Gordon: Previously on
"masterchef: Generations"...
2
00:00:04,547 --> 00:00:06,463
Welcome to
the masterchef kitchen!
3
00:00:06,465 --> 00:00:10,384
...The auditions began
with the millennials...
4
00:00:10,386 --> 00:00:13,303
We're moving food
in a new exciting direction.
5
00:00:13,305 --> 00:00:16,306
Millennials know how to learn,
they know how to innovate,
and they know how listen.
6
00:00:16,392 --> 00:00:18,225
What's the millennial twist
on this thing?
7
00:00:18,269 --> 00:00:19,727
Instead of serving it
traditionally,
8
00:00:19,812 --> 00:00:20,894
I'm gonna air fry them.
9
00:00:20,938 --> 00:00:22,646
Is that a millennial thing now?
10
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:25,774
...As the first five
white aprons were handed out.
11
00:00:25,818 --> 00:00:28,861
The herbs, the freshness,
I could eat this every day.
12
00:00:28,904 --> 00:00:31,196
There are three
certainties in life,
13
00:00:31,198 --> 00:00:33,907
Death, taxes, and you
getting an apron right now.
14
00:00:33,909 --> 00:00:35,784
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
15
00:00:35,828 --> 00:00:37,828
Delicious. Really delicious.
16
00:00:37,872 --> 00:00:39,913
In true millennial style,
should we do a selfie?
17
00:00:39,957 --> 00:00:42,458
Absolutely.
18
00:00:42,460 --> 00:00:46,295
Tonight the auditions continue
with the oldest generation,
19
00:00:46,338 --> 00:00:47,921
- The baby boomers...
- Go, boomers!
20
00:00:47,923 --> 00:00:51,091
Please welcome my mother
lidia bastianich.
21
00:00:52,803 --> 00:00:54,470
...As more
home cooks compete...
22
00:00:54,513 --> 00:00:57,598
I'm a baby boomer blooming
in the kitchen now.
23
00:00:57,641 --> 00:01:00,642
- I smell something.
Is that okay?
- You burned the venison.
24
00:01:00,686 --> 00:01:03,353
These recipes that we're cooking
are from a heritage cooks.
25
00:01:03,397 --> 00:01:05,230
I'm gonna show them
what the old folks can do.
26
00:01:05,274 --> 00:01:07,274
...For a coveted white apron.
27
00:01:07,318 --> 00:01:09,684
The chicken, crispy,
and the flavor is excellent.
28
00:01:09,695 --> 00:01:12,112
The dish is good. I like you.
I like the energy.
29
00:01:12,156 --> 00:01:16,325
This is a perfectly executed
dish for children.
30
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:24,124
- ( music playing )
- ( cheering )
31
00:01:24,168 --> 00:01:27,461
- Season 14!
- Baby boomer!
32
00:01:27,505 --> 00:01:28,921
This is unbelievable,
isn't it?
33
00:01:28,964 --> 00:01:31,507
This is gonna be so exciting.
34
00:01:32,718 --> 00:01:34,093
- Right.
- At all.
35
00:01:34,136 --> 00:01:37,221
I may be old,
but age is just a number.
36
00:01:37,264 --> 00:01:39,431
We taught the young kids
how to do it.
37
00:01:39,475 --> 00:01:42,184
I'm gonna get down
in this kitchen and show them
what the older folk can do.
38
00:01:42,228 --> 00:01:43,602
- Yay!
- ( laughs )
39
00:01:43,646 --> 00:01:46,438
I'm ready. Ready or not,
here I come. I'm ready.
40
00:01:46,524 --> 00:01:49,149
Yeah, it would
be great if I won.
I'd be really happy.
41
00:01:49,193 --> 00:01:51,527
I'm not scared at all.
You know why?
42
00:01:51,570 --> 00:01:53,695
Experience, wisdom,
and knowledge.
43
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:58,617
I'm gonna show chef ramsay
this a 60-year-old boomer
can kick some ass.
44
00:01:58,661 --> 00:02:00,077
Oh, my gosh. Here it goes.
45
00:02:00,121 --> 00:02:03,789
- Oh, my god.
- ( cheers and applause )
46
00:02:03,833 --> 00:02:06,416
- Whoo!
- ( laughing )
47
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:11,755
Yeah!
48
00:02:11,757 --> 00:02:13,966
- Woohoo!
- Whoo!
49
00:02:15,427 --> 00:02:18,387
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
50
00:02:18,430 --> 00:02:21,306
- Wow.
- Wow!
51
00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:26,228
Thank you so much,
and welcome back to
"masterchef: Generations."
52
00:02:26,272 --> 00:02:29,398
- ( cheering )
- yeah!
53
00:02:29,441 --> 00:02:32,317
Now, so far we've seen
the millennials,
54
00:02:32,361 --> 00:02:35,404
And there are three more
generations to go.
55
00:02:35,447 --> 00:02:39,324
Tonight five more
talented home cooks
56
00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:42,494
Will earn their spot
in this competition.
57
00:02:42,538 --> 00:02:46,748
Now, the generation
cooking tonight
58
00:02:46,792 --> 00:02:51,170
Is the baby boomers!
59
00:02:51,172 --> 00:02:53,755
All:
Boomers, boomers, boomers!
60
00:02:53,799 --> 00:02:56,258
- Yeah!
- Boomers, boomers!
61
00:02:56,260 --> 00:02:59,428
Okay, boomers, listen up.
You're all over 59 years young.
62
00:02:59,471 --> 00:03:02,139
I mean, you've seen vietnam.
You've seen the '60s.
63
00:03:02,183 --> 00:03:04,850
Your recipes have been passed
down through generations,
64
00:03:04,894 --> 00:03:07,811
And without a doubt,
taste delicious.
65
00:03:07,855 --> 00:03:10,439
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
66
00:03:10,441 --> 00:03:14,318
Okay, guys, to acquire
that coveted apron,
67
00:03:14,361 --> 00:03:16,153
You need three judges
to say yes.
68
00:03:16,155 --> 00:03:20,240
And we have a special
fourth guest judge
69
00:03:20,284 --> 00:03:23,493
Joining us this evening
from your generation.
70
00:03:23,537 --> 00:03:27,789
She's a great chef,
she's a cookbook author,
71
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:30,083
- She's a restaurateur.
- Wow.
72
00:03:30,127 --> 00:03:32,753
Joe: But her greatest
accomplishment of all,
73
00:03:32,796 --> 00:03:35,214
She raised me.
74
00:03:35,257 --> 00:03:36,924
- ( laughs )
- oh! Mom!
75
00:03:36,926 --> 00:03:42,346
Please welcome my mother
lidia bastianich.
76
00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:50,854
Welcome back.
So good to see you.
77
00:03:50,898 --> 00:03:52,397
Thank you.
78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:55,525
Hello.
79
00:03:56,862 --> 00:03:59,404
Aww, joe.
80
00:03:59,448 --> 00:04:01,073
Welcome back to
the masterchef kitchen.
81
00:04:01,116 --> 00:04:02,741
It's a pleasure and an honor
to have you back.
82
00:04:02,785 --> 00:04:05,118
Oh, my pleasure being here.
83
00:04:05,162 --> 00:04:07,537
Honestly, you have done it all
in the world of food.
84
00:04:07,581 --> 00:04:09,706
You've cooked
alongside julia child
85
00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:12,292
And hosted several amazing
86
00:04:12,294 --> 00:04:14,336
Emmy-award winning food shows,
87
00:04:14,380 --> 00:04:18,298
Not to mention your hugely
successful restaurant empire.
88
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:21,760
Literally, truly, living legend
of italian cuisine.
89
00:04:21,804 --> 00:04:23,720
- Come on.
- Thank you, thank you.
90
00:04:23,764 --> 00:04:25,430
( all cheering )
91
00:04:25,432 --> 00:04:28,308
Being a legendary
baby boomer, lidia,
92
00:04:28,352 --> 00:04:30,978
What advice would you give
these baby boomers tonight?
93
00:04:31,021 --> 00:04:32,896
We, I think, are the basis,
94
00:04:32,898 --> 00:04:36,400
The roots, the stability
of home cooking.
95
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:39,528
So don't think
about the other generations.
96
00:04:39,571 --> 00:04:42,364
Just go to your base
and do what you can do best.
97
00:04:42,408 --> 00:04:44,992
Yes. Wonderful.
98
00:04:46,412 --> 00:04:49,955
Right, don't forget, all of you
talented baby boomers,
99
00:04:49,999 --> 00:04:54,126
There are only five aprons
up for grabs tonight
for your generation.
100
00:04:54,169 --> 00:04:57,421
Make sure you get your hands
on one of them.
101
00:04:57,464 --> 00:05:00,841
Now your time starts
when that clock starts.
102
00:05:00,884 --> 00:05:03,260
The very best of luck
to you all.
103
00:05:03,304 --> 00:05:04,886
We'll see you
in the restaurants.
104
00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:08,015
- ( all cheering )
- yeah!
105
00:05:12,104 --> 00:05:14,187
So tonight, baby boomers.
106
00:05:14,231 --> 00:05:16,273
They started everything
for us, right?
107
00:05:16,317 --> 00:05:18,150
We laid the ground
for you guys.
108
00:05:18,152 --> 00:05:19,735
What do you wanna see tonight?
