Let's watch everybody get in the morning.
Starting point is 00:05:27 It's amazing. Buddha makes his bed by using a mold shaped as a bed that he's brought with him. He didn't actually sleep in a bed. He slept in an A-Gar solution that was solidified in a mold to look like a bed. I'd like to think Xantham gum for getting Buddha very good my stress Buddha loves Molds Wow, that's his thing this year last year his thing was all about having very literal
Starting point is 00:05:54 Plates of food and this year it's all about molds mold molds and more molds and you know I love my Buddha, but if I got served a dish shaped like hands holding each other or then a banana the next week, I would say, fuck off with your molds. I can't believe the chefs haven't started calling them out for using so many molds. It's just at this point it's cheap. It's cheap. I feel like it's cheap. It's annoying.
Starting point is 00:06:19 By the way, so last week he made his Benoffi pie. And guess what? When Rod and I were in Toronto guess what we ate Benoffie pie we showed it but it was in the shape of a pie wedge So I was like I was so impressed that the restaurant had a pie wedge mold. I was like wow. I didn't think that happens I know I was like I would have preferred a banana mold cuz like how am I supposed to know what this is? I know. I was like, I would have preferred a banana mold. It's like, how am I supposed to know what this is? This feels a little on the nose. I mean, it's a wedge of pie, shaped like a wedge of pie. I don't know how I feel about that.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Yeah, super weird. But I have to say, it was delicious. It was good. The food there is delicious. And I guess the Americans stole that because, you know, that's how we do things. And we changed it to banana cream pies, like kind of our version, bonafi pie or bonafi pie, whatever you call it, wins, bonafi of the vanities, okay. That shit wins, that is way better than ours. I was like, real bananas, this is nuts.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I'm waiting for a new real house, so I've named Bonanafi. Bonanafi. Hi, my name is Bonanafee Jenkins. I'm from Tennessee, and my husband owns the largest roller coaster south of the Mason Dixon line. I may be named after a banana, but I will never peel out of a fight. I love it. So anyway, the chefs are now gathering in the garden at their hotel just to sit there and talk. And Amara is like, how crazy was that challenge, right? Like,
Starting point is 00:07:54 that was almost as crazy as the time I went to Morocco. And I was there in Morocco. What a crazy time being in Morocco. Wow. And I'm like, the picnic, I love the picnic. How I should think I feel about it. He's like, I did the worst dish. They hated it. They really did. I have an idea in my head and then it turns out the opposite of that and then being pounded by the judges like I'm in a sling and downtown belated for 38 a.m. on a
Starting point is 00:08:18 Wednesday. At least give me some poppers, guys. You know what I'm saying? I didn't know if I should be angry angry or if I should have ejaculate. It was a mix of emotions. And Sarah's like, well, you can win and then the very next time you go home or you can be on the bottom.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And then to get founded like Chris and Teddy are some bleeding out of your nose. You know what I'm saying? I wasn't gonna go there, but God, I've got a quilt company for you. I'll tell you that much. So now they get into their BMWs and Sarah's feeling good about today.
Starting point is 00:08:49 She's like, I think it's gonna be tits out today. So, can I just say, I'm loved the breakfast section because Sarah has a Danish and a giant croissant and that is why she used my girl. Okay, she doesn't like to give a fuck and then the car, she's like, tits out and that is why she's my girl. Okay, she doesn't might give a fuck and then the car She's like, tits out and she literally has her tits out. She's just feeding in the car. Yeah, just bumping
Starting point is 00:09:12 So now we arrive at the quickfire and Padma is standing next to an enormous like cell phone kind of thing as a bunch of emojis on it and Next to her, please welcome chef Gagan and Ann. Gagan and and Gagan and and Gagan and and Gagan and I think it's Gagan and I know I was going to do this on the I was like, been it's not because I know it's not good gone and on. It's done. No, I think it's got chef, Gagan, I think it's chef,
Starting point is 00:09:39 Gagan, but then some people say, Guggen, and some people say, Gugand. So I don't think, I think everybody was like, you know, we'll just kind of roll with it. Yeah. I will say the chef was dressed like 20 different, what's the director's name? Trying to think of the,
Starting point is 00:10:01 the nightmare before Christmas guy was his name. He was dressed like 20 Tim Burton movies in one person. Yes. So he attacked the cause. He's like a wacky chef. He's like, I'm crazy. Look at all the crazy things I'm about to do for you. Yes.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It was like a little Alton Brownish, like in around 2003, you know? It's got like a little Paddington bear kind of outfit, but also yeah Then the same is it is patting to you. Yeah, sort of and I was traumatized because I was on the game show one time About emojis and I couldn't guess anything. I was fucking moron. So I see these emojis and I My butthole clenched and I just started crying crying so it took me a minute to come back in here. I'm sorry. Well, apparently he's like an enormous amazing super famous chef, but I haven't actually seen Chef's table and I have a blind spot to him
Starting point is 00:10:55 so I didn't know who he was. So Padman's like, I think some of you may recognize the chef standing next to me. Food rebel and future my friend Mr. Gaganonon! Hi, Gagan! Chefs, are you ready to express yourselves in pyjama pants like Gagan does? Love the pyjama pants, geez. Gail's worn that as a ballgum before, just warning you, in case you're wearing the same thing that he shows up.
Starting point is 00:11:24 And he's like, years ago, I was getting my menu ready on an iPad. And I was like, oh my God, he's already a rebel sitting there with his iPad, just sitting with his Apple pencil like, how can I change the world of food today? Shump, shump, double finger backspace. Yes, I was doing it on my iPad and suggested a emoji came up and I thought, let me get to a global language of emoji that will express emotions of my dish. And that's how I came up with the menu of emojis. And already I'm just sort of laughing because I love one chef's do this. Like, we need food to be universal for everyone speak to a universal language
Starting point is 00:12:05 I'm like well how many people can afford to eat at your restaurant because I would like to know that I'd like to know what the prices are at this restaurant We already know how to do universal food. It's called McDonald's, okay? Like you're not teaching us anything. This is like the zoo lander of chefs Okay, like you to see this older guy sitting there like, I'm so gutted. The agents think I don't have it? Ah, well let's see if I still have it, huh? Has anyone else made a menu of emojis?
Starting point is 00:12:36 Oh, guess what, I'm making a menu based off TikTok dances. That's what I'm doing. I just, it always makes me think of David Chang and one of his shows, one that was on Hulu. He, I, and I know I brought this up before, but it still always strikes me, that he had a whole episode talking about the rise of postmates and new breeds and, uh, and apps like that, how they are, uh, hurting restaurants because the people who were formerly hired to be couriers or whatever they are being displaced by postmates and now there's automation and that's like the
Starting point is 00:13:11 common man is being hurt by postmates postmates is ruining the common man unlike sir have you seen the prices in your restaurant and you're going to complain to me about their common man come on now seriously postmates postmates. Postmates is the common man. That is the common. You guys are fucking ridiculous. We went out the other night, I mean, going anywhere even decent is ridiculous. We went to a decent place the other night.
Starting point is 00:13:34 That food was like $40 in on tray. Are you fucking kidding me? For a piece of trout without even salt on it. And that's like your thing. You guys are like, oh wow, look, it's just tasty innards of the trout. No, I want fucking salt and lemon and that's like your thing you guys are like oh wow look it's just tasty innards of the trout no I want fucking salt and lemon on that sit if I wanted to just eat a fucking trout with nothing on it out of gone fishing you fucks put something on it for like $40 idiot and here's your banana
Starting point is 00:13:57 panofi pie for 20 something fuck off delicious panofi pie though but that being said though like there's better a bit and I should have given me a goddamn blowjob for that price, okay Sorry that mold is still in production But yeah, no like chefs have like a hard on the old your right already on that The chefs have a hard on though when it comes to like trying to be like yeah, we're just like the common man but then they like have trying to be like, yeah, we're just like the common man. But then they like have, they preside over some of the most elite, rarefied spaces.
Starting point is 00:14:31 So anyway, they're the ones who are like, guys, you know what, this is what kills me by California cuisine, like living in California so long. California cuisine is like, we're simple man, we're like breasted California. If you can grow it, you can plate it. And that's like literally it. If you can't grow it, you can't plate it. And I'm like, wow. So thanks for that carrot salad for $47. You fox. This is literally just fucking vegetables with
Starting point is 00:14:57 nothing like a little tiny bit of balsamic vinegar at it. Like you guys are not even making an effort, you know Anyway chefs for your quick fire challenge today You'll each choose one of these emojis and make a dish that's inspired by it get excited Unfortunately, there's no emoji for moss and weeds sorry Sarah Sorry that we don't have a crusty blanket emoji, Sarah. But so, Victoria is excited because finally, she can find a way to do African food.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And she's like, I can just as long as they get fire, or a heart, or a son. Like, I'll make anything in African food. And Gagan is like, well, I want you to think about the dish and the emotion of the emoji, because the word emoji comes from the word emotion. It's like, wow, thanks. So Omar is like, that banana is looking at me.
