So Brooke is like, welcome to Neat Hard's Bay home to many different types of Clams, I heard you said over here. Sorry And Brooks like well, we've got so many different kinds of clams Gapers are the largest and you'll see a large hole and then you'll dig three feet and there's better clams

I mean, there's so many kinds of clams. This is your this is your store that you can shop in for your ingredients to find. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. Clams. Thank you. Thank you, Padma. So go at it because the world is your clam. I was going Brooke is giving tips. She's saying, you know, if you scan over the top of the land, you can see the little squirts coming out. That's what I always say. That's how you find Gallaud a party. Am I right?

Just scan and look for swerves. So Dawn is going to make a disc and then Gabriel gives this one of his super deep meaningful speeches Well, he's got like those kind of watery drunk person eyes and he's like, you know, it's really surreal to you know Pull this beautiful life out of the ground and treat it with respect. I treat my food with such great respect before I murder it, okay? Oh, okay. I'm like Avatar, Calm Down Avatar. I know, I know, thank you.

I mean, for crying out loud, how do you think the clam feels? Clams like, you know what? That was, I didn't appreciate being murdered, but now that you've said that lovely speech on reality television, I'm okay with it have at it. Yeah, it's like congratulating someone on their long career before you shoot them in the head. Like what the heck? I also just hate chefs that go on TV and say things like, I just have so much respect for my ingredients.

As opposed to like, what is Shota just there like taking a dump on his clam? Of course, it's like, yes, your on top chef. Like what am I emotionally abusing my craft mac and cheese? Fuck off. So then then Gabe gets a gaper clam, he's like, liquid, I got it. I was like, fuck you, put that clam back, but then show to get someone that's bigger. And I was really happy.

Yeah. And I'm so to love dicker clams because they're huge. And those clams are scary to me. Okay. There are certain textures that need to just stay small. Clams are one of them. Okay. I are certain textures that need to just stay small. Clams are one of them. Okay.

I don't need a clam as big as my forearm. I just don't need that. Ronnie and I just aren't into the clams in that way. So then, so now they pack up because the surf is coming in. And so they go back to surf and sand on the coast. And they start cooking and showed us cleaning his, they're like, they're cleaning their clam, they need to hot water and it's not coming up to boil fast enough. And then Dawn is struggling. She's basically just like, I mean, I know that

she doesn't work with clams a lot, but I'm so surprised that she's so bad with the clams you like to, I'm like, you are on top chef. I feel like clams are pretty rudimentary, right, for shellfish, right? Or maybe I'm just being naive. Well, you're on top chef on a seafood season. Like, you know, it's going to be a lot of seafood, right? Yeah. It's important. It's a lot of seafood. I mean, I would imagine. I would assume. I just feel like clams. There's, I don't know, she was basically just like cavemaning it with the clam. That was just like all shattered and butchered and sad. So then we go back to the hotel and they have these outdoor stations set up. And Gabriel's doing something he's cooked before and he's like, but I don't know if I can do a seafood stew in 30 minutes.

Okay. You know what? This is top chef. I know it's a quick fire. I need more than 30 minutes, like, especially when you're getting food that just got like pulled out of the sand, okay? I don't have to taste it, but still, like take some time with it. I mean, what are you gonna do in 30 minutes? You're gonna be able to clean the clams and shove them in some fucking vegetable broth with some onions. Like, what else can you possibly do?

Yeah, I know. And then he does this whole thing, a brief says, you know, he really wants to win this quick fire Because it's the last one of the season and he hasn't won yet. He's like, you know I've been in the top lot and I haven't I just haven't hit on the bulls eye and I'm hoping to do it today And like I get it he wants to win a quick fire a little feather in his cap But there's like a there's like for me I Maybe projecting this but I get like this sense of entitlement like he is owed this quick fire because he's been so good. I'm like, you are actually not owed this quick fire at all.

Sir, sir. So he tells us about the big rock, the stock rock. I think that's what it's called the stock rock. Big rock. Oh, no, I didn't, I didn't write it down. That might have been an auto cracked. I don't know. So I'm kind of rock. And he's like, this rock is from the goonies.

And that makes so much sense because he really does look like Sean Aston from the goonies. And that makes so much sense, because he really does look like Sean Aston from the goonies, right? He has his face. But the funny part is that like, he's like, this rock was in the goonies, and then they like cut away to this like clip of, this one second clip, which is like, that's maybe all they were granted of just like,

it was like a blurry clip of formations. Thanks for illuminating that problem. Thank you very much. Thanks for showing us other rocks. That rock was in, was in Goonies. Guess what? I was in glitter. Hey, you like Goonies.

You should ask you for her autograph. She ate a better finger in it. Oh, I'm sorry. Did that rock get a show on Hulu? Just asking. Sorry, it was a baby Ruth, I'm sorry. Did that rock get a show on Hulu just asking? Sorry, it was a baby Ruth, I think. Okay, so anyway, good luck doing this in 30 minutes when your water won't boil, stupid. Hey, rock, have fun hanging out not with your dear friend, Lena Waze.

And then you know when it's just like flashes of somebody and you're like, oh my God, we're totally the same. This moment is it for me with Don. She goes, I'm not a clam expert. That's for sure. I haven't learned clam anatomy. I was like girl Me too. You only knew me to same girl. No, all same. So then Gabe is seasoning his broth with kosher salt and since Morton's is evidently some sort of sponsor, he like pours the salt in and then the camera just like stays on Morton Salt like look, here's salt. Think about this, do you wanna buy some salt? Oh my God, I got that too. And I was really looking at it like wow,

fancy salt, tell me what it is. Morton salt. Morton salt has to do some marketing because these days all the cookbooks and all the chefs, they're like obsessed with diamond, I think it's like diamond crystal salt or whatever, which is apparently the better salt.

It's like not as, it's like the end kosher salt and now Morton's gotta like, they gotta get themselves more visible because they've got bad publicity in cookbook work. You know who's feeling so really hurt? Pink Himalayan sea salt, because they just got dumped. They're just like, oh, I guess we're not a thing anymore. Okay.

Thank you. Well, congratulations, Diamond. I'm so happy for you. Your reign is gonna be beautiful. Hey, Pink Himalayan sea salt, you're not really welcome in this challenge, but if you want to go hang out with that rock over there, that would be really famous for some people

So showed us like I have only one goal stopgabe from winning a quick fire Yeah, which I appreciated greatly and he's like he's doing this whole thing and he's trying to get his He's I think dealing with like purple varnish clams or butter clams whole thing and he's trying to get, I think dealing with purple varnish clams or butter clams or something. And he basically stabs himself and the medic has to come. And he's essentially cooking, he's doing his quick fire with one hand and the other hand's behind his back while the medic is tending to it, which is pretty crazy.

And then Dawn is trying to puree her clam soup, which seems a little crazy to me to puree her clam soup, which seems a little crazy to me to puree the clams up in the soup for the bisque. But I was figuring for like a light chop where you like puree it, but then there's still chunks of stuff in there instead of like a silky smoothie. Like a smoothie, right?

And more Dawn just look like every scene looks like, I don't know, all I can think of is like Mr. Mom, you know, where it's like you're taking care of the kids and everything's just so rough, you know, there's, you try and put some laundry detergent into the laundry machine, but then it fills the house up because you can't do it. So how do I hold this hand blender?