109
00:05:19,737 --> 00:05:22,279
You know, I think that they're
gonna respect the product,
110
00:05:22,323 --> 00:05:24,614
- Not wasting anything...
- Yes.
111
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:26,408
- ...And simple preparations.
- Aarón: I agree.
112
00:05:26,410 --> 00:05:28,535
I think they're gonna pay homage
through their dishes
113
00:05:28,537 --> 00:05:30,746
To the traditions
of grandmother's kitchen.
114
00:05:30,789 --> 00:05:32,622
- Yep.
- Here we go.
115
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:34,166
( all cheering )
116
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:37,169
- Let's do this!
- Whoo!
117
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:39,254
I didn't come all the way
to lose to people
118
00:05:39,298 --> 00:05:41,340
That weren't even born
when I started cooking.
119
00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:45,052
The boomers are well-seasoned
and gen z's undercooked.
120
00:05:45,095 --> 00:05:47,596
( laughter )
121
00:05:47,639 --> 00:05:50,724
- You got it, pumpkin.
- You know, I'm a mama bear.
122
00:05:50,726 --> 00:05:54,353
I love these young kids.
But, man, I tell you what.
I'm gonna kick their butt.
123
00:05:57,316 --> 00:06:00,108
I love being a boomer.
Boomers are amazing.
124
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:02,235
We know how to be mean,
we know how to be soft,
125
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,487
And we know how to win,
126
00:06:03,530 --> 00:06:05,614
And I think we can do it
pretty graciously.
127
00:06:05,657 --> 00:06:09,242
I'm 63 years old,
I have five kids,
128
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:10,535
Eight grandchildren,
129
00:06:10,579 --> 00:06:12,537
But I have a lot of dreams
and goals.
130
00:06:12,581 --> 00:06:15,749
Being in the masterchef kitchen
is really exciting.
131
00:06:15,793 --> 00:06:16,875
It's super scary.
132
00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:18,710
But this is the top of the pack.
133
00:06:18,796 --> 00:06:21,922
I'm ready to go.
134
00:06:21,965 --> 00:06:25,050
- All right, gordon,
let's go do it.
- Shall we?
135
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:29,805
- ( crowd cheering )
- hi, guys.
136
00:06:29,848 --> 00:06:31,681
- Whoo!
- Let's go.
137
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:34,142
- How are you?
Hi, I'm rebecka.
- Nice to see you. Welcome.
138
00:06:34,186 --> 00:06:37,437
- What are you cooking?
- I'm cooking a pork chop
with sour cream mash,
139
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:39,356
A brussels sprout hash
right here.
140
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,732
And what's the deal
with roux right here?
141
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:42,526
What are you gonna do
with that?
142
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:44,111
So I'm gonna make
my famous jalapeno white gravy.
143
00:06:44,154 --> 00:06:46,321
- Nice.
- This is a super boomer dish.
144
00:06:46,365 --> 00:06:48,365
- So traditional.
I love that.
- Yeah.
145
00:06:48,409 --> 00:06:49,825
What separates the baby boomers
146
00:06:49,868 --> 00:06:51,535
From the millennials,
for instance?
147
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:54,663
So these recipes
that we're cooking
are from heritage cooks.
148
00:06:54,706 --> 00:06:57,290
You know, I'm trying to elevate
things for this generation,
149
00:06:57,334 --> 00:06:59,292
Teach them, love them,
and then kick their butts.
150
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:01,420
- Yeah!
- I love that. I love that.
151
00:07:01,463 --> 00:07:03,713
And you're not frazzled.
You're talking back to him.
152
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,090
Usually,
he's very intimidating.
153
00:07:05,134 --> 00:07:06,341
- Stop it.
- I'm not afraid of anybody.
154
00:07:06,385 --> 00:07:08,301
I got no fear.
I'm gonna have some fun.
155
00:07:08,345 --> 00:07:10,595
You gotta be careful
what you wish for.
156
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,014
He transforms into somebody else
in a field challenge, all right?
157
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:17,602
- Hey, I'm ready.
- A pencil comes out,
and all things go backwards.
158
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:20,480
He has not seen a mother
with a wooden spoon.
159
00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:22,691
Oh!
160
00:07:22,734 --> 00:07:24,484
Orale! I love it.
161
00:07:24,528 --> 00:07:27,654
Noted. Very best of luck.
Don't mess this up.
162
00:07:27,698 --> 00:07:30,449
- Oh, ( bleep ).
- Exactly!
163
00:07:35,789 --> 00:07:37,289
- 4 1/2 minutes.
- Rebecka: Okay.
164
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:39,499
Pork chops are really tough
165
00:07:39,543 --> 00:07:42,169
Especially deep frying
or frying in a pan.
166
00:07:42,212 --> 00:07:44,087
You never know
what you're gonna get
167
00:07:44,131 --> 00:07:45,380
Unless you're
really paying attention.
168
00:07:45,424 --> 00:07:48,175
I hope that it comes out
really good.
169
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:53,138
All: Five, four,
three, two, one.
170
00:07:53,182 --> 00:07:55,891
- ( all cheering )
- whoo!
171
00:07:55,934 --> 00:07:58,435
I have given so much
in my life
172
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:01,313
Working day and night
for my family.
173
00:08:01,356 --> 00:08:05,442
And so now it's time
for me, me, me,
174
00:08:05,444 --> 00:08:07,986
To be the person
who's in the forefront.
175
00:08:07,988 --> 00:08:09,821
This is my time to shine.
176
00:08:09,865 --> 00:08:14,576
- Welcome!
- All right. And you are?
177
00:08:14,620 --> 00:08:18,121
My name is rebecka.
I'm from castle rock, colorado.
I'm 63 years old.
178
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:21,625
- And I am so thankful
to be here with you today.
- What's your day job?
179
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:26,129
Well, I'm retired now,
but when I was young and thin
and all of that stuff,
180
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:29,132
- I sang professional opera.
- Both: Wow.
181
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:30,509
What do you got?
Let's hear something.
182
00:08:31,887 --> 00:08:34,763
( vocalizing )
183
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:41,520
( continues vocalizing )
184
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:43,855
- Wow.
- That was amazing.
That's beautiful.
185
00:08:43,899 --> 00:08:46,483
- Excellent.
- Okay, what's the dish, please?
186
00:08:46,527 --> 00:08:49,236
I made for you
a deep-fried pork chop,
187
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:50,820
Sour cream mashed potatoes,
188
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:53,281
Brussels sprouts,
cranberries, and bacon,
189
00:08:53,325 --> 00:08:55,408
And creamy jalapeno gravy.
190
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:59,496
- Wow.
- We served heavy plates
when we were growing up.
191
00:08:59,581 --> 00:09:02,332
I wanna learn finesse.
That's why I'm here.
192
00:09:02,376 --> 00:09:05,919
You have come to
the top notch culinary school
in the world then.
193
00:09:05,921 --> 00:09:09,297
The question is, do you have
what it takes to compete
194
00:09:09,341 --> 00:09:11,591
With gen x,
millennials, gen z?
195
00:09:11,593 --> 00:09:14,386
Well, I have a lot of energy
and I'm super aggressive.
196
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:16,137
- All right.
- And I'm not afraid
of anything.
197
00:09:16,139 --> 00:09:18,306
- Right. Shall we?
- Let's check it out.
198
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:19,349
Okay.
199
00:09:22,771 --> 00:09:24,354
Ah, whew, dear. Yeah.
200
00:09:24,398 --> 00:09:27,566
Presentation-wise,
it does look a bit dated, right?
201
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:29,234
I said elevate.
202
00:09:29,278 --> 00:09:32,487
I didn't mean pork chops
suspended from the ceiling.
203
00:09:32,531 --> 00:09:34,489
And I'm not being rude,
I'm just being honest.
204
00:09:36,285 --> 00:09:38,910
It's like you've dressed
this dish in the dark.
205
00:09:38,954 --> 00:09:40,996
Um...
206
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,429
Ah, whew, dear. Yeah.
207
00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:00,098
Presentation-wise,
it does look a bit dated, right?
208
00:10:01,435 --> 00:10:03,393
And I'm not being rude,
I'm just being honest.
209
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:07,814
It's like you've dressed
this dish in the dark.
210
00:10:07,858 --> 00:10:09,441
Um...
211
00:10:09,484 --> 00:10:11,526
But ultimately,
it's down to the taste, okay?
212
00:10:11,528 --> 00:10:14,154
Shall we dig in?
213
00:10:14,197 --> 00:10:17,699
Let's see the cook
on the pork chop as well.
214
00:10:17,701 --> 00:10:19,367
- Lidia: Nice. Beautiful.
- It's cooked beautifully.
215
00:10:19,411 --> 00:10:21,328
- Right on.
- Thank you.
216
00:10:26,793 --> 00:10:28,585
Lidia:
So are you gonna dig in, too?
217
00:10:28,629 --> 00:10:30,587
- No, you go ahead.
- Yeah? You want me
to cut it for you?
218
00:10:30,631 --> 00:10:32,339
- No, no. I cut it myself.
- Like I used to?
219
00:10:32,341 --> 00:10:34,799
( laughing )
220
00:10:34,843 --> 00:10:37,385
- When you were little.
- Both: Choo-choo!
