The podcast for all that crap, we love to talk about new brums. I'm Ronnie, guess who I'm with. His name rhymes with, hand, it's been, I've been. Hey, hey, hey, hey, who are you? Again, how are you? Doing pretty well, having a lovely weekend, I and ready to dive back into the week. Monday is my ride. Truly, truly. Well, welcome back everybody. It's Monday June 6th.

Okay. And we're really excited to be here. It's a final top chef recap for the season. Pretty depressing. I'm not going to lie. Pretty sad about it. Because that's not going to be back for a long time. And like, when are they going back to Tucson? I mean, sometimes glamorous just taken from you too soon. Don't cry because you're losing it. Cry because gal ain't it. Don't cry for me, Pooge and Tina. So, yeah, that's ending, but guess what's not ending? Take a seat, which is our live show on Spotify. We do that every Monday night at 7 p.m. Pacific

and 10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central, 8 p.m. Mountain, most of the year. We'll be doing that tonight. So, tell us what you want us to talk about. Meet up with us. We can talk with you, you can talk with us. You can talk with each other. Kai.

What's to talk about tonight? Mostly involving Lisa Rina and Beverly Hills trash, which I'm gonna love, of course. And that's that for that. The rest of the week will be normal time. So let's get into top chef, shall we, Bianne? Yes, it's the grand finale of Top Chef Houston. Tonight is the finale of Top Chef,

and my bangs will annoy someone, Top Chef. Hmm, congratulations chefs, you've made it to the end, but there's still a lot left to do. I have so many things to sign. Get in the line, please. Ha, ha, ha, ha, please. So, one of the things... There's so much left to do. For instance, this afternoon, you all be dropping things into deep fires

to see if you can make a legendary Tucson dish. Let's see how many people BuDic can rip off in one finale. Wow. Is that a Picasso? Wow, Buddha ripped up. Wait, your song is singing cat, your play is singing candle in the wind. Did you rip off Elton John for this finale, Buddha? I love that Eric repair called Buddha out. He's like, oh, this is 80s and 90s and it's like it's yours or so on YouTube. It's like, Creep, creep alert. Well, by the way, do you mind if I rewind one second to introduce everyone to our finalists, including Evelyn Garcia, the hometown hero who packs a punch with a unique blend of

Southeast Asian and Latin co-scenes and also being dumb. Sorry, I had to say it. Finally, oh, feels good to let it out. All your former competitors are on standby and we'll fly here if you choose them. It's your sous chef for this challenge. Now, please go back to the tents you've been provided to ask for dollars until tomorrow. So anyway, so now they all it's like it's evening and they're back in their their hotel and they've got to like call their former contestants to former like fellow contestants to get a sous chef. So Sarah calls up Robert who is the one that she was eliminated with on a double double I'm gonna say double eviction, but double elimination.

And so she asks him to be the sous chef and then Evelyn calls up Joe and she's like, hey, you're coming to Arizona girl and she's like, oh my God, is Jonathan Waxman there? Because I pretty much only go where he goes, just saying. I mean, I could have chosen anybody for this challenge, but I'm funniest with you. Welcome to the Queens of Comedy.

We're crazy. And Buddha does, I was so afraid he was going to do this. I thought, please don't do this, but of course he does it. Of course he calls that big dumb Jackson. Big dumb Jackson. The guy can't even taste, okay? Like, the guy literally has no taste. I thought he was going to pick

Noma. I thought so too actually because Noma can do molecular astronomy and things like that. But no, he went for Jackson. I was shocking. Yeah. And Buddha's like, well, if I'm not beating him or I want him next to me to beat him off. Did I say that out loud? I think that means something different. I'm not going to drink. So then they're down to 1BMW. Don. We get the top chef. Don. And do this like guys, or think we're going into the city.

Yes, you're going into the, it's Tucson. Okay, there's three large buildings. You're going into the city. What the hell, baby? No, you're going to the bio-dom. Of course. I only say the bio-dom because one time when I went to Tucson, I did make a day trip to see the bio-dom in person.

And it was not amazing. They don't let you in. It's really dumb. They help you in. No, you walk around, I'm like, no. You walk around the perimeter and you look into like foggy, of course it's foggy in there. Or it's like there's condensation on the windows. And then you have a kooky lady who teaches you things.

And I remember I asked her, I said something like, well, it must be pretty cool that you get to work at the bio-dom. And she's like, well, I believe we're entering the age of Aquarius. And you know, you know, Mars, they're going to come for us and they're going to take us to the next astral plane. And I was like, oh, okay, well, it's been a great trip.

Put down the wet soil lady. All right. You're sniffing a little too much wet soil. She's had a little bit too many of those biodome fumes go into her brain. Yeah, I said they don't let you go in like I would be mad, but I would not be mad. I do not want to be in a biodome. That sounds disgusting. I'm in a biodome.

It's called earth. Okay. It's impressive. It's of course it's like the most obnoxious, torsie thing that you go to visit a place that's all about like creating a habitat and preserving it and be like, I want to go in, I want to go in, it'll be fine. Like, it's like, look at the worst idea. Letting tourists go through a habitat.

Oh, I know. We've ruined it with one walk through. It's like, well, it's a monkey pox gov in hybrid. Got on a cellar relief and now the whole biodeum died. Yeah, I don't need to. I live in my house. That's enough of a biodeum. Okay, I cooked with onions the other day and the rest of the weekend.

I was like, do you smell onions? Does anybody smell onions? I still smell them. They were somewhere. It's like one little onion flew off somewhere and I smelled it the whole weekend. And my sister was like, open the window and I said, what are you fucking crazy?

The house will start on fire. It's so hot here. it's like 100 degrees. I was like, I'm not doing that. We're sitting with the onion smell. That's it. I took a shower. The onion smell was still there. I put on fresh clothes.

The onion smell was still there. I cleaned all the counters with the lemon shit. The fucking onion was still there. No, thank you, biodome. I'm so glad. Well, bio-dome. I'll die. Well, no thank you, bio-dome. Yeah, fuck off, but they're survival.

So they get to their people. People listen, they don't even know what the bio-dome is. That's a sad part. So relic of the 90s, everyone look it up. It's also a movie from the 2000s, right? It doesn't buy a demo. It's also a movie from the 2000s, right? Doesn't buy a film. It's like a movie.

Yeah. So it's like, yeah, something like that. Yeah. So they go to this like big relic building and had me say, hi, I've got a show, but only half of it is on my shoulder. The other ones around my arm. Now just try to see things straight from now on. Anybody confused? I thought so poor people. Well, I was afraid that if I put the

shell all the way on, it might attract too much local attention and I don't know, I just don't want to wind up in that cage where Gail's been held above that restaurant from last a week. We're here at the Peanut County Courthouse. Many big, huge decisions have been made here. We're at the courthouse. Guys, look top chef, I know it's been a rough year. It's been a rough year for all of us in the world, okay? But the courthouse, really? Many big decisions, including last night,

when Gail tried to alope with the chimichanga. They didn't approve it. big decisions, including last night, when Gail tried to alope with the chimichanga. They didn't approve it. The culinary epicenter of downtown Tucson, the county court house. Why does the court... Why does the court have to cost as much as a snickers bar? Conendrums, huge decisions made here last night. And we are about to make the biggest decision of the season.

Do we put Gail into the bio dome? Everyone raise your hands. This is happening right now. We tried it. Sorry, we tried it before the, the bio dome rejected Gail. But she is applying to be a member of a brand new Charleston chewed-oom, not sure what that is, but she's very excited about it. Each one of you will be responsible for making a four-course progressive meal. We want to taste abortion, riots, and inflation. Stephanie, Ryzer, and Eric Repair will be there. impressive right? Oh and gal I'll just let that just sit in the air for a moment right now. I made decisions remade here last night huge sorry gal slipped

in. Gal tried to get that parking ticket's decisions made here, just enormous. Hey, I'm death for the first time ever. Yeah, go ahead, Ben. Yeah, please. Oh, okay, no, you do it, other reason. No, it's fine. No, Ben Tom. It's all right. It's up to you, Ben Tom.

Well, we just made another big decision on which version of me is going to be. So for the first time ever, we asked you who you want to be your sous chef, and we promise to fly them in. So here they are. And Jackson. And Jackson. ever we asked you who you want to be your sous chef and we promise to fly them in so You're there Objection the defense rest your honor that is sustained That's not even correctly used a quick term spot mo I'd like to approach the bench if gal would get off of it

How is gal not a judge. I've never seen someone benched more than her. Please welcome the honorable, me, Lou Gail Simmons. So don't make a dad joke, which I didn't really catch, but also I love that they're acting like they just really went over the top of their budget To fly a sous chef in on Southwest, you know they did you know who you know someone got stuck sitting with Big dumb Jackson in that middle seat on the South and group C because top chef ain't even paying the like check in early

25 dollars. Yeah. Well, and he's late, so he winds up in the middle seat. And if by chance he's on JetBlue, I feel bad for the person in front of him because you know he's doing some sort of word scramble on the TV and he's pressing the screen hard and you feel it and you're like, God damn it, stop playing the quiz game.

