Hope you got a glass of water because all week I've been thinking about the previous things from this week Which are basically just all ragging on Britney for not being able to handle any spice. I'm just going to go. Oh, the spicy go-woah, that is spicy! Oh my goodness, why are these graham crackers so spicy? Woo! This rice is so good.

Who put Puccane sauce in the marshmallows? Geez, these things are nuts. Wow, this whole wheat toast has me on fire right now. Wow. Hey guys, our cows made out of just pure chili peppers. I mean, this milk is killing me. How do cows survive with that burning fire and their udders? I don't understand it. Woo!

We'll bother you more about it when when it gets closer. I'm like every goddamn day. How can we bother the more? Okay, we're going to bother you every goddamn day'm like, every goddamn day, how can we bother the more? Okay, we're gonna bother you every goddamn day. Okay. Every goddamn day.

It's how we roll in these parts, okay. So here we are. Top Chef, everybody's waking up. This episode is called Throne for Loop. Mmm. Like Gale, when she finds out they ran out of pace, they address bond, Throne for Loop. Like Gail, when she finds out they ran out of pace, the address barn thrown for a loop. So everybody's waking up and Kiki is not in the mood today because she's been on the

bottom. Not very happy about it. And Shota is like, well, you know what I learned from last week is you really have to make sure the challenge is on the plate. And Chris is like, yeah, I'm really just figuring out who I am as a chef. I'm from New Hampshire. Have I mentioned that? And Kiki is like, she's like, you know what? I'm just, I feel like I'm not cooking me, you know?

I'm just like two in my head. Like, I need to cook my food. My, I need to get back to my roots, which is deeply undercooked chicken with salmonella. And that's my style. I have to get back to that. You know what? One thing I wanna do with this world is I wanna meet people say,

is this a chicken breast, or is this a lollipop? Okay. That is what I'm looking for. Yeah, so then we see Gabe. Gabe is face-timing with his kids. And by the way, some people have messaged us about this. Gabe, I think, got into, not got into, he, like, some gray cloud over Gabe.

He's working at a restaurant over by you in Austin. And he was talking to my friend's restaurant. My friend's with this family who owns this restaurant. Really? And I cannot wait to see this guy so I can ask him about the gossip with Gabe. But this guy's not a gossip at all. He's like a really just sweet person. So probably be like, well, you know, what happened was just it was really it was really sad. And it, you know, I wish

it could have gone better because he's like a real sweet guy. But I just Googled it right now. It says Austin restaurant. Comedor parts ways with executive chef over repeated violation of policies. All right. So what does this mean? The policies are something. It's sort of so there's not much more in my brief looking than that. But I think people are, you know, saying online that they're, I don't know, maybe it's a me too situation. I'm not sure, but we will keep tabs on that one.

Repeated violations of our policies and for behavior and conflict with our values. Now, do I know what that means? I don't. I do know that my friend is sober. He's been doing a really great job. And so he's doing this thing. He's doing like a lot of positive things at the restaurant, like instead of going out

and getting wasted, which really any person who works in a restaurant knows, that's kind of part of the culture. It's like, you do your work and then you get shit faced and then you wake up before the next day and go back to work. So instead of doing that, he started like yoga with the staff and like all of this stuff.

So they are kind of like a hippie-dippy kind of a company. So I don't, you know, I mean, who talks like that? Like behavior and conflict with our values. Like how am I supposed to know what that means? I need like someone bitchy and gossipy to tell me what this means. I know, I know. Cause I don't know what this means.

They're like, we'll get to the bottom of it. But all I knew is that when we saw him face timing with his family, I was like, okay, so this is karma because I've heard that there was like some no good stuff happening when with his firing. And so now he's, he's talking to his family, which means he's probably gonna get eliminated this episode. I was like, when you see the FaceTime with the family,

if there's like a 80% chance you're going home, but there is unfortunately a 20% chance you're gonna win. So I was gambling that it was gonna be the elimination, which I was, spoiler, I was wrong about that. So, yeah, I don't know. I'm looking it up like it's a assault. I don't know what it is. Like that's the rumor. Is it some kind of some kind of harassment or assault? Like some harassment or something.

Oh, no, no, no, gave a rallies. But I told you in the very beginning, I do not trust a man who wears Kerseth on his interview shirt. Okay. I know that that's supposed to be your chef jacket. I don't trust you, sir. Okay, with your watery eyes. Don't run, rumbled. Rumbled shirt. I know that that's supposed to be your chef jacket. I don't trust you, sir, okay, with your watery eyes. Don't turn rumbled. Rumbled shirt. So, yeah, so he's based on me. That's whole family loves Top Chef and they're just like really so proud of him. The daughter goes, I'm so proud of you because you're still in Top Chef and then it cuts to the squirrel. And it's like a very long shot of a squirrel just staring suspiciously. I was like, he's getting eliminated. Look at the squirrels like, the squirrel is angry right now.

The squirrels like this daughter thinks she knows everything that he's still on top chef, but I know what's going to happen. He's about to get eliminated. I was like the squirrel. Well, it's a dead squirrel. I mean, it's a dead squirrel, which is even more of a sign, right? I mean, here's this dead stuffed squirrel just sitting there,

because they're in that hotel with all the taxors. Oh, I thought that was a real squirrel. Oh, is a dead squirrel. No, it was a taxidermy squirrel. So I was like, he's out. He's out of here. But I think he might actually come close to winning because he does really good work.

Yeah, but also there's just, I don't know. I don't know why I get that feeling okay I'm gonna I've no idea where I was gonna go with that Dead squirrel or as gale calls it lunch Good morning dumb dumbs if there's one thing this year that has taught us it's that we should keep our pantries very well Stop listen if you open your pantry and it doesn't look like gales, you're probably gonna starve to death. All right.