221
00:10:37,429 --> 00:10:40,639
- Who's a big boy?
- How 'bout an airplane?
( imitates whooshing )
222
00:10:40,682 --> 00:10:44,476
- ( laughing )
- you guys are easily amused.
I love that.
223
00:10:44,519 --> 00:10:46,394
- We all did it
for our kids, no?
- No kidding.
224
00:10:46,396 --> 00:10:48,521
- That's the truth.
- Okay, I'm gonna start off
with the positives.
225
00:10:48,565 --> 00:10:50,315
- The pork's cooked beautifully.
- Thank you.
226
00:10:50,359 --> 00:10:53,109
And there are so many
amazing flavors there,
227
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:54,944
But we need to give
your plate a facelift.
228
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,155
- Yeah.
- It just needs to be brought
into the modern world.
229
00:10:57,199 --> 00:11:00,784
- Yeah. Wonderful. Thank you.
- But the pork is exceptional.
230
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:03,411
- I feel like this dish
is giving me a hug...
- Oh!
231
00:11:03,455 --> 00:11:05,330
...Like my abuela or my mama
would give me a hug,
232
00:11:05,374 --> 00:11:06,790
- Which is a huge complement.
- Oh, yeah.
233
00:11:06,833 --> 00:11:08,667
- Delicious.
- Thank you so much, yeah.
234
00:11:08,710 --> 00:11:11,252
The flavor is excellent.
Delicious on every
single element.
235
00:11:11,338 --> 00:11:14,506
- This is really tasty.
- Thank you so much.
236
00:11:14,549 --> 00:11:17,092
I'm not really sure
what to say here.
237
00:11:17,135 --> 00:11:20,887
Um, this dish is, um...
238
00:11:20,889 --> 00:11:22,180
Exceptional.
239
00:11:22,224 --> 00:11:24,182
Just honored. Thank you.
240
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:26,893
Okay, you need
three yeses to go through.
You know that?
241
00:11:26,895 --> 00:11:29,104
Right. Yeah.
242
00:11:29,147 --> 00:11:33,650
( music playing )
243
00:11:33,694 --> 00:11:36,236
Shall we?
244
00:11:36,279 --> 00:11:37,779
- Judges: Yes!
- Yeah!
245
00:11:37,823 --> 00:11:40,281
- You deserve the four.
- Oh, thank you so much.
246
00:11:40,283 --> 00:11:42,242
- I really am honored.
- Congratulations.
247
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:43,410
- Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Really well done, rebecka.
248
00:11:43,495 --> 00:11:44,786
I'm just honored.
Thank you so much.
249
00:11:44,830 --> 00:11:48,707
( music playing )
250
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:51,751
( all cheering )
251
00:11:51,795 --> 00:11:55,130
Congratulations.
Very proud of you.
252
00:11:55,173 --> 00:11:57,507
I just won a masterchef apron.
253
00:11:57,551 --> 00:12:01,553
This is such a validation.
It feels, like, not real.
254
00:12:01,555 --> 00:12:03,304
- Can you believe it?
- That's awesome.
I do believe it.
255
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:04,806
- I don't believe it.
- I've always believed in you.
256
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:08,393
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
257
00:12:11,022 --> 00:12:15,275
If she has the stamina
and persistence to cook
like this throughout...
258
00:12:15,318 --> 00:12:17,193
- Oh, my god.
- ...She could really
be a contender.
259
00:12:17,195 --> 00:12:19,404
- Wow.
- Lidia: She has the potential.
260
00:12:19,448 --> 00:12:21,823
Gordon:
That's one apron down.
Four to go.
261
00:12:21,867 --> 00:12:23,742
- Great start.
- Joe: Excellent.
262
00:12:28,165 --> 00:12:30,123
Derak: Let's hear
some noise back there!
263
00:12:31,585 --> 00:12:34,502
I know about gen x, gen z.
I raised them.
264
00:12:34,546 --> 00:12:36,421
I changed their diapers.
So I'm here for it.
265
00:12:36,465 --> 00:12:37,881
I'm gonna show them
how to do it.
266
00:12:37,924 --> 00:12:40,759
Hi, I'm derak green.
I am 59 years old.
267
00:12:40,802 --> 00:12:42,343
I have six kids.
I have 15 grands.
268
00:12:42,387 --> 00:12:44,721
- I have two great-grands.
- Yeah!
269
00:12:44,765 --> 00:12:47,515
They're keeping me young.
270
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,144
I'm making sticky pork belly,
creamy smoked gouda grits,
271
00:12:51,188 --> 00:12:53,188
With a quail egg on top.
272
00:12:53,231 --> 00:12:55,482
Breakfast for dinner.
But you know what?
273
00:12:55,525 --> 00:12:57,400
I like to push the envelope.
I'm that grandfather
274
00:12:57,444 --> 00:12:59,319
That's gonna make it happen,
all right?
275
00:12:59,362 --> 00:13:03,990
All: Five, four,
three, two, one.
276
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:09,287
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
277
00:13:09,331 --> 00:13:12,248
I made my breakfast for dinner.
278
00:13:12,292 --> 00:13:17,128
Asian sticky pork belly
over some smoked gouda grits,
279
00:13:17,172 --> 00:13:20,173
An over-easy quail egg,
a little crispy shell.
280
00:13:20,217 --> 00:13:21,424
Joe: Shall we taste?
281
00:13:23,553 --> 00:13:26,429
So, visually, it doesn't look
like a baby boomer's dish.
282
00:13:26,431 --> 00:13:28,264
You've sort of gone all
a little bit millennial on me.
283
00:13:28,308 --> 00:13:30,391
- Yes, I did.
- Look, it has everything
284
00:13:30,435 --> 00:13:33,353
Going for it visually
to be a tasty dish.
285
00:13:33,396 --> 00:13:34,687
Let's hope it lives up
to its looks.
286
00:13:34,731 --> 00:13:36,981
All right. We'll find out.
287
00:13:43,698 --> 00:13:46,533
Pork belly is good.
It's seasoned beautifully.
288
00:13:46,576 --> 00:13:49,285
The big issue I've got here
is the gumminess of the grits.
289
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:52,914
And I'm not too sure if gouda
is the right cheese for that.
290
00:13:52,958 --> 00:13:56,584
- Okay.
- Derak, I think for me,
it kind of registers
291
00:13:56,628 --> 00:13:59,587
Like a quick service
chinese restaurant,
292
00:13:59,631 --> 00:14:03,258
And that's not necessarily
a good thing.
293
00:14:03,301 --> 00:14:05,093
I think that the flavor
of the pork
294
00:14:05,136 --> 00:14:08,096
And the spices is very good.
295
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:12,300
- I enjoyed it very much.
- Look, it's, um-- it's good,
296
00:14:12,310 --> 00:14:15,228
But is it good enough
for a very competitive
297
00:14:15,230 --> 00:14:18,481
Multi-generational
masterchef kitchen?
298
00:14:18,525 --> 00:14:21,359
I'm not sure.
299
00:14:24,364 --> 00:14:25,488
( crowd groans )
300
00:14:28,577 --> 00:14:31,536
I didn't get an apron this time,
but I came here to learn.
301
00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:35,206
And always remember,
food is a vehicle for love.
302
00:14:35,292 --> 00:14:37,625
Be better
and make the world better.
303
00:14:42,257 --> 00:14:44,257
You know what's funny?
I don't feel like a boomer...
304
00:14:44,301 --> 00:14:45,717
Till I get up in the morning.
305
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,219
I'm gonna show them
what the old folks can do.
306
00:14:48,263 --> 00:14:52,265
I'm here to get that apron.
Later I'll get the trophy.
307
00:14:53,602 --> 00:14:58,271
My name is warren,
I am a young 70 years old.
308
00:14:58,315 --> 00:15:00,773
When I was young
I loved to cook,
309
00:15:00,775 --> 00:15:02,859
And I was a flight attendant.
310
00:15:02,903 --> 00:15:05,561
For 27 years, I was able to
taste the foods of the world
311
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:07,447
And it really
developed my palate.
312
00:15:07,449 --> 00:15:11,451
No matter where I went,
I would find myself cooking.
313
00:15:11,453 --> 00:15:13,411
- Just a touch of olive oil.
- ( muttering )
314
00:15:13,455 --> 00:15:15,663
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
315
00:15:15,665 --> 00:15:19,334
It was great experience,
and it's all made me who I am.
316
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:20,543
( humming )
317
00:15:20,587 --> 00:15:22,211
I need some of this wine.
318
00:15:22,213 --> 00:15:24,547
Now that I'm retired, I'm ready
to start something new.
319
00:15:24,549 --> 00:15:27,592
So here I am
in the masterchef kitchen.
320
00:15:27,594 --> 00:15:29,385
Hello!
321
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:34,098
( laughing )
can I say that?
322
00:15:34,184 --> 00:15:36,893
All right. Come on, joe.
Show me the kitchen.
323
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:39,270
- You wanna go? Let's go.
- All right.
324
00:15:40,523 --> 00:15:44,067
( cheering )
325
00:15:44,110 --> 00:15:47,403
- Hello, sir.
- Buongiorno, buongiorno!
326
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:48,821
- What's your name?
- I'm warren.
327
00:15:48,823 --> 00:15:50,990
- So what are you making for us?
