I do have pancetta,

to make this pancetta

can be sold.

00:11:55,758 --> 00:11:57,000
What's not to like, right?

344
00:11:57,103 --> 00:11:59,137
Everything's gonna be perfect
soon as we're done.

345
00:11:59,241 --> 00:12:01,275
Hyah, come on!

346
00:12:01,379 --> 00:12:02,689
Giddyup, giddyup!

347
00:12:02,793 --> 00:12:03,758
Hyah!

348
00:12:03,862 --> 00:12:05,482
Oh, man, I feel
so bad for you, dude.

349
00:12:06,827 --> 00:12:07,724
[ Groans ]

350
00:12:07,827 --> 00:12:08,931
This freakin' hat --
I swear to God.

351
00:12:09,034 --> 00:12:10,724
CHEF BARRET: The way I do
my Caesar dressing --

352
00:12:10,827 --> 00:12:12,862
I'm squeezing my lemons.
I'm getting my lemon zest.

353
00:12:12,965 --> 00:12:14,689
I grab the garlic.
I add a little bit of sour cream

354
00:12:14,793 --> 00:12:16,310
to try to balance it out
a little bit,

355
00:12:16,413 --> 00:12:17,758
oil, dry mustard, and I get it

356
00:12:17,862 --> 00:12:18,965
to the consistency
that I need it.

357
00:12:19,068 --> 00:12:20,482
It tastes like Caesar dressing.

358
00:12:20,586 --> 00:12:22,068
I think I'm good to go.

359
00:12:22,172 --> 00:12:23,206
Are my five minutes up?

360
00:12:23,310 --> 00:12:24,448
You got a minute
and a half remaining.

361
00:12:24,551 --> 00:12:25,758
[ Sighing ] Okay.

362
00:12:25,862 --> 00:12:27,758
This sabotage is killing me.

363
00:12:27,862 --> 00:12:30,655
This is almost like being
in a woman's shoe store.

364
00:12:30,758 --> 00:12:31,896
Time slows down.

365
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,275
I know when I took my chicken
off the heat,

366
00:12:34,379 --> 00:12:35,413
it was really raw.

367
00:12:35,517 --> 00:12:36,965
I am totally screwed right now!

368
00:12:37,068 --> 00:12:38,758
Cecil, you chopping away
or what?

369
00:12:38,862 --> 00:12:41,103
I already told you.
I don't need knives, man.

370
00:12:41,206 --> 00:12:44,068
Chef Frank give me the sabotage
where I can't use any knives.

371
00:12:44,172 --> 00:12:45,448
ALTON:
Only a person with no knives

372
00:12:45,551 --> 00:12:46,758
would be crazy enough
to try that,

373
00:12:46,862 --> 00:12:47,965
which, by the way,
is working.

374
00:12:48,068 --> 00:12:49,448
It's working, Alton.

375
00:12:49,551 --> 00:12:51,206
But I'm a little worried
about the chicken.
Where's your chicken?

376
00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:53,241
CHEF CECIL: I need to get
this chicken off the grill.

377
00:12:53,344 --> 00:12:56,034
I shred the chicken,
and it looks beautiful.

378
00:12:56,137 --> 00:12:58,137
2...1.

379
00:12:58,241 --> 00:12:59,689
Ooh, she's back
in the game!

380
00:12:59,793 --> 00:13:01,689
CHEF KRYSTAL:
My five minutes are up.

381
00:13:01,793 --> 00:13:04,034
I run back in.
I slice my chicken.

382
00:13:04,137 --> 00:13:05,758
It's more like a butcher job.

383
00:13:05,862 --> 00:13:06,965
I need to cut it down,

384
00:13:07,068 --> 00:13:08,965
get it cooked
as quickly as possible.

385
00:13:09,068 --> 00:13:10,310
I throw it on the grill.

386
00:13:10,413 --> 00:13:13,034
I get my croutons out --
luckily, those didn't burn --

387
00:13:13,137 --> 00:13:14,965
and I just go for my romaine.

388
00:13:15,068 --> 00:13:16,034
Aah!

389
00:13:16,137 --> 00:13:17,517
My romaine looks pretty wilted,

390
00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:19,448
and I'm just thinking
in my head, like,

391
00:13:19,551 --> 00:13:22,137
"Holy crap, I'm gonna have
wilted romaine and raw chicken,

392
00:13:22,241 --> 00:13:23,862
and I have no cheese!"

393
00:13:23,965 --> 00:13:25,482
I'm done.

394
00:13:25,586 --> 00:13:27,551
Chefs, salads will be served
in three minutes!

395
00:13:27,655 --> 00:13:28,724
Three minutes remaining!

396
00:13:28,827 --> 00:13:30,344
Come on, Spartacus,
let's do this!

397
00:13:30,448 --> 00:13:31,965
I don't quit.
I don't give up.

398
00:13:32,068 --> 00:13:33,758
I'll fight until I die.

399
00:13:34,827 --> 00:13:36,931
Aah. [winces]
I'm burning my finger.

400
00:13:37,034 --> 00:13:37,896
Time's running out.