You never know when gales become knocking on your door, okay? So always have a well-stocked pantry, okay? So, do you guys wanna see what's in this? What I call poor person food closet? Okay, let's open it up. To Lenty family, I'm sorry. What is it? It's a round container with something poor people like Green oh, oh wait no, it's not that is an attire This tire has been furnished by the food and wine festival and aspen

What are these strange things that are around in metallic? You shake them up. It makes a squishy sound on the inside. Is this, are these bricks, is this how buildings get made? What do you do with these? Oh, can soup. Okay. Well, if you open up the kitchen cabinets in just about any poor person's home in the America, there's apples. Chances are, what is this? If you open

up the kitchen cabinets and just about any American house right now, chances are there will be some Campbell soup. Of course, if you open up the cabinets in my house, chances caviar, pasta, and food from Italy. Exactly. And Dale's like, guys, I have a two-year-old. So getting dinner on the table is a must. Well, as I like to. Everyone else, we can just like skip dinner

for the rest of their lives. Children, unlike normal humans, eat things. Alright, chefs. Today, your challenge is to create a dish that evokes a food memory, but elevate it, and use campal soup. Now, of course, it should be a special memory, not a terrible memory. Like the time I had you that ridiculously called ball avasar whether it's a family dinner a holiday meal or in crying in front of your friends

drunk at 3 a.m. let's find out why people use this round cylindrical poor person's food the winner will not only receive something but they'll all immunity but they'll also get a souped up cash prize of 10,000 gales. I'm sorry. 10,000 gale blouses. Do it and also as a reminder take us back to that special place but we don't just want to see a classic casserole or pot pies okay we're not idiots, alright, get rid of all that stupid American food, alright? What we're looking for is quail, starlight, and origami, okay go.

I have one question for you, where did cream of mushroom soup come from anyway? Or was I like to call it gal and a can, am I right? Oh that's what they're called, cans's it's all coming back to me now So Dawn almost gets run over by Portland smot as everybody's running around and she's like Jesus And I love that she just hates the Portland smot. Yeah, I love it Now here was my guess and it turned out to be true These fucking chefs you always know what the chefs are gonna do the easy choice here is cream with mushroom and they pretty much almost all use it right? Yeah, it's the most complex stunning. It tastes the least like metal if you ask me

So Gabriel he is of course annoying and he's like, you know what, in Oregon, we're always using Chantarell. I mean, like anything and everything is Chantarell. Like, listen, I like a Chantarell. I like a mushroom that sounds like it could be, you know, someone who sings a song. But with other mushrooms, it's like a mushroom group that sings in harmony. I'm into it.

Yeah, I like that, but don't act like everyone in Portland is eating shantarels at all times. Okay, let's just relax. And stop acting like you don't run a sandwich shop. You know what I mean? He's like, oh an Oregon shantarels. Don't be quiet. Make me stop running shantarels.

Okay, you're running shantarels. Okay, you know what? Like, let France have the shantarels, okay? So then Kiki is like, Kiki wanted to do a collard green like Gritan, but there's no collard green, so she's gonna do a Swiss charred Gritan. And she's acting like this is the most difficult

imposition that's ever been placed on her. She's like, oh, well, they don't have the collard green. So I guess I have to make Swiss charred Gritan. I'm like, that's about as easy of a substitution as you can imagine, right? Like that's not like some crazy thing we had to do like a huge, crazy, crazy pivot. I mean, I know they're different greens, but I mean, girl, it's a lot of, you're going to have to cook them way, way down. Okay, there's a hint.

To both of them require a lot of cooking. They both do. They both, They both do. They both do. They both do. Both some very thick, staky greens. So she's like, you know, my dish is usually evolved over a year. And I hate quick fires. I mean, it's a secret, but I guess it's not a secret anymore. So then we got a show up and he's doing cream of mushroom, of course. And he's doing a savory egg custard because that's what his mama used to make.

Yeah. And then Maria's dish is inspired by the first dish that she cooked for her wife who's like a firefighter. And then Nelson is going to make a cod seafood boil and then Gabe, he's like, oh, well, I see that Nelson's doing something with the cod and I'm doing something with the cod. So game on or something like that. Yeah. Some cod posturing there.

Yeah, some cocky cod. It's a cocky cod off. Oh, Hi, Bieler. How are you, babe? He's like, um, it's gloomy outside, so I should be fed right now. That's the role. Um, so... That is a good play. Yeah, so, uh, Ava Shar is doing a play on chicken masala,

and he's like, the story goes to England. The chef was serving tent-wry chicken, but then the customer was like, um, this chicken is too dry. So he just dropped it and my camel's tomato soup. Um, there we go. Well, that's the story. It's called Tika Missala, not talking Missala. Shut up.

So then Sarah, I don't know why Sarah bothers me so much. I love Sarah. It's really, she bugs the shit out of me and it's really not fair to her because she's not doing anything wrong. I'm just sensing something and I'm sensing like a cocky fake humility, humility that makes me crazy. She's like, one of the first dishes I mean

in the whole like stay at home thing with a cream of mushroom. Ah! I mean, I would do like a stroganoffy thing. So to elevate it I'm gonna do it with smoked mushroom. I've never heard anybody say special. I'm not learning how to make that shit from a German. So don't come in here with your... Oh, special! It's also really passive-aggressive considering that our Alpine chef was just kicked off and she's like, I'm gonna do special now. The other thing is, I love that this challenge is about like,

please make a dish of one of the other one's memories of the past year. And she's like, I'm gonna do a dish of when I realized I had to stay inside because there's a global pandemic and life would be inultrably changed. That's my reward memory. That is actually true. So then someone passes by Marie and they go, how you doing, Marie?

And she goes, I'm still kicking, Bappy. So Dawn is doing a play of a crew of mushroom chicken because she has that with her mom every week. And Chris is saying how we just try to keep it So Dawn is doing a play of a crew of mushroom chicken because she has that with her mom every week. And Chris is saying how we just trying to keep it simple and he's just gonna make comfort food and he's gonna just make grilled cheese with tomato soup which is like, hello, why is no one else doing this?

It's like the most obvious thing. It's Campbell's soup. Like, I just love it. Everyone's just being so shaffee and Chris is the only one that's like, oh yeah. Campbell Soup, Comfort Food, okay, grilled cheese and tomato soup. Perfect. Because it just seems like the least creative thing you can do, don't you? Didn't you think that when you started making it?

I was like grilled cheese, they're not going to like this. Well, I think it depends on if you can, if you can jizz it up, you know? And so here's where I started to think Chris was going to go home because he's like, my wife is my rock and, you know, we have an eight month old daughter and so here's where I started to think Chris was gonna go home because he's like, my wife is my rock and you know, we have an eight month old daughter and then there's a picture on screen. I was like, uh oh, okay, so Chris and Gabe are in the bottom two. That was my, that was my take. Five minutes, dummies.

