1
00:00:03,403 --> 00:00:05,504
Popping bottles in the
Chopped kitchen, I love it.
2
00:00:05,506 --> 00:00:07,172
- Hi.
- [Ted] Looking for love?
3
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:09,108
You're very handsome.
This may be a good match.
4
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:11,076
[Ted] Look no further than
Chopped.
5
00:00:11,078 --> 00:00:12,378
Woo!
6
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:13,846
He's definitely my type
for sure.
7
00:00:13,848 --> 00:00:16,548
- You're looking handsome.
- Oh, thank you.
8
00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:19,451
We've set up singles
as blind date teammates.
9
00:00:19,453 --> 00:00:20,786
Woo!
10
00:00:20,788 --> 00:00:22,388
I think we made love
on this plate.
11
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:23,389
[Ted] Love is in the air.
12
00:00:23,391 --> 00:00:24,356
Am I blushing?
13
00:00:24,358 --> 00:00:25,324
[Ted] Or is it?
14
00:00:26,459 --> 00:00:28,227
- Whoa!
- Monogamy is boring.
15
00:00:28,229 --> 00:00:29,862
[man] What?
16
00:00:29,864 --> 00:00:31,697
Listen, please.
17
00:00:31,699 --> 00:00:35,367
Let's bring in the first pair
of blind date teammates.
18
00:00:35,369 --> 00:00:37,236
You're meeting them
at the same time
19
00:00:37,238 --> 00:00:39,204
they're meeting each other.
20
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:42,274
Here's Chef Brittney Brown
and Chef Sam Scott.
21
00:00:42,276 --> 00:00:43,876
I'm a private chef
22
00:00:43,878 --> 00:00:45,778
and I work with clients
from all around the world.
23
00:00:45,780 --> 00:00:48,180
So I'm always learning
new techniques and flavors.
24
00:00:48,182 --> 00:00:50,015
My interest outside
of the kitchen,
25
00:00:50,017 --> 00:00:51,417
going to the gym,
26
00:00:51,419 --> 00:00:53,786
going out to the park
with my dog Nala.
27
00:00:53,788 --> 00:00:57,556
I just need the perfect woman
and make my life complete.
28
00:00:57,558 --> 00:00:59,691
[Brittney] I'm a private chef
in Detroit, Michigan.
29
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:01,427
I've cooked for athletes,
politicians
30
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:02,928
and even the vice President.
31
00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:05,597
I'm cute, funny,
and hardworking.
32
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:06,999
My day better be able
to keep up with me in life
33
00:01:07,001 --> 00:01:08,233
and in the kitchen.
34
00:01:08,235 --> 00:01:09,635
- How you doing?
- Nice to meet you.
35
00:01:09,637 --> 00:01:11,070
- Chef Brittney.
- Nice to meet you too. Sam.
36
00:01:11,072 --> 00:01:12,604
[Brittney] Sam is so cute.
37
00:01:12,606 --> 00:01:14,440
He's definitely like my type
for sure.
38
00:01:14,442 --> 00:01:17,910
Britney's very attractive
but damn I hope she can cook.
39
00:01:17,912 --> 00:01:19,845
Our second blind dating duo,
40
00:01:19,847 --> 00:01:22,314
Chef Matthew Wasson
and Chef Brooke Baevsky.
41
00:01:22,316 --> 00:01:23,916
I am a private chef
42
00:01:23,918 --> 00:01:26,018
and I currently have
my own baking business.
43
00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:29,421
I definitely want someone
handsome and tall.
44
00:01:29,423 --> 00:01:31,990
Food Network, hook it up.
45
00:01:31,992 --> 00:01:33,459
[Matthew] Chef Matt Wasson
46
00:01:33,461 --> 00:01:34,927
coming at you live
from the kitchen.
47
00:01:34,929 --> 00:01:37,296
Being a 31-year-old single male
48
00:01:37,298 --> 00:01:38,964
in a big Italian family
49
00:01:38,966 --> 00:01:40,466
sort of test a lot
of people's patience
50
00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:41,967
especially my mom.
51
00:01:41,969 --> 00:01:44,169
Help him. Help him.
Get him a nice date.
52
00:01:44,171 --> 00:01:45,437
See what I have to deal with?
53
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:47,239
- Hi.
- How you doing. How are you?
54
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:48,807
When I first see
Brooke's blonde hair,
55
00:01:48,809 --> 00:01:50,642
I was just captivated,
Chopped did good.
56
00:01:50,644 --> 00:01:52,077
[Brooke]
When I look at Matthew
57
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:53,412
and I'm pleasantly surprised.
58
00:01:53,414 --> 00:01:56,615
He is... Can I say handsome?
59
00:01:56,617 --> 00:01:58,383
We've also fixed up
Chef Terence Harvey
60
00:01:58,385 --> 00:02:00,552
and Chef Camerron Dangerfield
61
00:02:02,322 --> 00:02:04,056
[Camerron]
I create globally inspired
62
00:02:04,058 --> 00:02:05,491
Southern comfort food.
63
00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:06,892
I was raised
by a Southern woman.
64
00:02:06,894 --> 00:02:09,561
I want to man
that is tall, strong,
65
00:02:09,563 --> 00:02:13,232
handsome, smart,
too Prince Charming.
66
00:02:13,234 --> 00:02:14,933
[Terence] I am a chef
in Brooklyn, New York.
67
00:02:14,935 --> 00:02:17,369
I do Southern
and African cuisine.
68
00:02:17,371 --> 00:02:19,471
Girl, I have tried
all the dating sites
69
00:02:19,473 --> 00:02:21,740
and now it's time for Chopped
to help me find love.
70
00:02:21,742 --> 00:02:23,175
- What's your name?
- Terence.
71
00:02:23,177 --> 00:02:24,743
- You're very handsome.
- Thank you.
72
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:26,678
[Camerron] I actually
do have butterflies.
73
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,881
This may be a good match.
74
00:02:28,883 --> 00:02:31,150
We've also fixed up
Chef Rachel Snyder
75
00:02:31,152 --> 00:02:32,551
and Chef Lee Jackson.
76
00:02:32,553 --> 00:02:33,819
[Lee] I'm a private chef.
77
00:02:33,821 --> 00:02:35,220
My cooking style
is American, French,
78
00:02:35,222 --> 00:02:37,723
and good old Southern cooking.
79
00:02:37,725 --> 00:02:39,458
In a partner, I'm looking
for someone who's Christian,
80
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:42,027
who believe in God, and
that's what I'm here to find.
81
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:43,729
Hey, Chopped, I'm Rachel.
82
00:02:43,731 --> 00:02:45,697
I'm a private chef
in New York City.
83
00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:48,467
I'm really involved with,
like, my church community.
84
00:02:48,469 --> 00:02:52,037
So it's definitely important
to me that someone in my life
85
00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:53,172
would share that same faith.
86
00:02:53,174 --> 00:02:54,473
Nice to meet you, Lee.
87
00:02:54,475 --> 00:02:55,741
Nice to meet you
[indistinct] come out.
88
00:02:55,743 --> 00:02:57,075
I see Rachel, I'm thinking,
89
00:02:57,077 --> 00:02:58,544
"Oh, wow.
Okay, she's beautiful.
90
00:02:58,546 --> 00:03:00,112
Let's hope
we can cook together."
91
00:03:00,114 --> 00:03:02,047
[Rachel]
I'm feeling a little nervous.
92
00:03:02,049 --> 00:03:06,451
This is the most high pressure
blind date I've ever been on.
93
00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:08,420
Ever been in a more cutthroat,
stressful date...
94
00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:09,488
What kind of cuisine
do you cook?
95
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:10,989
I've been doing it all.
96
00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:12,424
I can't wait to see
who the judges are.
97
00:03:12,426 --> 00:03:13,926
- Oh, no.
- [Ted] Hello, lovebirds.
98
00:03:13,928 --> 00:03:15,327
- [Camerron] Oh, hey.
- How are y'all doing?
99
00:03:15,329 --> 00:03:17,262
- You look good.
- Hi.
100
00:03:17,264 --> 00:03:20,566
We have set you up
with single strangers,
101
00:03:20,568 --> 00:03:22,201
but there are still
three rounds.
102
00:03:22,203 --> 00:03:24,303
If your dish doesn't cut it,
103
00:03:24,305 --> 00:03:25,971
you will both be chopped.
104
00:03:25,973 --> 00:03:27,472
- No.
- No. We're not...
105
00:03:27,474 --> 00:03:29,274
- We'll not be getting chopped.
- I'm not getting chopped.
106
00:03:29,276 --> 00:03:30,609
But first things first.
107
00:03:30,611 --> 00:03:32,644
What's inside these?
108
00:03:32,646 --> 00:03:33,645
[sighs]
109
00:03:33,647 --> 00:03:36,748
All right. You ready?
110
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:37,816
Open them up!
111
00:03:40,019 --> 00:03:41,086
Oh, I knew it.
I knew it.
112
00:03:41,088 --> 00:03:42,821
[Ted] And you got oysters.
113
00:03:42,823 --> 00:03:44,223
Very romantic.
114
00:03:44,225 --> 00:03:45,757
[Sam]
Super excited about oysters.
115
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:47,559
We all know it's a great date
aphrodisiac.
116
00:03:47,561 --> 00:03:49,127
[Ted] Artichoke hearts.
117
00:03:49,129 --> 00:03:50,596
[Sam] A little
artichoke heart, all right.
118
00:03:50,598 --> 00:03:52,564
Oh, we got some rose.
119
00:03:52,566 --> 00:03:54,199
[Ted] Sparkling rose.
120
00:03:54,201 --> 00:03:56,201
- Sparkling rose.
- Pop the bubbly.
121
00:03:56,203 --> 00:03:57,336
It's my type of party.
122
00:03:57,338 --> 00:03:58,637
[Ted] And creme brulee.
123
00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:00,806
- All right.
- I love creme brulee,
124
00:04:00,808 --> 00:04:02,608
but you don't see creme brulee
with oysters.
125
00:04:02,610 --> 00:04:03,875
How do you feel about
shucking oyster?
126
00:04:03,877 --> 00:04:05,010
- I'm good.
- I'm thinking
127
00:04:05,012 --> 00:04:06,511
we turn this into a sauce.
128
00:04:06,513 --> 00:04:08,413
20 minutes.
129
00:04:10,049 --> 00:04:11,817
Clock starts now.
130
00:04:11,819 --> 00:04:15,520
[upbeat music playing]
131
00:04:15,522 --> 00:04:16,888
[Terence]
We're doing the oyster.
132
00:04:16,890 --> 00:04:18,323
- I'm going to fry them.
- Okay.
133
00:04:18,325 --> 00:04:20,025
Well, if swiping right
gets you nowhere,
134
00:04:20,027 --> 00:04:21,760
turn to Chopped.
135
00:04:21,762 --> 00:04:23,462
This is different than
other Chopped challenges.
136
00:04:23,464 --> 00:04:25,330
We have these chefs
that need to impress us
137
00:04:25,332 --> 00:04:28,533
but they need to impress
their blind date as well.
138
00:04:28,535 --> 00:04:30,235
There's also an extra set
of hands,
139
00:04:30,237 --> 00:04:33,005
so I'm expecting some really,
really good dishes here.
140
00:04:33,007 --> 00:04:35,374
[Maneet]
There's so much excitement.
141
00:04:35,376 --> 00:04:39,211
You are seeing the hustle
of them being a chef.
142
00:04:40,713 --> 00:04:42,648
Poppin' bottles in the
Chopped kitchen. I love it.
143
00:04:42,650 --> 00:04:43,815
How you doing?
Are you good?
144
00:04:43,817 --> 00:04:45,217
I'm doing good.
I'm doing good.
145
00:04:45,219 --> 00:04:47,019
Camerron and I
have never cooked together
146
00:04:47,021 --> 00:04:50,589
but I really feel good about
the energy and the smile.
147
00:04:50,591 --> 00:04:52,958
[laughter]
148
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,793
[Terence] I love oysters.
149
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:57,029
So the first thing I do
is start shucking the oysters.
150
00:04:57,031 --> 00:04:58,430
We got it.
151
00:04:58,432 --> 00:04:59,998
I love a taco
152
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,867
and everybody loves
something fried,
153
00:05:01,869 --> 00:05:04,102
so we're making
a fried oyster taco
154
00:05:04,104 --> 00:05:06,705
with artichoke
and radicchio slaw.