You heard the tap, tap, tap. You know that Jackson be like, oh, I got the trivia wrong. And he's maving the words to it with like little things of spittle at the corners of his mouth. You know he is. You know he's one of those people.

And he know he's changed his drink order three times. He's like, um, I'll have a ginger ale. And then she starts to put the ice in the cup. She's like, oh, actually, is it to let you orange juice? And she's like, no, no, and she gets out the orange. He goes, no, actually, I think I'll doing the ginger ale afterwards and you're like oh my god This is why can't go the bathroom because the car is stuck in the aisle for 10 minutes dealing with this one person who's Tap in the screen. Oh, thanks for the orange juice. Oh, it's ginger ale. Oh can't taste can't taste really don't know

I made a big deal out of the string. It's mostly for the color So then speaking of which, so all the two chefs come down the staircase and they all line up and then Padma turns to Jackson and goes, how's your sense of taste now? I see your taste in clothing has an improved. Has the taste on your tongue big dumb dumb? She likes to taste the gavil because red accord house. And Joe is there and she's like, well, I'm not surprised to see Buddha. You know Sarah, she's a survivor. Yeah, we know.

She like rips animals apart on the side of the freeway. I'm like, turns them into hot dogs because she doesn't want them to go to waste. Yep. So then, um, Padma's like, today, each of you will have $1,500 to shop at a variety of markets. Quot on Quot, we're in Tucson, where the contactless mastercard will allow you to tap. Last time, my markets, you get the drift, right?

Do I have to spell this out for anyone? It's the Gale Mastercard. Sorry, I meant contactless. It's the Gayle Mastercard. Sorry, I'm at Contactless. Has inner sex life? Context. So they split off to play in their menus and Sarah's like, okay, this is what I'm gonna do. Hunter Gatherer from Michigan. I was like, oh, for Christ's sake.

So then Evelyn has decided that she's been on a journey. So she's going to, you know, do something on her journey. And I was like, please let it involve like blended up beans because I know somehow it's going to. Evelyn loves a blended bean. And Buddha tells us, well, there are three people in my family. So I want to have a course as a tribute to each one of my family members, my brother, my mom, and my dad. And then my, so I have a fourth course, since I apparently have no one else in my family. And I can't even remember who actually visited me on my family challenge. I guess I'll dedicate that one to America. And no one else, because there's no one else in my family. Like, sir, you have talked about your wife

every single episode. This is the post-adish that we ate when we watched Golden Guild for the first song together. That's easy. This is a piece of bread that my wife told me I should eat once and I loved it. So I call it full my wife bread, everything. And then now for this, four-course thing, he's

like, I only have three people in my family and the fourth course will be dedicated to America. I'm like, sir! She flew all the way out to this damn show to eat your food down a gas station. His wife is at home, making divorce faster. Yeah, that was cool. He's like, I can't take of anyone else. God, I wish I just had one more. Thankfully, I've got Flow, the progressive woman. Who's more American than man? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha to spend products for me so, because I wanna talk about waste. The more we can use the entire product, the better it is for the earth. I'm like, wow, trash me so, that's your thing. I know.

Well, I'm here to win Top Chef, so here's some trash me so. Wow, garbage disposal me so. That is your thing. Wow, Sarah. Sarah, I mean, it's cool, So that is your theme. Wow, Sarah. Sarah. Sarah, I mean, it's cool, but like, but also it's the finale.

We don't, it's like here, I've made this out of waste. Okay, I don't mind if I'm using waste product to fuel my cars or even to make a tablecloth of some sort, you know, like, oh, this is recycled product. I don't need recycled scraps in my food that I'm eating though. Yeah, that's not talking leftovers. I'm like, wee-h-h-h-h-h-h.

Wow. Oh, it's rushed me down if it's numb. I'm sure it's totally benign and fine, but the way she presented it, it's probably just like, oh, when you make something, there's this part that just sort of, there's like, I just buy product that you create and they use the buy product to create a Mesa.

That's probably what it was, but she calls it, you know, spent product and she's talking about food waste. I mean, I'm just like, yeah. That works, I want to hear it. It's like, wow, my finale dinner. Goodwill. That's what I'm going for. That's what I'm going for.

You know that smell when you go into the goodwill and you just smell kind of old clothes, you know you can wash, but still you wonder how every goodwill smells the same. I'm turning that into a steak. Wow, delicious, delicious. So she goes over her menu and I don't listen because trash me so.

And then Evelyn is starting with a ceviche and I'm like I Don't know I'm I'm worried about her already because you know Evelyn I picked to win I love my Evelyn I want Evelyn to win. Yeah, but I hate when it's a finale night And they're like you know what I'm doing Crudo come on That's what you're doing. No, well, I fish. No Come on, that's what you're doing. No, we're off-ish. No.

A ceviche can actually be, it can be really wonderful. So I was not, I was not turned off by exike. It can like, there have been some ceviche and, and crudos that have been like, outstanding. So I was, I was okay with it. I was not, I was, there were other things happening in the kitchen that alarm me more and we'll get to them as they come up But I was okay so far with this part Yeah, to me it's just like a cooking competition and there've been so many comments made by the chef the judges over the years It's like wow. I was really looking forward to a cooking competition. Did you mean to just give me raw fish? So that's why I was booing because I'm like, come on,

Evelyn, they're gonna ding you on that. They're gonna ding you. So that she's also gonna do it. By the way, I do. No, I was gonna say the other thing is for me, my pitfalls, which I think I mentioned last week is you got what did I say? You got to stay away from pressure cookers and sous vide machines. And I think I'm gonna try something new. Those are the three things. And I have to say, by the way, Sarah did two out of those three things. Yeah. Sarah's a self sabotage or a self sabotage.

So the evidence also doing a mole and she's going to do a boon well for dessert. And so Buddha is going to do Hamachi because that's his brother's favorite dish and then he's gonna do a Mongolian lamb That's the ode to his dad and then he's gonna do a pumpkin pie because flow loves pumpkin pie I was like now I feel like the thing that people love talking about right now is how much they hate pumpkin pie like that's like a big thing Everywhere like everyone's like, oh pumpkin pie. Like that's like a big thing everywhere. Like everyone's like, ugh, pumpkin pie is the worst. So here's a great alternative for your Thanksgiving. Some like, is pumpkin pie really going to be a winner for Buddha?

I was a little concerned about that. Well, who, first of all, who are these pumpkin pie haters? This is America and you better keep that commy bullshit in some other country. I don't like pumpkin pie. The fuck says that? So much. I other country. I don't like pumpkin pie. The fuck says that? So much. I wasn't saying, I'm just saying it's something that's going,

I've noticed it in a lot of cookbooks, and a lot of like food programs, with like, like, little pumpkin pie. Here's a better version. So I'm just saying, I was afraid that he was setting himself up for failure with a pumpkin pie situation. No, pumpkin pie is amazing. Everybody can binge pumpkin pie.

You can binge that without teeth. Like you can binge that till you're a hundred. The pumpkin pie is amazing. The pumpkin pie is amazing. You're such a huge pumpkin pie. I love pumpkin pie. Okay, so no idea. I love it.

I mean, so, Jackson's like, oh, how have worried Boodle was going to be just classic French and boring, but he's telling, how would worry Boodle was gonna be just classic French and boring, but it's telling like a story, I guess. I'm just jealous I can't be here to talk about my journey of not tasting things. Like, shut up Jackson. You know, I have to say, so after this like preliminary discussion of the things that they're gonna make, I actually felt like, well, actually, no, I'm gonna wait because they get more into the menu.

We go over the menu like three different times this episode, so I'm gonna pause on that really important observation that I'm sure the audience just cannot wait to hear. So then, I'll go check out the talented people around, not the ones that are fun TV. So by the end, it's like, wow, Marcel got out of bed today. We have some kind of a word for that, right?

For the end, you're just like watching people breathe. But they head over to Dickman's meet, which coincidentally was my name in high school. I was going to say happy pride. Dickman's meet. And Sarah has decided she is going to start with a venison tar tar. Yeah, she says she wants her meal to feel like a couple of cowboys went to the snorren desert, happened upon a Michelin kitchen, and then Eric repair was lost in desert, and then he came to eat it. I was like, actually, I kind of really liked

that concept. I remember they pooped at raw meat. Then they wondered whether it was like a madlib. Yeah, I like, I like a dinner concept. That's a, just basically a mad lib. Yeah, I like a dinner concept that's just basically a mad lib. I'm into it. Mm. So then they start talking about their dishes again. We're all mad.