So they're all plating and it's time up. So Gabe was first and he's like, I was inspired by a seafood stew I had in Mexico. It's God and it's made with a cream of chicken soup. Bad one goes, where in Mexico inspired this game? He's like Tabasco. More like Tabasco away from me. I can't stand your face anymore with your rumbles shirt. God you're stupid. Okay, next Shoda and then our first one of the season classic podma she goes Did you mean for the chow and mooshy to be this loose? He's like, yeah, I like it loose not really. He probably not really. You know, I called gale that sometimes loose chow and mooshy

How did you know what gale's nickname in high school was? Yeah, so he was like, yeah, I like it, Luce. And Patma just stares it in like, you're not gonna get this one by me, little man. So then Don's next and she made a cream of mushroom. She used a cream of mushroom. She used a cream of mushroom to make a chicken and rice fritter. So what she made?

Did you mean for this challenge, move to be this loose? Sorry, I just wanted to say it again. You're doing great, Dawn. What is this chicken skin? She's like, yeah, I did that on purpose. She's like, oh, sorry, that was Gail's other name in high school. How'd you guys have your own game show going on today. Wow, did you

just open up the yearbook of stupid high school graduation year, 1935? She's, oh, she's very old. So then as Jamie, she made a Vietnamese shrimp tomato soup. And she's like, you know, it was just because I can lock down. I was like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding That's who I met in the first place. So then... Sarah. So she serves her smoked mushroom shogun' off with spatula and she's pan is like, is that bacon in this? That was how Gail was asked to the prom, by the way. She's like, no, I just smoked the mushrooms. Okay, so that's Sarah's trick

She's just gonna smoke everything cuz it makes her fancier. Yeah, everything is smoked Nice idea for an idiot get out of my face. Okay, who's the next non-famous person? Why does every Sarah dish tastes like emphysema anyone? I was just telling my dear friend, need a wait, that the only thing I want to smoke from now on is a nice dubia, am I right everyone? Or are you not wealthy enough to afford drugs? Sorry, crack cocaine lovers. Comotions, here comes one right now.

So if you'd like to laugh with us as we talk about the hardest job in the world, listen to, I love my kid, but wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad free on the Amazon Music or Wondery app. So then Byron is next and he's like, I call this one, Every Day is Thanksgiving. Well, you know, every day is a day that kills letting out her pets. the Byron is next and he's like, I call this one, everyday is Thanksgiving. Wow.

You know, every day is a day that Gail's letting out her pants. So good call, Byron. Ha, ha Mexico City because there he had, or the other guy was just Mexico, this is Mexico City, but he's like, you know, I had cod there and so I really liked it. So I made seared cod with tomato ginger sauce. Really original. Okay. Second cod of the day, what are you guys trying to do?

Just turn us into two Cod people Dale take it from here. Okay, I'm the stuck Well, I do have a two-year-old never mind Dale. Just be quiet Okay, so the next up is Avashar with his chicken It's like a his chicken toastika masala. That's like a, his chicken toastyka masala, that's like a shrimp toast and a chicken, chicken toastyka masala, whatever. And, you know, they like it, they like it, they all say,

oh, this is very inventive. So your glasses, God, who would wear those things? God, am I right, Avashar? Oh, wait, never mind, I don't mean to be an alliance with you, you're a poor person. I'll just, you're a poor person. I'll just do it myself. So then Kiki deserves her Swiss chard, Gaton, and Padden was like, how long did you cook the chard?

And so I'm five to seven minutes. And I mean, look, I'm no professional chef, but even I was like, what? What? The seven minutes. What the hell's going on? She had 45 minutes. She had 45 minutes. I mean, how long was she planning to cook the hell is going on? She had 45 minutes. She had 45 minutes. I mean,

how long was she planning to cook the collard greens for? Because collard greens need like 45 minutes, like five to seven minutes. Yeah. That is not a five to seven minute dish ram. So then Chris serves his fancy grilled cheese. And then Maria brings out her cabbage salad with poached egg and tomato soup vinaigrette. And she's like, I made it for my wife, and Padden goes, obviously it worked. And then Gabriel comes up with a grilled flay with chanterales.

He goes, for me, the memory is mushrooms. I mean, I would be in the forest right now foraging for chanterales. Oh, well, you and Gail can do that together. Except she doesn't really forge for chanterels, more like Twinkies. You know what I'm saying? Bless her heart. Bless her heart.

Don't even bury him. Just throw him on the ground. Sure. She'll just follow her nose. So, Dale, we're talking about the least favorite now. So, Dale announces Nelson is one of them. And Padma's like, you know, basically the cod was me between takes. I mean, it was just hammered.

Just, just hammered. You know, like Gail's choice is a Talbets, there were a few dishes that were a little less successful. know, like Gail's choices at Talbets, there were a few dishes that were a little less successful. So does had a layer of liquid on top that they didn't like, and Kiki's Swiss charred never clicked out. It was more like a warm salad. But there is some good news, which I don't like, so I'll let you do that stupid day. I'll go for it. There is some bottle glasses.

There is some good news for the people who did not already receive very bad news. She does say that every week, doesn't she? You need to read people are terrible, but there's some good news, aside from those terrible people, there's some people who actually excelled. I don't know how. Yeah. So, games. There was a depth of flavor that felt like it was it took longer than 30 minutes to produce that in Sarah

You know the smoked mushroom really brought me to Thanksgiving with my mommy. Oh I really love that you made your own gal in 30 minutes. Let's say gal. I meant spetzel I love that you did that in 30 minutes She's like actually Spooch. No, it's not stupid, but it still tasted good and Chris grill cheese and tomato soup. I mean have basic and wonderful in my eye The winner is Chris congratulations Chris don't talk to me Look over there poor person. I didn't say look me in the eye and Chris is like yeah, you know what?

I learned a lesson today. I'm just gonna let my grilled cheese through the talking Chris you've won a lifetime supply of telephones from Campbell soup here and here's some string You fun yourself 100 gale dresses You fun yourself? 100 gale dresses. No way. Oh, so throw you for a loop. Okay, this next challenge is gonna throw you for a loop.

Located just one hour east of Portland, you'll find Oregon's fruit loop. And no, I don't mean Dale's general appearance. I mean... A mountain range that runs between Columbia River, Peaches, Applesauce, and Sauerkraut. I forgot what I'm even talking about. Did I mention I was hammered? Did I mention that the right way to say

is Spetzel and Spetzel, idiot Sarah over there. I'm still angry about it. I'm best friends with Angela Merkel and even she told me how to say it, okay? So, my good friend Angela Merkel. My dear friend, the other night I was on a three-way zoom with Lena Weith and Angela Merkel and we're all laughing about how spetzel is our favorite food. And Angela Merkel kept on saying spetzel, spetzel, spetzel.

