The chefs wake up bright and early for today’s challenge.
Chef Ramsay: Good morning everyone!
Everyone: Good morning chef!
Chef Ramsay: Today, I want to see how you all fare individually. So, you all will be making you’re own dishes!
Everyone looks excited from the news.
Chef Ramsay: Of course, it’s not that simple. All of your dishes will be...
...
...
...
...
...
Vegetable inspired classics! You’ll all be using vegetables to create your own spin on a classic dish! You’ll take turns choosing someone to battle against, and then I’ll spin this wheel to see what you’ll be making.
He then reveals a giant wheel filled with classic foods.
Chef Ramsay then asks some of his chefs to choose a challenger, and spins the wheel for each of them.
Here’s what everyone ends up cooking.
Taco-Lincoln vs. Nevra
Calzone-Maurice vs. Nick
Enchilada-Jay vs. Candy
Burger-Kourtney vs. Ben
Spaghetti-Pierre vs. Ocean
Lasagna-Sugar May vs. Matt
Pizza-Jake vs. Europe
The chefs then cook their vegetable inspired classics. They must use at least 3 vegetables in their dish in order for it to be acceptable.
After some time, the chefs are all ready for their dishes to be judged. Chef Ramsay will be judging the dishes individually, and will give one point to the winner of each battle.
Up first is the Battle of the Taco. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Lincoln’s: It’s stunning. It’s delicious. It’s the perfect embodiment of a veggie taco.
Nevra’s: The meat is slightly undercooked... and the vegetables are slightly over cooked.
Chef Ramsay: The point will go to the Blue Team, well done.
Blue Team: 1
Red Team: 0
Up next is the Battle of the Calzone. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Maurice’s: There’s nothing but vegetables in there. I said you had to use vegetables, but I didn’t say you couldn’t use other ingredients... it’s underwhelming. Especially from you, Maurice.
Nick’s: It’s delicious. The vegetables work well together, and the whole thing is cooked beautifully.
Chef Ramsay: The point once again goes to the Blue Team. Great job.
Blue Team: 2
Red Team: 0
Up next is the Battle of the Enchilada. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Jay’s: It looks a little unappetizing... but when you actually taste it, it’s full of flavor. Such a shame that it looks a mess, though.
Candy’s: It’s undercooked, slightly. And it’s under-seasoned. Total disappointment.
Chef Ramsay: The point for this one will go to the Blue Team.
Blue Team: 3
Red Team: 0
Up next is the Battle of the Burger. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Kourtney’s: Young lady, this is delicious. The vegetables are used very well, and it’s cooked beautifully. Well done.
Ben’s: It’s a little dry. And I think it could use a little more seasoning. Other than that, it’s a respectable dish.
Chef Ramsay: The point for this match will go to the Red Team.
Blue Team: 3
Red Team: 1
Up next is the Battle of the Spaghetti. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Pierre’s: The vegetables are inserted in the dish perfectly. The whole thing is delicious. Outstanding job, this was close to perfection.
Ocean’s: What the fuck is this? It looks like something you’d feed to a fucking dog! It’s hideous...
Chef Ramsay: The point goes to the Blue Team, hands down.
Blue Team: 4
Red Team: 1
The Blue Team has already won, but Chef Ramsay still wants to taste the remaining dishes.
Up next is the Battle of the Lasagna. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Sugar May’s: It’s disgusting. Way too much seasoning, way too many ingredients in there... and look at that. It’s raw.
Matt’s: It’s surprisingly delicious. It looks a little weird... but this may have been the best tasting dish so far.
Chef Ramsay: The point will go to the Blue Team. They’ve already won, but now they’re just proving to be dominating.
Blue Team: 5
Red Team: 1
The last battle is the Battle of the Pizza. Here are Chef Ramsay’s comments.
Jake’s: It looks unappetizing... and it’s overcooked. The vegetables don’t work together either...
Europe’s: This is truly what a veggie pizza should be. Delicious. Such a shame it can’t help the red team win...
Chef Ramsay: The point will go to the Red Team, but the Blue Team has still won.
Blue Team: 5
Red Team: 2
The Blue Team has won!
Chef Ramsay: Blue Team, well done! I have got an amazing reward for you today. I’m taking you all to a specific are in California to attend a special county fair! There will be plenty of things to do... you can play games, eat special meals... and did I mention there’s a carnival as well? Oh well, you’ll see it for yourself! Get changed, you gotta get going immediately!
The men then head upstairs to prepare for their day of fun.
Chef Ramsay: Ladies... and Maurice... 2 good dishes out of 7. Such a disappointment. Hell’s Kitchen is about out of butter... so you’ll need to make more. You heard me right, you’ll be MAKING butter. Of course, I’m talking about churning it. That’s what you’ll be doing all day. Go up to the dorms, because you have a long day ahead of you.
The men enjoy their day at the county fair while the women and Maurice spend the day churning butter.
-A Special Announcement-
Chef Ramsay calls the chefs down to make an important announcement.
Chef Ramsay: I called you all down to tell you that tonight, Hell’s Kitchen will be CLOSED. There will be no dinner service tonight.
The chefs all look surprised.
Chef Ramsay: HOWEVER... in the morning, you will all be waking up to cook for a special BREAKFAST service that we will be hosting in the morning. For tomorrow morning only, I’ve arranged for Hell’s Kitchen to be open for a breakfast service to the public.
The chefs look like they’re enjoying this news.