They're talking about their food on a food show. But Joe and Sarah are talking about like who could win? And Evelyn's saying, well, overall me and Buddha have been probably the most consistent. And Joe's like, yeah, that Sarah, she's a real wild card, which I think is probably the first time Sarah's ever been called that. Yeah. So, briles or a card, she's a real card. So here, this is where I'm going to weigh in.

Here comes my observation. So really quickly, this, Buddha's, uh, Buddha's menu is going to be, this is sort of repeating stuff, but the first dish is going to be hamachi with caviar. second is going to be lobster loxos, third that mongolian lamb, then the pumpkin pie. Evelyn is going to do a scallop crudo, then she could do crystal dumplings with an aromatic broth, then she could do a goat curry mole, and then the bunwalo that we talked about, and Sarah is that venison tartar, the squat, then a squash tortellini, and then a rabbit, ballantine, ballantine or something, and then smoked buttermilk ice cream, and a corncake.

And I have to say, after we saw those three menus, I actually thought Sarah's was the most interesting, and Buddha's was the most boring. I was, I was, so at this point, I was like, maybe Sarah might pull off a surprise victory based on just the many description alone. Well, you can never trust what Buddha is saying because he's naming normal things, but then he does them in such a crazy way, you know. And then Sarah does crazy things, but in kind of such a normal way. So on.

It was just like, wow, you really turned, you really turned that sports card to pedestrian. Congratulations, you're magic. You're like reverse magic. Yeah, it's like when people ask what your dream car is and you said, a Honda, congratulations. So Buddha wants to do lobster. So he's like, all right, I'll need some fresh lobster.

And like, hi, you're in two sides, sir. He's like, well, fresh, please, fresh lobster. And he's all disappointed he can't find fresh lobster. Well, isn't it all kind of flash frozen after it's taken out of the ocean? Unless it's like ocean straight to table. How are they gonna have non-frozen lobster? And this is not me being a dick, I'm really curious.

I have no idea. Well, you know, when you go to the supermarkets or fish stores, you see those tanks and the lobster's just sort of like clamoring around. Like, hey, that's true. Well, you know when you go to the supermarkets or first stores, you see those tanks and the lobsters are sort of clamoring around. Like, hey, that's true. Yeah, they probably flew in the same level of seating that the poor sous chefs got flown in on. It's at the lobster can decide on a drink.

The lobster is like, I will have a bloody marimax and that's that. That's true, God, I'm really dumb. I guess I never thought of that. Like when at the Red Lobster in El Paso, the huge tank of lobster, like what did I think that came from? The Rio Grande, idiot.

Oh, I loved the way they really immerse you in the lobster thing. By having actual lobsters, and they have little tape around their hands because they're just like, they love accessorizing. Yeah, those were always a nightmare. I've never liked people who can't clap. Now, this, there was, so Buddha is getting frozen lobster tail, and there's a risk that

it can be mushy or something like that. And for all of you who are in suspense about this, because, you know, Top Chef has a story of history of frozen fish, frozen scallops and Chicago. Happy report. This is the, this is this is the cliffhanger and also the conclusion of the lobster tailgate. Because you ever come back to it. So then we go to take care of it. Thank you.

We had there and they have five hours to cook. So Buddha's like, my menu is my family. First, I'm clubbing my brother over the head and using his underarm fat to make him archy with caviar. Second, I'm strangling my mother and using her cancels to make a lobster loxah. Damn, Buddha's real were getting dark. And then for the fourth one, since there was no one left in my family whatsoever, I just took an American flag and baked it. And the style of someone that I wished was my family a mouthful.

It's time for commercial. It's time for a crap. Raising kids can be one of the greatest rewards of a parent's life. But come on, someday's parenting is unbearable. I love my kid, but is a new parenting podcast from Wondry that shares a refreshingly honest and insightful take on parenting. Hosted by myself, Megan Galey, Chris Garcia, and Kurt Brown-Oller, we will be your resident not-so-expert experts.

Each week we'll share a parenting story that'll have you laughing, nodding, and thinking. Oh yeah, I have absolutely been there. We'll talk about what went right and wrong. What would we do differently? And the next time you step on yet another stray Lego in the middle of the night, you'll feel less alone. So if you like to laugh with us as we talk about the hardest job in the world, listen to, I love my kid, but wherever you get your podcasts.

You can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wondery app. So then, Avalon is doing a Scala Crudo to start and then she's going to do Crystal Dumplings. Okay, we're going over this video to believe in you guys. I know, it's part that I said. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had gone forward. I didn't the police. I know part of the night said, yeah, yeah. I had gone forward, I didn't realize that I'd gone out of order with this menu. So yes.

No, but they do say it 9,000 times. So then Sarah is doing a thing with the bunny where she's like, I'm using every piece of this rabbit. I'm making a fingernail garnish. I was like, girl. Sometimes it's okay to weigh some parts, you know? I mean, planted in the backyard or something like, just, you know, what do you-

Just get a cat birdie. I can be dumb a bit, okay? Okay. The thing is that like, you know, her concept too of like, I'm gonna use every single part. Like, that's, it's actually, I support that worldview, and I think it's really cool, but it's also not revolutionary,

and she's sort of coming in like, I'm the first one who's ever thought about being mindful of how I use food. I'm like, don't sacrifice your shot at this for something that's gonna be difficult, like, rabbit, you know, because guess what? She winds up at one point, I don't know if it's now or another part, so I apologize. She winds up putting her rabbit stuff into basically a sous vide machine and what did I

say? Don't go near a sous vide machine on the finale and that's that everyone. Okay, all you chefs out there who are listening, you heard it here, we're telling you this, we don't want to repeat it. If you go to Top Chef and you make it to the finale, don't go near the sous vide machine. Okay, let's just, one word, Carla, Carla. Yeah, so she's roasting the rabbit bones for a zoo

and then she's gonna stuff her rabbit thing with a mousse made from the rabbit legs and then she's got like little like rabbit nipple, you know Curly cues on top. I can't so then two hours to go Tom Stephanie and Elk with El come in and So I was like, oh my god, I just shit myself. Oh, so come on. Please don't because you're gonna feel the need to use it in something Please don't make me so out of that. Please something. Please don't make me so out of that please. So, we just like, well, on my first course, this is very funny to someone. I'm sure everyone will laugh. I learned this from Chef Repair online. And so this is his vincere. And Eric Pair is looking at him

like, oh, congratulations on using my technique I'd used in 1984 Congratulations. Oh, and I like your sweater. I saw you wearing it this morning. Okay, crazy face. So he's going over his menu for them and Stephanie's like, well, there is just so much going on. I'm gonna have to wait till tomorrow to see it. And I love that about Stephanie.

Stephanie has no bullshit in her. She doesn't come on like, oh my God, that's amazing. Tell me about your journey. She's like, you sound fucking crazy. I'm not judging this by. Good. Is there a snack machine? Did Padma settle her experiment gum

versus Snickers bar debate? Because I could use a snack, okay? Good boy. You know, I think I said this on the podcast that a few months ago I went to Stephanie's restaurant. Her famous restaurant, the girl in the go, and they opened it in Los Angeles and I went. And there were some things on that many that were delicious,

but there were some things at that restaurant that were like, they haunt me to this day, they were so bad, I've never had such bad food at a restaurant in really years. Years. And Mike Shoehad was there too. So I guess, I'm gonna blame Mike, I'm not gonna blame Stephanie, I'm gonna say it was an off night for the restaurant. Maybe it was Spoof Goat.

Spoof Goat. Yeah, it was Spoof Goat. I know there was like a street corn that had like a sweet coconut thing. It was, I'm telling you, it was like, it was like the flavor would not go away for like days. that had like a sweet coconut thing. I'm telling you, it was like, it was like the flavor would not go away for like days. I could taste it and I was like, it was haunting.

So I'm like, I want to support Stephanie, but I also want an explanation. I've been holding that in for a long time. I also want an answer to my Yelp review. Okay. So then we go over to Sarah. And of course, Buddha's watching Eric walk off like I'm dropping in on your Amazon any day now Eric.

He's like all right, crazy pants. So we go over to Sarah and she's like, well, this would be like me and my fiance getting trapped in the outback with Michelin star of Miso inspired courses made from trash. So I hope you like it, guys. Stephanie's like, yeah, just I'll text you back tomorrow. Just gonna say that won't commit to anything. And then is Evelyn, and she's talking

about a crystal dumplings, and they're gonna be cure clear, and then her burr, her, her, her curry mule, and she's gonna do goat neck, and then Stephanie's like, oh, goat, and then, they start doing finger guns at each other. I'm like, oh my God, you do goat, I do goat, you do goat, I do goat,, oh, goat. And then they start doing finger guns at each other. Oh my God, you do goat? I do goat. You do goat?