So I think I kind of know what I'm talking about. So basically they're going to go to this orchard and they, you're going to shop for fruit right after trees. And they're going to have to make savory fruit dishes not desserts. This is not the time for apple pie, okay? So just like at the quick fire, I said no pot pie. I still continue the pie ban on this episode. Sorry. Um, so everyone's nervous because they're only gonna have

three day or three hours to prep and cook and there no one really knows what to make because they don't what fruit they have, they don't know what ingredients they have. So they're scared. So the next morning, they drive over there, and they're really showing off these cars. At one point, didn't someone take a drink out of the... Yeah, Shota. He's like, it's so cold. And then last week, there was a moment... We didn't even talk about it, but last week,

there was a moment where they're like, Hey, check out this cool feature. It's got a little fob. Whoa! So do the cup holders in that beamer make your drink cold? I'm wondering. I mean, that's actually kind of a really cool feature. You know what? Guys, fuck it. I'm ending this podcast. I'm getting a BMW. We're getting a beamer, baby. No, never Subaru. I will stick by your side. So let's see, they drive over there and everyone's scared.

And Kiki's like, you know, I'm a little scarred, frankly. And don't it's like, just be yourself. You know, just be yourself, which I think is just terrible advice to be anybody. It's like, if I wanted to be myself, I'd stay at home, okay? I want to win something. Okay, I need to be somebody else. Tell me who I can be. Yeah, yeah, we need to disappear into someone's persona.

So they arrive at this orchard and their degree them are Carrie and Melissa. And so Carrie is like, fruit doesn't always get their respect to deserves and savory dishes. You know, it's like, you know, it's like, fruit is almost like cheesecake. You know, you bake it in a hole in the snow

in the middle of Colorado and everyone's like, I want something else, you know what I'm saying? It's just people don't get respect. Like you can literally make a cake in the snow and still not wind up chef. You know what I'm talking about? Fruit. I'm Melissa's with her and she's like, well, guys, something's gonna be missing in your pantry. No vegetables. What about that spin, guys? And so they're like, oh my god. Yeah, welcome to Gale's pantry, am I right?

Pat my year off today. Sorry, I accidentally zoomed in. Angela says hi. Sorry, Putin's on the other line. Hey, Putin, it's me, your good friend, Padma. I just wanted to ask you a very important question that affects all of us these horrible times. Vladimir, when do burritos come from anywhere?

What is Chap Sui? Hey, do you want to hear how hot dogs are made? Flat me, are you still underlined? Flat me? So Nelson is all sad because he had all these ideas. And now they're all ruined by this. And the rule is they have to go pick they have to go pick their own fruit, and they can, that's the only fruit they can use. So they all go running to the orchards, which is great because we haven't had the frantic whole food sprint. And so this sort of gave

us a taste of that, except a little bit more invasive because they're like running through and just like yanking fruit off trees. And it's exciting. Yeah, I mean, these poor things having to run around, whenever you make a group of through and just like yanking fruit off trees. And it's exciting. Yeah, these poor things having to run around whenever you make a group of chefs run, they're like, oh, God, my feet, my back. Just they're not meant to run. Okay. They've moved like 10 feet from a lesson, Gary. It's all on the ground, panting.

They're just like throwing their hose at a tree, just waiting for something to fall down. Don't like, please don't make me do this. Mosh, mosh, mosh. Is there a man history around here? Please don't do this to me. Cigabriel is just being annoying again and he's talking about how he moved back to Portland from New York because he just loves being in your nature and shent or else. Uh, yeah, we're right. Mm-hmm, yeah, we're right.

We're right. I'm just kidding. Yeah, if you totally got fire, you couldn't hack it, kid. Couldn't hack it. That's right. Sorry, that John Budges let you go. Now we got real name there. Did we work for atomic craft?

Yeah, you did. I did motor. Till they got fired. Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Turns out the top branch aren't the only things that we fire up. Huh?

Huh? Huh? So then Sarah's like, I cook with fruit often, but you know, no vegetables. That's difficult. So I have a couple of fruit sauces planned. It's gonna get wild. Ha ha ha ha ha ha Yo, the green isn't a fruit dummy. If it's smoked it is. Oh!

By the way, for some reason I feel obligated to say this that Gabriel, we don't know if you ever got fired. That was a joke. Just want to be excited. I'm like, I just already am sensing people be like, he did not get fired. So I'm just saying it was just a joke. It's just a joke. Yeah, we're just kidding.

But whenever someone's like, you know what? I moved back home from New York City because I just miss nature. Oh, okay. So then, uh, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show, show him Dom is like, hey, Shoda, you should come get some of these Acondas with me. He's like, is that because I'm Japanese and she's like, yeah, he goes, oh, okay, coming. And then Nelson, he really wanted to get he has some fruits and he's like, he says that he really wants to get some peaches and some pink pearls But his shins and his feet hurt too much and he's like, they're just too far away.

He just is like, I just have to deal with this for you. I'm not going, I'm not going any farther. Yeah. Paras and apples. I look down, there was a pair in an apple. We're going for that. Paras and apple. So, kitchen time.

So Kiki takes chicken wings and Dawn has some apples. She's going to make some duck and Maria got the same kind of apple and she's going to do a bone de gas. Okay, I turned back on the spell check on my iPad, which was the biggest mistake. Yeah, because it doesn't have words like a bone de gas. So it says also divas. So I'm like, what? Maria said what? Yeah, the first thing I ever made for my wife or divas, actually, I just actually did some divas and killed them and just made them and just made them and just take

that she loved them. She ate an entire ballet company. And that's what I said. You know what? I love her. But she's mad because she doesn't have her chilies. So she has a lot of pre-cars. She's like, whatever.

And then Gabe is like, you know what? I'm gonna make what I call orchardzu. And it's inspired by mole and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna gently cook a plum because you wanna preserve, I'm like, shut up, shut up. I don't care. I don't wanna hear about your plum and your big egg. Like, you know how you deal with fruit, you slow-ostum.

It's very delicate. Fruit is very, very delicate. You know, you deal with fruit, you slow-ost them. It's very delicate. Fruit is very, very delicate. I know I should chew. So then Tom comes and you know, because you just hear this coming up a hill. Yep, boom, boom. Yep, boom. That's where you come from. That hill.

