Who's what happens Who's what happens Watch what happens Watch what crap is Who cares what happens when there's so much Who's what happens Who's what happens Who cares what happens Hello and welcome to WatcherCrapins, a podcast that all that crap on Bravo that we just love to watch. I'm Ben Mandelker, can also find me on the Game Brain podcast and joining me is the

wonderful Antelarius hilarious Ronnie Caram. What's going on Ronnie? Well hi Benooming. Hi Rondole. What's, how's it, has it shaken? Oh, it's shaken. It is shaken man. Oh, everything's great.

It's got a little top chef in my life. Got a little love. Got a little buler up my feet. Got some ice coffee. Ready to rumble. Oh, nice. I'm my feet, got some ice coffee ready to rumble. Oh, nice. I'm at the bottom of my ice coffee, and I'm annoyed. I did not get a larger one, because I just want to have,

I just want to sit and swim in ice coffee today. It's one of those days. We're talking top chef today. If you were looking for the recap from the previous episode where they had to make recipes and then have the other chefs cook them. We didn't do a full recap on that. It's kind of part of our bonus episode last week

where we sort of talked about Top Chef and Below Deck and Maritum Edison, we just sort of did a casual catch up on all of them because it was a memory of a weekend. And you know what, we wanted to take it a little lighter, okay? So, but we are back. Today we are back with a top chef recap. And it's good because you know what, last night, you know what I have for dinner last night, Ronnie?

Okay. What did you say, Gale? Gale, what did you say? What did you say? Molle? Did you have Molle or did you have 13 possibly made out of black beans? Okay.

I had tofu. I had, but I had Korean style tofu. So it's only appropriate that we are talking tofu today on top chef. Well, it's not really that appropriate. Just as feels cool. Coincidence. So, love it. Love it.

List it. Okay. It was a very dull anecdote. I get it. You sat. No, you know what I'm doing. I have to, I'll be honest. You did not bore me.

I'm sorry. I make you feel that way. Your security was fed by my, I'm on the Domino's website. No. I mean, that is pathetic. Okay. And here's what I'm doing.

I'm setting up a Dominoes order so that when we are finished Like when we have 15 minutes left I can press send on the order This explains so much There's no we are re-tapping and then all of a sudden you go into like high speed mode where you just are being like and I'm like Gosh, she just is like done. What is going on? I'm like, oh, I should've known all these times a pizza's on its way Yeah What is going on? I'm like, oh, I should've known all these times a pizza's on its way Yeah That does happen so sorry everybody I feel like from now on like if you order the pizza I think it's a great idea, but let me know so I'm not like oh, man. I'm not being funny He just wants to get through this

I'm not competing with the void. I didn't know I just thought you were gonna go into like some recipe or be like you know Well, I'm a garden really knows how to treat a tofu everybody Let me tell you about the rosemary. I was growing Support, you know, but I was like, oh god, I've got time, you know, I just like I got by time I got bought time by a tofu story I sensed I sensed your lack of engagement with with me saying that I thought I was like this I was like I can't wait to tell Ronnie that like, like the night that we watched Top Chef, but I also had tofu, like who to thought I was like, this will be like, wow.

And so you're like, uh-huh. Uh-huh. I was like, oh, I guess I should bring it in. No, actually, it should have sparked something in me because I do eat a lot of tofu because I'm with it. Oh, walk it back. Walk it back. No, I'll give you something, you know,

I'm so sorry, babe, it was not you, it was me. But yeah, I do eat a lot of tofu because I'm vegetarian. Gotta say, it is really difficult to get a good tofu. It's really difficult to make a good tofu. I've not been able to make anything that tastes good. My cousin makes a good scrambled egg using soft tofu that is shockingly not disgusting, but I have not been able to do it yet. So this, I don't

know, you know, this whole tofu thing. I was like, really, this late in the season is tofu. But then I was like, well, it's actually look at, look at what intricate, exciting ingredients it is. You know, actually, it was, well, what I thought was interesting was that there was a dessert challenge with tofu in this. And Mark Bitman, who used to write a food column in the New York Times, he's written a bunch of cookbooks, et cetera. He has a recipe for chocolate tofu pudding. And basically what you do is you take silicon tofu,

put in a blender with some simple syrup and some melted chocolate, and you just blend it. And then it becomes like this, it's so soft and it just takes on the chocolate and the sweetness and then you just put it in the fridge to sort of let it set up, or you could probably just have it fresh out of that,

just know it'll be sort of more loose than you'd want. And it's absolutely delicious and you can add orange zest to it or mint or whatever you want to sort of like jizz it up if you want, but it's absolutely delicious and it's a lot healthier than like a chocolate moose or a chocolate pudding. So I was really hoping I would see something like that on this episode, but instead I didn't so, instead I have to sit here and talk about it for anyone who's interested. So look that up everyone,

because it's a delicious, delicious, healthy recipe. Well, one thing I know about life is that you can put chocolate and simple syrup in literally anything and it will taste good. But yeah, tofu, tofu's a good one if you get it done right, but that's a scary challenge. Yeah. So let's get into it. We start with our final six in the morning, doing like a little cheers.

It's basically Jamie Maria and Dawn are giving us, they're giving us other cheers. And Jamie's talking about how she was, she was a nervous chef when she began, but then she started adapting and understanding and deciding. She wasn't gonna overthink herself, and you know, and she has Maria and Dawn as her support system. So in my mind, I was like, okay, Maria and Dawn, one of them's going home.

Cause usually when it's like, oh, she's totally my support, is when someone gets eliminated. Yeah, especially this season, when they're like women or bonded. Somebody goes home, one of the women go home. Gives me that. Remember that happened at the beginning with Brittany and what's her buns with the red hair? Sasha.

And they're like, oh my god, we are together. We are going to support each other. We are not going to throw each other under the bus. And she's like, Brittany, go home, stupid. Hey, Brittany, the bus just ran over you anyway. I was driving. Twist. Not twist. Sorry, Brittany. It turns out this bus isn't made of racclat. Well you'd be able to survive. So they go into the quickfire and Padma's there with Richard Blaze, but also Gal and Tom.

Tom's like, oh well you didn't think you'd see us here. It's like what I say to my son when I walk into the bar. And I say, I've been expecting to see me here in this dingy old bar, but I came to see if you had that rent check. You don't? Okay, I guess rents on me again. I'm sure you're wondering why we're all here, right? Also, why am I wearing child pajamas tucked into boots? We just wanted to spice things up a bit, like children at bedtime. But that good friend said,otle, let me amend that. Our medium friends at semi-famous

Chipotle sent us products to take use every day to create their amazingly famous food. Wait, they are good friends after all. So Maria's like, oh, I feel like a kid in the candy store. And Pamma says, or a gale in a perfectly fried egg factory, am I right? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Gale at the clearance sale at the end of spring at the dress barn. So you get to use these ingredients to make something unique for us. In other words, not a mole game.

