Hey everyone, welcome to Watch Our Crappins, a podcast about all that crap on bravo that we just love to watch. I'm Ben Mandelker and joining me as always is the wonderful and hilarious Ronnie Karen. What's up Ronnie? He sounds a timid over there. Hey, baby, how you doing?

doing? I'm great. I'm excited because it's, you know, another top chef episode and not only a top chef episode, it's probably the one that people get most excited for. Restaurant Wars, it's our restaurant wars episode. I'm still surprised that they've never spun off restaurant wars into its own show on Bravo. I don't know. It seems like that would be like a pretty obvious ploy and I'm sure maybe, maybe I'll come to Peacock at some points as they keep on throwing stuff at that platform. Yes, have you seen the twins? They're having a show's top chef spin-off show. Where you're competing, or the brothers,

they're not twins, I guess, the Voltacios. Yeah, where the cool rebel and the kind of the dorky guy, they're gonna compete against each other with their own teams, and their team wins like a stosh ship or something in their restaurants. That sounds very stosh. Is that food network or is it peacock?

It sounds like stosh. But it's peacock. It's yeah, oh okay. And they make it look very topsefi, but it's, yeah, it is very food network mixed with top chef Yeah, cuz Michael Voltageo's been doing stuff for food network lately and I'm like This isn't really your brand cuz you know what kimchi is

Yeah, it's a little bit it's a little bit slum in it for you right yeah This is the top top chef. Your tortilla was raw. I wrote that down also because it was so funny. I appreciate that you made it her tortilla. Unfortunately, it's raw. So Byron calls home, which I'm not even going to fall for this. I don't think Byron's going home today. You're not going to get me with the phone call from death. Okay, or the phone call of death. I will not believe it, top chef.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I, um, yeah, I, I, they're, they're, they're phone calls from home are, I've been misleading. And now I actually think that Maria, they've had so many, um, fake outs with Byron and Maria. All season long that I actually think think that at this point Byron and Maria are gonna be in the top four because now It's just like if they're not gonna be sending them home Then they're just character building for the for the final four. So that's my that's my bet that both of them are gonna be in the final four

Well Byron is Daca. He's a dreamer and he has longed his whole life to travel the world, but I haven't been able to. But as a chef, I can travel through food, which is a romantic notion. You know, I feel kind of the same way. Like, I like traveling in theory, but I don't like leaving my house. So like, I travel through DoorDash, you know, it's like you can go, you're so many different places, you can fall in love Every time like today ordered door dash and it was like rondale your order is being prepared rondale

John is on his way to pick up your order rondale John is picking up your order Rondale John is on his way with your order John is right down the street when you order Rondo John is at your door. Rondo John got you the wrong thing. You've been sent to the wrong country. Travel to someplace. Sometimes it's not very romantic, but I mean, it is like after being stuck inside

through the COVID year, it is kind of romantic to have your phone ringing so much. And it's like John's coming. Here's what John's thinking. John's outside the door. John's just left you in jail for two. Oh! It is the, yeah, that's, you know?

You gotta take what you can get in COVID times. So the chefs go into the, they go to some like big warehouse space and Padma's there with Kristen from previous seasons and Gregory. And Padmas, good morning chefs. Please welcome the newest addition to your judging panel top chef winner of season 10

Kristen Kish. And also please welcome non winner Gregory. How's it feel to be standing near a famous person and someone who actually won this show? Didn't Gregory win. Did he not win? I don't think you won. I'm gonna look. Oh, we have to look that up. Gregory Gorda. Well, he has not winner energy. Is it the sweater? Is it the sweater? Yeah, because he lost. Oh, yeah, he lost season. Yeah, he lost to me But then he came back, right? And then we quit and we didn't win top chef all stars

Did he win top chef all stars? I don't think he did it wasn't Kevin who won that most of one top chef all stars Wow, okay, but I think that it's such a dinner theater couple isn't it's like please welcome Kristen kitchen Gregory Gorday I'm gonna do the kitchen Gorday Wow, they're so wonderful Some day I'll have to introduce you guys to my dear friend, Mark Ronson. Can anyone guess what today's challenge is going to be? And if anyone said, Gale getting into jeans, yes. It is.

But anyway, it's restaurant boys. So Maria already having anxiety about it because she's having flashbacks opening her own restaurant and makes me want to vomit. So Kristen, do you remember your experience on restaurant wars because I definitely do. Kristen's like, yes, it's hard. It's when you heard me, it's when I heard you say

pack your knives and go Oh, that was so great when I momentarily crushed your dreams. Oh What a wonderful time now we can all look back and laugh at it right Just a little behind the scenes knowledge what you didn't hear when I said please pack your knives and go was the silent non-famous person knives and go, was the silent? Non-famous person. Man, I remember that night when you went crying off into the darkness and I went out and had cocktails with my dear friend, David Chang, and I said, some no name just walked off

us out. I thought she was a PA half the time to be honest. Turns out she was a contestant. Well, at my restaurant, Wars, we had a concept that wasn't really very cohesive, but I redeemed myself on all stars with that one. Okay, Gorday. Be quiet, sweater man. Now listen, here it is.

There's another cool much. You didn't even win, stupid. During pandemic, there's another kind of restaurant that's taking over America. The chef's table. No, no McDonald's, G scale, put down your hands. Why is scale shooting today? Listen, we can't hold hundreds of diners and bring them into your bustling pop-ups this year.

Not because of the pandemic, it's just I can't stand being there so many regulars in one place. Am I right? Am I right? These tasting menus can cost hundreds of dollars per head You'll be seated and normally you're seated at a table with the birds eye view of the chefs and Gregor is like Most importantly, there are no second chances Ironically both of us have had second chances standing up here both me and Kristen

But they made me say that anyway, so there you have it. Too bad you failed at yours, Gregory. Anyway, just remember, diners at a chess table are treated like the ultimate non-gales, also known as VIPs. Even though you're not feeling a lot of people, you're basically feeling a lot of gales. You're handling everything. You're the wait staff. You're the hostess.

You're the lady who answers the phone and says, Padma, relax for me. Oh my God. This is all I've been dreaming of. Can I get your autograph for your picture? One of you will obviously have to hose down gale if she gets into the honey, but usually that doesn't happen to you, says. Anyway, you'll have to make, you'll have to make basically the equivalent of Gayle, the Basque and Robbins, a seven-course tasting menu. And we're going to choose teams doing get Portland style, wandering around the city, not knowing what anything is, just kidding. That was Portland's not style. This way is the flip of a coin. Don, you want

to be the first to flip? Wow, it's amazing that Portland is the flip of a coin. Don, you want to be the first to flip? Wow, it's amazing that Portland invented the flip of a coin. What an amazing city. Actually, it used to be you flipped a beat, and if you got the beat tops, that was heads, and the beat itself was tails. But we decided we didn't want to do that because it's stupid, so we're just going to flip the coin.

We used to flip mushrooms, but you know, there are just so many different kinds here. None of them would lie in flat. We used to take a cup of stumped-town coffee and flip it in the air and of the coffee gun on girls face. Well, we would just laugh. Everyone wins. So they flip the coins and let's see Byron, Shota, Jamie and Maria are on one team and

that leaves game, Sarah, Dawn and Chris on another team. And so Shota's like, to be honest, the other team has more strength than cooking, you'll have $2, $500 to shop at Whole Foods Market in person. I guess I'll really have to hose it down after all you normal folk get through there. So they start planning their menus and their restaurants and Byron's team is like, hey, let's do a fusion of basically us, Latin and

Asian and Marie is like, Lajin. I don't like it. Sounds like a new process to get rid of the pores on my nose or something. Well, it's close to you, Ublazian. So, Shoda, he's used to doing Kaisaki, which is like multi-course Japanese style meal. And they're like, let's do that with a Latin spin. Immediately they have a really good concept. They're just working well together.

