Hell's Kitchen

Previously on "Hell's Kitchen"...

Despite being on opposing teams,

Heather and Andrew grew closer.

All we're doing is laying next to each other.

Or at least one of them did.

I get married in a couple months,

so it's probably not gonna be a strong relationship.

At the challenge, Chef Ramsay tested the chefs' creativity...

We, as chefs, are artists.

With Southern cuisine.

- Devin, what do you think? Go spicy? - Yeah.

This challenge is designed for our Southern boy.

And Chef Ramsay flew in from Birmingham, Alabama, Chef Chris Hastings.

- Thank you for having me. - Welcome.

Johnny's spicy hanger steak over a bed of garlic hash

failed to stand out.

A little nondescript. Doesn't have any zing.

Well, that's Johnny. He's not the best.

As for the Red Team, Shaina's hanger steak...

Clearly Shaina gets one.

And Wendy's spicy fried catfish...

Beautifully cooked. Crispy.

Helped propel the Red Team to victory,

and Wendy's dish earned a spot

on Hell's Kitchen's dinner menu.

There are not words for the joy in my heart.

Thank you, Chef.

At dinner service...

- Chef's table, two risotto. - Yes, Chef.

With celebrities at the chef's tables, Johnny's scrumptious risotto

scored with NBA sharpshooter J.J. Redick.

I could eat another bowl of this.

Perfect. Knew it.

Despite a shaky start

cooking Wendy's challenge-winning dish...

The fish are soggy as .

Andrew made a formidable comeback.

Just touch that! Beautiful.

And the men finished service on a positive note.

The catfish is amazing.

In the red kitchen...

Where's the catfish?

Wendy had issues cooking her own dish.

Stop, stop, stop.

That's completely my bad.

And after Kimberly moved Shaina's Wellingtons mid-cook...

I need to put your Wellingtons in here for now.

I'm dropping temp on the oven. .

Chef Ramsay had seen enough.

That's raw.

Kim turned the oven down. That wasn't my fault.

- Get out! - Oh, my gosh.

Shaina and Kimberly took their beef into the dorm.

You tried to throw me under the bus...

- Listen to me. - And it's not fair.

I didn't throw you under the bus!

- The women nominated... - Wendy.

- Along with... - Shaina.

Faced with a difficult decision,

Chef Ramsay surprised everyone

with a plan that shook up both teams...

Both of you, you're going in the Blue Team.

Matt, Andrew, you two are joining the Red Team.

As he kept everyone's dream of becoming head chef

at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar

at The Venetian in Las Vegas alive.

And now, the continuation of Hell's Kitchen.

- Now off. - Yes, Chef.

I'm kind of shocked because I feel like

I just gained the respect of all of my guys, you know?

, man.

But I'm Red Team now, so there's nothing I can do about it.

Take that off. You're blue now.

It was a shock, but I'm good.

I don't want to be on a team with these girls.

I'm just being honest.

Now I got to just pull myself together and figure out

how do I get to be that one winner at the end.

- Shaina, I love you. - I love all of y'all.

Sorry, girl.

Don't lie to us. You cried last night.

I'm so excited.

I'm so excited to be on Blue Team now.

I work far better with men than women.

I'm rid of the mean girls club.

I look better in blue anyway.

Now that personnel changes have been made...

- Oh, there's some music playing. - Go, go, go.

The newly reorganized teams

will have to work to find their rhythm.

Oh, .

Line up.

What is going on?

I'm a big fan of dancing, and I'm pretty good on my feet,

so I'm hoping it's a dance challenge.

Get it, girl.

That one chick with the long black pants...

Right up my alley.

He's sexy.

Take him home.

Oh, I'm so white. I don't dance.

Amazing.

Wasn't that incredible?

Absolutely brilliant. Well done.

Although they were very entertaining,

I did not bring these amazing dancers here to entertain you.

Let's get that right.

They were actually rehearsing for tomorrow night's big event.

For the first time ever in Hell's Kitchen,

we will be hosting the International Ballroom Invitational.

- Wow. - Awesome.

Now we will be preparing a unique,

very special menu to go along with this incredible event.

Right now, I'd like to introduce you to two very special individuals.

He's a former United States and world ballroom champion

and is a choreographer on "So You Think You Can Dance."

Okay.

Please welcome Jonathan Roberts.

- Jonathan, welcome. - Good to see you.

- Welcome. - Great to be here.

Now Jonathan will be joined by somebody else.

She is well known for her role as Bebe in the film

"A Chorus Line."

She's also been a choreographer

for superstars like Michael Jackson and Madonna.

- Wow. - Please welcome Michelle Johnston.

Michelle, welcome. Nice to see you, my darling.

Welcome, welcome.

Good to see you.

Great to see you.

Now listen carefully.

Jonathan and Michelle are not only gonna be judging

the unique dance competition.

They'll also be judging your dishes

in today's challenge.

Before we get started on the challenge,

let's find out what they're looking for in the menu

tomorrow night. Michelle?

I think, since the dancers tomorrow

are representing international styles,

I think it'd be great to stay in that theme.

- Jonathan? - When I travel all over the world,

I'll eat whatever dish is in that country,

no matter how strange it is,

so please excite us.

Jonathan, thank you, Michelle.

We'll get to work immediately,

and look forward to seeing you for the tasting.

All right. Thank you both. Excellent.

Now, for your next challenge,

each team needs to create two chicken, two fish,

and two beef entrées full of spice, packed with flavor.

- Clear? - Yes, Chef.

Take a minute, all of you, and decide who's cooking what.

- Let's go. - I'll do chicken.

- I'll take beef. - All right.

- I'll do chicken with you. - Chicken, okay.

We have two new teammates, so I'm not sure what proteins

they're gonna be comfortable cooking, but I want beef.

I haven't worked with beef yet, so filet's mine.

- I'll do fish. - Are you sure?

All right.

Beef, beef, chicken, chicken, fish, fish.

Have we worked it out?

- Yes, Chef. - Good.

You've all got 40 minutes,

and your time starts now.

Let's go.

In today's event menu challenge,

both teams must prepare two beef, two chicken,

and two fish dishes.

Ah, man. This is gonna be hard.

Chef Ramsay and the guest judges

will be looking for creativity, presentation,

and above all, flavor.

I'm doing a roasted carrot cumin sauce,

and I'm gonna do a charred corn and warm crab salad on top.

I'm gonna do the sea bass.

I'm actually gonna cook it en papillote.

I think I'm gonna do a tropical fried diavolo, what do you think?

I think me and Andrew work well together.

It's great that I got someone with me now

that I'm on the red side

'cause too much estrogen in one kitchen is not good.

Does it sound good to you, bro, or...

I think it sounds off, but that's your style though,

- so your style's different than mine. - Yeah.

30 minutes to go, Red Team.

Yes, Chef.

Guys, I'd get your steaks on now, yeah?

Yes, Chef.

Chef, get our steaks started right now?

I would just give it enough time to rest.

I work in a steakhouse.

I know how to cook proteins. I'll be fine.

I don't want to tell you again.

- Blue Team, ten minutes to go. - Yes, Chef.

Six stunning entrées.

- Chef, mayonnaise? - You have to look.

- I don't know. - Okay.