- I'm making my version
328
00:15:50,992 --> 00:15:53,326
Of a chicken piccata,
and I'm doing a purée
329
00:15:53,328 --> 00:15:57,288
Of potatoes with garlic,
and I'm just star struck
looking at you.
330
00:15:57,332 --> 00:15:59,624
- ( laughter )
- no, no. Take your time.
Take a deep breath.
331
00:15:59,668 --> 00:16:03,795
Roasted asparagus
and a lemon fennel vinaigrette.
332
00:16:03,838 --> 00:16:05,630
So a classic italian dish.
So, piccata's dish
333
00:16:05,674 --> 00:16:08,257
That definitely comes from
the baby boomer generation.
334
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:09,550
And who are these lovely ladies?
335
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:11,803
- This is the niece squad.
- The niece squad.
336
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:14,305
- Niece squad!
- Let me ask these ladies.
Is this the real deal?
337
00:16:14,349 --> 00:16:16,724
- Can he really cook?
- The real deal.
338
00:16:16,768 --> 00:16:18,184
- He's our masterchef.
- They won't let me
out of the kitchen.
339
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:19,310
- No.
- All right, well,
340
00:16:19,354 --> 00:16:20,561
We'll look forward
to seeing it.
341
00:16:20,605 --> 00:16:21,771
- Good luck.
- All right.
342
00:16:21,773 --> 00:16:22,772
- Nice to meet you.
- Thank you.
343
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:23,898
- Thank you.
- Bye-bye.
344
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,483
Bye-bye.
345
00:16:25,527 --> 00:16:27,360
- Chicken piccata.
- Some interesting things.
346
00:16:27,478 --> 00:16:29,529
- Let's see.
- Yes. Fantastic.
347
00:16:29,572 --> 00:16:33,783
- Warren: Time to plate.
- All right. Looks so good.
348
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:37,662
All: Four, three, two, one.
349
00:16:40,792 --> 00:16:42,375
Okay, I gotta go.
350
00:16:42,419 --> 00:16:44,252
I'm so glad that
I'm getting the opportunity
351
00:16:44,295 --> 00:16:46,129
To cook
in the masterchef kitchen.
352
00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:49,424
Even at 70, life doesn't stop
just because you've retired.
353
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:53,177
So I've put all the love I can
into my plate to get that apron.
354
00:16:53,179 --> 00:16:56,305
- Welcome, welcome, welcome.
- Oh, my god.
355
00:16:56,307 --> 00:16:58,808
Tell us your name,
and what's the dish, please?
356
00:16:58,852 --> 00:17:01,352
I'm warren, I'm 70 years old.
357
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:04,605
I made a chicken piccata
with purée of mashed potatoes,
358
00:17:04,649 --> 00:17:09,360
Pan-roasted asparagus,
and a lemon fennel vinaigrette.
359
00:17:09,404 --> 00:17:11,946
- As a baby boomer,
you look great for 70.
- You look great.
360
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:15,324
- Lidia? Seriously?
I mean, he looks good.
- Yeah, absolutely.
361
00:17:15,368 --> 00:17:17,535
When I was younger,
my body was a temple.
362
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:19,203
- Wow.
- Now it's the temple of doom.
363
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:22,749
- ( laughter )
- shall we?
364
00:17:22,751 --> 00:17:24,667
Okay, right.
365
00:17:24,711 --> 00:17:26,169
Joe, please, visually?
366
00:17:26,171 --> 00:17:28,171
It looks like
that kind of classic dish
367
00:17:28,214 --> 00:17:29,714
You would expect from a boomer.
368
00:17:29,716 --> 00:17:31,674
You got your veg,
you got your starch,
369
00:17:31,676 --> 00:17:34,385
You got your protein.
It's very responsible.
370
00:17:34,429 --> 00:17:36,471
- I hope it works for you.
- Okay.
371
00:17:36,514 --> 00:17:39,390
- Interesting. Lidia?
- What I'm looking for
is a little sauce.
372
00:17:39,434 --> 00:17:41,642
It was drizzled on top.
There's no sauce underneath.
373
00:17:41,644 --> 00:17:44,729
Oh, here it is.
All right, looks good.
374
00:17:44,773 --> 00:17:46,481
- Thank you.
- Shall we dig in?
375
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,028
Ay-yi...
376
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:55,865
Right, warren, as you know,
377
00:17:55,867 --> 00:17:57,700
You need three yeses
for an apron.
378
00:17:57,702 --> 00:18:01,370
I love the smoothness
of that mashed potato.
379
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,164
- The chicken's
cooked beautifully.
- Thank you.
380
00:18:03,208 --> 00:18:04,874
The dish is good.
I like you, I like the energy,
381
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:07,376
And for 70 years of age,
you're quite rare.
382
00:18:07,420 --> 00:18:13,174
I'm excited about
you kicking other generations
up the backside.
383
00:18:13,218 --> 00:18:15,593
- Mm-hmm?
- So it's a resounding yes.
384
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:18,262
- Oh, god.
- Aarón, please.
385
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:19,597
Yeah, I just love
the tenderness of the chicken.
386
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,133
I love the fluffiness
of the potatoes,
387
00:18:22,143 --> 00:18:23,726
- And I know there's
a lot more in you.
- Okay.
388
00:18:23,728 --> 00:18:26,896
And I'm excited to see that.
For me, it's an absolute yes.
389
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:30,942
Two yeses. Uh, joe, please.
390
00:18:30,985 --> 00:18:33,569
This is a well-conceptualized,
391
00:18:33,571 --> 00:18:37,615
- Perfectly executed dish...
- My god.
392
00:18:37,659 --> 00:18:40,284
- ...For children.
- Oh!
393
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:43,246
Wow.
394
00:18:52,298 --> 00:18:55,216
This is a well-conceptualized,
395
00:18:55,218 --> 00:18:58,845
- Perfectly executed dish...
- My god.
396
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:01,389
- ...For children.
- Oh!
397
00:19:01,432 --> 00:19:04,851
This dish for me is too simple.
Unfortunately, it's a no.
398
00:19:04,894 --> 00:19:08,396
Gordon: Wow.
That's two yeses, one no.
399
00:19:08,439 --> 00:19:10,648
You need three yeses
to get your hands on that apron.
400
00:19:10,650 --> 00:19:11,816
Lidia?
401
00:19:11,860 --> 00:19:14,652
- Uh, the dish is good.
- Thank you.
402
00:19:14,696 --> 00:19:18,573
Love the potatoes. But you need
a little bit of acidity.
403
00:19:18,616 --> 00:19:19,782
Okay.
404
00:19:19,826 --> 00:19:23,661
So, um, I'm going to say...
405
00:19:29,878 --> 00:19:33,421
- ( crowd groans )
- I tried.
406
00:19:33,464 --> 00:19:34,755
I got it.
407
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:37,633
( all cheering )
408
00:19:37,677 --> 00:19:39,218
( laughing )
409
00:19:39,262 --> 00:19:40,553
I'm over the moon.
410
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:42,555
It just shows,
always try something new.
411
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:44,390
You're never too old
to keep going on, you know?
412
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:47,894
Watch the hair.
This is so cool! Yay!
413
00:19:47,896 --> 00:19:50,563
- Warren!
- I cannot believe it.
414
00:19:50,607 --> 00:19:53,774
- Yeah.
- You are going to be
the next masterchef.
415
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:57,528
- I'm gonna try.
- Yay!
416
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:01,490
- Joe, it's good.
- What is the matter
with you guys?
417
00:20:01,534 --> 00:20:04,285
There's good techniques here.
There's a lot of potential!
418
00:20:04,329 --> 00:20:06,287
Okay, you cook
good techniques for kids.
This is "masterchef."
419
00:20:06,331 --> 00:20:07,622
- No, no.
- Don't be a snob
in front of your mother.
420
00:20:07,624 --> 00:20:09,332
- Sorry, lidia.
- Aarón: Yeah.
421
00:20:09,375 --> 00:20:10,541
Show some gratitude,
young man.
422
00:20:10,543 --> 00:20:13,336
- Aarón: Come on.
- I'm sorry, lidia.
423
00:20:13,338 --> 00:20:15,755
- I created a little...
- Monster.
424
00:20:15,757 --> 00:20:17,715
Lidia:
I can handle.
425
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:21,594
Two aprons down, three to go.
426
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:26,682
- ( cheering )
- go, brazil!
427
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:30,019
Easy-peasy, man! 'ey!
428
00:20:30,021 --> 00:20:32,188
I was the automotive industry
for 36 years.
429
00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:33,689
Time to cook? Never.
430
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:37,735
I'm a baby boomer blooming
in the kitchen now.
431
00:20:37,779 --> 00:20:39,570
Age is just a number.
432
00:20:39,614 --> 00:20:42,740
My name is horacio.
I'm originally from brazil.
433
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:45,818
Currently leaving in nashville,
the party place.
434
00:20:45,828 --> 00:20:48,329
I'm 62 years old, going 63,
435
00:20:48,373 --> 00:20:50,206
But in general
I don't feel my age.
436
00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:53,668
Put me in the party, I'm
the first one to start to dance.
437
00:20:53,711 --> 00:20:56,170
Oh!
438
00:20:56,172 --> 00:20:58,172
But I get the right nowadays
439
00:20:58,174 --> 00:21:01,259
To have a nap
in the afternoon, okay?
