20 Chefs Compete
Season Premiere March 13 |
|
It's a restaurant where anything can
happen... like flash mobs at dinner. This is the restaurant where dreams
either become reality... or nightmares. And this season, the stakes are
even higher, because Chef Ramsay is looking for HIS next head chef.
Let's meet our players... - Michael
"Mike" Aresta 38 Chef Instructor Keyport, New Jersey CHALLENGE #1: Signature Dish Of course, it's men vs. women. And the last chef standing wins a position as head chef of a Gordon Ramsay restaurant... with an annual salary of $250,000. Anton (Surf & turf) vs. Simone (Pork
chop) Nicole (Halibut) vs. Jason (Wild Salmon)
- Jason is returning from season 9. Chris (Cornish hen) vs. Joy (Chilled corn
soup) Kashia (New York Strip) vs. Mike
("Packaged tortellini") Melanie (scallops) vs. Richard (sea bass) Bev (fish tacos) vs. Gabriel (chicken
breast) Gaurav (tuna steak) vs. Sandra (cod) Beth (Catfish) vs. DeMarco (Ricotta
gnocchi) Rochelle (sauteed chicken) vs. Ralph
(Lobster) Jessica (venison loin) vs. Scott (rack of
lamb) A happy birthday for Jessica indeed. They get to go to dinner at Gordon Ramsay's LA restaurant, London West Hollywood. The men are going to have to clean the kitchen and dining room in preparation for their opening tomorrow night. Speaking of... let's fast-forward a bit to... "JP... Open Hell's Kitchen, please." DINNER SERVICE #1 As a reminder, each team is given one day to study the recipes of Hell's Kitchen. They'll also have their own JA Henckel knife kits. What they need to do, though, is work on their teamwork. In addition to the classic HK menu, there will be tableside Caesar salad. Melanie and Chris will handle those duties. Gaurav is first to the pass with his risotto... runniy. Lobster tail isn't any better. Neither is the scallop. The Red team is not faring any better, thanks to Nicole's rubbery scallops. Gaurav's second risotto... has too much pepper. Second time with the scallops, and Nicole has checked out. Forty-five minutes in, and not a single appetizer has left the kitchen. And Gaurav has licked his fingers off of the risotto AND put them back in. An hour in, and the only food hitting tables are salads and breads. Meanwhile, the Reds are busy yelling at each other. No communication whatsoever. And DeMarco's lobster tail... still not up to par. Nicole's lobster... is just going in, when Joy says she can cook it in 45 seconds. Good luck with that. Yep. Raw lobster. That sends the first Reds - Sandra, Joy, and Nicole - upstairs. Back in the Blue kitchen, another plate of rubber scallops sends the entire team to the bleachers. Back in the Red kitchen, Ramsay is hoping for something... ANYTHING... to crow about. In the worst opening night in the history of Hell's Kitchen, we have ZERO food going out of both kitchens. "I can't stand the embarrassment any longer.... Shut it down." Both kitchens are charged with two nominees. ELIMINATION #1 Anton nominates G and DeMarco for the Blue Team. Kashia nominates Sandra and Nicole. Nicole says she has passion and desire. Sandra says she followed direction and "babied" the fish station. Gaurav says that he has talent and passion and attitude. "You forgot fingers." DeMarco says they had a system. Ultimately, the fast fingers of GAURAV was an unforgivable sin. "There's so many things about India that I love. It's a shame Gaurav isn't one of them." WINNERS: .... another tie! The Sudarsos & the Kaufmans will split the money! So far, the Kaufmans are up to $3500 in bonuses.