Chef Ramsay: Now, like any new day in Hell’s Kitchen, this will be your next challenge. The first team to complete all of their tickets will win, and will be treated to a special reward. The losing team however...
...
...
...
...
...
will be losing a member. The team that loses this challenge will nominate 2 chefs for elimination, and I will send one of them home. So get ready, tomorrow morning is going to be very important.
The chefs then retire in their dorms for the rest of the night.
-Breakfast Service-
The chefs have woken up brightband early to begin their first and only breakfast service in Hell’s Kitchen. Here are everyone’s stations.
Pancake Station: Ben and Nick
Egg Station: Matt and Jay
Sausage Station: Lincoln and Pierre
Garnish Station: Jake
Pancake Station: Candy and Europe
Egg Station: Ocean and Nevra
Sausage Station: Sugar May and Kourtney
Garnish Station: Maurice
The service begins smoothly... but problems begin to arise in the Blue Kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: Hey! Look at these pancakes! They’re undercooked! They’re practically still batter! Who cooked them!
Ben: I did, chef.
Nick: So did I, chef.
Chef Ramsay: You both cooked these? Oh fucking hell...
Chef Ramsay then turns to the Red Kitchen and sees some overcooked eggs.
Chef Ramsay: Ocean! Nevra! These are fucking burnt! Look at them! Who cooked it?
Nevra: I did, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Get it together! Come on guys, it’s fucking breakfast! We should all be able to make these!
But several mistakes continue throughout the night. Ben sends in another raw stack of pancakes, and Ocean and Nevra screw their eggs up again. In the Blue Kitchen, eggs are being undercooked too, and Matt and Jay are both equally to blame and are attempting to recook them.
Jake: How long on the eggs?
Matt: ...
Chef Ramsay: EARTH TO MATT! You’re teammate is talking to you!!!
Matt: Oh shit! Uh... 8 minutes, chef!
Chef Ramsay: My god...
Eventually, both kitchens have only 1 ticket left, and they’re both neck and neck.
Chef Ramsay: This sausage needs more seasoning! Come on Sugar May!
Sugar May: Yes, right away chef!
As Sugar May reseason’s her sausage, the Blue Kitchen is sending their last order, a pancake, to the pass. If it gets served, the Blue Team wins.
Chef Ramsay checks the pancake.
...
...
...
...
...
Chef Ramsay: This pancake is raw! Who cooked it?
Nick: I did, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Come on, recook it!
Sugar May has now seasoned her sausage. Chef Ramsay inspects it...
...
...
...
...
...
Chef Ramsay: Serve this please! Red Team, well done! You’ve just won!
The Red Kitchen is now overjoyed. Chef Ramsay walks to the Blue Kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: Blue Team! The Red Team just won. You had it in your hands! Such a shame... I need 2 nominees that you want up for elimination.
After Breakfast Service is over, the Blue Team discuss who they want to nominate.
The three names that come up are Nick, Matt and Ben. When Matt is considered as a nominee, he gets aggressive and yells at his teammates. Nick mainly just accepts that he screwed up tonight, and Ben tries to fight the possibility of himself going up as well.
Ultimately, the Blue Team is having trouble making a decision...
-Elimination Ceremony-
The Blue Team meets with Chef Ramsay as the Red Team watches.
Chef Ramsay: Red Team, well done.
Red Team: Thank you chef.
Chef Ramsay: Jay. Has the Blue Team reached a decision?
Jay: No chef, we haven’t.
Chef Ramsay looks confused.
Chef Ramsay: What? Why not?
Jay: We’re stuck between three people, chef. Nick, Matt and Ben.
Chef Ramsay: Fucking hell... listen. When I ask you to nominate 2 chefs... I EXPECT you to come to a consensus. No more of this bullshit, is that clear?
Blue Team: Yes, chef.
Chef Ramsay: Alright... why not? Nick, Matt and Ben... all three of you step forward.
Nick, Matt and Ben face Chef Ramsay. They all state why they should stay in Hell’s Kitchen. Chef Ramsay says Nick is on a downward spiral, but Nick says he can recover. Chef Ramsay says Matt isn’t a team player, but Matt says he would work better on the Red Team. Chef Ramsay says Ben hasn’t been consistent at all throughout the whole competition, but Ben says he can improve over time.
Chef Ramsay: Okay... my decision is...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Nick.
...
...
...
...
...
Wake up, BACK IN LINE.
Nick rejoins the Blue Team, leaving Matt and Ben.
Chef Ramsay: The person leaving Hell’s Kitchen is...
...
...
...
...
...
Ben. Take off your jacket, young man.
Ben then takes his jacket off and hands it to Chef Ramsay.
Chef Ramsay: You may think you’re ready to be a head chef, but from what I’ve seen in your dinner services, you still have a lot to learn. After all, you’re still a culinary student! Young man, I’m not looking for a student. I’m looking for a teacher. Goodnight.
Ben then leaves Hell’s Kitchen.
Chef Ramsay: Red Team, you’re reward will come later today. Blue Team, you’re punishment will also come later. And tonight, we WILL be having another dinner service. Be prepared.
The chefs then go to their dorms to wait for their reward and punishment.
As Chef Ramsay walks upstairs, his voice can be heard narrating the scene.
“I was hoping that Ben would be able to pull it together for Hell’s Kitchen’s special breakfast service. But just like his pancakes, he flopped.”
Chef Ramsay then hangs Ben’s jacket, and his picture burns up.
