Doctors, nurses,
all these people,

378

they're not thinking about
themselves, and their families.

379

They're just putting
the sick person first.

380
00:14:35,876 --> 00:14:37,709
That speaks volumes.

381
00:14:37,785 --> 00:14:40,036
We're turning

382
00:14:40,046 --> 00:14:43,715

World Central Kitchen.

383
00:14:43,791 --> 00:14:46,050
And you'll be making the meals

384
00:14:46,127 --> 00:14:49,545
for hardworking staff
at three local hospitals.

385
00:14:49,556 --> 00:14:51,964
You'll each have to make
65 portions of a dish

386
00:14:52,041 --> 00:14:53,883
that can be packed in
to-go containers.

387
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:55,894
So as World Central Kitchen
recommends,

388
00:14:55,970 --> 00:14:58,638
each dish should
consist of protein,

389
00:14:58,714 --> 00:15:00,014
vegetables,
and starch or grain.

390
00:15:01,050 --> 00:15:04,352
And with nurses and doctors
working at all hours,

391
00:15:04,428 --> 00:15:07,405
they need to be good
also when reheated.

392
00:15:07,482 --> 00:15:09,565
These are the people
that take care of us,

393

to begin prepping

397

to make sure you're up to code.

405

Why don't you guys
head to the stew room

406
00:15:40,089 --> 00:15:42,431
and suit up
while we stock the pantry

407
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:44,442
with a variety
of bulk ingredients,

408
00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:46,102
so you'll have enough
to cook with.

409
00:15:46,112 --> 00:15:47,904

Oh, you're working
as a team here.

Thank you very much, Shota.

Wow, this looks beautiful.

700
00:26:27,235 --> 00:26:28,752
Well,
let's start with you, Jamie.

701
00:26:28,829 --> 00:26:31,163
I made a kimchi tofu soup,

702
00:26:31,239 --> 00:26:32,497
bulgogi braised pork,

703
00:26:32,574 --> 00:26:35,334
eggplant and steamed rice
to soak up all the flavor.

704
00:26:35,410 --> 00:26:37,169
I love having kimchi
with my rice,

705
00:26:37,245 --> 00:26:38,879
so you eat it like a stew.

706
00:26:38,955 --> 00:26:40,672
Sara, tell us what you made.

707
00:26:40,749 --> 00:26:43,592
A falafel out of lentils,
a little bit of carrot

708
00:26:43,603 --> 00:26:45,510
and pumpkin seed
hummus-y thing,

709
00:26:45,587 --> 00:26:47,429
and flatbread
and a tomato salad.

710
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:49,890
- Did make this pita?
- I sure did.

711
00:26:49,966 --> 00:26:51,266
And you couldn't stay away
from the yogurt.

712
00:26:51,277 --> 00:26:52,610
- I love it.
- Stop it!

713
00:26:52,686 --> 00:26:53,894
I like that
you went vegetarian.

714
00:26:53,970 --> 00:26:55,437
What inspired you to do that?

715
00:26:55,448 --> 00:26:56,605
If you have to go
back to work,

716
00:26:56,616 --> 00:26:58,231
you don't want
a super big gut bomb.

717
00:26:58,308 --> 00:27:00,609
So, keep it light, but
super nutritious and filling.

718
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:02,444
- Awesome.
- Hi, Shota.

719
00:27:02,455 --> 00:27:04,905
I did miso-braised drumsticks
with sweet potatoes

720
00:27:04,981 --> 00:27:06,790
braised together,
cauliflower pickles

721
00:27:06,867 --> 00:27:09,627
and Napa cabbage cooked
with cashews and eggs.

Jamie's soup is delicious.

725
00:27:14,324 --> 00:27:17,793
It has the flavor that I was
hoping to get from this soup.

726
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:20,962
Putting the rice
with the eggplant, and pork,

727
00:27:20,973 --> 00:27:22,464
and then having
the soup separately

728
00:27:22,475 --> 00:27:24,299
so you can eat it
on its own,

729
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:26,644
she really thought through
how to package the dish.

730
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,387
The eggplant
is really flavorful.

731
00:27:28,463 --> 00:27:30,222
It's cooked nicely.

732
00:27:30,298 --> 00:27:31,815
Jamie really crushed
the braised meat here.

733
00:27:31,892 --> 00:27:34,151
It's not easy to pull off
in a couple of hours.

734
00:27:34,228 --> 00:27:36,311
I think there's
some good sour notes in here.

You've got this, Jamie.

736
00:27:37,898 --> 00:27:40,273
I think that Sara's pita

737

- is so damn good.
- It's so fluffy!

738

super flavorful, too.

862
00:31:58,942 --> 00:32:02,535
I made a achiote chicken
with a black bean sauce,

863
00:32:02,612 --> 00:32:05,246
a sweet corn tamale
and some green beans.

864
00:32:05,257 --> 00:32:07,090
I flash fried them
and then dressed them

865
00:32:07,167 --> 00:32:09,259
in a mixture
of salsa macha and XO.

866
00:32:09,336 --> 00:32:11,211
- Dawn.
- So, I made for you

867
00:32:11,287 --> 00:32:12,837
a tamarind-braised top sirloin

868
00:32:12,914 --> 00:32:15,548
with coconut rice grits
and a braised

869
00:32:15,625 --> 00:32:16,883
and seared cabbage wedge.