Please, Matt is unique is Gail's hot pink jacket. We don't want our stomachs to go blind. Judges draw knives. Um, also Maria. She's like, Oh my God, there's so many Mexican ingredients. Yeah, they're also also ingredients like for it's onions and tomatoes. Maria. Yeah. I know. Judges, please draw knives. So Gail's like, oh my God, I have been waiting 15 years to do this. Just like I've been waiting 15 years to wear something semi stylish. Gail, get to it. So fucking blaze, everything that blaze says, I just write down and you, I,

I can just feel the bitterness in my typing I don't know what it is. So she picks Gabe and Jamie and blaze goes noise I know Gale picks up the knife and she goes okay everyone stand back people. Yeah, that's what I always have to say to everyone at the fondue Pop whenever Gale walks in the room Gave and Jamie you're cooking for G. Byron and Don, you're cooking for Tom. Marie and Shota, you're cooking for me. Don't fuck it up stupid. Oh, by the way, we didn't forget about you, Richard. As hard as we tried. You're something about Mary Cumbings

or cemented into history, unfortunately. Richard, you'll be the gal for this challenge. You get to taste everything. Today's place goes by Gale's nickname. Old left-over lover. Chefs, we are going to choose our favorite chefs and then Richard's going to choose the best of the three. And I'm sure you're no stranger to feeding diners with very different tastes, so let's have a little fun with this one. Tom, what would you like to see in your dish? Um, what?

Um, in the mood for tangy and crunchy. Sounds delicious to me, huh? Right, everyone? Right? No. Gale, whether you're in the mood for for it has to be smoky and charmed. Oh, I'd like something spicy and tart and should It's like oh no, I'm screwed. This is Maria's forte And then Richard Richard plays goes these ingredients can be turned into an infinite number of things. So have fun with it.

It's like, yeah, thanks, Richard Blaz. It's an onion, it's lettuce, it's garlic. Who would have thought, thanks for the pep talk about how to use these ingredients. I was like, oh man, what are we gonna do with these very common aromatics and standard ingredients? Chicken, what do we do with chicken? Good luck, chefs. common aromatics and standard ingredients. Chicken, what are we doing? Chicken.

Good luck, chefs. Your time starts now. So let's see. Shoda is grateful. This is just a quick fire because he doesn't use spices in Japanese cooking. He's just gonna try and copy some techniques. He's only seen Maria use all season. Yeah. And Byron's gonna make a mohoho and then Don is like searing a pork chop with pepper

and corn salsa and she talks about how her brother Leroy is a two-time Olympian, which is crazy. I cannot imagine two kids in that family being Olympians. If there are other kids in that family, I kind of feel bad for them. It's like, hi, hi friends. Here's my daughter Don, she's an Olympian and here's Leeroy He's also an Olympian and this is gal Yeah, sort of a mashup of pat and my baby parents is like yeah, but it works

Gal fetches us through emotes So Jamie's like I just knew I wanted corn because I could make it like charred and smoky and when I worked it Madly Bay we would char our sauces, so I really want to rep them. Oh my god. Did I sound nervous saying that I used to be so insecure But now I'll fight somebody Jamie has this new thing this episode where she was super insecure, but now she's gonna fight somebody She says it like ten times. She's like I used to be scared, but now she's gonna fight somebody. She says it like 10 times. She's like, I used to be scared, but I can fight now. Even though I look like Hello Kitty.

They're sending Jamie up to go to the finale. I think which means I just cursed Jamie, which means she's actually going to go home this next episode. But I think that they're setting her up for the finale because they're giving her this arc of, I was nervous, but now I'm confident, you know? Yeah, they're like, you cannot just be a happy person who makes funny sounds, but it's okay. You better get sad about something or you're at it. Do you have any family members with drug addiction problems that we call?

Have you left any of your children overseas for the past eight years? I mean, give us something. And Gabe is trying to contribute to her arc because he's like Jamie has a fire inside of her that she wants to prove that she knows how to cook with these ingredients. I'm like Onions and steak and garlic Can she prove it these very very tricky ingredients? Yeah, but games like oh, yeah, but let's see who beats who on the smoky chart salsa games like, oh yeah, but let's see who beats who on the smoky chart salsa. Yeah.

I guess he's the he wants to show that he wants to know how to cook with those ingredients, but my point still stands. These are like, these are not strange esoteric ingredients. It's like chipotle pantry. I'll tell you what is strange, a fast food place that uses that much fresh shit. You go Chipotle. I love them. I wish I could get it chipotle. I've really approved with you. I like bahaw fresh more. I'm not gonna lie. Also, you want to talk about someone who can work with tofu. That is Chipotle. What do they call that? So Fritas? The... I never got it.

Oh, so good. I guess that's tofu, right? It's like shredded tofu. It's actually relate to loss. It's like shredded tofu. It's actually relate to loss. Great. So, showed us like, I'm actually a big fan of Padma. I actually have a selfie with her from a book signing in Seattle. And then we see a photo for being like, well, I guess I'll pose with you non-famous person whose path I'll never cross again.

Look at me posing with nobody again. So Dawn is running behind with her crispy onions. And so she's pushing it and Byron forgets his meat and it's on fire. So now this is an episode where a lot of things are on fire. Because you know, Tom Jeff is they love that. So they're like, you know, there's not as many people left guys. Not as much drama show a lot of pants on fire The producers were like so last episode we really liked when that when that bamboo basket caught on fire

Do you think we can maybe up that a little bit? Maybe have a few different things catching fire this time. I think it'll play well in middle America Oh, yeah, they had some really good bamboo drama, which we'll get to you later times Oh, yeah, they had some really good bamboo drama, which we'll get to you later Smells good in here unlike my son's apartment Spacely smells like socks and overdue bills Smells great Tom like oh wow Way to one up way to one up Tom smelling good blade. Yeah, seriously. Smells great. Shut up.

So, uh, Shota is first, and he's like, uh, for today, we have a spicy avocado puree with sauteed spinach, and then Gail Winks at him. I was like, Gail. Yeah, Gail's like, I wanted that one, right? That's for me, right? Or was it? It puts us hurt.

No, she just winks. She's like, Gail's being really weird with that one sometimes gals He's a giant egg in the corner and flirts with it. What can I say? You served gala pork loin and it's like she's on the bass for the red Being vulnerable as being served gravy fries Like the Padmas just such a queen at all times. Maria, what did you make for me? And she's like, I made you a black bean tortilla with fresh avocado salsa.