401
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,206
I'm not even using anything

402
00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:41,000
to grab the hot pancetta
out of the pan.

403
00:13:41,103 --> 00:13:42,241
Aah!
Burning, burning!

404
00:13:42,344 --> 00:13:43,275
I don't have time to stop

405
00:13:43,379 --> 00:13:45,344
and wheel this thing over
to get them.

406
00:13:45,448 --> 00:13:47,000
I might not even get
this dish on the plate.

407
00:13:47,103 --> 00:13:51,793
5, 4, 3, 2, 1...

408
00:13:51,896 --> 00:13:54,275
Time's up!
Food down, hands up!

409
00:13:54,379 --> 00:13:55,448
Back away from your board...[ Sighs ]

410
00:13:55,551 --> 00:13:56,896
...if you can.

411
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
CHEF BARRET: It was a lot harder
than I thought it was gonna be.

412
00:13:59,103 --> 00:14:00,689
I'm not used to standing
in one position when I cook,

413
00:14:00,793 --> 00:14:01,931
and I hate this helmet.

414
00:14:02,034 --> 00:14:03,655
You know how long it takes me
to do my hair?

415
00:14:07,482 --> 00:14:09,241
So, chefs -- You can put
your hands down.

416
00:14:09,344 --> 00:14:10,551
It's not a holdup.

417
00:14:10,655 --> 00:14:13,517
[ Laughs ]Allow me to introduce
our judge for the day.

418
00:14:13,620 --> 00:14:15,068
This is
Mr. Simon Majumdar.

419
00:14:15,172 --> 00:14:16,827
He is a food critic,
a scholar.

420
00:14:16,931 --> 00:14:18,655
Simon, today,
the first course --

421
00:14:18,758 --> 00:14:20,000
chicken Caesar salad.

422
00:14:20,103 --> 00:14:21,551
Hail, Caesar salad.

423
00:14:21,655 --> 00:14:23,241
Hail, Caesar salad,
yeah.Love it.

424
00:14:23,344 --> 00:14:25,000
Good,
I hope you like it.

425
00:14:25,103 --> 00:14:27,241
Simon has been locked away
in a soundproof area.

426
00:14:27,344 --> 00:14:29,724
He has no idea
what you have done to each other

427
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:31,862
and what sabotages
you may have endured,

428
00:14:31,965 --> 00:14:33,068
and he does not care.

429
00:14:33,172 --> 00:14:35,965
In fact, he only cares
about three things. Tell them.

430
00:14:36,068 --> 00:14:38,275
Does it taste great,
does it look great,

431
00:14:38,379 --> 00:14:41,310
and does it remind me of
a terrific chicken Caesar salad?

432
00:14:41,413 --> 00:14:42,724
Let's go.

433
00:14:44,482 --> 00:14:45,862
Simon, please say hello
to Chef Barret.

434
00:14:45,965 --> 00:14:46,965
Chef,
good to meet you.Barret, Simon.

435
00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:48,000
Pleasure.

436
00:14:48,103 --> 00:14:49,758
Please tell Simon
about your dish.

437
00:14:49,862 --> 00:14:51,551
This is
a not-so-chicken Caesar.

438
00:14:51,655 --> 00:14:53,827
My grandmother used to make
the bacon pieces

439
00:14:53,931 --> 00:14:55,206
into chicken nuggets,

440
00:14:55,310 --> 00:14:57,689
and that's the way I wanted
to make it for you today.

441
00:14:57,793 --> 00:14:59,758
CHEF BARRET:
I'm completely making
this story up right now.

442
00:14:59,862 --> 00:15:01,551
I don't even remember
eating anything

443
00:15:01,655 --> 00:15:03,172
from my grandma
in my entire life.

444
00:15:03,275 --> 00:15:05,896
The absence of chicken
is pretty obvious.

445
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
The presentation is
a little bit rough and ready.

446
00:15:09,103 --> 00:15:10,655
It kind of looks like
you chopped everything

447
00:15:10,758 --> 00:15:11,551
with that hair of yours.

448
00:15:11,655 --> 00:15:12,551
[ Laughs ]

449
00:15:12,655 --> 00:15:14,586
Talking of the dressing --

450
00:15:14,689 --> 00:15:16,793
It's more of a gloop
than it is a dressing.

451
00:15:16,896 --> 00:15:19,241
Having said that,
it's actually really good gloop.

452
00:15:19,344 --> 00:15:21,000
One of the things
of a good Caesar sauce

453
00:15:21,103 --> 00:15:23,137
is that saltiness that
you would get from anchovies,

454
00:15:23,241 --> 00:15:24,620
and the bacon does
give it that.

455
00:15:24,724 --> 00:15:26,000
Thank you very much,
Chef.Thank you.

456
00:15:26,103 --> 00:15:27,344
Let's move on down the line,
shall we?

457
00:15:27,448 --> 00:15:28,896
Chef Cecil,
please tell Simon

458
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,896
about your take
on chicken Caesar salad.

459
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,862
CHEF CECIL:
What I have for you today

460
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:34,655
is a chopped
chicken Caesar salad

461
00:15:34,758 --> 00:15:36,310
with crispy kale chips
on top.

