1
00:00:01,567 --> 00:00:02,767
Fire station cooks are
commandeering the store,
2
00:00:02,767 --> 00:00:04,500
and taking on our
three-alarm Grocery Games.
3
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:05,767
[siren wailing]
4
00:00:05,767 --> 00:00:08,100
Flashing red lights,
flashing red lights.
5
00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:10,000
[Guy] Sure, they're great
at fighting a blaze,
6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,200
but can they stand the heat
in our kitchens?
7
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,367
Oh, no. My squash is burning.
8
00:00:14,367 --> 00:00:15,467
It hurts my eyes already.
9
00:00:15,467 --> 00:00:16,433
Whoo!
10
00:00:16,433 --> 00:00:18,367
Who will get the axe and
who will save the day?
11
00:00:18,367 --> 00:00:20,500
We're about to find out.
12
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,800
Check it out,
it's Flavortown's
new firehouse dog, Smokey.
13
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,867
Listen, listen,
don't look now,
14
00:00:24,867 --> 00:00:26,767
but Smokey's got
some competition.
15
00:00:26,767 --> 00:00:29,166
-Cash! You don't even have
a driver's license.
-[toy fire alarm blaring]
16
00:00:29,166 --> 00:00:30,867
I mean, this place
is going to the dogs.
17
00:00:30,867 --> 00:00:34,500
It's Firefighters
in Flavortown right now
on Guy's Grocery Games.
18
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:37,567
All right, Cash,
show me how to get to
the nearest fire hydrant.
19
00:00:37,567 --> 00:00:39,066
I think he's
going to the deli.
20
00:00:41,767 --> 00:00:44,200
[siren wailing]
21
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,266
So, let's meet
our fearless firefighters.
22
00:00:46,266 --> 00:00:48,066
Now first up,
we have Boh Blackwell,
23
00:00:48,066 --> 00:00:50,000
a firefighter
from Baltimore, Maryland,
24
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,266
who loves to cook
southern comfort food
25
00:00:52,266 --> 00:00:53,934
for his wife and kids.
26
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:57,367
I got seven kids at home.
Biggest critics.
27
00:00:57,367 --> 00:00:59,667
I always test out
on the kids first. [chuckles]
28
00:00:59,667 --> 00:01:01,400
And then I'll take it
to the firehouse.
29
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,266
Once everyone figured out
that I can cook,
30
00:01:03,266 --> 00:01:04,467
I've been cooking ever since.
31
00:01:04,467 --> 00:01:05,567
Yeah, I was one of those kids
32
00:01:05,567 --> 00:01:07,000
that dreamed of driving
a fire truck.
33
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,400
I've been a firefighter
for eight, going on nine
years now.
34
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,900
So it's like
a dream come true.
35
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:12,100
-[Guy] Big man.
-What's going on?
36
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:13,667
[Guy] Looking good, buddy.
37
00:01:13,667 --> 00:01:15,200
Next we have
Viviana Besteiro,
38
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,767
a first generation
Cuban-American
39
00:01:16,767 --> 00:01:19,567
from Florida,
who loves cooking
in the firehouse.
40
00:01:19,567 --> 00:01:22,900
Cooking in the firehouse,
I do traditional Cuban.
41
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:25,600
They love my food.
We set up the kitchen table,
42
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,967
and it's like,
"Hey, V, what are you
cooking for us today?"
43
00:01:27,967 --> 00:01:29,900
It was great to hear
the stories of my parents.
44
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:31,400
They came here from Cuba.
45
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,467
We were taught to,
46
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:34,400
"You could do whatever
you want in United States.
47
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,400
Just work. You can do it."
48
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,567
Here I am, I'm a firefighter.
Pretty amazing.
49
00:01:40,467 --> 00:01:42,166
Go get 'em.
50
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:45,567
Then there's Jonathan Bauer,
the Sonoma County home cook,
51
00:01:45,567 --> 00:01:48,600
who's broadening his
fellow firefighters palates
52
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,100
with his global cuisine.
53
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,967
I'm a firefighter paramedic
for Sonoma County Fire.
54
00:01:52,967 --> 00:01:54,800
Um, my style can range
all over the place.
55
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,600
Curries, Israeli food,
Chinese food.
56
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,367
I want it to be something that
we can all look forward to.
57
00:01:59,367 --> 00:02:01,100
I know I'm gonna get
teased at the firehouse
58
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:02,667
regardless of
what happens today,
59
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:04,266
so just gotta
make the most of it.
60
00:02:04,266 --> 00:02:06,233
I don't think
I've ever seen a fireman...
61
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:07,667
[camera clicks]
62
00:02:08,467 --> 00:02:09,867
That's a Sonoma County guy.
63
00:02:09,867 --> 00:02:12,266
And finally Nicole Selmer,
the Minnesota firefighter
64
00:02:12,266 --> 00:02:13,500
who loves to cook
and garden
65
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,367
when she's not battling
forest fires.
66
00:02:15,367 --> 00:02:17,467
[Nicole] Being
a wildland firefighter,
67
00:02:17,467 --> 00:02:19,166
we live in a very remote area
68
00:02:19,166 --> 00:02:21,266
so we tend to cook
a lot of food
69
00:02:21,266 --> 00:02:23,600
that we either hunt or gather.
70
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,767
When I cook
for our firefighters,
71
00:02:25,767 --> 00:02:27,066
if you're just cooking
something fresh,
72
00:02:27,066 --> 00:02:28,300
they're just happy to have it.
73
00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:30,367
[Guy] Hello there. Ow!
74
00:02:31,166 --> 00:02:32,467
-How are we feeling?
-Good.
75
00:02:32,467 --> 00:02:34,000
-Yeah.
-Really good.
76
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,367
Good. I really do love having
firehouse chefs compete in
Flavortown market
77
00:02:37,367 --> 00:02:39,467
because not only
do I wanna salute you
78
00:02:39,467 --> 00:02:42,567
and recognize you
and thank you
for all that you do,
79
00:02:42,567 --> 00:02:44,467
but I also know
the firehouse chefs
80
00:02:44,467 --> 00:02:46,367
are some of
the best cooks in the country,
81
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:47,500
and fire chef
82
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:50,767
is just one dotted i away
from being fire chief.
83
00:02:50,767 --> 00:02:51,767
-[laughing]
-[Guy] Huh?
84
00:02:51,767 --> 00:02:53,700
-Maybe.
-Tonight you're gonna compete
85
00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:55,800
in two exciting culinary games
86
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,000
-that'll put your feet
to the fire.
-[laughing]
87
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,467
Ba-dam-pum.
I'll be here all week.
88
00:02:59,467 --> 00:03:01,767
The firehouse chef
with the lowest score
89
00:03:01,767 --> 00:03:03,767
at the end of the round
unfortunately will be
90
00:03:03,767 --> 00:03:05,867
required to go wash
all the hoses out
91
00:03:05,867 --> 00:03:07,200
and put them back on the truck
92
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,000
and not participate
in the next game.
93
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,367
Wah, wah, wah.
94
00:03:10,367 --> 00:03:12,200
Is dragging the hose out
the worst part?
95
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,400
-That's the worse job.
-That's the one
I'd be stuck with.
96
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,100
But I will tell you
the fire chef
97
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:17,567
with the highest
combined score
98
00:03:17,567 --> 00:03:19,100
at the end of both rounds
99
00:03:19,100 --> 00:03:20,166
will be declared the winner
100
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:22,300
and get to shop
Flavortown Market
for up to
101
00:03:22,300 --> 00:03:23,900
20,000 bucks.