And not only are they working well together, there's none of that Portland snot thing, which is honestly not even limited to him where there's one to him. Yeah. not even limited to him where there's like one to game. Yeah, but they're not even doing like that thing where where someone says like, Hey, we should do a fatty thing and some of us, well, I'm not really comfortable working with that. And they said, well, you should do it anyway. There's none of that. And said Maria's like, well, I can do it. And like, cool, you do it. So it's like, I was like, Oh, this is so refreshing, right? To see this. And then come up with a really sweet name for it, which is a coconut zone name for it, which is

Coco's own because Coco is I just said as if I can speak Japanese. I don't know how speak Japanese, but it's I'm like Coco. Coco. All of a sudden, I'm like, let me try to do a proper Japanese accent. I'm probably saying it wrong, but it's Japanese for hard and of course on is Mexican for her. So I was like, I love this team. Also because that showed it. It has Maria. It has Jamie. Byron is fine. I don't really have an opinion on Byron. But the other three, I like love. So I was so excited. Yeah. So then the other team is like, you know, the Vasi won on this team is of course Gabe. Gabe, you know, won asshole down. So now we can highlight the other asshole. And his name is Gabe. And Gabe is not as overt of his asshole as Portland Smot, but he's still like he is bossy and then he doesn't take the blame when his stuff goes wrong

Exactly purposely diverts away from it, which was really obnoxious So they decide they're gonna just do a basic seafood restaurant, right? Yeah,, they say, well, have a global perspective. And Sarah's like, I've seen other top chefs and the global perspective never works out, but seafood is perfect for the chef's table. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha do like seafood and then we can all just like do our thing with each dish. I'm like, have you guys ever seen this show? Do you guys know how every time a team does this on restaurant wars, it always fails. And I was like, the reason why is because I don't believe that Gabe is a team player. I think his hold. And by the way, he also lost in that movie theater challenge too, right? And his whole thing, he, I feel like he's very much out for himself.

So I think he wants to propose a theme so that he could just do what he wants to do and doesn't have to make any concessions to anyone else, which is also explains why he decides to do the Moose Boosh, which was not called for, right? Big needs to showcase himself some more. And then he likes to wrap it up in a bow by saying, well, you know, my thought is to find a common ground that we can all cook on. I'm like, watch him not find the common ground at all.

Watch him not at all find the common ground. Yeah, his common ground is like, give me another reason to make a mole there or to make a sauce and call it mole whether it is or not. Right. Um, so they go over and everything they're doing is wrong. Okay. Like what you've already said. And then Chris is like, Hey, how about for me, I do a penny pasta, which I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, you do not don't serve

these people a pasta. You've already fucked up a pasta. And you're going to serve a pasta at a chef's tasting. They're not going to be into a penny. I can tell you that right now. And then rest of the air is the profit time for redemption, by the way. Right. And it's also generally not the time for penny. You know, I feel like the most as much as these people make pasta, it's also not the time for it. It's just really not. I mean, the chefs, it's very rare that the chefs are going to be like, wow, the pasta is great. Usually they're like the sucks, right? It's very difficult to get them to love a pasta. Yeah.

I mean, last year was Italy. So they like literally do the love the part they add them to it. Yeah But Normally I think pasta they're not into so also this is an ill in the coffin When kept gave goes actually penny my daughter's name is penny. Let's name our restaurant penny Oh fuck you fuck you now you're gonna boss everybody around and name it after your daughter Who's also named after the girl from Inspector Gaggett? I'm never like her. Okay, I never like the endings

It's case you case Casey Wilson's role. Okay. Well, I like her. She's very talented. Yeah, no I love you even out. I love Penny heart, but I was like no don't be smirched penny heart with your shitty restaurant, you know from From top chef. Okay, Gabe so like, no, don't be smirched penny heart with your shitty restaurant, you know, from Top Chef. Okay, Gabe. So, so Shota wants to make a hot pot. I don't know why I wrote that down, but I felt it was important to experience that, that emotion.

And then, so now Gabe says, okay, I got so mad. So Gabe says he wants to do a Moose Boosh. And I'm already mad because he, I can already sense he's trying to do a flex, right. And I'm already mad because I can already sense he's trying to do a flex, right? And I'm like, oh, this guy, he comes in, he tells everyone what the theme is gonna be, and then he's gonna do a Moose Boosh flex, right?

And then if things go wrong, he's gonna be the first one, like, it's things are gonna go wrong because this a Moose Boosh flex. And then he's gonna escape Scott Freight, which spoiler alert is exactly what happens. Yeah, and he's also doing the flex in only his own style that he does every single time. It's like, okay dude, let me guess,

your flex is gonna include a homemade tortilla topped with lame shit. And it is, that's exactly what it is. It's a too thick little tortilla. Yeah, that's not made right. Topped with too much shit. And Sarah and Don both tell them, they're like, that's too much. Like we've already got seven courses, like having an extra before we start, I think it's

going to be too much. Like if you put something down, they're going to judge that thing. You know, and people are always getting kicked off for putting way too much on the table. And they're right. You know, obviously they've watched a show because that happens all the time. Also, I feel like in the history of Top Chef, no one knows how to make a proper mousse bush. They always make something that's basically the size of like a sushi boat. It's like, it's a bite, you know, and you know, later on when he starts to make his mousse bush bush and he's like making these little, he's making his tostada, you

know, tortillas. Like that's, it's supposed to be one bite and that is four to five bites what I'm saying there. Like you idiot. So anyway, so Gabe is saying like, you know, we're trying to create a concept we can all cook and use seafood as the common platform. I'm like, that's not, like I'm like, that's not enough. That's not enough for a restaurant wars.

To be like, oh, it's just the theme of seafood. It doesn't really work that way. And that was really worried for Chris, because not only did he do a pasta dish, but he takes dessert, which can be the kiss of death on this show too. So Sarah's like, well, I think for that dessert, we need to incorporate seafood somehow. Preferably kelp. It's like, well, I think for that C for that dessert, we need to incorporate seafood somehow, preferably kelp.

It's like the what? So then Byron or seaweed, she said seaweed, right? Yeah. So then Byron's like, we need, so they're basically Byron's team is like, we need someone who coordinates, we need someone who's coordinating the busing the tables, the delivering the food. Oh, you know, yeah, they're planning it.

And the other team, we cut to the other team, and Sarah goes, yeah, I think someone should be in charge of stuff out here, what's actually going on. And she's like, no, I think we should just do it all hands on deck, okay? She goes, okay, so no plan is the best plan. He's like, yeah, okay, so let's just note that Gabe is the one who said they shouldn't plan,

or. Yep. And anything planned. And they shouldn't plan or. Yep. And anything planned. And they shouldn't have any more of a theme than they've had. And that they should force feed everybody a too big a moves boost. Okay.

And also notice that, already, and also notice this is like the fifth time the season where a woman has been like, I think we should do X and the guy is like, no, no, no. And it's like on the losing team. It's like one of the reasons why there was a loss. It's driving me absolutely nuts.

So now they're gonna go, well, they're gonna get to shop and stuff and Maria's excited because she's like, I've never been so excited to shop because it's not my money. So show it in the background. and Maria's excited because she's like, I've never been so excited to shop because it's not my money. So, she'll show it in the background. And Maria goes, can we do stumps? Which I like, I like that the whole stump theme

really got to Maria. She's like, I like stumps now. Okay, that's what I learned here. She's into them. So then that, so now we're, it's like a quick montage of everyone like shopping here, shopping there and Shota, Shota has a very aggressive plastic bag ripping a approach at the supermarket.

Did you notice that? I do it that way. Yeah, that's how you do it. I wanna learn it, because I always, I pulled a plastic bag on the roll. So what he did was he pulls it, you know, the bag that's on the roll, that's like above the veggies, he pulled it,

and then he just did like this really swift chop that just totally separated it. It was like, and I was like, oh my God. Cause I'm always like, okay, I'm gonna pull it, and now we're gonna have a nice gentle tug, gentle tug, oh we're halfway through the perforation, everyone wanna gather around, so the turn's out, here we go, here we go.