155
00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:08,874
I know that there's
taco shells in the pantry,
156
00:05:08,876 --> 00:05:10,742
but I feel like
it will blow the Judges away
157
00:05:10,744 --> 00:05:14,346
to make an awesome corn shell.
158
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:15,681
I'm gonna shuck the oysters,
okay?
159
00:05:15,683 --> 00:05:17,683
Oysters are famed
to be aphrodisiac,
160
00:05:17,685 --> 00:05:18,950
but you've got to be
very careful
161
00:05:18,952 --> 00:05:20,552
when you're shucking.
162
00:05:20,554 --> 00:05:22,454
Because if you break the shell,
163
00:05:22,456 --> 00:05:24,089
then we are going to taste it.
164
00:05:24,091 --> 00:05:26,892
I would suggest actually
frying them.
165
00:05:26,894 --> 00:05:28,627
These oysters are not
making it easy right now.
166
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:30,796
[Brooke] I grew up
in a kosher home.
167
00:05:30,798 --> 00:05:34,499
So I'm like, "Oh, give the kosher
household girl the shellfish."
168
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:37,102
But we have the same crazy idea
169
00:05:37,104 --> 00:05:39,304
of doing an oyster schnitzel.
170
00:05:39,306 --> 00:05:41,073
Let's get a little more flavor
to the oysters.
171
00:05:41,075 --> 00:05:43,375
[Brooke] And we're gonna plate
these oysters
172
00:05:43,377 --> 00:05:46,011
with tzatziki sauce
and then Israeli salad
173
00:05:46,013 --> 00:05:48,080
and then Rose vinaigrette.
174
00:05:48,082 --> 00:05:50,549
I grew up making schnitzel
with my bubbe.
175
00:05:50,551 --> 00:05:53,185
And I grew up cooking
Sunday dinners with my nonna.
176
00:05:53,187 --> 00:05:54,453
You sure we to use this
in the basket,
177
00:05:54,455 --> 00:05:55,921
- we can't drink it?
- [laughs]
178
00:05:55,923 --> 00:05:57,422
[Matthew]
There's a 100% attraction.
179
00:05:57,424 --> 00:05:58,890
When I first saw her,
I was like, "Thank God."
180
00:05:58,892 --> 00:06:00,525
We got this. See?
181
00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:02,627
I would say if I could
not get Scott Conant,
182
00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:04,763
I am very happy with Matthew.
183
00:06:04,765 --> 00:06:07,499
We're good, we're good.
184
00:06:07,501 --> 00:06:09,735
Creme brulee, it's a wonderful
dessert to share
185
00:06:09,737 --> 00:06:11,970
because literally
one or two bites
186
00:06:11,972 --> 00:06:13,839
- is all you need.
- I agree.
187
00:06:13,841 --> 00:06:15,407
What's the plan with that sauce?
188
00:06:15,409 --> 00:06:17,509
I'm gonna add some peppers
to just balance out
189
00:06:17,511 --> 00:06:18,944
that creme brulee.
190
00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:21,279
Creme brulee has no business
in this basket.
191
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:22,280
Can I say that?
192
00:06:22,282 --> 00:06:24,516
[laughter]
193
00:06:24,518 --> 00:06:25,851
- [indistinct]
- [Sam laughs]
194
00:06:25,853 --> 00:06:28,153
[Brittney]
But I love artichokes.
195
00:06:28,155 --> 00:06:30,789
And I love them
in a cream sauce.
196
00:06:30,791 --> 00:06:32,924
We're making fried oysters
197
00:06:32,926 --> 00:06:35,594
with a artichoke
creme brulee sauce
198
00:06:35,596 --> 00:06:37,763
and rose mignonette.
199
00:06:37,765 --> 00:06:40,265
As we're working,
I'm very genuinely surprised
200
00:06:40,267 --> 00:06:42,434
at how well we're getting
along in the kitchen.
201
00:06:42,436 --> 00:06:43,935
Sauce looks good.
202
00:06:43,937 --> 00:06:46,738
Oh, yeah.
It's gonna be good.
203
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:48,673
This one? Perfect.
204
00:06:48,675 --> 00:06:50,942
[Rachel] I think the raw oyster
would be great on the plate.
205
00:06:50,944 --> 00:06:52,811
Lee says, let's do bake
206
00:06:52,813 --> 00:06:56,815
so we're gonna do one with
a sparkling rose mignonette.
207
00:06:56,817 --> 00:06:58,316
[Lee] And a big oyster
with creme brulee sauce
208
00:06:58,318 --> 00:06:59,851
and fresh herbs.
209
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:01,486
I took the lead
on shucking these oysters
210
00:07:01,488 --> 00:07:03,588
because, you know, a man
should be shucking oysters
211
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:05,557
and not a woman.
212
00:07:05,559 --> 00:07:07,359
Not saying they can't do it,
you know, but, you know,
213
00:07:07,361 --> 00:07:08,393
if you can take the lead
on that,
214
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:09,494
take the lead on that.
215
00:07:09,496 --> 00:07:10,529
Look at us.
Look at us.
216
00:07:10,531 --> 00:07:11,730
10 minutes to go, chefs.
217
00:07:11,732 --> 00:07:14,733
[upbeat music playing]
218
00:07:17,069 --> 00:07:20,005
You know I've always thought
that cooking together
219
00:07:20,007 --> 00:07:21,973
is a really excellent
first date.
220
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:23,008
I agree with you.
221
00:07:23,010 --> 00:07:24,576
There seems to be this bond
222
00:07:24,578 --> 00:07:26,711
where they're connecting over
what to cook.
223
00:07:26,713 --> 00:07:28,580
So I have the artichokes
in the slaw,
224
00:07:28,582 --> 00:07:30,549
I have radicchio in the slaw.
225
00:07:30,551 --> 00:07:34,152
I'm adding some fish sauce
and rose, some creme brulee.
226
00:07:34,154 --> 00:07:35,754
- Hey, Terence. Camerron.
- Yes.
227
00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:37,422
[Maneet] Are you guys
finding love in the kitchen?
228
00:07:37,424 --> 00:07:39,257
- Oh, we're finding great love.
- Yes.
229
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:42,394
Perfect.
230
00:07:42,396 --> 00:07:44,095
[Brooke]
I see this creme brulee
231
00:07:44,097 --> 00:07:46,031
and I think tzatziki sauce,
232
00:07:46,033 --> 00:07:48,467
so I combine Greek yogurt,
233
00:07:48,469 --> 00:07:51,403
dill parsley, the creme brulee.
234
00:07:51,405 --> 00:07:53,472
This seem like a creme brulee
tzatziki sauce.
235
00:07:53,474 --> 00:07:54,706
Is the vinaigrette ready?
236
00:07:54,708 --> 00:07:56,007
[Matthew]
This is reducing now?
237
00:07:56,009 --> 00:07:57,309
[Maneet]
I'm really loving the way
238
00:07:57,311 --> 00:07:59,811
Brooke and Matt
are working together.
239
00:07:59,813 --> 00:08:01,446
Are you guys finding love
in the kitchen?
240
00:08:01,448 --> 00:08:02,948
- I already found her.
- We are. We're in love.
241
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:04,416
[Matthew] I'm gonna call
my mom on the break.
242
00:08:04,418 --> 00:08:07,652
[laughter]
243
00:08:07,654 --> 00:08:09,154
So I shuck oysters
244
00:08:09,156 --> 00:08:12,090
and then I toss them
at cornmeal and flour
245
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:13,892
and then I throw them
in the fryer,
246
00:08:13,894 --> 00:08:15,894
then I fry it on here,
you feel me?
247
00:08:15,896 --> 00:08:17,395
I'm really looking for a partner
248
00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:18,497
that's driven and confident.
249
00:08:18,499 --> 00:08:20,031
Drive by.
250
00:08:20,033 --> 00:08:22,567
And Brittney, she seems
to fit that perfect mold.
251
00:08:22,569 --> 00:08:24,636
[Brittney] I'm gonna start
the mignonette.
252
00:08:24,638 --> 00:08:26,538
I feel like I'm ready
for a partner.
253
00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:28,373
But monogamy is boring.
254
00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:31,109
[chuckles] Sorry.
255
00:08:31,111 --> 00:08:33,478
[Sam]
How's that sauce tasting?
256
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,780
Ooh, love it.
257
00:08:35,782 --> 00:08:37,315
[indistinct] in that.
258
00:08:37,317 --> 00:08:38,650
[Rachel] The creme brulee
is kind of like
259
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:40,185
the oddball in the mix.
260
00:08:40,187 --> 00:08:42,787
But Lee says,
"Let's make a cream sauce."
261
00:08:42,789 --> 00:08:44,656
With the artichokes finished,
garlic,
262
00:08:44,658 --> 00:08:47,058
and the chemistry
is just rocking.
263
00:08:47,060 --> 00:08:48,727
Creme brulee. A little bit
of creme brulee in there.
264
00:08:48,729 --> 00:08:50,428
[Lee] I grew up
in a Christian household,
265
00:08:50,430 --> 00:08:52,397
so we connected with
our faith and everything.
266
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:53,632
[Rachel]
I'm also a Christian.
267
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:55,967
I did not think
I would find someone
268
00:08:55,969 --> 00:08:58,103
that shares the same values
on Chopped.
269
00:08:58,105 --> 00:09:01,339
- So, there we go.
- Yeah.
270
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,141
Less than five minutes to go,
chefs.
271
00:09:03,143 --> 00:09:06,177
[tense music playing]
272
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,348
So judges,
getting together on Chopped
273
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:13,385
really accelerates the
getting-to-know-you process.
274
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:15,153
Because these are all chefs,
275
00:09:15,155 --> 00:09:16,855
it's a great way to see
276
00:09:16,857 --> 00:09:18,623
if your future partner
can even cook.
277
00:09:18,625 --> 00:09:20,792
[Camerron] This'll smash it
to the perfect shell.
278
00:09:20,794 --> 00:09:23,295
So I've made a thousand
taco shells before
279
00:09:23,297 --> 00:09:25,864
but I don't have
a tortilla press.
280
00:09:25,866 --> 00:09:27,832
So I'm trying to flatten them.
281
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:31,703
They're tearing apart,
so I'm freaking out.
282
00:09:31,705 --> 00:09:33,505
I just wanna get these up.
283
00:09:33,507 --> 00:09:35,707
Terence and Camerron are
making their own tortillas.
284
00:09:35,709 --> 00:09:39,210
It doesn't seem to be working
out so great for him so far.
285
00:09:39,212 --> 00:09:41,146
My shells are failing us.
286
00:09:41,148 --> 00:09:43,148
If they do not get
their act together,
287
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:46,284
that will be the first team
that gets chopped.
288
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:48,019
- Let me know if you need help.
- [Terence] Thank you.
289
00:09:55,828 --> 00:09:58,063
[tense music playing]
290
00:09:58,065 --> 00:10:00,432
So I've made a thousand taco
shells before
291
00:10:00,434 --> 00:10:02,000
but they are tearing apart.
292
00:10:02,002 --> 00:10:03,902
My shells are failing us.
293
00:10:03,904 --> 00:10:05,236
Get it together, Cam.
294
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:06,771
All I have to do is reroll them
295
00:10:06,773 --> 00:10:08,506
and I'm literally
hand-pressing them now
296
00:10:08,508 --> 00:10:10,775
and getting them right
in the pan.
297
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:13,044
This one is actually perfect.
298
00:10:13,046 --> 00:10:14,846
I can rely on my hands.
299
00:10:14,848 --> 00:10:17,282
[Camerron] I'm relieved
they're flattening out.
300
00:10:17,284 --> 00:10:19,584
All right, chefs,
you got less than two minutes.
301
00:10:19,586 --> 00:10:24,556
Gotta get it on the plate.
302
00:10:24,558 --> 00:10:26,358
[Brooke] I'm thinking
we need brightness
303
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,792
for our Israeli salad.
304
00:10:27,794 --> 00:10:30,528
So I grabbed some tomatoes,
herbs.
305
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:31,730
[Matthew]
The artichoke hearts.
306
00:10:31,732 --> 00:10:33,598
I know roasting them in the pan
307
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,000
will help complement
Brooke's salad.