Starting point is 00:15:55 So it's funny. And it's also wearing pajamas, which is weird. So then Gabbard chooses the flame. So Victor basically, she gets to the cell phone and all the emojis that she wants are done, but they're still like, not done, but they're taken. But there's still plenty of emojis there, but she just settles on the sushi emoji.
Starting point is 00:16:16 She's like, well, I don't know about sushi. It's not my thing, but I take it. I'm like, why did you do sushi emoji? Extremely weird. There was still a sad face, a unicorn, a rainbow, a gross face, like a grossed out face, a devil and pancakes. And you chose sushi. Panky. You don't know much about sushi. I was like, she's gone. I was like, this is the episode where the word Victoria's gone. And Padma, when she says, okay, Tom starts now and everyone
Starting point is 00:16:43 starts charging the emoji think she runs out of the way like she's standing in front of the croissant table in Gales house. I mean I've never seen Padma just split like that. Sorry I just found out Alibong is having a premiere in 10 seconds gotta go. So Sarah's like, well I got sun so I'm serving all the nightshades. And Omar says he grew up eating plantains, so he's going to do that. Because he was born in the Dominic Republic. And he tells that this is a Mara story. We don't get much, we don't get much of a Mara story.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I think they, unless that's the story. Omar just kind of, I feel like Omar's back story is just worn on his face. It's like a lot of forties and like just fun times at barbecues is what he looks like to me. So Louis gets back story. He was born in the Dominican Republic. He grew up poor and his grandfather used to give him sugar water and tell him this is going to make you sleep better. And that's why you eat so many sweets. And I'm telling you, this is food addiction. This is where it starts.
Starting point is 00:17:47 And it all goes back for fucking grandparents. Who we all remember so lovingly, don't we? I mean, I remember mine. Those fuckers, I saw a documentary the other day on Netflix where parents are put Coca-Cola into the baby bottles of their kids. And that's normal. It's like 80% of people do that.
Starting point is 00:18:08 No wonder I'm blaming my, I'm blaming my weight issues literally on a Mars gram father right now. And I need to stop projecting. But I got furious. I like furious. I liked it. So Nicole, Nicole chose the disguise emoji.
Starting point is 00:18:22 So she's gonna do a play on meat and rice by making them, she's gonna do a play on meat and rice by making them. She's gonna disguise the meat and rice in a meatball, which doesn't seem like much of a surprise, but she is gonna cover it in like stuff. And then Dale, oh god, I can't stand Dale. So Dale has the heart emoji, and he's gonna cook something for his mom. So you know he's an asshole, right?
Starting point is 00:18:43 Because we already know he's an asshole, but like one of the greatest signs of someone being an asshole is they talk a lot about their mom. You know, that way it's like a compensation. It's like they're armor. Like you can't come for them because they love their mom. They love their mom, a man.
Starting point is 00:18:59 And he's like, well, they're making eggplant jokes with each other, I guess, because Nicole's like, Dale, are're making eggplant jokes with each other, I guess, because Nicole's like, Dale, are you an eggplant guy? And he's like, huh, you know, I've done a few out there. He's like, eggplant? She goes, eggplant, she goes, I'm more of a medium zucchini. Ha, but I've got the heart emoji,
Starting point is 00:19:18 and my mom makes the best chicken noodle soup. For this one's for you, mom. This one's for you. This one's for you. Comes from the heart. Yeah. So Ali has a clover, so he's gonna make a salad. And Charbell has a... For some reason, come on.
Starting point is 00:19:33 These people. Now then, then again, they have literally 30 minutes. I don't know how they're gonna make anything. I think these challenges run fair. You need at least an hour. For some reason, I chuckled when Charbell says, I have a duck, so I'm making a duck. No, like he just, the idea of like Charbell is so serious. Like, I don't think we've ever seen him smile this entire season. I just imagine him going for a duck emoji. Like, the idea of
Starting point is 00:19:58 this very serious person going for one of the goofyest birds that's out there. I mean, let's be honest. A duck is a very goofy bird, and that's like, what do you, like I thought he'd go for a serious emoji, like the person crying, or was there a emoji of just a sad moon or something, you know? I have so many emojis. My favorite one is the hug one. Hunges, it's got little hands like this, it's like, it's huge, which is a little weird. I love that, the hugs one, andungus, one that's got little hands like this. Hands on the heavens cheeks, which is a little weird.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I love that. The hugs one. And then recently I realized I haven't been giving enough love to the world because the hugs was no longer on my most used. And I was like, wow, I have not hugged in a long time. So I made sure to get that right back on there. I feel better. I feel like I've given more to the world now that my hug emojis back. I like the embarrassed emoji with just like the eyes and the mouth that just is just like Oh, you know, I forgot to tell you so you remember this is a few weeks ago sorry listeners just join me on this I know what this is a few weeks ago. I was talking about there's an emoji with something coming out of the side of the
Starting point is 00:21:02 emojis head it was like I know is that's growing on the top of the head. It's like growing out of it. I didn't know what the fuck it was. I was like, what is the growth coming out of your head? It's like a Pinocchio, but your head grows a growth. Like, what is it? And no one could tell me what it is. I asked all the audience to tell me no one knew what the fuck I was talking about.
Starting point is 00:21:21 So then finally I saw then and I was like, this, this one here. And he's like, that's the salute of my team. The hand saluting. I like it. It just, you know, like it just shows you have a different impression in the world. Yet you look at things, you have a different perspective. One person sees a salute, another person sees a growth.
Starting point is 00:21:41 It could have been like it, someone sees an explosion of a head, you know? I'm even more linear, I, you know, I need more linear Don't I don't know I need thicker lines, okay? It's increased your line thickness Jesus So anyway, Victoria is making rice with a poached scallops and She's basically it's not good. I'm cooking but like a machine without inspiration. It's not enough I'm like Victoria why did machine without inspiration. It's not enough. I'm like, Hey, Tora, why did you take the sushi's emoji? Dude, at least follow the inspiration of the emoji. It's raw fish and rice and you're making

So then Buddha's opening up a coke and he's like, all I feel like taking an emoji that already relates to food puts you in a box. So I'm going to do something that represents snow. Because when I see the freezing face, unlike when would you feel it? When you're in a super cold, of course. Wow.
Starting point is 00:24:41 The revelations coming out of Buddha, I mean, the way that he connected feeling cold to being some place that's cold, wow. Bluemine. Yeah. And then he's standing next to Sarah and he's like, he's like chopping into this coconut. And he's like, sorry if I'm splattering you. And Sarah's like, I said the same thing to Nicole the whole way here. And then Buddha's like, well, I'm gonna resent snow. I'm not gonna resent snow. Hold on, let me go back to it. Buddha's like, I just started today, I will resent snow.
Starting point is 00:25:14 He just doesn't snow deeply. Not that to do with the show, I just wanted to make and not tell everyone today that this is the weather I just like the most. He's gonna represent snow. And he's bought a mold of a skull. And he's gonna make a white chocolate snow survey. Wow, another mold.
Starting point is 00:25:34 You're a really... No, it's a mold. Breaking the mold with the molds. It's really mold forward mold for you. He's leaning into the molds. The goat breeze making something that's going to be super spicy. Because when he was three, he was playing around
Starting point is 00:25:51 an electric kettle and it fell over. And his three legs were burned to the point where his tendons were showing. I don't know. I was like, just tell me the word. I don't need to tell. I know you're also making Mexican soup. Of course, you can make something spicy, you know.
Starting point is 00:26:06 But he's explaining why he specifically picked the fireness because of that trauma. And he's like, yeah, I was playing by the electric stove and then I got my legs burnt. And that makes me who I am now. Because fire touched me and now I control the fire. I was like, you go fucking Targaryen. I know. I can. I can get every Targaryen, go Barry. House of the Dragon.
Starting point is 00:26:27 And also had that self-serious statement that was very house of the Dragon. And I was like, I could drive the fire. So, Mars working with Go True Barrymore. Go True Barrymore film from the 80s. Slash reboot on Peacock. And Buddha is being quirky, because he's putting his coconut sorbet into the mold with the skull on it and he goes I can't it represents the freezing to death element Oh, that's that's personally what I like look for and when I have my deserts is
Starting point is 00:26:58 coming face to face with my own mortality should I Decide to get lost in a winter squal and How did I decide to get lost in a winter squal? And by the way, Amar is doing a butterscotch miso with sweet and sour salty flavors with stilton cheese, just like blue cheese. And Nicole's like, what? And he's like, yeah, me and stilton go way back. Like, wow.
Starting point is 00:27:19 So, Gagon and Padma come back. And Padma's like, one minute left, dumb, dumb. So they're plating like crazy. And Victoria knows hers isn't good, but anyways. Times up, you tens up, you tensils down, please. Hands up, you tensils down. Alright, Buddha, why don't you come up here first? So Buddha comes up with his thing and goes, I call it freezing myself to death.