There you go. So we're in the orchard. Yep. So Portland's not Gabriel is making oysters and he's basically just doing three toppings. He's doing three oysters with three different fruit based toppings. And he's like, I know people might think that that's weird, but it's a very meticulous dish. Yeah.

I mean, people who don't like it probably also don't like chanterels and we don't hang out with those people. No, I mean people who don't like it probably also don't like Sean Tarell's and We don't hang out with those people. No, I'm sorry those people belong in New York City, okay So then Tom goes up to Avashar he talks to Chris for a little bit, which is I don't know unremarkable And then he goes up to Avashar. I don't know cuz I didn't write to I just had me talk to Chris Chris, Poor Chris. He's from New Hampshire. So, um, uh, who went for your diet anyway?

Am I my resume? So then Tom goes up to Avashar, and Avashar was like, well, I'm making an Ohio, Ohio toe. It's, Brzozo from Ohio. And he's like, ah, uh, Tom's like, I don't know ifai-Oto, it's Brzoto from Ohio and he's like Uhhh Uhhh

I'm like, I don't know if I should bend my uh Up or down like Uhhh Uhhh Uhhh Uhhh You know what I'm gonna give it? I'm gonna give it a solid Oh

So, of a star it's like, you know, I just know that if I call it risotto You're gonna judge me really harshly about that He's like, huh, you know what? He can make risotto just to it right. All right. Just to it right. You know, it's so funny how people from the other generation are afraid of judgment. It's like it's almost like having a son who says the only reason why he never followed in his father's successful footsteps is because he was too paralyzed by the crushing expectations to which I say I thought I raised a son not a pussy. Dropping a moussel just.

So he goes to Kiki and she's doing chicken wings and he's like you're gonna use a smoker for that? Nope, I'm gonna use one of the friars and he goes no you're gonna use a smoker or one of these tiny little baby friars and he goes, uh, no, you're going to use a smoker or one of these tiny little baby fires. All right. I would, would, would, is there a two-year-old around here who is trying to learn how to fry because I don't even know if this is real? Um, you realize that this kitchen set is actually just a fish-upris kitchen set and it's plastic and not meant for actual cooking and you're putting oil in there and trying to light on fire. It's not going to work. You may also notice that we've furnished all the cooking stations with giant big green egg things, sort of a hint, kind

of a hint about what we're expecting here. But sure, use that little fryer from Spencer Gifts. It'll be great. Yeah. And he's like, oh, okay, like he's obviously, he's trying to tell her, do not do this, right? And so she goes, well, I sense his concern and I'm thinking, should I grill? But then you know what? I just need to stick to my plan. Warning! Yeah.

I could go both ways because on the one hand, you know, the people who just like do their food, you know, they like cook from the heart, that's what they excel, right? But sometimes when they just think that they're following their heart, they're just being idiots. So it's hard to know how it's going to work out, but my guess was deep frying in the orchard when everyone else is grilling, I don't know, felt like not, not smart. Not smart, though.

So he's like, well, chefs, you know, I came here, I saw more fruit than I've ever seen in my life and I cannot wait to have a acidic stomach after eating all this fruit. So see you later. Yeah, bye. So then there's a butterfly on Show Does Work's workstation, which is like so shut. Of course you'd have a butterfly and also so Ronnie.

I was, you know, it's perfect for you. I was so jealous. Like I just looked at my butterfly and I was like, you hideous. Look at that butterfly. That's a butterfly, all right. You could have been on top chef. I need you to go back into that cocoon and don't come out and tell you a more intricate. I then nature, you know, you know when they, you know on Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park they say nature finds a way.

Nature does find a way because it be went and stung Gabriel and I was like thank you be. Be it's like on behalf of all the Chantarels. Fuck you. Yeah, so, yeah. Nelson is curing his scallops, which is very noble. And then he's going to go light because everybody says he's just been making too much. So he's like, you know, I come from the best seafood restaurant in Oakland. So I'm going to do this for them.

And then Byron is doing a homemade pasta, which I was also terrified for, just because that's always scary on these shows. And it's so windy that he can't get it into the kitchen made pasta flat and her thing. Right. They treat it like it's the opening scene in Cliff Hanger. You know, they're like, you're watching this like pasta swing and the one that gets too windy.

It's too windy. We have to turn back. No, I could get the pasta in the machine. We could do it. Like, that's like top chefs, like version version of a highly-succeeded scene. But Rocky's like, I'm doing it. Hey. And the pasta falls.

Yeah, the pasta falls. Yeah. Falls into the canyons. Then it stands up and it's got Sylvester Stallone's current face. Wow. By the way, we should also mention that when Nelson was talking about Oakland, we saw a picture of him with his wife. So also on the block.

Yeah, I think they're just fucking with us this episode because you know how they'll have a couple episodes here where they're like, everybody gets a call home today. Yeah. Wait a minute. They just keep cutting people, cutting two people, talking to a loved one on the phone. So the judges show up at like a tent and Gail's like, Oh my God, can we have all our meals here? And Pam was like, right, right. Oh, wait, that was Gail who said that. Never mind. Gail, you say that everywhere.

I got into an elevator with Gail last week and she said, can we have all our meals here? I said, Gail, you know, stop pulling chicken wings out of your purse. Please, it's an elevator. You're embarrassing me. Gail, I mean, it's hard when you say we have all our meals. It feels like you never even finished the last one. It's just one long, continuous one. So really, everywhere you go is where you're having your meal.

Hmm. So, um, Kwame is really in a race with Gail this season for Crazy Close at the judging table. Not that Gail's are crazy. They're just like really patterning me. And Kwame's are very, today it's very like Lawrence Welky. It's like a mint green kind of fluffy dress jacket thing. So Gabe is in the house. So he goes first, right? And he's really good about his plums, just so you know. Yeah, because he smoked them. And so they're beautifully intact. Okay. I know I'm a treat of fruit. All right. I know how to treat a fruit. Hey, guys, I don't know if you heard, but I have some beautifully intact plums. Yeah. They're

not completely. I treat fruit way better than I treat my staff. Okay, read it up on the internet. Read up on it. Unlike my job, these plums are beautifully intact. So let's see. Avastar. Oh, Portland's not is giving advice. Don't take advice from this person. Anybody ever happened. I was like, uh, no way. Don't do that.

