It's a podcast for all that crap we love to talk about on your brawls. I'm Ronnie, that's been over there. Hi, Ben. Hi, how are you? Good, babe. How you feeling today? You know, I'm getting a little bit better, feeling a little bit better. I'm more hydrated. I'm feeling like I'm coming to life, which is good because I didn't want to be less than subpar to recap this latest episode of Top Chef. I wanted to be on my game.

And you know what? My appetite is here. I feel like I can shrink together words into a pretty decent sentence now, so I think that like things are looking up. All right, well, let's see how it goes. Everybody, welcome to the show. Today is Top Chef Day, which we're very excited about, okay? It's also Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Day,

just crazy, it's a lot of stuff going on today. So go check that out if you haven't heard it. Thank you for being here. And I am so excited and to see you guys in Toronto and Philadelphia because that's where we're going later this week. We're at the Royal Theater in Toronto on the 21st with Real Housewives of New Jersey and then we'll be in Philly on the 21st with real ass-wise of New Jersey.

And then we'll be in Philly on the 22nd very next night at the film more with Palm Rules, a little van to Palm Rules. May will be a New York City at Town Hall. That's a huge show followed by another huge one in Washington, DC at the Lincoln Theater. Get your tickets, people. Go get your tickets at watchupcrapons.com.k and then all the rest of our dates are there as well for the rest of our tour and that's also links to Patreon. You get our bonuses and videos. Today is a video, I think. Hi, Ben.

Sure. Why not? Hi. How are you? So nice to see you. You look great. Are you getting some ice to see you? You look great. My lighting goods. Okay, good. I'm not centered. Let me center myself Is my lighting good? Okay, good. I'm not centered. Let me center myself. Oh, look at that. Now I'm centered. There we go.

We got to like, like, supermodels if we're talking about Padma Lakshmi, right? Oh, yes. People only come here for looks. So, um, yes. So that's that, everybody. Thanks for being here. And let's get on with that. I mean, top chef.

A. Well, and by the way, this is a rare instance where we're not only recapping top chef, but we're also recapping last chance kitchen because you just couldn't stop watching top chef. Ronnie texted me and said, we're doing last chance kitchen and I was like, really? I mean, I love last chance kitchen, but we don't recap it.

But then I was like, oh yeah. Oh yeah, we see why, right? Yeah, they make you, they don't give you any fucking choice. And that's not fair. Like I get, that's like us being like, and the winner is, you have to subscribe to Patreon to find out a bit more. You can't do that, especially because not all the people

in America get last chance kitchen, okay? Sometimes some things that doesn't just show up on your TV, okay? I'm speaking for the people. But it was good, but it was also bad. And the upside is that we got more time with the guest judge Max who owns a book about picnics. And he is like so over the top and excitable and animated. Like he's so thrilled to be there clearly.

And you could just see the entire time. He's like, oh, the way she put the mayonnaise on the bread, that's just a wonderful, I get quiet. Quiet, Mr. do we need to get you a put you in a timeout for crying out loud? Matt Max and the sweaty dome over there be quiet, Max. Seriously. Yeah, Max is very like too into it and I don't believe that he's a pumpkin, pumpkin, picnic lover. I know he has a picnic book, but I just don't see Max sitting on the ground eating out of a basket. I just don't see it guys. I do because you know, since this episode took place at Dutton Abbey, I could totally see Max sitting at that picnic the day that the crowdlies found out that

World War One broke out. And Edith was about to have some triumphant moment, remember? And they're like, guess what? There's war. And then everything was ruined for her for like the 10th time. I can imagine we have blanket. Every good moment that Edith ever had on that. So by the way, Bueller is having a picnic behind me.

He was eating his wiener. So that was fun. So thanks for giving everybody at home that view. Do not scratch the couch. Don't scratch the couch. What are you doing? He is really all. He's really digging around back there.

Huh? He is. It's pondering. I hate when I get distracted and actually see him. Usually it's looking your face. He's probably using a round. What's he looking for? He's making a bet. Yeah, he's making a bet. So funny. Okay, I'm going to look back looking your face. I was using around. What's he looking for? His make-up.

He's making a big spot. Yeah, he's making it. So funny. Okay, I'm going to look back at your camera. So back up. Here we go. So begun. He's out.

She's out. Still sad about it. So 10 chefs remain to compete in the ultimate culinary showdown. $250,000 in the title of top chef world star all forever. Universe not just America America but everywhere. So we started off with gobri. He's very sad that Bagonia's gone. As am I, because I think Bagonia was

maybe my favorite or second favorite. And although I think I love like everyone on this cast, but like gobri was saying, oh, my best friend is gone. And I was on the bottom with her and I'm pretty much devastated. Although I feel like he's devastated literally every week by something that happens.

It's like they took a different road to get to where they were supposed to go and he wanted to take a picture on the first road and he's like, I didn't get to take a photo of that. He's definitely like that fun, like that really fun gay friend we all have that then just starts crying. You know, I quite admit it,

you're the life of the party. He's like, I get that always be the life of the party. He's like, I've got a cry too. Like last week, go like, oh yeah, it's holidays, we're all making holiday food. What's your memory? And he's like, I didn't get to feed my dad before he died

or whatever it was. So it was like some horribly sad, like passed away father's story. And they're like, okay, well, pep it up, okay? Yeah, he definitely posts sad Facebook statuses, I'm sure. I'm sure he's so fun and sweet, but then he has very serious reviews of movies. Diana Lads work.

The rhinoceros comments. Diana. On like anything I've ever seen. It is a tour de force. It is a movement. It is an experience. And if you do not see it, then your life will forever not be rich because of it. I feel like he boasting that are like, do you think I didn't hear you? But I did.

And then people are like, what? Who are you talking to? What happened? Big hosting. Who hurt you? Yeah, vague sad posting. Like, right, when you think you're going to always be with your best friend, you find out suddenly, you're not.

I'm like, what? Who's your best friend? You know? Yeah, I feel like he probably does a lot of, well, that just happened. And then he also does a lot of about last night. And also, maybe I did a thing. Yeah.

So he's crying and Amar's like, hey, hey, hey, don't let the feelings get in your head. Okay, look, I'm an old guy, you're a young guy. Well, you need us to go to Morocco. That's what you need. You still a guy a lot of years left when you go to Morocco, okay, because I went there once.

I need to tell you this, I'm the old man here, you know, I'm kind of rustic. And rustic, that's one way to put it. Are you allowed to call yourself rustic? Is that a thing that we call humans rustic? I thought that's what we call breads and, you know, decor. Rustic is when you make dishes with bad knife skills and no composition. You know

what I mean? That's rustic. And I think that is very amar. I've just never heard of a human call themselves rustic, you know? Because to me, that means like dirty. To me, it's just, yeah, I think of it as just like a positive spin on something on chemt, you know, like it's not, it's not a mess, it's actually rustic. Because I almost feel like when people say, oh, this dish is rustic, what they're really saying is, this is food made by peasants. And yes, we are fancy people,

but we can lower ourselves to the peasants by just reminding everyone that it's rustic. It's, you know, look, we're visiting the peasants right now. Well, in fine dining, that's definitely what it means when they say rustic. It's like, ooh, food for poor people. Let's see how the other 99% eats. Mmm, delicious.

And they go home and they're like, isn't that hilarious? Not one thing was shaped into a flower. Wow, isn't it crazy? They put all the food onto one dish and we had to serve ourselves. How rustic. Family style, what do you mean, wealthy? No, I'm sorry. That dish is food on them.

I'm sorry, has anyone written a piece about this bowl of rustic food in Time magazine? I don't think so. So, Martha's a thing. He turned it off. That was the thing, by the way. Well, I don't know, did you see that, that Padma, was a Padma, no, Ali Wong wrote, I don't know, did you see that, that Padma? Was a Padno alley-wong wrote,

I think it was that alley-wong wrote a big thing about Padma in Time Magazine or vice versa, but basically it was like, my dear friend, Adi Wong, has these things to say about me in Time Magazine. But I think actually it was Padma running about alley-wong, either way. I just saw that thing about it.

I just saw it like, the thing about Padma is her absolute sheer love for food. I met her one night on the New York streets of Manhattan and she was loving a piece of cheese so much and I said, that's my girl. And I was like, wow, Ali Wong, who's getting these articles written? Hey guys, what does Ali Wong really really think of Foddmark? Can we get somebody on that please? Great, thanks.

Like your time. Yeah, actually it was this thing. Allie Wong is in Time Magazine as one of the most influential people of 2023. Wow. Wow. And I don't know. So anyway, it has to do with Padman some way.

So we got for people who are liking her so beef. The camera. People say it's great. Yeah. Actually, they love it. So, well, I'm saying, you're not about gals. But enough about gals.

But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals.

But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. But enough about gals. My people are as much as I'm sorry. Sorry. My people are rustic over here. As much as I'd love to keep talking about beef, we don't have time to discuss gals per fume. Amara is basically telling us that when he turned 40, he went and told the whole staff of his kitchen, I don't have it in me anymore. but the chance to complete the chance to compete has made me feel 25 again. I was like, yeah, he's still seem like the same, same a more. I think a Mars like me like he hit 40 at like 13 and just stayed there. Right. Yeah. Well, you know, now that I'm 40, I feel like I'm 25 again in those beautiful years before I went to Morocco for the first time because I went to Morocco

I don't know if you know that so Gabri is like sitting there in like the stew area and like a fuzzy blue blanket and So he is like you'll look beautiful in this blanket and he's like I always look beautiful And then they start laughing and they all cheers him for being happy Gabri again So now we're back in London, we're at the hotel, people are brushing their teeth. We get a lot of teeth brushing on top chef in general, so this was a moment for that.