308
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:36,701
Perfect.
And we need the dressing
309
00:10:36,703 --> 00:10:39,037
and I still have
the sparkling rose reduction
310
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:40,372
and I went right
for the red wine vinegar.
311
00:10:40,374 --> 00:10:41,539
This is a date,
so you got to tell me,
312
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:42,841
if my hair doesn't look good,
313
00:10:42,843 --> 00:10:44,342
you gotta let me know,
all right?
314
00:10:44,344 --> 00:10:45,977
- You're looking handsome.
- Oh, thank you.
315
00:10:45,979 --> 00:10:48,113
See how good
she treats me already?
316
00:10:48,115 --> 00:10:49,280
[Brittney]
To make the mignonette,
317
00:10:49,282 --> 00:10:50,782
I dice the shallot,
318
00:10:50,784 --> 00:10:53,218
add a little pepper and sugar
and some chives,
319
00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:55,587
and red wine vinegar.
320
00:10:55,589 --> 00:10:57,288
One minute left, chefs.
321
00:10:57,290 --> 00:11:00,325
[tense music playing]
322
00:11:01,994 --> 00:11:04,095
We want you guys to fall in love
323
00:11:04,097 --> 00:11:06,064
but we want to fall in love
with your food too.
324
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:07,131
Baking still.
325
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:08,466
[Rachel] The oysters are still
in the oven.
326
00:11:08,468 --> 00:11:09,467
Yeah. Perfect.
327
00:11:09,469 --> 00:11:10,568
Lee's like,
"I got it. I got it."
328
00:11:10,570 --> 00:11:12,103
And I was like, "All right.
I'm gonna trust him."
329
00:11:12,105 --> 00:11:14,305
Yeah. Let's pull them out.
330
00:11:14,307 --> 00:11:16,474
We're being teammates and just
communicating is getting it done.
331
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:17,776
Oh.
This is actually pretty good.
332
00:11:17,778 --> 00:11:19,477
I think we made love
on this plate.
333
00:11:19,479 --> 00:11:21,279
Let's go, chefs.
Get it done, get it done.
334
00:11:21,281 --> 00:11:24,182
Pull those plates together now.
335
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:25,617
- Ten...
- [Maneet] Come on.
336
00:11:25,619 --> 00:11:27,652
- [Ted] ...nine, eight...
- [Brooke] Perfect.
337
00:11:27,654 --> 00:11:29,587
- [Ted] ...seven, six...
- Beautiful. Beautiful.
338
00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:32,657
five, four, three...
339
00:11:32,659 --> 00:11:34,726
- Come on. Come on.
- [Ted] ...two, one.
340
00:11:34,728 --> 00:11:36,695
- Time's up.
- Nice.
341
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:40,565
Oh, they got hugs over there.
342
00:11:40,567 --> 00:11:43,835
- Aw.
- All right.
343
00:11:43,837 --> 00:11:45,503
I think we did...
I think we did good.
344
00:11:45,505 --> 00:11:47,472
Oh, baby, you see
we're the couple to beat.
345
00:11:47,474 --> 00:11:51,242
Baby, if I go home after that,
somebody got no taste buds.
346
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:52,644
- Cheers. Drink up.
- Cheers.
347
00:11:52,646 --> 00:11:54,312
[Matthew] Right now we're
drinking rose while on the beach.
348
00:11:54,314 --> 00:11:55,647
We're not even
in Chopped kitchen.
349
00:11:55,649 --> 00:11:56,715
That's the second date.
350
00:11:56,717 --> 00:11:58,483
Oh, second date. Okay.
351
00:11:58,485 --> 00:12:00,085
- Good round. Good round.
- Woo!
352
00:12:00,087 --> 00:12:01,753
[Rachel]
We got the Spirit with us.
353
00:12:01,755 --> 00:12:03,354
[Lee] Yeah. We got the Lord.
I know we have Jesus.
354
00:12:03,356 --> 00:12:04,723
I'm not worried about that.
We got this.
355
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:06,257
We're taking this home, okay?
356
00:12:10,696 --> 00:12:12,497
Chefs, we introduced you
357
00:12:12,499 --> 00:12:15,366
and then put you right to work
on a basket of oysters,
358
00:12:15,368 --> 00:12:16,735
artichoke hearts,
359
00:12:16,737 --> 00:12:19,537
sparkling rose and creme brulee.
360
00:12:19,539 --> 00:12:20,905
Brooke and Matthew,
361
00:12:20,907 --> 00:12:22,307
could you please tell us
about your plate?
362
00:12:22,309 --> 00:12:24,109
[Rachel]
You have an oyster schnitzel
363
00:12:24,111 --> 00:12:28,513
on top of a Greek yogurt
creme brulee tzatziki sauce,
364
00:12:28,515 --> 00:12:30,749
and then the Greek salad.
365
00:12:30,751 --> 00:12:32,016
Enjoy.
366
00:12:32,018 --> 00:12:34,152
I like the direction here a lot.
367
00:12:34,154 --> 00:12:35,820
I mean it's light.
It's refreshing.
368
00:12:35,822 --> 00:12:38,356
I think the tzatziki
is delicious.
369
00:12:38,358 --> 00:12:40,692
I think the texture
on the oysters is great.
370
00:12:40,694 --> 00:12:41,760
Thank you.
371
00:12:41,762 --> 00:12:43,595
Tzatziki is such a smart idea
372
00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:45,230
for the utilization
of the creme brulee.
373
00:12:45,232 --> 00:12:47,232
The tartness,
it cuts through the sweetness,
374
00:12:47,234 --> 00:12:49,968
but the one thing about a salad,
375
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:51,569
the cucumbers and the tomatoes,
376
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:53,471
they are different sizes.
377
00:12:53,473 --> 00:12:58,209
I mean the knife work really
needs work right over here.
378
00:12:58,211 --> 00:13:00,245
So I guess
I'm gonna have to ask,
379
00:13:00,247 --> 00:13:01,980
who did all the knife work?
380
00:13:01,982 --> 00:13:03,481
I did the knife work
on the salad.
381
00:13:03,483 --> 00:13:05,083
[Marc] Uh-oh.
382
00:13:05,085 --> 00:13:06,918
Are you upset?
383
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,219
I'm not upset.
It's okay.
384
00:13:08,221 --> 00:13:09,621
He's already forgiving.
385
00:13:09,623 --> 00:13:11,289
Aw.
386
00:13:11,291 --> 00:13:13,424
[Ted] Brooke, where did your
love of cooking come from?
387
00:13:13,426 --> 00:13:15,226
My love of cooking came
from my bubbe
388
00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:16,861
which is Yiddish for grandma.
389
00:13:16,863 --> 00:13:18,630
She passed down her recipes
to me.
390
00:13:18,632 --> 00:13:20,865
So that was something that
we bonded off right away,
391
00:13:20,867 --> 00:13:22,801
even though she's Jewish,
I'm Italian.
392
00:13:22,803 --> 00:13:25,436
The only difference though
with her nonna, with her...
393
00:13:25,438 --> 00:13:26,538
I'm sorry, bubbe? And then...
394
00:13:26,540 --> 00:13:27,972
- Bubbe.
- Bubbe.
395
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:29,440
And then my nonna...
my nonna is probably
396
00:13:29,442 --> 00:13:30,775
hitting me
with a wooden spoon right now.
397
00:13:30,777 --> 00:13:32,477
[laughter]
398
00:13:32,479 --> 00:13:33,611
[Ted]
Matthew, Brooke, thank you.
399
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:34,979
- Thank you, Chef.
- Yeah.
400
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:36,447
[Ted] Next up,
Terence and Camerron.
401
00:13:36,449 --> 00:13:38,983
Okay. So we have made
a fried oyster taco
402
00:13:38,985 --> 00:13:40,652
with artichoke
and radicchio slaw.
403
00:13:40,654 --> 00:13:43,121
We've made the coleslaw
with creme brulee,
404
00:13:43,123 --> 00:13:45,657
some rose, fish sauce,
chili garlic.
405
00:13:45,659 --> 00:13:47,091
That spice mixture that you have
406
00:13:47,093 --> 00:13:50,195
inside that slaw is bananas.
407
00:13:50,197 --> 00:13:52,263
Just spectacular.
408
00:13:52,265 --> 00:13:53,598
Thank you, sir.
409
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,866
[Maneet] This is a great idea.
410
00:13:54,868 --> 00:13:56,367
And the fact that you made
411
00:13:56,369 --> 00:13:58,102
the tortilla shells
from scratch,
412
00:13:58,104 --> 00:13:59,604
it's very ambitious.
413
00:13:59,606 --> 00:14:03,141
But the tortillas
could be slightly thinner.
414
00:14:03,143 --> 00:14:05,043
Because it overtakes the flavors
415
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:06,444
that you have on top of it.
416
00:14:06,446 --> 00:14:08,379
Okay.
417
00:14:08,381 --> 00:14:11,516
I agree it should be thinner
but I thought it tasted good.
418
00:14:11,518 --> 00:14:13,384
The mastas was
very, very flavorful.
419
00:14:13,386 --> 00:14:15,353
The artichokes I think
could've been represented
420
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:17,121
maybe a little bit more
in the slaw.
421
00:14:17,123 --> 00:14:18,890
But the actual slaw itself
wasn't delicious.
422
00:14:18,892 --> 00:14:20,658
Thank you.
423
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:23,361
Why is it important
for you guys to be doing this
424
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:25,563
and why is it important
to find true love?
425
00:14:25,565 --> 00:14:27,599
I think representation
is important
426
00:14:27,601 --> 00:14:29,868
because we represent
the LGBTQ community,
427
00:14:29,870 --> 00:14:31,603
African-American community,
428
00:14:31,605 --> 00:14:34,472
and I mean, love, you know,
who doesn't want love?
429
00:14:34,474 --> 00:14:36,040
Especially
when they look like him.
430
00:14:36,042 --> 00:14:37,675
[laughter]
431
00:14:37,677 --> 00:14:40,478
All right.
There it is.
432
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,779
Terence and Camerron, thank you.
433
00:14:41,781 --> 00:14:43,281
Rachel and Lee,
what have you made?
434
00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:45,850
So today we have raw oyster
435
00:14:45,852 --> 00:14:48,119
with a sparkling rose
mignonette.
436
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:50,989
We have a baked oyster with
a nice artichoke cream sauce
437
00:14:50,991 --> 00:14:52,690
and some fresh herbs.
438
00:14:52,692 --> 00:14:55,526
So how did
your collaboration work?
439
00:14:55,528 --> 00:14:57,262
We had a great time together.
440
00:14:57,264 --> 00:14:59,163
The competition was there and
we both are faith believer,
441
00:14:59,165 --> 00:15:00,932
God believers.
So it was awesome.
442
00:15:00,934 --> 00:15:03,434
- Like the chemistry was like perfect.
- It's great.
443
00:15:03,436 --> 00:15:05,904
I loved the baked oyster
that you made.
444
00:15:05,906 --> 00:15:08,773
You have cream and the creme
brulee mixture inside there.
445
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:11,175
- [Lee] Yes, sir.
- Really nice touch.
446
00:15:11,177 --> 00:15:14,112
I really love the way
you use the creme brulee.
447
00:15:14,114 --> 00:15:15,613
There's a little bit
of sweetness
448
00:15:15,615 --> 00:15:17,782
but there is this savoriness
to the sauce
449
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:20,184
which I think works
very, very well.
450
00:15:20,186 --> 00:15:23,121
Now which one of you shucked
the oysters?
451
00:15:23,123 --> 00:15:25,256
[tense music playing]
452
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:26,824
I did.
453
00:15:30,095 --> 00:15:32,530
Uh-oh.
454
00:15:32,532 --> 00:15:35,366
I actually had shells
in both these
455
00:15:35,368 --> 00:15:40,204
and that kind of hinders
the entire flavor of the dish.
456
00:15:40,206 --> 00:15:41,906
That being set aside,
457
00:15:41,908 --> 00:15:44,175
the mignonette is refreshing
and delicious.
458
00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:46,611
I think it worked out...
it worked out nicely.
459
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:47,712
[Ted]
Rachel, Lee, thank you.
460
00:15:47,714 --> 00:15:48,980
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
461
00:15:48,982 --> 00:15:50,581
Okay.
Going to Brittney and Sam.
