Transcript

00:00Previously on Yes Chef, we've gathered 12 professional chefs with one thing standing

00:11in their way. Oh, dear. I'm going to punch the fryer in a second. Themselves. Oh, my God. If

00:18something goes wrong, it gives me this tunnel vision. I feel like a failure. They may call

00:23you control freak. Do what I'm trying to do here, right? But how is it a nacho? Oh, my God. This

00:27is why I work alone. Hotheads. Don't roll your eyes at me. I was rolling my eyes because

00:32this is the third time I'm cooking again. This is a cooking competition. The way to win this

00:37game is get rid of the best chef. Chef T. I want to see Zane out of here. These are evil.

00:42Shots fired. We're going to make some enemies. Two words. Un-believe-able. That's one word.

00:49You open the **** here. This is not something I was expecting from Chef Christopher. Thank

00:53you, Chris. Here. Thank you. Go. Serving that to a **** Michelin star chef.

00:57This. If I were to go home today, I would physically just never cook again. The chef

01:01going home is Chef Peter. That kid has such a long career in front of him. It's not the

01:09last of him. Welcome to Yes Chef. Oh, man. A 23-year-old competing with us. Yeah. I mean,

01:19it's crazy how far you've made it. It's just hard. Jose Andres, he's my biggest mentor in the

01:25world. Yeah. I'm like, I'm sorry. I just went all good.

01:30Good morning, Chef. Good morning, y'all. That was a quick turnaround. We're at six. That

01:45went fast. Final six. It's a big deal. I'm going to be focused on what needs to get done,

01:50and I'm going to get it done. I know we have beef. Nobody getting in my way today. If you

01:56want to try, try it. But also, we understand each other's capability, and if we have the

02:02choice, I'd like to join up. We could be a powerful. That's what I'm saying. Just make

02:08sure we're not in cook-offs. It did not feel good. Peter going home, it's at a point where

02:12we care, which is surprising for me because I don't really care about a lot of things.

02:16I'm the only child, and everything in my life has been on my shoulders. Three years ago,

02:21my roommate found me on the floor. There's not a medical explanation of what happened. I had

02:26extreme brain swelling. Doctors thought I was not going to make it. I fell into a coma for 14

02:32days. I couldn't walk. I got a second chance. I get to push on, keep going, keep going. This has

02:38changed me into the person I am right now, so I need to get this done because we cannot be here

02:43tomorrow. Nobody knows. Let's get it. Let's do it. Hello, hello, hello. The diminished group. Only six

02:58chefs left. This must feel very good to each of you to be just five chefs away from the $250,000

03:06price. Yeah. But the truth is that we have a very big kitchen, Martha. We used to be 12. Now

03:15there's only six left. I can fix that. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Look who's here.

03:36Welcome back, chefs. Chef Peter, I see your hand. I punch the floor, chef. You're left or right?

03:46My left hand. I'm a lefty. Good Lord.

03:50To look back at it and think about how angry I was just over a piece of food, it makes you look at

03:56yourself and be like, what can I do to get better? Breaking my hand wasn't on my schedule, but it's

04:02something I definitely learned from and I'll hold with me for the rest of my life. I think we've all

04:08been there. I've been in the walk-in when I lost control of a kitchen on a Friday night and I'm like

04:13screaming at the tomatoes.

04:18Jose and I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, so these chefs have another chance to get

04:24back into the game. Wow. I'm back. Chef Petrina, here you are again. Had a lot of time to think. You

04:33only had one wig in this kitchen. I left not having my opportunity to fight in the cook-off and having

04:39another shot feels great. The worst has already happened. Now that that's out of the way, I'm

04:44feeling pretty fearless. Chris, how do you feel about your former competitors coming back? Some I'm happy

04:50about. Some on the fence. You had a hiatus to think about your grilled cheese. The chefs that are

04:57fighting day in and day out are like, what the ? We're all going to have to bring the best that we

05:03can do. Chef T, she's a beast of a chef. A lot of people deep down inside are thankful she went home

05:08early. To get the opportunity to go through someone instead of cowardly going around them, I'm going to

05:13relish every single moment of it, chef. Man, it kind of reminds me of high school a little bit.

05:19It's done. Get over it. I'm not going down this time. So today will be an opportunity for the

05:26eliminated chefs to get sweet revenge. All of your chefs will make a dish that's sweet.

05:34Sweet revenge. It can be a dessert. Can be a savory dish like sweet and sour dishes. But it must

05:40be sweet. Your food will have to speak because we're going to be tasting blind. After Jose and I have

05:50tasted each of your dishes, we're going to be ranking the eliminated chefs separately from the chefs who

05:57are still in the competition. The top two eliminated chefs will choose which of the bottom current chefs

06:05they want to face in the cook-off. If the eliminated chef wins, they will take their opponent's place

06:11in the competition. This is a big opportunity for redemption, eliminated chefs. Jesus.

