Grabs your grills and your college football gear because the “Hell’s Kitchen†chefs are tailgating. Even though they have black jackets, their still poor cooking skills speak otherwise.
The chefs didn’t have much time to celebrate getting black jackets when Ramsay called them back downstairs. Ramsay informed the chefs that the next day they would go to a place that’s iconic in LA, there’s a large selection of food and people line up at six AM there. The chefs were guessing their entire time there. It turned out was a tailgate party.
This tailgate party was at “LA Memorial Coliseum†where “University of Southern California’s†football team plays. It was here that each chef had thirty minutes to grill a sandwich of their choice. The winning sandwich was decided by the tailgaters.
Jason made a pork belly sandwich, Scott a spicy mahi mahi Panini, Joy a grilled Philly cheesesteak (of course, the girl from Philly would make that,) Melanie a grilled mahi mahi, Rochelle a BLT and Kashia a grilled chicken.
Some things of note are Jason’s food went up in flames and he’s a Notre Dame fan. Good thing he didn’t tell anyone there or else those fans would’ve used that against him. Rochelle also had a dumb blonde moment when she was just talking to people standing in line for food. Ramsay had to tell her they were waiting for food.
The challenge ended in a tie for first between Jason and Scott. Their reward was lunch at “Saddle Peak Lodge.†Jason said the place looked like what he wants his home to be. Guns, antlers and animal heads on the wall. A rustic, hunting lodge type place. Both Scott and Jason also had a bit too much to drink.
The women on the other hand had to sort all the garbage at the tailgate party. Now, most people don’t know what people at large public events throw out. Some of the stuff these women found was just amazing. Diapers, a dead lobster (not cooked. Just dead) and bugs. It was about as disgusting as you can imagine. The women even tried to group hug Scott and Jason when they came back. That would’ve been nice to see.
The next day everyone was up and prepping- except Jason. He woke up late with a terrible hangover. He had to fight through that hangover for that night’s dinner service. His hangover headache wasn’t as bad as that night’s service.
Kashia started things off with bringing up one lobster tail instead of two. Kashia would later have a communication breakdown with Melanie when Melanie tried to bring up two lobster tails and Kashia said she would do it. Ramsay had to bring both into the pantry for a talk. Kashia would then bring up raw salmon. She still would not communicate and instead decide to flip out. Ramsay told Scott to help her. He also did not do well.
Scott had to refire two risottos because they were burned. Problem was he didn’t tell Ramsay that and Ramsay got really irate that Scott didn’t tell him. While helping Kashia he brought up a raw halibut. He would then bring up three more that are raw. This was then followed by him talking back at Ramsay. What’s ‘Hell’s Kitchen†rule number one? Never talk back to Chef Gordon Ramsay. That’s pretty the most important rule and Scott broke it.
The only other chef to get heat was Rochelle when she used a pairing knife to slice a chicken when her normal chef’s knife would not cut. Yes, it did come out mangled. Why didn’t she just use a different chef’s knife? There’s normally more than one in a kitchen like that.
All six chefs had to choose one person for elimination. They chose Kashia. Of course, Ramsay wanted to also talk with Scott. It looked like Scott was getting eliminated, but it was Kashia who did.
Even with black jackets these chefs still make the most basic mistakes. Now we’re starting to see who really belongs in the final two and Scott sure doesn’t look like it unless he pulls off some kind of miracle.