And then Sylvia is like talking to a sharp L, how he's doing and everything, and he's saying how he's never been in the bottom before. And she's like, I was only in the bottom for one challenge, you know, for the rice challenge, because you know, but they took girl. But they took girl, don't do right challenge well. And this is where I notice that Charbell for some reason becomes that guy that I guess

he's probably just working around the hallways or something and production's like, oh, you can shoot. Okay, you sit there. We need someone to intro this scene. So you sit there, anyone else? Hey, I found a potato in the hallway and still be like, oh, where? And they're like, okay, so just go over there and talk to Charbell would you? Okay, we need to ensure a scene because he does it again later in the episode

They're like we need somebody Charbell is just standing there bored every time ready to do the scenes So then there's like a knock on the door and so we look who'd that so they open the door and it's pad by hi I came to see your rustic living accommodations. Wow She does give them like the I cannot even believe I'm in the hotel where the contestants are staying. She's like Yes, it's me good afternoon, Sylia and Sarbel goes that is that is a surprise my quesit You think Sylia just came into your room to make small talk Julia and Sarbel goes, that is a surprise, my quesit. You think Sylvia just came into your room to make small talk for the hell of it?

And Padden was like, please, get your feather poor people, meet us downstairs, and guess what? You won't need our knives. Or in the case of Sarah, ban Joes. Hey, by the way, love your hotel room, but why did you put your bed in the living room part of it? Well, this is all it's we have no living room. Oh really? Sorry. Bye Love the way you decorate your foieee

Nice sweet So still we get so excited and she starts running to all the doors and she's like And excited and she starts running to all the doors and she's like Padma is boom walking down the hall where she's like oh hello world of poor people. It's me Padma locks me. Watch me walk away boom chick a boom chick. I was like damn that is the sexiest walk down the hallway of course I love's so sexy. So now everyone, don't come out of your hotel rooms all at once because we're going to use some of this footage on Tastes and Nation. This week we'll be talking about hotel food and what poor people eat when they go on vacation. Did you know there are people in America who sleep in foieas with beds inside them?

Do you know there's some hotels where they put all the furniture in the foyer and you can't even go into the living room suite part. So everyone's like, what's going on? I'm a God, what's going on? And Sarah's like, no knives, it's fine. I got my tooth. So they all head down to the hotel palm court.

And it's Padman. Tom, wow And it's Padman Tom. Wow, that's me, Tom. Can you believe it? Wow, chefs. Are you surprised to see us here at the Smotel 6? Smell's poor in here. Tom, are you wearing ode to your son or what? Well, Padman, we did just see you upstairs

so we're not that surprised to see you here. Quiet, okay, be very surprised. I'm here, amongst the pours. Okay, be very surprised. I'm here amongst the poor's. Anyway, for today's Quick Fire Challenge, someone has to find me a pad to stand on. Can you believe it? Look, my feet are touching bare ground. Terrible.

Also, I guess since Tom's been on this show for so long, he can get a pad too. Can we make it a couple of feet tall though, so he just doesn't look so Tom Cruise-ish? Today, we want you to partake in one of Great Britain's greatest traditions, not giving back antiquities. Ha ha ha ha ha.

So we see 15 minutes earlier, Dale and Bagonia are currently battling it out for spot in the competition. I'm like, oh, Dale, Dale. Dales made it this far. Come on. Today, you'll be doing afternoon tea or as Gail calls it all the time. Tea. She just loves her tea.

Oh, and don't worry. You won't be cooking this quick fire challenge. Thank God. It'll be. That's because it's already started 15 minutes earlier, which I guess you already said. Wow. Mm. Also, I have to say, this last chance kitchen

is not fair at all, okay? This is the challenge. They have to make afternoon tea towers, okay? Which is ridiculous. It has to have a sandwich, it has to have a scone, and it has to have a pastry, and they have like 45 minutes or some shit. How in the world, it takes me though, if I pre-cook for the week, you know, like where you

make all your ingredients and you just have to throw them together, it takes me 20 minutes just to put already cooked things in the same bowl. How do you do this? You cannot make a scone and a pastry and a sandwich. You can't. This was cruel. This was like very reality TV. And what I love though was that it's like, here's our challenge, competitive afternoon tea tower making,

and then like Bagonia and handlebars get out of their BMW in like slow mo as if they're like racing to the climax of Top Gun Maverick, you know, like, tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt tt t Shit, Adi, I'll be right there. N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n them out in what they call the bin. That's British for trash. Ah, thinking that you'd have a say in this. The winner, when not only win a spot back on top chef, the win, in-bunity courtesy of BMW. Now, how are you guys feeling? And Ali is like, personally, I don't want anyone to be back. We're happy we're at 10.

Yeah, but we can't get by with your personality the whole time. You know what I mean? Like, you don't have, you can't carry, I'm sorry, I leave, but you cannot carry this. So, sir, okay. Are you scared? They'll have to save some room in your foyer rooms. Sorry.

So, Dale. Sarah, I wish you could be in this competition, so you can make one of your famous fingernails, gons. Sarah, have you been having trouble sleeping as it's trained to adjust to a bed, as opposed to the back of a train going across America? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha.

So, but going there and there, we cut to them and they're like, I don't know if I've ever wanted something more. I'm super competitive. I started doing marathons after Top Chef and then we see him all like, ah, I call muscular and working out and I'll bra, super competitive. I started doing marathons after top chef and then we see him all like EWGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH just like, well, thanks for dropping that one, sir. Yeah, thanks for dropping that in a pastry challenge. You're a fuck. I don't want to eat anything he makes, okay?

I don't want someone who looks like that making my pastry, I don't trust him. No, I don't at all. So he's gonna, he's like, I'm gonna keep it simple and I'm gonna cook smart. So this is Dale's thing is that he does, he sort of games it, he's like Malarkey. He's not about pushing it, he's just about like,

what can I do, that's very simple, that I know I can succeed at. And like, it's not that mine will be the best, but just that other people will mess up more than me so I can say in the competition. Smart though, because they have an hour to do all of this and this isn't sane. So he's like, I'll do some muffins. While he does a bacon, grier, and chives gone, and eggs sell his sandwich. while he does a bacon, grier, and chives gone, and eggs sell his sandwich, which I mean, guys, it takes 15 minutes just to boil the egg. And longer, like probably 17 minutes, because you got to get the water boiling.

So that's like a 17 minute process, then you gotta peel the eggs. How are they doing this? I don't understand, I feel like this show cheats. This is the first time I've really felt like this show cheats. Yeah, this is wild. And Bagonia, she's excited about it.

She loves doing these kind of things. So she's gonna do a crab and seafood sandwich, which I'm just realizing now is the curse of this episode, the crab sandwich, and she can make a scone with a compote of beetroot and tomato. And she's gonna make an a-clair with chocolate. I was like, I don't feel like an a-clair. I don't think this is gonna be the smart move doing an A-Clear with chocolate. I was like, mm, I don't feel like an A-Clear. I don't think this is gonna be the smart move

doing an A-Clear right now. And as clear, you're gonna make a shoe pastry right now. You gotta make a pastry and you gotta fill it. And like it's like A-Clear's look, the prettiest A-Clear's look kinda messy. Okay, so there's no way these are gonna be pretty whatsoever. Yeah, and they have to cook and they're like own oven and be untouched. I mean, this is a lot. Okay, I was scared

Although you know I love a shoe. I love a yeah, I love an edible shoe So makes me want to say shoe shoe. I do shoe. I do shoe. I do shoe. I do I do Wow, did you hear that on the radio the free part of the free person's Hollywood bowl as we call it. Wow, what a rustic song about things that loud as food doesn't have. Salt and pepper.

Plants are meat. And not only are they meat, they're delicious, especially if they're from impossible foods. They taste like beef. Exactly. Impossible is making meat history this summer. Yeah, they are. Summer of Impossible. I am so excited to be spending time cooking my summer foods all that good stuff and

Guess what we can use impossible sausages, impossible brats. I mean, it's gonna be a great summer for impossible foods Impossible beef is made from plants and 19 grams of protein per serving and it's better for the planet and it's meat Plant meat correct.

Just head over to the meat aisle at your local grocery store. Grab some impossible beef or patties and get grilling. So, um, Bagonia's like still mad about getting kicked off. She's like, I made one mistake and I don't understand why I'm out even. I was one mistake. And that's top chef, Becky.

So then we go to tea time and the chefs, they're probably fancy music and the, the rustic chefs are pulling each other tea. Well, down to the sugar plum ferries plays. Wow, what a coincidence. This is the same song that plays while Gail Tipto his toes down to the freezer in the middle of the night, thinking no one can hear her slurped down Ben and Jerry's chunky monkey until 3 a.m. Wow, god, I love the sugar plump fairies. Too bad Gail ate them all.