462
00:15:36,413 --> 00:15:38,551
Chef, I actually think
it looks rather good.

463
00:15:38,655 --> 00:15:40,344
I mean, it's
a little bit rustic,

464
00:15:40,448 --> 00:15:42,241
but I actually think
it's rather appealing,

465
00:15:42,344 --> 00:15:43,862
and I love
these kale chips on top.

466
00:15:43,965 --> 00:15:45,965
I think they're a really
good idea to add texture,

467
00:15:46,068 --> 00:15:48,517
and I love a good crunch.

468
00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:49,862
The chicken's
cooked perfectly.

469
00:15:49,965 --> 00:15:51,517
You got really good seasoning
on there,

470
00:15:51,620 --> 00:15:53,758
got just the right amount
of cheese on there.

471
00:15:53,862 --> 00:15:55,931
It's a little bit more shredded
than I would like,

472
00:15:56,034 --> 00:15:57,517
and I think putting
the hot chicken

473
00:15:57,620 --> 00:15:58,586
on top of the salad --

474
00:15:58,689 --> 00:16:00,965
you can see it's all got
a bit floppy.

475
00:16:01,068 --> 00:16:02,517
Thanks, Chef.Thank you, Chef.

476
00:16:04,896 --> 00:16:06,068
Chef Krystal,
tell your tale.

477
00:16:06,172 --> 00:16:08,379
This is
Mommy's Caesar salad --

478
00:16:08,482 --> 00:16:10,344
lettuce,
creamy dressing,

479
00:16:10,448 --> 00:16:12,862
beautifully cooked chicken
with lemon juice on top.

480
00:16:12,965 --> 00:16:15,068
My kids love lemon.

481
00:16:17,103 --> 00:16:19,586
I would like to see
some flakes of cheese on there.

482
00:16:19,689 --> 00:16:22,034
I think it is missing
one of the key elements.

483
00:16:22,137 --> 00:16:24,068
I can also see that you've
grilled some of the leaves.

484
00:16:24,172 --> 00:16:25,137
They've wilted a bit.

485
00:16:25,241 --> 00:16:27,689
The chicken,
it's a tiny bit clunky.

486
00:16:27,793 --> 00:16:29,551
This is more
like a chopped salad

487
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,103
than a chicken Caesar salad.

488
00:16:32,517 --> 00:16:33,827
The chicken's really good,

489
00:16:33,931 --> 00:16:35,655
and I think just
with a few drops of lemon --

490
00:16:35,758 --> 00:16:36,827
That's a very smart addition.

491
00:16:36,931 --> 00:16:38,310
It just wakes up
all the flavors.

492
00:16:38,413 --> 00:16:40,206
The croutons are nice
and crunchy.

493
00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:41,482
It's a very simple take.

494
00:16:41,586 --> 00:16:43,344
Mm-hmm.But it's not bad at all.

495
00:16:43,448 --> 00:16:45,034
Thank you, ma'am.
Let's move on.Thank you.

496
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:47,310
Chef Frank,
please tell Simon

497
00:16:47,413 --> 00:16:49,172
about this immense platter
of salad.

498
00:16:49,275 --> 00:16:51,551
CHEF FRANK: I lightly grilled
the romaine hearts,

499
00:16:51,655 --> 00:16:54,068
smoked pico de gallo,
toasted cumin on the croutons,

500
00:16:54,172 --> 00:16:55,827
some lime juice,
lots of cilantro,

501
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:57,379
and lots of love.
Enjoy.

502
00:16:57,482 --> 00:16:59,655
Chef, I think the term
"lightly grilled"

503
00:16:59,758 --> 00:17:01,758
is the only use
of the word "light"

504
00:17:01,862 --> 00:17:03,310
that we're gonna get
with this dish

505
00:17:03,413 --> 00:17:05,620
because I don't know whether
I should eat it wrestle it.

506
00:17:05,724 --> 00:17:07,931
There's so much
going on here.

507
00:17:08,034 --> 00:17:12,068
This is more of a wedge salad
than it is of a Caesar.

508
00:17:13,758 --> 00:17:16,551
Keeping the skin on the chicken
is a really smart idea.

509
00:17:16,655 --> 00:17:18,620
It's crunchy.
It's seasoned really well.

510
00:17:18,724 --> 00:17:20,896
There is a little bit
too much cumin through that,

511
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,310
and that's
such a powerful spice.

512
00:17:22,413 --> 00:17:23,655
It's really taking over.

513
00:17:23,758 --> 00:17:27,000
It's a very good, hearty salad

think of a chicken Caesar salad.

I'm going anywhere.

than the others.[ Chuckles ]

at least one element

that I would be expecting from
a great chicken Caesar salad,

Oh, Chef Barret,
sorry to see you go, sir,

First word -- "chicken."

"Chicken."
"Chicken."

539
00:18:42,655 --> 00:18:45,241
If I would've had chicken,
I would've pulled it off,

540
00:18:45,344 --> 00:18:46,655
so it's my own fault.

541

Man, I cook shrimp and grits
every day.