102
00:03:23,900 --> 00:03:25,100
-Whoo!
-[Guy] Okay?
103
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:27,066
So for your first challenge,
104
00:03:27,066 --> 00:03:29,800
I want you to make
your spicy firehouse favorite.
105
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,767
All right.
106
00:03:30,767 --> 00:03:32,700
Is spicy something
firefighters like?
107
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:33,867
-Oh, yeah, absolutely.
-Yeah.
108
00:03:33,867 --> 00:03:35,900
I love spicy. I want you
to make a delicious dish
109
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,467
that's got enough kick
to satisfy the entire crew,
110
00:03:38,467 --> 00:03:40,100
-but...
-Oh, no.
111
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,367
...because
you're firefighters,
you're heroes,
112
00:03:43,367 --> 00:03:46,066
I don't wanna make
this challenge
ridiculously hard.
113
00:03:46,066 --> 00:03:47,400
I just want you to shop
with your hearts
114
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,000
and make
the best dish you can.
115
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,066
-Oh.
-[Guy] Sound good?
116
00:03:50,066 --> 00:03:51,367
-Sounds good.
-Yeah.
117
00:03:51,367 --> 00:03:52,900
You only have
30 minutes to shop,
118
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:53,967
and prepare and plate,
119
00:03:53,967 --> 00:03:55,600
your spicy firehouse favorite.
120
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,567
Any questions?
121
00:03:56,567 --> 00:03:57,700
-No, sir.
-No.
122
00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:59,800
Which is worse,
a three alarm,
123
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,166
two alarm, or one alarm?
124
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:03,567
Which one do you go to first?
125
00:04:03,567 --> 00:04:05,567
-[Viviana] Is this a catch?
-[Jonathan] Yep.
126
00:04:05,567 --> 00:04:06,800
Whoa!
127
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:07,900
Ooh...
128
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:10,266
[Guy] They didn't stick around
for me to tell 'em,
129
00:04:10,266 --> 00:04:12,166
because they said three alarm,
two alarm, one alarm
130
00:04:12,166 --> 00:04:14,266
'cause I do
have a three-alarm
131
00:04:14,266 --> 00:04:17,567
red light special sale
that they're gonna
need to check out.
132
00:04:17,567 --> 00:04:18,900
[Jonathan] Guy tells us
we have to make
133
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:20,467
this spicy firehouse favorite
134
00:04:20,467 --> 00:04:22,266
and immediately
I'm thinkin',
135
00:04:22,266 --> 00:04:23,634
"I got this round."
136
00:04:24,266 --> 00:04:25,900
For my
spicy firehouse favorite,
137
00:04:25,900 --> 00:04:28,266
I'm gonna make my
Five-Alarm Orange Chicken.
138
00:04:28,266 --> 00:04:30,166
I cooked it
just a couple of days ago
139
00:04:30,166 --> 00:04:32,000
for the crew
and they loved it.
140
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,667
To make the spicy orange sauce
I know I need brown sugar...
141
00:04:34,667 --> 00:04:36,567
Sriracha. Here we go. Okay.
142
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:39,367
...orange juice,
ginger, garlic,
143
00:04:39,367 --> 00:04:41,266
soy sauce and white vinegar.
144
00:04:41,266 --> 00:04:42,900
-Perfect. All right.
-[alarm blaring]
145
00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:45,000
[Guy over PA]
Attention, shoppers,
we have a three-alarm
146
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,133
fire sale going on
here at Flavortown Market.
147
00:04:50,567 --> 00:04:51,967
What is going on?
148
00:04:51,967 --> 00:04:53,400
[Guy] These are
three ingredients
149
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,867
that you must
incorporate in your dish.
150
00:04:55,867 --> 00:05:00,967
Jalapeño potato chips,
chili con queso,
and serrano peppers.
151
00:05:00,967 --> 00:05:02,500
I was waiting
for Guy to do somethin'.
152
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:05,700
Look for the flashing
red lights and you'll see
what you need to grab.
153
00:05:05,700 --> 00:05:07,567
Flashing red lights,
flashing red lights. Okay.
154
00:05:07,567 --> 00:05:09,266
[Guy mimics siren]
155
00:05:09,266 --> 00:05:10,200
This is crazy.
156
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,066
Where are they?
157
00:05:12,066 --> 00:05:15,500
So for me being a firefighter
is being able to...
158
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:18,066
control chaos,
to have the best outcome.
159
00:05:18,066 --> 00:05:19,000
Serrano!
160
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,300
My station
loves serrano peppers.
161
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:22,900
I'm thinking
I'm gonna throw it in my sauce
162
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,400
just to make sure
it gets a little bit
extra heat.
163
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,066
-You got to grab that.
-Chili con queso?
164
00:05:27,066 --> 00:05:28,867
-There you go!
-Beautiful.
165
00:05:28,867 --> 00:05:30,266
[Guy] Just helping them out
166
00:05:30,266 --> 00:05:33,900
making some really
good decisions of things
they're gonna wanna use.
167
00:05:33,900 --> 00:05:37,100
Okay, um, I've never cooked
with chili con queso.
168
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:39,700
I got to decide what
I could use it for later.
169
00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:41,266
All right. What else?
Here we go.
170
00:05:41,266 --> 00:05:44,266
Then I finally find
the third special
and it's jalapeño chips.
171
00:05:44,266 --> 00:05:47,367
and I know immediately
this is gonna be
my chicken breading.
172
00:05:47,367 --> 00:05:49,266
I am excited to go against
my other firefighters
173
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:51,700
but we all tend to be type A
and competitive,
174
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:53,567
so I'm not gonna feel
too bad if they lose.
175
00:05:53,567 --> 00:05:54,867
We got a little bit
of everybody.
176
00:05:54,867 --> 00:05:55,900
Florida,
177
00:05:55,900 --> 00:05:56,900
Baltimore.
178
00:05:56,900 --> 00:05:58,467
Well, at least
we got some North Cal.
179
00:05:58,467 --> 00:06:00,100
We got some
Sonoma County up here.
180
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:01,100
Minneapolis.
181
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:02,166
Whoo!
182
00:06:02,166 --> 00:06:03,767
This is so cool.
183
00:06:03,767 --> 00:06:06,000
I can't believe that
I'm here in Flavortown.
184
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,800
But it is hard.
185
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,367
Spicy firehouse favorite.
186
00:06:09,367 --> 00:06:11,100
I immediately thought
Sonoran dogs.
187
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:14,100
Typically, it's a hot dog.
You wrap it in bacon.
188
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:15,400
Hot dogs are here.
189
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,166
You never know when
190
00:06:17,166 --> 00:06:18,367
you're gonna get
a call for a fire
191
00:06:18,367 --> 00:06:20,300
and it's usually right
when the food's ready.
192
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:22,266
So you need something
to put in your hand
193
00:06:22,266 --> 00:06:23,667
that you can stuff
in your face
194
00:06:23,667 --> 00:06:25,400
and you can eat
on your way to the fire.
195
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,000
[fire siren blaring]
196
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,166
Jalapeño chips.
197
00:06:28,166 --> 00:06:30,867
I can dredge them
in jalapeño chip dust
198
00:06:30,867 --> 00:06:32,467
and then deep-fry
the dogs.