06:19Lee's looking a little bit more gray. Maybe it's time for him to go home. Emily has that mom thing,

06:24like she's been to three soccer games in 24 hours. She's ready for a nap.

06:28There are 90 minutes on the clock. You will cook in two groups. Eliminated chefs will start first.

06:3730 minutes later, the chef remaining in the competition will start. Please, go to your station.

06:43Chef Peter, meet me in the pantry.

06:45What's up, chef?

06:50Chef Peter, who's your hand? It's all right. Stupid mistake.

06:54You're not the only one that sometimes goes through these moments.

06:57The important part is how do we come out and power.

07:01Yeah.

07:01When I began as a chef, I was your age. You have so much more to learn and to give.

07:09Things are not going to go as you plan. Use that moment of frustration.

07:15Use it as fire.

07:17Control your fire, my friend. Don't let that fire burn you from within.

07:22I don't care anymore if you win or you lose. I only want to see what you do next.

07:26After that moment.

07:28I believe in myself.

07:30Thank you, chef.

07:31Go to the moon.

07:33Go.

07:33And compare the world.

07:37We're leaving the kitchen.

07:39Eliminated chefs.

07:41Your time starts now.

07:43Good luck, chefs.

07:45Good luck.

07:45Martha, it's exciting that the chefs have an opportunity to come back.

07:53Very exciting.

07:54Especially like Katrina.

07:56She has a chance to show more skills than what she was able to show us the first week.

08:01I'm anxious to see what she makes.

08:03We have one going for the plates.

08:04Chef Petrina, awfully calm.

08:05I overthink a lot.

08:07I'm constantly in my head.

08:09Enjoying this lobster.

08:10Oh my God.

08:11So right now, I'm just trying to own throughout the whole thing.

08:15Petrina, what you working on?

08:16Fruit tart.

08:17You're like a walking zen.

08:18It's nerve wracking.

08:19You're so calm.

08:20Psychological warfare.

08:24Tia, what are you making?

08:25It's a version of shaved ice in the form of a granita with my tart.

08:30What you over there making?

08:31Ricotta cheesecake with a berry compote.

08:33Don't let that crust crack.

08:34It's graham cracker, baby.

08:35Don't worry.

08:36Are you using this boat?

08:37Can I have this?

08:38No, those are mine.

08:39This competition is mentally tough.

08:41It also drives my anger.

08:43But if I allow Michelle to continue to take up more real estate in my mind, she's actually won.

08:50Let's go.

08:51Let's go.

08:52Let's go.

08:54Cut her ass still going to be fast, even with a broken arm.

08:56Tiki regrets that right now.

08:58Probably a pretty valuable lesson.

08:59Not a good place to learn it, though.

09:01There's only two spots to get to the next round.

09:03I'm going to do everything in my power, half power, to cook my ass off.

09:07Knife cuts aren't going to be the best today, I'll tell you that.

09:10I was fired on the first year of my restaurant twice.

09:13Alejo, my Spanish restaurant.

09:15So I came back.

09:17Hulk with three fingers.

09:18See?

09:18Look at that grip.

09:20An hour and 15 left.

09:22Careful if you go into the freezer.

09:23I've got my granita propped up.

09:26Julia, what you doing?

09:27I'm going to do a stuffed berry crepe with a ricotta cream.

09:30I was eliminated because I made the wrong decision for my team.

09:34It's like, thank God I got another chance.

09:36I know I can do better.

09:38You know, once you got out already, it doesn't feel as rushed.

09:40I feel chiller on this side now.

09:42Okay.

09:42Could we wrap the butter a little bit more?

09:44It's like a Barbie doll.

09:45Let's complaining.

09:46We're here.

09:47We got another change.

09:48Could you wrap the butter?

09:49We just hear Michelle yapping and complaining.

09:52The oven sucks.

09:53I hear what you're saying.

09:54The oven's not hot enough.

09:56The blast chiller's not cold enough.

09:58And this is why I don't like working with others.

10:02You good, Michelle?

10:03It's in God's hands.

10:04Technically in Martha and Jose's hands, but, you know.

10:07To go through more challenges to just be replaced sucks.

10:12Yeah.

10:13Nauseous.

10:13Like, everything about me is, like, anxious right now.

10:16Finding out that two of them can take two of our places.

10:18It's hunting me.

10:20They deserve a second chance.

10:22Good luck, chefs.

10:23You're coming.

10:24You're working.

10:24But I don't want to go home.

10:26I feel like I'm in panic mode.

10:28Crazy.

10:36Let's go.

10:38Go, go, go.

10:39Taking all the eggs.

10:41Oh, beep, beep, beep.

10:44I want to be next to you at the end of this.

10:47Oh, yeah.

10:48What are you doing?

10:48Fig balsamic gastrique.

10:50Some pork loin.

10:51Damn.

10:52You and I definitely have similar styles.

10:53I'm doing pork loin with a gastrique.

10:55I'm making chocolate pasta.

10:57See what I mean about savory meat sweet?

10:59Very Libra of you.