462
00:15:50,583 --> 00:15:52,884
So we did a fried oyster for you
463
00:15:52,886 --> 00:15:55,486
with a artichoke
creme brulee cream sauce
464
00:15:55,488 --> 00:15:57,155
and then in the hash over there
465
00:15:57,157 --> 00:16:00,258
is a rose mignonette.
466
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:01,659
I love the idea
of frying oysters,
467
00:16:01,661 --> 00:16:02,927
I think it's great.
468
00:16:02,929 --> 00:16:04,495
I think the cornmeal's
a good idea
469
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:06,264
but I would've cut it
with something else
470
00:16:06,266 --> 00:16:07,799
- because it's very...
- Coarse.
471
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:09,600
Coarse, exactly,
and very gritty.
472
00:16:09,602 --> 00:16:11,736
And the cream sauce...
473
00:16:11,738 --> 00:16:13,171
There's a lot of creme brulee
in here, I feel.
474
00:16:13,173 --> 00:16:15,974
- Yeah.
- [Marc] It's very sweet.
475
00:16:15,976 --> 00:16:17,275
[Maneet] I have to agree.
476
00:16:17,277 --> 00:16:18,977
It is slightly
on the sweeter side
477
00:16:18,979 --> 00:16:21,446
but I love the addition
of the capers
478
00:16:21,448 --> 00:16:24,849
and I think that was a great
utilization of the rose.
479
00:16:24,851 --> 00:16:28,820
With the fried oysters,
it works,
480
00:16:28,822 --> 00:16:31,022
then I dip it in the vinaigrette
481
00:16:31,024 --> 00:16:33,458
and then have that composed
bite, that really works.
482
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:34,859
[Scott]
Yeah, I agree with Maneet.
483
00:16:34,861 --> 00:16:36,694
I think you had
a really good approach here
484
00:16:36,696 --> 00:16:39,630
but I do think you could've
pulsed that cornmeal a touch
485
00:16:39,632 --> 00:16:40,832
just to break it down
a little bit.
486
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:41,966
All right.
487
00:16:41,968 --> 00:16:43,801
- Sam, is Brittney a good partner?
- Yeah. Awesome.
488
00:16:43,803 --> 00:16:45,803
[Ted] Brittney, is Sam were
to ask you out on a date,
489
00:16:45,805 --> 00:16:47,305
- would you consider it?
- Oh, absolutely.
490
00:16:47,307 --> 00:16:48,439
You guys know what you're doing
491
00:16:48,441 --> 00:16:50,074
as far as matchmaking.
492
00:16:50,076 --> 00:16:52,744
Really.
You guys can feel the sparks?
493
00:16:52,746 --> 00:16:55,346
- Oh, yeah. For sure.
- Yeah, it's a win.
494
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:57,148
- Well done.
- Good.
495
00:16:57,150 --> 00:16:59,283
- Brittney and Sam, thank you.
- Thank you.
496
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,488
[Ted] Just three pairs
will have the chance
497
00:17:03,490 --> 00:17:06,524
to get to know each other
better in the entree round.
498
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:08,760
The judges said our sauce
was a little bit sweet
499
00:17:08,762 --> 00:17:11,262
but the other chefs
had technical issues
500
00:17:11,264 --> 00:17:13,664
which was an issue
in your dishes.
501
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:16,467
The judges did ding us
for some knife cuts
502
00:17:16,469 --> 00:17:18,469
but we made a lot of positive
going for us.
503
00:17:18,471 --> 00:17:19,871
[Matthew]
I think we killed it.
504
00:17:19,873 --> 00:17:22,907
[tense music playing]
505
00:17:32,484 --> 00:17:36,054
So, whose dish
is on the chopping block?
506
00:17:37,823 --> 00:17:40,825
[suspenseful music playing]
507
00:17:46,965 --> 00:17:49,667
Chef Brittney and Chef Sam,
you've been chopped.
508
00:17:49,669 --> 00:17:51,235
Judges?
509
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:53,704
There were flashes
of brilliance in your dish
510
00:17:53,706 --> 00:17:57,975
but the sauce became too sweet
because of the creme brulee
511
00:17:57,977 --> 00:18:01,212
and the decision to use cornmeal
512
00:18:01,214 --> 00:18:04,849
to deep fry your oyster
was not the right one
513
00:18:04,851 --> 00:18:07,051
because it was too coarse.
514
00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:09,020
And so we have to chop you.
515
00:18:09,022 --> 00:18:11,556
- Thank you, Chefs.
- Thank you, Chef.
516
00:18:11,558 --> 00:18:14,158
So I think we had a little
bit more technical ability
517
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,860
than the other group of chefs
518
00:18:15,862 --> 00:18:18,162
but we took the critiques
and we're gonna run with it.
519
00:18:18,164 --> 00:18:19,497
I guess we're free now.
520
00:18:19,499 --> 00:18:20,731
You wanna go grab a drink?
521
00:18:20,733 --> 00:18:22,333
Absolutely.
[chuckles]
522
00:18:25,437 --> 00:18:28,840
[tense music playing]
523
00:18:28,842 --> 00:18:30,074
Chefs, are you still in gear?
524
00:18:30,076 --> 00:18:31,175
- Yes, Chef.
- Yes.
525
00:18:31,177 --> 00:18:32,176
- Yes, Chef.
- In gear.
526
00:18:32,178 --> 00:18:34,112
The baskets
will be the judge of that.
527
00:18:36,715 --> 00:18:38,416
Open them up.
528
00:18:38,418 --> 00:18:40,751
- Oh, wow.
- Oh. [chuckles]
529
00:18:40,753 --> 00:18:42,120
[Ted] And then
your core ingredients
530
00:18:42,122 --> 00:18:44,722
are sweetheart
prime rib-eye steaks.
531
00:18:44,724 --> 00:18:46,157
Oh, shaped in the shape
of a heart.
532
00:18:46,159 --> 00:18:47,558
[gasps]
533
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:48,759
[Ted] Asparagus.
534
00:18:48,761 --> 00:18:49,760
I love asparagus.
535
00:18:49,762 --> 00:18:51,496
[Ted] Truffle burrata.
536
00:18:51,498 --> 00:18:52,730
Oh, burrata?
Right. Here we go.
537
00:18:52,732 --> 00:18:53,965
Are these Lips?
538
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:56,134
[Ted] And spicy gummy
Lips candy.
539
00:18:56,136 --> 00:18:57,268
We love a spicy Lip.
540
00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:58,569
Do we love a spicy Lip?
541
00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:00,371
I've...
You have very spicy lips.
542
00:19:00,373 --> 00:19:01,772
- Oh.
- [laughs]
543
00:19:01,774 --> 00:19:03,474
I think definitely Bolognese.
Asparagus.
544
00:19:03,476 --> 00:19:05,209
I think we should puree it
and make it into a sauce.
545
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:06,477
Okay.
546
00:19:06,479 --> 00:19:07,812
[Ted]
30 minutes to work together
547
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:09,714
to make awesome main dishes.
548
00:19:09,716 --> 00:19:11,249
Clock starts now.
549
00:19:11,251 --> 00:19:13,784
- Woo-hoo! Go, chefs!
- Go get them, chefs! Nice.
550
00:19:13,786 --> 00:19:16,487
[man]
[indistinct] back in time.
551
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:18,956
I'm inspired because this
basket is gonna taste good.
552
00:19:18,958 --> 00:19:20,324
- I mean...
- [Scott] I certainly hope so.
553
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:21,792
[Marc]
What great ingredients?
554
00:19:21,794 --> 00:19:23,461
[Scott]
It's almost a simple basket.
555
00:19:23,463 --> 00:19:26,430
I feel like then the chefs
always get in their own way.
556
00:19:26,432 --> 00:19:29,300
What I expect
is proper technique here.
557
00:19:29,302 --> 00:19:32,270
Simple as that.
558
00:19:32,272 --> 00:19:34,272
[Terence] Sweetheart
prime rib-eye steak,
559
00:19:34,274 --> 00:19:36,807
we're just gonna get
nice grill marks on it.
560
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:39,310
Respect it because
it's a nice cut of meat.
561
00:19:39,312 --> 00:19:40,478
[Camerron]
We have Southern roots
562
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,113
and I know I could do grits.
563
00:19:42,115 --> 00:19:44,115
So we're making steak
and cheese grits
564
00:19:44,117 --> 00:19:45,816
with mint asparagus salad.
565
00:19:45,818 --> 00:19:47,151
So for the grits,
566
00:19:47,153 --> 00:19:48,886
I'm adding onion powder,
garlic powder,
567
00:19:48,888 --> 00:19:50,321
whole stick of butter.
568
00:19:50,323 --> 00:19:51,689
You're gonna do cream sauce
and grits.
569
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:53,224
- Yeah, it's...
- Yeah, okay. Sure.
570
00:19:53,226 --> 00:19:54,992
It is the cream sauce
that goes on top.
571
00:19:54,994 --> 00:19:57,595
So judges,
what can a competitor learn
572
00:19:57,597 --> 00:19:59,397
about a potential
romantic partner
573
00:19:59,399 --> 00:20:02,266
by being thrown together
into the fire like this?
574
00:20:02,268 --> 00:20:04,001
Whenever you're on
your first date,
575
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:06,137
you are on your best behavior,
576
00:20:06,139 --> 00:20:08,806
the Chopped kitchen
does not allow that.
577
00:20:08,808 --> 00:20:11,042
It's... This is a pressure
cooker right over here.
578
00:20:11,044 --> 00:20:12,743
Yes. Yes.
579
00:20:12,745 --> 00:20:14,579
The way to my heart is
definitely through my stomach,
580
00:20:14,581 --> 00:20:17,081
so you're killing it there.
581
00:20:17,083 --> 00:20:18,449
[Lee] I'm trying to think,
582
00:20:18,451 --> 00:20:20,384
"How can I incorporate
this candy,"
583
00:20:20,386 --> 00:20:23,421
and automatically my brain
goes to like a Bolognese salsa
584
00:20:23,423 --> 00:20:25,089
that I would make with nonna.
585
00:20:25,091 --> 00:20:27,225
And then I know everyone's
gonna grill that steak
586
00:20:27,227 --> 00:20:29,594
so I decided to cube up
the steak.
587
00:20:29,596 --> 00:20:31,996
- Feeling good?
- Oh, I'm feeling good.
588
00:20:31,998 --> 00:20:33,798
[Matthew] Brooke and I
are gonna make a braised beef
589
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,700
and a red wine tomato reduction
590
00:20:35,702 --> 00:20:39,103
and then asparagus
with burrata puree.
591
00:20:39,105 --> 00:20:41,205
I was just now watching
Matthew cut those steaks
592
00:20:41,207 --> 00:20:42,907
into itty-bitty pieces.
593
00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:46,310
I mean rib-eye is such
a beautiful piece of steak.
594
00:20:46,312 --> 00:20:48,312
It really shouldn't be played
around with too much.
595
00:20:48,314 --> 00:20:49,880
[Marc] Rachel and Lee,
596
00:20:49,882 --> 00:20:51,782
they connected over
their Christian faith.
597
00:20:51,784 --> 00:20:55,119
I'm putting faith into them
to cook that steak properly.
598
00:20:55,121 --> 00:20:56,687
- Ready to get it on?
- Yup.
599
00:20:56,689 --> 00:20:58,189
With this basket,
I think we can go
600
00:20:58,191 --> 00:20:59,890
on a really classical French
date night,
601
00:20:59,892 --> 00:21:01,525
you can baste your steak
with potatoes,
602
00:21:01,527 --> 00:21:04,362
reduce the spicy gummy salad
with sauce,
603
00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:06,998
bring it all together.
604
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,300
[Rachel] Lee and I are gonna
make a pan-seared steak
605
00:21:09,302 --> 00:21:12,103
with the truffle asparagus
and burrata.
606
00:21:12,105 --> 00:21:14,005
[Lee] I season the steak
with some Worcestershire,
607
00:21:14,007 --> 00:21:17,275
garlic, and some rosemary,
and thyme.
608
00:21:17,277 --> 00:21:19,176
How long till they go on?
609
00:21:19,178 --> 00:21:20,978
[Ted] 20 minutes
on the clock, chefs.