199
00:06:32,467 --> 00:06:33,867
Oh, there's a light.
200
00:06:33,867 --> 00:06:35,467
-[fire siren blaring]
-I do not cook with
serrano peppers a lot,
201
00:06:35,467 --> 00:06:36,967
and I have to use it.
202
00:06:36,967 --> 00:06:39,266
Chili con queso.
203
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:41,867
I don't like
cheese sauce very much.
204
00:06:41,867 --> 00:06:44,367
But I thought that it would
probably go well as a sauce
205
00:06:44,367 --> 00:06:46,166
with Sriracha mayo anyway.
206
00:06:46,166 --> 00:06:47,500
Mayo.
207
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:50,467
Being a firefighter,
we're used to being in
a stressful situation.
208
00:06:50,467 --> 00:06:51,700
Oh, shoot.
209
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:53,467
There's a lot of adrenaline
which I love,
210
00:06:53,467 --> 00:06:55,200
'cause I'm
an adrenaline junkie.
211
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,767
That's part of
the job description.
212
00:06:57,767 --> 00:07:00,367
[Viviana] Pasta,
pasta, pasta.
213
00:07:00,367 --> 00:07:02,166
We make a lot of pasta
in the firehouse.
214
00:07:02,166 --> 00:07:03,166
Everybody loves that.
215
00:07:03,166 --> 00:07:05,000
So I knew that
that was the dish
to go with.
216
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,300
-[fire siren blaring]
-Luckily, I use
217
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:07,266
spicy peppers
at the firehouse,
218
00:07:07,266 --> 00:07:08,600
so I know what to do.
219
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,266
Serranos are great charred.
220
00:07:10,266 --> 00:07:13,600
I'm also grabbing fresnos
to up my spice.
221
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,100
Cheese, cheese,
cheese, cheese.
222
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:17,367
Spicy and creamy in a pasta
just go together.
223
00:07:17,367 --> 00:07:18,900
I knew I was gonna
make a cream sauce.
224
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,367
Incorporating
the chili con queso
was a given.
225
00:07:21,367 --> 00:07:22,767
The jalapeño chips,
226
00:07:22,767 --> 00:07:24,567
really not sure
what I'm going to do with it.
227
00:07:24,567 --> 00:07:25,467
But I'll figure it out.
228
00:07:25,467 --> 00:07:26,400
Boom! Boom!
229
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,266
This is so unreal
to me right now
230
00:07:28,266 --> 00:07:29,500
that I am here.
231
00:07:29,500 --> 00:07:31,667
Gonna be on TV,
I met Guy.
232
00:07:31,667 --> 00:07:33,533
How cool is that?
233
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
[fire siren blaring]
234
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,300
[Boh] For me at the firehouse,
never know when you're
gonna get a call,
235
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:41,066
so we gotta
cook our meals quick
236
00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:43,266
and still try and make it
delicious at the same time.
237
00:07:44,166 --> 00:07:46,600
And I feel like
everyone eats chicken.
238
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,800
So I'm thinking, "Why not?"
Let's go with
chicken sandwich.
239
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:49,767
Bacon.
240
00:07:49,767 --> 00:07:51,500
I just love bacon
on my sandwiches.
241
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:52,767
Bacon makes
everything taste better.
242
00:07:52,767 --> 00:07:54,066
[laughs]
243
00:07:54,066 --> 00:07:55,467
-[fire siren blaring]
-The chips will be good
for the breading.
244
00:07:55,467 --> 00:07:56,767
Coating the chicken.
245
00:07:56,767 --> 00:07:58,500
Jalapeño chips.
246
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,667
So the sandwich needs
some type of spicy sauce.
247
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:04,000
Serranos will bring
a lot of the heat.
248
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,767
Honey, honey, honey.
249
00:08:05,767 --> 00:08:08,500
Hot honey is to kind of
balance out the heat
a little bit.
250
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:10,100
Chili con queso.
251
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:13,600
First thing that
popped in my mind
was to make a cheese sauce.
252
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,567
Eggs, eggs, eggs.
253
00:08:15,567 --> 00:08:17,500
Yeah, used to working
under pressure.
254
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:18,700
Just not used to
cooking under pressure.
255
00:08:18,700 --> 00:08:20,867
It's the only thing that's
a little different.
256
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,066
Lucky we have
a smoking panel
of judges here
257
00:08:24,066 --> 00:08:26,100
to critique our
firefighters' dishes.
258
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:29,500
Now we have Food Network star
and authority on
all things spicy,
259
00:08:29,500 --> 00:08:31,467
the one and only
Aarti Sequeira.
260
00:08:31,467 --> 00:08:34,667
Food critic, world traveler
who knows how to say,
"That's hot!"
261
00:08:34,667 --> 00:08:36,767
-in 55 different languages.
-[laughter]
262
00:08:36,767 --> 00:08:39,967
The one and only
Sir Simon Majumdar.
263
00:08:39,967 --> 00:08:41,900
And James Beard Award
winning chef,
264
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:43,867
who is an acclaimed master
265
00:08:43,867 --> 00:08:46,100
of both Italian
and Asian spices,
266
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,600
give it up for
Chef Karen Akunowicz.
267
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,166
All right, I hope
you are liking it spicy.
268
00:08:51,166 --> 00:08:52,166
I love spicy.
269
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:54,500
This is tough. Listen,
these firefighters
270
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,967
are used to dealing
with stressful situations,
271
00:08:56,967 --> 00:08:57,967
I can imagine.
272
00:08:57,967 --> 00:09:00,500
But this supermarket
is a thing of its own.
273
00:09:00,500 --> 00:09:01,467
[laughs]
274
00:09:01,467 --> 00:09:03,367
[Aarti] It's massive,
there's cameras,
275
00:09:03,367 --> 00:09:05,200
there's a clock,
there's Guy.
276
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,100
Also, don't look
Aarti in the eye.
277
00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:08,567
[laughing]
278
00:09:08,567 --> 00:09:11,300
Twenty-five minutes, chefs!
What's the gameplan, chef?
279
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:12,867
Super spicy Sonoran dog.
280
00:09:12,867 --> 00:09:14,567
-[Guy] Sonoran dog.
-[Nicole] Oh yeah.
281
00:09:14,567 --> 00:09:16,266
What's gonna go on
with the chips?
282
00:09:16,266 --> 00:09:18,867
I'm thinking I might
use that to coat...
283
00:09:18,867 --> 00:09:20,200
-To coat the dog?
-Yep.
284
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,166
Are you gonna wrap
the hotdog in the bacon?
285
00:09:22,166 --> 00:09:23,667
Yeah. First I'm getting
286
00:09:23,667 --> 00:09:25,867
the peppers and the onions
starting to grill.
287
00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:27,000
Okay, good.
Get 'em.
288
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,467
[Nicole] My first
whammy ingredient,
289
00:09:28,467 --> 00:09:30,533
serrano peppers,
is out of the way.
290
00:09:32,166 --> 00:09:34,667
I'm really excited about
the Sonoran dog
291
00:09:34,667 --> 00:09:36,200
on a skewer
and the deep fryer.
292
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,266
'Cause the Minnesota fair,
everything's on a stick.
293
00:09:39,266 --> 00:09:42,567
My experience with spicy
jalapeño chips is
294
00:09:42,567 --> 00:09:44,767
just opening the bag
and stuffing my face
with them.