11:00I need to make sure if this reads Christopher Morales all over this dish.

11:04Ravioli's fresh in their head.

11:05From me, might as well go ravioli.

11:08All right, big dog, you got this.

11:09Work with me, baby.

11:10Martha, do you study medicine?

11:14I would have been a doctor if I weren't me.

11:16I see.

11:16You are ready to go in the operation room.

11:19I am my mise en place for tasting.

11:21My sister.

11:22I thought I was going to make a dessert with no chili.

11:25Come on, baby cakes.

11:26Come on.

11:27Chef T, be an interesting comeback.

11:30I'm worried about that one, too.

11:32I'm worried about all them bitches.

11:33Oh, my hands are shaky.

11:37Freeze, chef, breathe.

11:38What are you making?

11:39I'm making a fudgy chocolate cake with strawberries.

11:43I don't know what to do.

11:46My stomach's just anxious.

11:49Pastry is precise measurements, and recipes are not as forgiving.

11:53I've worked for three-star Michelins, but I can feel all those ugly insecurities coming out.

11:59Please, for the love of God, don't burn.

12:01Hashtag not a baker.

12:02I think that's for most of us other than Ronnie-esque.

12:04Ronnie seems very mellow.

12:06The professor, baby.

12:07Zen master right here.

12:09I love sweet desserts.

12:11I have succeeded with two desserts.

12:14I feel more confident now than I have during this entire competition.

12:18Ronnie making popcorn.

12:19I'm surprised that Ronnie's still here.

12:21Why would you do popcorn?

12:22I don't know.

12:24Nothing against those chefs, but we sweat it out.

12:27We battle week in, week out.

12:29I agree with Chris for once.

12:32The six chefs that have been here since day one, we bust our ass working on ourselves

12:37and working as a team.

12:39A hot.

12:40Well, I mean.

12:41But it's fire.

12:42I've shown growth by letting my ego down, tasting other chefs' dishes instead of sabotaging,

12:47and I'm proud of that.

12:48We never went home.

12:50We're not going to go home this week.

12:51He just mic dropped out of that.

12:53How much time we got, Blue?

12:55Nine minutes, guys.

12:56Coming out in two seconds.

12:59Easy, easy.

12:59My granita is in there.

13:02I've got to get this mixture cooled down to create that granita-like texture.

13:07Get out the freezer.

13:08I am guarding this freezer with my freaking life.

13:11I was given a raw deal by the way that I was eliminated, and I just had this burning desire.

13:17Someone's working on a crumble.

13:19Graham crackers.

13:20That was mine.

13:21That was you?

13:21Stop.

13:22That ain't working.

13:24Peter, how's your tart?

13:25Uh-uh.

13:27Guys, we have five minutes.

13:28Just have to go regular graham cracker.

13:30That was my graham crackers from before.

13:32You okay?

13:32Yeah.

13:32Okay.

13:33I don't need them.

13:33I would have been pissed off before, but everyone's not perfect.

13:37They've got to take a step back and just take a breath.

13:39I've been safe in time all day.

13:41I only got to watch one hand.

13:42Peter has a big smile on his face.

13:44I want to just kind of like rub his back.

13:47The mom in me is so proud.

13:48What?

13:49That's dope.

13:52Come on out.

13:57Come on out.

13:58Come on.

14:00Okay.

14:00My pastry tart is very delicate, and they all start.

14:03Falling apart.

14:04It feels like day one all over again.

14:06How you doing, Petrina?

14:07I will not let this kitchen defeat me.

14:10All right, guys.

14:11We have two minutes.

14:12Two minutes.

14:13Down to the wire.

14:15I have to get more juice into this granita without it overflowing.

14:20Come on.

14:21I remember the syringes.

14:23I've never plated anything in a syringe before.

14:26You got it, Tawita.

14:27One minute.

14:30Nice.

14:31Fish.

14:32I can work with this.

14:34These twills, they're not perfect.

14:35They're falling apart.

14:36But I do find small pieces that I like, so I add those parts to my plate.

14:41I hope the judges don't notice that these are broken pieces.

14:45It's a whimsical fruit tart.

14:48Time's up.

14:49That's how we go in.

14:50My OCD is, like, off the chart right now.

14:53Chef Lee, cook your ass off.

14:55Thanks, bud.

14:56Oh, my God.

14:58Martha, take a look what we're getting here.

15:01We have to choose our two favorites, and we don't know who made what.

15:06I mean, take a look at the whimsical pastry tart.

15:08With creme anglaise, raspberries, gooseberries, and strawberries.

15:12The presentation is very beautiful.

15:14The pastry is not very tender.

15:17This, to me, is whimsy.

15:19This is a pastry tart that you are eating like a soup.

15:22Deconstructed.

15:24This is called lemon-strawberry-bourbon tart.

15:27There's no pastry.

15:29It's a nice tart.

15:30Lemon flavor.

15:31Lemon curd is usually smoother and much more pungent with lemon.