She like for some reason, that's like a bubble bath overflowing in her kid or station, it's like, why did you get that there, Don? So then three, two, one, times up, non-bloody hands up. I'm here with the lady who never brings correct coffee, grumpy, crabby face. All right. Gabe, Adam, she tell us what you made.

And he's like, I made soba de mariscon guppery poch clams. I'm like wow gapers. You know, I never really liked gapers, but now I'm used to them. You get used to gapers when you had enough restaurants with gale when the dessert tray comes out. Gapers, am I right? Anyway, I've been teaching my assistant how'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper.

I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper.

I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm a rapper. I'm was like, well, the gapers were harder to peel. Thank you so much Gabe for ruining this perfectly good clam.

So Don did a clam bisque with apple and pepper salad on top. And she's like, yeah, I had a little trouble pureing it. And Pat and goes, hmm. Here she makes this scrunched up face and nods. Like, ew, what a what poorly pureed clam. Let me give you the face I gave Gail the time that she tried to wear some new shorts around set, ew. And Shota made Saki Yuzu clams.

And Brooks, like, what's the crunchy pieces here? And he's like, it's the outer edge of the clams. And you just see Brooks' face slide up. She loves shit like that. Like, give me an outer rim of a, you know, something or the part you throw away normally or something. She's like, hmm, fried it, what vision? We like to call that the gal of the clam, you know,

the crispy outer edge. Better when it's fried. So Brook tells that she likes that he showcased so many different styles and textures and one dish. And then Padmer was like, well, I found some clams chewy, but I like the idea and the look of it. So it just tasted terrible though, that's all. But I love the spoon. So then I broke up. I love the idea of eating things not with a fork.

It was so refreshing to actually use a spoon, I was supposed to dribbling it down my mouth like Dale. Am I right? So then, broke up is like, Dawn, I had a to dribbling it down my mouth like Dale. Am I right? So then, um, Brooke is like, Don, I had a slight issue with the texture. I wanted more clam pieces. Mmm, yes, I love the flavor of it, but it did eat very, very grainy. This would be a moment when we would just take all the bowls and hand it down to Gal. And Brooke really liked Gabe's depth and simplicity. And she's like, wow, I thought it looked stunning.

I couldn't believe you did that in only half an hour Gabe. Gabe, tell us a grandmother's story. Go ahead. Do it Gabe, do it. All right, Brooke, please tell us which one of these made us as happy as a. Oh, sorry, I did it wrong. Backwards again. Sorry. So Gabe wins. He only took 15 weeks. I'm like, ew, you didn't deserve it. You're not owed this, Gabe.

You're not owed this. They're setting him up for the win here. Because they have a top chef. They can't say they have a top chef with no quick fire challenges. Okay. I know, I'm a rashly mad at him and I'm perfectly well deserved win.

It means to you, look, I've been mad at the guy for 13 weeks. I'm not changing it now. So Padma said congratulations Clams coast So gave like yeah, well at least I get to leave on a high note now She's like well, you just won yourself an advantage All right, thank you little coffee person see tomorrow. Don't pack it up this time

coffee person. See you tomorrow. Don't fake it up this time. I mean, Gabe, you just want yourself an advantage at the next challenge. Unlike the other contestants, you won't have, you won't have gal biting your ankles, your literal ankles. You'll be ankle burden free. Now, please welcome back your guests, James, beard of word winners, Nina and Kwame. And so they come out and Nina saying how she wants to see what else the organ coast has to offer and Padma says. Well, you wouldn't be the first chef to fall in love with the amazing local product that's here. So don't think it's special.

You're not the first. Okay. In fact, Chef James Beard himself, James Beard wore a wooden chef, James Beard, was born and raised here in Portland. And that's why we're making additions inspired by the beautiful, wonderful, brilliant James Beard. Your main ingredient today is Beards. Enjoy. Hey, chefs. So, a lot of people have won James Be Beauty Awards. I mean, two of them are right here. Nina was the 2018 winner of

Besheth South and Kwame. I believe in 2019 you were the rising star of stupidville. Is that what it was? I can't remember. Wow, rising star thought you had swagger. You didn't have before. I guess that's why. So now the question is a rising star award as good as an Emmy award. I just want to know. Anyone here been nominated and don't got 20 20 best chef in Texas and showed us was showed us been a semi-finalist for rising star for three years, but he didn't get it. Wow, has it great to be a star that's sort of in a middle position in its rise and then kind of falls back down again? Wow, what's it like to be the tortilla of breads? Just never rises. What's it like to be a star that's just walking along on the street looking at airplanes up above? Wow, what's it like to win the James Whips I shaved award? Is that called just like a rolling star? Just one that just tumbles down to him.

Gabe, Gabe, now tell us what you want. I haven't been nominated. No, no, but seriously, Gabe, because look, these two one two things and these two have been nominated. What about you, Gabe, tell us. I sent a mean text to someone who left a shitty tip once. Wow, loser. Okay, whoever wins this, wins the James Beard Award. Don't know how to pronounce it.

Well, it just seems like they're giving him out to literally anybody. Look, literally that clam has one, rising clam star. Shoulder has a few to lose to a clam. Please welcome to time James B. Edward winner and food and wines rising chef of all of the century, a clam. It's time for commercial. It's time for a crap and of all of the century. A club! Celebrity Beef, you never know if you're just gonna end up on TMZ or trending on Twitter or in court. I'm Matt Bellasife. And I'm Sydney Battle. And we're the host of Wonder

's new podcast, Dis and Tell. Each episode explores a different iconic celebrity feud. From the build-up, why it happened, and the repercussions. What deserve session with these feuds say about us? We're starting off with a pretty messy love triangle between Selena Gomez and Justin and Haley Bieber, a seemingly innocent TikTok of Selena talking about her laminated eyebrows. It's snowballed into a full-blown alleged feud. But it doesn't seem like fans are letting up anytime soon. Despite both Selena and the Bieber's making public statements denying any bad blood.

How much of this is teen jealousy and lovers quarreling, and how much of it is a carefully crafted narrative designed to sell albums? Follow this and tell wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wondering app. Oh. All right, well first it's time for the final elimination challenge. Since we're here on the coast. It seems only right.

It seems only right that we pay homage to James hair on his face. Am I right? By cooking with one of his favorite ingredients and Kwame is like the dongeness crab. Now what the fuck? I thought this is another clam challenge. All right, we're gonna have to rewrite these cute. Okay, they're already rewritten. But hold them close to my face. I don't want Kwame stealing my lines. Hold on one second, I have to get on my phone.

Enjoy everybody. Now I have a question.

Dungeoness crabs. Are those crabs that live in gales dungeon? Is that what that is? All right, don't forget only two hours, chef. And they're like, oh my god, it really is getting harder. And what's his buns? One, Gabe one. So he's like, my man, Gigi is gonna take you crabbing. And I was like, well, that's one way to live

in that part of the last episode. So bring Gigi on. I know, but it's not Gigi from Shaz. It's just Gregory calling himself Gigi now. And then Pappa, this is how she leaves the scene, because they're about to go crabbing and then shopping. She goes, I can't wait to eat all this crap. Bye! She's like, okay, bye. Bye. Bye. I'm going to go dig up some crabs from the sand. Hey, I guess what we're doing now? It's a scene of driving up the coast.