Strange. Really ruined Christmas this year. They really shouldn't have put sugar on those fairies. They should have called it burnt rubber fairies, although I guess that probably wouldn't save the meether. That's her heart. They should have called that healthy food fairies. They've been totally safe.

They should have called it well dressed without crazy patterns fairies. She would have stayed far away. So, chefs, is there anyone you're hoping to see come back other than Santa Claus because that's face it, that's the only chance any of you are going to have a chance to get a decent outfit? Let me guess, Scrooge McDuck, yes, he really does have a vault with gold in it that you can swim in. Bless their hearts, they believed it. And the call's like, my mom always says, if you don't have something nice to say, then you shouldn't say it. Wow, your mother seems like a really laughy bitch.

My mom used to say, if you don't have something nice to say, be richer. My mom always said, if you don't have something nice to say, say it to Gail. My mother always said the same thing, yeah. So kitchen, begonias doing her compote of beetroot. And there's 20 minutes. And she's like, now I have to do a sandwich. And then Dale's mixing his scondo. And he's like, you don't wanna overcook it

because it's gonna be dry, but you don't wanna under cook it. Because then it'll be raw. Oh, thanks for the very basic. Yeah, thanks for the very basic lesson, Dale. Wow. Hey, everyone. You're in for a really nice treat.

Sarah is going to play the spoons, and we're all going to try to figure out what pop song she's playing. Go, Sarah. Tom's like, wow. Well, you know what? I'm going to tell you, this challenge is tough. I hope it's not too tough. I didn't tell Sarah to bring her teeth down

Oh, well, you know, they're gonna have to make 36 individual pieces and Buddha's like if you keep it simple You can do it, but if you don't keep it simple You're gonna be screwed in the end. Oh, by the way something about Buddha last week. I was saying don't make a wife based Dish because we're gonna lose. Like you lost the last time with that pasta. And a listener reminded me he actually won with his wife last year.

So I take it back, couldn't remember if you won or lost. Guess what? I was wrong. It's the same. I've passed it for the win. Wife-based pasta. So Bagonia is like rushing. She's like crazy right now.

And I'm getting very nervous for her because I love Bagonia and she's so talented. like crazy right now, and I'm getting very nervous for her because I love Bagonia, and she's so talented, and I can see she's being too artistic here, whereas Dale is just doing his triathlon bullshit. So, she's fun behind, and then she's making these like really terrible looking eclares, and Bagonia's like, I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it, I'm gonna do it.

Two minutes, Bagonia. Two minutes, until you've faded away, to obscurity stupid person. Where's your article in Time magazine? Ha. I really don't believe in self-coaching like that. Where you're going in, you can do it, you can do it, you can do it,

you can, I don't believe in that, because then when I don't do it, then I just never trust myself again. Like I'm mad in the coach and myself, you know? And then I get mad at the positive person, and then whenever the positive person in me tries to tell me something, I'm like, shut the fuck up, you fucking positive idiot.

You got to send to trouble last time with your stupid wife based pasta. Well, that's like when people get eliminated on reality shows and they say things like, you know what, like I may not have won, but at least I got to show my family that if you like work hard enough, you can do anything. I'm like, no, you can't do anything.

You didn't lost anything. Yeah, you didn't do anything. You got fire off the shelf. So, um, begone at first, I make it sound like she's just missing a plate, which I was like, thank god, because at least they can taste her stuff, you know, because obviously I want her over a stupid pale Dale. But, um, nope, she forgot the, she couldn't get the eclairs on. She falls over and all her plates break. And she's, the plates are break. So, um, no, she forgot the, she couldn't get the eclairs on. Well, she falls over and all her plates break. And she's, they played that break. So, uh, now she's like 30 seconds, porcelain's everywhere. She's a disaster and she's like missing some items.

So, of course, I mean, this shows so funny because they've got a million of these towers, but they always put the ones with the missing items. They always give them to the judges. So, they come on out and then Tom is like, he's like, huh? Uh, I think something's missing. Well, there's there's nothing there sort of like my Suns resume. It's not not a lot there just I guess gin and tonic. I guess that counts for some people nothing there So did everyone else get the middle plate because we didn't get a middle plate on this and badman goes no one did on this and Padma goes, no one did. He's, Padma, God.

So Dill presents his sandwich, which is an ex-salad sandwich. And Nicole's like, hey, salad, salmon composition, that's good. That's a good sandwich. So, slimy on slimy. That works. Hmm. Tower number one. Wow.

You know what? This scone is very tasty, but it's almost too fluffy. It tastes a little bit like a biscuit, which is I think what I think gals at when she ate her television. There's no jam on top of some of them. He misses the topping. And Amar is, Amar guesses correctly that this is Dale's. He, 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, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um Is this crap or is it tuna? Does this need a spoon? Could someone show me how to eat this?

I don't know how to eat it. I don't understand. And of course, I think this is supposed to be in a Claire. Uh-huh. And Tom's like, well, the dish is not made properly, so it just collapsed. This is what happens when you don't treat a Claire as well. They just collapse.

Like the economy would if everybody dropped out of school, like my guy, damn son, who's worth nothing. So there you go. Yeah. So Bagonia is really sad because she's like, what a dead, bladed safe, but maybe I can survive another day. It's like clearly that she's clear that she's not going to. So they come on out and Padma's like,

Dale and Bagonia, we've all voted and only one of you will be coming back to the competition. The vote is unanimous. You're both stupid. Sorry. By the way, I'd like to thank Tom for collecting all the cans. Well, well, well, Sarah, don't get defensive. You didn't say he's collecting cans. He said collecting cards, I'm sorry about that. All right, begonia, you're dumb, leave please. Well, you know, begonia is really tough, but I'd love to see you here,

while your time is done, so I get out of our faces. And begonia's like, well, you know, 27 years cooking, and I feel really disappointed because I went too risky, and I trust too much myself. Bye. Enough. Enough is literally, no one cares. Get out of here.

Go back to wherever you poor people come from. And Dale cries. He's like, oh, I know I didn't win anything yet. But still, I've never been on this emotional TV. Christ. And bad man goes, can I give you a hug? Oh, is that was gross. So not only did you win a hug from me, you I give you a hug? Aw, ew, that was gross. So not only did you win a hug from me,

you just won yourself immunity in the next immunity challenge. Let's hope I have it from whatever skanky virus is surely you're carrying around. Wow, that must have really hurt my skin, Dale. Wow, if you look closely at Dale's shoulder, you can see the skabies putting on a show. Lovely.

Oh, so now it's time to enjoy another British pastime. Denying alms to the poor. In other words, Sarah, stay away from our alms. Help! Sarah won't come for my alms! Now that you've had a little taste of tea time it's time to enjoy another British pastime. As the saying goes, life is no picnic, said not Alie Wong. So unfortunately I'm not going to credit the person who said it. But unless of course you're at one surprise it's going to be a picnic. I bet you

didn't see that one coming. For your elimination challenge, we want you to create a ready-to-serve picnic basket for our guests at High Poopy Castle. It's the famous home of the Crawlies in downtown Downton Abbey, which is a show. It was on television. That was the first show to steal the burrito. Hey, everyone except for Dale, please come up and draw a knife. Dale, please go to a decontamination tent. Thank you. Dale, but Dale, please go into the corner and let Dale lick off all the bed bags. Dale, please draw a tissue for all your tears. Thank

you. So what they're going gonna be in teams, right? Yeah, they have to make team picnic baskets. There's a team yellow and team blue. And so Dale gets to choose which team he's gonna be on because he has immunity. So he picks blue. And blue is Buddha, Sarah, Starbell, and some other people.

Yeah. and blue is Buddha Sarah Sarebel and some other people. Yeah, and Tom is like, you know, chefs, picnics, are usually casual and really informal, but we're headed to HighClear Castle, which is not a place where you get a Clair's Saregale, I don't know where she is, but I think she was concerned about that. So there's a campaign. It's funny because she's actually passed out in the back, high on the Clairs that she picked up off the floor. Well, we're known chefs like Danielle Balloude and Thomas Keller have heard of castles before.

So it's pretty cool that we're going to one. So congratulations, everyone. We're going to a big building. Congratulations, Chef Buyerty. You know what he left? Pignix. So he's famous. All right, let's go. Oh, and don't forget. It has to have a sweet component, okay? And perhaps like make sure that things are really casual.

You're going to shop at Fortinham and Mason, the official grocer of the queen, Alie Wong herself. Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, Alie and I go to Fortinham and Mason like all the time because it's just basically meant for her. Anyway, have fun walking my literal footsteps in my supermarket. You'll have the weight of Gail's cancels 200 pounds and then you'll get to go out and do other food shopping at Whole Foods where you'll have an additional 250 pounds.

Wow, throwing one of Gail's weenaces, am I right? You'll load your supplies into your BMW X3s and X4s and heads to the top chef kitchen where you'll have one out, one and a half hours to prep and cook and pack up your baskets. And then you'll take all of your baskets and dump them on Sarah's head. Tom goes, okay, well once you get to the picnic grounds there's no kitchen. So your food should all hold well at room temperature and patting us. Mmm, room temperature is so excited! Wow, I loved how that room temperature salmon worked out for us last week. Glareaging a whole challenge based off of it.