15:36Ricotta cheesecake with berry compote and graham cracker crust.

15:40It's a little large.

15:42Nobody's going to be hungry.

15:43The crust doesn't seem to be holding together.

15:46And to me, when a cheesecake becomes its own sauce, it's undercooked.

15:50Taste the crepe.

15:51A stuffed berry crepe with ricotta cream.

15:54A little bit too thick.

15:55But it's tender, so you don't feel like you're chewing through a big, thick pancake.

15:59I like the sugary strawberry powder.

16:01You can do so much with the dehydrated fruits.

16:05Big and blue cheese hand pie with granita.

16:09For a granita, the ice is too icy.

16:13Let me tell you, I love this syringe.

16:15Which I find very disturbing.

16:16They don't know.

16:17Oh, God.

16:18Oh, my God.

16:19You are attacking me.

16:20I don't like a syringe on the table.

16:26Well, I think we have our two favorites out of the five.

16:31Oh, so much sugar.

16:32It's like my heart is racing now.

16:34I apologize for all the sugar.

16:36Someone has to clean up.

16:37Martha has commented a few times on balance of dishes.

16:40It can't just be sweet on sweet.

16:42It definitely needs some acid.

16:43Tartness from the apple is going to counterbalance the sweetness that I have going on right now.

16:48I like it, but I like it, too.

16:50Try this.

16:52Oh, God.

16:53I'm not trying to on you.

16:54No, no.

16:54My cake is dry.

16:55Let's hope this milk works.

16:57Are you smoking milk?

16:58Yeah.

16:58Suck up.

16:59You know?

16:59Yeah.

16:59Good idea.

17:00Smart.

17:01Five minutes, chef.

17:02Five minutes.

17:04Pastry is also art.

17:05Let's make it beautiful.

17:06Heard.

17:06Final six for a reason.

17:08Let's remember that.

17:09Yes, chef.

17:0920 seconds.

17:10Let's go.

17:1120 seconds first.

17:12Behind, behind, behind, behind.

17:14Good job, y'all.

17:16Good job.

17:20Oh, my God.

17:22My first impression, the chefs in the competition are in the competition for a reason.

17:28First, a maple bacon pork tenderloin with sweet pepper and corn puree.

17:34And what I really like is the gastrique.

17:38Very flavorful.

17:39The only thing I wish is that the tenderloin is sliced thinner.

17:43You're right.

17:44Here's sweet and spicy glazed pork loin with pumpkin spice delicata.

17:50Mmm.

17:50The meat is pinker.

17:52It makes it more enjoyable once you have it in the mouth.

17:56Chocolate cappelletti.

17:57Peanut butter creme anglaise.

17:59If you give me peanut butter creme anglaise, my God.

18:03Weird but good.

18:04But the juice overcomes the main part of this dish.

18:08It's almost like the cappelletti is the one that doesn't belong.

18:12Sweet corn custard, brown butter cake, crispy sweet chilies.

18:17There's a lot going on in this dish.

18:19It's my type of dessert.

18:21It's very playful.

18:22It's not over sweet for a dessert.

18:25The miso chocolate brownie with a strawberry white chocolate ganache.

18:29I love white chocolate.

18:31It is the fat of the cocoa beans.

18:33But it's overly sweet.

18:35Yeah, it is very sweet.

18:36If you eat a tiny bit, I don't know.

18:39Now here's a cute dessert.

18:41Honey marshmallow with caramel corn.

18:44The presentation is beautiful.

18:45This is sort of kitschy, fun, but it's so sweet.

18:50I think the honey also brought in a flavor that isn't so good with this dessert.

18:55Oh my God, this is so difficult.

18:57How'd you do, babe?

18:58I'm happy.

18:59If you guys did better than me, I'll see you at the cook-off.

19:02Do I believe that everyone deserves a second chance?

19:04Yes, but in this game, no.

19:07We have been here.

19:09We deserve to stay.

19:10How do you feel?

19:11Like I'm going to vomit.

19:12Yeah.

19:12I don't want to see anyone come back.

19:14There's the door.

19:14He's it.

19:17You confident?

19:25I don't know.

19:25I feel good about the dish.

19:27I'm confident.

19:28I might not be MVC, but I'm confident I'm up there.

19:32Hello, chefs.

19:33Hello, chefs.

19:35So many of you, we have some results to share with you.

19:40We still don't have a clue who made what.

19:44He ate so much of every dessert.

19:49We're going to start with the current chefs.

19:52So the top three chefs will be safe and the bottom three will be at risk.

19:57Martha and I, we would like to know who made the sweet corn custard.

20:02I'm whipped cream.

20:04Zane.

20:05Zane.

20:06Zane.

20:06The brown sugar and brown butter cake play very well with the sweet corn custard.

20:13But I keep digging and digging and digging.

20:16Can I explain he's having a sugar high?

20:22Chef Zane.

20:25You're safe.

20:26Thank you, chefs.

20:28Who made the maple bacon wrapped pork tenderloin?