It's the coast. So now they go crabbing with Gregory, which looks super fun. And, uh, by the way, who's the most unenthusiastic crapper I've ever seen. He's like, wow, Gabriel, you were so lucky. You won today. You want a day with Gigi, that's me. We're going to gently bring crabs out of the water and let them pinch us because they deserve to pinch people too. So they are, yeah, they're just like crabbing and stuff. Gabe sort of falls over on his boat, which I liked. And then, I then, being in Oregon, where there's just such beautiful things to be grateful for, like, Dungeonous Crab.

I mean, just the spirit of the Crab coming through me, I can't wait to respect the fuck out of this Crab, okay? Because I didn't come to Top Chef with any other intention other than to win Top Chef. I respect all of God's creatures, and that is why I'm going to pull this crab out of its home and then terrorize it to death in a steaming pan. Chop it in half in front of its brother and pull out its innards. I respect the fuck out of this crab so much that I'm gonna ask its father if I can marry it

before a chop it's fucking head off. Love you, crab. Thanks for everything. So then afterwards they go and they eat crabs, which is like, I forget Ronnie, are you a crab person or no? No. Wow. No, I mean, I'm eating it, you know, I'll eat it, but in general, no, I don't like the things that you see their whole body and their eyes and all that. And also work, I really don't like the things that you see their whole body and their eyes and all that and also work I really don't like work They are a lot of work, but I think you if you when you know how to like open them up and get into them Then they're not as much work, but they're no I was just like no, that's what you told me new Orleans when we went to that seafood place

You know, I got crabs are good, you know, and then what we had That's true fish. We had tons of stuff on there. Remember, we had the whole seafood pile of dead things that we ate. And you're like, look, this is so easy. And then you're like, here, first you take this reds. And then you take hammer, then you ask the waitress if she has a grill or a drill, do not be ashamed of asking, okay, then this table saw.

This is totally accurate. So, so anyways, so they're just like talking over these crabs and showed us saying how he was in Barorecy be Japanese when he was a kid and like kids would look in his lunch box and I was like, oh, sweet, sweet soda with a little lunch box. So, but he's going to still do his Japanese food. And then, right kids, isn't it, isn't it kind of sweet revenge now? Cause kids take bento boxes and stuff to school now, right?

Yeah, now that's the thing. That's the thing. That's the Hunter made, yeah. You wait. And then Gregory now asks like a very, like, I feel like a passive aggressive question. It's like, it's a question for the whole table, but clearly directed at Don. He's like, so's a question for the whole table, but clearly directed at Don. He's like, so how's the clock going? Cause you all should know how much time you need to get everything on the plate. This is a general question and not directed at Don whatsoever. But if you are having

issues getting things on the plate, maybe look at the clock once in a while, just in your year. Well, I hope that the guest judge today isn't father time or Don's fact, but okay. that the guest judge today isn't father time or don's fact. But okay. You know, and he goes because don admits it. She's like, yeah, it is definitely my biggest challenge. And I can totally admit that. And he's like, yeah, well, when you realize what holds you back, like,

what's really important? Like look, you, you realize that you have too much on the plate and that holds you back. So just have less on the plate. Yeah. I'm really. And she off because as a chubby person, people have told me that my whole life. And I know he's not talking about the same thing,

but it's so frustrating to hear. Well, she definitely gives him a look like fuck you. Yeah, it doesn't even need to be on the plate. Okay, just get it in me. Get it in me. So now they go shopping in this store, which has like amazing produce, and they get all this cool stuff and Gabe wants to make

crab fat tortilla and Lopsy finds lobster mushrooms and show to find the dikeon he's excited about and he wants to make a really good dashi and Dawn's are talking about crab oil. So it's like a whole nice shopping scene cracked me up the Gabe I'm gonna present something brand new to the judges. I was like, crazy tortilla, I wrote. A tortilla. Yeah, and he's like, a tortilla made with quid. Wow, it's a crazy tortilla, nah.

Count with him. Let me guess you're gonna make a mole. Let me just guess. Yeah, he's off the mole. He's onto soups now, but tortillas, he's gonna still go stronger tortillas. So now, it's the next he's off the mola is he's on to soups now, but tortillas he's gonna still go strong with tortillas So now it's the next day and show it in Gaber just standing on the beach by the coast and Gabe is talking about how he's seen so much personal growth on this journey and then we have this montage

I so I love this it's a montage of Gabe doing great like all season long. It's like and the winner is Gabe Gabe. Oh Gabe what you cook was magnificent. This is wonderful. This is some of the best food We've had all season long Gabe you're really wonderful and then right in the middle of it Pamela goes We have liked so much of what you've cooked for us, but tonight was not one of them So great Gabe this dish really made me realize how not famous you really are. Oh, I'm sorry, Gabe. Did I interrupt your montage of you cooking well? Sorry. So Gabe is like, wow, you really got a dig deeper than you've ever digged before. Okay, this is not the blind side, sir.

Okay? I just expect Sandra Bullock to walk in half the time. Like, it's gonna be okay. We're gonna do this together, buddy. Well, okay, but I certainly hope you can dig deeper. Otherwise, you'll never get that James Beard Award nomination, like everyone else. Well, gay, oh, sorry, I was back on the path in my mind.

So he's like, now I understand how I'm gonna get this win. TOTIYA! TOTIYA! So then they go, they meet up with Don, they just like talk and she talks about how she doesn't mind being nervous. I mean, she wasn't ill-embit, so, you know, she knows how to deal with nerves. And then they go into the kitchen and there's Tom, I was like, hey, I'm on the Olympics. So, you know, she knows how to deal with nerves. And then they go into the kitchen and there's Tom, I was like, hey, uh, morning chefs. And so they're all nervous,

because showed us that it's like, yeah, if you see Tom in an unexpected area, it's either a twist where he's trying to scare children. Okay. He's literally sitting in a white van in the kitchen. I'm terrified. Okay. Yeah. If you see me in an unexpected area, like behind the bar, I'm trying to be a mixologist, because you'll never find me there. You should be scaring. So he's like, this is why we're hats now. Okay, sick of scaring everybody. Don't don't don't inspect your Palatma. So he's like, sick, well, guys, I wanted to give you a little chat before you start cooking. James Beard loved this idea that this area and you're cooking with one of his favorite ingredients. And I wanted to bring someone on.

They give you a little encouragement. She's the queen of farm to table. Everyone, welcome. That's what ours. So then start to crying, you know, because everybody loves them. Some Alice waters and she's like, I met James Beard 40 years ago at Sherpody. He said it was like eating at someone's home. He understood me.

He would take out a snapkin. He would tie the round the snack. It's very important to him that you can taste the freshness. Well, thanks for teaching us that fresh food is better Alice. So people are fresh food, huh? I am so pleased to meet you. It is not for me to be here as a future Meryl Street character in a Nancy Myers film. She's like so Nancy Myers. She's like,

hi, I'm Alice Watchers. Had I had to say, one of the great honors of my life was having a man tired of getting around his neck and say, you have a very, very, homely restaurant. So Alice, maybe you could tell the chefs when James Beard just started standing on the boardwalk handing out James Beard nominations to literally everybody who passed by like there were fliers to a strip club. Okay, maybe you could explain that to us. It is such an honor to see the faces in person of so many James Beard nominees. And then that's man with the beard. I don't know who he is

So Tom said don't go. Well guys, you have a future under the crab What Just like that he just exclamed shut the laptop and one more thing How do you house How do you Alice? Oh Alice waters. So she's like a huge icon. Oh my head hurts. He like opens a laptop.