ALTON: Hopefully, I don't have
to tell you what this is,

to that 60-second shopping time

CHEF FRANK:
Shrimp are very easy to cook.

557
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:27,758
Grits, well,
that's just like polenta.

My mom's Italian -- Finish them
with cheese and butter.

559
00:19:29,896 --> 00:19:31,206
I see chorizo in the pantry,

560
00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:33,758
and I think it'll be a great
substitution for andouille,

561
00:19:33,862 --> 00:19:35,586
which is commonly
in shrimp and grits.

a losing basket over there.

564
00:19:45,827 --> 00:19:48,068
CHEF CECIL: I look down
at Chef Frank's basket,

565
00:19:48,172 --> 00:19:50,241
and I see
that he has polenta.

566
00:19:50,344 --> 00:19:52,448
He's really gonna come
into Alton Brown's house

567
00:19:52,551 --> 00:19:54,517
and try to make
some polenta grits?

568
00:19:54,620 --> 00:19:55,827
That's ridiculous.

One chef will be in the south,

where they will have to prep
both chef's dishes,

586

and the other opponent will be
in the North,

587

will have to do

all the cooking
of those two dishes.

Bacon chopped --

681
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:54,586
Everything Chef Cecil cooks
has to be prepped.

682
00:23:54,689 --> 00:23:59,103
It's taking corn off the cob,
deveining and peeling shrimp.

683
00:23:59,206 --> 00:24:00,517
All of that has to be prepped,

684
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:02,379
and I have to hand it over
to Cecil.

685
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:03,758
Just please don't burn
the onions.

686
00:24:03,862 --> 00:24:05,724
I'm not gonna burn
your onions, Chef.Thanks, sir.

687
00:24:05,827 --> 00:24:08,172
And then he has to hand the food
back over to me

00:24:08,275 --> 00:24:09,448
for me to season

689
00:24:09,551 --> 00:24:11,241
'cause he doesn't have
any seasonings over there.

690
00:24:11,344 --> 00:24:12,482
Thank you, Chef.
Yes, Chef.Good?

691
00:24:12,586 --> 00:24:15,172
He keeps saying "Chef."
I think he's talking about me.

692
00:24:15,275 --> 00:24:16,206
I don't know why.

693
00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:18,068
I'm, like, hard-wired
to hear "Chef."

694
00:24:18,172 --> 00:24:19,413
The polenta's gonna take me
the longest.

695
00:24:19,517 --> 00:24:21,034
I need to get it on
right away.

696
00:24:21,137 --> 00:24:23,517
You've decided
to make polenta on purpose.

697
00:24:23,620 --> 00:24:25,896
What's the difference
between polenta and grits?

698
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,896
Just name really.
It's the same thing.

699
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,827
Are you all Yankees?!

700
00:24:28,931 --> 00:24:31,206

CHEF CECIL:
With my grits,

703
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,482
I start
with a little bit of onion

704
00:24:37,586 --> 00:24:38,758
and a little bit of garlic

705
00:24:38,862 --> 00:24:41,068
to get that flavor
all the way through my grits,

706
00:24:41,172 --> 00:24:43,482
and then I put
my chicken stock in

707
00:24:43,586 --> 00:24:45,931
with the shrimp heads
and the milk.

708
00:24:46,034 --> 00:24:47,689
CHEF KRYSTAL: Here's mine --
grits, cream.Thank you.

709

You want cream
in there?

At the end, Chef.Yes, Chef.

712
00:24:51,827 --> 00:24:53,551
Yes, Chef. Yes, Chef.Not until the end.

I'm cooking my grits my way.

714
00:24:55,103 --> 00:24:58,379
It's very tough cooking somebody
else's grits at the same time.

715
00:24:58,482 --> 00:25:00,758
You want your corn
in the grits?

716
00:25:00,862 --> 00:25:02,448
I do.
No, no, no, no.Right now?

717
00:25:02,551 --> 00:25:03,413
What about here?

718
00:25:03,517 --> 00:25:04,724
I want them sautéed first.Okay.

719
00:25:04,827 --> 00:25:06,896
Oh, my God, this is crazy!

these beautiful shrimp tails.

722
00:25:12,068 --> 00:25:13,344
It keeps me from having
to chop them up.

723
00:25:13,448 --> 00:25:14,586
Thank you very much.

724
00:25:14,689 --> 00:25:16,827
Pulling the shrimp
out of their little tail ends

725
00:25:16,931 --> 00:25:18,241
is actually kind of difficult.

726
00:25:18,344 --> 00:25:21,034
I have shrimp tails
that are extremely tiny.

727
00:25:21,137 --> 00:25:22,586
The judge is gonna look at it
and wonder,

728
00:25:22,689 --> 00:25:24,344
"Where's the rest
of the shrimp?"

729
00:25:24,448 --> 00:25:26,241
I think it would take
10 shrimp tails

730
00:25:26,344 --> 00:25:27,586
to equal one shrimp.

731
00:25:27,689 --> 00:25:30,482
We're down to like maybe, what,
it's gonna be like 3 ounces,

I think, max.