20:32That dish was colorful and the topping was delicious.

20:37You're safe from elimination.

20:40The miso chocolate brownie and roasted marcona almond.

20:44I would pee me.

20:45I really love brownies.

20:47I did not love your brownie.

20:50I only wish it was not so dry.

20:52It's so dry.

20:53It hurt.

20:54Unfortunately, you are going to be a great chef.

20:58Martha hates my brownie.

20:59It takes me right back to being insecure of my cooking abilities.

21:03I'm embarrassed.

21:05The honey marshmallow with caramel corn.

21:07Yes, chef.

21:08Chef Ronnie.

21:09Wow.

21:09Thank you, chef.

21:09The plate was beautiful.

21:11It was just too sweet, a little bit difficult on the teeth, and you are at risk.

21:19I disagree with the assessment.

21:22You know, I can sit here and be like, oh, you know, I don't, I'm not believing in myself.

21:25No, it's not that.

21:26I'm honestly like, what the, huh?

21:29You thought my sweet dessert was too sweet.

21:32So I'm, I'm a little mad.

21:36Who made the sweet and spicy glazed pork?

21:39And obviously the chocolate cappelletti pasta was yours, chef Christopher.

21:45One of you is at risk, and one of you is safe.

21:49Of the two dishes, we decided that, Jake, we liked your dish better.

21:57So you are safe.

21:59Chef Christopher.

22:00When the sauce is tastier than the main dish, there's some problems with that.

22:05You are at risk.

22:06So now, the eliminated chefs who have returned, there are five of you now, and two of you will

22:13have the chance to cook your way back into the competition.

22:17The lemon strawberry bourbon tart.

22:19St. Peter.

22:20Considering your injury today, it was amazing that you got a nice dessert out.

22:25It was a pretty little plate, but your lemon curd just didn't have enough lemon in it.

22:31It was not one of our favorites.

22:38Peter, we spoke, you and I, before.

22:41That's not the end.

22:43That's the beginning.

22:44Yes, chef.

22:45Thank you, chef.

22:47Who made the whimsical pastry tart?

22:50The pastry was not so flaky as it should have been, but Jose ate every single bit of that

22:59cream.

23:00So, chef, Katrina, we have some news to give you.

23:04Her dish.

23:06It was one of our two favorites.

23:11You have earned a spot in the cook-off.

23:13How does that feel?

23:14I was able to overcome all the issues with my dish.

23:23I'm definitely feeling more confident than the last time I was here.

23:26Next, ricotta.

23:27Cheesecake with berry compote.

23:30Chef Michel.

23:31That was a good cheesecake, but that one needed more crust, no less.

23:36And it was in a curved dish, so it cracked.

23:40It didn't make it through.

23:42I understand.

23:43So, that leaves chef Julia and chef T.

23:47One of you will have a chance to cook in the cook-off.

23:52We made the stuffed berry crepe with ricotta cream.

23:55The crepe was tender.

23:56I wish that crepe was thinner, but my God, that was tasty.

24:01The fig and blue cheese hand pie.

24:03The pastry was flaky and a beautiful color.

24:07I love that syringe.

24:09You took a chance with the syringe.

24:11It kind of turned me off.

24:12When I was growing up, you would finish it with the condensed milk.

24:16Did you put condensed milk on the ice?

24:18Yeah.

24:19I didn't taste that.

24:21One of you is one step closer to getting back into the competition.

24:26The final spot in the cook-off goes to...

24:31Chef Julia.

24:34That was one of my favorites.

24:38Chef T, I'm so sorry.

24:40It's okay.

24:43I've never plated anything in a syringe before.

24:45Why would I do this?

24:47But at least I'm not going home because someone's threatened by me.

24:51I'm ready to move on.

24:52Cut.

24:52Chef T.

24:54Chef Julia, Chef Katrina, congratulations.

24:56You've made it into the cook-off.

24:57When we return to the kitchen, you will choose who you want to compete against.

25:03Between Emily, Ronnie, and Chris.

25:06Chef T, Chef Peter, Chef Michelle, if you want to say your goodbyes.

25:12It's good to see you again.

25:13Okay, I saw.

25:13I may not have won my way back into the competition today, but I'm just really proud of myself.

25:20Definitely not going to let my old habits get my way.

25:22I love you, Mama.

25:23I love you too, baby.

25:24I did the best I could.

25:26I was just true to myself and I put it all out there.

25:28Take care.

25:29But...

25:29Because I wanted to win.

25:35I wanted to win so bad.

25:37You got this.

25:38Get outside of your head.

25:40Guys, we got to go.

25:41Chef Lee, Jake.

25:42Bye.

25:43Jake.

25:44Bye, guys.

25:44I got that one.

25:46Congratulations.

25:47Congratulations.

25:48To everyone.

25:49I have a tough choice right now.

25:50It's kind of hard to make a choice on who to cook against when you don't really know anything

25:54about them.

25:55This will decide whether or not I make it back into this competition.