Starting point is 00:27:50 You've got frozen coconut water and coconut sorbet and Padma gives her famous Freezing myself to death. Wow, that's just like the time that Galik got trapped inside a good humor machine They have machines like that. I meant I meant truck anyway So there's a puree under the skull that is raspberry and I wrote dancing, but I know it's not like Ted dance No, I don't know what I'm like dancing like dance on Dan Dancing, which I don't know what that is but it was something. Yeah. Ted dancin' So it's Raspberry and little purey of Ted dancin' yeah and Gagon's like I like how you thought about emotion. What emotion? There's it's a it's a it's a dead skull. There's not an emotion there. It's a skull. It's literally
Starting point is 00:28:41 The final season of Game of Thrones north of the wall in a bowl as dessert. Cold is not an emotion, it's a personality type. No. So next is Nicole with a disguised emoji and she's serving a crispy meatball with a calm, the calm depth stained with pendant leaf. Pam, I guess, hmm, I like the crunch. It's exciting.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Sort of like Gail's hair every day. Crunchy. So Gagand's like, oh, spicy, but it's good. And then Ali's maxed and he's like, I chose the green leaf emoji. And Gagand goes, that's the four leaf clover. It's a four leaf lover.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Yeah. Or if you're a Gail, it's pounds of leprechaun cereal for a And I guess it could mean different things to different people Raise your hand if you know what a forleaf clover is Everyone, oh sorry not a Lee, oh wow So Dale's like, um, I think that emoji might be different in the Middle East And all these like, well anyway, I made a salad with a mix of herbs and cucumber gaspacho.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And I've had them and was like, mmm, it's delicious. Exactly. That was for you, Victoria, so you can know what I'm saying. So now comes Tom. Tom had the crown emoji, so he's serving a creamy sourcrout with smoked trout and amaranth puffs and Pamela goes hmm Tom What emoji did you choose did you choose the leather sling emoji because I'm not sure we have that in the states yet I'm sorry. Did you get the ball gag emoji? What's going on here Tom? And Tom's like bad for was young we had a king day
Starting point is 00:30:25 if our dad would take us fishing and we found out it was Queen's day so we gave my mom a break while my brother was better than me at everything and so I did this and she's like I don't really know what the fuck you're talking about but this is super flavorful tastes like a popper it's like don't go great story by the way if you're looking to publish it, I definitely know some novelists. Because I know people. Bye. So then, Victoire, I'm patterned. I was like, wow, Victoire. What emoji did you have? Is there a sad scallop emoji on there? I don't think I've ever seen a scallop frown before, anyone.
Starting point is 00:31:04 Is this the emoji for accidentally cook the sushi? I don't know, it's a very specific one. And she's like sushi. I made fish and rice and I poached the scallops. And she's like, um, is there coconut? That's my way of saying, why is the sushi cooked? Sorry, Victoria, This makes no sense. Okay, moving on.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Sarah, what was it like discovering the concept of emojis? You don't have a phone, correct? Hahaha. Sarah, could you please not breastfeed during judging? I really don't mind it at work in general, but like we're trying to eat here. She's like, how are I supposed to do all right Sarah has your emoji been to Paris? No. Oh, that would be bad.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I chose the sun today and it's me. I made for you my shades burnt eggplant pure gold bar squash and green zucchini. And she says, hmm. I didn't realize zucchini was in the night shade family. And Sarah's like, I think't realize zucchini was in the nightshade family. And Sarah's like, I think so. Nope, not really.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Hold on, excuse me, I'm getting a phone call from my dear friend, Alibag. Hi, Alie. Oh my god, I love your show beef. It's so good. Anyway, guess what? There's some stupid idiot here who thinks that zucchini is part of the nightshade. I know. Isn't that ridiculous? What should I say to her? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay, I'll say that exact thing.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Hold on. Sarah, you're stupid. Okay, Ali, I said it. Bye. Ali just ordered three 30 ounce bottles of breast milk. So at least you got an order in there, Sarah. Now please go back to being stupid in the back line. Sarah, please go back to putting these zucchini's
Starting point is 00:32:47 on top of light bulbs. She thinks they're lampsheds. So then Dale had the heart emoji and got gone. I was like, oh, these noodles are these handmade? And he's bad. And I was like, hmm, chicken soup in half an hour. That's a touch. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Don't you think? Gagon? I'm asking this to a man who's wearing pajamas on television with socks pulled up to his knees, by the way. I mean, who makes chicken soup in 30 minutes? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. And this is coming from someone who listened to Sarah make a monologue about quilts in her home town.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Come on! And Delta's gulps, and then Gabri got fire and he made red shrimp chile tole with uh good berries. And Patron was like, mm just like the berries, it's good! And of course like oh my god, that guy is just so cute, isn't he? He's just a little cute Gabri. So then Starbell announces that he got the ducca So he made duck because my dad took me duck hunting. Like wow. When I was a child, I played duck hunt on Nintendo because it came with the Mario.
Starting point is 00:33:55 And me and my sister used to play duck hunt. And it meant a lot to me. My sister, her name was Webby. And my brother, Suley and Dewey, we felt connected to ducks. So, then Amara got the banana emoji, so he did a stilton and me so plantain. And Padma, because, wow! A guy can go, I love it. It's all BBB, bluchees bananas bacon I must wish BB knew
Starting point is 00:34:29 worth were here to enjoy it because then we could add to more to it that's interesting I always thought BBB was butt breast back of throat so this is it please be quiet over there Tom alright please stop sexually fetishizing every dish that comes out. That would be great. You know what a gal, BBB means bones, um, bones, break fluid, and bare hearts. Also known as her breakfast. Sorry, that was a little hard to get out. Except so much of Mars BBB in my mouth right now. Love it. So my good friend Gaggy had they do. And he's like, you all cooked with your heart. And she said, well,
Starting point is 00:35:09 a few fell a little Dale. I'm sorry. Short. So who had done who was some of our least favorites? Who has less heart? Who since they all cook with their heart? Who has the worst heart here? Please tell us. Who else the ugly is tired? Who's hard has the least potential here? Please tell us. Who has the ugliest heart? Who's hard has the least potential? So he goes, he's like, well, Ali, it was just too simple.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Also, you didn't know what a for-leave clever was. I mean, how embarrassing for you for crying out that. And he's like, dear, I'm from Asia, and we love our chicken soup. But the heart is a very difficult thing to represent. It's like also the chicken noodle soup sucks. Just say it.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Okay. And Pat, I was like, yeah, 30 minutes doesn't have time to get chicken soup to the level it needs to be in this competition, tell me. But if you're interested in going on to chop, I can put in a word with Ted Allen, if you'd like. Where's we calling Ted Campbell's? Helloest rung of food competition soup. Hey, we hear there's gonna be a local fair
Starting point is 00:36:15 outside of Winnock, Illinois. If you wanna try making chicken soup for them, buy all of me, it's how that is. Just not- And I love this, he says like, this level of the competition like oh my god we really have had some delicious chicken noodle soups on this competition I know and gagan is also picking Victoria he's like oh sushi means uncooked and your scallops were cooked
Starting point is 00:36:39 and you just used fish and rice and that doesn't really complete an emoji. She's like, yeah, whatever. Is it Jesus? I love that, Gagan is so, he's like super, he's so creative, he wears like different types of quarter ois and yet like the sushi emoji must be interpreted super literally, couldn't it just mean like fish and rice? Does it have to be sushi necessarily in Victorus' hands? Well, I think it's just just so it's just so exactly the
Starting point is 00:37:08 emoji but done wrong you know like there's nothing creative about it she was in the uncanny valley yeah she's an unalley valley it's just ridiculous like if she had done something like cooked cooked fish but uncooked rice which I don't know how you would do that but something where she's kind of flipping it on her head, I would get that. But, yeah, I don't know. All right, now for some good news. They've tranquilized Gail.
Starting point is 00:37:35 All right, and now who's on top of this competition? They call. You know, it was good to get that smack of flavor, which is what Gail says every time you throw a fruit roll up at her So go have at it. Oh Guys, let me try that again. Can we do that again? I'm standing on my job right now. I got too excited Yeah, try to get nice news. Yeah, okay, and now for the good news I have the highest Instagram follower account out of all of the chefs combined. Thank you account out of all of the chefs combined. Thank you. Cacán, would you like any lines?
Starting point is 00:38:05 It's a conical. I was very surprised because the green grinshy-looking thing, uh, it was your food, but it was meatball, and it was fiercely spiced. What a great disguise. Yes, tell that rice it's safe from the government now. Sky's rice. If anyone wants to give any candy bars to the Tannicles dish, have at it because it's dressed for Halloween. It's in a disguise. Anyway, Buddha. Yeah, Buddha.