What a yummy room temperature egg salad sandwich you're serving me that was cooked the night before and left out. The fuck is this challenge? Good luck everyone. We'll see you tomorrow. I'm super excited for this challenge. Not. So Blue Team is Sarah Scharbell, Nicole, Victois, Buddha, and Dale.

And Buddha's like, listen, he's what we need to do. Stop thanking picnic and start thanking high-end canopies. No, start thinking picnic. It's a picnic. I'm sorry. I was very upset actually by the menus of both the scenes because, you know, we need like, where was the play on like a potato salad? Where was the play on like, you know, I do a big one.

So I don't fucking know. My mom would throw a sticker in my head and be like, you know, I do a big win. So I don't fucking know. My mom would throw a snickers at my head and be like, congratulations. Here's some peanut butter crackers in the snickers. Welcome to your picnic. My real favorite reference really is just like a potato salad. I feel like a picnic is like a potato salad and then everything else is just like sandwiches.

It is kind of funny ultimately that no one made a sandwich and then they later on had a sandwich challenge because they just knew the chefs would be too shuffee to actually resort to making sandwiches at their pick. Yeah. And so Sarah's like, well, I'm going to do a chill, broccolini salad. And Buddha's like, a salad. And she's like, well, not a real salad with broccolini. And she tells us, I really like Buddha, but we're completely different and everything we do. Okay. This is a conceptual challenge. I'm going to have to compromise, but we're completely different in everything we do. Okay, this is a conceptual challenge. I'm gonna have to compromise, but I'm just telling you,

if this was back home, he'd be under the crop dusters. All right. He'd be under the crop vegetables. What do they call them? Crop, crop, crop, it was like crop weeds or crop. Yeah, yeah, crop weeds. Crop covers or something like that. Crop, crop, Irop covers or something like that.

Crop Leads. I love Buddha being shocked at the idea of making a salad for a picnic. Buddha is like, I will not be making a salad. I'm going to make a Benoffi pie, but I'm going to be doing a little different. It's a classic English-Is-It featuring bananas with cream and the caramel sauce. So, hear me out on this one. I'm going to shape this banana flavored pie into a banana. I'm gonna shape this banana flavoured pie Into a banana. I was like there's the food that I know very little presentation Yes, and he goes I have a banana mold and he was like how many moles did you bring like for fuck's sake? How many extra suitcases are we allowed to bring to top chef my god seriously? so So now Tom the the German Tom, same thing. Okay, we need to do a vegetarian and a seafood and a protein. And whatever else

my brother would probably do without me. I'm going to do a Chepino, Stereo, Scare, Salad or Salad. That's what I'm going to do at Chepino. And I'm like, Chepino, I mean, I don't know, you do you, bro.ino. And I'm more like, ah, Chappino? I mean, I don't know. You do you, bro, okay? And I'm more decides he'll do dessert. So then, Charbell is thinking accrued a Tay, which sounds too simple for me, but it does it on Picnicchi.

Yes. And then, Cole's like, I'm gonna do a Tay on, on a tuna in a soya. Yeah, should we gonna do that. Mainly because it's a lot of the letters in my name. So, and then Victoir is gonna do, I can alone eat with smoked fish. And Sarah, like, Sarah's concerned

that there's two fish or whatever, but either way, whatever. They all go to the store, they've got 40 pounds to shop with, they decide to split it up that way. And Dale, meanwhile, Dale, he tells us that he wants to make sure everyone's happy and that he's like chipping in because like, you know guys 13 years ago, he was a very different man.

He was like a tyrant and we see him on top of the cat and up from 13 years ago. It'd be like, three of the plays, one chocolate, we told you, we told you six of the plays. Oh my god. Oh my god, he was that chef. That is, of course he is, because now he's with this steeped handlebar mustache and like over working out and all this. Of course that's he.

Selling a message that he's like chill now when you know that the same chef is 100%, not only is it 100% in him still, it's just like barely below the surface. Like we saw that a little bit on the challenge that he got eliminated with May. He was like very condescending to her. And now it's like of course, of course he has this inside of.

He gets that evil glint in his eyes. And after he's screaming about Suflay, someone goes, you don't have to freak out and he goes, don't tell me, hot ass. I was like, oh God, bring that one out, okay? Now that guy could be a fan of, bring him back. And if he's like, if I could talk to 20 year old Dale, I'd say chill out, okay? Now that guy could be a fan of, bring him back. And if he's like, if I could talk to 20-year-old Dale,

I'd say chill out, Dale. I'd say shave, okay? And keep shaving until you're 40-something. Just keep shaving. Yeah, so now they go to Fortinum and Putinum or whatever it's called. And it's like very fancy. There's like a door man there,

like everyone's in red tails, and they walk in, and it's all like, it's like my fancy. There's like a dormant there, like everyone's in red tails. And they walk in and it's all like, it's like my dream store. You know, I just like walk in, all these floors, I would just amble about it in and lots of fancy food, lots of caviar and fwagron truffles and Buddhist team is gonna get all the luck stuff. Yeah.

Pastries, candies, cheese, I mean, I was just writing down everything I saw. I was like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, and the cold guy to the meat and she's like, amazing. This is amazing. And the meat guy's like, me with the meat. She's like, both. And then the checkout guy that I just love the ridiculousness of this place that the checkout

guy is wearing like a red, red tails to check. He's just like a teenager, like most Chegokai. He's like a greasy teenager, you know, and then he has to wear tails too. It's like kind of the app-cott Center where they're like, welcome to fancy fly. The guy comes by with the broom and the thing that he's picking up barf on next table. So and then the big scandal is that Tom, German Tom spent $160 of the $200 they had budgeted for this fancy restaurant. So our fancy is supermarket. So there's like a side eye

is being given to him. Yeah, because he wants to make like a really fancy seafood thing. So he's getting all the seafood, which costs all the money, but he wants to make like a really fancy seafood thing. So he's getting all the seafood which costs all the money, but he's getting some betterness built up against him now. And Silvia needs to get chicken and he's like, no, you're not getting it here. You can get it with a whole food's money. Yeah. So Silvia is talking about picnics and she's like, in Poland, we have lots of nice firsts and nice places to go for picnics. and so I'm going to make chicken moulade and then put it in the first and you have to find it. It'll be beautiful. She's making something of boric and she's like it look like muffin but it is savory.

But then you put ice cream on top and sprinkles and then pork. And then after you add the pork, you know, you fry it deep fry, and then you add some salt, hot dog, and then some chocolate rice. I'm like, what are you making? I don't know, it was bonkers. I did not know what was going on. It's time for commercial. It's time. Hi, I'm Michael Patrick King, host of the official Max Companion podcast, and just like that, the writers room. Each episode, members 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, starting June 22nd on Max, and listen to and just like that, the writers room on Max or wherever you get your podcasts. cash. For a crapence commercial. So then Nicole's making her new swas with salmon because salmon will travel better than tuna. And then more intrigue with Tom because he's just getting tons of seafood and he's like, well, you know, seafood costs money and you know, I made a vegetarian dish. So obviously he doesn't need 50 pounds, okay? Does that the end of the day. I should be okay. Yeah, and

Gabri has to put away his fancy paper bags. He got some like, because I guess I have to buy stuff to serve all of this too, because one team had really nice Tupperware stuff and then one team had really busted ugly Tupperware stuff. So I guess that had to be in their budget too. I know that that was the Queen's Tupperware. So now they have to go make this stuff in an hour and 30 minutes. Yeah, they go to the top chef kitchen and they're all like running in there and then Ali just like jumps over the counters. And I did not understand the point of that, but it was like a very ostentatious thing to do. And then he like almost like lands on someone, I was like, oh, sorry, sorry. Stop, don't jump over the counters.

Walk around, walk around, sir. So now they're all making them a char bell. It's like making it screwed a taste. Wonder if he'll be able to get them done in time. And he's saying that it's super simple, but it's going show confidence because, you know, he doesn't think anyone else would dare do something so simple. Yeah. And Ali is making momara,

which is smoky, spicy dip, and I don't know. I don't know, this is where everybody's like, here's what I'm making, here's what I'm making. Here's what I'm making. So then Tom's doing a bunch of crazy stuff. He's like, well, I have to make, you know, you would like to put some olive oil on the thing, but you don't want the olive oil to make a taste to olive oil. So I'm doing olive oil dust.

So then tomorrow it's going to be olive oil. I don't want your olive oil dust. That sounds nasty. I don't want that. I feel like this is not a great direction. Then tomorrow is saying that he's never served a picnic and he's never been to a picnic and he's never made a picnic. Which is crazy. Can you go, can you be a chef and go that many years without ever having gone on a picnic?

Are you saying picnic? Which is cute. Is that like a little way to say it now? I don't know. I just assumed that was his accent. Oh, no, I think Sylvia says something like Amara, what's your experience with Pikni? And he's like, I've never been to a picnic I've never been invited to a picnic. I don't know if it was cute, whatever. I'm gonna call it picnic now So Sylvie's like, oh, you are picnic virgin Oh, picnic version. Did anybody hear this? Oh God, I wouldn't golden potato They've only ever heard of, they've only ever heard this. Oh God, I win Golden Potato. So Mar was talking about how he's gonna make caramel flan

because his mom would make it, I guess, and she was like the rock of the family and she took care of the dad, like his dad, and then, so it's just like personal flan. And then Victoria was making a flagrum moose with a catching flan. There's some catching flan. That's the most catching flan I've ever seen.