No, I've tried to be a- I've tried to be a- No, I've tried to be a- I've tried to be a- I've tried to be a- I've tried to be a- I've tried to really make sure this happens steadily, okay. I've tried to really make sure this happens steadily, okay. I've tried to really make sure this happens steadily, okay. I've tried to really make sure this happens steadily, okay. I've tried to really a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- No, I've tried to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a-

I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a-

I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a-

I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a- I'm trying to be a but I'll miss the perforations. I'll just get the side of the bag. So it'll probably just like, like, tug the entire thing or just a lot to maybe knock it off its hinges entirely. So that's all I'm afraid to do it. Come on, Shoez. Here comes one right now. 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 hosts of Wonder Woman's new podcast, Disantel. Each episode explores a different iconic celebrity feud from the buildup, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feud 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 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 esteemed 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 wonder ya. Oh, so they're talking about each other's team. So Maria's like, you know what the other team is strong. They've won a lot. Holy schnikes, they've won a lot. Which is weird because me and my sister say that. I thought we invented it, but I guess we, I guess we're much more unoriginal than we thought. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh my god. I'm an idiot. Okay. And she goes, but you know what? I'm completely utterly honest. I don't give a rest ass. No, that's funny because my brother and I always say rats ass and I'm pretty sure we invented

that one. God literally invented. Goddy boy invented that. Guys, we have counted so many sayings. It's like between two of us and then I'm talking about Portland inventing flipping a coin. Wow. I just can't believe me and my sister quote Tommy boy without even knowing it. I mean, that's like a pathetic as I've ever been.

I have to say. Yeah, well, that's like a pathetic, as I've ever been, I have to say. Yeah, well, that's okay. It's part of pop culture, it happens. So I don't know if Tommy Boy invented it, but I'm pretty sure that's a Chris Farleyism. So now it's nighttime and the drink and wine at the hotel, perhaps from the Chalato family of wines. And then they're planning their menu.

And Dawn's having issues trying to figure out what her Johnny cake is going to be and doesn't really know what her dishes yet. And Gabe is like, he's doing that hands-off thing where he's saying, well, whatever represents you, kind of like, I'll let you just die. Like, you can dig your own grave. I'm, you know, you know, yeah, he is. That's what he's doing. He's not trying to help or give inspiration or talk it through or anything like that. Yeah, so she's not sure what she's gonna do, which is scary.

I'm scared for her. I'm scared too. And gave us like, well, you know, typically you have a front of house person, but we're more into non-intrusive service here. Oh my God, what is called never met a foodie that says, God, you know what I really want? Non-intrusive service here. Oh my God, what is called never met a foodie that says, God, you know what I really want? Non-intrusive service.

They want to have their ass kiss the entire time, especially at a chef's table. Yeah, by the way, I just want to point out that there's a goldfish hopping round outside and it is adorable. It's like the showtah of birds. You know, every day I've got another animal out there. You're a little you're regular snow white

So Byron and Shota are coordinating the back of the house and then Maria is gonna be Maria dealing with all the guests Which you know could be trouble Depends on what kind of boot she's like she could just be out there. So are you crying again Maria? Maria does this bring a teary-eye? How do we talk about your wife, the firefighter, huh? Oh, look, tears for Maria. Anyone got some tissues, gals, not beating them. Maria needs them. Ooh, so at night time, Soda is telling us that the last challenge

he couldn't find inspiration and it's hard for him to take criticism because one time a critic came to his restaurant and said that he needs to learn texture, acidity, and heat, which isn't even a part of Japanese food. And he's like, so there are so many things that haven't even been introduced to the states yet, you know? And I'm here to show that motherfucker. And then we see a picture of the critic

and it's basically Padma with like a mustache on glasses With the With the headline needs more ketchup Did you mean to not have acidity heat or texture soda By me new Matamid oh So they got a whole foods, some shopping in. Okay.

And we're going to Whole Foods, Feels orgasmic. Yeah. But yeah, the first time I went to Whole Foods in this whole thing was, I was like, oh my god, look at all these fresh croissants. I know being able to pick out your vegetables instead of having to rely on Instacart was actually extremely exciting. So now we get the first of many, many references to what I thought was going to be the disaster of the evening because it was referenced so much. The warm towels.

So essential oils for warm towels. So it's like, oh no, this is going to be the scented candle of that. That's what I thought. I was like, it's the vanilla candle that happened how many years ago, but like haunts me to this day. Like, I actually went to a coffee shop a few years ago and they had vanilla candles. And I was like, do you not realize people are eating here? Did you not learn anything from top chef coffee shop? So I thought for sure, it was gonna be like, oh, the scent from those warm towels is gonna be a problem and Tom's gonna complain because it was like every scene was like, how those worm towels coming?

Hey guys, you gotta get ready, you gotta fold those worm towels. We gotta warm the towels. Ooh, look, they're the worm towels. Yeah. So we go over to Kokoson, to where everybody's setting up and cooking and Shota is like, anyone seen these Japanese eggplant

that is not a sex joke. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. So, so their plan is that Shota's eggplant, that is not a sex joke. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. So, so their plan is that in order of the dishes, show us gonna make a Japanese eggplant with a sesame mule from Maria. Byron's gonna make a sakai kudo with like a ricotto curry sauce. And Maria's gonna make her lingua sando with pickled mustard and soda,

then it's gonna do like a lotus root tempura, James is gonna do a short rib, and then they're all gonna come together for a hot pot, and then Byron and James are gonna make a trace Ledge A's cake. So honestly, their entire menu just sounded great. It all made sense. It was like one of the most coherent restaurant wars menus we've ever seen.

Like already, not even seeing how it was gonna turn out, we could all just tell, like this is like, this all makes sense. So I was very happy because they were kind of selling themselves as the underdog and I was like, I think this is gonna work out for them. Well, thank you for writing that all down. I took screenshots because they put the whole thing up

on the screen, you know? So I took a screenshot so I wouldn't have to run it down. And the screenshot I have is Maria, it's Maria cooking while they're putting up the dishes. And it's just Maria holding a gigantic tongue over a pot. And, you know, I'm from a bus. I've had the tongue. Okay. I've had every part of the cow over the course of my life. Do not love it, but I've had it. But my first thought was, God, it's nice to see a tongue bigger than mine. Like seriously, I thought I had the biggest tongue, but I've had it. But my first thought was, God, it's nice to see a tongue bigger than mine. Like, seriously, I thought I had the biggest tongue, but this is a lower arm.

Yes, it's a big, big tongue. So over at Penny, I really don't like that name for a restaurant penny. I don't know why it's just not working for me. Well, it's just like, it's like the lowest comment in nomination, you know? Come on, guys. It is. It's like, I like the name penny You know, come on guys. It is. It's like I like the name Penny, but I think I just think I don't like it because Gabe came up with it for a restaurant. Like he co-cris says,

Penny and then he says, oh well Penny and then that's suddenly supposed to be like the name. And like it has, there's like no connection to what they're actually serving. Like, because your daughter a lobster, like I don't get it.

I don't get it. So they're decorating and Sarah's talking about she has like no front of house experience But guess what they're excited for the warm clouds. What could go wrong warm clouds? Yeah And then Jamie You know, so many notes Jamie loves her menu, okay? And then Donna's still trying to finalize what she's making, which is worrying everybody. And Chris is like, yeah, I mean, it's difficult, you know,

because she can't communicate with us, how this is even gonna fit in with the rest of the team. And Sarah's nervous, and just thought their whole juju is not good. Over there on that. And also maybe Don doesn't wanna communicate because she's seen what has happened when women on the show have communicated and the guys just like shoot them down

Like you need to add this add that so This is what they are run down is so it's gonna start with Don doing some sort of crab and caviar dish Sarah's gonna do a halibut And then there's gonna be then Don's gonna do a scallop with Tassoham ex, and then Sarah's gonna do a pak choi with salmon skin, and Chris's gonna do his shrimp filled pasta, which is not a penny, and then Gabe is gonna do charred and grilled octopus, and then Chris's gonna end with kelp ice cream with coco nib meringue.