610
00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:25,182
[upbeat music playing]
611
00:21:25,184 --> 00:21:27,785
I'm gonna make a mint
and asparagus salad,
612
00:21:27,787 --> 00:21:29,654
dress it with fish sauce,
lime juice,
613
00:21:29,656 --> 00:21:31,889
maple syrup, and chili flake.
614
00:21:31,891 --> 00:21:34,191
I think what worked well
for us in the first round
615
00:21:34,193 --> 00:21:35,893
is communication.
616
00:21:35,895 --> 00:21:39,130
And I'm hoping to build upon
that more in the next.
617
00:21:39,132 --> 00:21:40,798
[Camerron] I'm like,
the sparks are flying,
618
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,199
it's like fireworks in the air.
619
00:21:42,201 --> 00:21:43,534
- That's delicious.
- Thank you.
620
00:21:43,536 --> 00:21:46,003
He's just charming me.
621
00:21:46,005 --> 00:21:47,338
I mean,
I'm using every single thing
622
00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:49,774
they got in the kitchen, okay?
623
00:21:49,776 --> 00:21:52,410
[Matthew] I blended garlic,
onions, carrots, celery,
624
00:21:52,412 --> 00:21:54,245
sauteed it down with the steak,
625
00:21:54,247 --> 00:21:56,380
a little bit of red wine
as well as some beef stock.
626
00:21:56,382 --> 00:21:58,182
And then I'm taking the candies
627
00:21:58,184 --> 00:22:00,951
and I'm pureeing them
with the whole peeled tomatoes
628
00:22:00,953 --> 00:22:03,220
to help smoothen out the sauce.
629
00:22:04,890 --> 00:22:06,624
[Rachel]
I threw the asparagus
630
00:22:06,626 --> 00:22:08,893
and then I throw it
in the oven to finish cooking
631
00:22:08,895 --> 00:22:10,261
and then we wanna make sure
632
00:22:10,263 --> 00:22:11,696
that there's a sauce
with the steak.
633
00:22:11,698 --> 00:22:13,397
- Red wine.
- [Lee] Red wine.
634
00:22:13,399 --> 00:22:16,167
We're adding demi-glace
balsamic vinegar
635
00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:18,936
along with the spicy
red gummy Lips.
636
00:22:18,938 --> 00:22:20,237
[Lee] Yeah.
637
00:22:20,239 --> 00:22:23,107
10 minutes to go chefs.
638
00:22:23,109 --> 00:22:24,575
The steak looks great.
639
00:22:24,577 --> 00:22:26,610
The last time we saw
some great cooperation
640
00:22:26,612 --> 00:22:28,846
between the two competitors,
now at the second round,
641
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:30,448
they've got to know each other
a little bit
642
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:32,850
and it seems like things
are working out well.
643
00:22:32,852 --> 00:22:36,520
[tense music playing]
644
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:39,256
With the Cajun cream sauce,
I'm reducing the gummy Lips,
645
00:22:39,258 --> 00:22:40,524
I taste it,
and I said, "Wow."
646
00:22:40,526 --> 00:22:41,692
Wow.
647
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,294
- Like literally, wow.
- Yeah.
648
00:22:43,296 --> 00:22:44,795
[Camerron] The judges
are gonna be blown away
649
00:22:44,797 --> 00:22:47,398
by how we transformed it.
650
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,500
This asparagus
is making my heart sing
651
00:22:49,502 --> 00:22:51,335
because I can puree it
652
00:22:51,337 --> 00:22:54,138
and this burrata will be
the perfect creamy factor
653
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:57,007
with onions and garlic,
sweet potato.
654
00:22:57,009 --> 00:22:58,476
[Matthew] Teamwork, teamwork,
we got this.
655
00:22:58,478 --> 00:23:00,311
We have a great rhythm going,
656
00:23:00,313 --> 00:23:02,113
full Chopped telepathy
at this point.
657
00:23:02,115 --> 00:23:03,147
[laughter]
658
00:23:03,149 --> 00:23:04,682
I think it's good.
659
00:23:04,684 --> 00:23:06,517
I love truffle burrata,
660
00:23:06,519 --> 00:23:09,754
our plan is to use
the sauce interior
661
00:23:09,756 --> 00:23:11,322
and drape it over the asparagus.
662
00:23:11,324 --> 00:23:12,923
Yeah.
663
00:23:12,925 --> 00:23:14,792
[Ted] All right, chefs,
you got less than two minutes,
664
00:23:14,794 --> 00:23:16,127
got to get it on the plate.
665
00:23:16,129 --> 00:23:19,263
[tense music playing]
666
00:23:19,265 --> 00:23:20,898
Oh, amazing.
667
00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:22,800
We'll do meat on one side,
salad on the other.
668
00:23:22,802 --> 00:23:24,335
And then pour the cream sauce
on top of the meat.
669
00:23:24,337 --> 00:23:25,603
Oh, I don't think you...
I don't think
670
00:23:25,605 --> 00:23:27,004
you're understanding the concept
671
00:23:27,006 --> 00:23:28,305
- of what I'm saying.
- Like in the plate.
672
00:23:28,307 --> 00:23:29,440
Salad right here,
meat right here.
673
00:23:29,442 --> 00:23:30,508
Not gonna work.
674
00:23:30,510 --> 00:23:32,343
Camerron is losing it.
675
00:23:32,345 --> 00:23:34,178
Please.
676
00:23:34,180 --> 00:23:36,280
They're like an old couple
already, the two of them.
677
00:23:36,282 --> 00:23:37,915
Let me show you.
678
00:23:37,917 --> 00:23:39,517
I'm just like fast-forward
to our future
679
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:41,118
and we can't even pick a place
for our wedding,
680
00:23:41,120 --> 00:23:42,620
I'm not actually sure
how far this is gonna go.
681
00:23:42,622 --> 00:23:44,321
Right,
we can't even get a plate.
682
00:23:44,323 --> 00:23:47,691
I'mma show you exactly
what I mean by salad on top.
683
00:23:47,693 --> 00:23:49,326
[Brooke]
Here, let me carry it to you.
684
00:23:49,328 --> 00:23:51,061
[Matthew] Perfect, thank you.
See you later, bae.
685
00:23:51,063 --> 00:23:52,062
The time.
686
00:23:52,064 --> 00:23:53,631
I think what's going on here
687
00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,166
is Matthew and Brooke
are getting along so well
688
00:23:55,168 --> 00:23:57,168
that they're already
making baby food.
689
00:23:57,170 --> 00:23:59,203
[laughter]
690
00:24:01,339 --> 00:24:02,640
Oh, my God.
691
00:24:02,642 --> 00:24:03,841
One minute left, chefs,
let's go!
692
00:24:03,843 --> 00:24:06,877
[tense music playing]
693
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,181
Come on, chefs!
694
00:24:10,183 --> 00:24:12,750
I have to get the steak
off the grill, on the plate,
695
00:24:12,752 --> 00:24:14,985
and I'm actually grabbing it
with my bare hands.
696
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:17,388
I'm like, "What the freak?"
697
00:24:17,390 --> 00:24:19,056
[Ted] All right, chefs,
we wanna see pretty,
698
00:24:19,058 --> 00:24:20,758
perfect plates.
699
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,194
- Ten, nine...
- Let's go!
700
00:24:23,196 --> 00:24:27,364
[Ted] ...eight, seven,
six, five, four...
701
00:24:27,366 --> 00:24:29,366
- All four ingredients.
- [Ted] ...three...
702
00:24:29,368 --> 00:24:31,969
- This color is...
- [Ted] ...two, one.
703
00:24:31,971 --> 00:24:33,971
Time's up.
Please step back.
704
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:35,973
Woo! Good job.
705
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:38,375
Woo! Yeah, we did it.
706
00:24:40,011 --> 00:24:43,881
We have the grits, protein,
sauteed veggies.
707
00:24:43,883 --> 00:24:46,016
That round was definitely crazy
708
00:24:46,018 --> 00:24:47,351
but I think we might be opening
709
00:24:47,353 --> 00:24:48,652
a restaurant after this,
I don't know.
710
00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:49,920
A hundred...
A hundred percent.
711
00:24:57,729 --> 00:25:01,765
[tense music playing]
712
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:04,435
Blind date teammates,
in your entree basket,
713
00:25:04,437 --> 00:25:07,104
you've got sweetheart
prime rib-eye steaks,
714
00:25:07,106 --> 00:25:09,673
asparagus, truffle burrata,
715
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:11,809
and spicy gummy Lips candy.
716
00:25:11,811 --> 00:25:13,143
Chefs Brooke and Matthew,
717
00:25:13,145 --> 00:25:14,545
please tell us
about your entree.
718
00:25:14,547 --> 00:25:17,314
So growing up on a Sunday
in my house
719
00:25:17,316 --> 00:25:19,149
we smelled gravy cooking.
720
00:25:19,151 --> 00:25:20,818
So you have a braised beef
721
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:22,520
and a red wine tomato reduction.
722
00:25:22,522 --> 00:25:24,622
And the rest is influenced
by my bubbe.
723
00:25:24,624 --> 00:25:26,824
She would make
really healthy purees,
724
00:25:26,826 --> 00:25:30,327
so we have an asparagus
sweet potato burrata puree
725
00:25:30,329 --> 00:25:34,131
and then an asparagus basil
pesto with some pistachios,
726
00:25:34,133 --> 00:25:35,966
and topped it all off
with fresh basil,
727
00:25:35,968 --> 00:25:38,636
lemon zest, Pecorino Romano.
728
00:25:38,638 --> 00:25:40,704
The sauce is delicious, right?
729
00:25:40,706 --> 00:25:42,206
I keep on feeling, you know,
730
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:44,508
the need to go back
and take another bite.
731
00:25:44,510 --> 00:25:48,412
And the puree works,
even the flavors in the pesto,
732
00:25:48,414 --> 00:25:49,947
they're dynamite.
733
00:25:49,949 --> 00:25:51,882
[Marc] I have to agree,
the sauce is very tasty.
734
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:53,784
It's just that
I don't think anybody
735
00:25:53,786 --> 00:25:56,420
would take a rib-eye like this
736
00:25:56,422 --> 00:25:59,290
and stew it in a tomato sauce.
737
00:25:59,292 --> 00:26:01,091
I mean, the meat feels tough.
738
00:26:01,093 --> 00:26:04,895
I also grew up with the smell
of that Sunday sauce,
739
00:26:04,897 --> 00:26:07,665
that sense of nostalgia is there
740
00:26:07,667 --> 00:26:09,433
but that's not the cut of meat
to do that with.
741
00:26:09,435 --> 00:26:10,568
[Matthew] Yes, Chef.
742
00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:11,602
But your flavors are wonderful.
743
00:26:11,604 --> 00:26:12,603
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
744
00:26:12,605 --> 00:26:13,737
- [Scott] They really are.
- Thank you.
745
00:26:13,739 --> 00:26:14,772
Brooke and Matthew, thank you.
746
00:26:14,774 --> 00:26:16,273
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
747
00:26:16,275 --> 00:26:17,775
Terence and Camerron,
what do you have for us?
748
00:26:17,777 --> 00:26:20,077
We did a steak and cheese grit,
749
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:23,514
with a Cajun cream sauce
and a mint asparagus salad.
750
00:26:23,516 --> 00:26:25,950
We used the spicy
gummy candy Lips
751
00:26:25,952 --> 00:26:29,153
in the Cajun cream sauce
which I think is brilliant.
752
00:26:29,155 --> 00:26:31,288
The grits over here
are delicious.
753
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:32,957
- Thank you.
- The Cajun sauce
754
00:26:32,959 --> 00:26:34,692
that's just got
the right amount of heat,
755
00:26:34,694 --> 00:26:35,893
I think that's great.
756
00:26:35,895 --> 00:26:37,394
And the asparagus,
757
00:26:37,396 --> 00:26:40,064
it's got cooked perfectly
so that works.
758
00:26:40,066 --> 00:26:44,368
The steak has been cooked well
759
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:46,070
but it's not been cut well.
760
00:26:46,072 --> 00:26:47,938
- Oh [bleep]
- You can't say that.
761
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:51,942
So basically what's happening
is this.
762
00:26:51,944 --> 00:26:53,611
- Yeah.