Listen, Maria, I love you. I'm rooting for you to win this whole fucking thing. Stop making tortillas out of weird shit, okay? Get some flour. All of you, just stop it. I'm getting annoyed with the like crazy tortillas. Get some flour and some water and some lard and put that shit down my throat Okay, black bean tortilla. Wow, I feel like gal at a tort at a twinky buffet. This is a hard one

Hmm, I love your tortilla even though it's quite strange. Okay, I lied. It's stupid Shoda I'm so surprised because the the spice level. My scalp is itching, it's itching and that's not a compliment. Okay, I spend 10 hours in here and make up for this. So stop making my scalp, it's Shoda. Tom, that's what happens when people have hair. I'm hair, I'm gonna go with Shoda. Do you want to try? Maria, does that make you cry? Maria, something that might get you kicked out of Mexico forever.

I didn't find you're so spicy. Wow, and even if it were spicy, I think a way to cool down my mouth would be with your tears. Does that make you cry a little bit more? Maria's like, well, I didn't want to kill Richard and time goes, wow, yeah, but you're going to get past Papa to get to Richard, which is totally what they're going to say when somebody comes in and tries to like hold this place up for hostage, you know.

It's like, get through jail to get to Padma, to get to Richard. So Maria's all dead. Get some together, human shield. And by human shield, I mean, just kind of like a general barricade. No one wants to shoot the inside of a chicken nugget. Am I right? So no, it's Dawn and she serves up a wood-fired pork loin with crispy onion and poblano avocado puree and then Byron has a mojo grilled pork butt with poblano corn and onion salad with a tomatillo salsa.

with poblano corn and onion salad with a tomato salsa. Wow, both have a good acidity and the meat is, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This has a crunch. This is some crunchy meat, Don. Don, congratulations. Congratulations, Don. You're in the something Gail never does in the morning to win this challenge.

Running. Congratulations, Don. You're in the event that your brother did better at in the Olympics running. So then Jamie does a grilled skirt steak and gal goes there it is. What gal a coupon for the dress barn. Gal, stop trying to put on the skirt. Stop it, Gal. You're getting blood everywhere. Oh, God.

So Jamie says, so Jamie gives a grilled skirt steak with a spicy tomato sauce on corn and Gabe has a bay leaf oil, pork loin, smoked salsa, and avocado. So, alright, Gale, wipe all those potatoes off your mouth. Okay, who has your favorite dish? Let me guess, it's gonna be whoever you can get to say charred about most. You love that word. Gale really loves that word. And just remember that all products from the Cadbury Cream Egg Company are not eligible

for this Gale. Gale, you're not celebrating pride just because you said char. had where a cremeh company are not eligible for this gal. Gail, you're not celebrating pride just because you said char. Okay, that's share stupid. Gail, you're not celebrating pride just because you have every single color all on your cheeks from eating that with your mouth. Okay. Oh, charred gal. Char, bark, char, rubbery eggs. I will never forget that. um... um... charred gale charred bark

Shaka gal. Shaman line of an ending. Shaka. Shaman line of an ending. I don't think so. Celebrity Beef, you never know if you're just gonna end up on TMZ or trending on Twitter or in court. I'm Matt Bellasai. And I'm Sydney Battle, and we're the host of Wonder E's new podcast, Dis and Tell.

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 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. You can listen ad-free on the Amazon Music or Wondering app. So uh, so, Richard, of the three chefs, who do you think is the least famous? And also had the winning dish. Well, it came down to what chef hit the char on the head. And that chef is...

Dawn! Dawn, you did it Dawn! Congratulations Dawn, you still haven't won the Olympics, but you did win $10,000 from our good friends who are not quite as famous as our other friends. At Chipotle! You also got galed to wear steak as a skirt, so that was funny. Ha! Now, let's welcome our newest addition to the All-Star Judging panel. Four times James Beard, Ward Loser, and the founder of the Lee Initiative.

My friend, kind of friend, haven't heard of him in a while and Harris. It's Ed Lee, partner. Never mind. I don't even know this person. Please welcome my friend and the star of the movie for which he did not win an Oscar. Pollock. Ed Harris. Ed Lee. Um, Ed Lee. Don't know him. Sorry. I'm not familiar. Let's welcome my good friend, who's fantastic in primal fear with Richard Geer, Mr. Ed

Norton. Uh, still, Ed Lee. Mm-hmm. Sorry, can we reshoot that? Can we get somebody that I recognize in here? Thanks. Please welcome my friend and style icon, Mr. Edward Sizzerhands.

That's actually not even a real person and I actually have full hands. Do you have a Netflix comedy special like my dear friend, Alimonde? No. Okay, well, I don't know you, but let's welcome someone who can not only lose a James beard of war with grace, but can also play the triangle and slick his hair up like an antenna

on an old television. Mr. Ed Grimley. Please, please welcome someone who has only three letters across both his first and last name. Mr. Ed Lee. Please welcome the first horse that we've ever had on this show Mr. Ed. Please welcome. You can't pop a horse. I'm gonna... Please welcome one of the pioneers in drag, Miss Dame Edna.

That's a spreadsheet. My shut up, Gayle, and I was talking to you. So suddenly, I'm very excited. Chefs, brace yourselves. Normally, she leads with a pun into the elimination. Like, normally, if the elimination is about roasting a pig, she'll say something like, chefs, for this challenge, you're going to be oinking at something. I mean, they're not always good puns, but she'll usually put this time as like brace yourselves

Tading back over 2000 years this delicacy traveled about Many Asian cultures over the centuries and eventually made its way into American kitchens over a hundred years ago and eventually all over Gail's face any guesses Tonka's tell food Donkers. Tell-foo. Yes, tell-foo, Don. I'm very good. I told you to brace yourselves. Look at them all falling over these poor, unknown souls. So guess what? The oldest tofu maker in America is here in Portland. It's crazy, right? So, uh, showed us like, well, I'm in my 14 now.

So, what, showed us like, well, I'm at the dress barn just walking through the aisles just somehow emerges with all these patterns on herself. So, for your elimination challenge, we want you to show off the versatility of a stupid ingredient. Tofu! And they're gonna do this tournament style. Praise yourselves. We're picking knives. And Dawn goes, what the fuck? So they're gonna have to use three different kinds of tofu, extra firm, firm, and medium.