Starting point is 00:38:37 He's like Buddha. That was like, wow. That was like one of my dishes. Padmins like, yeah. And one more favorite. Amar. Banana blue blue cheese, bacon, and bold. I would like to steal that idea for one of my restaurants. So the chef who won today took the competition to the next level, Chef Buddha. I was like Buddha, one with fucking
Starting point is 00:38:57 coconut milk sorbet in a skeleton mold. Of course. I am so proud of you you made the most potential food here today congratulations so Pam goes all right now go I can have something in store for your next challenge so poor people come out here with some closures thank you so a bunch of people come out with like the the closures the domes over the plates they're all put down in front of them everyone gets a close chefs please remove your cloches. No Sarah cloches, not clothes for crying out loud. Keep it together. So it's continents. And it's like dishes with colorful continents on them. It's better than Giles House where it's more like incontinence if you know what I'm saying. One of the dishes Gagan has on his menu is called Rainbow World and he's like
Starting point is 00:39:53 in Covid times there was a lot of hatred. So I thought I would spread love with this plate which can only be bought by 0.005% of the population that is too rich to hate in the first place. For the people who wait nine months to get the reservation in my restaurant, I paid $200. I created this dish. Anytime when restaurants weren't open to help hatred. Well, especially around the people who are in the streets fighting and angry, this is a dish they can think about when they're not in my restaurant because they'll never get in. And it is interesting because he's talking about how there was so much hatred and stuff
Starting point is 00:40:39 during that time. And that was a crazy time back to our country, but I didn't really think of that as a particularly LGBT time in our community. And maybe I'm forgetting something, but he's like, especially with the LGBT community. I was like, wait a minute, I don't know that that was really our community that was going through it.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Well, there was that point of my art to incident where all the Gays went to a giant circuit party. And then there was Gays over COVID and we're like, stop doing this Gays, stop going to parties when we're trying to get through a pandemic. But no, I agree. I don't think I feel like, you know, given that there's always a certain amount that our community is going through, I agree. I don't think that that was the community that was bearing the load just brunt. That was literally the Black Lives movement.
Starting point is 00:41:29 George Floyd. That was literally the timeline of that. I mean, thanks for the plates. They're very pretty. So he's like, wherever this planet they're born to love each other. And Gabri is like, this is a great moment. Not only is one of the greatest chefs in the world going to try my food, I'm going to get to lick his plate. So the idea is that you don't use your hands to eat it. You literally lick the plate and you're like just, you're, I guess you're like French kissing the world, basically. Sarah's like, oh my God, it's like my reception dinner. Ha ha ha ha ha he's like, well, licking the blade is nothing new for me. And then we see the
Starting point is 00:42:09 flashback of him licking his plate in Portland. And basically this, this plate that looks like is just like food coloring is actually takes many days of dehydrating fruits and flowers and, and all these things. It's a whole, it's the culmination of many hours of molecular gastronomy right there on your plates. And Pamela goes, it's very good. Yeah, she's just like, it, she's like, folks are tongue-on, she's like, yeah, mm, very good.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I'm gonna lick the homes of all my friends. Oh, that was Anachal, America, and Germany. Oh, that was Machiko Kakutani in New York City. Oh, that was David Chang. Hi, David. So, Tails, like, well, I think the concept is interesting and I'm definitely tasting it, but there's some chefs who are really laughing at that.
Starting point is 00:43:04 And it just shows Sarah with her face buried in it. She's like, I know. Sarah has a globe on her face when she puts that. Which puts it down. So, and Buddha, of course. Buddha is being so ridiculous. This whole episode Buddha is so ridiculous. He's like, oh, it's so, it's so, it's so, it's so, it's so, it's so, it's so, it whole episode but it's so ridiculous. He's like Sheffi this is like sheffi chefs are assholes episode am I fucking love it?
Starting point is 00:43:30 I know it's that it's that movie that just came about this sheffi Right, oh so I love that movie. It reminds me of that. He's like I love this dish It's so iconically gagging This is like the Willy Wonka, where every time you lick, there's a different flavor. I take blueberry, hibiscus, tropical flavors,
Starting point is 00:43:53 the mulled isle, the hobby lobby. You can take it. It's not just like a gimmick. It kind of is, because you could just put blueberries and carrots and everything on a plate
Starting point is 00:44:04 and just lick it up with your mouth, but that's fine. I mean, it's art, you know. Is it art, sweetie? I know, I know, I know. So then. I'm just, listen, listen, I'm not being anti-intellectual. I'm just laughing at watching people be assholes.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Yeah, it's like watching people be not a good soul. Like given the chance to be like a total asshole about this, they will do it. Yes. Come on, Shoez. Here comes one right now. host of the official Max Companion Podcast and just like that, the writers room. Each episode members of the writers room and I unpacked moments from season 2, sharing juicy details you can only hear from us. Stream and just like that season 2 is starting June 22nd on Max and listen to end just like that the writers room on Max or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:45:01 So Pat was like, your elimination challenge. We want you to create a dish that sends a message, is visually studying, and can be eaten without utensils. Like me, my message is Gail, please wear something that's not terrible. She shows up from something not visually studying, and she always eats without utensils. There you go. You'll see my work at Judges table. Yes. So again, make something visually stunning and make sure it could be eaten the way Gail attacks a bowl of pudding without utensils. All right. So Ali now Ali gets to be pretentious because he goes, I'm excited because if you come to my restaurant,
Starting point is 00:45:46 Ali, you will come inside and there's a very big hashtag that says hashtag, I have a story to tell because I do believe chefs are storytellers. Okay. Shut up. Shut up with that. It's like he has a hashtag neon art sign that says I have a story to tell
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah, I can't that's a lot and patterns like good luck downies So she leaves and then they're back in the car driving and Buddha's like ongoing gold away out I'll get frustrated. I'll get put into this category that like oh you'll just to twist a chef for your two molecular And I'm like well as long as it tastes good, you know, I mean, I'll eat a hamster if it has enough stilton on it. God, I love stilton. I love Buddha getting annoyed that he's in a category of being like a tweezer chef, when literally when they had to cook something family style,
Starting point is 00:46:38 or like when, yeah, when Buddha served his room temperature salmon. And he's like, it's called top chef, not top home person who makes food for a potlock. Like he literally got so snobby about it. And like also, he has 10 million molds. It's like, I'll help you put in this category of this person who cooks with molds and tweezers.
Starting point is 00:46:56 He also used tweezers in that episode to dress his salmon. I mean, there were like little microbes all over it. Yeah. And when they had to do a picnic, he's like, guys, don't think of it as a picnic. Think of it as a series of amuse bushes. Like, this is why you're in the tweezers category. Just enjoy it.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Don't try not to be in the tweezers, like no one wants to go to a pizza place by Buddha. You know what I mean? Stay in your, stay in your lane. You're going to be well in your lane. Maybe because the pizza will have the image of a skull in the center of it. I called getting killed in a pizza oven. I know.
Starting point is 00:47:31 I'll cook all of my pizzas in a triangle mode, mold. So then we go to Sarah, Nicole, and Dale's car, and Dale's like, well, I mean, sure, his dishes were good, but they took three days to make a, like how are we gonna do that? And so you're like, I'm not gonna outpatter to jolays or foams, that's just not my fucking style. You know what this is gonna be? Breast milk and beef, that's what they're getting in there. So then Dale, now this is,
Starting point is 00:47:59 Dale is so obnoxious, he's like, yeah, so I'm gonna, you know, they ask him what are you gonna make? He goes, you know, I never thought much about Mexican food. And then like the first time I had mule, I was like, oh my God, I'm like a complete fool. Like, I literally blew my mind.
Starting point is 00:48:13 And it's like so much beyond like French sauces. So like my message is never judge food until the white guy says it's actually good. And then like, you know, that, you know, it's gonna be good. So I'm gonna make actually good and then like you know that you know it's gonna be good so I'm gonna make a mole sauce you know and I don't make it all the time but I'm gonna make it like this is like the typical like white guy who's like hey guys have you ever heard of mole yeah let me show you how to do it it's also so racist yeah it's like oh Mexican food gross I mean Mexican food is nothing it's like cheap gross Mexican food. Gross. I mean Mexican food is nothing.
Starting point is 00:48:46 It's like cheap gross disgusting food. And then I had mole, which rivals a Bernays. I'm like, you're such an asshole. And I love that he thinks he's like caping it for the Mexican culture right now. Yeah. But he's like, wow, people really don't get it. Mexican food is good.