25:58Do you guys have any idea on who you want to go against?

26:01I don't know what to expect, to be honest.

26:03I don't know Petrina at all.

26:05The one dish that she did, the lobster thing, was like a spur-of-the-moment first-day jitters.

26:10And Julia's blint was gorgeous.

26:12Yeah.

26:13She nailed it.

26:14How do you feel?

26:15Terrible.

26:16Who would you choose out of the three?

26:17Chris and Emily have Michelin experience.

26:20I don't want to say that Ronnie's the weakest link because he keeps surpassing even when

26:26I doubt him.

26:26It's probably Chris, Emily, Ronnie.

26:29As far as skill.

26:30Chris, Emily.

26:31Mm-hmm.

26:31I want back into this game.

26:33It just takes one chef to get back in.

26:35Just outcook him.

26:36Yeah.

26:37That's all you gotta do.

26:38I'm gonna pick the weakest link that I think I can eat.

26:40Welcome back to the kitchen, chefs.

26:56Once again, it's time for the cook-off.

27:00Chef Julia and Chef Petrina will be choosing who they want to compete against in the cook-off.

27:06The winner stays.

27:08The loser goes.

27:10We'll start with Petrina.

27:12I was the first eliminated, so I didn't get to see any of the talented chefs, and I know

27:17they're all talented.

27:17That being said, I choose Chris.

27:22Chris, you are to cook-off against Petrina.

27:27Let's do it.

27:28The pick from Petrina was a big surprise to me.

27:30I'm one of the best chefs.

27:32I mean, what the did I ever do to you?

27:35So, Petrina, did you ask anybody in the lounge about these three?

27:38I did.

27:39They gave their input.

27:40There was nothing.

27:41It was just I had to pick a name.

27:43Julia mentions the skills of Chris, so I'm thinking the best thing to do.

27:47Way to kind of prove myself is just beat out the best.

27:51So, Julia.

27:53So, this is hard because I love all of you.

27:57I choose Chef Ronnie.

27:59Last time we went against each other, you beat me, so now let's go again.

28:04Battle of the sexes.

28:06I wouldn't say I'm ready to go to my third cook-off, but I have to be.

28:08I'm definitely feeling more confident today, and it almost feels like this is where I live

28:12now, competing in every cook-off to save my own hide.

28:15So, chefs, one of the first lessons my father ever told me was to control my fire.

28:24And in tonight's cook-off, we are going to be asking you to control the fire.

28:30You have 30 minutes to use one of three fire techniques.

28:35The first technique is grill.

28:38Next, flambe.

28:41Flambe.

28:42And now my retinas are burned.

28:47And third, torch.

28:51Okay.

28:55Hold on.

28:58I made two dishes, and I ain't got a glass.

29:00So, the current chefs, Christopher, Ronnie, you get to choose the technique that you are

29:08going to compete with.

29:10Christopher, you get to choose first.

29:13I'm going to choose grill.

29:14I'm excited for grill.

29:15I come from a steak background, and I know I'm going to nail it.

29:19Chef Ronnie?

29:21Flambe.

29:21The only thing that I flambe or know how to flambe is crepes Suzette.

29:26And I'm like, I can't make crepes again.

29:29I literally just made them.

29:31Well, chefs, redemption is on the line.

29:34You have 30 minutes.

29:35It's starting now.

29:38Let's go, chef.

29:39You guys got this.

29:40And she's just as cool as a cucumber.

29:43I know, Pascal.

29:46Oh, look at that.

29:48All right.

29:48Me.

29:49And meat in hand.

29:50Burned my receding hairline.

29:52All right.

29:53What do we think of Julia?

29:54Are you going crepe Suzette?

29:55Crepe Suzette.

29:56Already made a crepe.

29:57Let's do it again.

29:58They liked your crepes.

29:59Nail it.

30:00She can't do a crepe again.

30:01Why revisit the same place you've been?

30:04I'm trying to beef super zen.

30:06I'm in front of Jose and Martha, but I'm terrified.

30:10Crepes got you here.

30:11That's true.

30:12Will these crepes keep you here?

30:14Let's hope.

30:15You have 25 minutes to find out.

30:17What are we thinking, bud?

30:18What are you doing, Ronnie?

30:19Salsa matcha and ribeye.

30:21And then flambe it with a little bit of mezcal.

30:24Oh, nice.

30:25All right.

30:25There we go.

30:26Beautiful.

30:27I've done okay with some desserts, but I want to show that I'm more than just sweet.

30:31I think I have a good shot of winning against her again.

30:34How often have you done flambe, chef Ronnie?

30:37On purpose or not on purpose?

30:40He's going flambe in this savory way.

30:42He's going to be using mezcal.

30:45I don't like the smoky flavor.

30:47So remember that when you make me a margarita.

30:49All right.

30:5122 minutes.

30:52All right, thanks.

30:53And chef Petrino, what are you doing?

30:55Grilled chicken curry, Martha.

30:56I grew up eating curry.

