Sorry guys, Hell’s Kitchen is closed for a special event: A high school reunion.
The day’s challenge was to ask the reunion committee what they would like on the menu and the theme. They wanted a Hawaiian theme-or, according to the red team’s liaison, Elizabeth, Asian because the cuisines are “very similar.” She also neglects the fact that one of the committee members is a Presbyterian (no meat whatsoever).
Paul for the blue team actually got the right information. How anyone can confuse Hawaiian with Asian is a mind boggling and how can you forget that one of your judges can’t eat meat and put bacon in a sauce for one of your dishes?
Because of these mistakes, the blue team has a clean sweep and enjoys a day on a yacht, while the red needs to clean and set up the dining room. Once again, Elise is doing nothing but standing around. No wonder the red team hates her.
Back on the yacht, five guys, one girl in a Jacuzzi sounds like a bad porno setting. Well, it almost turns into that back at the dorm when Natalie is so drunk that the guys are start taking provocative pictures of her standing in the dorm’s pond.
Before dinner service, the red team needed to make a three-layer cake. It turned out to be a disaster. Carrie gets lip again from Elise because she said that they should be serious about making the cake. Elise really should calm down and not take things personally. When Ramsey sees the finished cake, he says it looks like “a Mexican sombrero that somebody took a (crap) on.” The cake is thrown out.
At dinner service, Hell’s Kitchen is transformed into a luau with Hawaiian flowers, leis, and tikis. While the guests are having a good time, the red team still can’t communicate with each other. This starts with Carrie putting up appetizers before anyone else is ready. Not to mention she put cooked rice with fresh rice with Ramsey noticing. This is a mistake rookies make, not someone who goes on Hell’s Kitchen.
The blue team doesn’t fare well either. It starts with Paul undercooking a snapper and Monterray putting broccolini in a cold pan. After Paul undercooks another snapper, Ramsey decides to replace him with Monterray and Jonathan. That doesn’t help much when both of them together can’t even cook one snapper. Worst yet is that this snapper is for the committee table. Ramsey sends the entire blue team to the dorm and the red team one again has to pick up the slack.
The night ends with Hawaiian music, hula dancers and fire dancers performing for the guests.
Monterray, Paul, and Jonathan are called up for elimination. Monterray gets the boot.
How is any chef so thick to not get even the minutest details about the guest right? This is why the red team keeps losing: lack of communication. Elise’s outbursts are getting annoying and it’s a relief that Monterray is gone. It’s getting old to see the blue team win every challenge and the red team doing well at dinner service. With eleven chefs remaining, hopefully the competition could get that much closer.
You can bet that as we get closer to the end that we’ll see Elsie start a feud with another chef. This girl should just get a contract with the WWE instead of being a chef.