Starting point is 00:49:02 We know, dude. I know. That's the rest of us fucking know and respected. How dare you. I mean, I, listen, I wouldn't have, if he said like I never really clicked with Mexican food until I had moly and then suddenly like I got it, like that's fine, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:49:17 But then he's like, so I'm gonna make it. Even though I have not a lot of experience making it, I'm gonna make it because like I think, like I realized it was good, so now I can make it. Cause like, I think, like, I realized it was good so now I can make it and I can just like, I can just step into this like, hallowed, like food tradition, food making tradition, corner tradition and I'll just, I'll just do it,
Starting point is 00:49:36 even though I'm in it five times and like literally anything you see about Molle on cooking shows is about, like how long it takes and generations have perfected this and that and all these spices and he's like oh yeah I don't really get it but I'm gonna make it now because I know how because I like it now. Yeah and he's like well I just hope they don't say it's a Canadian Mollet and it's like is there maple in it? So then they get the whole foods and Sarah's like, just fuck it, give me some baby back ribs. I know, I was surprised they had it for some reason.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I just felt like British people would be like, no, we don't carry that cut to a bit too American for us, but they do, they have it. We don't carry any cut of meat that has American restaurant jingles based on it. I want my baby back, back baby back ribs. Yes we are yes you're in luck our shipment of baby back ribs just arrived and you'll just take a have to give us a moment they're all wearing sweatshirts with the Tasmanian
Starting point is 00:50:35 devilana. I told on one second okay I've cut the American off of it. I travel a lot because of food that's how you get to know other people's cultures. Also, whorehouses, but you know what, this isn't top whorehouses. It's like a morrow. Okay, come back to the five-in-diam, a morrow. Okay. I went to Thailand and fell in love with Papaya salad, so I'm going to do that for Gaghan, who happens to have his restaurant in Thailand.
Starting point is 00:50:59 And that's risky, but I'm going to do it. Just kidding. I never went to Thailand. I went to Morocco. kidding. I never went to Thailand. I went to Morocco. You guys thought I went to Thailand? It was Morocco. So then Dale, Dale's also getting frozen corn, which is a bad sign, frozen corn.
Starting point is 00:51:14 And then, Gabriee, he's gonna make an alpastor otaku, because it's like the most famous otaku, but he's gonna use fish instead of pork. And then, Charbel is saying how the challenge really speaks to him because the Lebanese people are going through a really hard time, especially after that crazy explosion that happened a few years ago, which is interesting because we just, Rod and I, we did dwell hello a few weeks ago where there was the person on that, she had, she was like, it works in the foreign service and she was living in Lebanon. And she said that she had to move out.
Starting point is 00:51:45 She went, moved to France because it was like really tough over in Lebanon after the explosion. So it's oddly interesting to me how that explosion, which sort of seemed like a crazy thing, but like, you know, it was something exploded. How it's really having an impact on Lebanon, you know, as seen through reality TV, I should say, I'm trying to be like, wow guys, but like, you know, it's just a huge fucking disaster, but I think sometimes in, I think sometimes the new cycle is just like, oh, there's an explosion in a country, and then we just had to move on, you know, it's like, it's a reminder, I had a devastating impact, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yeah, so they go into the kitchen and Nicole's like, the message aspects speaks to me because of where I'm at in my life. So this is based on three generations of Chinese culture. There's a very good luck number, and I'm about to adopt a child from Vietnam. Oh, three is a very good luck number. I'm about to adopt a child from Vietnam. Oh, three is a very good luck number. I'm about to adopt a child from Vietnam. I'm close to my mother.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I'm business partners with my sisters. So that's my message right now. I was like, no, I love her. I'm not sure. I read that everything she says. Just because she's always like kind of smiling and like being sweet. She's great. And then we have Tom and he's making a pumpkin. I'm making a pumpkin. He's making a pumpkin
Starting point is 00:53:05 to use as ball gag. So pumpkins and carrots, like they look like I'm going to take pumpkins and carrots and I'm going to put them together to make them look like they did pumpkin in the end. I was like, wow, I like that. He's making pumpkin. He's going to shave pumpkin to look like pumpkin. But he's going to do it with mooses. And I still don't know really what his messages and I actually never learned what his message was. I think his messages that like, if you take big pumpkin, you can make it look like a little pumpkin.
Starting point is 00:53:31 And- No, his message is, I always thought you had to travel a lot to see food, but then I learned you have to see your own produce at home pumpkin. Oh. I think you need more of a lesson there, but I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 00:53:44 But too much of a good thing, you'll be walking finding all the rest of the week. So watch out for your weekend. Ah, ding. So then Tom is, oh, sorry, Ali is doing a kibby, which he calls kabe, which he would know better than me. But we always call it kibby. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:54:04 That was my biggest kitchen. Maybe it's kibby. So there you go. That was my biggest kibby and love. I've been screwed by all of my ancestors. Well, maybe it's kibby and Lebanon and Kabean Jordan. And because I've heard of Kabe, Kabe, it could be anything. Guys, I, I'm an expert on the Middle East now since I read a Wikipedia page about that explosion. So I just want to inform everyone. I'm like the dail of Lebanon right now. Oh, I actually got my grandmother, my city's cookbook for you. Really?
Starting point is 00:54:32 I ordered it, and I haven't given it to you yet. Yes, I need to remember to bring that next time. But kidby and Lebanese culture at least are like ground meat balls lamb usually with bulgar wheat. And they're made into, they used to make them actually it's a little diamonds and stuff, you could like pick it up and eat it with something like this. Wow. Yeah, that's what he's making.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Yum. And he talks about how he's been advocating for the United Nations for the past few years about food waste, that's going to be his message. And then, yeah, in Charlottes, making some some stuff with she's using, he's gonna make like a homemade phylo dough, which is really cool. So then Buddha, back to Buddha, he's like, Gaggans, one of those people who will go down in a lifetime as one of the greatest chefs in history, really,
Starting point is 00:55:19 which is why I'm gonna make food in a shape of a history book with reading glasses made out of bread. I am making a head of George Washington made out of cheese. Because history, but he's like, no, I think that my hand mold actually feels most appropriate for this challenge. The hand is going to hold a cheese dip. Like, wow, he's actually got hands that are like this, right? He's got cupping hands. But the hands are not going to be edible, which is what was surprising to me.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Like, the hands are just there as for presentation, which they all simply wind up being kind of ghostly and strange, I don't know. So, Victoria's gonna celebrate African food by making a dish called Akhara. And then, Gabri, his message is all about sustainable agriculture and corn. So, he started talking about corn, and he's just going on and on and on about corn,
Starting point is 00:56:16 and like, that's so funny. He's like 90% of the corn use in the world is transgenic. That means genetically modified. My uncle gross corn and organic corn, like, he loves corn. My whole family loves corn. That means genetically modified. My uncle gross corn and organic corn like he loves corn. My whole family loves corn. It just keeps cutting. It's like five minutes later. He's still going on a back corn. Five minutes later. He's still going on a back corn and then it just cuts to make torches. Shout out to about corn. My God.
Starting point is 00:56:38 I love you. My God. I love you. I don't care about corn. No one cares. Your message is not strong for me. So then Sarah's like, I love eating with my fingers. That's like my fingers. We know Sarah. Then it gets like... Padma just pops up. We know.
Starting point is 00:56:56 And then they showed this like footage. I don't know where it's from. Of Sarah with this glass plate and she just picks it up. And she just l it up and she just licks it all the way from bottom to top goes she goes in. She's like, well, it's totally the thing we do in my family, visually stunning as what it's supposed to be. So I'm going to give them something that looks like one thing, but it's actually another
Starting point is 00:57:20 thing. Um, let's, I don't know what is she doing like a tree? She, that's like a tree log or something. She literally made a rib and it looked like a rib. But she put tiny flowers on it or something. So I think it was supposed to look like a log or something. I know what y'all are thinking. This looks like a quilt, right? No, it looks like a rib. Well, guess what? It's a rib. I know. Steep in for a minute. So, um, Tom is rolling up his
Starting point is 00:57:49 mousse with pumpkin and it has to freeze over in night. And so he's like wrapping them all up and he puts copper around it, which is a food stabilizer. And then Dale has only made mole. This is only the fifth time he's made Molle. He's like, it's called Molle number five. It's like, no, don't do that either. Please just stop. Please don't unfoke, Lou Mamba, because that's what you basically did.
Starting point is 00:58:14 Lou Bay guys, please don't. I just don't. A little bit of Jessica in my Molle. So yeah, so he's making that Molle, it's making me mad. So now it's the next morning. And now, oh, God. So we see a shot of Dale in bed. And he has about as bad of a of a sheffi chest tattoo, as it can be, I pause. Did you take a look at his chest tattoo? Let me describe it. Okay. It was a lot. So first of all, it's a whole sort of scene. It looks like a garden. And there's, he has two pink flowers. And at the center of each
Starting point is 00:58:51 flower, you know, like, what do you call the sound? You know, like where the petals come off of? It's not like the bud. Is that like the pistol, the thing, whatever it is? But you know, like, if you pluck the, the petals off of it, that, that circle part of a flower, you know? Yeah. That's his, those are his nipples. That's a bud. Okay, so the bud. His nipples are the buds and there's like tattoo pedals
Starting point is 00:59:11 coming around his nipples. Okay, so that already is so disturbing. And then there's like a boxer who's showing down against a magician and then there's a giant heart in the center of all of this and it just says, Mom. Oh, geez. It's just like about as bad as can be.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Oh, gross. Yeah, he seems to be the kind of person who would have terrible tattoos. Yeah, I think just like- And I love that he really just sticks with his mom thing to like get off with all of his bad behavior. Right. Which we haven't really seen yet. We just know it's lurking there and we've seen it in the clip of when they showed him being like, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:59:52 I need three pancakes. Whatever it was. Yeah. I just hated that tattoo because you know if you explained he's like, yeah, because there's a boxer in a magician because like I feel like I'm always fighting, but I always feel like I'm making magic at the same time. And it's all from my mom. I'm like, ah, shush, go away.