30:58My mom makes the best curry.

31:00I want to give the judges a dish to get to know me better.

31:03So now here I am finally getting what I was robbed of in the first round, which is cooking

31:09for my life.

31:10Chef Christopher, what are you going to make?

31:12Roasted vegetable risotto and some grilled filets.

31:16Interesting.

31:17Is that risotto?

31:18It's a kiss of death.

31:19Risotto?

31:19Yeah.

31:20Making risotto in 30 minutes I think is a horrible idea.

31:23You need to stand over it and stir constantly.

31:26This is not the time to try to do something that you can't walk away from.

31:31Guys, come back.

31:31Don't burn your rice.

31:32Don't burn your rice.

31:33Going risotto is definitely a bold choice.

31:36If I can pull risotto off in 30 minutes, that's going to wow the judges.

31:39Let's get some more water in that risotto.

31:41It's getting dry.

31:42Because if I can do that, I'm untouchable.

31:44If he's able to pull these, wow.

31:47Do not burn your rice.

31:48I'm going to make it.

31:49I'm going to make it.

31:49Don't burn the rice.

31:50Don't burn the rice.

31:50You guys got 15.

31:59Heard.

32:01Flambe.

32:02Flambe moment.

32:04Oh!

32:06So the flambe is the moment that you burn the alcohol.

32:09You let the alcohol reduce.

32:12So it's bringing the aroma of the liquor.

32:15Mezcal in this case.

32:16Tilt it.

32:17There you go.

32:18Fire.

32:19Woo!

32:19Julia is now starting to flambe.

32:22Both got the flambe we were looking for.

32:25Risotto, come check.

32:27Thank you, chef.

32:27That was nice, chef.

32:28You're playing fair.

32:29Right now, I feel like my biggest competition is myself.

32:32Even though there is a cook-off happening, on the inside, there's an internal battle that

32:38I have to face alone.

32:39There's just no way of telling from the outside.

32:41You're just never going to know, because it's the same face.

32:47I've never made risotto on a pan like that.

32:49Did you add cream to it?

32:50Yeah.

32:51Oh.

32:51Going on a whim here.

32:53Every Italian just rolled over in their grave.

32:55Yeah.

32:55It's sacrilegious to add cream to a risotto.

32:58The creaminess of a risotto comes from the rice itself, and he's got me nervous right now,

33:03for sure.

33:06Oh, no.

33:07You okay, chef?

33:08Friendly fire.

33:09Into the face.

33:10Ronnie, how you feeling?

33:11I'm feeling wonderful.

33:12Where are you at with your matcha?

33:13It's almost done.

33:14Love that.

33:15We have five minutes.

33:16Five minutes.

33:17Just make sure those are hot.

33:19Everything needs to go out hot.

33:20How's it look, chef?

33:22Whoa!

33:2230 seconds, chef.

33:2930 seconds.

33:30Hit it on the plate.

33:32Make it look beautiful.

33:33Five, four, three, two, one.

33:37Good job, chef.

33:38Time's up.

33:38Good job, chef.

33:39Good job.

33:42It's been very exciting finish.

33:49You're not going to flambe at the table?

33:50I didn't want any hair to go missing, you know?

33:54Hey, Ronnie.

33:55Yes.

33:55What did you make for us tonight?

33:56Cancer ribeye with a salsa matcha, cauliflower puree, and I flambeed the steak and the salsa

34:04matcha with mezcal.

34:05It's a lot of things going on in the matcha sauce.

34:10So, chef Yulia, you already made us a crepe.

34:12Yes.

34:13Are you doubling down on crepes?

34:15I am.

34:16Why not double down on the crepe?

34:17If you guys liked it, and this was my 30-minute take on a crepe Suzette with orange liqueur,

34:23blood orange, and I flambeed the syrup with the oranges inside.

34:27Mm-hmm.

34:28It would be super embarrassing to be eliminated again this quickly.

34:33Like, I just did a cook-off and got eliminated.

34:35Do I have to make an ass of myself again on national television?

34:38Well, thank you very much.

34:40Another set of dishes to taste.

34:42Yes, chef.

34:44Thank you, chef.

34:46A little hot, chef.

34:47Thank you very much.

34:48Be careful.

34:49Chef Petrina, what did you make?

34:51So, I decided if I'm going to go out, it's going to go something that is a part of my heart,

34:55so I wanted to do a curry.

34:56So, it's a grilled curry chicken dish.

34:58You describe curry like very personal to you.

35:01So, I was actually born in Jamaica.

35:03I lived there until I was nine, and I grew up eating curry, so I went with that.

35:07Now, Christopher, tell us what you did.

35:10Today, I presented to you a grilled technique three different ways.

35:13So, first, you're going to have, obviously, your grilled steak.

35:15In your risotto, you have grilled vegetables.

35:17And then, for the sauce, I did a roasted red pepper, coulis, if you want to call it.

35:21You make risotto often?

35:23Yes, chef.

35:25Very tough decision to make.