So Shota versus Maria's first, and now Shota's turf, like you said. And so then it's Gabe and Dawn who have firm and then Jamie and Byron have extra firm and the losers face off in a three way of fried tofu. Then there's only gonna be two losers left and those losers have to carry a cook against each other and then there's only gonna be one loser left and we're all gonna to say don't worry, girl, I'm sure you're going to get another season anyway. And whoever loses will be eliminated and has to bring a box of soft tofu to gas apartment

in New York City. So if they're in the final round, that's going to be the toughest because they will have to make a dessert using soft tofu. And that's why I was like go to Mark Bittman's recipe. Make a lovely chocolate tofu recipe. You could do it guys. So guess what? You get to go on a tour of the tofu maker. So get out of here. You stupid faces. And for the first time I'm not rooting for Don because she actually says this out loud and I was like, listen, a lot of offensive shit has happened on Bravo in the past year. Well, I mean, really, century.

But let's just start with the year. There's been a lot to deal with on Bravo. But when Don actually says, I don't cook desserts and I don't eat desserts. I was like, just go. Just fucking go. Get off my net. That's enough, arm. You know we We're rooting for you Don we were all rooting for you. How dare you know

How do you say that when Gail Simmons is right there the former host of Top Chef just deserves no So they now drive off to the tofu place and Byron's like I look around and I see Mexican chef and a Mexican chef And I'm the first Costa Rican chef on top chef like we're breaking some ground here and then I was like oh He's gonna go home. God. He's gonna go home because usually That's like the show's way of saying well, he's gonna be gone, but cool, but he gets this he gets this guys He gets it. I was like, oh yeah, but we're still groundbreaking guys He gets this guys, he gets it. I was like, oh, yeah. But we're still groundbreaking guys.

So they go get tofu, a tofu tour. And we see how tofu is made. Okay. So they get soybeans, they grind up, they cook them, they double filter them. And someone, oh, he's like, it's actually very high in fiber. And he picks them up and kind of puts it in his fingers and moves it around.

And Maria, Maria says the most Maria thing ever. She goes, you know what her? It reminds me of Jodie saw. Like, of course it is. You ever heard of Soy Rizzo? I mean Maria could watch like Toy Story and be like, you know what that reminded me of? a good mole. Make a tortilla out of out of whatever stuff like that. That's what the stress playing so beautifully. You know what it reminds me of? A perfect quantity of and my wife and my wife.

wife gets in there too sometimes. So so Piran has doesn't deal with tofu ever, so it's very intimidating for him. So now, they're back in the kitchen, because in the evening they get to have a few hours of prep time, and they have to prep all these dishes, even if they don't wind up making them. So, Maria's gonna make tamales with tofu,

and, and, you know, she's like, she says, she says, you know, Shota, she uses tofu, the way I use lime and chili, you know, Shota, she uses tofu the way I use lime and chili, you know? And then I don't know why I mentioned that. It's like really not interesting. I was like, I took me up every time. I'm like, I took the effort to write it down, so I'm going to recite it everyone. Well, yeah, welcome to Top Chef Notes, right? So Jamie's like, I love tofu.

I like citade, fried. I like it in a soup. I like it in a soup. I like it if it's fallen on the counter and I eat a little bit off with the chip or braised or scrambled or desserts. Or when I'm beating somebody up after being shy for so many years. It's like borderline of Dr. Seuss book.

I like tofu in the morning. I like tofu in the evening. So, show does making a pork braise and he's gonna put all of his effort into course number one, so he can really just sort of get out of there. And then Don's talking about how she loves tofu and she loves, and she cooked with a lot, because she worked in a modern Japanese restaurant, Uchi. But they don't even mention that Uchi is Paul's restaurant, didn't Paul win Top Chef Texas,

or he won one of the top chefs. But I think he got into trouble. Was he, didn't he get into like a, who's a rest of her domestic abuse, something like that? I think he's Uchi Paul. Paul, he must be in Top Chef jail. Is a Texas based Top Chef winner in James spirit award winner recipient.

He operates restaurants East Side King Austin, Tycoon Austin and Powell. He,ient, he operates restaurants east side king Austin tycoon Austin and pal. Okay, what did he do? Okay, redemption narratives, Paul Cree and the problem with redemption narratives. Um, while these come on, when he, oh arrest arrest, here we go. What was he arrested for? He's opening up about his arrest and his path forward. And Austin police officers slapped handcuffs on Paul Kui outside the East Austin restaurant blah blah blah. Okay. After an intense week of drinking and drug use had ended in a violent outburst by Kui that would lead to a misdemeanor, charges of assault and unlawful restraint in an ugly incident that included his girlfriend

and her young son. Oh, yikes. Yeah. He's in top chef jail for sure. If not real, I mean, I think I'd use out of jail, but I was surprised. They didn't even mention him, and this is his restaurant sauce, because normally top chef will brag about anything. If they can, if they can, remember last year when they had to cancel so many of the people that were coming on the show for like, or, but maybe it was a year before, but all the me two stuff that came out and all the abusive chefs and they have so many of them that they could, they had to either cut out

of episodes or you would barely see them. I actually don't remember that. Yeah. Um, so anyway, back to fun. Two times. Tofu, am I right? So, uh, tofu this year, am I right? So they are, so basically they're just like cooking and talking about how they're gonna split up all their, their efforts, et cetera. And Jamie's saying, she's back to doing this thing where she's like, I just always feel underestimated, but maybe it's because I look like Hello Kitty.

But sometimes I'm turning the tiger. Wow. Bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip, bip. Oh. Oh, Jamie. So Dawn is doing some West Indian flavors and she's now this isn't a vegetarian challenge, but it is weird seeing people being like, you know what I'm going to flavor my tofu with meat. Yeah, I've always looked at it as a meat substitute. So to me, it seems like cheating to be like, oh, I'm going gonna use short rib to flavor my tofu. It seems like cheating, but it's not

because it's not a vegetarian challenge. Right. So she is, so you have Don is doing a thing where she's gonna like, I forget what they call it, but she's putting it in a vacuum sealed and she's hoping her tofu absorbs all this meaty flavor, which is funny because it's like, I think to your point, she's trying to emulate meaty flavor, which is funny because it's like, I think to your point, she's trying to emulate meaty flavor

by marinating it essentially with meat, but it's kind of like where you could just serve meat with like, you know, you know, you need to have a challenge. So, and then Maria, she hates her chorizo and she hates it. And so she just kind of tosses it all. And, because again, I don't know if she's had soy rezo. So that's probably she had had it before she might have realized what a bad path she was

going down. And so that stuff's not good. It's bad. And it's bad. Yeah, so she's going to just she's going to just change to her tamale to like potatoes and raisins with with some tofu in it. Yeah, and then we it's morning and we are getting very sad via Lindrama. It's like, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,

was like, who died? What's going on? And then it's gave to sharpening his knife. So like, why does it get to sad music while he sharpens his knife? And he's like, why does it tell us? Yeah, why it's a annoy me? Yeah, he's like, this is super crit. I'm like, glad you got that sharp sharp knife for the tofu challenge So then they go to the Japanese gardens and Top chef that they're so dramatic with their b-roll and so there's I forget what you call it It has a name and I know it because I believe it's also in animal crossing