Yeah, yeah. So then Sarah's like, I love a picnic. I mean, this dish tastes like a picnic in Spain. And it's like, you eat this salad, and you want to lay it on in your blanket and make love. Or a quilt if you're in Pradooka, a quilt city capital of the world. More like a resting, stupid capital of the world.

Sorry, continue. Yeah, Pradooka's a quilt capital of the world. More like rustic stupid capital of the world. Sorry, continue. Yeah, Paduka's a quilt capital of the world. So, well, at least quilts was sperm on them. It's a food. Use quilts. Paduka's the home of quilts that have been used and picnics that have been fucked on. So, that's something.

Tell me, is it easy to tie your quilts up with all your earthly possessions inside and attach it to a stick? Just wondering. So funny how Paduka quilts can be things that you make leaven, things you can eat food on, and roofs over your head all at the same time. Wow, Sarah. Wow, it's like one of those four-year hotel rooms you guys have been sleeping in. So, they call it quilt city, am I right? So then Tom comes, says, hey, chefs. So, hey, Nicole, what do you got there?

Is that salmon? Well, that's salmon. You're going to make a salmon in the sauce? Well, you're going to be able to cut that salmon? Well, yeah, salmon. That's a crazy ingredient. Do we using? I don't know if she's going to be able to do it.

How are you going to deal with that salmon? Nicole, whoa, you're going to use salmon? Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's like a nice sauce on. Boom with salmon, whoa, whoa. That's like a, that's like a Niswa salad. But with salmon, it's a tuna. That's like serving curry, that's a condiment. You get serve curry, that's a condiment.

What do you think you are? What do you think, what do you think? That's next thing I know, Niswa says, gonna become a, what makes aologist? Doesn't make sense, how does a salad become a mixologist? But somehow, everything good, trims then. Isn't that, trims into mixologists exologists why why is that a good that way? I'm Buddhist like I'm gonna make a banana pie Tom's like really let me guess you

bought a banana mold? He's like go to banana mold yeah I figured since silly it starts describing her dish and she says it's a traditional English dessert with chicken in the middle and Tom is going to... Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha So I'm not making fun of other cultures. It's just that one particularly sounds hilarious. It's a dessert with chicken in the middle. And even Tom is like, oh, all right, well, you know what? You enjoy that.

I'm going to try and make salmon a soya, make sense of my head. I can't wait to try your chicken meringue. Lady. So then Tom goes up to Tom and he's like, so, you make your tomato salad? He's like, yeah, I make it tomato salad. I'm using the high-trot tomato tomato cap, tomato vinaigrette, crab shrimp,

caviar, tomato gelet, I'm also wearing a hat that is made in a tomato farm. It's very adorable. And also, I'm going to dress as a tomato tomorrow for the unveiling of the picnic. You have time for all that? He's like, uh, yeah, I think I have time for it. So he tells us, well, you know, I think both teams are fine. It's going to come down to execution. Nicole's doing the swap with, huh, sure. Huh, hold on. We're going to have to, you're going to have to have that laugh out.

Hold on. With salmon, which is, you know, traditionally that has tuna and oil. Okay. Did Tevia, you know, put his arms up in the air and look at a salmon and sink tradition. No, he was singing that to a tuna. Okay, that's just how it is. I like silly. I don't know. She's making a chicken ralad and almost made here with like a lemon icing and I just I'm a little concerned that Gal may have gotten into her ear. I know, like don't take every recommendation here. Okay. I'm like, don't take every recommendation here, okay? It was so a lot of ambition, not a lot of time. So he is, let's see.

Oh, so Tom messes up. Tom the chef, this is very confusing having two Tom's. Tom Tom, Tom Tom Tom Tom Tom Tom. Especially when we're mad at so many Tom's right now on Bravo, you know? So Tom is like, I wanted to do something complicated. And my first training breaks. So I have to strain again, which is fine, because you know, I just if something goes wrong, you do it again. Any kicks a box

across the kitchen. Yeah, it's like very, very upset. So then, then he got out of himself, he's like, no, I will not be angry. I'm just going to, I'm just going to focus and I will not be deterred. And you know what, if the whole kitchen burns down, then I will say my brother did it. Yeah. So then everybody starts packing up the stuff.

And Nicole's like, guys, he was doubting my salmon. Why don't they give us these challenges and then doubt the salmon? I mean, you're making a nice one with a salmon. I don't understand the logic. It's like being the child of a famous chef and decided to become a mixologist. Why would you do it?

Why? Like a Tom. He just can't let the mixology go today. He's just by the whole clock is just shaking with Tom's fury today. So Tom is making a lot of gelatinous things, but he's missing his tomato gel. And he's all bummed about it thinking that's gonna ruin it.

Let me tell you what's gonna ruin it. The gel squares of tomato tasting things, okay? That doesn't look good. Room temperature chop, you know. The fish, the fish that was made yesterday and has been room temperature by the time it arrives. Okay. I really like Tom, but this one, no. No.

So then, yeah, so now it's all like last minute putting things into the baskets and Godbury's got some tostadas that are last, just rushing to get in the basket and then they get it all in. So now we're at the hotel, Sarah's pumping, and you know, Sarah's talking about how strange it is that like, everything's pretty much done. The food's just sitting there, they just have to serve it. And then Nicole tells us the story about why she cares

about winning top chef, it's because she's going through the adoption process, and she wants to, there's a child waiting for her and Vietnam and she wants to be a mom and so she just needs that like last installment for, you know, because it's an expensive process. Oh my God, that's like, that's like so crazy to think that a child is waiting for you to win, Tom Chef, and so much pressure on the child.

Like there's a poor child, like little orphan Annie is sitting out there, just like, please don't, please don't fuck up this. Please just put regular tuna in the new swas. Just let's not reinvent the wheel. I know, she's like mama, future mama, tuna, tuna. So I thought she was going home. I thought this was the kiss of death. When she had her like emotional scene about adoption,

I was like, okay, this is it for Nicole. I think that saves them on these shows. I think when they have the emotional thing, it kind of saves them. Cause like Gabri, last week had the dad thing, you know, that was really sad, his dad had passed away and that was sad and he got saved. I don't know, he should have been saved necessarily.

And then you've got this, like the adot. I think it's when you don't have a story. It's like, what did Begonia care about? Nothing. She's like, I fucking hate my family. So I don't see their asses on Christmas anyway. I just hang out the next day and have food with my friends, who that's what I choose to be with.

And like, fuck you, you don't have a sad story. Get out. Get out of here. This is too emotionless. So now you saw a PA like combine, just flip over her tray of the clairs. They're like, yeah, sabotage it. So now everyone's arriving at a high-clarer castle.

And in Mars, I've never been to a castle before. I'm like, well, a lot of first picnics castles, very exciting for him. And all the judges are heading to tables and Padma's like, wow, it's beautiful. And Gail's like, it's lovely. Beautiful. I said beautiful first gal.

Come on. Be faster next time. And Nicole's like, oh my God, I feel like I'm in Downen Mabbie. You are. It's where they shut down Mabbie. And Sarah's like, my mother's a huge fan. As I'm leaving Paduca, she said, go to Downton Abbey and wash this quilt. Don't just leave this quilt here, Sarah.

It's disgusting. There's flies on it. Wow, look at Sarah. I'm furling a quilt in front of where Mrs. Padmore normally sets. Great. I've had many wonderful picnics in my life, but never with a backdrop like this,

just kidding, I've been here like 10 times. Hey, this is like pretty standard picnic for me in Alibong, just saying. So now we meet the judges, Judge Max Halley, who has his thing is, Max is a picnic book, that's his book. And what's funny is that he looks like Lord Grantham. I love that they're like, well, we're doing a down-nappy challenge. So let's get someone who looks like the dad. All right, I guess this guy Max will do.

He has a goofy children's book called Max's picnic basket. But it'll do. He looks like Lord Grantham. Yeah, I like it. I like it a lot. And he wouldn't put tuna. And it needs one sound. Yeah.

First team is coming. Hello, chefs. Please pass your baskets on the bench. Let's unpack the baskets and see what these stupid poor people put in them. So they start them. And this is the team. I think this team should win automatically

because they have the cute Tupperware. Yeah, we're like wooden tops. It's really nice. Yeah, so first we have Aliah's Mammara with the Garden Greens and Walnuts. And then Max Halle is like, he's like, delicious, absolutely wonderful. The way he got all the flavours mixed in together, it's like a picnic in my mouth right now. I mean, it's kind of big, but that's okay. I have a big mouth. Ha, ha, ha. And Tom is. That was self-deprecation. David Chang taught me that.

So Tom's like, well, the Chippano salad with pickled salad, seafood, marmalade, caviar, chips, white tomato, glaze, what the fuck is this supposed to be? I'm not really sure what this supposed to be, anybody knows. It's like Jello. It's like Jello with tomatoes. So that's weird. And Max is like, this is lacking. It's lacking in acidity. I'm seasoning. Mm-mm, mm-mm, bad boy. Bad boy, very bad.