295
00:09:44,767 --> 00:09:46,967
I'll be curious to see
how Nicole gets
296
00:09:46,967 --> 00:09:49,867
the jalapeño chips
into that dish.
297
00:09:49,867 --> 00:09:52,467
[Nicole] My first instinct
of course would be
to put them on the side.
298
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:54,100
But I know that's not
part of the gameplay.
299
00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:58,000
So I decided to roll all
of my Sonoran dogs
300
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,100
in the jalapeño chip dust.
301
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,100
I'm making things up
as I go along here.
302
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:04,667
I was hoping and praying.
303
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:06,867
I was thinking like,
"Ooh, it's fatty enough
it might work."
304
00:10:06,867 --> 00:10:09,500
[Aarti] Okay,
so I'm looking at
the hotdogs going down.
305
00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:10,867
Did they hold?
306
00:10:10,867 --> 00:10:14,266
[Nicole] I don't use
deep fryers much at all.
307
00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:15,767
I don't know
how to do this.
308
00:10:15,767 --> 00:10:19,000
Some of the chips
have held on,
but not many.
309
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,600
[Nicole] Maybe I'm just
gonna start a fire
right here in the store.
310
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,934
Good thing we have
lots of firefighters here
to put it out.
311
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:28,667
[siren wailing]
312
00:10:32,300 --> 00:10:34,767
[Guy] Twenty-three minutes.
Twenty-three left.
313
00:10:34,767 --> 00:10:37,467
[Aarti] Okay, so I'm
looking at the hotdogs
with jalapeño chips.
314
00:10:37,467 --> 00:10:39,567
Did they hold?
315
00:10:39,567 --> 00:10:41,667
[Nicole] I'd taken the dogs
out of the fryer,
316
00:10:41,667 --> 00:10:42,867
I saw they were sticking,
317
00:10:42,867 --> 00:10:44,000
and I knew
it was golden.
318
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,567
Ooh! That is what
I like to see.
319
00:10:46,567 --> 00:10:49,667
Nothing's on fire yet.
So I think I'm doing okay.
320
00:10:49,667 --> 00:10:53,066
We've seen chefs
have to incorporate
one whammy ingredient
321
00:10:53,066 --> 00:10:54,867
into their dish
and struggle.
322
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:57,600
And these firefighter chefs
now have to incorporate three.
323
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,166
[Karen] Chili con queso,
jalapeño potato chips,
serrano peppers.
324
00:11:01,166 --> 00:11:04,300
But here's the thing.
Firefighters, they're all
ready to go.
325
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:06,266
Down the pole
and out the door.
326
00:11:06,266 --> 00:11:07,400
Chef, what's on the menu?
327
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,100
I call it my five-alarm
orange chicken.
328
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,266
[Guy] And you're gonna
be able to incorporate
these other ingredients?
329
00:11:11,266 --> 00:11:12,800
[Jonathan] They work
with my dish perfectly.
330
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,767
Perfect.
331
00:11:13,767 --> 00:11:15,400
This is definitely
the firehouse favorite.
332
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,367
I make this all the time,
The guys love it.
333
00:11:17,367 --> 00:11:19,100
First thing I wanna do
is my sauce.
334
00:11:19,100 --> 00:11:20,467
Orange juice
and corn starch.
335
00:11:20,467 --> 00:11:21,867
Ginger, garlic,
336
00:11:21,867 --> 00:11:22,767
soy sauce,
337
00:11:22,767 --> 00:11:24,266
Sriracha
and white vinegar.
338
00:11:24,266 --> 00:11:25,767
At home I make
a lot of orange chicken,
339
00:11:25,767 --> 00:11:27,567
but the firehouse is
where I definitely get
340
00:11:27,567 --> 00:11:29,767
a little bit more of
my experimenting in.
341
00:11:29,767 --> 00:11:31,066
Want some heat?
This will be hot.
342
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:33,900
Next thing, I'm gonna add
my whammy ingredient,
the serranos.
343
00:11:33,900 --> 00:11:35,867
While my sauce
is simmering down
and reducing,
344
00:11:35,867 --> 00:11:37,266
I wanna get started
on this rice.
345
00:11:37,266 --> 00:11:38,867
I like to put sugar
in the rice.
346
00:11:38,867 --> 00:11:41,166
Makes it a little bit sweeter,
a little bit sticker,
and adds some good flavor.
347
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:43,567
What are you gonna
make, chef?
348
00:11:43,567 --> 00:11:45,867
I'm gonna make
a spicy pasta
349
00:11:45,867 --> 00:11:48,467
with a cream sauce
and some sausage.
350
00:11:48,467 --> 00:11:50,000
Got it. Got it.
351
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,500
[Viviana] First thing
I'm going to get started is,
352
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:54,367
my sausage
and pepper mix
for my pasta.
353
00:11:55,467 --> 00:11:57,100
I wanna try
my serrano peppers,
354
00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,266
because it's going to bring
all the flavors out.
355
00:11:59,266 --> 00:12:00,667
It's gonna give you
that pop.
356
00:12:00,667 --> 00:12:02,367
We make pasta a lot
all the time.
357
00:12:02,367 --> 00:12:04,066
Next, chili con queso sauce.
358
00:12:04,066 --> 00:12:06,767
I actually think the cheese
is maybe the hottest one.
359
00:12:06,767 --> 00:12:08,200
I take a chip
and I dip it in it
360
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,000
And that's what I do
with chili con queso.
361
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,367
I don't ever cook with it.
362
00:12:11,367 --> 00:12:12,600
[Viviana]
With the limited time
that we had,
363
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,400
I was going to go with
cream-based pasta.
364
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,467
The chili con queso
was pretty spicy.
365
00:12:17,467 --> 00:12:19,166
Being Hispanic,
being Cuban,
366
00:12:19,166 --> 00:12:20,500
we cook with a lot of spice.
367
00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:21,800
That is definitely spicy.
368
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,100
It hurts my eyes already.
369
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:25,467
At the firehouse,
they do like spicy food.
370
00:12:25,467 --> 00:12:28,100
I don't live with my family,
I'm nine hours away from them.
371
00:12:28,100 --> 00:12:29,634
Firefighters are my family.
372
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:32,467
It's coming.
373
00:12:32,467 --> 00:12:33,667
All right, bud.
374
00:12:33,667 --> 00:12:34,600
What's the idea here?
375
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,867
I'm gonna do
a buffalo chicken sandwich.
376
00:12:36,867 --> 00:12:38,266
-I'm gonna fry it up.
-Okay.
377
00:12:38,266 --> 00:12:41,066
[Boh] Gonna
put it in the dredge,
you know, a little egg.
378
00:12:41,066 --> 00:12:42,100
What'd you season
the flour with?
379
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:44,600
[Boh] Smoked paprika,
cayenne, salt, pepper.
380
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,367
-You gonna dredge 'em
into those chips?
-[Boh] Yeah.
381
00:12:47,367 --> 00:12:50,000
Jalapeño chips, like,
in my opinion,
not really too spicy.
382
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,266
Little salty, so,
383
00:12:51,266 --> 00:12:53,767
it might work
in my favor.
384
00:12:53,767 --> 00:12:56,100
Engine 52, Baltimore.
385
00:12:56,100 --> 00:12:58,266
They love eating, so,
386
00:12:58,266 --> 00:13:00,233
kind of just cook to
make everybody happy.
387
00:13:00,967 --> 00:13:02,867
There we go.
388
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:05,467
Next, I'm gonna start
working on this buffalo sauce.