Yeah, AvaShar is asking him to taste. And he's like, keep going. Needs more starch, needs more starch. You know what this plate needs? More starch, which... Chantorails. Chantorails. Yeah, which of course really hurts AvaShar in the end.

Not that he did himself many favors either. But he's like, you know, I made rice the first time and I failed. I cannot look stupid on this challenge. I just can't do it. So what we have here is an Ohio Wotu. And what was I saying about not looking stupid? Okay, this is my Ohio Wotu. And we have a Cincinnati Burblanc. There's no pun there. Just add it since natty to it. Don't really know what I'm doing anymore So then let's see Gabe serves his plum slow smoked and glazed and pat him is like, what did you think when you found out where you were working I had vegetables. I mean, did you basically feel like a gal?

Tell us the truth and Gabe's like, well, you know, I thought everyone's going to sure be showing their cards today, guys. Which didn't really mean anything, but I'm saying it is someone who actually smoked and kept their fruits infuriated to get. Beautifully intact. I felt like it was a level playing field and that playing field was filled with beautifully intact plums. So the guy, the, the chef's walk away and Amar's like, okay, they're on. Okay, excuse me. And he licks the plate. Amar, I can't believe you're licking the plate.

And when did you find that bone? How did you find a bone in a plum? Amar, you can put the bone down Amar, put it down. Why is Amar holding a jar of peanut better? Why is Amar holding a jar of peanut butter? And Gail's like, the plum had so much integrity. I don't know, I don't know, the plum had so much integrity. It was almost as if it were, I don't know, beautifully intact. It's a beautifully intact plum, it's so much integrity.

My Richard is like, it's just so weird. Fruit with gravy? And I was like, oh, that's what these challenges do. It's amazing. It is amazing. I'll tell you who has integrity. My dear friend, Lina Wei, also an Emmy winner. You know, as my good friend, Angela Merkel would say.

The price is just too hot to entay and mushy. It's amazing how something can be chewy and mushy at the same time. Does anyone want to take a stab at this one? She's sitting right here. It'll be great. Me? Good job, Gale. So next up are Shota and Chris. Chris did a seared scallop with a peach butter and smoked pear and plums and grapes. At Pickled, did he do the Pickled grapes? I think so.

I think so. Shota did a cooled salmon with sour apple sauce and plum salad. And someone's, oh Tom's like, well, they both used fruit beautifully. I'm like, uh, certain suns used to grease, but, you know, I'm just gonna take what I can get. I can't help but feel like there's no grapes on here that have beautiful integrity and are delightfully intact. So Richard Blades is like,

is this the same Chris? Is this the same Chris that we tasted last week? This is very good. And shut shut Richard. And then they wanted to love Showtos, but the fish was too dry. And more like, I did love the crumbles and the fruits. Did they have integrity though?

Hahaha. So Portland's not is like, you know, a lot of people would be like, oh, you just made, you just made oysters with three hours. But guess what? I made three flavor pops. Yeah. So he serves oysters with apples, peaches, and plums. And then James serves up.

His bad thing is my favorite Padmatch. He goes, wow. Wow, these oysters are beautifully intact. I'm like when Padmatch says things where you're like, does she hate me or? Wow. Wow, three oysters, wow. How long did it take you to do that?

Three minutes, you idiot. So Jamie serves next and she did a pepper, pear and pole tan. I don't know what a pole tan is. Thanks, auto correct. Polenta. Oh, polenta, thank you. The pole tan. Polenta. Oh, polenta, thank you. Politan.

Politan. So, Gail's like, Gabriel's oysters were just very enchanting to me. I just, they were beautifully presented and they're just ice cold. Well, let's be honest. I mean, Clash and Colors are enchanting to you too, Gail. Oysters are enchanting to you too gal. Oysters are enchanting. So they really love the glazed peaches and Gail did not like Jamie's food. She's like she made dated food and the grits. Those were really way they down with cheese.

Alright hypocrisy. Hey ding dong hypocrisy is at the door G Gal, will you get it? Gal, I really appreciate you talking about how Jamie's food is dated while you're wearing a sweatshirt from Benaton and their 1993 collection idiot. So next up for Byron and Sarah and Sarah's like I did a grill trip with Kinglaw apples plums and peaches with roasted pump sesame oil peanut butter and of course yogurt Get out of my face What's her obsession with yogurt? I don't know where she even finds it like how did she get yogurt on the zordard?

Well, they have other ingredients. They just couldn't use vegetables, right? So I know, but I just feel like, I feel like they didn't provide yogurt. I'm just gonna say it right now. They did not provide yogurt, and she's still somehow found yogurt. She's just one of the people that like

carries things in her bag, you know, in case you need them. And then Byron made a field pasta with tarragon, apples, and pears, and apple and pino-noir reduction. And so they say that Sarah has too many sauces in her dish and curious like, mine is so deal heavy. I got all the deal. Okay, and let me tell you what the deal is. I'm someone who made a cheesecake in the snow, right?

If you all talk about a big deal, that's the one. And Dale is like, well, this fresh-made pasta, I mean, kudos to that. And Amar calls it a deconstructed cheese plate, which he loved. So then is Kiki. We go to Kiki, and she's nervous, or chicken wings are leaked. And her oil isn't at temperature because it's

getting cold outside. And she's like, what if it's not hot enough to cook it? Oh my god, but you know what? I took it out knowing that it's just gonna sit there. So it's surely it will continue to cook not being in hot oil. Let me just keep cooking. I'm a little concerned that my oil isn't hot enough.

So I'm gonna pull my chicken out early. Yeah. I'm just gonna pull it out early because I'm having trouble getting the oil to temperature. So I think the last time it spends in the lukewarm oil the better. This is crazy. And if any cut can probably survive, you know, like an accidental, not over cooking, but like, you know, if it's at temp when you, if it's at where it's supposed to be when

you pull it out and if it keeps on cooking if any cut of a chicken can survive it's probably the wings the wings will probably be okay oh God and then final words of warning she's like oh God guys this might be a really good one just saying it's gonna be a good day over here. I just tapped my wing and it has that lovely, jello consistency. Listen, they love smoked yogurt. They're gonna love the texture of this. What we have today is some yogurt textured chicken.

So Nelson is serving as well with her and Padma goes, hello and Kiki serves her apple, So Nelson is serving as well with her and Padma goes, Hello. And Kiki serves her April, her April, glazed, fired chicken, Palenta. And he serves, Nelson serves Bells, seriously, my typing. I need to like really work out my fingers.