But there's basically like a bamboo, but there's basically a bamboo stick, and there's water running through it, and it falls into another bamboo stick, and the second bamboo stick sort of swivels downward, and then it comes back up for more water. It's like, oh, cute. And then... But the way it does it, because it's like,

we go over the bridge, and we see the garden, and the music's like, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, don, and the bamboo just slaps back up. And it's like, wow, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don don so funny. Welcome back everybody. Shota Maria Yadmedium she repeats. She goes through a whole monologue this time she's like here's what's happening today. Shota and Maria have one kind of tofu. Jamie and Byron have another kind of tofu and then the other people have another kind of tofu. We are we are being joined by our semi-famous judges have another show in a garden for Buddhas

on a show called Top Shows. Like, are they just letting Padma like, mom along right now? What is that? Cut it, cutting it out. You'll notice that everyone up here on this panel is wearing cool leather jackets, except for Gail.

I don't know what's going on with her top. I just see a whole bunch of little polka dots going on there. Splash her hat. She tries. What was with Gale's outfit? She was wearing like a saloon outfit, like those big puffy shoulders.

Yeah, she loves the shoulder this time. She's either wearing like the shoulder, clip shoulder pad dresses the season, or she's, it's always something shoulders with Gale. So this one's like a big puffy, like saloon shoulder, but it's like a mini mouse polka dot. I'm not sure what's going shoulders with gal. So this one's like a big puffy like saloon shoulder, but it's like a mini mouse Pokemon I'm not sure what's going on with it. They look like little kites actually. I don't know. I wasn't sure if it was like a nod to anything

But It just is funny because they were all in these like hipster cool leather or platter jackets like oh look We're wearing cool jackets today because we're outside and then gale's just in puffy's leaves yeah so uh having a swell chef I hope you like tofu ha ha that's last night I called up my dear friend leader wait and I was like hey for next season of the shy how about you have a storyline about someone who doesn't like tofu? And then they have to go through life, not liking tofu. And then one day, they wind up as a, as a judge on top chef, and they

have to judge tofu. And then the beautiful and very famous host says, well, guess what? Hope like tofu. I think it'd be great. The shy, that's what they used to call me, before I got some confidence. And now I'm ready to murder somebody. Not you Jamie, calm down over there. Here's what it says. Here's what it means with my notes says. Gail and polka dots.

Oh, so there's my note about it. Okay, so Maria's like, my life depends on tofu tamales. This is sad. And we see how it says, medium tofu is a great Is a great what is I've put a long agent oh It's a great blending agent thanks gal

It adds viscosity and it adds creaminess and silkeness we get it gal we get it And char gal that doesn't even make sense. Meanwhile, Tom is dressed. He has a fedora on, but it's like an adventured fedora. Like he's about to like get a machete and go bushwhacking in the back of the gardens there to like find some treasure. Like Tom, yeah, why are you dressed like this? Girl, Tom retired in Australia this year. No one knows what's going on with Tom. So then, um, Ed is like, you know, the thing is with medium tofu is it's probably the most versatile, but it lacks the most identity. Like gas fashion totally get it except my versatility. Am I right,

everyone? So first is Gabe and Tom firm tofu round. So Gabe has his glaze reducing, and Kwame goes, you know what I'd love to see from Gabe? A bright acidic sauce. Really Kwame? Really? Has Gabe not given you very many bright acidic sauces? That's literally all he does Kwame. Ugh. So then Don is like, well, my braising like would taste

some amazing and Gabe is like, are you trying to share me, Chef? Are you trying to share me? And so then Chris and just started laughing. It was scary me. Did I say, share me? Yeah, well, I mean, that makes it kinky here. You just make this so kind of real kind of kinky.

Well, either way, Don is sort of like posturing and Gabe was like, you're trying to scare me. So then Chris and laughs, Chris and it's like, and then it cuts the pam, and going, ha ha ha ha. Chris and laughs, so I can laugh louder. Chris and you laugh. Kristen laughs Kristen's like and then it cuts the pammer going Kristen laughs so I can laugh louder Kristen you laugh places places like This is how you laugh at an unfunny person being unfamous Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Tom, go find a dinosaur ready, won't ya? So Dawn is finding that cryovacking did not work as well as she hoped with the tofu,

and then Maria's tamales aren't done, and so she's gonna like cook them in the wok. So... Tons up? Hey, no wait, times not up. It's time for the extra firm tofu people to get to work. Unfamous people start working on that very bland and firm ingredients that I've never heard of before. It's called to few.

And Byron just keeps saying, I haven't done this for eight years. I haven't worked with this for eight years. The Jamie's like, the judge is staring at me is nerve-wracking because I was shy one time. But now I'll kill somebody. So then Maria showed a five minutes lap, five minutes, 30 seconds, five seconds, it's over your negative time, your oldest qualifier. Just kidding.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Maria, please stop crying and bring your food to us. Thank you. Maria's like, OK, here you go. I'm Pat McCos, I'm very excited. Kristen, what do you think about this? I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm always just like a little bit more

of whatever Kristen's feeling. Chris, what do you think about this weather? I think it's really nice weather. It's really nice. It's a niceness, actually. I love it. I love it. I love it.

This is the actual, the weather's never ever been nicer in my entire life. Try again, Kristen. Well, I guess you just don't quite appreciate the weather as much as I do, but that's fine You do you Weather and appreciator Okay, so they serve and Maria's like, you know when you say tofu you don't think of Mexican

So I did Mexican soy brace tamale and Tom's like, whoa, you've never served this before? She's like, no, and I took it apart because I didn't want to give you too much. And he's like, oh, okay. I was like, ooh, they made it look like Thomas about to call her out. Like, wait a minute, you broke up this tamale.

You know, I don't know, I get that. I mean, sort of like when you have a son who's an exologist and you, you feel like you've given him just so many things and you think to yourself, maybe I shouldn't have given him so much, you know, so I think you did the right thing. I should have taken him apart and not given him too much is basically how I should have handled that. No, that's probably what I should have done. I should have done what you did, which is realize that there's no hope.

So just like change this dish up at the last second and just get him a job somewhere like McDonald's. So, so, so, so I did a soy braise and yaku shira, I think I'm out of breath. So I'm that one. So I'm that one. And Shira, I or something like that and two of you crumbles and Kwame is like.