- You guys seem to be working
763
00:26:53,613 --> 00:26:55,346
really we'll together
except when Maneet mentioned
764
00:26:55,348 --> 00:26:57,081
that the steak wasn't cut well,
765
00:26:57,083 --> 00:26:59,016
somebody looked at the other
one going, "Mmm-hmm."
766
00:26:59,018 --> 00:27:00,484
Well, so we did have
767
00:27:00,486 --> 00:27:02,586
a little bit of trouble
in paradise, you know.
768
00:27:02,588 --> 00:27:05,022
This round was
a little bit psyche.
769
00:27:05,024 --> 00:27:07,324
However, you know,
we still cooked it well.
770
00:27:07,326 --> 00:27:09,827
I did cut the steak though.
I did cut the steak.
771
00:27:09,829 --> 00:27:12,129
Maneet's completely right,
we're talking $10,000 here.
772
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:13,497
- Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- We're looking for...
773
00:27:13,499 --> 00:27:14,932
We're looking for perfection.
774
00:27:14,934 --> 00:27:16,800
- We're looking for good stuff.
- Yeah.
775
00:27:16,802 --> 00:27:18,102
The good news is,
776
00:27:18,104 --> 00:27:19,436
all your components
are delicious,
777
00:27:19,438 --> 00:27:21,438
the steak is cooked perfectly,
778
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,474
it deserves to be highlighted.
779
00:27:23,476 --> 00:27:24,808
- Yes, Chef.
- Thank you.
780
00:27:24,810 --> 00:27:25,976
Terence and Camerron, thank you.
781
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:27,344
Thank you.
782
00:27:27,346 --> 00:27:29,113
All right, Lee and Rachel,
what do we have?
783
00:27:29,115 --> 00:27:31,081
We were thinking
classic date night.
784
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:33,283
So we made a pan-seared steak
785
00:27:33,285 --> 00:27:35,119
with rosemary, garlic potatoes,
786
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:37,321
and truffle burrata asparagus.
787
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:39,657
Finished it with a little bit
of red wine reduction sauce.
788
00:27:39,659 --> 00:27:41,759
We love meat and potatoes,
789
00:27:41,761 --> 00:27:44,128
and the potatoes are delicious.
790
00:27:44,130 --> 00:27:45,829
Thank you, Chef.
791
00:27:45,831 --> 00:27:48,232
They're caramelized
and the burrata was beautiful,
792
00:27:48,234 --> 00:27:49,533
overall, I love the approach.
793
00:27:49,535 --> 00:27:50,868
Yes, Chef.
794
00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:52,503
When you're cooking
with alcohol,
795
00:27:52,505 --> 00:27:54,738
you've got to cook it down
so it reduces.
796
00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:57,541
And the sauce,
it's what we call hot.
797
00:27:57,543 --> 00:28:00,411
There's still alcohol
and these rib-eyes,
798
00:28:00,413 --> 00:28:02,312
you've cooked it
a little bit too much.
799
00:28:02,314 --> 00:28:04,581
And you also now have given me
two of the ends
800
00:28:04,583 --> 00:28:06,750
- with all the fat on.
- Uh-huh.
801
00:28:06,752 --> 00:28:09,420
Mine is really overcooked.
802
00:28:09,422 --> 00:28:11,388
But the potatoes are delicious,
803
00:28:11,390 --> 00:28:12,589
there's some mushrooms in there.
804
00:28:12,591 --> 00:28:14,758
They're really good.
805
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:15,893
[Ted] Rachel and Lee, thank you.
806
00:28:15,895 --> 00:28:17,361
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
807
00:28:17,363 --> 00:28:19,163
[Ted] Okay.
We'll have a decision soon.
808
00:28:19,165 --> 00:28:20,364
Thank you, chefs.
809
00:28:20,366 --> 00:28:23,333
[dramatic music playing]
810
00:28:23,335 --> 00:28:24,735
[Brooke]
I think Rachel and Lee
811
00:28:24,737 --> 00:28:26,203
could be on the chopping block.
812
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:27,671
They keep it simple.
813
00:28:27,673 --> 00:28:30,708
You really need to perfect
the execution.
814
00:28:30,710 --> 00:28:32,176
[Matthew]
The judges weren't happy
815
00:28:32,178 --> 00:28:33,677
with how the steak was prepared.
816
00:28:33,679 --> 00:28:35,045
So I'm definitely
gonna owe Brooke
817
00:28:35,047 --> 00:28:36,180
a couple of drinks to apologize
818
00:28:36,182 --> 00:28:37,715
because that would be my mistake
819
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:39,550
that kind of took us down.
820
00:28:39,552 --> 00:28:41,218
[Rachel] I feeling
a little bit nervous.
821
00:28:41,220 --> 00:28:43,087
We botched steak
822
00:28:43,089 --> 00:28:45,089
but I would love another chance
823
00:28:45,091 --> 00:28:47,224
for Lee and I
to bring our skills together
824
00:28:47,226 --> 00:28:48,625
and show
what we've got for dessert.
825
00:28:48,627 --> 00:28:51,695
[tense music playing]
826
00:29:00,772 --> 00:29:04,007
So, and the dish
that's on the chopping block.
827
00:29:04,009 --> 00:29:07,044
[suspenseful music playing]
828
00:29:14,853 --> 00:29:17,354
[Ted] Chef Rachel, Chef Lee,
you've been chopped.
829
00:29:17,356 --> 00:29:18,922
Judges?
830
00:29:18,924 --> 00:29:21,792
Guys, unfortunately
the steak was tough
831
00:29:21,794 --> 00:29:23,994
and you really needed
to cook off the alcohol
832
00:29:23,996 --> 00:29:25,362
on that sauce.
833
00:29:25,364 --> 00:29:27,364
So unfortunately,
we had to chop you.
834
00:29:27,366 --> 00:29:28,665
Thank you, Chef.
835
00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:30,134
Well, it's definitely
a bummer to be chopped.
836
00:29:30,136 --> 00:29:31,535
- Yeah. Definitely.
- Yeah.
837
00:29:31,537 --> 00:29:33,570
[Rachel] But we had
such great chemistry.
838
00:29:33,572 --> 00:29:35,139
We had the chemistry,
839
00:29:35,141 --> 00:29:36,673
we both showed both
of our skills on the plate
840
00:29:36,675 --> 00:29:37,741
and that's all that matters.
841
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:43,514
[tense music playing]
842
00:29:43,516 --> 00:29:45,682
Terence and Camerron,
Brooke and Matthew,
843
00:29:45,684 --> 00:29:47,184
ordering dessert on a first date
844
00:29:47,186 --> 00:29:49,353
is usually a good sign
things are going well.
845
00:29:49,355 --> 00:29:52,156
Do you think cooking dessert
could also be romantic?
846
00:29:52,158 --> 00:29:53,557
Only if we get to share it, Ted.
847
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:55,325
That's a good one.
[laughs]
848
00:29:55,327 --> 00:29:57,060
Well, if he gets to lick
the chocolate off my finger,
849
00:29:57,062 --> 00:29:58,228
- I think that's pretty neat.
- Whoa!
850
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:00,564
- Whoa.
- [laughter]
851
00:30:00,566 --> 00:30:03,133
This is like Chopped
[indistinct] I'm not sure.
852
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:06,670
[tense music playing]
853
00:30:06,672 --> 00:30:08,872
[Ted] Open them up.
854
00:30:08,874 --> 00:30:11,308
Oh.
855
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:13,310
[Ted] And you've got
a conversation hearts
856
00:30:13,312 --> 00:30:14,378
pinata cake.
857
00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:15,679
- Be mine?
- Oh, this is...
858
00:30:15,681 --> 00:30:17,247
- Will you be mine?
- Yeah.
859
00:30:17,249 --> 00:30:18,715
So I ordered this for you
before I...
860
00:30:18,717 --> 00:30:21,351
- before I came here.
- Oh, thank you.
861
00:30:21,353 --> 00:30:22,753
[Ted] Matcha powder.
862
00:30:22,755 --> 00:30:24,188
Trying to get energized,
let's wake up.
863
00:30:24,190 --> 00:30:25,389
[Brooke] Matcha powder,
864
00:30:25,391 --> 00:30:26,757
this is totally my wheelhouse.
865
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:29,726
I absolutely love baking
with super foods.
866
00:30:29,728 --> 00:30:31,228
[Ted] Passion fruit.
867
00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:33,163
- [Camerron] Oh, wow.
- [Terrence] Passion fruit.
868
00:30:33,165 --> 00:30:34,264
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
869
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:36,133
[Ted] Chocolate mousse.
870
00:30:36,135 --> 00:30:37,801
This is passion fruit.
You ever eat it?
871
00:30:37,803 --> 00:30:39,203
- No.
- It's really good.
872
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:41,104
You want the matcha
with the chocolate?
873
00:30:41,106 --> 00:30:42,906
- [Brooke] Yeah, I think so.
- [Matthew] Okay. Perfect.
874
00:30:42,908 --> 00:30:44,074
30 minutes.
875
00:30:44,076 --> 00:30:46,210
- Chop this.
- You got this.
876
00:30:46,212 --> 00:30:47,578
Clock starts now.
877
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:49,246
- [Maneet] Woo-hoo!
- [Marc] Let's go, guys.
878
00:30:49,248 --> 00:30:51,281
- Go, go, go.
- That's it.
879
00:30:52,684 --> 00:30:55,052
- [indistinct]
- [metal clattering]
880
00:30:55,054 --> 00:30:56,253
Okay. Yeah.
It's one of those cakes.
881
00:30:56,255 --> 00:30:57,254
All right.
Here we go.
882
00:30:57,256 --> 00:30:58,322
Look at this.
883
00:30:58,324 --> 00:31:00,023
Judges, this date just got wild.
884
00:31:00,025 --> 00:31:01,625
It's a pinata cake.
885
00:31:01,627 --> 00:31:03,794
But having a cake
that's already made,
886
00:31:03,796 --> 00:31:06,330
it's always difficult
to incorporate into a dessert.
887
00:31:06,332 --> 00:31:07,931
Oh, man, this is messy. Okay.
888
00:31:07,933 --> 00:31:09,366
[Matthew]
I think that pinata cake
889
00:31:09,368 --> 00:31:10,734
lends itself to an ice cream.
890
00:31:10,736 --> 00:31:12,135
[Brooke] I think matcha
and chocolate.
891
00:31:12,137 --> 00:31:13,737
[Matthew]
Chocolate matcha ice cream.
892
00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:15,272
[Brooke] Matthew and I
are going to make
893
00:31:15,274 --> 00:31:16,740
chocolate mousse
pinata cake ice cream
894
00:31:16,742 --> 00:31:18,542
and a passion fruit
tahini sauce.
895
00:31:18,544 --> 00:31:20,043
Brooke and Matt,
896
00:31:20,045 --> 00:31:21,478
they've taken
all the different colors...
897
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,080
All the colors are in there.
898
00:31:23,082 --> 00:31:25,215
[Maneet] That color
is going to be interesting.
899
00:31:25,217 --> 00:31:27,651
Matthew, Chef,
what are you making?
900
00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:29,753
I'm making an ice cream that's
gonna remind me of a childhood.
901
00:31:29,755 --> 00:31:31,321
It's got a little bit
of everything in there.
902
00:31:31,323 --> 00:31:33,257
Yeah.
903
00:31:33,259 --> 00:31:35,425
While Matthew's working
on this ice cream,
904
00:31:35,427 --> 00:31:37,227
I'm thinking tahini sauce
905
00:31:37,229 --> 00:31:39,329
with some passion fruit
and strawberries
906
00:31:39,331 --> 00:31:41,798
that's gonna be great
on top of this ice cream
907
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:42,933
to counteract that sweetness.
908
00:31:42,935 --> 00:31:44,301
Ice cream in?
909
00:31:44,303 --> 00:31:45,636
[Matthew] Ice cream going in
right now.
910
00:31:47,672 --> 00:31:49,172
- I'm almost done with the dough.
- [Camerron] Okay.
911
00:31:49,174 --> 00:31:50,707
[Terence] You're making
whipped cream, right?
912
00:31:50,709 --> 00:31:52,276
[Camerron] Yeah.
913
00:31:52,278 --> 00:31:53,810
[Terence] We are making
a chocolate cream puff
914
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:55,178
with passion fruit coulis
915
00:31:55,180 --> 00:31:57,281
with the matcha
pinata cake dust.