440
00:21:02,095 --> 00:21:04,762
I love to cook brazilian food,
441
00:21:04,806 --> 00:21:07,306
Which is rich in flavor
and color,
442
00:21:07,308 --> 00:21:10,142
But I'm not very much
a picasso plater.
443
00:21:10,144 --> 00:21:13,271
I am more like...
444
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,650
Whoo! Whoo!
445
00:21:17,694 --> 00:21:21,362
Hardest part of this dish
is to blend the spices.
446
00:21:21,406 --> 00:21:25,324
The flavors are not right,
it's gonna be just another stew.
447
00:21:25,326 --> 00:21:30,538
All: Six, five, four,
three, two, one.
448
00:21:33,376 --> 00:21:35,459
I nailed it!
449
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:38,170
What I'm nervous about,
450
00:21:38,172 --> 00:21:41,132
The judges are the top
of the galaxy
451
00:21:41,134 --> 00:21:42,883
In the culinary industry.
452
00:21:42,927 --> 00:21:45,511
You have to nail it,
otherwise, you're done.
453
00:21:45,555 --> 00:21:48,681
- Bienvenido, señor.
- Gracias, señor.
454
00:21:48,725 --> 00:21:51,100
- All right.
- I am horacio.
455
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:54,312
Today I bring you one
of the most traditional
456
00:21:54,355 --> 00:21:57,148
Historical dishes in brazil.
457
00:21:57,191 --> 00:22:01,819
This is a moqueca with shrimp,
rice, and a lot of peppers.
458
00:22:01,863 --> 00:22:04,405
- So, shall we?
- Okay, let's do it.
459
00:22:04,449 --> 00:22:05,281
Enjoy.
460
00:22:06,701 --> 00:22:09,327
Listen, visually, it looks
a little bit old fashioned.
461
00:22:09,370 --> 00:22:12,747
The rice in the ring mold
is very evident of
the baby boomers, right?
462
00:22:12,790 --> 00:22:14,415
- From the '70s.
- Yeah.
463
00:22:14,459 --> 00:22:17,209
Did you take the skins
off the peppers?
464
00:22:17,211 --> 00:22:20,504
- No.
- It's so easy
to remove the skin.
465
00:22:20,506 --> 00:22:23,007
It improves the flavor
and the texture threefold.
466
00:22:23,051 --> 00:22:27,261
No, but the peppers, if
you're gonna take off the skin,
you give up the crunchiness.
467
00:22:27,263 --> 00:22:29,638
- But who wants to eat
crunchy peppers, really?
- Both: I do.
468
00:22:29,682 --> 00:22:31,265
- I don't.
- Oh, okay.
469
00:22:32,477 --> 00:22:34,185
- Shall we?
- Aarón and lidia: Yeah.
470
00:22:34,228 --> 00:22:36,187
Gordon: What seasoning
did you use?
471
00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:38,314
Basil, thyme, coriander,
472
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:41,275
Cumin,
and then salt and pepper.
473
00:22:42,612 --> 00:22:44,320
Aarón:
All right, horacio,
474
00:22:44,364 --> 00:22:46,155
You need three yeses
in order to get an apron.
475
00:22:46,199 --> 00:22:48,699
- Lidia, you're up first.
- Lidia: All right.
476
00:22:48,734 --> 00:22:53,204
The flavor is good, and the
shrimp is cooked to perfection.
477
00:22:53,247 --> 00:22:56,040
- For me, it's a yes.
- Thank you so much.
478
00:22:56,042 --> 00:23:01,504
Yeah, the basic flavor is good,
but there's a lot of details
that are unattended to.
479
00:23:01,547 --> 00:23:03,589
For me, the peppers
are incomplete.
480
00:23:03,633 --> 00:23:06,133
The parsley cut is
a little bit amateurish.
481
00:23:06,177 --> 00:23:09,178
So I'm gonna disagree
with my mother
482
00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:10,513
And I am going to say no.
483
00:23:13,184 --> 00:23:15,851
- Aarón, please.
- Aarón: Yeah, this
is loaded with flavor.
484
00:23:15,895 --> 00:23:17,978
You chose
a huge array of spices,
485
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:19,563
But not one
is dominating the other.
486
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:22,691
So that leads me to believe that
you know how to balance flavor.
487
00:23:22,735 --> 00:23:26,612
- So for that reason,
it's a yes.
- Thank you.
488
00:23:26,656 --> 00:23:29,532
So what have so far
is one no, two yeses,
489
00:23:29,534 --> 00:23:33,577
And it's left in the hands
of chef gordon ramsey.
490
00:23:33,621 --> 00:23:36,205
Gordon: Listen, the shrimp
are cooked beautifully.
491
00:23:36,249 --> 00:23:38,707
- Rice is delicious.
- Thank you.
492
00:23:38,793 --> 00:23:41,836
But I just nice
the spices to cook out
so they're just not so raw.
493
00:23:41,921 --> 00:23:46,465
I think you're
a very passionate home cook.
494
00:23:46,551 --> 00:23:50,636
- But can I teach
an old dog new tricks?
- Absolutely.
495
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,721
Please.
496
00:24:05,570 --> 00:24:09,447
I think you're
a very passionate home cook.
497
00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:13,701
- But can I teach
an old dog new tricks?
- Absolutely.
498
00:24:13,744 --> 00:24:15,995
Please.
499
00:24:15,997 --> 00:24:17,580
I like your confidence.
500
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:20,624
It's a yes.
501
00:24:20,626 --> 00:24:23,419
( gasping )
502
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:25,588
- Thank you so much.
- Aarón: Good job, horacio.
503
00:24:25,631 --> 00:24:27,590
- All right, horacio.
- Congratulations.
504
00:24:27,633 --> 00:24:29,884
- This is unbelievable.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
- Congratulations.
505
00:24:29,927 --> 00:24:33,179
Horacio:
This is unbelievable.
506
00:24:33,222 --> 00:24:36,682
I am ready to kick
all the other generations
out of here.
507
00:24:36,726 --> 00:24:41,187
I'm gonna walk through and...
508
00:24:41,230 --> 00:24:42,855
Joey, really? Seriously?
Skin on a pepper?
509
00:24:42,899 --> 00:24:44,607
- Absolutely.
- What's happened to you?
510
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,525
If you like crunch,
you leave the skin on.
511
00:24:46,527 --> 00:24:48,527
It's not about crunch.
It's just the right way
to eat a pepper.
512
00:24:48,571 --> 00:24:50,237
Wow. Okay.
513
00:24:50,281 --> 00:24:54,408
Three aprons down, two to go.
514
00:24:54,452 --> 00:24:56,619
( all cheering )
515
00:24:59,332 --> 00:25:01,790
I am super excited!
Look at me!
516
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,626
I'm a boomer
that knows how to cook!
517
00:25:05,755 --> 00:25:09,423
Everyone thinks that
a baby boomer needs to cook
very unhealthy.
518
00:25:09,425 --> 00:25:11,217
A lot of creams,
a lot of butters.
519
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:14,136
But I don't live like that.
520
00:25:14,138 --> 00:25:15,679
My name is chris,
and my friends call me geags.
521
00:25:15,723 --> 00:25:20,559
I'm 60 years old, and I'm very,
very into health and fitness.
522
00:25:20,561 --> 00:25:24,355
When I was growing up,
I played baseball
and hockey and football,
523
00:25:24,398 --> 00:25:27,066
And I have been a personal
trainer for over 30 years.
524
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:31,862
I eat very healthy,
and I'm not a typical
baby boomer type of cook.
525
00:25:31,864 --> 00:25:33,489
Awesome.
526
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:36,700
- ( all cheering )
- hey!
527
00:25:36,744 --> 00:25:39,161
Whoo!
528
00:25:39,163 --> 00:25:41,288
- Good evening. How are you?
- Hi, chef.
529
00:25:41,332 --> 00:25:43,123
- Your name, sir?
- Hi, chef. Chris geagon.
530
00:25:43,167 --> 00:25:45,125
- They call me geags.
- Both: Geags!
531
00:25:45,169 --> 00:25:47,545
- Geags. I'm a personal trainer.
- You look fantastic.
532
00:25:47,588 --> 00:25:50,673
- I'm 60 years old.
- Out of two judges,
533
00:25:50,716 --> 00:25:52,466
- Which one spends
the most time in the gym?
- You know something?
534
00:25:52,468 --> 00:25:54,426
I think we should
try some push-ups,
and we'll know then.
535
00:25:54,428 --> 00:25:56,428
All right,
you go for it, gordon.
I'll see you soon.
536
00:25:56,472 --> 00:25:58,556
- Come on, man. Come on.
- Wait a minute.
You gotta warm up.
537
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:00,891
- We gotta warm up first.
- Ready?
538
00:26:00,893 --> 00:26:03,143
- Right. Great. Love that.
- Do ten.
539
00:26:03,187 --> 00:26:06,438
- Ten, yeah. You okay?
- Yeah.
540
00:26:06,482 --> 00:26:08,691
Medic, medic!
541
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:11,151
- Yes! Yes!
- Four, three, two, one.
542
00:26:11,195 --> 00:26:12,736
All right, ready?
Here we go.
543
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:14,697
- Okay!