389
00:13:05,467 --> 00:13:07,200
[Guy] So you're getting
into a hot honey now?
390
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,467
[Boh] Yeah.
Mix it with the
barbecue sauce.
391
00:13:09,467 --> 00:13:10,367
All right.
392
00:13:10,367 --> 00:13:12,667
I take the red light
special serrano pepper,
393
00:13:12,667 --> 00:13:14,667
split it in half with
the seeds and everything
394
00:13:14,667 --> 00:13:16,767
be in the sauce,
just to give it
a little extra kick.
395
00:13:16,767 --> 00:13:17,934
That's a good move.
396
00:13:18,700 --> 00:13:20,967
Chefs, we are
at the halfway point.
397
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:22,000
Fifteen minutes to go.
398
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,100
Where's the mayo going?
399
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:24,200
[Nicole] It's gonna be
in the sauce
400
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,100
that I'm gonna make
with the queso.
401
00:13:26,100 --> 00:13:26,967
Got it.
402
00:13:26,967 --> 00:13:28,467
[Nicole] Grab the mayo,
Sriracha,
403
00:13:28,467 --> 00:13:30,967
and dumped in
as much as I could.
404
00:13:30,967 --> 00:13:32,667
But I can feel
some heat in there
405
00:13:32,667 --> 00:13:34,600
and I don't want to
overpower the judges
406
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,166
with all of the peppers.
407
00:13:36,166 --> 00:13:39,200
I'm gonna throw them
into the deep fryer,
408
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,533
take some of that heat out.
409
00:13:41,867 --> 00:13:43,300
Oh, that's perfect.
410
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:44,800
So while my sauce
is reducing down,
411
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,166
I know I need to get
working on my chicken.
412
00:13:46,166 --> 00:13:48,700
So for the dredge,
I know I wanna get
those jalapeño chips
413
00:13:48,700 --> 00:13:51,400
right over into
the food processor.
414
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,000
[Aarti] He's doing
a five-alarm orange chicken.
415
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
How is the cheese gonna work
416
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,767
into that dish?
417
00:13:58,767 --> 00:14:00,600
[Jonathan]
Let's throw some
chili queso in here.
418
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,634
Why the heck not?
419
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,467
And then it hits me.
420
00:14:03,467 --> 00:14:05,266
I can throw this
into the dredge
421
00:14:05,266 --> 00:14:08,567
because it's got dairy in it,
it's gonna pair nicely, and...
422
00:14:08,567 --> 00:14:10,767
Heck, if I can mask
a little bit of this flavor,
423
00:14:10,767 --> 00:14:12,000
then made it in the dish.
424
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,266
So I am married
to my wife Cheryl.
425
00:14:14,266 --> 00:14:17,300
We have three kids,
with one more coming
very soon.
426
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:19,066
If I win the money today,
I'm gonna put it away
427
00:14:19,066 --> 00:14:21,400
and wait until after
the baby's born,
428
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,100
and then we will
go on a trip,
429
00:14:23,100 --> 00:14:24,667
just me and my wife.
430
00:14:26,367 --> 00:14:28,300
[Viviana] I want
my sauce to be...
431
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:29,567
perfect.
432
00:14:29,567 --> 00:14:31,567
Not too thick,
not too runny.
433
00:14:31,567 --> 00:14:33,467
I was scared that
it was gonna be too thick.
434
00:14:33,467 --> 00:14:35,400
So I added more
heavy whipping cream.
435
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,567
Then it was
getting too runny.
436
00:14:37,567 --> 00:14:40,800
Then I decided to throw
the pasta into my cream sauce.
437
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,667
Winning today
will get me
a step closer
438
00:14:42,667 --> 00:14:44,300
into opening up
my Cuban popup.
439
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:46,467
A bar and restaurant
440
00:14:46,467 --> 00:14:49,200
having my own Cuban
layer in it.
441
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,967
There's a plan.
442
00:14:50,967 --> 00:14:52,667
[Guy] Got good heat in there,
I'll give you that.
443
00:14:52,667 --> 00:14:54,166
Good, like to hear that.
444
00:14:54,166 --> 00:14:55,767
[Guy] Eight minutes,
eight to go.
445
00:14:55,767 --> 00:14:58,500
Whoa. It looks like Boh's
already pulled his chicken
out of the fryer.
446
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:00,600
You see the color on that?
447
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,266
-That's really good.
-Beautiful. That's golden
brown delicious.
448
00:15:02,266 --> 00:15:04,000
[Boh] Bacon is cooking.
449
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,100
So the last thing
I want to do is
figure out this queso
450
00:15:07,100 --> 00:15:09,066
that's gonna go over
top of the sandwich.
451
00:15:09,066 --> 00:15:11,266
Chop up some of
the serrano peppers,
452
00:15:11,266 --> 00:15:12,367
and throw them in as well,
453
00:15:12,367 --> 00:15:14,000
just to give it
extra kick.
454
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,166
I went to grab
some cheddar cheese.
455
00:15:16,166 --> 00:15:18,367
Little cheesy element
that most people like.
456
00:15:18,367 --> 00:15:20,767
Except for me.
I'm lactose intolerant.
457
00:15:20,767 --> 00:15:22,100
I don't eat cheese at all.
458
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:24,166
I don't eat dairy.
459
00:15:24,166 --> 00:15:27,166
Chef, you got some
pretty thick pieces
of chicken.
460
00:15:27,166 --> 00:15:29,867
And I'm not sure
that you're cooked
all the way through.
461
00:15:29,867 --> 00:15:30,800
Right.
462
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,867
It's starting to get
a little wary.
463
00:15:31,867 --> 00:15:33,166
I didn't come
to Flavortown today
464
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:34,800
to serve the judges
undercooked chicken.
465
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,667
I'm just gonna leave
this chicken in the oven
till the last possible second
466
00:15:37,667 --> 00:15:39,867
to make sure that it's
cooked all the way through.
467
00:15:39,867 --> 00:15:41,600
Five minutes.
Five to go.
468
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,166
[Nicole] Serrano peppers,
469
00:15:43,166 --> 00:15:44,300
I take them out of the fryer.
470
00:15:44,300 --> 00:15:46,066
I put the bun
on the plate.
471
00:15:46,066 --> 00:15:48,100
I put in
the Sonoran dog
472
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:51,000
and then I top it
with the grilled onions
473
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,100
and the peppers.
474
00:15:52,100 --> 00:15:55,767
I drizzle a little
queso Sriracha sauce
on the top.
475
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:57,900
And I put the rest
into ramekins.
476
00:15:57,900 --> 00:15:59,700
If the judges want
a little bit more spice,
477
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:03,066
they can always dip
the Sonoran dog
into the Sriracha sauce.
478
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,400
[Jonathan]
So I check
on the chicken,
479
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,266
and it is looking perfect.
480
00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:09,467
After I had
some sauce on it, I knew
481
00:16:09,467 --> 00:16:10,734
this is gonna be a home run.
482
00:16:11,467 --> 00:16:13,000
I wanna get
my rice on the plate,
483
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,767
then I add my five-alarm
orange chicken
right next to it.
484
00:16:15,767 --> 00:16:18,100
I'm gonna make sure
that there's some heat in it,
485
00:16:18,100 --> 00:16:19,700
finishing the chicken
with that Sriracha.
486
00:16:19,700 --> 00:16:22,400
Oh my gosh.