I do goat. Yes, goat, yes. You goat girl. So then Tom's like, oh yeah, well, when you're done, meet me at set up a roof. And Sarah has like, oh my God, are you riding horses? And so she's losing her mind. She's like, I cannot wait to ride horses.

And then, of course, she's so weird. Footprints into, turn it into me so. Yes, she's so rude. She goes, yeah, I hope we're riding horses. I want to see Evelyn ride a horse and then it just cuts Evelyn's face like bitch. She's like, what the fuck?

And also Stephanie goes, wow, finger guns. You know, when it's goat day at the restaurant, that's our favorite day of the week. It was like, you're gross. Okay, so then, Buddha... So the goat doesn't feel the same. Yeah, no kidding. Some goat families watching this, like, these sick bastards.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Head it with these people. So Buddha is doing tool like leaves, which is really cool. I love crafting, you know? And when they get on him about doing this 80s and 90s thing like yeah When people actually gave a shit and tried to make something beautiful unlike today where they're like it's rustic and it's just like you know Walking cow, you know, they're like there just get your fork cut into that cow. It's rustic like making efforts. Make a twill, okay? I'm like a twill on my take, please.

Thank you. Okay. Yeah, I wanted to look at the cow's face. Yeah. So then, um, uh, so that Buddha explains the leaves are changing colors on the plate, just like central park in New York, which is is part of America which is also my fourth plate and there's no one else in my family who can be represented in those places. So then now the chefs just head to this ranch and there's this guy a very sort of Sam Elliott kind of guy although to be fair

I feel like there are a lot of people in Tucson who just sort of are like San Melliot type. Like they sort of have to read like San Melliot. And so he, did I ever tell you I went in country line dancing in Tucson once? The San Melliot, because I need that to tie up. Yeah, no, I was gonna say this, that's where I'm drawing my San Melliot experience. Everyone's San Melliot. I like it. It's like a lot of San Melliot. I mean, because I have like a brain that's

quickly being smushed into gel because of my treatment of it over the past four decades of my life, I'm thinking of Sam Waterstein. So I'm like, you're right. Everybody in Tucson does look like Sam Waterstein. Well, it's like, it's a combination of both. Well, people look like a lot of different things in Tucson. Okay. But anyway, uh, but mostly Sam Waters in an alley. That's basic. Most people look like their names start with Sam. If you don't believe us, get on the scruff in to you. Sam, tell us what you find. There's probably a lot of Sam Neils. Sam. I don't know if there are any other famous Sam's out there to be honest. I think that's just those are the three Sam's of Holly So now let's go to my favorite segment of every season the segment where pod member 10s that she's just as good as a chef as all of the guests that they have on

She's like wow chef. We're cooking for you Like it has congratulations. You're gonna get to taste something I call patata salad Who look we still put a salad from in this country. That's my question So yeah, and this is the chefs are cooking for everyone the chefs and gal So Tom and Padma are also they're also making a lamb sorry, Kristen I know it's your least favorite. Well, hopefully you'll get plenty of non-lab when you finally make it to Paris Just kidding. You're still here in Tucson So Stephanie Eric repair Padma Gale. I just L.O. Weld it Padma potato salad

So Gale's like boo to get your hands out of the figs And then Gale all right Gale do you think go ahead, gal. We want to gal do it. Gal soups on. Okay, I can't resist. She starts ringing the triangle. Gal is so excited ever since they released her from the fig dome. Wow.

Look at her. She's like she's been rolling around in fig newtons for days. So they sit down to eat and padmas like, can I please have that crispy end of the beef? Thank you, the lamb, whatever. Thank you. Wow, it's been such an honor making potato salad for all of you. I don't know if you understand this,

but potato salad is a rather tricky endeavor. First you have to cut potatoes, then you have to boil them, and then you toss them with mayo and egg. It's very difficult. Enjoy. And everyone's like, she's sitting next to Padma. She's like, oh my god, pinch me. Padma is sitting next to me. Padma goes, oh, Pat's wrong the arm. Like you pour, pour literally thing. My favorite day of the year is take your portrait to work day congratulations Evelyn you're my choice this year would you like to take some potato

home salad home and a two per watt two per watt right my right do we have any of those both people love those you could wrap it up some newspaper if you'd like that makes you more comfortable do we have any extra fabrics that Evelyn can make a bindle for her, Pteros salad? Thank you so much.

And everything I've gone through was totally worth it for this moment. Wow, that's exciting. What have you gone through? You wrote a horse? Wow. Gale was in a cage of her restaurant for two days So Buddha been wanting to ask you did your mother name you And he's like actually my name is Kauai All right, my dad named me Buddha because I ate so much of his food which is funny, right? You know my dad's name was spare rib because he was skinny and he didn't want me to be thin. So, he named me Buddha and fed me a lot.

I was like, wow, that's like opposite to the day of my family. My mom could have just, my mom should have just named me Slim or something. I feel like this is all my mom's fault now. All of my food problems are my mother's fault. News flash, tell your friends. I can only imagine what your parents would have named Gail. I'll start. Good year.

Pada, that's a little too mean, Pada. That's a little too mean, Pada. Shut up Tom, I'm famous. Don't worry, I'm gonna even make this more awkward so we can get the focus off what an asshole partners. So Buddha is your dad still working? And he's like, well, he and Heaven, Tom, because he's passed away.

Oh, well, look, that's, wow. Oh, sorry about that. Oh, awkward. God, I'm so sorry whatever your name is. He can be so rude that, Tom. He's so, um, Tom's like, basically Buddha talks about how, So, um, Tom's like, uh, basically Boota talks about how his father passed, but he got the call to come to Top Chef two days after. And so it feels kind of spiritual to him, you know.

And Eric is like, okay, let me ask you. The Top Chef make you understand your gift tomorrow. And Boota's like, totally, it also made me understand your gift more. I've been reading every recipe book I can of yours. Will you sign up but cheeks? And Sarah's like, well, I think what you learn here is how to still who you are to the purest form of you and the best form of you. And that's why I decided to make trash me so for all of you guys because that really represents

me. Wow, we just still gale down to her purest form. She's the red M&M. So everyone's like, she's like, well, I was really excited because I knew I would get to see Houston differently. And Stephanie's like, well, I mean, it's funny because I mean, that, that, you know, tonight's this crazy moment, because I mean, I won. God, it was already 15 years ago that I won this show that you're all buying for it, that I won.

What were you guys talking about? I'm sorry. And she's like, I still can't believe I won because my dessert wasn't great. And then they're served their dessert. And it's a, what do you call those? Big times. The kettle.

Cattle. Cattle. Cast iron skillet. Yeah, it's a cast iron skillet cake. And so they eat that. And Gale's like, no matter what happens, we are all incredibly supportive of your careers And what you have accomplished here is

Remarkable gal. I see your mouth moving, but the only thing I can hear is your blouse turn it down Turn it down gal Guys don't get excited about gals little speech here. It's the same one she used at the opening of a dress barn and peoria So back at Tonke Verde Evelyn's like this is for my family. My win is their win and Sarah's doing the sous vide on that rabbit Bye Bye good boy you're the weakest link.

Goodbye. So, and Evelyn is like, oh, so it's, so I'm sorry to interrupt you, but it's so weird that someone is using a single use plastic on their please don't be wasteful challenge. Just like that. Oh, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, I mean, I mean, she's also endorsing a sort of special way of cooking, right? Even more than the single use of plastic, it's the, like if you want a sous vide, you have to buy a sous vide machine

that you really only can use to sous vide. I don't know. To me, cook it over her flame. Be one of your ears. I want this rabbit, skinny, stick through his butt hole all the way clear to its head and roast it like a marshmallow, okay? That's how you do it. If you're gonna do this one. Rabbit's more, rabbit's more, okay?

That's what we want. Mm. So they're all doing their whole, I've come this far and this is my chance. My father wanted this for me more than anything. I like trash me so. So they're doing all their super inspirational lines and stuff, and then Sarah's smoking buttermilk and doing her cowboy tartar.

And guess what? Her Valentines are like a bit rough because the circulator didn't circulate them as well. They're supposed to. So then she's gonna finish them off in the event. Well, congratulations. You use this sous vide, you do the sous vide trap. So meanwhile the judges start to arrive.

Padmins like, this is gorgeous. Like how beautiful this is. Of course I'm not talking about our surroundings. I'm talking about this complimentary invitation to SoHo House. Wow, so beautiful. I love the font they used. And then we come to what Padma does at the end of every season

when she's just out of things to say. She just starts going, wow. The rest of the show, everything that comes out she goes, wow. The rest of the show everything that comes out she goes Wow Gal goes Gal goes you all look very Hanson gal put away your chick-d-pan

chick-pea-can puppets and touch the rest of us like a normal human being Sorry, I had a hard time getting that one out because I was still taking away by all the beauty of everything around wow Wow, I would like to thank the city of Tucson for not letting us be inside for at least one meal. Thank you This has been amazing. I also want to thank all the local bees They to come attack us. Well, we try to have a finale dinner. Thanks a lot to you son. Love it Glad to you son love you the city without walls and ceilings. Amazing. Outside again.