- Come on! Ready? Go!
544
00:26:15,741 --> 00:26:19,493
( grunting )
545
00:26:20,830 --> 00:26:23,330
- Pick it up. Ready?
- ( grunting )
546
00:26:24,917 --> 00:26:27,251
- You okay?
- ( laughing )
547
00:26:29,547 --> 00:26:30,963
- Whoo-ee!
- Right.
548
00:26:31,007 --> 00:26:33,674
Come on, gordon,
put your coat back on.
549
00:26:33,676 --> 00:26:35,593
Man, tell me about the dish.
Where are we going?
550
00:26:35,636 --> 00:26:36,885
I love the fact that
you're cooking the salmon
551
00:26:36,887 --> 00:26:39,430
- Skin side down.
- Gonna do some sautéed spinach
552
00:26:39,473 --> 00:26:41,181
- And some jasmine rice.
- Love that.
553
00:26:41,183 --> 00:26:42,558
- Love that.
- So, healthy.
554
00:26:42,602 --> 00:26:45,185
Yes. You've got literally
minutes to go.
555
00:26:45,229 --> 00:26:47,229
Don't forget
to season the salmon.
556
00:26:47,231 --> 00:26:48,731
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
557
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,152
Thanks, gordon.
Hey, I'm hurting right now.
558
00:26:53,195 --> 00:26:54,486
( gordon laughs )
559
00:26:56,657 --> 00:26:58,699
Yeah!
560
00:26:58,701 --> 00:27:01,285
This is like the greatest time
of my life right now,
561
00:27:01,329 --> 00:27:04,330
And I just feel like
I got the energy
562
00:27:04,373 --> 00:27:06,123
To win this whole competition.
563
00:27:06,167 --> 00:27:11,295
All: Five, four,
three, two, one.
564
00:27:12,548 --> 00:27:14,423
This dish does represent
565
00:27:14,467 --> 00:27:16,467
Who I am
and what I'm all about.
566
00:27:16,510 --> 00:27:19,261
To be honest,
that's what I'm nervous about.
567
00:27:19,305 --> 00:27:21,722
Did I make this dish
too healthy?
568
00:27:21,766 --> 00:27:23,474
My name's chris,
they call me geags,
569
00:27:23,517 --> 00:27:27,561
And the dish
is pan-seared salmon
570
00:27:27,605 --> 00:27:29,313
With a mango chutney,
571
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:32,650
And sautéed spinach
over jasmine rice.
572
00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:34,610
Right, shall we take a look
at this salmon dish?
573
00:27:34,612 --> 00:27:35,653
Okay.
574
00:27:38,616 --> 00:27:41,367
Visually, it looks simple.
575
00:27:41,410 --> 00:27:43,285
So how long did you cook
the salmon for?
576
00:27:43,329 --> 00:27:45,537
Geags:
About eight minutes.
577
00:27:45,581 --> 00:27:48,040
- What seasoning did you use?
- Salt and pepper, chef.
578
00:27:53,547 --> 00:27:54,713
Okay. It looks good.
579
00:28:08,646 --> 00:28:12,106
- Listen, the salmon's
cooked beautifully.
- Thank you, chef.
580
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:13,691
Problem I've got is
there's no seasoning on there.
581
00:28:13,734 --> 00:28:14,900
Lots of pepper, but no salt.
582
00:28:14,902 --> 00:28:17,194
Rice is also under-seasoned.
583
00:28:17,238 --> 00:28:19,154
- Being so healthy sometimes...
- Yeah.
584
00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:21,115
...I tend to under-spice
with the sodium.
585
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,618
No, look, I mean,
there's ways of making
healthy food very delicious.
586
00:28:24,662 --> 00:28:27,454
With that being said,
everything's technically sound.
587
00:28:27,498 --> 00:28:31,250
- Thank you, chef.
- The mango and the salmon
are good enough taste for me
588
00:28:31,335 --> 00:28:32,876
Where it's gonna make me
remember it,
589
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,336
And the cook on the salmon
590
00:28:34,380 --> 00:28:36,296
Gives me enough
confidence to say yes.
591
00:28:36,298 --> 00:28:38,674
- Thank you, chef.
- I'm gonna be honest,
592
00:28:38,676 --> 00:28:41,552
I don't like the dish
because it's too simple.
593
00:28:41,595 --> 00:28:46,265
And for that reason,
it's a no from me.
594
00:28:46,308 --> 00:28:49,727
- Lidia?
- I would say, um,
595
00:28:49,770 --> 00:28:52,312
- I like it.
- Thank you.
596
00:28:52,314 --> 00:28:55,190
There's good elements.
I like the flavoring.
597
00:28:55,192 --> 00:28:57,526
And you brought it
sort of from the boomers
598
00:28:57,570 --> 00:29:01,822
Into more contemporary
just by the mango chutney.
599
00:29:01,866 --> 00:29:05,576
- So I will say yes.
- Thank you, chef.
600
00:29:05,661 --> 00:29:07,453
That's two yeses, one no.
601
00:29:07,496 --> 00:29:10,622
Your fate lies in joe's hands.
Joe, please.
602
00:29:10,666 --> 00:29:11,957
Hmm.
603
00:29:13,627 --> 00:29:16,879
So this dish,
I think it's a lot like you.
604
00:29:16,881 --> 00:29:18,672
It's kind of honest.
Clean eating, obviously.
605
00:29:18,716 --> 00:29:24,470
So the question becomes then
is this dish just simply bland
606
00:29:24,513 --> 00:29:28,182
Or is it simply perfect
for what it is?
607
00:29:28,225 --> 00:29:31,310
I promise you,
I won't let you down.
608
00:29:46,076 --> 00:29:48,952
So this dish,
I think it's a lot like you.
609
00:29:48,954 --> 00:29:52,247
It's kind of honest.
Clean eating, obviously.
You look good for your age.
610
00:29:52,333 --> 00:29:57,503
So the question becomes then
is this dish just simply bland
611
00:29:57,546 --> 00:30:01,173
Or is it simply perfect
for what it is?
612
00:30:01,175 --> 00:30:03,592
I promise you.
I won't let you down.
613
00:30:09,767 --> 00:30:10,808
I won't let you down either.
614
00:30:10,851 --> 00:30:13,477
- It's a yes for me.
- Yes.
615
00:30:15,231 --> 00:30:18,482
- Happy?
- Ecstatic.
616
00:30:21,195 --> 00:30:22,861
Go out there
and do 100 push-ups.
617
00:30:22,863 --> 00:30:25,531
- ( laughs )
- it looks good on you.
618
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:28,909
( music playing )
619
00:30:28,911 --> 00:30:31,995
( all cheering )
620
00:30:33,499 --> 00:30:35,582
I got an apron.
621
00:30:35,584 --> 00:30:38,669
I'm gonna be moving mountains
to show chef ramsay
622
00:30:38,712 --> 00:30:42,589
That this new England man
can cook some good food.
623
00:30:42,633 --> 00:30:44,424
You better watch out.
624
00:30:49,765 --> 00:30:51,723
All you, buddy. All you.
625
00:30:51,767 --> 00:30:54,268
Boomers are
the best generation because
626
00:30:54,311 --> 00:30:57,187
We've got life skills,
and we've seen it all,
627
00:30:57,231 --> 00:31:02,276
And we've learned from human
beings and not the phone.
628
00:31:04,113 --> 00:31:06,697
- You got this.
- Woohoo!
629
00:31:11,829 --> 00:31:14,454
- Well, hello there!
- It looks like
we got a cowboy here.
630
00:31:14,498 --> 00:31:18,792
Yes, sir! My real name's alan,
but everyone calls me cowboy al.
631
00:31:18,794 --> 00:31:19,960
- Cowboy al.
- Hi.
632
00:31:20,004 --> 00:31:21,169
- Ma'am.
- How you doing?
633
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:22,170
Pleasure to meet you.
634
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:23,171
What are you making?
635
00:31:23,173 --> 00:31:24,256
I'm doing a roast venison
636
00:31:24,300 --> 00:31:25,757
With a cumberland sauce,
637
00:31:25,801 --> 00:31:27,926
Heirloom tomatoes, asparagus,
638
00:31:27,928 --> 00:31:30,178
And whipped mashed potatoes.
639
00:31:30,222 --> 00:31:32,764
Now venison can be
very tricky, right?
640
00:31:32,808 --> 00:31:34,558
'cause if you overcook it,
it's kind of mealy and iron-y.
641
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,269
- Leather.
- You know the risk
you're taking here, right?
642
00:31:37,271 --> 00:31:39,396
- Yes, sir.
- When you cook, you use
all of your senses.
643
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,524
I smell something. Is that okay?
Do you smell-- is it over?
644
00:31:42,568 --> 00:31:45,193
- What, you think it's burnt?
Turn that over.
- Yes, ma'am.
645
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:47,487
- You burned the venison. See?
- You've gotta use your nose.
646
00:31:47,531 --> 00:31:49,573
- Use all your senses.
- She knows. There's always
another piece, cowboy.
647
00:31:49,617 --> 00:31:52,326
You got enough to rustle up
another venison loin.
648
00:31:52,411 --> 00:31:53,368
- Do it right.
- Yeah, man.
649
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:55,162
Al: I'm gonna do another one.