Alice when the laptop closes it didn't actually hit you just hit just close the picture. Oh, I apologize. So Don is doing a cashew soup and she's gonna do a bright crab salad and she's gonna pickle some mushrooms to brighten everything up. But isn't this kind of what she just did in the last challenge? I don't know, this one scares me because,

I mean, they were using clams obviously, but remember she made the pureed chowder. Oh yeah, yeah, and then she added like a little salad on top. And so I'm a little do a diacon for his warm course. And he's going to braise it like a lot of seafood. So it takes on a lot of flavor. And he has a lot to do. And he's like really scared of the time frame. Yeah. And he's like, yeah, I mean, I've really just recently heard of Alice because I'm newer than the Americans. But from what I get, this dish should do some, have something to do with like keeping your windows tablet turned upside down for. I'm confused.

Am I on? Am I on? Am I on? Alice. Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Alice, the camera is going up your nose. Just put it down on the table

She just comes in on one of those things like an iPad attached to wheels, you know like that So Gabe is like yes, it's such it's so incredible to hear Alice's memories of James beer It's a true honor to be cooking and memory of him. Okay. All right. All right sir. Go back to your Alice's memories of James Beard. It's a true honor to be cooking in memory of him. Okay, all right. All right, sir. Go back to your tortilla. I'm kidding. Well, I'm out dedicated to Stority, huh? Two James Beard.

The one thing that James Beard absolutely hated. What are they? There I said it. So Tom's like, well, you know, James Speard is the Dean of American Cooking. All right, he was a living, breathing person who taught people. He mapped his diversity with food, you know? Like sometimes you think, how did this food get here?

Well, I'll tell you why, because people from other countries brought Tom, you better get back on your fucking block, Tom. All right. This is my show we're talking about now. This is not your who lose show Tom. All right now let me just interrupt really quickly, Shes to say what is chop see we all right back to it loser. And while Tom is like talking about James Beard he's sitting in front of this big window and like the window is looking out onto you. The coast. And you just see like this random lady walking around back there. It's like that's a day show. He's like, oh, well, you know, James Beard

is a, you know, his legacy is amazing. And he taught so many people. It's like, there's Carol. There's Carol, the pizza. Hey, I want to leave it out here this time with the floor. And the thing that's great about James Beard is, we know we mapped out so many things and we'll hold on one second. Oh, I didn't order a pizza. We can go get a workshop.

Can't do that. I'm going to call home base. All right. So Tom ends his speech, he goes, you know, I mean, looking around, James Beard, we'd get a kick out of this diversity. I was like, oh, crins. Okay. So then Gabe is like lobster mushrooms for crab,

Sal and lobster and crab. It's going to be crazy. And of course, for the hot course I'm doing crab fat tortillas, which I respect. And just because Ben said it wasn't going to happen today I would like to just add this in mole rojo Oh you made it mole I didn't choose of course he made it mole

oh yeah it's a tortilla I thought the sun I didn't realize the sunstrokes were part of the mole of course well I take it all back yes you have to it's like doing beauty in the beast without plates that dance around You have to, it's like doing beauty and the beast without plates at dance around. You can't do it. But we all know all the plates high whenever Gales and the audience. When Gales and the audience, the plates actually run. Playing the part of B.R. Guest is no one.

The cast is on protest. Gales here. So that really even made sense. So um, anyway, so actually like that whole thing up and she put branch in the Mrs. T-Pot. That was awkward. He never lived until you've been yelled at by your dear friend, Angela Landberry. Three meals a day she wrote. So more like in the morning, three meals in the morning. So now they're just like cooking and Shoda is making some delicious looking sushi. And so now the moment we've all been waiting for when the

judges on top chef pretend they are boarding a spaceship on our in army get in and going to save every single episode. They're kill Bill entrance. I need them to just like drag swords on the ground if they make these slow motion entrances. Every single time it's like they think it's like they they film them like literally there's an asteroid coming to earth and they are the only people That can save us, but instead they're just like going to have a very refined meal. So So they sit down Chefs, I want to welcome everybody here and also Naomi Pomeroy, who is another James Beatlevard winner. Do you hear that game? Someone else? Someone else is here There's another James Beatlevard winner. Did you hear that game?

Someone else? Someone else is here. And whenever Naomi's on the show, I always have to tell the story about when Michelle, actually I don't know if this is really that funny of a story in retrospect, but Michelle Collins and I, we were on Top Chef Masters, as I've mentioned before, we were diners. And the whole thing was these these amazing famous chefs were, it was like a fast food restaurant, and so they were making all this food,

but some of them were like expediting the food or like bringing the food to the tables. So Naomi Pomeroy brought our food to the table. And Michelle was like, excuse me, do you work here at the restaurant? And she was like, no, I'm one of the chefs. Just like one of these moments where it was like, it was like, you know she wanted to be like, I am a James Be chefs. It was just like one of these moments where it was like,

you know, she wanted to be like, I am a James Beard of One with her, ma'am. It was amazing. My favorite of her is when top chef, is on top chef masters when they had to work with their moms and their moms had to explain what they were making. It's like, mom, you're fucking moron! She's gonna kill her mother on the other side of the wall.

Yes, I forgot about that. So good. And she's always like, got this like, I'm a firecracker. Kind of look about her. Today her hair is like up and kind of an up to you. And she just purses her lips when Padman says she's a James board winner. So anyway, whoever makes it out of here will compete for the title of person who gets to kiss Steven Tyler's daughter and her feature debut. Whoever wins this competition gets to put an animal cracker on live Tyler's

stomach. So chef since we update that question for you. Chefs, at this point in the competition, when it was down to the final three, what was it like for all of you? Sorry, this isn't for Kwame or Dale, apologies. And Blaze, of course, has to speak first and give the most Pat meaningless answer ever. He's like, the margin is so thin. Any little mistake can send you home. Oh, thanks, Blaze. Glad we got some personal experience in here. I thought like, you could make a few mistakes and skate by. Thanks for that insight. So because it's not like anyone

has, it's not like no one has said that all episodes long. It's like, we all know that when there's four episodes left the top chef, it suddenly we all know that when there's four episodes left the top chef, it suddenly becomes, you know, there's nowhere left to hide. You know, one small mistake, that could send you home. It's like, we know, we get it. We understand, we understand like four people left. Yeah.

And Brooke was just competing against herself. Really? So you lost your own race of getting coffee in on time? Is that like your left side was competing with your right side to make coffee? How does that work? I'm always like, yes, I agree with Brooke. And you know, basically at this point, they're good. So whoever the winner is is definitely going to be the most confident.