Starting point is 01:00:10 So then we learn about Sarebel. He talks about his brother. He says he moved to LA when he was 20 with his brother. And he didn't know any English. And they slept in like a little warehouse with a mattress on the floor. And he's really grateful to those days because now he can appreciate what he has.
Starting point is 01:00:27 And I was like, damn. That's crazy. Because he's like 25 or 26. So he speaks English really well considering how much time it's passed. Yeah, I mean, it really makes me realize how ignorant I am. I'm like, wow. I know.
Starting point is 01:00:40 I've used my life literally for no good. So thanks. So then we go over to the car, sir, the cars. And Amar's like, oh my God, this one is made for Buddha. This is for Buddha and Tom for this one. So, if they don't make it, forget about it. And it's cook time. It's time to cook stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Yes, they're cooking. Ali is stressed because he has to make a green salsa and the stuff is dough and cook his leaves. And he has mushrooms everywhere. And like like he just wants to go home for this challenge. And then a mar is struggling, he's got to make an herb powder and then he wants to deconstruct ingredients in his papaya salad. And then gobri, he's happy because Mexican food is based just eating with hands anyway,
Starting point is 01:01:22 so but he wants it to be stunning. So he actually makes, it's actually so cool. He makes a multicolor tortilla, and I was like, I feel like Ronin's gonna try to make this at some point. No, no. I'm good with a single color tortilla. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:01:35 There are enough of a pain in the ass without making three different dose. Okay. I'm good with the arid. Okay. So then the judges come in, it's Padma Gelt, Tom Kagan, and they all come into the kitchen because that's where they're eating today. And Gail's like, I always
Starting point is 01:01:52 like eating in this kitchen. Yeah. The period should have come after eating Gail. Remount sentences are the only exercise you do, aren't they? I just like seeing them when they're cooking, you know, poor people scurrying about trying to impress us, celebrities. It's just so enjoyable, thinking that they could ever make me truly smile, poor things. And times like, oh, the mousse is frozen and it looks good to me, but it means to the frost 30 minutes, so I want to impress them. So, oh, god, I'm going to put them in a little boxes. And um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, it's very cool. So Padma says, well, we're gonna be eating two dishes at a time.
Starting point is 01:02:48 It's like gal when she goes to the opera. So I'll eat it tomorrow first. It's like tell me about your dishes. And all is like today, I've prepared something vegan, mushroom kope, chicken mousse, and pickled grape leaves. He's like usually this is made with lamb, but the over production of limestone harms our heart. I've chosen and our earth. Sorry, I'm at the earth. Probably the heart too.
Starting point is 01:03:16 But I've chosen mushrooms because it's the best substitute for me. And then Omar is talking about how travelers the best way to know other people's culture. So I did a seafood sausage wrapped in green papaya, peanut, and peanut and something pure a tomato. Tomatoes. Tomatoes. Tomatoes. You know what?
Starting point is 01:03:37 They put me in a blender and now I'm served as a tiny dot across the dish and I tell myself, hey, this might not be the life I dreamed of, but at least they can't call me a mixologist, okay? Yeah. Yeah. So then, Amara's like, okay, so how you eat mine is you like, you grab this thing here and then you grab it at one and then just slide it all across like this.
Starting point is 01:03:58 How do I do it? Do I need a spoon? I'm so confused. I know, I love that you had to give her a perfect example of how to do it. Mmm, very flavorful. And she was like, oh, I'm all in. Oh, is there a can of Chris Go that you've jumped into? Sorry, Kelsey is a hot tep and she just can't resist jumping in. You know, do we get challenged like this? Gives the chef a creative license just to go for it.
Starting point is 01:04:26 It's like having a father who's a world chef, world class chef, and you're world's heroic and you can just go for it. And then for some reason you decide to be a mixologist. Like, why would you do that? Why would you even do that? So Kagan is like, I lived in Thailand 15 years. Great Thai dish. The only thing I love more than the dish is licking my fingers.
Starting point is 01:04:47 Can I get a close-up? All right, let's start. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm Dress Bar and see if they need an official endorsement from you. Licking our fingers, can't stop, won't stop. And there goes Gail's pinky. Can we get someone to tie Gail's hands behind the back, please? Oh, so Gaggen loved Ali's interpretation of his culture, where meat is important. And he said, he's showing that meat doesn't have to be important.
Starting point is 01:05:23 It's more edible by hands. And Tom goes, well, I mean, where do we go from here? Well, I think we're going to go into, where do we go from here? I think it's in Gail's case, she's probably going to the Marshmallow aisle and shop right. That's probably where she goes from here. Gail just says, I hope we go up. Why is that where they're keeping the chocolate chips? So then Tom is like oh as I'm glating I realized the most deflated too much. Oh my god
Starting point is 01:05:51 Now it's just this moose in the glass of ox and Padma's like all right Buddha you go first tell us your message and he's like this is called from the hands of Mother Nature So I've made hands out of nature. And I've formalized onion and black garlic puree, brilliant, savoring, shallot and bread crumble with pickled vegetables. And there's like fall colored flowers all over it. It's like an anguetti's picture that just needs a baby.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Yeah, and again, you can't actually eat the hands. They just are ghost hands rising up. And Gale's like, so did you just happen to bring the hand mold? No Gale. He chopped off the hands of ginger spice and put them in a bowl. Of course he did. Bless her heart.
Starting point is 01:06:33 She's a little slow sometimes. Those are the Gone his hands. Gale, idiot. It's like, it's like, it's so Buddhist. Buddhist like, it just happened to be the perfect and Gale goes, moment. Oh, it's like it's so Buddhist. Buddhist like it just happened to be the perfect and gyal goes moment. Oh, it's like your twins. Gail also brought a mold. It's called Spanx. So, uh, no, no, it is time for Tom. He's made his ginger and tumeric moose, pumpkin and chotney and gail says. So you want us just to pick it up. No, Gail. Use so you want us just to pick it up.
Starting point is 01:07:05 No Gail, use your spoon of course pick it up. It's a finger challenge. God, here's how you really do it. Did you mean to make this not able to be picked up nicely, idiot? And Gidgahns, like so your intention was for us to have dirty hands and Tom goes, definitely. Yeah. That one goes interesting in her.
Starting point is 01:07:25 I'm not buying that German. So then they're talking and she's like, what do you think is it pumpkin dish from Tom? Well, I think it's, you know, pretty interesting. There's a hint of ginger and fruit, but uh, well, that mousse is just not well made. It's broken. It's like, uh, uh, Pothma realizing she's dating someone without a bank account. Well good one Tom. You fuck Fucking traitor Tom at least I'd never show up on March of happens live dress like Indiana Jones So oh my god. Yeah, you can't get Tom and the gal on Indiana Jones
Starting point is 01:08:01 It's like this is why the world needs stylists Seriously, gal's like, you know, I felt like with the moose, the gel at the bottom was falling apart. Oh, like you're manicures, I get that. Um, so Tom's like, well, I'd love to his story, but if Mother's Nature is bounty, I want more bounty, Buddha, okay, you know? They're talking about Buddha, obviously.
Starting point is 01:08:25 So then we go to Gabri and Charbel, and there is a tarf fellow, and it's shaped in the cedar tree shape, which is the Lebanon tree, which all my cousins got on their ankle, but didn't invite me to get one. Oh. Because they're fuckers.
Starting point is 01:08:41 Actually, they didn't invite me, but my mom was like, you were too young to get a cedar tree on your ankle. It's like, okay, if I still decide to identify as Lebanese when I'm older, I can get one. I put the fuck. Will I be less Lebanese when I'm 18? Just get a giant one on your chest.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Be like, well, they wouldn't let me have a little one. So now I'm big cedar tree. No, I figure I wear too many low socks and people would be like, oh my god, that gay guy is a Christmas gay. He loves Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, it's always a reminder that it's Christmas on my ankle. So now the next things are coming to the table.
Starting point is 01:09:21 And Tom, Tom's doing that thing where he's staring like a pigeon. You know, like when a pigeon comes up and it wants like, you want like bread, but you put down a piece of tinfoil or something and the pigeon stairs are like, oh, what's the use of that? What's the use of that? So Sarah serves a pecan pork with cocoa buttermilk and her message is, everything here is cooked slowly. So slow down and enjoy the sweet things in life. Which to me felt a little bit like she came up with the dish and was like, yeah, well, I guess this is a message I could use. Be slow, be slow, buy a quilt, is that work?