733
00:25:32,034 --> 00:25:33,793
Better get a lot of flavor
out of it, then.Yeah.

734
00:25:33,896 --> 00:25:35,379
So, I knew I had
to bulk up my dish

735
00:25:35,482 --> 00:25:37,241
with something else,
so I added a little chorizo.

736
00:25:37,344 --> 00:25:38,896
Well, I don't think
I have a choice to be honest.

737

on it,

754
00:26:14,206 --> 00:26:16,827
a little, tiny bit
of chili powder, salt, pepper.

to my dish,

with some corn.

In a separate pan,
I'm sautéing the shrimp.

I add the shrimp back to
the dish with the chorizo.

00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,241
I hit it with some white wine,
some butter.

00:26:40,344 --> 00:26:41,275
Bam, it's done.

768
00:26:41,379 --> 00:26:43,275
Chef Frank decided
to add chorizo,

769
00:26:43,379 --> 00:26:45,793
one of the strongest-flavored
meats there is,

770
00:26:45,896 --> 00:26:46,827
to his shrimp and grits.

771
00:26:46,931 --> 00:26:48,827
Most of the shrimp flavor
in a shrimp

772
00:26:48,931 --> 00:26:51,206
is closer to the head
and actually in the head,

773
00:26:51,310 --> 00:26:53,344
so his shrimp's
just gonna disappear.

774
00:26:53,448 --> 00:26:54,689
That's my feeling.

00:26:54,793 --> 00:26:57,310

that money there, Chef Frank.

Yep, that happened,
so I have no corn now,

down in my neck of the woods,

some fantastic shrimp
and grits recently,

Today, I have for you
shrimp and grits

817
00:28:17,310 --> 00:28:19,965
with a grilled shrimp --
a fried shrimp head,

818
00:28:20,068 --> 00:28:22,172
fresh corn,
and heirloom tomatoes.

819
00:28:22,275 --> 00:28:24,413
Chef, first of all,
the shrimp head, to me,

820
00:28:24,517 --> 00:28:27,275
is one of the most underused
kind of parts of the shrimp.

821
00:28:27,379 --> 00:28:29,275
I love the fact that you've
put that on the plate.

822
00:28:29,379 --> 00:28:30,275
Well done.

823
00:28:30,379 --> 00:28:31,172
Thank you, Chef.

824
00:28:33,655 --> 00:28:36,275
That shrimp is spot-on.
It's absolutely fantastic.

00:28:36,379 --> 00:28:37,689
Thank you, Chef.It's cooked perfectly,

826
00:28:37,793 --> 00:28:38,931
seasoned well,

827
00:28:39,034 --> 00:28:42,000
and that corn absolutely adds
the sweetness.

828
00:28:42,103 --> 00:28:45,241
Having said that, your grits are
a little bit solidified.

829
00:28:45,344 --> 00:28:47,482
It's almost looking more
like a badly cooked omelette

830
00:28:47,586 --> 00:28:49,137
than it is those creamy grits.

831
00:28:49,241 --> 00:28:51,241
It's a shame
that one key element,

832
00:28:51,344 --> 00:28:53,000
the grits,
is really lumpy.

833
00:28:53,103 --> 00:28:54,068

Chef Krystal,
please tell Simon

839
00:29:01,689 --> 00:29:03,758
about your take
on shrimp and grits.

840
00:29:03,862 --> 00:29:07,000
This is kind of a Cincinnati
take on shrimp and grits,

841
00:29:07,103 --> 00:29:08,862
not so much in the South.

842
00:29:08,965 --> 00:29:10,379
But it's a creamy grit

843
00:29:10,482 --> 00:29:13,448
and then a little bit
of a smoky shrimp on top.

844
00:29:13,551 --> 00:29:16,103
I think it's
a beautiful-looking plate.

845
00:29:16,206 --> 00:29:18,413
I love the fact that you've got
those beautiful, pale grits.

846
00:29:18,517 --> 00:29:20,965
I can see
that you've seasoned them well.

847
00:29:21,068 --> 00:29:23,896
I'm getting a buttery,
peppery taste out of those.

848
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,241
I really like that
with grits.

849
00:29:25,344 --> 00:29:28,034
The shrimp look like
they've been cooked well.

850
00:29:28,137 --> 00:29:29,413
They're very pretty.

851
00:29:33,103 --> 00:29:35,275
Unfortunately, the shrimp
that I'm tasting here,

852
00:29:35,379 --> 00:29:37,551
it's a little bit overdone,
chewy.

853
00:29:37,655 --> 00:29:39,379
It's tough.
It's overcooked.

854
00:29:39,482 --> 00:29:41,379
Thanks, Chef.Thank you.

855
00:29:41,482 --> 00:29:43,034
If that's how they do it
in Cincinnati...[ Chuckles ]

856
00:29:43,137 --> 00:29:45,827
CHEF KRYSTAL: I would give
anything to tell Simon

857
00:29:45,931 --> 00:29:47,586
that I didn't cook
those shrimp.

858
00:29:47,689 --> 00:29:48,517
Believe me.

859
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:50,172
Chef Cecil.