35:27Thank you very much.

35:28I swung for the fences week after week, you know, making fresh pasta, making risotto.

35:34I went on a whim here, and I cannot go home tonight.

35:36In the flambe challenge between Julia and Ronnie.

35:40One dessert against a savory dish.

35:43The quality of the crepes now were better than a few hours ago.

35:48They were.

35:48It was simple and delicious.

35:51But I wish was more sauce.

35:53Chef Ronnie got the explosion of the day.

35:57The meat was well cooked.

35:59But you know what I wish?

36:01That out of that flambe was enough remaining mezcal to right there make a sauce.

36:08And now for the grilling challenge, chef Petrina.

36:11The chicken curry with those beautifully grilled vegetables.

36:15The sauce is flavorful.

36:18I only wish she waited longer to slice her chicken because it will be slightly more juicy.

36:27On the other hand, chef Christopher, he cooked a beautiful piece of meat.

36:33But the risotto falls a little bit short.

36:36A little bit underdone.

36:37I hope my game plan worked.

36:39I am 100% confident in this.

36:41I do steak every day at my restaurant.

36:43And it's very easy to overseen a curry chicken.

36:46How'd your risotto come on?

36:47Good.

36:48I'm happy with the cream.

36:49Petrina, you're the weakest link.

36:51Goodbye.

36:51If I go home on that today, you outcook me.

36:54Chefs, kudos to you.

37:03You are so hard.

37:04Thank you, chef.

37:05Tonight, chef Martha and I had a tough decision to make.

37:11And two of you are going to be eliminated.

37:15In the flambe challenge between Julia and Ronnie, we have our winner.

37:24Chef Julia.

37:36You will rejoin the competition.

37:39Thank you, chefs.

37:40Chef Ronnie, you chose mezcal.

37:43That flavor almost felt like it was a mismatch.

37:46The cauliflower, the meat, the sauce.

37:49The ingredients were not talking to each other.

37:51Chef Ronnie, unfortunately, this means that you are out from yes, chef.

37:59Yeah.

38:02I definitely didn't fully believe myself.

38:07But these chefs did.

38:14Still do.

38:15Still do.

38:16Still do.

38:17I love you, too.

38:21That's enough for me.

38:23Chef Ronnie, you came to this show not fully secure of who you are as a chef.

38:29But slowly, week after week, your fellow chefs here, they end calling you the professor.

38:36They listen to your wisdom.

38:38We are so proud of you for that.

38:40Thank you, Ronnie.

38:42And now for the grilling challenge between Chef Petrina and Chef Christopher.

38:48The winner is...

38:51Chef Petrina.

38:58Two of our group just got wiped out, and this competition has definitely just changed.

39:10Congratulations, Chef Petrina.

39:12Not what I was expecting.

39:14But at the end of the day, everybody's going home, except for one.

39:18You might be looking at her.

39:19And I'm sorry, Chris, but you are also out of the competition.

39:23The risotto was a little underdone and inconsistent.

39:30The sauce, I know you know you can make it better.

39:33The different components were not won.

39:36They were not showing the Chef Christopher we know.

39:39Well, I won.

39:45I didn't win the grand prize.

39:47But I won something that you can't put a price tag on.

39:51I won family.

39:53Between me and these chefs, we have a bond.

39:56And my chapter here might be done.

39:59And my story has just begun.

40:03I'm leaving here with my head held high.

40:05I learned that I can take constructive criticism from another chef.

40:10Taking orders from a chef that's half my age, without my ego getting in the way.

40:16Moving forward, I'm going to be a better person in the kitchen and in life.

40:20Only as good as the last dish we make.

40:24But the great news is that every day, we have the chance to cook again.

40:28Yeah.

40:29I'm just going to remind myself every single day of the things that are being spoken to me by other chefs.

40:37I will be trusting in myself more.

40:41Good night, guys.

40:42Good night, Chef.

40:44Good night, Chef.

40:45Oh.

40:47There you go.

40:48So, chefs, the kitchen is now closed.

40:53Yes, sir.

40:55Thank you, Chef.

40:56I made it through winning two dishes back to back.

41:00I can't.

41:01I can barely make it.

41:02I can't.

41:03Redemption feels amazing.

41:07Sorry, y'all.

41:08We're excited for you.

41:09But this was a very difficult one for us.

41:12We're all going through motions.

41:14We've just been through so much together.

41:16It's very strange to have somebody who's been through none of it come into our world.

41:22Do you want to go in the room?

41:23Sure.

41:24Right now, I feel as if everyone's shocked.

41:27And I'm a little worried on what that's going to mean for me.

41:32They did not expect to lose two people.

41:34No.

41:34Where do we go from here?

41:35Final four sitting at this table.

41:37Yep.

41:38Us four, we've been here since day one.

41:41We've put in the work it takes to stay here.

41:44So, love to Petrina, love to Julia.

41:46But this is the final four.

41:48I didn't expect it to go that way.

41:49And in my mind, it won't be going any further.