Yeah, and so showed us, like I'm making more dashy if anybody needs it. I'm gonna say Marie is like, ah, yes, I could do it. I could do it for my mole. I was literally like, Ronnie, this guy is, he made, you just made extra dashy just to be nice. Like this is, it showed a gotten angel. Is he not just like the sweetest thing

we've ever seen on this show? Yeah. So then Gabe was doing it. Oh, okay. I'm the amy, it's dashy. You know what I mean? Like if it was muffins, it's like, he's not a neighbor like bringing a basket of muffins over.

It's like a neighbor going, hey, I have some Dashi, want some? Pick it the fuck out of my house, sir. Try harder next time. Well listen, anytime you've had a meal with Gail, Sam and you'll come to appreciate any extra of any ingredient, am I right, everyone? I've never seen anybody Dashi

through a meal faster than Gail. Lessor hot. So cooking, Don's gonna make a crispy corncake with a crab salad and everything's Maria says this is one of her best moles. And now Gabe is working on his amuse. And which for some reason it also bothers me when chefs just call it a mousse instead of a mousse-bouche. I don't know why. There's nothing wrong with it. It makes sense.

It's a perfect abbreviation. But there's sort of something, it's like when people call it Nicholas Cage and Nick Cage. I'm like, you don't know Nicholas Cage. You can't just call him Nick Cage. And I just take his numerology. Yeah. And Gabe was like, you know,

but the judges really need a snack pre-first course. And you know, my cooking to me is just like, it's like having a baby. Yeah, a very oversized baby that does not fit. You know, I even wrote down, I said, that's a big testata for an amuse. I'll see, look, I run a mousse. I did it. See, this is why I hate it. I hate it because it made me say I'm a moves instead of a moves bush. So then Maria, Maria's like, don't worry about the front of the house because once Maria steps out of the kitchen, Maria is going to come out. I'm like Monica from Friends.

Wow. I never would have chosen that for you. I would never would have been like, you know what? Maria is a real monica. So yeah, and showed us like, so like as chef's tables, you just basically can't be loud. She's like, huh? Huh? It means no crying sad face. So they've got two hours left everybody. So Chris is telling us how he's failed with pasta. So he wants redemption and last time he's stuck to the familiar look Yoke Doe Yoke Doe But he's familiar with any failed. So this time he's gonna use whole eggs Chris and I just wrote. Uh-oh

I mean Chris like it's pasta you failed already and now you're talking about adding more eggs You know what gal hates eggs that aren't done right. I've never seen Gail more mad Then bank charm rubbery egg. She was furious. Yeah Chris This is it's like it's Like you want redemption. So you're gonna change it up from what you how you normally do it Restaurant wars is the worst place to do your redemption. Okay. It's a high pressure environment wait for another quick fire Do it on a quick fire where there's like low stakes, you know. Don't do it now. Don't do it now. Yeah. So then Maria starts doing all the decor because the chef's too busy and at first she's

freaking out because Noah's helping her, but then they do help her. And so she's like, wow, look at that. I didn't see that happening. But she's not even like that mad because she's like, well, you know what, if they don't answer me, I'm gonna do what I want. Yeah, I was like, fine. So then we go over to Sarah, who's using salmon skin on her dish, because it's unexpected, I guess. That's what she says, yeah.

She's like, wow, it's completely unexpected. Salmon yogurt. So Sarah is tasting the kelp and vanilla ice cream. And she's like, two more, two planned, more kelp. And I was really worried for that ice cream. Yeah, I was worried about ice cream and for dawns, there's juice, because they keep on saying, oh, no one's tasted dawns.

Oh, no, no, the time is coming gone to taste dawns. Yeah, and Jamie's behind and Shota's team is everybody's tasting each other's thing and really liking it. But Maria's like, is there no acidity in that? And he goes, oh my god, I forgot the pickled shallots. Which is why as he points out, it's super important to try each other's food and be involved in each other's dishes, right? Yeah. Also, I thought he was going to have a meltdown because he had already explained his trauma about, you know, Padma coming into his restaurant saying there was no acidity and I'm reassuring.

Was there no acidity? I was like, don't see that in front of Shoda. Yeah, there's no acidity, texture or heat. That's weird. He's like, oh, there's a little ball on the ground. Like, ah, ah, ah, ah, ground like Oh, he cries just like he laughs So now the judges arrive at Koko-san and Padma has sort of like a bob this first today and the chefs are You know they're greeting everyone and gale's like look at us

Interest right. I'd rather not look at you gale. I mean for crying out loud. You have to wear that ridiculous frock That's her heart. Gail, you can start moving of slow motion now. We're inside the restaurant. Um, actually Gail, I don't know if Gail took some edibles before she came today, but Gail is just like, oh, yes. Here we are in the restaurant. I love it. I love the food Like who is tickling gale gale's having a great time So they're all served like a matcha limonada just you know just wet their appetites and I was like cheers to everyone Cheers even Dale over there look what are the odds that Dale's can ask for five bowls of ice cream by the end of the night cheers to Dale Well, I can't drink too many of those

And I was like, oh, it's super sweet Listen everyone if you can't finish your macha limonata don't worry just send them down to gale should help you out bless her heart The gal bitch disposal am I right? help you out. That's her heart. The Galbitch disposal, am I right? I'm really excited about this menu. Gail's like, oh my god, I want this, I want this, I can't wait for that. And that is always my fucking favorite. Like, who are you? Did somebody give Gail an Olive Garden menu? Look how excited she is. Did Gail just win a free Chris sandwich off the back of her coke? It's really happy today. So there's like some banter and I guess I think it was richer or someone says he's the

worst at all times. At all times you tell them what happened. We have a five we had a five person restaurant war on our season, but we had to cook for 500 people. Maria, she goes, wow, okay, you know, sorry. He goes, oh no, we love a server who interrupts. I'm like, oh my God, jackass. You're like a jackass on 10 different fronts right now.

So many. So now the first dish comes out as the eggplant with the sesame mole and wow, it's so flavorful. I love this, sorry, Gail. This one's all gonna be for me. Oh, really good. It's really good. Someone cooked Gail up.

Just, I'm just putting that out there. And Kristen loves the technique in the dish. And Gail's like, this is one of her best mule and girls like this is one of her best Malaysian it is one of her And I know the I know that challenge was about seven years ago, but it's never too late. Okay, someone needs to dunk it on her Do you overactive And showed us kind of getting snappy in the kitchen. He's like I need the sauce Buffy B. Buffy, Buffy, Buffy. He's kind of snapping and plays like, whoa, it's a little drama over there, guys.

They're writing a little loose. Okay, guys, little drama. Okay. We'll be back after the break. I'm like, no, you don't get to queue the commercial break on this one, Richard. It's not your show. Um, so let's see here. Who's next? So they're trying to just cracking up at Shoda, right? I mean, it's like, look at Shoda coming for everybody. They're like, get it over here. No, they said that, no, they said they liked Shoda because he calmed everyone down. Oh, I put coming at everybody.

No, because they're all antica then Shoda went over there and he's like, what's going on, guys? No yelling. And everyone's like, ah, Shoda. So then next, this is Byron's like, oh, Shoda. So then next is just Byron's cured salmon with ricotta sauce and Kwame is at a loss for words at Pat and goes, oh, I just got a hit of passion fruit. Mm. Anyway, I was going to hit a passion fruit. And Dale says it's one of the best curries he's ever had in his entire life and Greg goes Well, the lingering heat is too much for a second course for me. I was like whoa Low energy slam from Gregory to not see that one coming

Next up I think I take your criticism a little bit more serious if you'd actually want all stars Gregory Listen sweater person nobody can hear you down there unless you speak up. So next show does little tiny sandwiches are coming and plays goes, wow, we get old rest up and we get tongue sandwiches. Thanks for that. And we go, it's me again, the Mexican, and then Kerry who's there. I said, you know, I am a sucker for anything dipped. I mean, can I dip it in? I'm in, you know?