Could someone drop one of these bees into a deep fire and see what happens then? Evelyn, tell us your menu and then tell us about your first dish and then tell us about the biggest celebrity you've ever sat next to eating potatoes at it. Did that potato salad keep? I was a little concerned that maybe some of it would leak out of that bindle on your walk home. And everyone says that she cooks for memory and she grew up Mexican Salvadorian and she's been to Thailand and stuff so she did

scallop crudo prickly pear and a chilterpene chili oil. Wow! Buddha's like he made a hamachi with sauce vinaig with caviar apple, and a sweet potato B, because guess what? My dishes don't thematically connect whatsoever, but I put little twills on, and so the theme is twill, because I've been twilling away in the kitchen. Get it? Get it? Bitter, why are you crying? He's just getting stung by 8 million bees while he stands there. He poor Buddha. You just see him staring at his arms. What is getting me?

This is a full of air, creepy, air, creepy. Do you have a bee on you? All I do, too. Besty. Call me. And then Sarah has her venison and beef tart, tartar with trash. Me, so from sourdough bread butts. So they're, they're, they're, they're diving into the food

and Gail leans into Gregorine goes, I'm getting attacked by bees. I know, Gail, it's almost like you're the bargain ban and the bees are, are you? Wow, you're really getting attacked. So then we cut to Sarah cooking. And she's like, guys, the problem with food Are you? Wow, you're really getting attacked. So then we get to Sarah cooking and she's like, guys, the problem with food is putting it in the trash. Okay. So then she, oh, no, that's what she tells the judges. She's like, guys, the problem with food is putting it in the trash and bad because, wow. I'll have to put that in my next TV special called never watch this people

So some of them like Sorry, Evelyn sorry sometimes in top chef my typing turns so crazy. I can't figure it because there's a lady named Brisha or Brisha. And I wrote it and I was like, wait, did I write this wrong? But then I remembered her name is actually Brisha. Yeah. Brisha, I was confused on my own. Yeah. Yeah.

And Brisha, by the way, so I was she, I was just going to say that her restaurant, Guildeguetsa is here in LA and they are like, Molae and Masters. So I was really excited to hear what you had to say about this. Yeah, it's anyone who wants to love Molae. Yeah, as long as I'm gonna shoot on one LA restaurant and as well, say it'd be nice to another one, which is that if you come to LA

and you want some great Molae, go to Guelguetza. Yeah, love Molae. I'm gonna make a face. I love him only. Yeah, I love Molae. When that face. I love him only. Yeah, I love Molly. That's one that guy lost his initialize every second. So anyway, yeah, I will not be him because that guy was a jerk.

What was that guy's name? Cracker. No, what was that guy's name? He was from Austin. Gabe, yeah, Gabe. He was gross. Yeah, gross. So they think Evelyn's dish is very lovely.

But you know what? The scops are little under-seasoned. So yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Tom gave us out together. Their under-seasoned big deal. Well, Buddha's dish was perfect. Flalless! Oh, that could get, you know, three Michelin stars.

For many Michelin star restaurants, I've ever been to. I mean, that was as many stars as Michelin gives out. There's more stars on this than there are cars, than there are tires on cars. For Michelin, that's how crazy. This was a six wheel dish. Well, six wheels, loved it. And just for the record, I think I'd still be more impressed with my son if he actually drove six-wheelers than being a mixel just there.

I said it. I said it. So then Hunter Lewis from Food and Wine, he's trying to, they're trying to say nice things for Sarah. He's like, well, Sarah's food fit the environment. So yeah, it reminds me of grass and the chairs were sitting on it. It's like, if you ever ate a chair,

this is what it would taste like. It really fits this environment. Yeah, it really has the colors of the desert in them. I'm like, wow, Brown, that's crazy for food. That is crazy. And Gale's like, well, that home no waste thing is so impressive. Yeah, it's like Gail eating Ben and Jerry's cut and so when she's dead. I mean, that really has always been impressive, Gail.

Ha ha ha ha. Waste not want not, am I right? I did fear the tartar. Was it bit under season for me? I didn't like the way I could really taste the poor person behind this. Speaking of, hello, Ed Lee with your Holly-Hobby jacket. What did you think of it? He's like, I love the trash me so, but the misstep was that there was only one drop of it

on there. Yeah, well, you know, her food, you could only find it right now tonight because it's so inspired by the landscape, I actually just ate a piece of gravel, which was, you know, delicious, I have to say. Ah, now we know why all the bees are flocking here. They think it's their actual home.

They think it's behind. It's just like the landscape. Yeah, this is using 80s as moisturizer. That could be another reason. Okay, I'll put that away. So that's neither here nor there. I just wanted to call everyone's attention to it. So Crystal Dumplings and Buddha has tweed. Second course. Second course. So she does her crystal dumplings and Buddha is like,

well, I love to spoil my mom with the best seafood I can get. So I got a frozen lobster from Dickens. You know what I thought? I could get her something fresh that they're offering and said, but I said, no. Mom likes frozen the best, so that's what I got her. Lobster, King Craven, butterfly, tweele, because there's a tweele again.

Call me, Eric. Call me. I've made a cell phone out of tweele. And his tweeles are beautiful though. Oh my God, his last dish. I was like, oh my God. I just wanted to start hot, gluing gun things to each other. He knows it's time for craftmite.

So let's see. So, brisha is like, you know, Sarah's was very corn. It was a corn dish in every, oh, and it, because Sarah's like, I'm gonna give you corn. Then I'm gonna give you corn husk. Then I'm doing Cobb roasted cob, marinated Cobb and husk corn. Great. Sarah, British is pulling a corn, you know, like a long corn hair out of her tooth.

It's like we get it. And by the way, the other thing that Padma's doing that she does in the finale that every year, she's like, to courses to go. No pressure. She loves the countdown. She loves the end of the season countdown. So, um, Gale is like, well, you know what Sarah's uh, she's very passionate. But the flavors were, I know Padma's gonna turn this into something clashing. Okay, everyone, Who wants to go for this? We have dress bar, we have JC Penny. Where do we want to take this joke? It's like the last time Gail tried to wear matching socks and couldn't. What's hilarious?

I just got a memo from the bio-dome saying, unfortunately we had to expel Gail Sim same ins for a clashing with the plants. Even plants have better fashion sense than her apparently. Congratulations, Gail. This game played a cool house. What about everyone's dumplings? They have dumb in the title. So I'm not sure how to feel about it.

So I'm gonna say dumplings like this. Dumplings. And they're like, wow, this is masterful at restraint. It's very simple and unique. And the food and wine guys like she edits things down to their essence. That's like, okay, Patrick Bateman. So then they think that Buddha's seafood cookery is excellent. They think that Buddha's seafood cookery is excellent. But Eric repairs like, well you know, Buddha's dish reminded me of the 80s and the 90s. And that's a lot of technique.

And Richard goes, the 80s and 90s are back though. And he's like, fuck you lady. Are you sure you're just not, are you sure it's just not that you're sitting across from Gail? Gail, what is that? A leopard zebra top? Wow.

Wow. Gail, I told you, don't apply your Aquinette at the table. And at least like, you know, I mean, I'm impressed. I mean, his dish is good if you're impressed with presentation, but not everything needed to be there. That caviar didn't work. Yeah, think of how we said, jobs for caviar. I'm so sick of lazy caviar. Oh, I've had my, I think you misinterpreted what I meant by work. I wasn't really listening to be honest.

Oh, you know, I think it's great. And Tom's like, yeah, what's great, but, you know, maybe Buddha is like, it's a little, a little show off. Huh, I like that he's showing off. It's the finale. Everyone should show off. That's why he's showing off. It's the finale. Everyone should show off. That's why Gail tried to crimp her hair. But unfortunately she crimps broccoli instead.

How awkward. And Ed says, their energy. It's just like something has been unleashed. Her name is Gail. She's right next to you. You can pet her if you want. Just be careful of the eddies. It hasn't quite absorbed into her skin yet

So next up Evelyn is like oh my god Stephanie has goat in every restaurant name She is the goat chef. So minus delicious, but it's pretty messy but god I'm worried what she gonna say about my goat Well, I'll give you a clue. It goes like this. Wow. And Sarah's rabbit is pretty much raw in the middle, but she has to send it out because she's out of town at a time. She's out of town.

Sarah could not be here today, okay? She ended up in Phoenix. So she's zoomed at this rabbit too, so it's really's a screenshot. You can eat the paper if you want. So guess what Patma says when she sees it. Wow. So Sarah's like, well, I roasted you some bunny.