Does anyone have a tranquilizer gun? This poor guy's losing his mind over here. So there's a gap around his face. So there's smoked fish or stada with cucumber and compressed watermelon and sticky pesto. No, spicy, spicy pesto. And Padma's doing this thing. I'm like, so is this a testata?

How is it? How does it work? Do I need a spoon? How do I pick up food? Well, this really did need directions with pictures on it because he just gave them a bunch of little containers. And he's like, no, here's what you do. First, you take the toastada and then you put on

the cucumber and then you go over here and get the watermelon and you put that on and then you can top it with some pesto and then you kind of try to roll it up but it's a toastada so it breaks so it doesn't cause any plates and then get a fork. It's like, it's too much, babe, it's a picnic. So do I use a spoon or not? I'm so confused. not. I'm so confused. So let's see. So next. And she's like this, I'm making this word. And it means what? Borek. What is it? Borek. So Borek. And she's like, I make with chicken and dually and pistachio, a lemon poset. And Pam goes, wait, this tastes like lemon curd. Hello, excuse me,

poor person, I believe you accidentally put some lemon curd, I might chicken. Could you send this back, please, thanks. And gilcos, this is an amazing. Wow, you've confused the garbage disposal. That's literally never happened. Congratulations, you get an honorary medal just for that, so we. So then Amara does his raisin flon with pineapple and Tom's like, oh, no bubbles. It's a good sign.

Because you know, like a bad, bad flon has bubbles. All right. It's like good, classic, traditional flon. Not like niece was without Trina. Who would put niece was without Trina? That's like having bubbles. Hey, you're flon. I have to That's like having bubbles here, Floon. I have to say, I make a lot of Floon.

I've been making Floon for years and years, and I've never been afraid of bubbles with Floon. Is that weird? Do you think I'm just a Floon master, or is that just a Tom thing? Do you think Tom just had bubbles one day in his Floon and like, it's tortured him ever since, and now he's afraid to ever get bubbles and Floon again? Because I don't know.

Well, congratulations, Ronnie. Congratulations on your rustic flan with bubbles in it. Yeah, look at that. Rustic person can make flan better than you. So Tom's like, well, your mama taught you well, huh? And Pat, I was like, quite an interesting menu. Bubble is flan. I'm not sure how I feel about that. And, uh,

Tom's like, well, I'm nervous because I always feel like I'm not good enough. And then Tom did the usual reaction, which is, oh, thank God you have a bigger brother to take care of you. Am I right? Well, you know what? There are two things out of this whole, all, it's a whole menu that really work in the context of picnic, the first and the last. I completely agree with you, picnic master. That's wonderful. Now, who are you? Why are you here?

Flan keeps well. It's brilliant. And then a guy named Roger is like, yeah, the other words were, the others were just quite difficult and some just didn't work at all. Tom's like, well, you know, there's usually a pronounced orange flavor to Chepino. And at this time it was just, you know, Jello. It's like, you know, I love my Jello pudding pop or whatever. It was bad.

I shouldn't have brought up Bill Cosby right now. I really, that's how bad this Chepino was. That's how bad it evoked Bill Cosby. So there you go. Wow, Tom, how awkward for you. And for this two at this town's person who's here talking about picnics. Oh. Anyway, Gail, what do you have to say?

Well, it was weighted down. It was so weighted down that I lost the seafood completely. Oh yeah, yeah. So you don't want to take a stab at this? I feel like we got a lot to work with anyone and want to go with it. No. That's like when you rode the bus home from Red Lobster and it was so weighted down that you left the seafood on it. Wow. I also found like it was just too wet, like gal after eating a burrito. Like gal when she sees a few sriracha bottles open and thinks that there's free sprinklers in the neighborhood.

and she sees a few suraja bottles open and thinks that there's free sprinklers in the neighborhood. Like Gail, when she takes a sledgehammer to a soda fountain and jumps around in it, like it's a fire hydrant in the summer. It's not a bad or sour Gail. How many times have I told you? Gail, you're not in the coming of age movies. Stop it. So then Tom's like in Sylvia's whatever the fuck that was and all ideas like yeah, that was quite the Emancipation confused me a bit and

Stu's like the to start a with fish. Oh that to start it didn't do well did it and And Gale says well, there was no way to pick it up and eat it without a crumbling apart. Oh, yeah Just like every time you try to eat past repair a scale crumbling apart. Oh yeah, just like every time you try to eat past repair scale. And Tom's like, yeah, the yellow team overcomplicated things and that did not make it better. And Tom pops some champagne and Padman goes, oh, thank God. Wow, we finally have some not flaney, also known as bubbly. So now it's the blue teams turn. Hello blue team. Would you nervous about your food traveling from the kitchen to the someplace else to the

BMW three and fours into the picnic basket into here. This is where Dan Abbey was filmed, starring Ali Wong. Hey. Is anyone? Oh, Pummaw, I don't think she was in it. Quiet Tom, she's famous. She was in everything. Well, are you guys nervous about your food traveling? Does anyone want to cry? We haven't re-identified any reliable cries this season, so if anyone wants to just step

forward and just let some tears go down their cheeks, how valid I'm ready for you. I would suggest Sarah because Sarah, your food has traveled actually more than you ever have, so that's something. Oh, look at Sarah, dabbing her eyes with that quilt. So Dale did a classic devil duck egg with sturgeon caviar and Victoria did a fwagraw cabbage roll thing and What what is this are you supposed to pick this up? Are you supposed to cut it? What am I supposed to do? Little road thing. I'm so confused. How does it work? Do I need a spoon? Which side of the spoon? Fucking Padma, what do you fucking think you do with it? You pick it up. It's a roll Okay, but we're it down happy

So now Charbel has his Cruditez and his dips like he's got hummus and Bob Ignition truffle and Padma's like wow I like your little Crudite better reminds me of the hotel room. I surprised you in earlier today. Wow. Please, I'd like to go to sleep on salivary. I love your crudite bed. Gail has a snickers bed. So. Oh, yeah. Okay. Oh, here comes Nicole. Oh, yeah. Oh here comes Nicole. Oh yeah, she comes. Yeah, it's a Nicole with a gaping wide mouth open smile. I don't really understand. Do you ever

get flies in your mouth Nicole? Hey Nicole, are you serving us a very standard new swath salad, which obviously must come with tuna in it? And she serves her salmon, new swath salad. And Max is like, is that Fidikratch? Full of this Niswas? Is that last one? No, no, Steve, but you're supposed to pour it on your head. I mean, for crying out loud, I don't understand how to use the spoon, but at least I know what to do with the

vinaigrette. It's a solid. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was waiting for the cheese. And then Buddha serves his Bonafi banana thing and Max is like, what's this? This looks like a banana. Hold on, hold on. It tastes like a banana as well. What an option is going on here. This is insane. Wow, well I'm just like very happy that they use all these fancy ingredients despite being on a tough budget.

Yeah, no normally when you go to dinner at Gales House, it's pretty much just like a salad composed of all those In those by things you get at the check out line of Ross, so crunchy and boring. Sarah, what was your biggest challenge and she's like, budget? I'm sorry, that question was meant for Gales wardrobe, but you answered correctly, Sarah. Thank you. So the judges are talking and Tom's like, oh, you know, this team, you know, for the blue team, you know, this is always your eat, you know? Yeah, that's what Gail says about construction paper.

Just goes right in the mouth. And someone says the salmon, Niswa was great. And Tom's like, no, I don't wanna like it because I don't, you know what, salmon, Niswa, salmon. Wait, hold on, say, say, Niswa, Niswa was great. And so I was like, no, I didn't want to like it because I don't, you know what, salmon, Niswa, salmon! Wait, hold on, say, say, say, Niswa, Niswa. Now say, Sam, so I can't even say it! It doesn't go together. But I liked it anyway.

It was pretty good, you know? It was pretty good. We're good, we're good. We're good. Chef Sam's charred broccoli was quite tasty, but maybe slightly too big. Well, that didn't stop, Gael. I. I mean that broccoli you could have built a broccoli house and Gail would have eaten it with one bite. And then the rich in sweet but very

thoughtful dessert and someone's like oh great to look at not great to eat. I was like yeah it was too sweet. That was too sweet. I mean that was like if you put a tuna and a Niswa, it would just be ridiculous. God, I'm all about salmon and Niswa now. I vote for salmon and Niswa, that's it. Well, we all agree that that was probably one of the worst desserts we ever ate in our lives,

but I'm glad, Gal, you found that it was a beautifully thoughtful dessert. Thanks for being on this show, Gal, really helping a lot. Seems we have a clear winning team here, and it's not Gail's clam. Let's bring them back out here. So anyway, hi. So judges table. So some dishes stood up better than others. But we did have an overall favorite team and our favorite picnic meal belonged to Anchalaab Merkel.

Get on out here Anchala, great work. Team, just please go stand in the sun and slowly rot, like all of the food we ate today. And Buddha's like, we're so happy. We wanted to focus on luxury. And Tom's like, you did a solid job. It wasn't over, chef, at all. And that's something coming from the guy It's like, we're so happy, we wanted to focus on luxury, and Tom's like, you did a solid job. It wasn't over-shuffed at all, and that's something coming from the guy who brought a banana

mold in a suitcase. So... Yeah, and by not over-shuffed at all, I mean, it was completely over-shuffed. She put salmon in a nice wall. So, uh, Southern Tom's talking about like, uh, Pat, oh, sorry, excuse me, I'm talking now. Dale, you're back in the game with immunity, but you still gave us something that felt perfect for the occasion. A poncho.