So he does a serious scallop with apple Bernays. Yeah. And Padma goes, is there Rose Mary in your dish, which is hilarious because like, there's obviously rosemary. If you taste rosemary, it's obviously rosemary, but I just love when she sets them up for a trap. Hey, stupid. This is scallop. Did you serve it with lamb seasoning? It's a trick question. So Carrie Kerry's like, um, guys, I'm here's the deal. I think that the fried chicken was undercooked and I'm like, raw, it's raw.

It is raw. You have a small tabletop fire. You know, why would you use that? This is risky. It's all raw, it's raw. I mean, it's like a mixologist, just cook, just dinner. I mean, there's no skill involved whatsoever. No skill, no art, no capabilities.

It's ridiculous. So Richard loves the peach and parsley. Who thinks that's a really great idea? But with Nelson's, Kerry says that they just get herbs on top of herbs, on top of herbs, on top of herbs, on top of herbs. Oh of herbs on top of herbs on top of herbs. Oh, just like Gals Kool-Aats pattern on pattern on pattern and yet somehow it's still flat. So Gregory's like, you know, the scallop wants out of that space.

I love how that's worded. The scallop just wanted out of that herb space. Okay, get it out. So now comes Maria and Dawn. And Dawn, she's made a caramelized apple of risotto with herbs and duck. And then Maria is like, well, since you took away my chilies, she made her...

I'm like, I'm blonde. I can't say that. I'm blonde. So Maria is say that. I'm blonde. So Maria is so funny. If she was a character in a show, like she, I would say, wow, that is so consistently written. Like every single thing she says,

she's like, my pulse, it's like I'm playing the maracas. Like are you just pretending to be like Latin? Like, I feel like, what is going on? Because it's like every single thing she says your pulses like playing the Baraka's really come on I feel like she's like on like a CBS sitcom. She's like the bartender at the place where the gang hangs out Right like hey Marie, I'll have the usual. Oh the usual. What's that stupidity, huh? Okay In class yeah, so Don did a caramelized apple risotto. Did you already say this?

Oh yeah. I think you did. So then Greg Tasey and he loves Maria's food. She creates very soulful food. And Padma loved Dawn's apple and olive puree. She's like, this is so luscious. And then Richard is like, all of oil, apple, puree.

That is something I never knew about. That's because you're an idiot. Remember when you ordered all that food at our fake diner? Stupid face. Well, I guess we're gonna have to drive back to judges table. Bye, poor people. Bye. I'll be taking my private plane an hour west You'll all be walking we're taking the beamers by pours

Hey, Angela, guess what I had some beautifully intact plums and an apple and olive oil puree anyway You can tell that to the European Union. Bye So in the stew room they're talking about what the hardest part was and they're like, um, the terrain, duh, like it was a mountain. So that was hard. Hello chefs, we'd like to see stupid, stupid, stupid, less stupid, less stupid, and less stupid. Okay.

With the six unfamous people, please follow me into a room with me and some moderately famous people. In descending order of fame, me, Tom, Kerry, and then the rest, cameraman. Notice I didn't say gal. Thank you sound person. I would like lady who puts on the microphone to your face. I would like to thank former New York Times book editor Michiko Kakutani for handling the good night. So they take in Kiki Gabriel Chris Gabe Nelson and Avasar.

Avasar was like, oh shit, did you read my notes or what? Something get in there. Tom was like, well, the challenge was very straightforward. Some of you did amazing work. Some of you did lots of amazing work. That is my Tom Jaina monologue for the beginning of this challenge. You're talking about it. You know what?

It was like the perfect bridge between Summer and Fall, and I have to say that Amar, you know, Amar, Gabe, your dish was so good that Amar literally liked his plate, he just picked up the plate, and licked it, it was like, is that Amar? Where is that gal over there? Did I do that right, Pupma?

Did I do that? It's good enough, you got the spirit of it. Okay. So Gabriel, Chris and Gabe stay here. The rest of you get ready to pack your idiots. All right, you had our favorite dishes. Congratulations Gabe, however, did you come up with your dish?

And he's like, I really wanted to showcase a centerpiece and incorporate the rest into my brilliant sauces from Mexico, which I'm going to change the face of Mexican food forever. Thank you very much. Basically, when the goal is a beautifully intact plum, you just think, how can I make sure this plum has integrity? Well, I have to say something, Gabe, it was another complex Gabe sauce that I need to eat again. Eat again. What are you talking about? It's dripping from your mouth right

now, Gail. Put the jar away. So Portland's not. It's like, um, I approach, approach fruits in different ways. Okay. It's like, well, that approach, approach fruits in different ways. Okay. It's like, well, that was a brave thing to bring us just three oysters. Thank God, Gail had some Ben and Jerry's in her purse. She almost ate her arm off. You know, I haven't seen anyone do something as brave as that as the time when Gail tried to mix chevron with polka dots.

Oh, so Chris, she's like, well, it's much better to be here, isn't it, Chris? And he's like, yeah, I just feel like I'm always in the woods. That's great, caveman. Okay, let's move on. The winner of this challenge is the man who presented something that was beautifully intact and full of integrity, just like the comedy of my dear friend Ali Bang. Congratulations, Gabe. Actually, it was almost like...

I only used to carry such that. Yeah, and he's like, the vision I had for this dish came to life. I just need to speak to the soul of Mexican cuisine and really elevate people's ideas of Mexican cuisine. Please don't say that. I hate when people say that. Like what that is delicious?

Like does anybody have a bad opinion of Mexican food? You just want to charge more. Let's say it. Okay. You want to charge me more, sir. Also the idea of quote unquote, elevating Mexican cuisine, like, hot Mexican cuisine is not a new, fresh idea. Like we've, like, we've, we've, Hoat, Maxine, Kuzine is not a new fresh idea. Like, we've, like, we've, we've, we've had the,

like, we have and love the, like, the high end Mexican culinary experience, totally welcoming it, but he's acting as if he was the first one to come up with this idea. It's like, it's, it's been happening for about 20 years, 20 or 30 years, at least, if not long ago. And guess where it's been going on forever in Mexico. And Mexico, that's all I said at least, because I'm being a totally American centric

view of it. Yeah, guess where high end Mexican food has always been in Mexico. Okay. They are fancy restaurants in Mexico, believe it or not. Yeah, they're not all chilies. Okay. So Padma is like, all right. Now bring out the three gales. Okay.