870
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,727
Thank you, chefs.

871
00:32:20,013 --> 00:32:22,940
Chris's chicken breast
was cooked immaculately.

872
00:32:23,016 --> 00:32:24,942
I mean, that's as good
as you can cook it.

873
00:32:25,018 --> 00:32:27,611
The thing that throws me
off was the lack of seasoning.

874
00:32:27,688 --> 00:32:30,230
He said he used habaneros.
I don't taste any habaneros.

875
00:32:30,306 --> 00:32:31,949
It's not seasoned at all.

876
00:32:32,025 --> 00:32:34,025
Chris did a great job
beautifully layering

877
00:32:34,102 --> 00:32:37,237
the gratin,
but it's not cooked enough.

878
00:32:37,313 --> 00:32:38,780
How'd it go, buddy?

879
00:32:38,791 --> 00:32:39,948
Mentally, physically,
it's just...

880
00:32:39,959 --> 00:32:41,574
I'm ----ing tired.

881
00:32:41,651 --> 00:32:43,284
Gabe's chicken tamale
has a ton of flavor.

882
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:44,911
Everything has flavor here.

883
00:32:44,988 --> 00:32:47,130
But I gotta say, the chicken
is a little on the dry side.

884
00:32:47,207 --> 00:32:49,874
There's so many different
competing flavors.

885
00:32:49,951 --> 00:32:52,302
I wanted there
to be more of a focus.

886
00:32:52,379 --> 00:32:54,546
It's, like,
beautifully presented.

887
00:32:54,622 --> 00:32:56,715
It think it actually
carries really well.

888
00:32:56,791 --> 00:32:58,141

- Heh-heh.

889
00:32:58,218 --> 00:33:01,144
- Yeah. You never know.
- I don't know.

890
00:33:01,221 --> 00:33:02,595
Dawn's meat
is super flavorful.

891
00:33:02,672 --> 00:33:04,147
She does not lack
on the flavor.

892
00:33:04,224 --> 00:33:05,724
She pulled it off.

893
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,101
She was really brave
in giving us a quarter head

894
00:33:08,178 --> 00:33:09,811
of braised and grilled cabbage.

895
00:33:09,822 --> 00:33:11,229
The seasoning was really nice.

896
00:33:11,306 --> 00:33:12,656
I think that was a bold move.

What about Avishar's dish?

What I love about
Indian-inspired food

920

is the spice
and the intensity of flavor,

921

lacked in any of that.

the tomatillo gave it

a really nice acidity to it.

When we asked you, like,

1069
00:39:23,553 --> 00:39:25,019
what did you season
the chicken with,

1070
00:39:25,030 --> 00:39:27,146
you were like,
"Habanero peppers."

1071
00:39:27,223 --> 00:39:29,273
We didn't get
any habanero flavor in there.

What's surprised me was

1081
00:39:48,536 --> 00:39:51,337
the utter lack of flavor.

1082
00:39:51,414 --> 00:39:53,223
What spices did you use?

1083
00:39:53,299 --> 00:39:55,174
I used cinnamon,
clove, cardamom.

1084
00:39:55,251 --> 00:39:56,634
I put the whole
spices in first.

1085
00:39:56,711 --> 00:39:59,470
I then added some stock,
and then the beef.

1086
00:39:59,547 --> 00:40:01,398
So you know browning
the meat helps the seasoning

1087
00:40:01,474 --> 00:40:04,234
- stick to the meat as well?
- I will do that next time.

1088
00:40:04,310 --> 00:40:06,736
I think what happened--because
you didn't sear the beef,

1089
00:40:06,813 --> 00:40:09,355
the flavor
that I got was very bloody.

1090
00:40:09,432 --> 00:40:11,232
- Okay.
- This is going to be

1091
00:40:11,243 --> 00:40:13,234

a raw flour tortilla...

someone home today.

It's not that difficult
to send someone home

and they all made them.

1104
00:40:37,793 --> 00:40:40,270
You know, Maria had one
of the best bites of the night,

1105
00:40:40,346 --> 00:40:42,439
until I had my second bite
and then it was raw.

1106
00:40:42,515 --> 00:40:44,607
That tortilla was not good.

1107
00:40:44,684 --> 00:40:46,350
You know,
at least with Maria,

1108
00:40:46,427 --> 00:40:49,687
I really did feel that
her stew was delicious.

1109
00:40:49,764 --> 00:40:51,739
So did I. I will go
back to it with pleasure.

1110
00:40:53,118 --> 00:40:56,119
I'm really,
honestly having a hard time

1111
00:40:56,196 --> 00:40:58,362
between Avishar and Chris,
because,

1112
00:40:58,439 --> 00:41:01,199
in a way, they both
suffered from the same problem.

1113
00:41:01,275 --> 00:41:02,742
Avishar--
the beef wasn't seared.

1114
00:41:02,818 --> 00:41:04,627
I don't think the beef
was seasoned either.

1115
00:41:04,704 --> 00:41:07,797
How do you take
cumin and cardamom and clove

1116
00:41:07,874 --> 00:41:09,132

his chicken
was properly cooked,

1120
00:41:16,666 --> 00:41:18,633
but it was so tasteless.

1121
00:41:18,643 --> 00:41:22,720
Nothing that Chris makes
has any seasoning in it.