Thanks so much. That food just goes flying out of Galesmouth sometime. So they loved Victoires because Gale could pick it up, but it also had Fouacara and M&M, the way she ate it, telling you, you can't add your own ingredients to something and then judge it in the comment scale. Tom's like, well, it ate well, it ate like Gail. Okay, that's enough. Can we just get through your judging?

I would have just bled she can't much more. That's it, that's it. You know what? It needed more blanch, like the Golden Palace. It was like the Golden Palace needs more blanch. That's it. You know what? That needed more blanche. Like the golden palace. It was like the golden palace needs more blanche. That's my no. I feel the same way too. And I was so confused on how to eat that. I mean, I'm still thinking back at that tiny, rolled piece of cabbage and thinking, do I need chopsticks? Do I need a fork lift? How does that get into my mouth? One of the greatest mysteries of the season. How do I pick this up?

One of the greatest mysteries of the season. How do I pick this up? Nicole, I really loved your new swath, salad. I loved how crispy the beans were. I loved the vinaigrette, and I loved how angry Tom got about the fact that there was salmon in a new swath. Who was salmon? Who was a swath? Who was it?

Sarah, your broccolini salad had a shark-cudery flavor to it, which I loved. Yeah, Buddha, I loved your dessert, too. And the guys like to create that 90 minutes, I'm gonna have to ask you how you did that in another day, because that was a banana tasting dessert that was shaped like... Hold it! Banana! Banana! Sick!

It was sick, as the kids would say. It was absolutely dope. Well, I would have loved to have had that banana dessert, but no one tells me how I'm supposed to eat it. I just saw Tom's like, well, I was on the sweet side, but nice job all around. Even though I totally distanced you behind your back right now and acted like you were gonna lose this whole thing because I hate bananas and thought you just was too sweet. So, you know, I'm a fakie. I'm a fakie-making, okay? Waking fake. That's why I'm auto. Well, today the winner gave us a really bright and flavorful dish. It was seasoned well and a made-tom go crazy. Nicole, Canada smile. Wow, Nicole. Not only did you have our favorite dish on this team, but you just won yourself $10,000 from our friends at BMW, the Ritz Cracker of Cars.

It has a matter of fact, you got so much money, we're actually awarding you a baby. Please bring out the baby. The baby is driving towards you in a B.M. Do not hit Nicole, baby. Oh, unfortunately, your baby is going to have to hide out in town because your father's ashamed of it. Wow, this really is like being in doubt, Naby. So, so, congratulations. The farmer is raising your baby and no one will ever know. Congratulations. The farmer is raising your baby and no one will ever know. I love that there's just so many parallels. You know in the Bible there was a baby that everybody was trying to kill. I think it was like King something.

What was it? I think it was. It's in your earls, it's in your earls, but it's in the old days. Yeah, they put most, I mean they live in the little, they put most in a basket. They put in the basket. Yes, and they fell in temperature. They put in the river. And then when people found him, they found Moses in a, in a picnic basket. And now Nicole won this picnic challenge

and is getting a baby. You guys is biblical. This one is biblical, okay? Wow, so exciting. Next we're gonna have to enjoy the 10 plagues, aka gales falling from the sky. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Gales are the best in the leagues.

Ha, ha, ha, ha. I mean, when those frogs come tumbling out, she just sets up a bag and just says, here we come for dinner. I've never seen so many frogs caught with somebody's mouth. It was amazing. Ha, ha, ha, ha. It's like bobbing for apples with frogs and jumping instead.

So now, yellow team, come out here. You had our least favorite dishes of the day. Your dishes were about as appetizing as that story that Sarah told about come quilts in her town pedicone. Okay, trick question. How was yesterday and today for you? Let's start with Sylvia. Sylvia, what was today like? Did you wake up today and say, oh my God, I'm serving the judges chicken with lemon curd on top or did you just think it was a smart idea still? And Sylvia, you know, she acts all like sweet, you know, but she does not give a fuck.

Like she goes straight for Tom's throat. She's like, we organize all together, the budget, and then some people took more money than other. I used the cheaper ingredients to help my friends. I was like, oh, snap. Oh, I love that. Although I don't think that still would have affected anything if she had made her lemon curd out of nicer

ingredients. I know right. She's like, I could have gotten more expensive chicken to put in the middle of a lemon curd muffin. Who spent the most money in Tom's like, I did. You did Tom. You did. He spent the most money.

He is rich. He might even be famous. Guys, let's make him a judge with us. Guys, have a question. Can you tell us who took the most money from Salman Rushdie? Guilty. Now who took the most from your team? Tom, shame on you. So, Pam, Mrs. Enmer, any ingredients you couldn't get? Were there any ingredients that none of you could get because of this budget? And Tom's like, no, we got everything that we wanted.

You be quiet. I'm not talking to you, Tom, with hair. Anybody else want to complain? Sylvia, you have a face on you. Say it. No, we didn't, we didn't, you know, we didn't get what we wanted. And he was like, Sylvia, is that true? Yeah. Harder. Sylvia, did you mean to be so quiet in this moment? Right amount, go for it Sylvia, we're all gonna watch. Well Tom said he needed the seafood so we'd let him go first with his seafood. Ah, so what seafood did you buy there, Mr. Huh? What kind of seafood was that?

He's like shrimp crab and caviar too. And Adam was like, well I thought there was some beautiful highs. I mean Ali, your mama was stunning, perfectly seasoned, and the freshness of that lettuce wrap. I mean, you know, it was just laid out in such a way that I knew what to do. Pick up the lettuce and put it in my mouth. I really appreciated the instructions you've included with it. I don't mind.

Thank you for not making it a tidy row like stupid Victoir. And then they really liked Amara's flan and Tom was like, yeah, it was a great version of flan. I mean, it was cooked at the right temperature and some chefs would turn up the heat. Well, then when you turn up the heat, you get bubbles on the outside. And that's a pit of flow of flan.

You can't have bubbles in your flan. It's like having one-step-sidling flan. In your news, was. You can't have bubbles in your fun. It's like having one-step-settle fun. In your nudes, was. Hoop-pots-7 in their fun. But it worked. It worked.

So it goes like, yeah. Let the bubbles out. Woof, woof, woof. Gabri, what did you do to that fish piece? Because I got a little piece, but the construction didn't really work, right? Would you agree? Because the tustata was delicious, but then it was thin, and then when you put thick fish on top, it really isn't easy. And Tom's like, not your best work. And you know what?

It really didn't pack the flavor. Well, Gail did. She's actually wore pancakes to breakfast this morning. Have you ever seen a pancake who lot before? Bazaar. Sevia, I didn't really understand your whole dish. I mean, once I put the lemon sauce on it, I almost thought I was having dessert. Like, didn't even need a spoon. How did I eat it? I ate nothing today, guys. This was so not borac.

This didn't remind me of borac, all stupid. Listen, I know borac, because my dear friend, Ali Wong, and I often go to the Borek factory. Yeah, it's a popular place that only we're invited to. And so we know our Boreks. I love telling Polish people, they don't know what Borek means, stupid Polish person. And Sylvia's like, well, actually Borek means water.

So that is why it has the sauce and oh well I appreciate you clarifying the reason that there was a sauce unfortunately the sauce was bland so I'm going to be calling this board egg because that's what I look at gal wow gal congratulations you turnedorek into board Yuck. Congratulations. Wow, Gail, you're really getting good at this after 20 seasons. So Tom's like, yeah, it was like a sugar-sweet lemon. Or the top of a muffin, and muffin was dry.

It wasn't a good dish. I'm sorry to say it. It's like the time my son suddenly decided he wanted to cook me eggs. After spending years, I just said, I'm just, I said, loaded it under me. I wasn't a good dish. I'm sorry to say it. It's like the time my son suddenly decided he wanted to cook me eggs. After spending years as an accelerant, it's like, Lordy, go under me. Oh, I wasn't a good dish. Could have been better. Well, Tom, the money you spent on the caviar, you could have thrown it in the trash, you know? You couldn't even taste it. And I hear from your teammates that you spent too much money. So you didn't just waste your money. You wasted their money too. And that's, uh, that's unforgivable. Uh, can I get a, uh, uh,

thank you. Um, so Graham tells them that they should have just gone simple and they would have all been off better. And Padman was like, Sylvia and Tom, you had at least favorite dishes and one of you will be going home to heaven after we shoot you when you lose just not yet. And of course, like, before, uh, before you leave, I'm going to need one of you to take these boxes to my car. I can't hold them. So Pammah goes, come with me. And Sylvia is like,

it is scary to follow Padma because yesterday she knocked on my door and said, have you ever tried rice? And I said, I'm potato girl. And she said today, you eat rice. So she's scary. And so I'm like, well, I'm glad it's me in the bottom because I feel very disappointed with my dish. So I will do it if I need to do. I can take it like a man. So we see two tents set up and to find out the end, we have to go watch last chance. Kitchen. Yes. So we arrive in last chance kitchen and Tom was like, for the first time ever on Top Chef, two chefs on the Brick of Elimination, we're gonna battle out on a final cookoff. See you stays in the blue competition! I'm like that's literally happened so many times, but that's fine.