650
00:31:55,205 --> 00:31:57,122
- All right.
- Yeah.
651
00:31:57,166 --> 00:31:58,624
Al: I'm behind schedule now.
652
00:31:58,667 --> 00:32:00,834
- Giddy up,
and go get 'em, cowboy.
- Okay.
653
00:32:00,836 --> 00:32:01,793
- All right.
- Thank you.
654
00:32:01,837 --> 00:32:02,836
You got it. Yeah.
655
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,465
( all cheering )
656
00:32:06,508 --> 00:32:08,300
Al: What's my time?
657
00:32:08,344 --> 00:32:10,469
Eight minutes?
What the heck?
658
00:32:10,512 --> 00:32:11,637
Okay.
659
00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:15,307
Come on, buddy.
Come on, al, you can do this.
660
00:32:15,351 --> 00:32:16,600
Just get it on the plate.
661
00:32:18,896 --> 00:32:21,521
- Let's go. Chop, chop.
- Al: All right.
662
00:32:21,565 --> 00:32:25,150
All: Five, four,
three, two, one.
663
00:32:25,194 --> 00:32:26,860
Where's my asparagus?
664
00:32:26,904 --> 00:32:28,236
Aww!
665
00:32:29,907 --> 00:32:31,448
( bleep )
666
00:32:31,533 --> 00:32:32,366
It's all right. Whoo!
667
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:34,117
I had to start my venison over,
668
00:32:34,161 --> 00:32:36,119
But of the farm, they say,
669
00:32:36,163 --> 00:32:37,871
"suck it up, buttercup."
670
00:32:37,915 --> 00:32:40,457
And it turned out excellent.
671
00:32:40,501 --> 00:32:42,668
Welcome.
672
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:46,338
My name's cowboy al.
673
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:48,298
Today I've prepared for you
674
00:32:48,342 --> 00:32:50,509
A roast venison
with mashed potatoes,
675
00:32:50,552 --> 00:32:54,304
Sautéed mushrooms,
and heirloom tomatoes.
676
00:32:54,348 --> 00:32:55,555
It's time to taste.
What do you say?
677
00:32:55,599 --> 00:32:57,432
- Lidia: Oh, boy. Let's do it.
- Gordon: Yes!
678
00:33:00,229 --> 00:33:02,813
- Joe: Visuals, gordon?
- The venison looks good.
679
00:33:02,856 --> 00:33:05,565
I love the sear on it,
but I'm a little bit confused.
680
00:33:05,609 --> 00:33:08,860
You've sort of
piped those potatoes like
little chocolate kisses.
681
00:33:08,904 --> 00:33:11,154
And then the sliced
raw tomatoes...
682
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:12,280
- Yes.
- ...It's not the kind of thing
683
00:33:12,282 --> 00:33:15,325
You serve
with a loin of venison.
684
00:33:15,369 --> 00:33:16,702
Um...
685
00:33:17,830 --> 00:33:19,329
No, sir.
686
00:33:19,331 --> 00:33:21,623
So the cook of the venison,
cowboy al,
687
00:33:21,667 --> 00:33:24,459
- What have we gone for?
- I've gone for rare.
688
00:33:26,171 --> 00:33:27,587
- Medium rare.
- Yeah.
689
00:33:34,263 --> 00:33:35,929
Joe: All right, cowboy al,
690
00:33:35,931 --> 00:33:38,724
You need three yeses
to receive the apron.
691
00:33:38,726 --> 00:33:41,101
- Lidia, what do you think?
- The venison is cooked nice.
692
00:33:41,145 --> 00:33:44,896
You know, for me, let me
tell you, I love my tomatoes,
but they don't go.
693
00:33:44,898 --> 00:33:46,523
So that's an off-put
for me right away.
694
00:33:46,567 --> 00:33:49,651
The rest, I would like
a little more flavor.
695
00:33:49,695 --> 00:33:53,155
- Joe: Yeah.
- So, for me it's a no.
I'm sorry.
696
00:33:53,198 --> 00:33:54,448
Cowboy al,
look, I'm from texas,
697
00:33:54,491 --> 00:33:56,324
So I appreciate a cowboy
more than anybody.
698
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:58,410
But when it comes down
to pure cooking,
699
00:33:58,454 --> 00:34:01,121
I think your lack
of experience in the kitchen
is really showing here.
700
00:34:01,165 --> 00:34:05,333
You've made some meat
and potatoes with some
very lackluster mushrooms.
701
00:34:05,335 --> 00:34:08,670
There's just enough here,
so I'm saying no.
702
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:12,299
Unfortunately, that's two nos.
I'm sorry about that.
703
00:34:12,301 --> 00:34:13,717
- Lidia: Thank you.
- Take care.
704
00:34:13,761 --> 00:34:15,469
- All right.
- Take care.
705
00:34:15,471 --> 00:34:18,930
( music playing )
706
00:34:18,932 --> 00:34:20,474
Eh!
707
00:34:21,477 --> 00:34:25,103
- Nothing!
- I'm so proud of you.
708
00:34:25,147 --> 00:34:27,147
I really wanted this apron.
709
00:34:27,191 --> 00:34:28,857
And of course
it's a major disappointment,
710
00:34:28,901 --> 00:34:32,694
But isn't the last
you've seen of cowboy al.
711
00:34:32,738 --> 00:34:35,155
So "ma'am" to all the ladies
712
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,867
And "yah-hee!"
to all the gentlemen.
713
00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:41,244
- What a shame.
- Yeah, poor thing.
714
00:34:41,288 --> 00:34:43,371
Joe: It looks like
it was plated off buffet line.
715
00:34:43,415 --> 00:34:44,956
- It's just not the level
we're looking for.
- Yeah.
716
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,500
- I feel bad.
- Why do you feel bad?
717
00:34:46,543 --> 00:34:49,503
- What's happened to you?
- He feels for people.
718
00:34:49,546 --> 00:34:52,631
- I'm a latin romantic.
- Keep on being sensible.
719
00:34:52,674 --> 00:34:54,091
- ( muttering )
- gordon: Oh, my god.
720
00:35:03,769 --> 00:35:06,186
( cheering )
721
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:07,729
Chris, you got it. Yes!
722
00:35:07,773 --> 00:35:10,565
Oh, man, boomers, rock.
I mean, are you kidding me?
723
00:35:10,609 --> 00:35:12,025
We rule the world.
724
00:35:15,531 --> 00:35:17,405
I'm christopher. I'm 59.
725
00:35:17,449 --> 00:35:20,700
I'm just so proud
to represent my generation.
726
00:35:20,744 --> 00:35:23,286
And then have the judges
and gordon taste my food,
727
00:35:23,330 --> 00:35:26,289
I'm terrified,
but I'm looking forward to it.
728
00:35:26,333 --> 00:35:29,584
Christopher: My journey
to the masterchef kitchen
729
00:35:29,628 --> 00:35:32,254
Took a big bump about a year ago
730
00:35:32,256 --> 00:35:36,675
When I was diagnosed
with prostate cancer.
731
00:35:36,677 --> 00:35:40,345
I had to go through
six months of chemo,
732
00:35:40,389 --> 00:35:43,265
But I got my hair back,
so I got my confidence back.
733
00:35:43,308 --> 00:35:45,350
I'm back, baby.
Yeah, this is all about
734
00:35:45,394 --> 00:35:48,353
All kinds of new beginnings,
so it's very special.
735
00:35:50,524 --> 00:35:51,857
( all cheering )
736
00:35:51,900 --> 00:35:53,150
Uh-oh. Here we go.
737
00:35:53,152 --> 00:35:55,152
Let's go. It smells good!
738
00:35:55,195 --> 00:35:57,696
- Whoo!
- Welcome. First name?
739
00:35:57,698 --> 00:35:59,531
- Thank you. Christopher.
- Christopher. Good to see you.
740
00:35:59,575 --> 00:36:01,616
- Nice to meet you, señor.
- Nice to meet you.
741
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:03,160
Welcome. As a baby boomer,
what's so special
742
00:36:03,162 --> 00:36:04,327
About this dish,
and what are you doing?
743
00:36:04,329 --> 00:36:06,454
I'm doing
a japanese fried chicken
744
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:09,583
And a special rice
that's also japanese
745
00:36:09,626 --> 00:36:11,293
With root vegetables
and shiitake mushrooms.
746
00:36:11,295 --> 00:36:13,253
I'm half japanese.
I was born in japan.
747
00:36:13,297 --> 00:36:15,589
I love the culture.
I love the people.
748
00:36:15,632 --> 00:36:17,757
- I love thank you.
- Would you mind explaining
who's with you tonight?
749
00:36:17,843 --> 00:36:20,594
- So I met this man a year ago.
- A year ago?
750
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:22,137
- His name's rod.
- Rod.
751
00:36:22,139 --> 00:36:24,222
- He's my birth father.
- Birth father?
752
00:36:24,266 --> 00:36:26,600
- Yes. I was in japan
when I was in the service.
- Wow.
753
00:36:26,602 --> 00:36:30,729
About a year ago, my other son
found him on 23andme.
754
00:36:30,731 --> 00:36:33,106
- That's amazing.
- So to be able to connect
at this time...
755
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:36,318
- With your son.
- ...It's the most emotional
thing that's ever happened.