Okay, Jonathan
is squeezing
487
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,500
an entire bottle
of Sriracha right over
the orange chicken
488
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:28,467
and over the rice.
489
00:16:28,467 --> 00:16:29,767
That's too much, right?
490
00:16:30,767 --> 00:16:32,767
[Guy] Three minutes.
491
00:16:32,767 --> 00:16:35,100
[Viviana] I throw
my pasta into bowls.
492
00:16:35,100 --> 00:16:38,500
And then I grab
the sausage and peppers
493
00:16:38,500 --> 00:16:40,200
and toss them
on top of my pasta.
494
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,967
Then I garnish with
green onions and some
more cheese.
495
00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:45,000
I have to use jalapeño
potato chips.
496
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,367
So I crush them on top
497
00:16:46,367 --> 00:16:47,934
kind of to give it
a little crunch.
498
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:53,100
Ninety seconds, chefs,
ninety seconds.
499
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,000
[Boh] Time's moving
a lot faster than
I want it to.
500
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,467
Take the chicken
out the oven,
501
00:16:57,467 --> 00:16:59,834
checking on temperature.
This is a big moment.
502
00:17:00,567 --> 00:17:01,667
166.
503
00:17:01,667 --> 00:17:03,266
-And it is perfect.
-[Simon] Nice.
504
00:17:03,266 --> 00:17:04,400
Yay!
505
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,567
[Guy] Forty-five seconds.
506
00:17:05,567 --> 00:17:07,667
[Boh] Put the bottom bun down,
507
00:17:07,667 --> 00:17:09,266
toss the chicken
in the sauce,
508
00:17:10,266 --> 00:17:11,967
and the bacon
on top,
509
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:15,700
lay the cheese
across the top
of the sandwich.
510
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:20,166
Five, four, three,
two, one.
511
00:17:20,166 --> 00:17:21,433
That's it.
512
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,000
Good job, everyone.
513
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,367
I gotta tell,
you all are fire!
514
00:17:28,367 --> 00:17:30,367
Let's take those spicy
firehouse favorites
515
00:17:30,367 --> 00:17:32,233
to the judges
right this way.
516
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:43,200
All right, judges,
this is it.
517
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,066
Our chef firefighters
had to shop
518
00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:47,667
for their spicy
firehouse favorite.
519
00:17:47,667 --> 00:17:49,867
Then I hit them
with a three-alarm
fire sale,
520
00:17:49,867 --> 00:17:51,166
which they were
so excited,
521
00:17:51,166 --> 00:17:53,166
featuring three
red light specials
522
00:17:53,166 --> 00:17:54,667
that they had to
incorporate in their dish.
523
00:17:54,667 --> 00:17:56,266
- [fire siren blaring]
-Jalapeño potato chips,
524
00:17:56,266 --> 00:17:59,000
chili con queso,
and serrano peppers.
525
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,066
Chef Viviana,
what have you got for us?
526
00:18:01,066 --> 00:18:03,100
Pasta is a big thing
in the fire station.
527
00:18:03,100 --> 00:18:05,467
I did pasta, and I made
my own cream sauce
528
00:18:05,467 --> 00:18:08,000
with chili con queso
and heavy whipping cream.
529
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,900
I sauteed the sausage
with the onions
and my peppers
530
00:18:10,900 --> 00:18:14,200
and I topped off
the potato chips,
531
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,700
as a little crunch.
532
00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:17,800
Enjoy, chefs.
533
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,100
So everybody's got to
carry a fire hose.
534
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:22,467
Do all that heavy lifting
and you're putting
cream sauce on them.
535
00:18:22,467 --> 00:18:24,800
The boys don't like
to be hungry.
536
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,400
There is definitely
some heat in here.
537
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,467
I get some sweetness
from the peppers,
538
00:18:29,467 --> 00:18:32,367
because you got
a nice little
roasty toasty char
539
00:18:32,367 --> 00:18:35,567
on the outside of them
and I really love that.
540
00:18:35,567 --> 00:18:37,900
I would love
so much more herb.
541
00:18:37,900 --> 00:18:41,166
Something nice and fresh
because it needs
some high notes.
542
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:42,467
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you, chef.
543
00:18:42,467 --> 00:18:44,367
[Karen] Viviana, I love
that you made a pasta.
544
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:46,200
I like that you used
the shorter egg noodles,
545
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,166
and I like that they were
the same size as the sausage.
546
00:18:48,166 --> 00:18:49,500
I thought that was
a nice touch.
547
00:18:49,500 --> 00:18:51,700
But I wish that
you could plate
prettier.
548
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:53,767
I think you could have been
a little bit more careful.
549
00:18:53,767 --> 00:18:54,667
Yes, ma'am.
550
00:18:54,667 --> 00:18:56,700
The potatoes on it,
the potato chips,
551
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:59,467
I don't think worked.
You've just kind of
crumbled them on top.
552
00:18:59,467 --> 00:19:01,767
But the cheesy pasta itself
553
00:19:01,767 --> 00:19:02,767
is lovely.
554
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:03,700
Thank you, chef.
555
00:19:03,700 --> 00:19:05,266
Okay, thank you
very much.
556
00:19:05,266 --> 00:19:07,367
Up next, Chef Nicole.
557
00:19:07,367 --> 00:19:10,900
Today, I've made for you
Selmer's spicy Sonoran dogs.
558
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:13,166
The serrano peppers
were deep-fried,
559
00:19:13,166 --> 00:19:14,867
and the queso I made
into a sauce.
560
00:19:14,867 --> 00:19:17,066
You can take the whole bun
and dunk it into the ramekin
561
00:19:17,066 --> 00:19:18,367
if you need
a little more heat.
562
00:19:18,367 --> 00:19:20,867
And I breaded
the whole shebang
563
00:19:20,867 --> 00:19:24,567
with the jalapeño
potato chips.
564
00:19:24,567 --> 00:19:27,367
I really like the way
that you've used each of those
565
00:19:27,367 --> 00:19:29,467
ingredients that have
been given to you.
566
00:19:29,467 --> 00:19:32,400
Those jalapeño chips
work really well.
567
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,700
They taste really nice
on there as well.
568
00:19:34,700 --> 00:19:35,767
Thank you, chef.
569
00:19:35,767 --> 00:19:38,400
Yeah, I was like,
"Those chips are
not gonna stick.
570
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,567
They're not gonna stick."
And they stick.
571
00:19:40,567 --> 00:19:41,867
And they're great!
572
00:19:41,867 --> 00:19:44,667
And the fried serranos
are like a game changer.
573
00:19:44,667 --> 00:19:46,066
It gets them
a little crispy,
574
00:19:46,066 --> 00:19:48,166
it does temper
their heat a little bit.
575
00:19:48,166 --> 00:19:50,266
So that was really cool
use of that ingredient.
576
00:19:50,266 --> 00:19:51,767
I do wish that
it was a little spicier.
577
00:19:51,767 --> 00:19:54,066
I wish that you had
taken this cheese sauce,
578
00:19:54,066 --> 00:19:56,800
and just put it all over
the hot dog like a...
579
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,000
a chili cheese dog.
580
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,200
-Oh, cool.
That would have been good.
-[Karen laughs]
581
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,367
If you have pickled
the serranos maybe,
582
00:20:02,367 --> 00:20:03,867
it would have brought
a little more acid
583
00:20:03,867 --> 00:20:05,400
and brightness
and balanced it out.