The two of you will be facing off head-to-head right now. This will be determined, this will determine who's staying and who is actually looting losing their head. And Tom's like, for your cookoff, we wanted to give you one more chance with the classic picnic item. All of you were too stupid. Do you even think about presenting to us today? I mean, it's so obvious. I say how much?

For crying out loud. No, Gail, it's not a baby. Put the baby back in the picnic basket and hand that over to Nicole. That was her prize. Other baskets, people, other baskets. Chefs, I know it's been a long day being around so many famous people, but we wanted to give you one last chance to save yourself. The two of you will be facing off head to head right now. Each one of you has to find a beautiful gift card for dresser.

I don't know what I'm saying. I can't do it anymore. Lash has kitchen, kitchen's a weird place for me. So, Max is like, let me explain to you what a sandwich is. When Sir Mjortegyut, the Earl of Sandwich, was desperate not to miss any of his card game. He asked for beef between two pieces of bread and the sandwich was bowl. And while he's saying this, while he's saying this, the music is going, dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. I'm like, you have a lovely old British man describing the history of the sandwich.

Why is this music so intense right now? I know why is it like horror movie music? And Brad must say, yes, you have to have meat between two pieces of bread. Basically, we call that a gale map. Now the rest is up to you. Do you understand sandwiches? Do we need to start from the top again? Chefs, you look a little bit lost. Okay, please welcome special guest, Julie Montague, from Ladies and Lund, to talk about sandwiches. Get over here, Julie.

She's like in a headstand. Okay, well that idiot won't get off of her head. So we're just gonna move on through this. Okay. Sylvia is like, my strategy is to make something people never get in sandwich. I was like, please not a lemon meringue pie. Please.

I know, I know. She's like, my strategy is a sandwich that is all soft texture, unsolved texture, unsolved texture. So she is grabbing champagne and caviar and endoess sausage and stuff. And Pammah turns to Max and she's like, okay, well, I guess I better talk to the talents person. How simple. Tin, what do you think makes a good sandwich? He goes, well, I think a liberal attitude to mayonnaise. Okay, well, Gail's right over there if you'd like to continue this thought.

Oh, God, Gail's literally got a swimming pool at home for that stuff. Gail found you a friend, finally. He's like, hot cold, sweet sour, crunchy soft. It's those contrasts that our brain find and gilgos joy That's where they find joy. Oh my god. Who knew last cat chance kitchen was gonna be a Sandra Bullock movie I'm sorry the answer is pleasure pleasure is the answer. Yeah, sorry so

Sylvia's making a champagne holidays and then she's also using a brioche bun, and then Tom is gonna make a chapeño sandwich, because he's doing that annoying thing where he's like, what did I lost a chapeño? So I'm gonna have a chapeño redemption, because every chef does that, and then they go home. You know, it's always that one chef who's like, well, my specialty is pasta, and I met a pasta.

So I'm gonna make the pasta again, to show that I can make pasta, but the truth is they can't make pasta, they always go home so I was like okay he's gonna go home now. Yeah and they all start making fun of him when he says he's gonna do a trip you know more it's like no come on and Padman goes no and so yeah so Victor is like but you must use a protein and Tom's like like, well, I realize it's not smart. I saw a tentative loin at that far surpass. So combined with tomato and sourdough,

I will do that now. I switched to beef. I changed my mind from Chibino. And he was like, wow, he's rubbing that bread with garlic. Is anybody else getting turned on? I mean, actually, it's funny that you mentioned that because if you tasted the bread first, a lot more of the garlic and tomato would have come off of it.

That's so true. So when are you in Gail going to make that underneath the rafters? I think he has a touch of turtlene to you, Max. That's why Gail waits to wrap herself with garlic until she's out of the bath, right Gail? So Sylvia, she decides she doesn't want over Compagator sandwich, so she mixes this the caviar that was gonna go on it. And then Tom starts saying this thing

about his like, I'm just going to make a straight forward sandwich. No fuss, just very honest food, very honest food. What does that mean, honest food? Yeah, give me some damn liar food, because that looks stupid. So bad, and I was like, wow, he better cut that really thin. One minute chefs, one minute, time's up just kidding.

It was really like one second. You're done, pitch and eyes that, pitch and sound, which is down, stupid. So Silvia made a crab sandwich with Anduie, champagne, holiday spread. Right. And then she also put some crab meat on the outside. And Max, and then Max is like, well, on the outside and max and the max is like well

I have to say I'm got a practically gobsmacked. I've never seen a a bun Put inside out with the crispy sides on the top. I've never seen anything like this Which I thought I have this restaurant here makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches like that. It's so good Like don't they do that for the kids? Isn't that like a good standard thing for grilled cheeses with kids? Yeah, I get it off the kids then you Yeah, so there ha max take that max Wow max the the picnic masters never seen bread served upside down Thanks a lot max of failure in okay, all right, so who's next? Okay, all right, so who's next? Hmm, I think it's Tom.

Tom's gonna serve us an honest sandwich, whatever the hell that means. So it's like a top-up, you've probably said it's a spicy tomato, I'm a layer on it, and I think it looks very pretty. And Tom's like, so my question is for Sylvia, out of everything in the pantry, why would you choose these materials? And she's like, to, because I wanted to use champagne and to make hollandaise, because I think this is a good hollandaise

reason. And he's like, oh, okay. Well, sandwiches need to be big and watercress. And oh, he's like, I'm gonna ask the same thing to Tom. So Tom with hair, go ahead. He's like, Saturday just need to be big and watercress and be if it's genius to Tom, so Tom with hair, go ahead. It's like, Sadritches need to be big and watch the crust and beef has cheen yes to me. Cheen yes. Yeah, he really is going to bat for the combination of beef

and what across right now. So, um, uh, so then's Padmasus, Sylvia, question, why did you use the insides on the outside? That's why Gail's dress looks so horrific all the time. It looks like you're in test and on track. Am. Am I right? Things on the inside but stay on the inside. Oh, so um, she says it's to not get the brioche soggy. So, now the judges are talking. I've had them. It's like, for me, one was better. And Max is like, well, they were both messy, but I suppose we did have a napkin. You know how napkins were invented? At one point, the Earl of Sandwich didn't want to get up from his card game, but he had

sandwiched all over his face, and he ended up needing something to wipe with, so we used a card, and they said there should be softer, so they made soft cards, and that became the napkin! Wow, are you saying that the way you use a napkin is to hold it to your face and move it around? I never knew that. No one ever told me. That's how Gail uses subway tokens. No wonder why she's always stuck at the turn style. Talking about style, that's turned. Gail.

So, and so it's like, okay, are we all in agreement with about our decision? We leave Gale here and go back to the studios. Great. So, Tom is like, okay, well, guess, I've got a monologue. It's about sandwiches. You know, sandwiches are things that are shared between families. There are also things that kids eat at school for lunchtime because you know, you send a kid to school with a fork one day and a chance to go on a stabbing rampage. So basically don't give forks or knives to children. Okay, thanks for listening. Padma? Padma?

Padma? Hmm. Wow, this is really hard for me, but Sylvia, please pack your knives and leave this country. Thank you so much. Tom, you get to stay because we feel like you've got tortured issues with your brother. Congratulations. Oh, man. I wanted Sylvia to stay. I really wanted to see how far a potato person could go.

I just wanted to see the fancy potato work in the finale. I'm sad. And I liked her. She seemed like a sweetheart. This was a tough episode because we lost Bagonia and Sylvia. And I'm not happy about it. And we got Dale back on top of everything else. Yeah, we got fucking Dale back gross.

I'm still liking almost everyone, but as what happens in top chef is happening and that is where the fun people to imitate Start getting sent home one by one and then at the end we're gonna be left with fucking Dale Ali and Charbell gosh, yeah, probably something like that just people we don't like to make fun of it all you know and then we're gonna like the last couple episodes of top chef we're gonna be sobbing like please don't make us recap this we can't take any more i feel like Sarah is gonna go for surprisingly far i just get that feeling i'm rooting for Sarah to win this whole thing you know now because my other favorites have all gone i wanted beg Bagonia. I wanted what's your

brother? So Cheyenne. I want to be going. Yeah. I like Sylvia Sarah. Those are those have been my top three, I think. And I'm sure there's some other people, but I just don't remember them right now. I love booted. I've just seen a boot. I like Victoria. I haven't really seen I haven't gotten a sense of Victoria's Full-style yet. You know what I mean? Yeah, but I'm liking herself.

Each episode explores a different iconic celebrity feud, from the build-up, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feud say about us? We're starting off with a pretty messy love triangle between Selena Gomez and Justin and Haley Bieber, a seemingly innocent TikTok of Selena talking about her laminated eyebrows. It's snowballed into a Selena talking about her laminated eyebrows.

It's snowballed into a full-blown alleged feud. But it doesn't seem like fans are letting up anytime soon. Despite both Selena and the Bieber's making public statements denying any bad blood. How much of this is teen jealousy and lovers quarreling, and how much of it is a carefully crafted narrative designed to sell albums? Follow this and tell wherever you get your podcasts.