12 minutes. Sorry, did I say that out loud? God, it feels good. I'm not gonna lie. Dale, what did it feel like for you when there's only three people left and you just had to sit and watch by the sidelines? Could you be eliminated far earlier? But as you can add by, you know, making them feel better that it took you two times to win. in. So show it in the kitchen. His second, he was going to do two different types of sushi, but his vinegar was like messed up on the other one, and he wasn't happy with it. So he's

the size he's just going to like serve one thing. And Don, meanwhile, is very anxious about getting everything on the plate. And in this point, I'm thinking, okay, they're really trying to kind of like hype this up. Like clearly she's not going to have any more plitting issues. Like they're really just trying to create suspense. And for this book, they did all three people having life, you know, ruining moments, right? Because his, he couldn't serve a second sushi. Gabe didn't have time to chill his cold core.

So it's warm. He's turning it warm. And he goes, the coolness was going to have to come from this avocado yogurt. Like, no, because that's a warm avocado matchup, matched up with some yogurt, sir. And then Don is like, will I make it? So yeah. Yeah. So now the food starts to arrive and Gail's like, I am ready. Oh, what a surprise. And Tom does his dad joke

of the day. He goes, well, is that. Wow. Wow. Oh, wow. So Shota, what did you prepare today? And he did a crab McGurray with you, Yuzu and kosher aoli and you know, of course. Oh, no. Yuzu kosher to gear. What did I say? You said Yuzu with kosher, kosher ail. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. you see with kosher a because it's with so auto correct is I mean like what the hell kosher a only show this like I've decided I want to cook a little bit more Japanese but first I want to experiment with some some Jewish food like as it works so well for Jamie

well you know the South has gained popularity is this diamond kosher a and gal so then of course Gail says, um, the menu says two ways. Um, so what's going on with that? Oh, Gail, relax. Not everything has to be two different types of marshmallows. Am I right? Oh, Gail, calm down. If you need to feel better, just turn the menu over. We've printed James beard award nominations for everybody. Gail's been down. If you need to feel better, just turn the menu over. We've printed James Beardwood nominations for everybody. Gail's been obsessed with things being quote unquote two ways ever since she found those

reversible kool-ots. So, she'll just like, yeah, well, that didn't really come out right in Gail goes, oh, so it's only one way. Yes, Gail, we got it. All right. Jesus, why don't you just nail them to a cross-gale? For crying out loud, Gale, he's not famous. Why are you being so mean to him? Oh, that's right. He's not famous. Yeah. I haven't seen Gale this upset since they left cheese after steak and fairly. So Gabe serves his Dungeons crab and lobster mushrooms and Tom's like, uh, this

is supposed to be a cold preparation. Why the hot soup? I mean, it's sort of like, we tell you, the only way you're going to get success is if you make a cold soup, it's like we tell you exactly what you have to do to get ahead. And then you go and become a misalysis. Doesn't make any sense. Now Gabe does know how to answer these questions. And the other contestants should learn from him. He's like, Oh, well, that's intended. The salad, you know, it needs to be room temperature. It's intended for the salad. So it needed to be room temperature, which good answer. Never take any blame. Now does it make me hate you? Yes. But I also respect your answer in this situation.

So Dawn says, oh, I'm a Dungeonless crab salad with a cashews soup and pickled oyster mushrooms and pomegranate. These are three extraordinary dishes from three extraordinarily boring people, but only one more dish is separating you from gal. Be careful. She does bite. So then from gal be careful she does bite so then Dale oh we see them talking about the dishes so Dale is there and he's like super angry about everything is usual just so he'll have something to say this is this makes me it's like a meeting when you go into an office meeting and nobody wants to be there everything's done you have no reason to be, but someone's gonna come up with something to say anyway. Oh, actually, he's being right. He's being nice right now, but still he's like, he toasted the shell. I mean, I just want more. I just want more. Like, you're too intense for this meeting, sir. Yeah. Yeah. And then Kwame is like, you know, crab sushi two ways. It was like, and I then to only give us one way. And there wasn't even a lot of acid. I just want to say, but with all this time, I mean, at this point of the game, I don't think that's acceptable. I'm like, excuse me, Kwame.

Did you ever see Drojromes of Sushi? It takes like five hours to make one grain of rice with Sushi sometimes if you're doing it at an expert level. So settle down, Kwame, even though I always think you're adorable. But settle down. Also, but I just realized where I was mad at Dale, because it showedered left something off of his dip. And I was like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I But settle down. Also, but I just realized where I was mad at Dale because he showed up left something off of his dish

and Dale has been having an absolute fit about Don leaving some of his dish. But when Shota does it, it's like, oh my God, oh my God, that's Shell. Oh, I just came out my pants. Like, okay, okay. You know, it was a universal, it was a universal thing. It wasn't like everyone got one and then not Brooke, you know, it was a universal, it was a universal thing. It wasn't like everyone got one and then not Brooke, you know.

So I get that. Yeah, it's like a little different. Oh, okay, that's true. So it wasn't like a deprivation missing. Yeah, it wasn't like actually, that's a reason why I don't like this dish because it would have been better if everyone got something, but then Brooke didn't. That's my favorite. This would have tasted better when one person looks super disappointed and left out. Sort of like Gabe around all these James Beauty Ward nominees.

Her gal doing a sleeping sleepover. What is this called? A pajama party. You're sleeping sleepovers. I'm not sure. What is this called a pajama party? It's sleeping. I'm not sure. Oh, my right guys. Co-sure. It's like I told my dear friend, Lena,

where we have to have a sleeping sleeper this in. So Naomi is like, you know, I, yes, he did leave some, he did leave half of the dish off. And so we only got one bite. But you know what? If it's one delicious bite, then I'll fucking take it. All right. Yeah. Fucking take this one bite. So don't stop your bitching. I love Naomi. I love her. I just feel like she's got so much. She's saying so much more with her eyes than she's actually saying. And it's usually, don't

fuck with me. Fellas the same. My first time at the red. Yeah. So you really has that energy. It's like she has, it's like she decided, you know what, this time on top chef, I'm gonna channel Delta Burke. She didn't have a very Suzanne Sugar Baker kind of, hairdo and attitude. Agreed. Yeah, big time, it was great. I just wanted one time for someone to serve her

and her to go, call Swaiva. So then one time for someone to serve her and her to go So now it's time to go on so now we're sort of like staggering the comments with at with the cooking So so Shota's now feeling he's in better shape for course number two. So he's going he's cooking and everything And then we go back to judges the judging and it's like okay chefs What did you think about Gabe's preparation wasn't it weird that there wasn't a tortilla in the soup? Well, you know, it's an expression of where we are and the ingredients of this holy land. And, you know, he really worked himself in there with the heat, but it wasn't too much heat.

And the important thing is the respect for the trees. The sun bullshit. Stop licking Gabe's butt. We know where Tom's vote is going up the end of this. Yeah. Melissa is like the only one who finally says it like, um, it's confusing. If this is supposed to be a cold preparation that he gave us something warm. Anyone, anyone see that? Anyone? Is that a thing? No. And Ed Harris is like, well, I couldn't love this anymore. It was very, very rewarding working on Westworld. Thank you for your questions. I'm out. Yeah. So that gave us working on this tortilla and with the crab fat. So doing some of that. And now let's talk about Don's dish.