Thank you. Did you put any acid in this dish? It's like, yes, you put in three tabs, enjoy. Yeah, Kwame is obsessed with acid today. Kwame is just like, I want acid today, okay? Something bright and acidic. That would be great, thanks. But yeah, they put a little vinegar

and pat and pat and it's like, all right everybody, vote, let's hold it up patto's. It's a tie Kristen, what do you think about that I you know, I think it's it's close. It's pretty close. It's a it's actually so close I've never seen anything like it before. This is maybe perhaps the most exciting thing I've ever seen Sorry, Kristen. You don't appreciate it as much. So Greg argues that Maria applied different ways and hers was more creative. And Tom's like, yeah, but the masa was much.

It was much. You remember out there how I didn't let you know what my feelings were? Those are my feelings now. Tricked everybody. Well, can't wait to retire in Australia again. Well, while Shoda used tofu in six different ways, it all tasted the same. It's like going to Gale's wardrobe.

You're like, dot, dot, dot, poofy shoulder. I mean, there's never a ride in here. You know, but Shoda was more tofu forward. Yeah, that's what they say to Gael whenever she's in the lineup We've come to a decision the winner of the medium tofu round is I forgot your name, but you're a very adorable, non-famous and a male, I believe. Shoulder? Yes, non-famous person. Congratulations. Ghosted on the non-famous person school. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Just a little bit, little tear, little whoopsie whoopsie tear. Maria, what do tears remind you of? Um, mole?

Correct, but you still lose, go sit down please. Don and Gabe your times up. Yeah, that came out of nowhere. There were all of a sudden like Don and Gabe were cooking and then I have no words, this pamper just goes, time up. I'm like, whoa, Padma. Whoa. So Gabe made marinated and braised tofu with braised I'm like, whoa, Padma. Whoa.

So gave made marinated and braised tofu with braised cabbage and soybeans. And then dawn made West Indian style braised tofu with charred veg. Yeah. So what did they say about it? Gales like, well, you know, I think that Bay, who's Bay? I wrote Bay, A-a-e. One is, right, they had more complexity. Yeah, Gabe.

Well, what happened is actually before they're talking about that, they raised their paddles, and it's another tie. Okay, let's go discuss. So they go, they break into, whenever they're discussing, we didn't mention this, but when they go to discuss these things in a tie, they split into groups like Team, Team Gabe, versus Team team Don and when they did it this time before they start discussing

One team is like Padma, Tom, Gale and Richard like oh, I wonder whose team is gonna win this one. Yeah, the judges were going against the kids. Yeah, that's a work. Yeah, another fact too. So then they start talking about it and Gale's like, yeah, well, I like the one that was bright and with more complexity. The tofu was much more pleasurable. Only Gale, am I right? And Dail goes, well, he didn't braise it. He just dropped it in a sauce and he brought it back up. I mean, he marinated it, it's worthless. And Pad was like, well, if I had to order a dish again, I actually would order dawns, but it was a tofu challenge.

And also the four of us are more famous than the four of you guys. So I think we know how this is gonna pan out, am I right? And Krony's like, well, I said earlier that if I could do this, I would be doing a brand stew, most likely bright and acidic. And Pad was like, okay, I said earlier that if I could do this, I would be doing a brand stew, most likely bright and acidic. And Pat was like, okay, but again, it was really close, but, you know, Gale, at some point we just had to say,

Gale, who makes you more wet? Who do you stick up more for than anybody on this show? Gale, you win. I think Gale's a love with Gale. It's like, whoa. I really, I know, I can't believe I said that either. But I think that he is in love with Gabe, because every time it comes to Gabe, she's like, Gabe, really gave me what I needed. Whoa, whoa, whoa, calm down there.

Calm stuff. All right, this one needs to be charred and smoked and sent out. Okay. So, um, I don't know if we're that even come from. I don't know but it was sorry gale I'm sorry gale that I made you so I sexualized you like that sorry bad that we made you so vulgar well bad I think it was probably vulgar but still gale I'm so sorry I would do that to you as Padma it It's okay. So Padma goes, well done. You lost that means we get to eat your food again. Kristen, you want to join in? I guess I just find that a little bit funnier. So next is the extra hard tofu and Ed goes, I'm not really a fan of extra hard tofu

in fact because, no, you have to see it hard. Has Edward, does he like tofu at all? He's like, medium has no personality. Firm, I hate firm. He does like, he's like, love that he's part of the tofu channel because you can get screwed like that on top chef. You know, we know when we go,

when we've gone there before, it's like, we got the dessert challenge. The dessert show we went to, and we got the savory, the fucking savory challenge where they were trying to feed us chickpeas as a dessert. We had falafel panicata, enough said. It was like the Beastie Boys challenge. There was like a Beastie Boy there, but then it was awful. Yeah, so I think that's how Ed feels right now.

Because he's like on the ball of time. Yeah, it's like I've had to like fucking quarantine for two weeks to do this. I come here and now you're giving me like 19 plates of tofu, thanks guys. Yeah. So Byron's cooking and he's made tofu three ways, but Jamie's is like really cute and vibrant and she's like mine looks like a baby

I'm a fighter now. They give my little baby So just with everyone wants to eat a baby. Thanks Jamie So they serve it and Byron is made pan-seared extra firm tofu served over salad with dacon and radish and Jamie's made her a firm tofu served over salad with dicon and radish and Jamie's made her banh shio. I think I said that right with saute tofu and herbs and she also used soy milk in her crepe. So Dale is like, he's like, you know what? He's talking about Jamie's. He goes, I could eat 12 of these.

No kidding. You want another bowl so you can slurp it down your chin again. There is a marae anyway. Where did a margo? Does anyone know where a maras? Could someone, could someone check under the death? Did he pass out with a bone in his mouth? I wish a mar could be here. Unfortunately, he'd licked one plate too many and broke one on his teeth and accidentally swallowed glass. So he'll be back once his stomach

heals up. Unfortunately, Kerry couldn't join us for this either. She heard there was a pothole on main street and decided to cook a cake in it. All of these dishes have been magnificent. We should cook tofu more with you guys. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Who you voted for oh? Nine for Jamie and one for Byron. Sorry Byron. It was a blowout. You're the only one who was blown out. How's that make you feel? Well if it makes you feel this if it makes you feel any better There was only one judge who was stupid enough and tasteless enough to vote for you by end I told you we should have gotten Ed Harrison here have gotten ad Harris in here. Oh, well, I mean, you can't blame him. He was an all-star football player. What?