860
00:29:50,275 --> 00:29:51,827
Ehh!

861
00:29:51,931 --> 00:29:54,206
Chef Frank, tell him
about your dish.

862
00:29:54,310 --> 00:29:57,034
CHEF FRANK: Today, we made
shrimp sautéed with chorizo,

863
00:29:57,137 --> 00:29:58,931
grilled corn
with buttermilk grits

864
00:29:59,034 --> 00:30:00,482
and pepper jack cheese.

865
00:30:02,655 --> 00:30:03,862
The flavor is fantastic.

866
00:30:03,965 --> 00:30:06,758
I love that cheddar jack cheese
coming through.

867
00:30:06,862 --> 00:30:08,896
I think it's really,
really got a great consistency.

868
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,620
It's delicious.
It's very fiery.

869
00:30:10,724 --> 00:30:11,896
Thank you, Chef.

870
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,862
What I'm not getting is
any shrimp at all.

871
00:30:13,965 --> 00:30:15,379
All I'm getting is chorizo.

872
00:30:15,482 --> 00:30:18,310
This really doesn't look
like shrimp and grits to me.

873
00:30:18,413 --> 00:30:22,034
That corn that you've used,
it looks much more like polenta.

874
00:30:22,137 --> 00:30:23,896
What I was expecting
from shrimp and grits,

875
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,620
I'm not really getting
delivered here.

876
00:30:25,724 --> 00:30:27,586
There are some fantastic flavors
here, though.

877
00:30:27,689 --> 00:30:28,827
Thank you, Chef.Thank you.

878
00:30:28,931 --> 00:30:30,241
Pleasure.Thank you very much.

879
00:30:30,344 --> 00:30:32,137
Although all of my flavors
are spot-on,

880
00:30:32,241 --> 00:30:35,413
I'm terrified that there's just
not enough shrimp.

881
00:30:35,517 --> 00:30:37,000
Simon,
you know my dilemma.

882
00:30:37,103 --> 00:30:38,689
I can only take
two of these chefs

883
00:30:38,793 --> 00:30:40,862
into the final round.
It is your job to decide

884
00:30:40,965 --> 00:30:43,137
whose shrimp and grits wasn't
quite up to par.

885
00:30:43,241 --> 00:30:45,965
MAJUMDAR: Chefs, usually this is
a really difficult decision,

886
00:30:46,068 --> 00:30:48,172
but for once
I'm absolutely clear,

887
00:30:48,275 --> 00:30:50,206
and I'm gonna have to
eliminate Chef...

888
00:31:00,827 --> 00:31:04,310
Chefs, usually this is
a really difficult decision,

889
00:31:04,413 --> 00:31:07,379
but for once
I'm absolutely clear,

890
00:31:07,482 --> 00:31:12,896
and I'm gonna have to
eliminate Chef...

891
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:13,896
Frank.

892
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,068
Chef, it was
another delicious dish,

893
00:31:16,172 --> 00:31:17,965
but it was polenta
and chorizo.

894
00:31:18,068 --> 00:31:19,896
It wasn't
shrimp and grits.

895
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,172
ALTON: Sorry, Chef.

896
00:31:21,275 --> 00:31:23,448
I'm afraid I'm gonna need
to take the rest of that cash

897
00:31:23,551 --> 00:31:25,689
and put it back in the case
from whence it came.

898
00:31:25,793 --> 00:31:26,793
Thank you, sir.

899
00:31:26,896 --> 00:31:28,206
It's my pleasure.The pleasure was mine.

900
00:31:28,310 --> 00:31:30,241
Thanks.My pleasure.
Thank you.

901
00:31:30,344 --> 00:31:32,344
CHEF FRANK: I don't feel
like I deserve to go home.

902
00:31:32,448 --> 00:31:34,068
I feel like I still deserve
to be here.

903
00:31:34,172 --> 00:31:37,655
I thought my dish was still
stronger than Chef Krystal's.

904
00:31:37,758 --> 00:31:39,689
You know, cooking's
a subjective thing.

905
00:31:39,793 --> 00:31:41,793
One man's crap is
another man's treasure.

906
00:31:41,896 --> 00:31:43,827
They pulled off
very elementary dishes.

907
00:31:43,931 --> 00:31:45,689
Mine had
a little more meat to it.

908
00:31:45,793 --> 00:31:47,103
I guess that's what hanged me.

909
00:31:52,275 --> 00:31:54,758
Chefs, congratulations
on surviving to this,

910
00:31:54,862 --> 00:31:57,827
the final round
of "Cutthroat Kitchen."

911
00:31:57,931 --> 00:32:00,310
Oh, my gosh, I have to go
through this one more time.

912
00:32:00,413 --> 00:32:01,724
Pull through.
pull through for your kids.

913
00:32:01,827 --> 00:32:03,000
You got this.

914
00:32:03,103 --> 00:32:06,137
Now, we do things a little bit
different in this round.

915
00:32:06,241 --> 00:32:09,344
You're going to have the
traditional 60 seconds to shop,

916
00:32:09,448 --> 00:32:12,482
then you will move immediately
into the cooking phase.