916
00:31:57,283 --> 00:31:58,815
I'm making the pate a choux.
917
00:31:58,817 --> 00:32:01,118
I get the water, butter,
milk going
918
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,686
and then mix in flour.
919
00:32:02,688 --> 00:32:04,488
I never heard of a pate a choux.
920
00:32:04,490 --> 00:32:07,224
What is a pate a choux?
921
00:32:07,226 --> 00:32:09,192
While he's working
and perfecting the dough,
922
00:32:09,194 --> 00:32:11,662
I dig out the insides
of the passion fruit.
923
00:32:11,664 --> 00:32:12,863
The simple syrup.
924
00:32:12,865 --> 00:32:14,798
So I grab the sugar,
grab the water,
925
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,633
and I'm adding a bunch
of lemon zest and I'm tasting,
926
00:32:16,635 --> 00:32:18,035
- I'm like, "Wow."
- [Terence] Yeah.
927
00:32:18,037 --> 00:32:19,436
[Camerron]
I'm impressed by this.
928
00:32:19,438 --> 00:32:21,939
Oh wow, that tastes
absolutely amazing.
929
00:32:21,941 --> 00:32:23,840
[Marc] Passion fruits
are very tropical flavor.
930
00:32:23,842 --> 00:32:25,208
- [Ted] Tart.
- [Marc] Tart.
931
00:32:25,210 --> 00:32:26,376
It's got the little seeds
in there,
932
00:32:26,378 --> 00:32:27,811
they're a little crunchy.
933
00:32:27,813 --> 00:32:30,714
[Maneet] It is so fun
to just bite into.
934
00:32:30,716 --> 00:32:34,284
20 minutes on the clock, chefs.
935
00:32:34,286 --> 00:32:36,119
Oh, you guys got
the pizza dough?
936
00:32:36,121 --> 00:32:38,221
- No, we got it.
- Oh God. Perfect.
937
00:32:38,223 --> 00:32:39,690
[Matthew] Me and Brooke
had been eyeing down
938
00:32:39,692 --> 00:32:41,024
the pizza dough in the pantry.
939
00:32:41,026 --> 00:32:42,326
All right, so let's grab
that pizza dough
940
00:32:42,328 --> 00:32:44,761
and let's make some doughnuts.
941
00:32:44,763 --> 00:32:46,063
We got this.
We got this.
942
00:32:46,065 --> 00:32:47,297
I'm going with the doughnut now.
943
00:32:47,299 --> 00:32:49,466
- Are you ready?
- Yeah. All right.
944
00:32:51,703 --> 00:32:53,070
[Matthew]
You ain't using both.
945
00:32:53,072 --> 00:32:54,905
There's two things here,
you're good.
946
00:32:54,907 --> 00:32:56,773
I am going to go check out
what's going on.
947
00:32:56,775 --> 00:32:58,108
I'll be back.
948
00:32:58,110 --> 00:32:59,676
What's going on
in this fryer, guys?
949
00:32:59,678 --> 00:33:00,877
You're frying the pate a choux.
950
00:33:00,879 --> 00:33:02,012
I'm frying the pizza dough.
951
00:33:02,014 --> 00:33:03,213
I'm doing almost like
a zeppole, yeah.
952
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:04,915
There's a lot of stuff
going on in this little fryer.
953
00:33:04,917 --> 00:33:06,683
He might drop my temp
but we'll see what's up.
954
00:33:06,685 --> 00:33:08,352
[laughs]
955
00:33:08,354 --> 00:33:09,453
I'm annoyed with Matthew
956
00:33:09,455 --> 00:33:11,588
because he wants
to use the fryer
957
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:13,256
at the same time
I wanna use the fryer
958
00:33:13,258 --> 00:33:15,258
to fry his pizza dough.
959
00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:17,527
[Matthew] We have $10,000
on the line.
960
00:33:17,529 --> 00:33:18,762
I'm definitely
not gonna let these guys
961
00:33:18,764 --> 00:33:20,097
come to my house and bully me.
962
00:33:20,099 --> 00:33:21,531
- I'm so proud.
- Thank you.
963
00:33:21,533 --> 00:33:22,666
[laughter]
964
00:33:22,668 --> 00:33:24,267
[Ted] 10 minutes!
965
00:33:26,804 --> 00:33:29,873
[Brooke] So matcha powder is
a Japanese green tea powder.
966
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:32,209
It has a very strong
earthy flavor
967
00:33:32,211 --> 00:33:34,978
and I think pairing it
with toasted sesame seeds
968
00:33:34,980 --> 00:33:37,581
and sugar as a coating
for these doughnuts...
969
00:33:37,583 --> 00:33:39,249
When in doubt add sesame
seeds, that's a good one.
970
00:33:39,251 --> 00:33:40,450
[Matthew] Here we go, that's it.
971
00:33:40,452 --> 00:33:41,952
[tense music playing]
972
00:33:41,954 --> 00:33:43,487
- How you feeling, partner?
- I'm feeling good.
973
00:33:43,489 --> 00:33:45,022
- Feeling good?
- Yeah.
974
00:33:45,024 --> 00:33:46,690
Let me just make sure
everything is put in.
975
00:33:46,692 --> 00:33:48,358
You think we should put matcha
in the whipped cream?
976
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,359
I think that's good idea.
977
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:50,994
It's a great idea.
978
00:33:50,996 --> 00:33:52,529
I'm making the whipped cream
979
00:33:52,531 --> 00:33:54,765
and I'm thinking
this is the last round.
980
00:33:54,767 --> 00:33:56,400
The judges could use
a little booze.
981
00:33:56,402 --> 00:33:57,768
I can use a little booze,
982
00:33:57,770 --> 00:33:59,503
so, let's just douse
some booze in.
983
00:33:59,505 --> 00:34:01,304
They're probably like...
He just wanted to taste that.
984
00:34:01,306 --> 00:34:02,806
I really did, yeah,
I need a drink. [chuckles]
985
00:34:02,808 --> 00:34:05,976
[laughter]
986
00:34:05,978 --> 00:34:07,644
[Ted] Terence and Camerron
are having a ball.
987
00:34:07,646 --> 00:34:09,079
They're laughing,
they're telling jokes.
988
00:34:09,081 --> 00:34:11,114
We all feel that fun inside
the air.
989
00:34:11,116 --> 00:34:12,549
- [Marc] Yeah.
- [Scott] It's great.
990
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:14,151
And Matthew and Brooke
are over there giggling
991
00:34:14,153 --> 00:34:15,786
and laughing away as well
though, guys.
992
00:34:15,788 --> 00:34:17,154
That mean it seems to be a...
993
00:34:17,156 --> 00:34:19,289
It's a happy kitchen over here.
994
00:34:19,291 --> 00:34:20,857
Four minutes on the clock,
chefs.
995
00:34:20,859 --> 00:34:23,160
[Terence] Okay.
Pate a choux is about done.
996
00:34:23,162 --> 00:34:25,195
We're gonna fill it
with this cream.
997
00:34:25,197 --> 00:34:27,164
[Matthew] It passed me
to check on my ice cream.
998
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:28,231
It has to be perfect.
999
00:34:28,233 --> 00:34:29,566
And then I turn around
1000
00:34:29,568 --> 00:34:30,967
and there's Scott Conant
in right there.
1001
00:34:30,969 --> 00:34:32,469
Are you concerned
about this ice cream
1002
00:34:32,471 --> 00:34:34,271
that's still going on
over there?
1003
00:34:34,273 --> 00:34:36,073
[Matthew] Come check it out,
let's see what you think.
1004
00:34:36,075 --> 00:34:37,908
Just in case
that wasn't enough pressure
1005
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:39,242
being on a first date,
1006
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:40,977
it's even more pressure to have
1007
00:34:40,979 --> 00:34:43,046
an Italian culinary idol
right behind me like
1008
00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:44,214
"Hey, what's going on
over here?"
1009
00:34:44,216 --> 00:34:46,049
Whoa.
1010
00:34:46,051 --> 00:34:47,584
It's a little frozen.
1011
00:34:55,626 --> 00:34:58,161
[tense music playing]
1012
00:34:58,163 --> 00:34:59,463
[Matthew]
All right, let's see, Chef.
1013
00:34:59,465 --> 00:35:00,764
Let's see what you think.
1014
00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:01,998
It's a little frozen.
1015
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,400
You're concerned
about that color?
1016
00:35:03,402 --> 00:35:05,435
[Matthew] You know what? Beauty
is in the eye of the beholder, Chef.
1017
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:07,337
As long as it tastes good,
that's what we're here for.
1018
00:35:07,339 --> 00:35:09,272
- We're here to eat good.
- Well, that sounds good, man.
1019
00:35:09,274 --> 00:35:10,640
Sounds good.
Good luck, chef. Good luck.
1020
00:35:10,642 --> 00:35:12,142
Thank you, Chef.
Appreciate it.
1021
00:35:12,144 --> 00:35:14,311
He looks on everything
just like love,
1022
00:35:14,313 --> 00:35:15,946
you know, you have to see
the deeper meaning
1023
00:35:15,948 --> 00:35:20,383
to this ice cream
and then you get to taste it.
1024
00:35:20,385 --> 00:35:21,651
[Maneet] Less than a minute.
1025
00:35:21,653 --> 00:35:23,019
[Ted]
Less than a minute, chefs.
1026
00:35:23,021 --> 00:35:24,121
[Camerron]
Time is ticking down,
1027
00:35:24,188 --> 00:35:26,156
all I got to do is get
this filling in the bag.
1028
00:35:26,158 --> 00:35:28,992
I go to start filling
the cream puffs
1029
00:35:28,994 --> 00:35:30,927
with the tip
and the tip falls off.
1030
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:32,028
[gasps]
1031
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:35,665
- [bleep]
- [Camerron] The tip.
1032
00:35:35,667 --> 00:35:36,666
The tip.
1033
00:35:36,668 --> 00:35:37,968
[Marc] Let's go, chefs.
1034
00:35:37,970 --> 00:35:39,069
Come on, come on, chefs,
let's go!
1035
00:35:39,071 --> 00:35:41,371
$10,000 dessert, chef.
1036
00:35:41,373 --> 00:35:43,640
Let's get it done.
Let's get it done.
1037
00:35:43,642 --> 00:35:46,376
[Ted] Final seconds
of final round, chefs.
1038
00:35:46,378 --> 00:35:49,179
- Ten, nine, eight...
- Oh, my God.
1039
00:35:49,181 --> 00:35:50,847
- [Ted] ...Seven, six...
- Come on.
1040
00:35:50,849 --> 00:35:52,582
- [Maneet] Let's go, chefs.
- [Ted] ...five, four...
1041
00:35:52,584 --> 00:35:57,287
- [Marc] Let's go, chefs.
- [Ted] ...three, two, one.
1042
00:35:57,289 --> 00:35:58,655
- Time's up.
- [Marc] That's it.
1043
00:35:58,657 --> 00:36:01,491
- That's it. That's it.
- Say it again.
1044
00:36:01,493 --> 00:36:03,894
- That was good.
- [Camerron] Yeah.
1045
00:36:03,896 --> 00:36:05,462
Ready?
1046
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:08,965
So it was definitely intense
the last round
1047
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:10,033
but I think we killed it.
1048
00:36:10,035 --> 00:36:11,801
[Brooke]
I think this is $10,000.
1049
00:36:11,803 --> 00:36:12,869
I think it's be outstanding.
1050
00:36:12,871 --> 00:36:14,137
I'm feeling good.
1051
00:36:14,139 --> 00:36:15,472
Yeah, I feeling really good, so.
1052
00:36:15,474 --> 00:36:16,840
Confident, ready.
1053
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:21,244
[tense music playing]
1054
00:36:21,246 --> 00:36:23,747
Terence and Camerron,
Brooke and Matthew,
1055
00:36:23,749 --> 00:36:25,415
we asked you to make desserts
1056
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:27,484
using a conversation heart
and pinata cake,
1057
00:36:27,486 --> 00:36:29,753
passion fruit, matcha powder,
1058
00:36:29,755 --> 00:36:31,655
and chocolate mousse.
1059
00:36:31,657 --> 00:36:33,023
Terence, Camerron.
1060
00:36:33,025 --> 00:36:34,658
Okay, chefs, so today,
1061
00:36:34,660 --> 00:36:38,428
we have for you a bourbon
and matcha cream puff
1062
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:42,599
with a passion fruit coulis.