That's not Eddie George. By the way, I know everybody is wondering, my pizza, according to the Domino's tracker, is on bake. Okay. My order is in the outside. The timer is on. Okay. is on bake, okay? My order is in the end. The timer is okay. Shaff, you have 15 minutes to end this recap, okay?

Okay. Okay, so now Maria, darling Byron, have to go through the fried tofu round against each other. I had to head. Maria says that she fried her tofu yesterday and then let it marinate, which seems a little strange to me. And she goes, she goes, listen, I'm here to cook and show them that Mexican food is delicious.

I'm like, uh, yeah, I hate to break it to you. I think the word is out. Remember how you do it. We do a challenge from Chipotle. The national brand. You know, she's like, one day after I went to up chef, you'll see Mexican food everywhere. Regular people walking down the street eating a burrito.

Like, uh, the taco will be a household. People will know. Tacos will get its own day in America. There may even be restaurants, tons and tons of restaurants. That will be exclusively focused on tacos. They'll call them Taco Bell. She's so funny that someone goes, Hey, Maria, what are you making? And she goes tacos. I'm just kidding.

Mole. So Don is making a play on that on Nashville hot chicken, but she could do a tofu, which seems super awesome. And then she's like, Oh, I need more radishes on this dish. And she takes one of those Japanese mandalins and she slices her finger, which is exactly why when I opened, I got an a mandolin in October. I didn't open up until April. I used it once and it terrified me so much and it terrified all my Instagram

followers because they all were like, please get rid of that. Be careful. Be careful. I lost my voice. Have pictures of their fingers. And I was rid of that. Be careful, be careful. I lost my headphones, have pictures of their fingers. And I was like, I'm never touching this thing again. I am just gonna have,

I know it's in slices seem great, but I want my fingers. So, there are some terrible, terrible, terrifying mandalins. I got one that is just humongous. It looks like a huge machine and it has all these blades you can switch in and out of it. And they're like V-shaped and you know what?

That's what I have. Great it. Oh, I mean the thing is so scary. I used a little handheld one like one of the mini ones and that's so much better. I'll kill you. Yeah, I need for those. I used the big one with the V and had great reviews on Amazon and I couldn't cut through an onion and I was like, what the fuck? I'm like, I'm not going to risk my finger because I couldn't not cut to an onion. The little guard that I came with couldn't even through an onion and I was like, what the fuck? I'm like, I'm not gonna risk my finger because I couldn't, not only could it not cut through an onion, the little guard that it came with,

couldn't even stab the onion. So I just said, I don't need this. So I have a trouble. I think. I think. Mandolin, right? As Bruce Hornsby saying, listen to the mandolin rhyme.

Okay, so I know her. Yeah. So Byron still upsets upset, but he's just brushing it off Basically that she not only did she cut herself, but she then bleeds into her pickles and oh yeah, it's behind with She gets behind the plating and so then they're all helping her and Pam is like oh look look It's nice to happen. You know poor people have to do that, you know. Look out for each other in these communities. I'm so glad we have healthcare now, look at that. Oh, those poor people just getting help from other poor people. This is touching.

It's like saving private Ryan, I think. Probably, I don't know. Didn't see it. So many and famous people in that one film. I remember when I cut my finger and my dear friend, I'm hallowed America sent me a bandit all the way from Germany. Maria, what did you make for me? Maria's like, oh, I made a fright tofu steak,

marinated in mole, and Kwame goes, wow, very new, really good. And Padma, dawn, what did you make for me? And Don made her Nashville hot tofu with pickles, but the thing is, and a soy buttermilk ranch, but because of everything that happened, she missed a plate. So, and Padma goes, wait, before we go any further, I just want to commend your teammates or your competitors.

That was beautiful to see. That was absolutely beautiful. I just wish someone would be as helpful with Gail when she decides to go shopping for tops. Oh, so they really love Ed, especially loves Don's fried chicken knockoff thing and Byron did a fried tofu with Asian marinade shrimp and fried puree and skins and he was like have you ever Fried tofu skin before and he's like, yes, she's like Gal have you ever loved to play it empty how about that?

Talk about tofu skin right Gail? So judges and Don didn't get her tent played in so unfortunately She's an eligible to win so she'll definitely be cooking again. Go over there bloody finger. Please move As they said to you at the Olympics better luck next time. Okay, Ed Oh, and then Ed's like oh wait. Sorry. Oh your brother just ran past Well done brother who didn't cut himself. Oh, I think his metal just hit me in the forehead God go this heavy I Wonder if I actually don't know.

Actually, do we know if Don Medell did not at the Olympics or her brother? I guess not. I don't know. I think they would have said it. I think they would have been like, oh my God, she got a gold medal or whatever. I don't know. Shit, you made it. Who cares?

You did it, girl. Yeah. So Ed goes, can I just put up my blue paddle in protest to her not being eligible? And Pamela goes, no! And she literally says it like that. She literally gets like really annoyed. No! Stop it!

Okay, this is your first day here. Stop just obeying the rules unfamous James Beard loser. Nine votes Maria, one vote byron. Oh, for Byron. For Byron. No, vote byron. Wow. No out for Bryron. Yeah, Byron just is getting his ass kicked in this. So then it's Don versus Byron for the dessert tofu. Now, this one they're fucked because one of them Byron made a plan for this, but Don did

not make a plan for this because, you this because they had so much to do. She was hoping she'd win one of the first two challenges. Let's see if it kicks from the ass. Yeah, because she's like, this is my last chance. I don't know what I'm going to be successful in it. She's crying in every interview segment. I'm like, hello, spoiler. She's clearly been eliminated.

Oh, Don. Byron did a custard. He made a custard already, so he's seeing if it's set. And Tom's like, well, look at that. Soft tofu. I love soft tofu. And it's like, yes, it's got such delicacy. It really does.

It melts in your mouth. I love that you don't have to hard-sear it. Right? And would you like to raise your paddle now? Now a big good time to do that. Oh, let me guess. I love that you don't have to hard see it right Ed would you like to raise your paddle now now a big a time to do that. Oh, let me guess you hate this kind of tofu too sorry Hey, Ed loved your performance in Westworld just kidding. That was famous Ed continue on Love to you in the hangover. Oh wait. That was Ed Helms so I loved you in the hangover. Oh wait, that was Ed Helms. So... Um...

So, um... Anyway, so Richard is like, I thought Don's dish was a textural wonderland. Shut up Richard. Shut up. A textural wonderland. Your tofu was a wonderland. And Dale says, overall, I think I'd go back to Byron's dessert. Oh, yeah, what else is new? You going back to dessert?