It's almost like dipping ingredients into a hole in the snow, and then you pull out an entire big cake. I mean, wouldn't that be amazing? Oh, that's right. I did do that, guys. I did. I did. Well, guys, sandwich is like for play play you want the fun up first, right?

So you know basically this is like a sandwich blowjob after anal which I don't really understand Huh anyone should I keep going with this? This is basically like getting a sandwich after you make out with somebody instead of After you hold their hand. Anybody? Tom, you're going backwards from anal. Okay. Keep up. I think this is the best tongue I've ever tasted.

And that includes huge dances which I enjoyed in the Mal-Deves in 2004. Am I right, everyone? Anyone? Well, when you start with Salmon Rusty is your first. Of course, any tongue is good. Wow, Gail, look at Gail. Who lit a little fire in the Gail size cream butt? He gave her a little bit of matcha limonata,

and she's on fire. Nice work, Gail. Nice work, Gail. Now, wipe that curry off your chin. Gail, Gail. So, Sarah's is like, I'm so nervous about service. Now why don't you carry off your chin? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha She bases like wow, she goes up to Gabe and she's like, your amuse is really big. And he goes, is it so big? Sorry, I couldn't make it any smaller. I'm like, you literally could make it smaller.

You are the chef. You did not have to make your tortillas that big. Like we've all had tiny little tortilla things. We've had them. And even if you've made them too big, you cut them down into smaller. There is a tortilla, sir. It's a tortilla. He made a normal size, you cut them down. And too smaller. There, it's a tortilla, sir. It's a tortilla.

He made a normal-sized thing for crying out loud. And on top of that, she's like, it's just that it's larger than our two dishes, right? And it's like, again, kind of showing up. It's like, he's saying it's an amuse-bush, but what he really wants to do is be first in line. And be like, this is me, this is Gabe. It's so delicious.

This guy just wants a lot of credit for a fucking corn tortilla. Okay, this is me, this is Gabe. It's so delicious. This guy just wants a lot of credit for a fucking corn tortilla. Okay, and he does it in every episode. It's a fucking corn tortilla, dude. It's mains in water. Can we stop acting like you're Jesus Christ? It's one of the easiest things to make. So then over back over at the best team of all time,

Gail is loving the pace and she's like I'm loving this pacing. You know, this is a ballet not a rodeo Well, either way. I'm sure you bring a hot dog to both am I right everyone? ballet not a rodeo, huh? I'm sure that's the actual opposite of any dance aside on you wherever I don't you were ever Oh you should see the times you brought a whole bowl of chili to the met wow what a scene that caused And please goes oh yes food on a tree stump finally You're not far matured Just an asshole. You're just so So then... Oh, go ahead.

No, I was just just... I'm just gonna talk about that. He sucks. So Lotus Root is next. And Tom's like, Oh, the text is good. So, uh, there's that. I like the Umi paste a lot.

It's just Umi paste famous for anything. What film says this Umi paste been in? Anyone? Hold on. Let me call my dear friend on Hello miracle she might not be away because she lives in a different time zone. She's just fancy like that hold on Guess what I had an amazing umi paste. Yeah, pass it along. Okay, and it did have acid and it did have heat and it did have texture Yeah, I wasn't like that terrible Terrible restaurant I went to once. Anyway, bye.

So over with Jamie, Jamie's like, oh my god, I get nervous when people stare at me when I cook, so I'm feeling, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, on my brain. So Maria serves everybody to Kila and Padman goes, you're killing it by the way. You're just like gas sniffing out a high-ball eggs at the golden corral. You're just killing it, doing it so well. Keep up the good work. Oh, are you crying? Did I make you cry by accident? Oh, say sorry. Well, you know, I just want to treat you like you're in Tucson. No, please don't do that. Okay, you've officially gone too far.

You ruined it. You ruined it. What part of me looks like I ever want to be in Tucson? A city that's known as the home of the chimichanga. Are you serious right now? Listen, last time I was in Tucson, I said, where do you chimichangas come from? I know when he answered me, I've done with Tucson. I said, well, do you, Jimmy Chong has come from? I know, but he answered me. I've done with Tucson.

Tucson more like two soon. Get out of my face. So Jamie short rib comes out and Byron has done the sauce. Everybody's basically done each other's dish, right? Everybody's worked together. And he says, oh, the sauce is more penchant than Chipotle. Oh, it's Gales Bio. I didn't see that one coming. Also from Gales Bio is my next comment about this food. I think it's lovely, but I think it's a lot. Oh, then Shota brings out the hopper,

which is the family style dish that they did, the kind of stew they all did. And Padma goes, woo, woo, woo. And then it goes to commercial. Like, what was there like a foot in that pot? Why we have a commercial break Hold on America you can have to wait to see what this one is. It's real good

So the family style incorporates all of us they tell her and girls like well all the seafood you got Everything in this dish. It's comforting. It's so full It's more. It's so full. It's more punch-in than Chipotle. I love that traditional and homey just like a fashion sense gal. Um, and that you know, it's harmonious and delicious and Maria's like I'm very proud to be part of this team. Yeah. And Tom goes, no it's, uh... You know, it's... It's pretty... It's pretty fucking good. This is like getting a blowjob at just the right time.

Like, okay. Thanks Tom. Something I've never said about one of my son's cocktails. Pretty fucking good. Pretty fucking good. So the trust let's us cake is next and Jamie has steamed the cake and it's egg based and she goes, and there's fresh pineapple for beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B- in front of them and Gail's like, that looks really good. Gail, are you looking at a good humor truck again or are you actually focusing on the competition? On Carrie and this basil is so creative. Is there anything I can dip this basil in? Because I love dipping things, I love it. Oh man, I almost makes me wish I had incorporated basil into the cheesecake that I baked in snow.

I baked a cake in something that is the opposite of heat and I made a cake out of it. Wish I had one question about this dish. Was this cooked above ground? Yes or no? Okay, I thought so. Well, you know, it was still good. So this was steamed and was it, did you incorporate snow in any sort of way? Oh, no.

Huh. Okay. Well, you know, there's an effort though. So I love effort. So Byron is, Byron goes back to Jamie and he's like, wow, Gail said this is exactly how she wanted to end the meal. And Jamie's like, Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, b, buh, buh, buh, b, b, buh, b, b, So again, we just want to read every love gale simons. We do not think that she's an overeater or fat. We just think that this is

Path of being mean. No, don't explain it anymore. Just let people get bad I just think we explain it once a season and that's it. It's our fictional version of Padma So Padma this is an extraordinary meal. And Tom says, you know, they really raised the bar for any restaurant wars. That's ever going to be in the future. I'm like, that's because there were no customers, Tom. There was only you guys. It was the easiest, I mean, it was hard,

but it was also the easiest restaurant wars they've ever had. I'm sorry. Yeah. And Padma goes, from start to finish. And then of course, guess what Marie is doing? I'm sorry. Yeah, and Padma goes, from start to finish. And then of course, guess what Marie is doing? Crimes. She's like, we had our hearts in those menus.

We had our corazon to those menus. Kokarons. Kokazon for life. Okay, everyone, time to drop none. It's like, whoa, Maria, I think you're getting a little too into this Kokazon thing. So then we go over to Penny and Don is like, this is this hammy. And Gabe's like, yeah, and Sarah's still freaking out.

And Padma comes in, she's like, wow, it looks beautiful to love the driftwood. You know, I really don't tell you that enough gal. Wow, I love all the, I love all the gal they put on the tables. Wow, I love all the, I love all the gale they put on the tables. Drift with an in. So, so Gabe is like, well, welcome to Penny. As you can probably tell by the name Penny, this is a seafood restaurant and it's going to celebrate the Pacific Northwest.