Sorry, I thought that'd be a funny joke. I can go back to my, I made you some food out of waste major oils if you prefer. No? Okay. You're branding it's trash me, so stick with it. So Evelyn's like, I'm doing Kermole, which is curry and mole, curry mole, curry mole,

because I combined both of the techniques of curry and mole. And there's also Nopales and Raisins and Squash seeds. And then Buda serves as Mongolian lamb with roasted eggplant and Sarah does her bunny. She's like, it utilizes every piece of the rabbit. There's actually part of the rabbit's soul in the zoo, which you can taste. part of the rabbit's soul in the zoo, which you can taste. So Eric is like Buddha's lamb was perfectly cooked. It was unbelievable. And the Sky name Janus or Janus love the eggplant the most. And then top of yeah, I mean the eggplant, how is the star? I mean, give me an eggplant dish and go today. I mean just I mean just send me text messages full of eggplants You know I'm saying you know now, okay, I'm getting some inappropriate text messages right now. I don't know why that happened but okay

Eggplant is star never heard of it So Stephanie's like um guys. I cook a lot of goat. Yes, Stephanie. Okay? We get it, okay? You the biggest goat murderer in town, okay? We all bow down to you. So she's like, can this goat need some more flavor? I was like, oh, that's not fair. You can't get the goat lady in here. She's gonna diss everybody's goat. Stop putting coconut in your fucking street corn.

How about that? But I'm not opposed to coconut street corn. I'm just, this was like a sickly sweet coconut. And there was also a chicken that had like a sweet vanilla sauce on it. So yeah, no, that's not okay. Um, yeah. So then Padma goes, you know, I feel like this sauce reads a little top note.

And since I wasn't glitter, I actually am pretty aware of what the top notes and the bottom notes are. So top note is, ha, bottom notes more like, ha, and I feel like this was very, ha, I didn't like it. And it's not a curry if the goat wasn't cooking in the sauce. Pardon me, could you explain that one that's food that she knows how to make? She's like, curry, how could you call this curry? I mean, I was so looking forward to Evelyn blending two of her skills, which of course is being poor and unfamous. I thought this would be delicious, but it wasn't.

This isn't even good enough to be Anne Curry. Alright, let's move on to Sarah's rabbit. Why did you guys think about Sarah's rabbit? And when I ask it like that, I expect you all to say how terrible it is. Thank you, Tom. Tom goes, uh, well, I like the garnish. It's like the man, Tom. Tom's really coming through for these last chance kitchen, you know.

I will say something nice. It was the garnish. You know, I've never seen a twisty tie. A twisty tie used in that creative of a way Got a little bit of it stuck on my tooth. It did hurt a cavity, but otherwise very good very creative And so Stephanie Stephanie is was sort of raw in some places and overcooked in others and then edley grasping to help poor Sarah because you know what though?

Yeah, it was raw in some place over cooked in others, sort of gruesome in some ways, and I didn't really like that there was an actual sticker that said recyclable, but I love the personality, great personality. It's like what is the dish of sister that you're trying to push off at prom, so you can have some alone time to make out with somebody? Who says that. I know. Pam goes, how close is this finale? Well,

I mean, obviously not that close because Sarah just served us literally trash, but how close is everyone else? They gave us the most personal finale we have ever seen. Okay, Gail, just relax over there. Wow, Gail's really this is ushing it down at the end of the table there. It's John DeRons. Hold on, I've got my dear friend, John DeRons. Hi, Gail's friend to have a moment. Could you send over some of that singer-songwriter music you play in your hospital show just for her. Thanks. So now it's dessert plating time and Evelyn's Boon Wellows are messed up and she's like, we just have to keep grinding them out

until we get perfect wins and dessert presentation, guess what Patma says. I'm not even lying. She goes, wow. Oh. Wow. Wow. She's the. Wow. Wow. She's the only one who can add syllables to wow.

The way she can always goes up and then it, wow. Wow. I'll think dessert to really beautiful. And Sarah's like, yee-ho. So. They're all really beautiful, considering that they were made by Donkeys. I go down to the Grand Canyon.

Oh, you guys made them Well, how about a wow like disappointed? So they present their desserts and pumpkin this pumpkin pie thing is so beautiful This is like he used all of those leaves on it is just gourmet He used all of those leaves on it is just gorgia Yeah, Buddha's like this one is dedicated to my wife metaphorically speaking because I like to think that I've married America My wife misses lady Liberty

Marilyn Monroe my theoretical wife of America or Or as I come to know her, Merrillin Monroe. God I love flow. Merrillin Monroe, sorry. I can't believe I almost messed up Flows' name, very un-American of me. Bad Booter. I'm gonna go home and check off to some air-crepair videos until I feel better. This is dedicated to my wife Abigail Adams, whose marriage of course, drawing items,

but I like to think that she's married to my, because I think about drawing on them. The point is, there's no other wife I can really think about, so I had to come up with Abigail Adams. So let's see here. Evelyn does her Boone Wellows, he does his pumpkin custard thing, and Sarah does an acorn cake with smoked bettumilk ice cream. You're done! You cannot cook anymore!

We can all breathe a sigh of relief now everyone. They're not allowed to touch the kitchen. I love when Fatma starts copying people with actual emotions because she doesn't have anything to say. So Eric is like, this night was very emotional. She is, this night was very emotional. Like how I took your thing but added very to it to really make it more mine thing. Wow, I didn't think anything could top my potato salad last night, but tonight proved that some things could sort of approach it. I'm so impressed.

So they left the Boonwallows and Richa's like Evelyn's Boonwallows best I've had. And Gale's like, I don't know if they have this weird shot of Gale eating very excitedly. Let me tell you one thing everyone, there won't be any way tonight, right Sarah? So then, yeah, and by the way, we really haven't talked about the fact, we've alluded to it, but there were so many bees around this table and they had the little things go on, little, little, little kind of things. And they were, I would have gone nuts, just that there was things buzzing around my face, let alone bees.

I wonder if any of them got stung. I don't know. Deep thoughts. I think I feel like if one of them got stung, Padma would have said, wow. So I don't know what could have happened. Eric loved Buddhas. Eric is writing hard for Buddha, which I like, you know?

Yeah. Because he appreciates his fans. And Tom is like, wow, Draco, Malfoy, you know, and that play on leaves. Beautiful. Beautiful, just really. Wow, whoa, whoa. And it's like brought it here to my eye.

Now not as much as that half cooked, but overcooked rabbit. God, she could tell a joke. But it did bring, almost bring it here to my eye. Is that your sad face? Sorry, it's a Mars knot here, so I have to really put this on someone else. Do you wanna cry?

Do you wanna cry, Ed Lee? Who's my problem? There was a maple caramel at the bottom of that. Words of, why isn't there more? That's what it needs. It needs more maple caramel at the bottom of that. Words of why isn't there more? That's what it needs. It needs more maple caramel. Caramel, that would have tied it together because without that, it's just a little maple caramel.

But there needs to be more maple caramel. It's like, okay, that Tom's found something to be upset about. Uh, then Janos says that his favorite was the Acorn Cake. And Eric repairs like, will I never thought I would like Acorn in my life? I'd never even tried it before. Oh well Gail's a real pioneer in this area, mainly because she just likes to compete with squirrels for things on the ground. And now for a judging poetry slam poetry moment with Padma Lakshmi.

Beautiful warm comforting and seen thank you very much everybody wow it's great so Tom thinks that the Boonwellos were the best thing on the table and Gregory who's there of course is like well they really brought themselves and they really did their best for the finale. It was such a beautiful night. And Pat was like, I'm incredibly proud of our wows tonight. We have a big decision to make. I play Powder Puff football.

Let's go back to the court house, everybody. As a graduate of a Powder Puff football program, I understand what it means for things to come down to the wire. So with that being said, let's call Ali Wong. Hi Ali, guess what? I'm eating food in Tucson. I know. Yeah, there were a lot of these.

It was scary, but they're all on Gail, so it was kind of hilarious. It was like that movie with McCulloch and but not the same ending So I was a little sad. Okay, bye In this version of the ending based on Gail and they've had from diabetes to right away It was saddest thing I've ever seen Sarah was in tears for the rest of the evening Well, she turned all those dead bees into me says so it was happy ending after all turned all those dead bees into Mises. So it was happy on the after all. Yeah, I was not looking shocked, okay?

I'm stuck having bagels with. Be as Mises on them tomorrow morning. Thanks a lot, bees. Yes, we saw. Well, we got three completely different meals from three completely different chefs. That was my monologue, Spinnelong season. You told your story. It was great.

Be asked, trash me. So, what the? Padma? Well, Tom, you really, you really, really opened our eyes to things. Three different meals from three different chefs. Well, I blew me away with that one. Glad we came all the way down from the Killing House, for here you say that. Sarah, your food was a real conversation starter.