We still remember how you were at restaurant wars. Bold number 45 for Dale. He just loves that ice cream. And they made a comment while they were cooking that Donna's going really slow. They were like, she hasn't no urgency. Look at Piberyn working so quickly and Gale's like, yeah, because he had a plan and he knows exactly what he's gonna do. Like Gale is so anal. She just loves a plan or when someone sticks exactly to the recipe. So I was really worried for Donna again because I was like, oh my God, they're setting it up. Here we go.

Yeah, loves a plan. It's like when she finds out there's 50% off scorts. Oh my goodness, she is there with this spreadsheet. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, guys thank you this is not so much to me and even if I go home it's been an honor to work with all of you guys and thank you so much for helping me when I was injured and then by was like oh yeah me too you guys made me find my identity nice try of their biarney still got blown out two rounds in a row so good luck so so then I guess sorry I guess I jumped forward to the judging I didn't realize. No it's okay I thought you were I thought you were doing it for my pizza which is sweet. I got I would like to dedicate this final segment to Erica with the K who began

quality checking my order about five minutes ago. Thank you Erica and for all that you're doing for me personally. I wish someone would quality check Gale's styling once in a while. Am I right, everyone? Hey, I'm still an Erica for Gale. Gale, Domino's is here. The rate of quality check you. Can we get a Gale and those tracker over here? I would look Gale still on a couch.

All right, the tracker's in. 15 minutes until Gale eats up all our leftovers. So let's hurry up. I mean, Tom just starts to lose it with his monolikes at the end towards the end of the season. He's like, well, Chefs, this challenge tested your knowledge and it tested your skills, which really put you to the test about skills and knowledge, and this dessert

challenge will be a better sweet ending for one of you with skills and challenge knowledge of testing. Just cut me off already. Just some, please take the mic. Some of these challenges, they test your knowledge and your experience. Two things that my son doesn't have, but they also test your endurance. Another thing. So basically, over three for my son. Good thing he's not on the show.

Good thing he'll never be on the show because he's only a mixologist. Padma? Padma? Byron, please pack your stupid knives and stupidly go stupid. Ah, but don't worry. I'll see you at last chance, kitchen. Where you can also get blown out again, 9-1. That was good, Tom. I like afraid. Oh, but don't worry, I'll see you at last chance, kitchen. Well, you can also get blown out again. Nine to one. That was good, Tom.

I like that. Tonight, on last chance, kitchen, we'll Byron, click it up with it, or would he be chicken and be afraid to fight Jamie, who doesn't even have anything to do with this segment, but I wanted to say something about chickens. Well, Byron have an extra firm, rather resolution to win his way back, or will he go soft and silky, or maybe he'll just be medium and have no personality. What do you think, Kristen? Um, I think he's, uh, can I do a good job? How do a great job? He does get such a great job. I guess I have a little bit more faith in him. How do a great job? He does get a such a great job.

Guess I have a little bit more faith in him. So this clip they showed of last chance kitchen, they showed the red-headed girl who'd left. I know for a long time ago. What's that about? Well, remember I said that I tuned into last chance kitchen a few weeks ago to make sure that Gabriel went home. So they had this episode midway through the season

where it was like, cook whatever you want because this is your chance to, it wasn't to get back on the show, but it was to keep going in last chance kitchen. So she won, because she made, the whole episode was her saying, I'm not gonna be on top chef and not cook pasta. I'm not gonna do this,

because you know what, I have to be on top chef. If I'm gonna be on top chef, I'm gonna cook pasta and then Tom tasted it and he goes, oh, this is really good. Well yeah, I had to cook pasta for you Tom. I'm not gonna be on top chef. If I'm gonna be on top chef, I'm gonna cook pasta and then Tom tasted it and he goes, oh, this is really good. Well, yeah, I had to cook pasta for you, Tom. I'm not gonna be on top chef and not cook pasta. I'm like, we get it, we get it. So brave, you and your pasta.

Yeah. So she ended up winning and then now she gets to compete to come back. It's like a mid-season win. I don't know how they do it with the, I don't understand how it worked because I definitely watched it since then because it looks like, I don't understand how it worked because I didn't have to wash it since then because it looks like we still have Sarah, Chris,

Ava Shar, and Sasha, was there anyone else that got eliminated? I was like, who, haven't people been getting eliminated all these times? Who got eliminated with restaurant wars? Do we remember? Did Chris go? Oh, Sarah, it was Sarah. It was Sarah.

Oh, no, Chris was there last week. Yoga girl. Would you share? Yoga girl. Is she Sarah? Oh, yoga girl. Yeah. Did she go home a restaurant?

Where is she? Yeah, she did. She did. And then, yeah, I'm in last week with what is she? Oh, yeah, she did go home. She had a bad restaurant. Where is. Yeah. So I don't understand.

I don't understand how like they're all competing. Unless there just hasn't been an episode of last chance. Kitchen. I don't understand how like they're all competing unless it just hasn't been an episode of last chance kitchen. I don't know Kitchen talking like Tom now. Oh What are you guys gonna get back into the game and the others are gonna be like my son and we'll just go off into obscurity and Your potential will go unrealists Well, maybe now spend the rest of my day watching the two-part season finale of Last Chance Kitchen. Hm. Well, Padma, I think that'd be a really cool thing. I actually love Last Chance Kitchen.

I think it's a really good show. And, you know, I mean, I know I'm just, you know, a returning winner coming back. And I know I'm just offering my humble opinion here, but I really like the show. I'm sorry, Eddie Haskell. You're the neighbor that nobody even liked. Please get out of my face, no longer famous person.

Oh, I was actually, my name's actually Kristen. I don't think you realize that. Oh. It still works. I loved last chance kitchen so much more than Kristen. I mean, I mean, no, I just think it's like really entertaining And now it's like the most entertaining Oscars Emmys it's an egot last chance kitchen should get an egot there. I said it It's it's I mean for me. I think I actually like it more than regular top chef

I like it more than the red shoe die like it's the best thing I've ever said I like it more than the red shoe diary. Like it's the best thing I've ever seen. I like it more than I like metal strip. Kristen. Red shoe. My brain is fucking fried. Okay. I don't know what I've been saying anymore. Where does that even come from? Yeah, Renshu Dairi sucks. I hate it. I don't know. No, it also hates Joverse the volcano. Stupid movie. Although I do have to give props to Meg Ryan for how famous she is.

Whoa, well done. Well done indeed. Where's your pizza? Still quality check, Erica. Get off your ass. I just gave you a thank you, Erica. Okay, you need 11 minutes to quality check a fucking cheese pizza. Get it over here, Erica. Well, you never know if Byron made it. Am I right? Nine to one. Bad pizza. We all voted and only one person thought you made a good pizza Byron. And that person is Gale. But then again, does she ever think anything is bad?