1063
00:36:42,601 --> 00:36:44,801
It was a really sweet basket.
1064
00:36:44,803 --> 00:36:49,239
But that's the one thing which
I'm missing in this dessert.
1065
00:36:49,241 --> 00:36:54,277
I think you guys try to show
too much restraint.
1066
00:36:54,279 --> 00:36:58,548
The elements that
you have made are really good.
1067
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:00,550
The sauce is delicious.
1068
00:37:00,552 --> 00:37:02,919
It's got that tart sweet.
1069
00:37:02,921 --> 00:37:04,554
- I want more of it.
- Thank you.
1070
00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:06,389
Flavors are great
but it was a small dessert.
1071
00:37:06,391 --> 00:37:07,958
This is more of a pre dessert.
1072
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,160
Marc is right, like this is
a tiny little plate
1073
00:37:10,162 --> 00:37:11,628
but the texture
of the cream puff
1074
00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:13,663
that you deep fried
is wonderful.
1075
00:37:13,665 --> 00:37:15,532
So chefs, why do you think
your partnership
1076
00:37:15,534 --> 00:37:17,601
has led you all the way
successfully
1077
00:37:17,603 --> 00:37:19,069
to the end of this competition?
1078
00:37:19,071 --> 00:37:20,804
[Camerron] We kind of had
a perfect match.
1079
00:37:20,806 --> 00:37:22,239
I'm very assertive, I'm type A
1080
00:37:22,241 --> 00:37:23,807
but I'm also
very impressionable.
1081
00:37:23,809 --> 00:37:25,475
And I kind of wanted to see,
you know,
1082
00:37:25,477 --> 00:37:27,377
how well he actually
could lead me
1083
00:37:27,379 --> 00:37:28,545
because you're gonna have
to lead me
1084
00:37:28,547 --> 00:37:29,813
if you wanna date me.
1085
00:37:29,815 --> 00:37:30,880
You know,
I'm a lot to deal with.
1086
00:37:30,882 --> 00:37:32,382
[laughter]
1087
00:37:32,384 --> 00:37:33,917
[Ted] All right.
So you got a connection here.
1088
00:37:33,919 --> 00:37:35,118
This is exciting.
1089
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,386
You think this could go
somewhere?
1090
00:37:36,388 --> 00:37:37,520
- Most definitely.
- Yeah. Yeah.
1091
00:37:37,522 --> 00:37:39,422
[Ted] That's really exciting.
1092
00:37:39,424 --> 00:37:41,458
All right, Brooke and Matthew,
what do we have here?
1093
00:37:41,460 --> 00:37:45,161
So we have a toasted
sesame matcha yeast doughnut
1094
00:37:45,163 --> 00:37:47,330
with a birthday cake ice cream
1095
00:37:47,332 --> 00:37:50,867
and a passion fruit
strawberry syrup
1096
00:37:50,869 --> 00:37:53,270
and a tahini sauce.
1097
00:37:53,272 --> 00:37:54,838
[Maneet] How was it working
together this round?
1098
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,506
I think we had pretty good
chemistry in the kitchen
1099
00:37:56,508 --> 00:37:58,041
so I think we'll have to take it
1100
00:37:58,043 --> 00:37:59,643
outside the kitchen now
and see how that goes too.
1101
00:37:59,645 --> 00:38:00,810
[Brooke chuckles]
1102
00:38:00,812 --> 00:38:02,379
[Marc]
These zeppoles are good.
1103
00:38:02,381 --> 00:38:06,516
And this strawberry tahini,
you know...
1104
00:38:06,518 --> 00:38:08,518
I loved it.
I thought it was very good.
1105
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,321
I would never ever
would have thought
1106
00:38:11,323 --> 00:38:13,323
of putting tahini
and passion fruit together
1107
00:38:13,325 --> 00:38:16,026
- but it works really well.
- Thank you.
1108
00:38:16,028 --> 00:38:19,329
The ice cream on the other hand.
1109
00:38:19,331 --> 00:38:21,164
Did you taste the ice cream?
1110
00:38:21,166 --> 00:38:22,799
I mean, it was sweet.
1111
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:24,634
But I kinda thought
a little bit like chocolate
1112
00:38:24,636 --> 00:38:26,202
like came through at the end.
1113
00:38:26,204 --> 00:38:29,105
It's not the flavor
that is the problem.
1114
00:38:29,107 --> 00:38:31,274
It's the texture
that is the problem.
1115
00:38:31,276 --> 00:38:32,676
Okay.
1116
00:38:32,678 --> 00:38:36,179
Because the cake makes it
very grainy.
1117
00:38:36,181 --> 00:38:38,515
But I love this matcha
with the sesame.
1118
00:38:38,517 --> 00:38:40,583
The coating on the exterior
of the zeppole,
1119
00:38:40,585 --> 00:38:44,054
I think it's great.
I think it's clever.
1120
00:38:44,056 --> 00:38:45,488
[Ted] All right.
Thank you, chefs.
1121
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:48,558
[tense music playing]
1122
00:38:51,295 --> 00:38:53,730
Judges, blind date teammates,
how did they do?
1123
00:38:53,732 --> 00:38:55,198
In that appetizer round,
1124
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,500
Camerron and Terence
started off the bat
1125
00:38:57,502 --> 00:38:58,868
with great teamwork.
1126
00:38:58,870 --> 00:39:01,371
[Maneet] Agreed.
The deep fried oysters
1127
00:39:01,373 --> 00:39:03,873
on top of the taco
along with the slaw,
1128
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:05,875
I think that was
such a great idea.
1129
00:39:05,877 --> 00:39:07,577
The tortilla was
a little bit too thick,
1130
00:39:07,579 --> 00:39:09,212
but they got a lot accomplished
1131
00:39:09,214 --> 00:39:10,580
in a very short amount of time.
1132
00:39:10,582 --> 00:39:12,716
And frankly,
so did Brooke and Matt.
1133
00:39:12,718 --> 00:39:14,284
That tzatziki was really good.
1134
00:39:14,286 --> 00:39:16,753
The fry and their oysters
was beautiful.
1135
00:39:16,755 --> 00:39:20,056
But there was some miss-cuts
on some of the vegetables.
1136
00:39:20,058 --> 00:39:21,291
Well, the entree round,
1137
00:39:21,293 --> 00:39:23,059
Matthew and Brooke
gave us a dish
1138
00:39:23,061 --> 00:39:25,061
that they hearken
back to their childhood.
1139
00:39:25,063 --> 00:39:27,897
But dicing up that steak and
cooking it in a red sauce
1140
00:39:27,899 --> 00:39:29,399
made the steak tough.
1141
00:39:29,401 --> 00:39:32,235
But flavor wise,
everything was good.
1142
00:39:32,237 --> 00:39:34,637
On the other hand,
we have Terence and Camerron
1143
00:39:34,639 --> 00:39:36,873
who gave us
a very flavorful dish.
1144
00:39:36,875 --> 00:39:39,509
But the steak,
they didn't slice it properly
1145
00:39:39,511 --> 00:39:40,577
it was hard to cut it.
1146
00:39:40,579 --> 00:39:42,445
[Scott] However, their usage
1147
00:39:42,447 --> 00:39:44,247
of those spicy gummy Lip candies
1148
00:39:44,249 --> 00:39:48,651
to season that Cajun sauce
was so well-done.
1149
00:39:49,787 --> 00:39:53,857
[upbeat music playing]
1150
00:39:53,859 --> 00:39:55,959
[Brooke] Matthew and I showed
extreme creativity
1151
00:39:55,961 --> 00:39:58,294
and cohesiveness
for two people that just met.
1152
00:39:58,296 --> 00:39:59,596
[Matthew]
I think we killed it.
1153
00:39:59,598 --> 00:40:01,197
- Yeah, we got this.
- We got this.
1154
00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:03,733
[laughter]
1155
00:40:03,735 --> 00:40:05,435
We worked our asses off
1156
00:40:05,437 --> 00:40:07,370
and I think that not only
should we win it,
1157
00:40:07,372 --> 00:40:08,938
I think that
we definitely deserve it.
1158
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:12,942
[tense music playing]
1159
00:40:12,944 --> 00:40:16,179
So, whose dish
is on the chopping block?
1160
00:40:16,181 --> 00:40:19,215
[suspenseful music playing]
1161
00:40:26,757 --> 00:40:28,992
Brooke and Matthew,
1162
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:31,861
you've been chopped.
1163
00:40:31,863 --> 00:40:32,896
Judges.
1164
00:40:32,898 --> 00:40:34,731
Chef Brooke, Chef Matthew,
1165
00:40:34,733 --> 00:40:36,065
in your appetizer round,
1166
00:40:36,067 --> 00:40:38,268
the fry on your oysters
was beautiful.
1167
00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:41,004
But there was some miss-cuts
on the vegetables.
1168
00:40:41,006 --> 00:40:43,473
In your main course, you took
a beautiful prime rib,
1169
00:40:43,475 --> 00:40:45,842
and stewed it
and it made it really tough.
1170
00:40:45,844 --> 00:40:47,577
And in your dessert round,
1171
00:40:47,579 --> 00:40:49,946
the ice cream just didn't
come together for you.
1172
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,315
And so, we had to chop you.
1173
00:40:52,317 --> 00:40:55,919
However, go out
and have a nice glass of wine.
1174
00:40:55,921 --> 00:40:57,120
These guys are gonna pay for it.
1175
00:40:57,122 --> 00:40:59,656
[laughter]
1176
00:40:59,658 --> 00:41:01,491
Thank you so much
for the opportunity.
1177
00:41:01,493 --> 00:41:04,461
This was an amazing,
amazing experience.
1178
00:41:04,463 --> 00:41:06,596
This was a true blessing,
thank you, chefs.
1179
00:41:06,598 --> 00:41:09,499
This is the best first date
ever. [chuckles]
1180
00:41:09,501 --> 00:41:12,235
And I couldn't have imagined
doing this
1181
00:41:12,237 --> 00:41:13,670
with a better partner...
1182
00:41:13,672 --> 00:41:15,271
- Yeah. For sure.
- This is amazing.
1183
00:41:15,273 --> 00:41:17,040
Yeah. We definitely...
We definitely work well
1184
00:41:17,042 --> 00:41:18,808
together in the kitchen,
so now we'll kind of
1185
00:41:18,810 --> 00:41:20,143
see how this works
outside the kitchen.
1186
00:41:20,145 --> 00:41:21,578
Will the chemistry continue?
1187
00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:24,013
I know.
The future will tell.
1188
00:41:24,015 --> 00:41:25,815
And that means,
Chef Terence Harvey
1189
00:41:25,817 --> 00:41:27,584
and Chef Camerron Dangerfield,
1190
00:41:27,586 --> 00:41:29,319
you are the Chopped champions.
1191
00:41:29,321 --> 00:41:32,455
You survived your first date
and you won $10,000.
1192
00:41:32,457 --> 00:41:34,257
Congratulations.
Good stuff.
1193
00:41:34,259 --> 00:41:38,161
[applause]
1194
00:41:38,163 --> 00:41:40,029
Oh, my goodness.
1195
00:41:40,031 --> 00:41:41,364
- Oh, wow.
- We're excited.
1196
00:41:41,366 --> 00:41:42,732
You did it.
We did it.
1197
00:41:42,734 --> 00:41:43,833
That was good.
That was good.
1198
00:41:43,835 --> 00:41:45,301
I think we are the dream team.
1199
00:41:45,303 --> 00:41:46,569
[Terence]
We are the dream team, yeah.
1200
00:41:46,571 --> 00:41:47,704
[Camerron] I'm pretty excited.
1201
00:41:47,706 --> 00:41:49,339
Well, I didn't come in here
expecting to meet someone
1202
00:41:49,341 --> 00:41:50,807
like that actually vibe with,
1203
00:41:50,809 --> 00:41:52,876
that I wanna see myself with
in the future,
1204
00:41:52,878 --> 00:41:53,877
but I did.
1205
00:41:53,879 --> 00:41:55,411
We could end up married.
1206
00:41:55,413 --> 00:41:56,412
The future will hold.
1207
00:41:56,414 --> 00:41:57,881
The future will hold, yeah.
1208