Starting point is 01:09:56 Yeah, that was a pretty stretchy message there. Yeah. And Gail's like, go slower, I'm picking up what you're putting down, sister. Gail, any slower you'd be a Norman fucking Rockwell painting. All right? Yeah. I'm not holding one more elevator for you, by the way. I'm really, I really am picking up what you're putting down. Oh, did you put down a funnel cake? Is that what it is? Yeah, she's picking up, she's picking up what you're putting down and putting it in her mouth like she does everything else I literally put down my keys this morning. Gail swallowed them
Starting point is 01:10:32 Thankfully my BMW is touchless Gaggen's like this could be a fast food chain Which is hilarious at the rib Ribs a single rib a single rib with flowers on it. Yeah, it's also funny when they talk about what fast food is. So then Dale is, and also by the way, hilarious that her messages slow down and enjoy life. He's like, this could be a fast food chain.
Starting point is 01:10:58 So, I get the messages and really work. Dale, what about you? And Dale's like, you know what I always saw Mexican food and I thought God gross But you know I tasted my first mole and then I knew I was so ignorant so my message is don't be ignorant Great message thanks now too fucking late, okay, we already heard your Mexico monologue you dick So he's like so yeah, here here's some mole and some other, here's a corn custard and a pineapple pickled jalapeno and just like swipe your chicken through that
Starting point is 01:11:33 and I'm like, huh, and the green sauce, it's just cilantro, that's it, just cilantro. He's like, yeah, just cilantro. That's it, what is that, what? What? I'm not sure. Okay, well, you know what, you're just gonna do a cilantro, nothing else with that?
Starting point is 01:11:46 No. You sure? Are you sure there's nothing else? No. There's a cilantro. Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well Sarah sort of blew me away. She turned my idea of a dessert upside down. Like the time we water-borded you with soft serve until you agreed to wear a solid color dress for once. Glad it worked. You know that's a lot coming from Gail. I mean after all, Gail is the one who invented the rubber tire Sunday.
Starting point is 01:12:20 So Gagant's like eating with the hands was easy, the rib was falling off the bone but still holding onto the bone and Tom's like, well, I'm loving this buttermilk, wow, wow, wow, wow. You know, Dale's chicken had a weird, flabby, floppy texture, Gail, you get it, you understand. Gail, Gagon, would you like to relate that description to Gail trying on bathing suits? No, you're a whist. Gaggen, please touch Gail's weenis. There. That's what the chicken tasted like. Well, what I find interesting is the mole. That's the best part of it. And Gail's like pineapple and mole. The ingredients for for great but that chicken vehicle fell short.
Starting point is 01:13:06 That's why they don't make vehicles out of chicken. No one needs chicken as a vehicle. They're very dangerous. And this is coming from someone who's actually tried to drive a chicken. So, Gil, BMW's our sponsor, not a chicken. God, you should see how awkward it was when she tried to open up the chicken's trunk. So then, um, canola, Victor, Victor, or a certain something that looks like a canoli and, um, she says, this is the colors of my Africa. And Brad was like, okay, whatever. So Gabri went yours and he's like the most famous from taco from Mexico, but instead of pork I use fish and my message is corn
Starting point is 01:13:48 So the problem is like excuse me one second. Let me do this That was a big girl's like so I'm supposed to make a taco with this he literally just called the Nataco gal for fuck sake Gales, take it off of your head. No, it's not a hair wrap. Come on gal, focus. Bless her heart. But also, Gabbardy keeps giving them things that they have to put together themselves which I think is really funny.
Starting point is 01:14:17 That is funny. So, Big Tour, I was actually hoping that this was gonna be life-a-tour as redemption after a rough quick fire, you know, because normally they really like it when people cook from like their home, you know. So she made a cassava canola, textures of roots with potato and bacon cream and pineapple mango sauce and Pam is like, when this dish is eaten normally, is it sweet or is it savory? And Victoria is like, well, it's actually, it's both, you know, it's like well, it's actually it's both you know, it's in Ghana It's savory in an Congo it's sweet and Pam is like mmm. I know of both those countries
Starting point is 01:14:50 I guess I'm just pretty smart that way thanks Thank you, Gaunt's like well, I love your message that Africa should not only be a safari land But that also should be taken seriously with food and So as they the judges talk y'all things are both interesting and food. And so as they, the judges talk, Gal thinks they're both interesting and they loved Gabri's and Gal's like, I'd licked it up. It's like, no one was surprised, Gal, okay? And Tom's like, turning a taco on his head. Duh, delicious. Wow. Just turned that taco on his head. Give it a couple of spins in a beatbox. He'd make a lot of money on the subway and telling you. Pretty interesting.
Starting point is 01:15:24 Yeah, it's great that you turned the taco on its head. It was less great when Gail actually put the taco on her head, but you know, she's learning. She's trying. And Victoria tells a great story, but the dish wasn't great. You know, it wasn't great. And Gail gets like, oh, it was so obnoxious and strong, but not strong enough. Yeah, little more sugar, nidra, Padma in her anger.
Starting point is 01:15:47 I love this is another Padma angry critique where she goes, it needed a little more sugar, and a little more salt if she wanted to, that line. Listen, I know about those two countries I've seen them on a map before, so that makes me an expert, some more sugar
Starting point is 01:16:05 and more salt. So um, Sarbel does brown, white, brown sauce. Oh, so he does like a sauce slides. It's a kind of thing. And Nicole is doing her like emotional plating or whatever. So she presents her first. And she's like, this is called three. And this in regards to three generations. My mom is a single mother of three. And I'm about to embark on adoption. There's a child in Vietnam waiting for me right now. That was like,
Starting point is 01:16:40 why wait, take care. A child waiting in Vietnam, congratulations. Is it famous? Has it been to Paris yet? Just wanna know the degree to which I can shame it. Thanks so much. So then, Charlbell, Charlbell is amazing, okay? Because it already looked beautiful, but then when you realize he's actually made
Starting point is 01:17:03 the Lebanese flag out of those purés And that he's his his phylo-seater trees are like the tree on the flag. It's like it's great so It's labna with comfy garlic and zatar paste into middle puree and It's just like really wonderful and Tom's like, huh? you know, I only wish there were two trees on your flag. No one, can I have a phone call with your president and say, hey, can you propose some more trees? Cause your trees are delicious.
Starting point is 01:17:32 I love them. And I've had them and I was like, well, what did you think of Nicole's role? Tom's like, well, you could taste all the flavors, but it ain't dry. Oh, it's like Gale before she goes swimming. It was probably the easiest to eat. I was like, I loved her story. I could taste the adoption. It was delicious. I love Chabel's flavors. Basically, we're just eating sauce of the crap
Starting point is 01:18:01 with the cracker, but it packed so much flavor. I'd like to point out is twice now two weeks in a row that last week, Sarebel made a couple sauces and this week he made sauce because last week he did the cruditeis with the different dips. Now dips are important in our culture but last week we fought a little bit more egregious because it was just like cruditez. At least this time you made like, Philo though, you know? Well, the Philo does the easier thing, don't you think, than making three different sauces with three different dips? I think Philo does seem hard to make it that thin and let it go.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Don't you have to like, roll it out thin and roll it out. I don't know. Philo does seem scary to me. So I'm intimidated so I've had was like yeah, I mean it was just crackers, but so much flavor and Tom's like when you do high concept it's uh, you know What's the process and that being able to produce at this level? Well, that is exceptional Is there a ball chasing me because I'm gonna to run down this tube like I'm about okay in the end of Jones that's enough. We'll see on what it happens live just a minute. So you know now
Starting point is 01:19:13 the chefs all go back they're in the stew room and they're like trying to figure out they're talking about how like Tom never never gives any feedback whatsoever. And then we go to judging and talking I like that Ali I have to say something. Ali goes, oh, my message, guys, it was very sensitive. It was climate change. It's like, oh wow, deep. The true message, it's very deep. It's almost like gas.
Starting point is 01:19:37 It's almost as deep as, don't be ignorant. So now it's judging and I'm like, like, well, we ain't really well today. We ain't really well. Yeah, what we tried to eat well is a little hard with Gail, stacking all our plates and throwing them in her mouth. But yeah, we did eat well. Yeah. And Tom's like, you know, this was where the competition just got really, really, really, really serious. You know, Who is a, you know, all those messages about be slow, don't be ignorant, climates, and little pumpkins? Wow, real serious right now.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Three chefs stood out, Charbell, Ali and Amar, everyone else stepped to the side, and Charbell's like the middle east boys are kicking us. There were a lot of beautiful dishes today. It was just hard to choose just three. Amar, all those flavors from Thailand really came to life in my mouth. Yeah, and I really liked the presentation. It was different, but it never lost sight of the flavors.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Sort of like we decided to wear a fedora and watch her happen live with a scarf around it. It looks crazy, but it's still just Tom, you know what I'm saying? And Ali, your message was, you know, we don't need meat at every meal. And I say that it's someone who owns a steakhouse, who serves meat, who kills a lot of animals. Okay, great dish! It was a great dish still. Yeah, it had all that aromatic crunch in the inside was soft and warm and savory. Kind of like gale on a camping trip.