Oh, great. Wow, really original. A seafood restaurant important. I'm sure they have none of these around here. And it's global influenced. Wow. Sam and skin and bok choy. And Greg goes, wow, this reads really, really well. So here come the warm towels, the center towels. And I'm like, waiting, I'm like, here it comes. They come, why don't they put lavender in these towels? It's ruining the time.

Me up with me, I'm walking out. That's why I thought it was gonna happen, but instead you just got a Padma. Wow. I think maybe it was a scent because this scent was Palo Santo, which is, you know, like a nice, peaceful, burning a stick in your house kind of a scent. Oh, I don't know, yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don a scent. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I didn't know.

The Los Antos. Uh, Paolo Santo, I think those are those sticks that you burn, right? You buy them, they look like little, little tiny, Los Antos. Two by four. And you burn those. Yeah. Wow.

Wow. Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Wow! Well, Pelosanto! Not to be confused, with the Pelagrino family of sparkling waters. Hmm. And Gabe's like, well, we know you're messy, so we wanted to just clean you up a little bit.

Wow, that's that's that's bold! That's bold, Gabe! That's bold, but to be fair, Gale does seem to have some sort of a brownie smudge on her face. Could some intended G up, please. Well, I thought it was really thoughtful that they presented me with an on alcoholic beverage. So that was great. And Galen, meanwhile, Dale's like, bring over more of that tequila. It was still got me in the eye.

Oh, great. She was getting tainted. Greg, Greg, I know you like to think that was a consideration, but actually, the only reserve alcohol for winners. So, first up is the game. Amuse, the aluminum to stada with cumulon to stada. Why is that annoying me, heirloom corn to stada? Because that's fucking annoying. It's like, what's the, Oh,

corn. Did he make his own masa? Do you think is that possible? No, I mean, you can make it, but why, you know, like, I don't, I don't think you would have had time to like dry it to all that. I'd say that it's like, but it's also like why it just used masa, right? Erilum corn to stata with fat bastard oyster and cured snapper Stop and listen I tell how did you get into this oyster?

And gale's like I like the flavor, but it's very weighted down by the size anyone want to take that oh It's like the time the Gale Axe is sad on her head of fresh box. Am I right? Kristen says it's not crisp and light or easy and gave us like, oh my god, fuck, they didn't like that. And don't say, um, if you could help me, that would be great. And there's a lot of stress in the kitchen because Gabe knows that they hate him now and Don's not getting any help and everyone's freaking out basically and Don's like, huh, something's going wrong. It's almost like my son was confronted with an actual education. And then of course the Cardinal Son on Restaurant Wars not paying attention to Padma.

You know they're less relaxed and nobody's here. Nobody's here in front of me right now. No one I can make cry. Why? Why we even here if we can't make someone cry. They're doing their job and they're not interacting, which is not good. So the warm crab salad and corn puff comes out with an island coconut sauce.

And this is what's your plans? Serums, right? It's don't. Oh, this is don's. And my first thought was, doesn't this look exactly like what Gabe did right and yeah, it's annoying because well, I mean Dawn didn't really say what she was doing, but that being said

It wouldn't have felt like as much of a conflict if he had made something the proper size and second of all he could have communicated a little bit more with her about this So and also we're going from like a toastada to a corn puff in island coconut sauce that sort of doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Right, and they look very similar just because of the round corn thing in the middle. Right, but hers is the right size. And so, Dale, yeah, Dale's like, wow, what a welcome surprise, strong contrast to that toastada.

I'm all right. And Melissa goes, yeah, this should have been the amuse. Interesting, the first course is a toasted tostada, compared to the bigger amuse bouge. I'm very, very confused. Usually the bigger people follow the smaller people inside. Am I right, Gail? Or did I just get that wrong because my brain is frozen from so much slow motion entering. So Melissa feels very detached and she has no interaction with the chefs. And now Sarah's

plating and Kwame is like, that better be yogurt over there. So she comes out with a halibut crudo with aho blanco sauce and Dale is really mad. He's like, there is no connection between the first dish and the second dish at all, but I would like a third bowl of that please. Thank you so much. Yeah, Gregory says it was raw and then it was cooked and then it was raw again,

which doesn't make sense in the progression. And a mirror, this is crazy to get this from Amir. He's like, Amar, yeah. Oh, Amar, sorry. He's like, I didn't enjoy it at all. He's like, wow, that's something from you because normally he's the most positive. I know.

Amar, you licked your entire bowl. Well, you know, I have to keep up with that. What I do, that's what I do. I have the addiction to a bowl. What can I say? I just love the feeling of tongue on bowl. What can I say? Now, you know, to me, this is like a grateful debt concert.

It needed acid. Ha, ha, ha. Also a blowjob before the anal. If that makes it, is that working yet? Anybody? Anybody? Listen Tom, I'm dear friends with Alie Wong. I've worked with Alie Wong. I've asked Alie Wong, what is Chop Sui? And you, sir, are no Alie Wong.

I love a good Alie Wong read. I don't know what the hell that I do. A good Alie Wong Lloyd Benson reference. So, wait, what? I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. Good alley-wong Lloyd Lloyd Benson reference So wait what? Don't explain it don't explain it. I use the vice presidential candidate under Mondale And that's he was the one who originated that that famous thing of like I knew Jack Kennedy

I worked with Jack Kennedy and you sir Thank you god every day is an education at this shop that worked with Jack Kennedy and you, sir. Oh, no, Jack Kennedy. Oh, thank you. God, every day's an education at this show. Hi. I hope his name is Lloyd Benson. I'll be really embarrassed if I get it. No, it's Lloyd Benson. Okay, anyway.

So now it's time for Don Scalp with Creole XO and Dale basically does the Amaran. He's now sipping from his, a lot of bull sipping, a lot of bull sipping this season. And Tom's like, well, I had me at a hand-hawk broth You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah, that was actually part of gale's vows. I believe had me at hand-hawk broth Yeah, that's gale's a film

Ham Maguire Jeremy's stupid It's like when I sit in the camphawk It's like every time I every time I encounter gal in wardrobe I say gal help me help you You had me in hamhawk So it feels like so God this is like one of the men that Padma would have sex with further money so much richness Wow, that's tryail. All right,

Hamhawk. I marry for love. Okay. Love. And there's no love like marrying an old man who must live in hiding for the rest of his life. And Melissa is so jo- so she's usually so critical of Exo and she's really jealous that she didn't create this one and Sarah is like um oh Sarah's asking for help at the back she's like will you guys wipe my plates please I need help here and I'm like uh it's really quiet in here and I don't even want to talk. So it feels like my son's bar. It's really quiet in here. It's sort of empty. So it feels like the stain of failure is sort of hanging in the air. So they're just standing there watching Sarah nervously hand-blend her dish. So wow, and Gregory's like, this is a little tense over here. Moses says, I feel uncomfortable

even sitting here. And Sarah's like, this is so ugly. God. And Dales just wasted over at the table. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. I don't even know what that guy is. Dispickable me over there. Hey, settle down. Okay. So, uh, so Sarah serves her crispy salmon skin and pak-joy and carries like, oh, where's the rest of the salmon? Did you, uh, did you leave it in the hole in the snow? Is that where you're still cooking back there? Huh? She's like, I'm sorry, I was like, home, we're just saving it for dinner. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! like, oh, you get the skin, but we get the salmon. I'm like, Richard, it was a fucking joke for crying out loud. I mean, yes, she should have included the salmon, but like, you know, Richard, he spent the entire,

he spent the entire time bragging, who made them like that one team jump through hoops to make his like 10 course breakfasts in that one challenge. And now he's gonna complain that someone's acting like Maria Antoinette. Yeah, yeah. And Tom is only when he really stands up for it. He's like, well, it was not

ball unexpected dish that works. Unlike the odd ball unexpected dish that we gave birth to in my family. So I give a credit. It looks somewhat messy and not fussed with, you know? Oh, yeah, like ails fashion every single day. day. So the pasta is getting ready. Chris is getting the pasta ready. And Donna is telling Sarah, uh, should we go talk to them? So there's like, what should we even talk to them about? This is so awkward. I'm bored.