917
00:32:12,586 --> 00:32:14,758
And should I decide
to auction off some things,

918
00:32:14,862 --> 00:32:16,862
I will do so while you cook.

919
00:32:16,965 --> 00:32:19,206
CHEF CECIL: Coming from
the ghetto of Sacramento

920
00:32:19,310 --> 00:32:21,137
and now being on
the Food Network

921
00:32:21,241 --> 00:32:22,482
is just a dream of mine.

922
00:32:22,586 --> 00:32:25,655
I want to do this
for all those people out there

923
00:32:25,758 --> 00:32:27,310
that don't think
they have a way out,

924
00:32:27,413 --> 00:32:29,689
and I just want to tell them
that they do have a way out.

925
00:32:29,793 --> 00:32:32,034
The dish --
45 minutes...

926
00:32:32,137 --> 00:32:34,448
to make...

927
00:32:34,551 --> 00:32:35,586
ice-cream sandwiches.

928
00:32:35,689 --> 00:32:37,172
[ Laughs ]

929
00:32:37,275 --> 00:32:38,482
I'm sure you've made it.

930
00:32:38,586 --> 00:32:40,551
I'm sure you've got the recipe
already locked in your head.

931
00:32:40,655 --> 00:32:41,862
So let's just go ahead

932
00:32:41,965 --> 00:32:43,862
and get that 60-second shopping
time started right now.

933
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,551
CHEF CECIL:
I'm gonna make, like,
an ice-cream cookie s'more.

934
00:32:49,655 --> 00:32:51,275
Who the hell doesn't like
s'mores?

935
00:32:51,379 --> 00:32:54,379
I need my chocolate chips,
I need my marshmallows,

936
00:32:54,482 --> 00:32:57,034
and I need my walnuts
to go into my cookie.

937
00:32:57,137 --> 00:32:58,758
Come on.
Forget about it, man.

938
00:32:58,862 --> 00:32:59,965
It's gonna be awesome!

939
00:33:00,068 --> 00:33:01,689
Chefs, you've got 30 seconds.

940
00:33:01,793 --> 00:33:04,241
I made the exact
ice-cream sandwiches

941
00:33:04,344 --> 00:33:05,344
for my son's birthday

942
00:33:05,448 --> 00:33:06,827
that I am planning on making
right now.

943
00:33:06,931 --> 00:33:08,689
I need flour.
I need butter.

944
00:33:08,793 --> 00:33:11,034
I need eggs, milk, sugar,
cream cheese.

945
00:33:11,137 --> 00:33:15,793
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

946
00:33:15,896 --> 00:33:18,827
And your cooking time begins now
-- 45 minutes!

947
00:33:18,931 --> 00:33:20,034
CHEF KRYSTAL:
Not this time, sir.

948
00:33:20,137 --> 00:33:21,586
We're not partners anymore.

949
00:33:21,689 --> 00:33:23,103
No more love.

950
00:33:23,206 --> 00:33:25,344
Chefs, anybody care
for a sandwich?

951
00:33:25,448 --> 00:33:27,758
Here's a tray
of some of my favorites.

952
00:33:27,862 --> 00:33:29,896
We got
cucumber-and-cream-cheese,

953
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,172
BLT, peanut-and-jelly,

954
00:33:31,275 --> 00:33:33,275
and a whole lot more
to choose from.

955
00:33:33,379 --> 00:33:35,137
Win this auction,
and you can take away

956
00:33:35,241 --> 00:33:37,241
your opponent's
entire basket of ingredients,

957
00:33:37,344 --> 00:33:41,172
forcing them to use whatever is
on this tray instead.

958
00:33:41,275 --> 00:33:43,137
No. Just no.

959
00:33:43,241 --> 00:33:44,482
Unacceptable.

960
00:33:44,586 --> 00:33:45,517
$6,000.

961
00:33:45,620 --> 00:33:46,413
$6,000.
$6,100, ma'am?

962
00:33:46,517 --> 00:33:47,862
CHEF KRYSTAL:
$8,000!

963
00:33:47,965 --> 00:33:48,689
$9,000.$9,000!

$9,500.I've got $9,500.

00:33:52,034 --> 00:33:52,827
$9,600, $9,600,

$10,000!$10,000.

00:33:54,137 --> 00:33:55,034
$10,100.

970
00:33:55,137 --> 00:33:55,931
$10,200, $10,200?

971
00:33:56,034 --> 00:33:57,241
Come on, $10,200.$10,200!

972
00:33:57,344 --> 00:33:58,586
$10,200 --
current high bid.

973
00:33:58,689 --> 00:34:00,137
Will you go $10,300, sir?
$10,300?

974
00:34:00,241 --> 00:34:02,724
CHEF CECIL: I know I can make
something out of nothing.

975
00:34:02,827 --> 00:34:04,000
Just bring it on, Krystal.

976
00:34:04,103 --> 00:34:06,172
I'm determined
to win this thing.

977
00:34:06,275 --> 00:34:08,103
Sold to Chef Krystal
for $10,200.

978
00:34:08,206 --> 00:34:10,275
You may deliver this
to your opponent.