I really enjoyed the cashews sauce and I really loved how creamy it was. And Delcos, yeah, the mettingness, I really complimented the crowd. And Tom's like, well, you know, this was strong enough with just the crab and cashew. I really did not need this other stuff, which is a nice alternative to my original line. Wow, I which just had more stuff on it. Oh, Right now it's just crab and cashew. Could've gone either way. And Nina's there and she's like, I mean, she has a bad habit of whimsical garnishes

that don't really need to anything on the dish. Like, basically you dragged me out here for this shit. Really? I just love the term. She has a bad habit for whimsy. That habit of whimsy a bad habit for whimsy That happened to like gal with her lace flourishes So now dawn is in the kitchen and she's having trouble because you're supposed to have potatoes in a crab boil And that's a major component

You know you open the bag Pour it all out and there's potatoes in there. Okay. And she's running behind. So she throws him in the fryer, the deep fryer to get them done on time. And then Gabe, meanwhile, he can't find a rolling pin, which made me very happy. Um, and he's a lot, he hasn't made a sort of, he has yet, and, and, and his having issues. And then, uh, and then my favorite thing is, he uses a bottle bottle. Like I respect you, Peligrino bottle. I respect the fuck outta you bottle. He also acts like he invented that trick.

Hello, I used a vodka bottle for like 10 years before I got a rolling pin. And then, but the best thing of all time happens, which is that he's keeping his tortillas warm in a lane in napkin, but he keeps the napkin next to the grill and so the napkin melts on his tortilla. And he basically has to be like one tortilla down. I was like, yes.

And then of course I got excited to want to, you know, I was excited to find out who's not gonna get the tortilla. I was a real, fingers were crossed. It would be broke, not because I don't like broke or anything. It's more just like, I just want to see Pat my laugh again. And be like, oh, look, bro, how's your tortilla? Did you eat it already?

I don't see it. How is it? It's the best thing I've had all night long. Why didn't he just cut the tortillas in half, or in quarters and split them up that like, serve three? I know, that's what I was thinking. I don't know, but listen, I've done that mistake

where I've left the tortillas too close while I'm cooking them a burnt shit all over them. Guess what, still ate the tortilla Do I have some deadly disease now? Don't know, but it was good. Okay peanut butter fixes everything That's do you think this is the first time that Gale's eating melted linen come on serve it So Don doesn't get the potatoes in which is frustrating for her and all of us because we're like Don come on, come on. And if she had gotten those potatoes and I bet that Gabe would have gone home.

Because I think that they're going to keep it. I think that their plan was to keep them all in less some of them and less somebody like really, really, truly boneed it. I think they were going to. Yeah. So, uh, it's not only to don't not only to don not get her potatoes on But she also didn't even get a chance to wipe her plates out So they all go out and it's just so hilarious because don's has this like messiest plates and And Gail's like oh is this is this not is this not a splatter paint design?

Isn't this intentional is this intentional and Brooks like it's on purpose. It's got to be. I mean, who would just like fling paint at a canvas and be like, it's an accident, right? I mean, you know Ed Harris, right? You played Pollock. Well, I'll tell you this much. I want to take Gabe home in my trunk and eat him up.

He is so talented. But it's just so funny because it's such a commentary on sometimes like, hold, hold, hold, hold, not hold, hold, hold, but like high culture or whatever, where people are like, deciding meaning to just full on accidents, you know. Yeah, because they do come out that way and you know that they were ready to like shift get, like, Gale was like, okay, do I get to bitch at him for doing something that's so 90s as a, you know, Pollock painted a dish.

Like, am I gonna continue this today? It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down Gail, all right, with an accident. Yeah. So, so Don's Crab Oil goes out, which looks amazing. And then Gable's Crab fat tortilla, and, which looks amazing, and then gives his crab fat tortilla. Oh, I wrote it down. Mole, coloreto, and showed us Braze, Purple Diacombs with Crab.

And so the good news about Don's splattering everywhere is we got Padmins Signature question. Don, did you mean to have for your plate to have this splash, or were you just trying to do an ode to below deck sailing yacht? Um, yes, let's see here. Padmots, oh Tom gets something on his nose and she, look at you silly little Tom. Let me get that right off of your nosey, was he? Wow, look at Tom, he's so old now, He can't keep saws off his nose. How cute.

Yeah. And then Gail spilled something on her dress. Don't worry Gail, you actually improved it. Oh, Gail, that part where she's eating Don's dish and everyone has it all over their fingers. And Gail's just holding up both of her hands covered in sauce. Just the no just that knowing look on Pad and his face like, oh, God, this is getting too easy. Gell, Gell, here's an napkin. You have it all over the top part of your dress. Oh, that's the pattern you chose out. Oh, never mind. All right, well, let's start talking about, um let's start talking let's start with Naomi and start talking about Don and Naomi's like well James Beard would have We know you knew James beard congratulations. Hey, can I get an order of Naomi knows James beard so she can swallow it and show on it. Thanks

So Kwame loves the loves love that he's like, this is a delicious, delicious bowl of food. And Richard is, Richard's like, this sauce is spectacular. There's not a single error here, which is great, because there's no room for mistakes. And Harris just wants something to sop it up with. And Dom's like, well, I wanted full flavor. So I cook everything set. Oh, no, she's in the kitchen talking to the other chefs. And she's like, you know, it's hard because I do everything separately. Um, you know, Gabe, like you and your mole,

like, no, if you did the same thing, every fucking challenge, that would be more similar. Yeah. Um, and then now they're eating gabs. And Naomi's like, you know, as James Beard, my friend would have said, this sauce would have been delicious if it weren't. So Jerusalem art joke forward. Am I right, everyone? Agreed.

It's better. Dale. And then Brooks said, well, I disagree. I love it. I mean, this adds a whole other dimension to it. And the tortilla is hack, done, overdone. I love it. I mean, this adds a whole other dimension to it and the tortilla is Hack done overdone sick of it. Perfect. A green brook. A greed coffee lady. Hey brook, less sun-choke more coffee Get to it

Hey brook, son gonna choke yet if you bring the coffee wrong Brook, I asked for cream or not sun show puree. And Melissa thinks it was smart to have the tortilla to stop up the mole. And she's like, but I did have to steal some of your tortilla. And she goes, missing tortilla, that counts. Which is so gale. Gale's like always, she tortilla, that counts. Which is so gale. Gale's like always, she's like that little girl who's always playing school, you know?

Oh, go woo. Yes. Also, I thought this was a little bit unfair because normally when people forget things, they don't get to taste the other people's version of it. They're always like, well, I just didn't get it. Am I right on that? Or is that only in my head? Because... Oh, well, here, you can taste it. Taste some of mine. Because it seems like normally they're like, oh, really, Brooke, didn't get your cheese cookie.

Sorry, stupid. I forgot what I was going to say about that because I got distracted by a butterfly outside the window. Wow. Welcome to watch it. It's. No, I think. Girls like, well, you're missing a, a, a, a, a, someone is missing a tortilla. Check Gales purse.

Hey, Melissa, can you do your broken personation? I just want to close my ads pretend it was her who Mr. Tortilla. So let's talk soda's dash. Oh, well, I loved it. You know what? Very crab forward. Very crab forward. Yeah, that's what we that's what we say when we want Gale to come closer. Hey, crab forward, crab forward.