Talk to me. Talk to me. I need a non-thameless person to throw a steak knife at for fun. Anyone? I need a non-thameless person to throw steak knife out for fun. Anyone? Do you have a phone back there? I have to call my very good friend, Leita Wath! So, the Tortellini Brodo comes out and Amar asks, do you have egg yolks in the sprosta?

And he's like, yes, yes I do, I do, sir. And in the future, please don't throw a bone at my head. I'm just trying to serve you dinner. So Tom is like, well, flavor wise is good, but the pasta not not good, not good. It's not there. And Padma says, yeah, why would you put this after the XO the XO brought? I mean, this is just a strange position in the progression Strange position. This is this is just strange. This is what what an odd what an odd progression, right? It's like it's like watching and gale throughout the day. You just say, wow, what is she thinking? What a strange progression of events So Tom's like, well, they're part of you with seafood, but there's nothing tying it together other than,

well, seafood, which I guess I'm kind of messing up my own point, but you know what I mean. And correct, like yeah, I think they just made their own dishes and didn't really think about anybody else's dishes, but I didn't have hotkin my drink, so that was nice. So then Octopus with Molo Ver this squash and said Anoshile and carries like oh wow. Is this spicy or is it just mine? Does someone put mayonnaise in this?

Oh. Oh. I like this dish a lot. Anyway, in case anyone's wondering, I like this dish a lot. Hey, I'm not a lot. Guess what? I just had a dish a lot. Bye. And Kristen says it's better to her. She's missing sweetness and she's like, you know, you get some sweetness from the squash, but no, it's missing sweetness and he was like, yeah, you know, you get some sweetness from the squash, but no, it's not really going to work for me.

And Tom's like, I mean, we didn't get one piece of cooked fish at the seafood restaurant. So wow, that's that's a quite a choice. That's true. It's I believe for that. I 100% bling Gabe. So now it's Chris's dessert and you know, it's it's served. It's his his kelp ice cream with the coconut dubs and everything. So it gets served and gal goes, well, this is petite galus the size of a basketball for crying out loud. Well, points for getting something from the ocean into this.

Oh, you know what? I expected to hate this and I actually love it. And Dale says, well, I don't know if it's just because we're in Oregon and Hazel Mutz are really good here or if I'm just wasted up my fucking ass because my aunt has kept giving me tequila shots. But this, what are we talking about again? Dale, you're literally eating your microphone right now. Could someone clean a mouth?

Oh, it's with. Thanks, everybody. Yeah. Oh, and all, we had two really special delicious meals, except for the one of those meals, which was not special. Oh, delicious. Let's go talk a judge's table. So here we are at Judge's table.

Well, today was really amazing. You set the bar high and every time I say, bar, I just get a little more disappointed in the outcome of my child's life. But you know what? You guys should be proud because you're not my son. Yes, we had two very different experiences. Both were good. One restaurant we would go back to.

The other restaurant we hope dies unfamously. We hope the other restaurant just burns up and attracts all the evil souls known to mankind and gets swallowed up into a little box-go-spuster style. Okay, Team Penny, congratulations, you're awful. We'll talk to you in a bit. Team Coco-Sun, we love awful. We'll talk to you in a bit. Team Cocoa's son, we love you. Now talk to us.

How do you feel? And by the way, it's like, how better now? And Gail's like, well, there was never a question where we were eating. Then why'd she keep asking for big Macs? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. This felt like a concept that had been in works for years. Unlike Gail's fashion, which looks like a concept that came up with, she came up with

five minutes ago. And Christians like, look, I did not do great in restaurant wars. So to see you guys do such cohesive work, it's harder than people think. Ha ha ha ha. Sorry, I can't help laughing whenever Christen talks about her time in restaurant wars. When she got eliminated by me They this is gonna do this is gonna do the rest of her critiques sitting on this box that will fall into water any time I hit it with a tennis ball

But actually when when Kristen said when she said I had the experience of not doing so on restaurant wars They literally cut the padma just grinning and like looking at the other judges. Like remember that. Oh God, be crushed your dreams. Nothing tastes as good as eating Kristen's soul feels. You know, every single dish felt like, I felt like it had a hand in it, you know?

Gales hands, you couldn't get it stuff out of there. Every dish literally did have a hand in it, you know? Gail's hands, you couldn't get herself out of there. I've reduced literally dude, how the hell am I doing? Gail! Do you have any time to use those stupid centetalists from the other restaurant to wipe her down? Mm-hmm, and Maria, you're just so natural with hospitality. You're so focused on our needs, I felt like I was in Tucson. Oh, yes, Nailed it. Yeah, it was really great

having that Tucson simulation going on. I felt like I sure got in some mom jeans and sat out and watched yes there on CBS. Byron, the cure was beautiful. The seasoning was perfect. And you know what, the tongue was great because it was served before the actual sex. So I appreciated that. Now at what point did the sandwich? What time did, what did we decide to put the sandwich at that point and showed us like, well technically that's our braised dish.

And he's like, whoa, oh, touche! OK, touche. All right, all right, OK. It's nice, it's nice to, you know, unlike my son when I ask him why did you do that? You actually have a reasonable and intelligent response. What a refreshing change. So Kristen loved the tongue and then Greg is like that cake, the trust that Jaycake was so money. It was a seamless fit for the concept of the restaurant. You know what's a seamless fit for the concept of top chef? You know what's a seamless fit for

the concept of Top Chef? Not you, that's why you lost. Don't I was like, well, you know, I liked it. It's so beautiful. And then we got something family style, big pot of flavor. And Kristen says, yes, to cross the board, it was top notch, you know, I really, I really loved it because it reminded me of what my mom made me. and I'm really connected to things like that I'm like, yeah, that's why I fall in love anytime someone microwaves me some macaroni and cheese. Yeah, I mean All I need people So the chef the chef that wins is the chef that I want to make sure is working if I went into their restaurant and the winner is Maria oh

Maria is this your first win? How's it feel? Do You want to cry? You want to cry a little bit Maria? Maria, you're not crying enough. I need more than an eye-wat Maria if you want to keep this win. Hey Maria, want to be the next Gregory? Might want to try and cry some. Show some goddamn emotion for once. She's like four months. In my 39 years, I I'm lost for words, but I would not be here if not for Coco's song. Well, this is your first win. Cry more. All right, step to the side and try to remember how to cry. Someone pinched Maria. I want Maria to use by the time she comes back here. Thank you. No, Maria, we don't want to look at your tattoo of Coco Sun. Okay, you took it too far So team penny you have a stupid name and are these favorite restaurants and one of you will mold like yogurt

I'm interested to know why you guys just said okay Let's make it a seafood restaurant and even though this seems to be Gabe's idea, it's dawn is like, well, we wanted the guiding principle to be seafood. And so, Pemma says, what it doesn't seem like the menu is designed by one person. Yeah, it feels sort of like a collection of dishes, just like a incoherent collection of things, just a mismatch patterns. You can do it, Tom. Make your way out. Just think about gas closet and let it guide your way. You can do it, Tom.

Make the insults. Was there a padma on your team, a natural born leader? And Don just looks at Gabe because he was bossing everybody around and he takes zero. He does not look back at her and take zero. He goes, it was a collective. It was a collective. Because there was, there's collective agreements and leadership amongst us. Bull fucking shit. Get out of here. Yeah. Yeah. This is so obnoxious, so terrible. Oh my god, trust me, that's. And he's right because he did decide it up where he's not technically the

leader, but he's still bossing everyone around because if they had one and they said is there a leader he would have been like, well, you know kind of me Yeah, actually Well, yeah exactly he would have totally done that and Adam This is where it drives me nuts where chefs suddenly start acting like they are part of the Navy SEALs like there's other amongst us It's not an issue about honor this This guy fucking came up with a shitty ass idea and he bossed everyone around and now he's, and he fucked everything up with his, with his, his,

his Moose Boosh, which set the wrong tone for the progression. And now he's taking no accountability. It's like not the worst thing the world would be like, well, actually Gabe was kind of our leader. Like, that's okay to do that. That is not being a slimy person to say that because he's gonna throw you guys all under the bus I guarantee it yeah so then they get to the amuse amuse bush and perhaps like first of all that amuse I'm gonna say well you know you expect more of a christos st before four play, you know, that's that's what I would expect.