Starting point is 01:21:10 It's like one of gale's sleeping bags. Soft warm and savory inside. But don't get too close. So gale felt, if you get felt Charl Bells was a call to action. And Tom was thought it was alive and vibrant. And Gaggen loved the boldness. And Charl Bell was saying that was very personal. And now the winner was Ali.
Starting point is 01:21:36 And Ali is like, oh God, you know, being in the bottom yesterday, I'm just so glad I had this comeback. So I could win my third one and continue being the extremely humble top winner of this season so far. Because that's what it's hard to what did you say last week where he was like, you know, being humble is really hard when you keep winning or something. He says something so not just last week. Do you remember that? Yeah, but I don't remember the exact crow, but that's him. He's like, I lost earlier and then I won today, you know. He's always, he's always shocked when he's not the top, you know. He's like, well, I guess
Starting point is 01:22:14 we'll be back tomorrow. So we'd like to see Dale, Victoria, and Tom now. You dummies! Have a good enough sand here and watch us rip them to shreds. I'm proud of us, so mean. She's like, the three of you had our least favorite dishes in a day where we had 10 extraordinary dishes. So does that make anyone feel bad if anyone would like to cry? Now is the time to start. How did it go for you, Dale?
Starting point is 01:22:39 I see that even your mustache is uncurled today. And he's like, well, you know, it was really a revelation for me because this was the fifth time I've made a mole. And basically the fifth time I've said Mexican food isn't as ignorant as I thought it was. So, and I mean, to me, it has to be one of the most intense and interesting sauces in the old world. I mean, have I mentioned that it beats Bernays? I mean, I'm not sure anyone here has heard of Mollay before.
Starting point is 01:23:06 It's really my honor to introduce it to all you guys, and maybe you didn't like it, because maybe you just don't know about it yet, but like, as a white guy who's tried it once, I can tell you, it's really good. And you should have your minds open to it. Don't be ignorant. Hashtag. Of course we've heard of it.
Starting point is 01:23:20 Gales got a bunch of them on her back, shaped like a Ben and Jerry's kind. So, Gagon's like, look at Ali, yesterday he didn't do well and today's a winner. Fictoir, I love your socks, I can't stop watching them. And your story. Unfortunately, I didn't feel any seasoning in your food. If only you put some socks. Yeah, only you had some socks in your food. Unfortunately, this isn't top sock. And even where I still don't like your socks,
Starting point is 01:23:52 gag, and what are you talking about? So Pat, I was like, what is this dish? I mean, can you, Victoria, this dish from the Congo, or Ghana? What is it? You referenced it. You said it with some sort of street food. Is this food that you find on a street
Starting point is 01:24:08 and you pick it up and you eat it? How does that work? What is street food anyway? Who did we still street food from? And Victoria's like you treat the Congo? I'm just asking questions. You get roots of potatoes and you cut it and you fry it. And I'm like, ah, so how did you cook this?
Starting point is 01:24:26 I boiled it with the skin on and it comes like, but you lose all the starch that way. And Tom's like, yeah, yeah That's it. I feel like you're talking about it. You should fry it and this isn't fried and you know Neither am I and I can say with confidence We're planned both of us your dish and me. We're both pretty blind people. I suggest your fish, I suggest your next dish, I get some kind of a safari hat. So I suggest. German Tom, how did they go for you? Were you happy with your decision to put wet mousse in a plastic box and pass it off as finger food? He's like, oh, today was amazing. I was excited to make it, and I made it soft. Very good.
Starting point is 01:25:05 I don't know how I'm going to get on. And it was beautiful, but for me, it was very difficult to eat with a hand. And Pat was like, the flavors of your dish were amazing. That's not why you're here. It was a technical issue. I was like, what is it? Well, sometimes Pat was just like, what is it?
Starting point is 01:25:26 What is it? Why does sometimes Fatma is just like on a stage sobbing, you know, and then she just calms right back down. It's like, and then Tom does his favorite thing. He loves doing this to people on the bottom. I mean, if the mousse set, and we're actually able to pick it up, I mean, he would have won this thing. But instead, it was literally the worst thing I ever
Starting point is 01:25:44 into my life. How could you do this to me? Otherwise, it would have been the worst thing I ever had in my life. How could you do this to me? Otherwise it would have been the best thing I ever had in my life. I can't believe you did that. So now it's judges alone time. And basically, Padma's like, well, Dale gave us no seasoning. Yeah, the chicken was bland and the mole didn't have any depth. And got a gig on it's like, yeah, that's what's the most the most Mexican dish I've ever had in my life. Like, Dale, yeah, one thing I would never suggest for Dale to make is Mexican food. Well, I mean, Dale, Dale has sort of played it safe. Let's see, the last thing he just made was the chicken soup. And then last week, I think he made like a double-deag. I feel like
Starting point is 01:26:24 a lot of stuff has, when he went home, he went home because they're doing a scotch egg and he wanted it just to serve a salad instead of trying to do an interesting side. So like the idea of this person making a mole, it's just like, it's not gonna work out, right? You know?
Starting point is 01:26:39 So, yeah. Victor was talking about how she's saying that she wanted to change the view of the African gastronomy and Tom's like, you know, my problem, I just didn't know what to swish. It was like, what is this? Is it a canole? Is it a glove?
Starting point is 01:26:54 Is it a car? What is this? I can't tell, I can't figure it out. It was basically a pile of potatoes. It's Tom, it's not like Gail's, she's got the hands in with the team by herself. Potatoes is Tom gale. It's not like gale's She's right there Tom there's only one pile of potatoes here and she's standing in front of us quiet so
Starting point is 01:27:14 the Sweet potato had no taste and gale's like well She said in the original dish that the components were fried. I mean if you're gonna make a change It needs to be an improvement and nothing's improved by not being fried. I mean, as anybody been able to go back to regular butter. Well, that's what I tell Gail. Every time she's raiding the bargain, been a dress barn. If you're going to make a change, make sure it's an improvement. And then what does she do? She comes back with paisley and polka dots and her kool-ots. Ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:27:44 Gail's like, yeah, I mean, you really need an improvement there. Yeah, well, why don't you tell your hairdresser that every time you go in Gail, it's actually good advice. So then there's Tom. And they're like, oh, we had to scoop up his moose with our fingers. It was so delicious. And it looks so beautiful. I just don't know what to do. I mean, there it was. Delicious and it looks so beautiful
Starting point is 01:28:08 I just don't know what to do. I mean there it was Moose in a box so delicious so beautiful But I couldn't I couldn't figure out how to get into my mouth which made it the worst thing I ever ate ever So let's get the matter here and eat them with our hands Let's get all the chefs out here and eat them with our hands. I'll eat Dale. So they call them back out and Tom has his monologue. He's like, you know, chefs, we all have our stories to tell. My story is an egg that was supposed to be cooked beautifully,
Starting point is 01:28:37 but instead refuses a real education and legacy and comes out liquidy in a class. And sold to NEAD off the street, it was called called a bar so one of you is going to go home but it's not the end of your story because I also have to show online. Bobbo? Bobbo? D. Bobbo? Please pack your knives and go.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Again, okay, hashtag you had a story to tell and it was boring. Okay! Please pack your mustache and go to Mexico and pay attention while you're there. I'm so sorry your return was short, but at least it was hilarious at least for us. Oh are you crying? I'm so sorry this must be humiliating for you. Hold on. Let me take a picture of your humiliation so I can laugh about it with my famous friend tonight. Hold on, stay still. All right great, thanks so much, Dale. And Dale's like, wow, well, that's me, two-time loser, so it feels terrible.
Starting point is 01:29:30 Okay, and it's a very different season. But I got to get beat by some of the best chefs in the world, so I'm gonna keep fighting, and hopefully slide into the finale, and Dale wins his win into the finale. I'm gonna be pissed, but I I do not wanna see this man again. At least I got to introduce Molae to the world. That's gonna be his thing. So anyway. Well, at least I'm leaving here a pioneer.
Starting point is 01:29:56 A Molae pioneer. Anywho, so I was actually, on the one hand, I was really thrilled that Dale went home because I can't stand him. But on the other hand, that was a little sad because he was shaping up to be a good villain, but he's actually a terrible villain because every time his villainy started to really appear, he would get sent home. So, you know, he's not like one of those top chef people who just like manages to stick it through week after week. He just... He's just sent home.
Starting point is 01:30:25 He's like, I don't need more Dale. He's not even going to have enough to be a villain. The proper villain. Yeah, we don't like him, but he's not particularly a villain. He's just no fun. You know, he's a wet blanket. What you can buy in Puduka. If you really want one.
Starting point is 01:30:40 Well, I have a wet blanket mold actually. Bring it up next to you. Don't worry, it eventually crusts over. All right.. All right everybody.