And Melissa says, yeah, I mean, he didn't really rely on butter and chili and all that heavy stuff that the other chefs did. It's like, wow, so now he's gonna get dist for using some butter and some chili. You cannot win with these people. No, they said it, though, it was Nina and she said it in a good way,

meaning that like he was able to get to the essence of the crab, but he didn't have to rely on trickery, right? Like the butter is not trickery and I'm sick of the reputation that butter is getting in this country. That's it. I'm marching. I'm marching for butter. All three of these chefs gave us beautiful food.

Well, slightly less beautiful for Melissa who was missing a tortilla, unfortunately. And they're doing justice to the Pacific Northwest, the James beard legacy and also to clams. Hey, Naomi, did this do justice to James beard? Who you know? We already know you know. And I mean, got brought away from bother. So backstage, they're just sitting around waiting and showed us

like, I'm just waiting for Padma's heels to be like, So backstage they're just sitting around waiting and showed us like I'm just waiting for Padma's heels to be like clop clop clop and then you're like clop clop clop Hi My shoes would like to see all three of you. Um, drawn's like, yeah, uh, Padma asked me if I splashed his intentional and gave guys, did you mean for your splash to be sad? I know. I'm a joke. Um, and I was, I was so when Padma said, did you mean for there to be a splatter? I was like, oh my god, she has not done enough this season. I almost like, is she self conscious about it? Have people told her, I'm like,

please keep asking that question. That's your signature. Yeah. So judges table. Nini loved everything. She's like, I could see every single show. Clap for the poor people. Clap for the poor people.

Clap for them before the best comes to take them home. I'm actually not clapping. I'm just trying to kill out the little gnats around girls head. You think gear was a rotting orange? Really? The way these things fly around. I want to hear from you. Shoda, go. Let's start with your cold prep sad face. I don't know why I wrote that. Cold preparation. So when you said crab two ways, yeah, and back count,

we know Gale. It counts. Gale say, and that counts. You know what it's like? It's like if it was top chef the video game, and they were like okay Gail we're gonna give you six lines that you have to read and then we'll you know play them depending on how the player does and like one of her lines is And that counts

You'll give us one of that and that counts like ooh. I got that that counts from Gail on the video game So said crab two ways and Gail goes um you didn't think to pivot and maybe do something without the rice. Why wouldn't you just pivot? And Kwame is like, yeah, I just needed one more thing because you know, it was supposed to be two things and there was only one thing. So it'd be great if it had one more thing. Okay.

Yeah. And showed us like, uh, I didn't really think about that. Um, Pammacles. Well, the one bite you gave us was delicious. It's just something that Gail will never say after just one bite. She needs several more. It takes courage to put one bite on a plate and some self-discipline Gail, just while we're here. All right, so now let's go on to the next dish. Oh no, yes, your war dish.

Your hot dish. Yes, which has been auto corrected to real housewives of New Jersey for some reason. Your real housewives of New Jersey dish. Can we talk about Teresa for a moment, don't you? The purple radish was perfect. That purple radish was the perfect vehicle for the crab. I mean, not quite as perfect as the BMW line of cars that massage your back. Really, all that purple radish lacked was a back massage while you drive down the coast.

Haha, even a clam can drive it. And Kwame is really impressed how he got so much flavor into a clear liquid. And Gail's like, you gave a dish that was in total contrast to everyone else. Total showstopper. Let me guess. That counts. God. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Forrest meets the ocean, you know, you really, you really told that story of Forrest meeting the ocean. Whoa, what a story. Wow. It's a story of two worlds, ocean world and wood world coming together. It's like the two worlds of me and my son. I'm a chef.

He's an exologist. I'm successful. He still got a pay-as-cable bill. And did he say the sage work was indicative of what you gave us? I don't know whatever you've been doing anymore. I didn't write down what Thomas Thomas being ridiculous this episode. Everything was like, I don't know. It was like he became Caroline Fleming. He was like mushrooms in the blueberries and the rods. Okay, it do really does. And Padma goes, but it was warm. So let's talk about your second course.

Let me guess. Wait, can I tell you what it was like when I had your hot soup during the cold course? I wasn't expecting, I was like, oh, oh, it's hot. Which is similar to, wow, which would have been good, but it said it was an, oh, which is bad. It's which would have been good, but instead it was an ow, which is bad. It's hard when you lose the woe at the beginning of wow.

So it was missing, sushi, you were missing a w out of my mouth. Okay. Anyway, you were about to say something before I just totally derailed you. Molle, wow, let's talk about your Molle. Have inventive, how creative, how new, how different. God, thankfully there was a tortilla that even after crazy inventiveness won,

it's like you just invented cars with batteries. Insane. Gales like there was a lot of intense crabbyness throughout the dish. Okay, crab fat tortillas are a big idea. But that to be fair, she also thinks capelets are a big idea too. But Melissa didn't get one and gave it like, yeah, I burned the linen on it. And they don't care.

Kwan, you said, well, you know what, all in all, I loved it. But the artichoke, wow, even though I was harshly disagreed with at the table, I will stand by it. The sun-choke artichoke, or the artichoke, took over the crab. Just, I mean, it basically just beat the crab over the head. Hey, didn't, hey, artichoke. Like, they make everything, once you disagree with somebody,

they all, like, really stand for the thing, you know? Like, yeah, this has become an artichoke episode. Who knew us? A Jerusalem artichoke. Ooh. And Nina looks like she's so over all of Kwame's critique. She's just like, it was good. Yeah, she does.

She's like, the artichoke was good. Yeah, she goes, oh, I didn't mind it. It was smart. It was good. And so Dawn made Khew soup and Thomas so foolish to it. He goes, yeah, but you know what? Sometimes you got to sell the better. I mean, just saying cashew soup. I mean, if you said, if you, if you described it better, lactose-free people would be lining up. They would be lining up for that. Oh, really? So you want her to sell it as well. I made a lactose-free

cashew soup. Yeah, that sounds great. This is, I mean, lactose-free cashews. Yeah that sounds great. I mean what are you talking about? You want something more direct. This is a show where they're like this is a meditation on clams from the heart of the woods where the woods meets the oceans. Everything here is the most dramatic, you know, titling of dishes. I just wish I knew that the cashew soup was lactose-free.

I mean, that would have changed everything for me. And then it was like, okay, these guys are idiots. Okay, she's like, it was a warm hug of flavor. So, you know, snap your fingers for that one girl. Yeah, and Kwame is like, well, you know what, the persimmon and the radish were an issue, which I know you your fingers for that one girl. Yeah, and Kwame is like well you know what the persimmon and the radish were an issue which I know you were cheering for because you hate persimmons and yeah, I'll let you take your victory lap on that one the persimmon. Well, unfortunately for you, I don't lap so there you go. Okay, we can move right on.

So then the second dish was meant to be simple and rustic. And Nina's like, we were all quiet when we're eating it. That's not true. I do believe that Gaia snorted a few times. Gaia was humming Lady Gaga's born this way the entire time, but whatever. I believe I heard some alley-hunter between the shells crunching in a teeth. And Gail was like, whoa, the flavor. That was so bold. And it counts. And he was like, I just, I just wish I had a biscuit for it.

And don't it's like, well, there were supposed to be potatoes. Get out, get out. You're officially cutting my mind. How dare you admit that. You don't say there were supposed to be potatoes, get out, get out. You're officially cutting my mind. How dare you admit that. You don't say there were supposed to be potatoes. You say, you know what? I wanted the crab to be the star, not the business. Yes.