584
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,567
Thank you very much.
585
00:20:06,567 --> 00:20:08,967
All right. Up next, Chef Boh,
what have you got for us?
586
00:20:08,967 --> 00:20:11,100
I made for you guys
buffalo chicken sandwich.
587
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:13,166
I took the queso sauce,
588
00:20:13,166 --> 00:20:14,600
chopped up
some of the serranos,
589
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,100
put it in the cheese sauce,
590
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:18,867
the chicken was breaded
with the jalapeño chips,
591
00:20:18,867 --> 00:20:20,700
and then the hot sauce
is just...
592
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:21,967
Little hot sauce,
593
00:20:21,967 --> 00:20:24,166
some hot honey
and the serrano pepper.
594
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:25,400
Could you have
made it bigger?
595
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,600
[laughter]
596
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,100
I'd take a nap, get up,
eat the other quarter of it.
597
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:30,233
[chuckles]
598
00:20:30,233 --> 00:20:34,967
I loved the crisp exterior
on the outside
of that chicken.
599
00:20:34,967 --> 00:20:38,600
Using the chips as your dredge
was such a great gameplay.
600
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Your chicken is cooked
all the way through.
601
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,667
-Hurray, 'cause
we were concerned.
-Thank you.
602
00:20:43,667 --> 00:20:47,900
When I saw you take
the fried chicken and toss it
with that hot honey,
603
00:20:47,900 --> 00:20:49,367
I was so excited for it.
604
00:20:49,367 --> 00:20:51,567
Sweet and spicy,
that was so smart.
605
00:20:51,567 --> 00:20:53,467
I just wish that
it had more heat.
606
00:20:53,467 --> 00:20:54,967
Adding more serrano
to the sauce,
607
00:20:54,967 --> 00:20:57,600
that would've really
given it a little more heat.
608
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:58,500
[no audio]
609
00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:00,900
The cheese sauce has
gone very clumpy.
610
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,800
But I love the bacon,
I love the crumb
of that chicken sandwich.
611
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,600
-I think that's all fantastic.
-Thank you, chef.
612
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,166
All right. Chef Jonathan,
what do you have for us, bud?
613
00:21:10,166 --> 00:21:14,467
Chefs, today for you
I made my five-alarm
orange chicken.
614
00:21:14,467 --> 00:21:17,100
In order to fry the chicken
I used that chili queso.
615
00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:20,600
And then, for my breading,
I used ground up
jalapeño chips.
616
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,967
And then for the sauce,
it has serranos in it.
617
00:21:22,967 --> 00:21:25,166
And then I gave it
a little sriracha drizzle.
618
00:21:25,166 --> 00:21:27,400
I love the flavor
of your orange sauce.
619
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,166
It's so smart to use
the cheese sauce
as part of your breading.
620
00:21:31,166 --> 00:21:33,500
-That's great gameplay.
-Right. Thank you.
621
00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:36,100
The orange chicken itself
has a good texture.
622
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:39,266
It has a great heat.
You have those serranos.
623
00:21:39,266 --> 00:21:42,166
Out of everyone here
you've raised the heat
more than anybody.
624
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:46,066
But the rice
doesn't need anything.
625
00:21:46,066 --> 00:21:47,467
That's a cooling element.
626
00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:51,367
So putting sriracha on that,
to me, is a mistake.
627
00:21:51,367 --> 00:21:55,367
The plating, it's actually
a very pretty dish,
which counts, right?
628
00:21:55,367 --> 00:21:56,867
We eat with our eyes first.
629
00:21:56,867 --> 00:22:02,000
And I really like how much
different crispy-crunches
are here, using the chips.
630
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,100
So well done.
631
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:05,500
-Okay, thank you.
-[Guy] That's some
tasty sauce.
632
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:07,867
And this is something
you make regularly
at the firehouse?
633
00:22:07,867 --> 00:22:09,934
This is a refined over
many chef's recipe.
634
00:22:10,667 --> 00:22:12,367
If you see me knocking
on the door...
635
00:22:12,367 --> 00:22:14,266
there's a '68 Camaro
in the driveway,
636
00:22:14,266 --> 00:22:17,000
I won't block when
the engines come out.
I know that deal.
637
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,000
[all laughing]
638
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,200
Thank you, judges.
I think y'all made
really nice dishes.
639
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,767
Let's let the judges
deliberate. We're gonna send
you back to the kitchens.
640
00:22:24,767 --> 00:22:28,367
We'll call you
when we have a decision.
Thank you very much.
641
00:22:28,367 --> 00:22:31,166
Judges, 20 points available
in gameplay,
642
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:33,734
20 points available on taste,
10 points on plating.
643
00:22:34,567 --> 00:22:36,533
So which spicy firehouse
flavor brought the heat?
644
00:22:46,867 --> 00:22:49,867
All right. It is time to
add up the numbers
your spicy dish
645
00:22:49,867 --> 00:22:52,667
proved that you have
a burning culinary passion.
646
00:22:53,867 --> 00:22:58,200
Chef Boh,
13 out of 20 in gameplay,
647
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,867
16 out of 20 in taste,
648
00:23:00,867 --> 00:23:04,367
seven out of 10 for plating,
for a total of 36.
649
00:23:06,767 --> 00:23:07,800
Viviana,
650
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,300
13 out of 20 in gameplay,
14 out of 20 in taste,
651
00:23:12,300 --> 00:23:15,667
six out of 10 for plating,
for a score of 33.
652
00:23:17,867 --> 00:23:22,266
Jonathan,
16 out of 20 in gameplay,
653
00:23:22,266 --> 00:23:26,100
16 out of 20 in taste,
eight out of 10 for plating,
654
00:23:26,100 --> 00:23:27,634
40. Nice score.
655
00:23:29,667 --> 00:23:33,100
All right, Viviana, this is
going to be the end
of the fire-engine ride
656
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:36,567
unless Nicole comes in
at a 33 or lower.
657
00:23:36,567 --> 00:23:39,500
15 out of 20 in gameplay,
658
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,867
17 out of 20 in taste,
659
00:23:41,867 --> 00:23:46,200
seven out of 10 for plating
for a 39. Congratulation,
second place.
660
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Unfortunately, Viviana,
you're going home.
661
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,700
And it takes a lot of courage,
and a lot of guts
for anybody to come in here
662
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:54,100
and compete in
Flavortown Market.
663
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,967
I'm sorry 33 doesn't
keep you, but it sure
was great to meet you.
664
00:23:56,967 --> 00:23:58,800
[Viviana]
I probably could've made
my plate more presentable.
665
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,066
Nice meeting you.
666
00:24:00,066 --> 00:24:02,100
And make the flavors
come together
a little bit better.
667
00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:03,967
Come here.
Very nice to meet you.
668
00:24:03,967 --> 00:24:06,800
I'm very proud of myself that
I was able to execute
669
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,467
when you have
30 minutes to do it.
Pretty amazing.
670
00:24:11,166 --> 00:24:14,266
-The three of you really
smoked that round one.
-[all chuckling dryly]
671
00:24:14,266 --> 00:24:16,433
That's the only joke
I have for you.
672
00:24:17,367 --> 00:24:18,800
So for the final challenge...
673
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,667
I want you to make
a beautifully plated dish
to impress the boss.
674
00:24:23,667 --> 00:24:25,667
I want you to cook
for your captain.
675
00:24:25,667 --> 00:24:27,333
Not just a bucket
of fried chicken...