We all looked at our tartar and we said, wow. I've never thought of making anything that looks like an autopsy before. Well done! You know, it was a real conversation starter and that we took one button said, we'd rather talk the meat right now. Great combo. And Sarah's like, well, I really wanted to show food in its raw form. Wow. You should be kidding.

Don't tell Gale that's why. I've got to unhark her jaws from any side of beef that comes through here It's a level of thinking not only where food came from, but where food needs to go down your golet God, that's the shortest map I've ever read And those maps are for sale at the courthouse by the way I dropped them in a deep fryer first. I mean, you made butter? You made bread? Oh, so many things that you made. Wow, I just wanted more seasoning on the tartar.

You know what, I mean the tartar, that tartar had a funkiness that I loved because it's made of garbage gel for crying out loud, listen to her. It was just like a cake-eat-mad at the trashcan the next day, just like Miranda Gale likes it. So Buddha is like, well, one of my favorite dishes. Is the neurotic Eric Repair dish from Frischel, a French laundry, which I've watched to make on YouTube over and over again. Oh, and Eric's like, we like thought it was luxurious and decadent. And Pam and goes, you are really reaching for some lofty touchstones

when you talk about Eric or Thomas Keller. And I think, he used it on par with these great Titans today. Gail, no, I'm not saying you stand on a tub of eaties. I'm saying he stands Nevermind Flallously executed one of my favorites from the whole meal I appreciate it that you're using greetings that were not garbage. Thank you so much for considering us that you're using ingredients that were not garbage. Thank you so much for considering us. Haha, haha, haha, haha.

So then Evelyn, they're like Evelyn, tell us about your food. And Evelyn's like, I'm Mexican, so I made Mexican food. And Stephanie's like, well, I like this. And you know, it can be tricky to get that balance of the goat and then the other kind of goat and then like the goat neck,

which is my favorite day of the week by the way, some people call it hump day, I call it goat neck day, you who love it, but you know what? You did it, you did it, you did curry mole, which I mean wow. Okay enough out of you lady, let's talk about all of your second courses. Sarah, were you happy with your tortellini? There's only one right answer and it's not yes. Were you happy with your shame, Alini? Tell us the truth. And she's like, yes. Well, I think the three sisters, you know,

that you used in that tortellini, they brought cousins. Making family, family dad joke about your tortellini. Which is, I don't really get it, but I did make it. So, someone should eat it, right? Oh, God, Tom. Last thing we need is you making jokes about three sisters, am I right? Well, anyway, your tortellini was shit. I'll say it. The three sisters were named shit, shit, shit, shit. Your your totally was shit

The three sisters were named shit shit shit shit. All right Sick shit and bland that was the three sisters names Yeah, they used to be an NBC sitcom called three sisters to start Diane Cannon and Vicky Lewis and guess what Even though it was sitcom is still a better version of Torotolini than you ever. Sorry, I'm really trying. It was a tough pull for me for this kind of time. I'd rather eat that sitcom than your Torotolini ever again. And girls like, but the depth of that broth was wonderful.

I just think that the ideas were too big for its bowl. Wow, what was the bowl like, your jeans or wet gale? Get to the point. Wow, this is coming from the woman who wears kool-ots on her hat. Boota, you have this beautiful, luxurious laksha, beautiful harmony, talent, skill, comfort, grace, wrench. I'm sorry I'm just thinking of words now. Sorry I, I was just trying to remember the things that were on my words screensaver because my laptop says those things. I didn't love the salmon row with pickled carrot it just didn't fit in. Yeah, it was like, Gail and her high school trip to Europe.

God bless it. Ha ha ha ha. Hey, Evan. You know, your food has become much lighter and much more bright. It's a very joyful dish. It's the sort of happiness that I imagine many fathers feel when their sons found their footsteps. But unfortunately, I can only experience that through your dish.

Your dumplings, your dumplings were like beautiful little jewels. Yes, Gail got married with the ring pop, so that's what she's coming from with that one. So then we go to Sarah and Sarah's like, I wanted to utilize rabbit. Rabbit are underutilized. Every time I see a rabbit in the road, I think that could be utilized. And I did it. Too many rabbits are walking around happily in this world. I'm here to fix that.

Call the rabbit population. Call the rabbit. Sarah, so you can stop protesting. Someone hold Sarah back, please. We could do it. Jumping at the table like she's moving for us to protest, but no one's actually holding her arms back. Wotters like down with watershed. Am I right down to the rabbits? Okay, more dead rabbits more dead rabbits Sarah, please don't spray paint Buddha's fat. She's just spray painted Buddha's face

Wow, I think this the first time I've actually wanted beaded to come in here so Wow, I think this is the first time I've actually wanted Beaded to come in here. So of course I'm referring to the character from the Hunger Games played by a famous person I'm friends with. Anyway. So, Stephanie is like, well, I think that the cook on that rabbit was a little too fast, but the work that went into it was amazing. Unfortunately none of the work really cut parts of the rabbit cooked or it overcooked other parts but really great job, great personality.

You know what, I love that you carried the narrative you wanted to tell us through your whole meal. I love the story of saying, hey we're not going to waste a single piece of this rabbit and then you cooked it so shitty that we all wanted to throw it out. I love that irony. Good job. And Buddha, you did technically fall asleep, but it was just a little too cleaned up. No, it's just a little too cleaned up. But you'll take that right, Buddha. Right?

And he's like, I'll take it. I will take it. You know what, I thought the eggplant was the star of the show. I mean, it had to be the star of the show because getting a lot of eggplant texts from a lot of men with beards. So eggplant's clue to star. Everyone loves them. Oh, so Stephanie is like Evelyn.

I work with goat, finger guns, finger guns. They're finger gunning at each other. And girls like, I'm not sure why you didn't cook the goat in the sauce because I mean, if it's going to be a curry, it needs to be cooked in the sauce. Wow, single white female over there stealing my line scale. I'm sorry, is guilt. Why is guilt suddenly sitting with the shawl only one over one shoulder and he really else knows that Hold on let me call my best friend Alie walk hi Alie. Oh, I'm interrupting you're on the phone with someone else with who

Gail what's going on? I Think there's a cow in my backyard What I think there's a cow in my backyard. What? Oh, no, it's a deer. It's a big deer. Geez. Wow. Well, don't draw a Sarah.

She'll make Carpacho out of it. I'm using every part of you, cow deer. Oh, it just laid down out there. How cute. It was scratching its butt at the same time, Bueller was. That's why I noticed it. I got to wish I got a picture of that. I'm glad you didn't try to milk it.

Could have been awkward. I'm only oat milk now. Thanks. I'm an oat milk guy now guys. OK. So enjoy your thin milk experience. Kill more rabbits. So let's see, goats. God God I just got distracted by a cow

bear scratching his face. I'll tell you something. I'm talking about cow deers. Here's the thing, Evelyn. You missed an opportunity to bring the mole and make her its lavers into the meat of the goat. Instead it was very... I guess one could say top note. as Mariah Carey would say woo woo that was topping out as Mariah Carey wouldn't say we don't belong together okay Sarah, the dessert made me feel like a child again and it made Gail eat like a child again. Oh, you have a bib. Oh, these are the first time I eat aiko in my life. And Stephanie's like, oh my God, and the sauce,

I may go to my restaurant. And Tom's like delicious, you know, you're just, you're staying true to you and you are you know trash there I said it and Buddha the leaves the leaves and the caramel the caramel and the leaves you really made me appreciate pumpkin pie which I've learned today nobody appreciates anymore thanks a lot Ben that Gail's comment has so much more context you really change how I'll ever look at it again. Yes, and by the way, if anyone is having some foliage issues on their lawn, Gail has now offered to eat the leaves.

The new leaf sucker. Gail Carmo Simmons. 2022 was all about the leaf blower. 2022-23 is all about the leaf eater. Congratulations, gal. Oh, but I have to say, the maple was the sauce. But then there wasn't enough sauce. Where was the sauce?

Because there was so much cake, but there was a lot of cake, but not enough maple, and then the balist was off. You're throwing off the balance. What are you doing? You threw off the entire balance of everything. I can't do a little again. I can never even ever look at it.

Look Tom, fucking calm down. It's like you're only complaint and you're really mad about it. Calm. I know. Evelyn. Let's talk about you, Benwallow. We all loved it, and Ed Lee even put it in his blazer, which was hilarious because I thought that cheap blazer can't look any worse, and then once it had been while I greased on

it, I was wrong. A step thing is like that, the panakata was too firm, but the flavor of it was fantastic. Chefs, I want to say something right now. Thank you for your heart. Thank you for your effort. Thank you for handing me that napkin. Gail wipe your face. All right everybody. We have the biggest decision to make of our lives.

Please go back and be poor. Sometimes there's a microwave. And I just want to say, it's been a pleasure getting to know you through your food. So go on your way. Rob, Tina, and Louise. Those are your names, right? It's been a pleasure getting to know you. Well, let's talk private now. Well, be fart.