One of you will be going to Chico's today. Let's go after him, judges. Ah, the shower. Do you think he used enough fruit in your dish? And again, there's only one right answer. And you'll probably get it wrong. And he's like, well, I actually used a lot of fruit. Wrong, wrong.

Go to the back yeah I'm most of like we couldn't taste anything and Padma says all I tasted was bacon and uncooked rice cakey and cakey and you know she got her roasted apple down and Tom's like uh cakey you uh gave us raw chicken so I just raw that is because yes, yes, but that's yes, yes, it was raw it was raw But I could have sworn raw raw But I mean I still raw still raw still raw right now, but the fire I eat it I'm alive and it's raw okay you have a stomach like a goat what can I tell you it was raw listen here's my recommendation when you're in this two room it's gonna be a while so maybe you might want to fire up

raw by Eddie Murphy and just enjoy it for a few hours. Still defensive, but also very funny. So try it out. Very offensive, but also accurate to your chicken. Wrong. Every single piece was undercut and she goes, well, I would never intend to do that. He's like, I'm not accusing you of attempted murder. I'm just saying the chicken was undercut.

Okay. The goodness is that your chicken has a lot in common with trends in gay porn. Everything's raw. Yep, and basically pulled out too fast. So, there you go. I kick his like, well, my heart sinks, you know, because I did not intend to cook any raw chicken. And just your heart sinks. I hope not into a vat of cold oil.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, make sure you chicken wings sink next time. End of some hot piping oil, Stephen. Let this sink in. Chicken needs to be cooked. So Padma moves to Nelson next. And she goes, Nelson, what was this like for you? Do we need to catch your breath still? Looks like you've been panting ever since we saw you with the orchard. Please explain to us the dish that Shinsplant's built.

You never answered my question, was there Rose Mary in there? And he's like, well, I never cooked with fruit. Duh, so I called it. He's like, I just, you know, I wanted to be bold on the sauces and delicate with everything else. Huh? Well, there wasn't anything delicate about that dish. It was all pretty ham-fisted, sort of like a mixologist trying to explain his career choices just clunky and awkward. Not recommended.

Dedicate that was basically gale doing a time-stab. Move on. Gale's like that Bernace was just so heavy and so cheesy you lost the integrity of the fruit. And Carri's like, I didn't see your vision. I was eating this thing to myself. Was this supposed to be baked in a hole in the ground or something? Because I mean, who can really pull that off? Probably only a very, very skilled chef. And Nelson's like, well, you know what? I just, I didn't cook my own food today. We want you to cook your own food. You're very talented All of you now listen. I'm talking to the top three not you bottom three poor people. You're all terrible Sorry, I should have turned the other way. You're also talented. All right back to you bottom three

Listen, you're all very talented Layers of gelato and we have three layers of losers right here And they make the perfect flavor of get out of my face Gelat know am I right? Hi, Sam Pellegrino family of sparkling waters. I want to introduce you to the talenty family of layers Okay, one thing that you can bond over is that these three people are terrible I don't even know what I'm saying anymore. Someone please knock me out Well all three of these chefs made food they could send them home And the Tom's like I mean Rob Rice. That's pretty basic. Come on Rob Rice. Come on

Come on, yeah, they can all be sent home to their very very poor Huts that are by rivers somewhere. I'm sure sent home to their very, very poor huts that are byrivers somewhere, I'm sure. Well, I don't think that his concept was very good either. And carries like, well, Avastar had a terrible dish, but I'd still have to go with Nelson. And Padden was like, yeah, I couldn't eat that. I mean, the rosemary, it had a chemically aftertaste. It was just horrible. And Tom goes, well, you know, that didn't bother me as much as the raw fruit and heavy Parmesan and Creme fresh well gale certainly ate it up. I'll tell you that's for sure. Bless her heart Nelson or Avasar. I mean did they make his big a mistake is Kiki with raw chicken

Let me just say that again raw chicken me hold on one second hi Angela yeah yeah they cook raw chicken I know right okay bye and gale's like yeah it's pretty rare when every single person gets raw meat let alone chicken I mean it's too bad Nili wasn't here for it, am I right? So then Melissa gives the most backhanded compliment because, well, I mean, if she had cooked her chicken, it would have been a palatable dish. I like that, Melissa. Good job. Yeah, because Carrie says, you know, all the other parts of the dish were at least good. And she goes like, I think we have an answer.

Padma is like, get him out here. All right, no chefs, you have to embrace this challenge. And if we give you a challenge and we say fruit, cook something with fruit, you have to embrace it. We say something like, make sure your chicken doesn't kill us. You have to embrace that challenge. So you know, you can cook what you want, but only in the finale.

You first have to get there. And when I say you have to get there, I mean, you have to embrace that challenge. So you know, you can cook what you want, but only in the finale, and first you have to get there. And when I say you have to get there, I mean, you have to literally survive there and not get Salmanella. Padma? There has to be somebody to judge you to let you win. So please don't try and murder us again. Thanks, Padma.

Kiki, please pack your Salmanella and go stupid. I'm undercooked chicken. You can't get past it, right? Like, mixology does not work. And Kiki is really cute about it. She's like, you know, I've never in my life served raw chicken. So of course, I end up serving it to 10 Top Chef Chaches. Of great.

On TV. Sounds great. We're podcasters. We're two evil podcasters. You can just like make fun of her about it for the rest of the city, Bob. Yeah, it's she bad, because I was reading for Keke.

I liked Keke, I was so sad, but I could tell, I could tell she didn't, she was going off the path this episode. She just, her, she looked like, you can just sometimes see it on these shows where someone just gets to into their head. And you know, I think that after she messed up Fufu, I was like she's good. That's gonna that's gonna mess with there a lot Yeah, um, so we'll see you know, she's gonna get to go to here

Gonna still get to go to last chance kitchen. So no, no, and then did you hear about that? Did you hear Padma's Tease of last last chance kitchen Yes, I started cracking up you do it last chance kitchen. Yes, I started cracking up. You do it. Tonight, Kiki lands in last chance kitchen. Her undercooked chicken had the judges crying, foul. But can she enter a streak of bad clock? Wrote this. My dear friend, Ali Wong would not approve.

Can she end her stream of bad clock? Hold on, let me call my dear friend David Chang. Hi David, yeah, they made me say bad clock. Oh, you think that's funny? I do too. Bye. Oh, hold on, the other line is ringing. Fatime here, thanks for calling me back. Oh, you did, you found out.