979
00:34:10,379 --> 00:34:14,241
Holy crap, nail in the coffin
for real right here.

980
00:34:14,344 --> 00:34:16,379
Here you go, Chef.Thank you so much.

981
00:34:16,482 --> 00:34:18,310
Thank you!I paid a lot for that.

982
00:34:18,413 --> 00:34:19,551
This is the worst sabotage

983
00:34:19,655 --> 00:34:21,655
there's probably been
on "Cutthroat Kitchen."

984
00:34:21,758 --> 00:34:23,655
CHEF CECIL: Uh, I got
some peanut butter here.

985
00:34:23,758 --> 00:34:25,344
I got some bananas.
I got some bacon.

986
00:34:25,448 --> 00:34:27,344
That's always good
in ice cream, right?

987
00:34:27,448 --> 00:34:29,793
CHEF CECIL: So, I'm thinking
I'm gonna put bananas,

988
00:34:29,896 --> 00:34:33,896
peanut butter, and jelly
ice cream together.

989
00:34:35,896 --> 00:34:37,793
So, right now,
I'm starting my cookie dough.

990
00:34:37,896 --> 00:34:40,689
So, my plan is
to make cream-cheese ice cream

991
00:34:40,793 --> 00:34:43,344
and homemade
chocolate-chip cookies.

992
00:34:43,448 --> 00:34:48,586
I get my butter in my mixer,
my sugar, and I'm just rolling.

993
00:34:48,689 --> 00:34:50,275
CHEF KRYSTAL: You getting
through those sandwiches?

994
00:34:50,379 --> 00:34:52,275
You just worry about what
you're doing over there, okay?Oh, I will.

995
00:34:52,379 --> 00:34:55,551
For the cookie part
of my ice-cream sandwich,

996
00:34:55,655 --> 00:34:57,068
I have this white bread

997
00:34:57,172 --> 00:34:59,517
that has chocolate
and banana on it.

998
00:34:59,620 --> 00:35:02,000
So I'm gonna get that
into the oven

999
00:35:02,103 --> 00:35:04,620
so I can do, like,
a chewy, soft cookie

1000
00:35:04,724 --> 00:35:06,344
made out of white bread.

1001
00:35:06,448 --> 00:35:08,551
Sounds ridiculous,
but I'm going for it.

1002
00:35:08,655 --> 00:35:10,482
A white-bread cookie?

1003
00:35:10,586 --> 00:35:12,172
That sounds delicious!

1004
00:35:12,275 --> 00:35:14,827
Cookie dough is made,
and I taste my dough.

1005
00:35:14,931 --> 00:35:16,137
It tastes delicious.

1006
00:35:16,241 --> 00:35:17,827
Get them in the oven
'cause they need to cook,

1007
00:35:17,931 --> 00:35:21,310
and I'm ready to start
on my ice cream,

1008
00:35:21,413 --> 00:35:22,517
and once again --

1009
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:25,137
You know, while we're
on the subject of sandwiches,

1010
00:35:25,241 --> 00:35:28,896
here are two sandwich bags,
one large, one small.

1011
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,379
Win this auction, and
you can force your opponent

1012
00:35:31,482 --> 00:35:33,965
to make their ice cream
with these bags.

1013
00:35:34,068 --> 00:35:37,655
Ingredients go in here.
Ice and salt go in here.

1014
00:35:37,758 --> 00:35:40,965
After some vigorousshaking
and some nifty science,

1015
00:35:41,068 --> 00:35:42,586
you will have ice cream.

1016
00:35:42,689 --> 00:35:45,965
So, who wants to shake up

You've got the peanut butter.

is really good.

I'm afraid it's kind of
the Elvis-ugly period.

00:40:16,586 --> 00:40:18,758
This is not
a good-looking sandwich,

1146
00:40:18,862 --> 00:40:20,344
but, actually, it's
pretty interesting to taste,

1147
00:40:20,448 --> 00:40:21,965

in a good way.

I'm sorry, sir.

1169
00:41:11,620 --> 00:41:13,034
That means I'm gonna need
the rest of your cash

too unorthodox for them,

anything different, you know?

CHEF KRYSTAL: Hugging!
We're hugging now.Okay.

1185
00:41:37,931 --> 00:41:39,517
I came here,
and I proved it to myself.

1186
00:41:39,620 --> 00:41:41,241
I didn't need to prove it
to anyone else,

1187
00:41:41,344 --> 00:41:42,689
and I did prove it to myself,

1188
00:41:42,793 --> 00:41:45,137
and I don't think those guys
saw me coming at all.

1189
00:41:45,241 --> 00:41:47,551
I just pulled out every trick
I had up my sleeve,

1190
00:41:47,655 --> 00:41:49,206
and I took them down!

1191
00:41:49,310 --> 00:41:50,379
I just won
"Cutthroat Kitchen"!

1192
00:41:50,482 --> 00:41:51,793
Whoo!

1193
00:41:51,896 --> 00:41:53,517
Drinks are on me tonight, boys!

1194
00:41:53,620 --> 00:41:57,172