Well, I mean tartar. Wow, be fart. Well, I mean tartar. Wow, be fart. In a tartar. That was, but you know what? You compare it to the other two things and a full short. You know, and if it did fall short, it would immediately be butchered, and even his toes would be used to knock out the untartar, which I don't know. I don't know if I would like beef toe.

There, I said it. I don't know, I think, sirs. Yeah, I mean, it fell short and, you know, we've seen Evelyn's dish before, you know. Barely, galleat mine off my plate. Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha. But I mean, the only problem with that dish is that it was sitting next to Buddha's first course, and Buddha's was as good as Austrian peros. I mean, it's just like poor Brisha here having to sit relatively close to me.

No one's gonna remember her poor thing. She even bought a new cat patched me enough for this event. Make a brisha, am I right? Well, you know, I just have to say Buddha is mature way beyond his years. Yeah, like Gail's underarms. Skill. Really? And second, let's go with Sarah's dish.

And Eric is like, oh, it was confusion. There was too many elements in this. Like, is YouTube free? Do people get YouTube for free? And I'm not even thinking, it's really a shame. Because the coinpad was just so flavorful. Poor trash Sarah. But let me tell you about Evelyn.

Those little dumplings that Evelyn gave us, I did let her glassy translucent and miniature they were. Wow, it's like they're all grains of paradise, which I have. Very rare, by the way. So Eric, you thought the Buddha's was dated, right? Wow, a light gale. One thing they'll never say about Gale, buddhas was dated, right? Wow, I like Gail. One thing they'll never say about Gail. Wow, she was dated.

Hahaha. And that's of course we're talking about her kool-ats. Again, on her hat. Hahaha. And Eric is like, well you know in the 80s we were prisoners of these techniques, but now we are free. We are free to judge people for doing things wrong. We are free to judge people for doing techniques that we force them to do all through the

80s and 90s. So now let's talk about the third course or as I call it. Wow, wow, wow, three wow, third course, get it? Wow. Did you mean to wow? Let's get it. Wow. Did you mean to wow? Did you mean to wow? Well, I thought there was beautiful goat and the sausage is draped on top, but they weren't.

Harmonious, I mean, do I have to make the kool-ah joke? A third time in a row for crying out loud, people. Someone help me. We need harmonies here. They can't all be top notes. Am I right, Mariah? So Stephanie's like, you know, I mean, Sarah's course was nice.

I mean, she used every part of the animal, but do we really need these? Every fucking part. You know, there was just too much going on. There was too much. When we got down to the rabbit's lip gloss, I was a little bit done either. I think I was this sauce made of rabbit iPhone. I just, I was too

much. So Tom's like, yeah, there were way too many grains, too much grain sauces, too grainy, and some ways she wouldn't get the green a little that joke Wow That that demi-gloss was delicious and shiny. I loved it beautiful creative and Fatic cursive tabletop fork Oh, I thought I was gonna say one more word, but I chose not to. Pause. Surprise, I'm quiet. Let's go on to the dessert.

Wow. That brings us to Gail's breakfast. Dessert. Gail goes, well, if I think of the dessert, I want to eat again and again. It was everything, right Gail? Sorry, got a limit it. Hmm, I want to eat Evelyn's again and again. And boy, did you.

But the panic hotdog was, you know, like half of that, half of it was good, but like, it was hard. It was hard. Wow. And now we're gonna criticize people for getting too hard. God, you really can't win with this crowd. I loved it. First, you want Zeke Plath. Now, we can play it's about things being too hard.

Hmm, I think that went over Tom's head. Should want to throw her an extra-catch it. Well, you don't want to think, you know, the Panacotta, you know, it's just too firm. I should wanna throw her an ex-science catch it. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Alright, let's move on. Eric, what do you think? And he's like, Buddha, very impressive, de-esthetic, but maybe some more sauce. You know, I don't know, but I feel like I should be angry, so I will say, caramel molasses. Caramel molasses. I'm doing this right, right? Am I earning check? You're doing great. You're doing great over there. No, I was really impressed with Sarah's acorn cake.

I thought it was really wonderful. Delicious. Yes, and I thought it was totally innovative. Well, gal, it's maybe an innovation for you using a caramel cake as a bra, but for everyone else, it was just a cake. Acorn cake, the only channel, the only channel cake I can watch Brenda Bladden mystery shows on. Delicious.

And it's definitely like, I want to drink a cup of the caramel. Sorry. Drink, drink, give, girl. You know who drank it at the end there. I'm not talking about the bees. Well, all three of our chefs accomplished what they set out to do. They stayed poor and sweaty. Evan and Buddha were more technically successful. Buddha showed us dazzling fireworks display and took us on a journey and Evan and got on a horse.

I think we have our next top chef. Do you like how it just dropped Sarah from the conversation, not even bothering? Right? Someone throws some change on the ground so they know to come running back in. You know, chefs, what do you give us tonight? Well, it's absolutely extraordinary. More importantly, you're realizing what it is that we do. It's about connection to family, but also the community, the people you work with, all the different Sam alliads in your community,

and if you're the future of our industry, we're in... It's okay, hands, I guess. The truth is, when you look at Sam all you think, God, you could have been a Nash-nau, and then you think, hey, wasn't he in the right stuff? Maybe he wasn't a Nash-nau. You thought, no, you're chefs, you guys are, you guys could have been a national. And then you think, hey, wasn't he in the right stuff? Maybe he wasn't a national. He thought, no, you're chefs, you guys do have the right stuff. And maybe you guys can go get space one day.

If you don't. You guys, you guys were as masterful as Sam Waterston in a Sam Elliott film. So that's good. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I wish that Sam, watch that in Sam Neal and Sam Elliott. We're in a movie directed by Sam Mendes. Ha, ha, ha, ha that in Samuel and Sam Elliott. We're in a movie, torched by Sam Endos. And I am Sam, a Padma.

Padma? Boona. Sorry Tom, is it my turn to speak? I was getting bored. Boona, your name's not even Boona. You're in the next Top Chef person I don't really know whose name. One. You are top chef.

Now could you clear these dishes out from behind us? Thank you so much. Kyo, stop eating things from the ground. It's a leaf. It's delicious. Ah, we've got to stop shooting outside. Seriously, this is getting embarrassing. Okay, get someone just sweep up all these dead bees

and give them to Sarah. She's got some sort of miso deadline. She keeps yammering on, I don't know. And Buddha's like, I can't believe it. I'm just a 15 year old boy from rural Australia with only three people in my family and never met a woman besides my mother. I didn't dream to be an astronaut. I didn't dream to be an astronaut.

I didn't dream to be anything else. I just dreamed to be close to Eric Repair. My heart has been repeat. I understand. And I actually started crying with beer. I kept such a sucker. Yes, I got salty squirting out of my eyes. I was so confused. I didn't know what happened But yeah, I was crying because he's like I wish my dad was here and pattern is like he is here sweetie Now remind me your name again

Yeah, I'm sure we can find your father Now remind me your name again. Yeah, I just like to support that. I'm sure we can find you, Father. Can somebody call customer service and have to use the microphone? This poor person is getting salt on my past me now. Is your father Sam Elliott by any chance? Because I think there's a Sam Elliott behind the

shack over there waiting to put you on a horse. And that's pretty much it, huh? Yeah, that was the end of the season. I mean, in Buddha, I that was the end of the season. I mean, in Buddha, I thought was the shoe into win, but I started to think that maybe Evelyn was gonna, you know, pull a fast one or something like that, but you know, the truth is I actually really like Buddha,

so I was very happy. I like the picture of them. Yeah, you know, it wasn't the win to win, but I'm glad that Buddha won. He did a great job and his food was a start me. It was beautiful. He was immensely talented. He was really great.

And that wraps up Top Chef for the season. So it's over. Did that need to be an hour and a half? No, but you know what, it's our last one of the season. We just have to get them all in there and get as many dress barns as we can. Get all the, that trash me so references.

I'd like to congratulate Gail who won't be internet bullied for another nine months or so. And of course this was the end of the season. So if you're listening saying, God, that was funny, but those guys are so mean. we love Gail Simmons. This is just what we think have the things about Gail Simmons. Yes. We open the season. Yeah, we open the season with the Gail disclaimer, a disclaimer, Gailmer. How would you say it?

A disclaimer. And we end the season with the Gail disclaimer. Love you, Gail. Stay Gorge. And everybody, thanks so much for being with us this entire season. If you weren't shame on you, go back to the beginning. You're not getting any from error repair. I'll tell you that much.

And we will talk to you next season. We also do other recaps, come listen to those and we'll see you over on Take a Seat. Thanks everybody, love you guys. Bye. Bye. Watch what crap ends with like to think it's premium sponsors. Ain't no thing like Allison King.
