Hell's Kitchen

Previously on "Hell's Kitchen"...

Rise and shine.

Chef Ramsay challenged the teams' palates

like never before in the blind taste test.

You try to locate the flavor that's in baby food.

Wendy's confidence...

Blue Team, who's going first and last?

Wow, Wendy.

Paid off when she went four for four

right out of the gate.

That's a carrot, Chef.

Roasted onion.

Potato, Chef.

- Peaches, Chef. - Good job, four for four.

But then teammate Devin missed three items in a row.

Turnip, Chef.

Black beans, Chef.

- Come on. - Turnip, Chef.

Oh!

Sorry.

Andrew was able to to tie it up

for the Red Team in the final round...

- Fennel. - Oh, yes, thank God.

Forcing a sudden-death tiebreaker against Wendy.

For the Blue Team to win...

Turnip, Chef.

- Yes! - .

Yes!

Blue Team, well done.

At dinner service...

- Two scallop, two risotto. - Yes, Chef!

The Red Team got off to a fast start

thanks to Heather and Ryan.

- Delicious risotto. - Thank you, Chef.

We're a bunch of bad bitches over here.

And despite a brief jolt of attitude from Matt...

I called out two lamb.

I have one lamb is what I'm telling you.

- That means you forgot the order. - No, Chef, I did not.

The Red Team held it together...

Coming through, coming through, hot.

Go, go, go, go, go.

And completed service.

- Push it, guys, push it. - Service, please.

Oh, my gosh, that's good.

Over in the Blue Kitchen,

Koop had problems with the size of his portions...

There's half a fish missing.

How come you're the only one that doesn't know?

And his basic knowledge

- at the fish station... - Hey, Blue Team,

we don't cook sea bass and salmon in the same pan.

You're screwing you, your team, and me.

That, combined with Paulie's issues on meat...

That's not two minutes away.

Was more than Chef Ramsay could take...

Out, out, and out.

So the Blue Team's night came to an abrupt end.

Back to the dorms to nominate somebody

once again on the Blue Team.

At deliberation, Koop lost his cool.

! Why the can't we do this?

!

Koop, you up all day today.

You up all day!

The Blue Team nominated...

Paulie, Chef. And...

Koop, Chef.

In the end, it was...

Koop.

Who couldn't back up all the talk

and saw his dream of becoming head chef

at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar

at the Venetian in Las Vegas come to an end.

And now the continuation of "Hell's Kitchen."

- Blue Team, get out of here. - Yes, Chef.

Red Team, stay where you are.

Red Team, the Blue Team is now down two chefs.

You need to decide amongst yourselves,

who's got it in them to get them turned around.

I want your answer in the morning.

- Yes, Chef. - Good night.

- Good night, Chef. - Thank you, Chef.

There's no way

I want to go to the Blue Team.

I don't feel like supporting their team

and carrying them on my back.

No, my buddy.

I'm a leader, and I feel like maybe

I can show the guys how to cook.

I'm gonna volunteer myself,

because I know how to yell at Shaina.

I think it's between Heidi and Ryan.

- Yeah. - I don't want to go over there.

Here's my thing, if you get over there

and you actually, like, lead that team,

you're gonna look so good.

My biggest competition is Ryan.

I think her going to the Blue Team

could be my chance to shine.

Perfect to me.

That's up to you guys.

I think Ryan has more to gain.

And I think Ryan can do it.

All right, go ahead, Matt.

Do you want Ryan to go or Heidi?

- I think it's probably Heidi. - Good, okay, Kim, your vote.

I'll be the tiebreaker.

- Oh! - Hurry up!

Scallops. Where are they?

- Oh! - Come on, guys, please!

Get out!

Where's the bass?

Hey, hey, hey. Come here, you. Come here!

It's just mistake after mistake after mistake!

It's just raw! Raw!

Pathetic.

Blue Team, Red Team, line up, please.

- Good morning. - Morning, Chef.

Blue Team, you should know that last night

I asked them to come up with one volunteer

to leave their team and make the Blue Team stronger.

I'm either hoping for Heidi or Ryan.

They're both strong on challenges, but Ryan is hot.

That would be nice.

Red Team, who's it gonna be?

It's me, Chef.

Are you ready to join the Blue Team?

- I am, Chef. - Good.

I'm looking at this as a strong person

moving over to a weak team.

Like, it would be awesome

if I can get them through a dinner service.

That's gonna make me look even better.

- Welcome. - Thank, Devin.

It does feel good to have the hot girl

on the team finally.

Now, food, as you know, continues to evolve.

There's no better example of this evolution

than the humble burger.

Burgers can be so much more than just a flat patty

with a plain bun and no seasoning.

This Umami Burger was called the burger of the year

by "Us" magazine across America.

This burger from Father's Office,

Los Angeles, was named best burger by "Esquire" magazine.

This one is from my restaurant.

This is a Chanterelle Burger.

With such a variety of burger options out there,

entrepreneurial chefs found a way

to give burger lovers a variety of tastes on a single plate...

Sliders.

I'm not anti-slider.

They're just tiny, and I have a big mouth,

and I like it full.

With the meat... burgers.

That sounded bad.

For today's challenge, each team

will be creating a variety of sliders using seafood,

lamb, poultry, beef,

and then finally pork.

- Decide who's doing what. - Seafood.

I come from a seafood state... Maine,

and I want to do seafood so bad right now.

I want seafood. Let me do seafood.

I never pick it. Just let me have seafood, bro.

Why? She called seafood first.

Seafood is my thing.

Honestly I don't give a what my team thinks.

- I'll do beef. - I'll take the pork.

I was thinking about doing egg.

An egg would be great.

- Ten seconds left. - I don't cook with lamb.

- I don't cook with chicken. - I'll do chicken. That's fine.

Matt, you better deliver.

If you're gonna fight me over something like this,

it better be perfect.

- Have you decided? - Yes, Chef.

Okay, great, now that everybody knows

what kind of slider they're gonna be making,

let me show you how you're gonna get

your additional ingredients.

- Oh, . - Follow me.

Yes, Chef.

Are we about to have to go outside and try to

wrangle up a lamb or hunt down a cow

or something for our proteins?

- I'm expecting livestock. - It's big.

- Oh! - A ball pit!

- Morning, Chef. - Bonjourno.

- Marino. - Oh, my God.

Oh, this is awesome.

Definitely feels like a five-year-old's birthday party,

except we're at "Hell's Kitchen,"

and it's nobody's birthday.

What better way to choose your ingredients

for your sliders then by sliding into ingredients.

Pass me a ball.

On the balls are the names of ingredients.

Red Team, clearly you're hunting for the red balls.