Yeah, you say what I wanted to do was a very modern presentation. The splashing is just to let you know that you can get dirty. And I was thinking about having potatoes and I realized it would ruin it. So I gave you just the crab. That's how you sell it you can get dirty. And I was thinking about having potatoes, and I realized it would ruin it. So I gave you just the crap. That's how you sell it, right? So it said she's like, oh, sorry.

There were supposed to be potatoes, and they were the crown jewel. I was like, dawn. So then Pam and I was, what happened? She was time happened. And Pam and I was, oh, dawn. Dawn, you're doing good to service. Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! Don! And don't go, sorry, and Padden goes, Mmm. John, hey John, before you leave, I just want to say one more thing. John!

I just want to share you a little bit more. Wow, ow! Look, Nash is going to go back really confused. Mom, that's what happens when you turn wow upside down. So she's now it's judges table time and Padden was like, wow, we had such an exhilarating meal. And then Kwame is like, well, showed his dish wasn't a dish, it was no news. And Gale says, you know, I continue to be infinitely impressed with how he can continually show us nuanced flavors.

Um, yeah, and I will say of the first three games was in a perfect balance. I mean, it was warm, but still, you know, it was good. It was still good. Warm, warm, but good. Perfect balance. That's sort of what you need to climb over all the Hello Fresh boxes and Gail's apartment. So they move on to Don and Nina loved hers. It was very simple. She loved the cashew cream and Tom's like, but I mean the distractions, you know, I mean, there was just so much pickled stuff. Just so much. It's like taking Gail to frozen yogurt, am I right? So many toppings Piggles on her frozen yet, but I love how just how few as they are at this like little pickled garnish like oh my god

It would have been wonderful, but she put a pickled garnish in the corner of the plates I mean as I could told you, addicted to whimsy God. What a habit. What a habit. So then Gail, Gail's like, you know, this is a tricky one because I loved so many of the flavors on all three dishes. Oh, is that why you just poured them onto your mouth at the same time? So they're talking second dish now.

And she's like, showed us, took my breath away. Wow, you can still chew amazing. You're like a superhero. And Nina, Nina thought that Gabe's dish was beautiful. Yeah, it was beautiful. The first time I saw it 10 weeks ago. And I was like, yeah but sun chokes and crab, you know, it didn't really serve the crab.

You know, I want, if you're going to use sun chokes, I'm going to need them to be like someone like a decent assistant. And I want that assistant to really bring perfectly percolated coffee to that crab. It just didn't serve it well. Yeah. You know, those sun chokes were like having Brooke helping out the crab. It's just not serving it well. And you loved Don's because it was so soulful and Kwame is like, um, yeah, Don's dish was definitely a step above everyone's.

And Tom's like, yeah, but she left something off. And that's a huge deal for me today, even though, I'm totally fine with Gabe bringing out a warm dish during a cold dish challenge. So let that lie there. Okay, let that lie there. Tree meets ocean. Tree meets ocean. Well, I thought Don's dish met us so happy. Yes, I could see.

I could see how happy we're as all that sauce dribbled out of your teeth as you smiled from ear to ear I knew with the second you started literally singing the song happy with your fart Gale, okay I knew it was still having some repercussions from that cheese challenge are gale Say cheese. So, Pamela says, these chefs didn't honor to the chefs, but also to James Beard.

Yes, Naomi, we know you know her. Oh, so they're having a hard time. So then the chefs come back in and Tom's like, you know what, here's my speech today. There are paths and paths take you different places. So here you are because you were on a path, and I mean, you could have sat down, but then people who were walking on the path

would have been like, oh, why are you sitting in the path? But you walked and so here you are. So that a path? It's a season over it's to the ocean Where the path is where the woods meet the ocean there's a path right in between It's not the leaves fall on the path and sometimes the ocean hits the path and You're kind of messy afterwards Tom just over the monologues. He's like I've got he's like there's a lot to say He's like oh you may notice that Carol's like, there's a lot to say. He's like,

oh, you may notice that Carol, the pizza lady still have the window behind me. So maybe she can say something. That's kind of call you after your phone. Just want to make sure you're home. I see you in there. Todd, we love the pizza that you made for us. Actually, that pizza is for the production assistant. I just left it on your plate. I didn't know where to put it. So Kwamey says that they all showed precision and restraint.

And the winner is Nina. It showed us. So the show. It's the show that does like a. He does. He just is like, you know, bowing like crazy. It's so funny. soda does, he just is like bowing crazy. It's so funny, he does, because he has to bow for everyone. So it's like a million bows. And then, so we should, she was like,

how does it feel, pull up person? How does it feel? Like a rolling star? Mm. And so does like, wow, I'm so honored, thank you. And he says, I hear that being in the finale of Top Chef really changes your life, and I lost everything in the pandemic,

so maybe I have another shot of doing this forever. Probably not. Yeah, probably not, but hey, you know what, there's always McDonald's, Shota. All right, there's always McDonald's. And of course, Shota's gonna be just fine, either way. I totally want to eat this food. Well, this next part is very, very, very, very hard.

This next part is basically gale staring at an elliptical. This next part is very, very, very hard. This is when one of you has to take a doughnut out of Gale's hands. Alright, thanks for making this easier by Don, by confessing to meaning to put potatoes on there. When I said, did you mean to? And you said, yes. So, you know what, Don, you are going to get in your car and head to the finale because

everyone wins and I'm a good person. Congratulations, poor people. I hope I get a tax refund for this donation. I just gave to the pours. Yeah, we should have known that they'd all go forward because normally at this point, this is when Padma gets to do her favorite thing, which is to make someone feel really, really shitty about getting eliminated by saying, we want you to know that the chef that goes home tonight is going home for an excellent dish that's right you made something really excellent and we still sent you home yeah we just want you to know that you were really good just not good enough enjoy the best ride loser chefs Chefs, pack your clams. You're going to the finale.

And Gabe's like, you know, we really all deserve it. We created unique voices through mole. Oh, wait, that's me. So, uh, wow, I'm gonna win this bugger. Yeah, you mole, Torquillos. Next time I'm gonna make a tortilla out of mole, and I'm gonna make mole out of tortillas. What do you think of that, my fuck? Yeah, so next week's the big finale. I'm going to find out who wins. I really can't tell. I feel like it might be dawn. I don't know why I feel like it might be Don.

Well, I'm rooting for Don. I think it's gonna be, I think it should be showed up, but I think by the end of the next episode we'll be like, oh, show to show to win this or something. But I think Tom really wants to give it to Gabe. I've gotten that impression since the very beginning of Tom is just licking Gabe's butt. And so I think they're gonna give it to Gabe,

but I'm hoping for Don first and show to and so I think they're going to give it to Gabe but I'm you know I'm hoping for dawn first and show the second. I think Gabe is going to win. I'm rooting for Shota but I'd be thrilled of dawn one. Yeah well I guess we're going to find out later on y'all okay. Yeah. You know, this is a nightmare. Yeah. Let's go find out. Okay. All right. Lucy has married cat. Oh my god, let's go find out like she's... We're gonna put up, okay. Alright. Oh, see you guys on the next episode, which as you all know, you can find...