756
00:36:36,361 --> 00:36:38,445
Congratulations.
And what does it mean
757
00:36:38,488 --> 00:36:40,447
To be here tonight
competing in "masterchef"?
758
00:36:40,490 --> 00:36:43,491
It's surreal.
Meeting you guys is amazing.
759
00:36:43,493 --> 00:36:45,535
- You look much different.
- ( laughter )
760
00:36:45,570 --> 00:36:47,537
I look much different?
In what way?
761
00:36:47,581 --> 00:36:49,414
You're much better-looking
in person.
762
00:36:49,458 --> 00:36:52,167
Oh, in person? Well, thank you.
This sounds amazing.
763
00:36:52,169 --> 00:36:55,879
- Let's do this justice, okay?
- Absolutely. That's the dream.
764
00:36:55,923 --> 00:36:57,422
- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.
765
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,134
- Oh, how beautiful.
- Oh, my gosh.
766
00:37:01,136 --> 00:37:03,553
Growing up, I knew who
my natural mom was,
767
00:37:03,597 --> 00:37:06,556
But just out of respect
for my adoptive parents,
768
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,267
I never looked
for my bio dad.
769
00:37:09,311 --> 00:37:13,104
And the fact that
I'm gonna actually have my dad
cheering me on,
770
00:37:13,148 --> 00:37:14,981
I'm just so grateful
to be here today
771
00:37:15,025 --> 00:37:16,650
And be able to have
this opportunity.
772
00:37:16,693 --> 00:37:19,194
That looks so good.
773
00:37:19,238 --> 00:37:24,532
All: Five, four,
three, two, one.
774
00:37:25,869 --> 00:37:27,744
My dish today
is all about my roots
775
00:37:27,788 --> 00:37:30,330
And new beginnings.
776
00:37:31,667 --> 00:37:34,167
Most people don't get
this opportunity,
777
00:37:34,211 --> 00:37:37,712
And I can't wait to show
those guys what I can do.
778
00:37:37,756 --> 00:37:39,714
Welcome, sir.
779
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,675
My gosh.
780
00:37:44,179 --> 00:37:47,639
I'm christopher,
and I've made you
a chicken karaage,
781
00:37:47,683 --> 00:37:50,058
Which is a japanese
fried chicken with a yuzu mayo,
782
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:54,145
- Gomoku rice, and then some
pickled red dragon fruit.
- Love that.
783
00:37:54,189 --> 00:37:56,398
- Shall we? Wow.
- Okay.
784
00:37:58,443 --> 00:38:00,235
Visually,
it looks traditional.
785
00:38:00,279 --> 00:38:02,320
I love the color
of that fried chicken.
786
00:38:02,364 --> 00:38:04,864
It looks crisp. That takes me
right back to japan.
787
00:38:04,866 --> 00:38:07,742
And the lemon slices
just confirm that
you're a baby boomer.
788
00:38:09,496 --> 00:38:10,662
Joe: Should we try it?
789
00:38:20,465 --> 00:38:22,007
Oh, my gosh.
790
00:38:29,683 --> 00:38:34,519
Christopher, you're gonna need
three yeses in order
to garner an apron.
791
00:38:34,563 --> 00:38:37,689
- Um, joe?
- Look, I found it to be
very, very fulfilling.
792
00:38:37,691 --> 00:38:41,026
I love the crispiness
of the chicken,
the richness of the rice.
793
00:38:41,069 --> 00:38:43,445
It's comfort food
that I want to eat.
794
00:38:43,447 --> 00:38:46,114
- So for me, it's easy.
It's a big yes.
- Thank you, joe.
795
00:38:46,116 --> 00:38:50,368
Well, I love the rice.
I think the rice could be
almost the meal by itself.
796
00:38:50,412 --> 00:38:53,705
- Thank you.
- And the chicken might be a
little bit on the bland side.
797
00:38:53,749 --> 00:38:57,500
But crispy and nice acidity.
I enjoyed the dish.
798
00:38:57,544 --> 00:39:02,297
- For me as well, it's a yes.
- I love the bastianiches.
799
00:39:02,341 --> 00:39:05,300
All right,
so we have two yeses.
800
00:39:05,344 --> 00:39:08,678
You need one more yes
to garner that incredible apron.
801
00:39:08,722 --> 00:39:11,431
- Gordon?
- Oh, it's a tough one.
802
00:39:11,475 --> 00:39:14,184
Um, listen,
the chicken's crispy.
803
00:39:14,227 --> 00:39:15,560
I'm so glad you used the thigh.
804
00:39:15,604 --> 00:39:17,771
It does need more seasoning,
by the way.
805
00:39:17,814 --> 00:39:19,898
But the rice is delicious.
806
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:22,400
I've got so much respect
for you,
807
00:39:22,444 --> 00:39:24,402
But the competition
this year is off the charts.
808
00:39:24,446 --> 00:39:29,699
Um, just give a moment,
will you, please?
809
00:39:29,743 --> 00:39:30,992
Excuse me.
810
00:39:33,372 --> 00:39:35,914
- Where's he going?
- ( applause )
811
00:39:35,916 --> 00:39:38,416
That's a tough one right there.
812
00:39:38,460 --> 00:39:40,335
- Did you taste the dish?
- No.
813
00:39:40,379 --> 00:39:42,504
Chicken's a little bit
under-seasoned,
814
00:39:42,547 --> 00:39:44,422
But the potential
is definitely there.
815
00:39:44,424 --> 00:39:47,675
However, this is
a very tough competition.
816
00:39:49,137 --> 00:39:51,429
This is too much.
817
00:39:53,308 --> 00:39:54,724
Christopher.
818
00:39:58,730 --> 00:40:00,438
Uh, two secs, please.
819
00:40:00,482 --> 00:40:02,732
( sighs )
820
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,406
Um, listen,
the dish has got potential,
821
00:40:09,449 --> 00:40:12,867
But the standards this year
are higher than ever before.
822
00:40:12,953 --> 00:40:16,287
- So I've got news for you...
- Yes, sir.
823
00:40:16,331 --> 00:40:17,747
...But it's not coming from me.
824
00:40:24,506 --> 00:40:26,339
( all cheering )
825
00:40:26,383 --> 00:40:28,758
Well done.
826
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,510
Congratulations.
827
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:33,555
Amazing.
828
00:40:33,598 --> 00:40:35,723
If I could describe this day
in one word,
829
00:40:35,767 --> 00:40:37,517
It would be "unbelievable."
830
00:40:37,561 --> 00:40:40,437
Well done. Amazing.
831
00:40:43,233 --> 00:40:45,316
- What happened?
- He convinced you?
832
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,318
- You got him? Aww, man!
- Yes. He's got it.
833
00:40:47,362 --> 00:40:49,279
- Good for you.
- The rice was delicious,
by the way.
834
00:40:49,322 --> 00:40:52,490
- The rice was very good.
- I actually preferred
the rice over the chicken.
835
00:40:52,534 --> 00:40:53,741
- I like it all.
- Yeah.
836
00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:57,537
I don't know why I'm--
837
00:40:57,581 --> 00:41:00,540
Just, like,
there's just so much going on.
838
00:41:00,584 --> 00:41:02,417
My gosh. This is real.
839
00:41:02,461 --> 00:41:03,918
To new beginnings.
840
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:05,211
Lidia, what an amazing night.
841
00:41:05,255 --> 00:41:06,463
- Yes.
- Thanks, guys.
842
00:41:06,506 --> 00:41:08,214
- Thank you so much, my darling.
- Thank you.
843
00:41:08,258 --> 00:41:11,509
You know, I think that
the winner might just be
844
00:41:11,553 --> 00:41:14,220
- From the baby boomer
generation.
- Wow.
845
00:41:14,306 --> 00:41:16,723
- So be prepared for that.
- Uh-oh.
846
00:41:16,766 --> 00:41:19,476
Gordon: Next time on
"masterchef: Generations"...
847
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:24,230
Cooking tonight is gen z,
ladies and gentlemen!
848
00:41:24,232 --> 00:41:27,192
- Let's go!
- ...The audition
rounds continue...
849
00:41:27,235 --> 00:41:29,861
Please welcome nick digiovanni.
850
00:41:29,905 --> 00:41:32,780
This isn't online anymore.
This is not on your phone.
This is real life.
851
00:41:32,866 --> 00:41:37,076
...As gen z battles it out
for a white apron.
852
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,788
To the other generations,
I wanna say I love you,
but watch out.
853
00:41:40,832 --> 00:41:44,250
Everything I make,
I make for the camera first
and myself second.
854
00:41:44,294 --> 00:41:46,252
- Is it giving chef?
- It's giving chef.
855
00:41:46,296 --> 00:41:49,255
All those flavors are there.
There's no two ways about that.
856
00:41:49,299 --> 00:41:50,798
I think there's so much more
to come from you.
857
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,550
The lamb is the star
of this dish.
858
00:41:52,594 --> 00:41:54,802
Those indian spices that
you have in there, delicious.
859
00:41:54,846 --> 00:41:57,347
There's just
some amateur moves here
860
00:41:57,390 --> 00:41:58,681
That don't give me
a lot of confidence.
861
00:41:58,725 --> 00:42:00,642
Maybe this is just so gen z
862
00:42:00,685 --> 00:42:02,227
That I don't get it.