And Paddle's like that to stata tasted still and under seasoned and it had a weird crunch to it. It was so like I get it. So like my honeymoon with Salmon, you know, gave us like, oh yeah, I get it. I get it. Look guys, I get it. I get it guys. He does not get it. Okay, he just knows., I get it. I get it guys. He does not get it.

Okay, he just told you. You can sit there and fucking take it like everybody else, sir. Yeah. And so, Kristen also thought his artichas was way too bitter. So Greg loved Don's crab dish and Tom's like, yeah, I mean, I think it would have been a better start than the Tastata. Do you hear that, Gabe? Say it again, Tom.

Who would have been better than the Tastata? Better than the Tastata. Do you hear that Gabe? Say it again, Tom. Who did it better than the Tostata? Better than the Tostata Gabe. Hear that? Hear that. And you know the scallop dish? It was just, I mean, there was nothing I would change. Except. No, there was nothing I would change. Except. My dress? Good one, Kale. Now you're catching on. Look, Drift would finally figure it out. So pat him on his head. She's like, Sarah, it's interesting that both of your dishes had creamy, non-dairy sauce. Did you wonder if they were too similar?

I mean, let me rephrase that. Did you mean to serve us two dishes with jizz on it? Those dishes suffered from not having a cohesive menu and so it's like, wow, I just didn't think that you know, don's dish would be so warm. So like, oh wow, really? So you're going to go how you do a subtle like, you know, like, hey, it's not my fault, right? No, I thought that was a dick move. Now you're going to throw, yeah, you're gonna throw her under the bus instead of fucking Gabe who's sitting there making all these fucking

decisions and Gail's like, well the hell a bit felt puzzling. The fish was way deep down. Yeah, and the salmon skin was, you know, I mean, I thought it was quirky, you know, and quirky is when you're at your best. So I liked it. Yeah. And Sarah's like, I have to embrace the weird. No, I mean, I think that like, I don't think that dawn deserve to have a microaggression from Sarah, but I'm just saying like, it's in that tone that they could have been like, yeah, no, Gabe is the leader. That's exactly how you, that's how they would know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, so yeah. So Pat, Chris, I questioned why the total Lini course came in the order that it did. I thought it belonged to a earlier, but the totalini, it was a little tough. Just sort of like walking right into Gail's wardrobe. You see everything all around and you say to yourself, this is a little tough. I think I'm going to go. It just needed more sauce, which is why I pour sauce on Gale every single night before she comes to the show Now

Kristen, what did you think and Kristen's like I'd loved ice cream? Oh, yeah, one other thing is there was no clear front of house person. I needed you to be more present I mean, that's the joy in dying to get a chef's table You get to eat foods at this decent while you look at people who are poor and less famous than you. I mean, isn't it a little odd that you would have huge celebrities sitting in front of you and then you wouldn't even want to talk to them and ask for autographs or life advice? It just seems strange.

One time I was at Benny Hanna's with Gail and the guy was so present that he saw my face and actually burned his hand. Okay. That's what I want to see. It was so awkward when they made that. The little tower of onions and lidded on fire and Gail tried to drink it. Gail, it was on fire for crying out loud.

Oh, we still laugh about her and her. Blistered little lips in the ICU. Well, the major town show,'s now judges are alone. She's like, the major town part of Penny is they didn't work together. Just like so many of Gale's outfits, you know, and Gale says, but you know what, Don's scallop stood above the rest. We can all agree that Don is safe, right? So then Don, by the way, is the only one on that team that got universal praise. And then we go to the steering room and Dawn's like, well, if I don't see any of you guys tomorrow, they're like, shut up, Dawn.

Because she always does that. I forgot. Like, remember the first episode when, like, she was part of the group that just wasn't brought in. And she's like, well, they have the tops and the bottoms, but there's always a chance that I could still get sent out. I was like, well, they have the tops and the bottoms, but there's always a chance that I could still get some time. It's like, dawn, you're literally safe. Yeah. So they liked Chris's ice cream, but it's pasta, you know, sucked.

And Greg goes, yeah, unfortunately, his pasta was brittle and patented because, have you made that mistake before? How many times can you make a mistake? And from a very famous person, it's just rude at a point. Oh I love how angry she gets. So then Chris is back there saying how he failed at redemption and back to the judges Greg says yeah you know game games octopus I feel was a realized dish and Pat and goes yeah you know when I had said, yeah, that's my seafood dish. It's like the time I did. First time I saw Gail coming out of quarantine. That's my seafood dish.

And Kristen says his to start it was inedible. And Gail says, yeah, you know, I agree, but I liked it more than that halibut from Sarah, you know, I mean, but there was a lot I loved about her second dish. Well each of these three had a dish we didn't like. There was a lack of communication, and that was their downfall. I think we have our answer. Get what's their names out here, please. Hey, could you get all three of those people with that IMDB pages out here? Someone bring in one fifth of Nickel, please. Thank you. So they come in.

Well, you know, some of our most talented chefs met their demise and in restaurant wars like Kristen. Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Kristen. I didn't mean to bring that up again. Mm-hmm. Boom. Tenous Spal. I warned you about it. But it starts with good planning and unfortunately a talented chef is going to go home tonight. It's not going to be one of you but the winner will also be taking you back technically to their home because that's where they're living.

Padma had the bad news down to the terrible girl who likes using yogurt too much and that we all secretly want to joke on yogurt. Go ahead Padma, and drop it. Padma, please stop me from this monologue. It's getting really violent. Sarah, please pack your yogurt and go activity up. Sarah, we appreciate that you really enjoy bringing us culture literally through yogurt, but you're not good enough. Well, and don't forget, it's not over yet because there's still less chance kitchen. Sarah, clock and chickens for chickens with clock and yogurt face top clock and chicken.

See you next week. Will Sarah make it in chicken culture town. Let's see next week when Sarah clocks at chicken clock. Um yeah. So Sarah, I was surprised it was Sarah. It should have been Gabe. But Gabe has that like big, Gabe's famous or something because they're all kissing Gabe's ass. This whole fuck really are. This is the second time Gabe could have gone home and they're all kissing Gabe's ass, this whole fucking video. This is the second time Gabe could have gone home and they're like kissing his ass and I don't get it. I mean, I know his restaurant, Gormador is very famous here in Austin,

but he did get fired from it, maybe he got fired from it later. I don't know the timeline of all of this, but they're really up his ass because of his trendy restaurant, I think. Yeah, Sarah was actually really good and she's been at the top almost all season. She's had a few misfires. So this was pretty surprising.

I actually thought, you know, I think Chris saved himself because he made that. I basically if Dale had not ordered that second bowl of coconut ice cream, then I think Chris would have gone home. But yeah, this was a surprising turn. But I also do think that if it was clear that Gabe was the leader and that he, as the leader, he should have been overseeing this progression, right? And I think that actually he would have gone home. But the fact that he just took no responsibility

and everyone was too nice to be like, actually, he was the leader. He was the too nice to be like actually he was leader. He was the one who suggested the name. He was the one who came up with a theme. He was the one who was doing this and that and that and he was the one weighing in on how everything should taste. Then I think that he would have gone home. Yeah, agreed. Well, but alas, it didn't. Yeah, agreed. Well. But alas, it didn't. I will.

Such a top chef. Well everyone, thank you so much for listening. We'll be back later, probably today, with our shots of Sunset Recap, which I believe is also our 1500th episode. Just cray, cray. Anyway, we'll talk to you on the next one. Bye. Bye everybody, love ya. Watch what crap ends with like to think it's premium sponsors. Ain't no thing like Allison King.