676
00:24:28,367 --> 00:24:30,767
Bucket... Bucket... That's...
677
00:24:30,767 --> 00:24:32,266
That reminds me.
678
00:24:32,266 --> 00:24:35,100
The next game is gonna
be inspired by buckets.
679
00:24:35,100 --> 00:24:37,100
Back how firefighters
used to fight in the old days.
680
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:39,800
Town folk fought fires
by doing the bucket brigade.
681
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,266
Filling one
and passing it along.
682
00:24:41,266 --> 00:24:42,667
The volunteers passed
the buckets...
683
00:24:42,667 --> 00:24:45,867
from the nearest
watering hole area
to wherever the fire was.
684
00:24:45,867 --> 00:24:48,467
So why don't you
go ahead and step
in front of your carts...
685
00:24:48,467 --> 00:24:50,667
You're really gonna
appreciate this.
686
00:24:50,667 --> 00:24:52,467
Bucket brigade.
So what's gonna happen is,
687
00:24:52,467 --> 00:24:55,367
Hunter is going to
bucket brigade
in a bucket to you.
688
00:24:55,367 --> 00:24:56,767
Once you see the bucket...
689
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,166
you look inside of it,
if you wanna keep that item,
690
00:25:00,166 --> 00:25:02,467
it's a must use ingredient
in your dish.
691
00:25:02,467 --> 00:25:05,767
If you don't want it,
you can pass it on.
692
00:25:05,767 --> 00:25:08,300
Jonathan, because
you were first,
693
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:13,800
I'm going to allow you
to get the first bucket
in the bucket brigade.
694
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,667
I'm gonna
have you guys swap.
695
00:25:15,667 --> 00:25:18,500
So now when the bucket brigade
come in, it'll go Jonathan...
696
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,166
and then Nicole,
and last, it'll go to you.
697
00:25:21,166 --> 00:25:23,166
Boh, if you don't like it,
you set it down.
698
00:25:23,166 --> 00:25:26,967
But at the end of it, when the
last bucket comes through,
you may be stuck with it.
699
00:25:26,967 --> 00:25:30,066
Let's go.
Bucket brigade, bring it out.
700
00:25:30,066 --> 00:25:32,700
When these start getting
handed to you, you either
take it or you move it.
701
00:25:32,700 --> 00:25:34,967
Here we go,
bucket brigade. Go!
702
00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:36,567
[Jonathan]
I don't wanna pass off
something I might've wanted,
703
00:25:36,567 --> 00:25:38,100
and I don't even know
what's coming up next.
704
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:40,266
I am feeling
pretty overwhelmed with this.
705
00:25:40,266 --> 00:25:42,166
Liquid smoke
is way too powerful.
706
00:25:42,166 --> 00:25:44,100
[Boh] First bucket I get
is the liquid smoke.
707
00:25:44,100 --> 00:25:47,133
There's a couple of different
ways that I can use this.
So I just go with it.
708
00:25:47,767 --> 00:25:49,400
You want it?
Put it in your basket.
709
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,066
[Nicole] I started to panic,
so I grabbed the first
one that looked familiar,
710
00:25:52,066 --> 00:25:53,300
pancake mix.
711
00:25:53,300 --> 00:25:55,166
There you go,
last two coming your way!
712
00:25:55,166 --> 00:25:58,066
[Jonathan] Boxed mashed
potatoes, well, I know there
are potatoes in my next dish.
713
00:25:58,066 --> 00:26:00,200
So let's see what
I can do with this.
714
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:01,567
[Guy] Great!
715
00:26:01,567 --> 00:26:03,867
Boh, what did you grab
for your bucket?
716
00:26:03,867 --> 00:26:05,567
-Some liquid smoke.
-Okay.
717
00:26:05,567 --> 00:26:07,300
[Nicole] Pancake mix.
718
00:26:07,300 --> 00:26:09,500
-All right.
-Mashed potatoes.
719
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:10,800
Do you use
boxed mashed potatoes
at the firehouse?
720
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:11,767
Never.
721
00:26:14,567 --> 00:26:16,000
'Cause here's
what's gonna happen.
722
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,767
You have 30 minutes
to shop, prepare and plate
your captain's dinner
723
00:26:18,767 --> 00:26:20,767
using your
mandatory ingredient.
724
00:26:20,767 --> 00:26:24,266
But I know, as firefighters,
you like to be
nimble and quick.
725
00:26:24,266 --> 00:26:25,867
I don't want you
pushing those carts around.
726
00:26:25,867 --> 00:26:27,233
How about you just
use those buckets?
727
00:26:27,967 --> 00:26:28,834
Right?
728
00:26:29,767 --> 00:26:31,567
You remember.
You just take those buckets
729
00:26:31,567 --> 00:26:34,900
and when I go three,
two, one, go,
you carry that bucket...
730
00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:36,433
Ha! Gotcha on that one!
731
00:26:36,667 --> 00:26:38,200
[cackles]
732
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,867
[Nicole] I'm regretting
the fact that I panicked
and took the pancake mix.
733
00:26:40,867 --> 00:26:43,767
But it was the first one
that looked familiar.
I'm gonna roll with it.
734
00:26:43,767 --> 00:26:48,300
My husband's favorite way
to fry fish is equal parts
fish seasoning,
735
00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:50,166
and pancake mix.
736
00:26:50,166 --> 00:26:51,767
I'm gonna go for seasoned.
737
00:26:53,867 --> 00:26:55,967
Pick up in aisle
whatever this is.
738
00:26:55,967 --> 00:26:58,600
I decide to do
a Minnesota fish fry
with sole.
739
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Tartar sauce is one of
the most important components
of a fish fry.
740
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,100
I need relish
and horse radish.
741
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:08,266
It gives it a little bit
of a kick, but it's not
too overpowering.
742
00:27:08,266 --> 00:27:11,000
Normally, I'm gonna
pair it with coleslaw...
743
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,100
Lemon!
744
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:14,000
...but it's not fancy enough
for a captain's dinner.
745
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,767
I need some summer squash.
746
00:27:15,767 --> 00:27:19,300
At home, we do this.
I take it right out of
the garden and we grill it.
747
00:27:19,300 --> 00:27:21,967
-Does your captain
like a lot of squash?
-Loves it.
748
00:27:21,967 --> 00:27:23,867
I can't see the bottom
of my bucket anymore...
749
00:27:23,867 --> 00:27:26,467
because I've got everything
heaped up over the top.
750
00:27:26,467 --> 00:27:28,400
Hope I got everything.
751
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,667
I'm regretting the fact that
it's entirely filled with
this giant box of pancake mix.
752
00:27:33,667 --> 00:27:37,000
That's the most zucchini
I've ever seen
anybody shop for
753
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,433
in Grocery Games.
754
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,266
[Boh] So I only have one shot,
755
00:27:41,266 --> 00:27:44,266
and I have to fit
all my ingredients
inside of this bucket.
756
00:27:44,266 --> 00:27:48,166
One of my favorite things
to cook that everyone loves
at the fire station...
757
00:27:48,166 --> 00:27:50,867
is my salmon.
Top thing on my list to cook.
758
00:27:50,867 --> 00:27:54,166
And the liquid smoke just
give it that smoky flavor.
759
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:55,767
All right.
760
00:27:55,767 --> 00:27:59,200
So to go with the salmon
I wanna do a corn succotash.
761
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,333
Kind of a special occasion
type of thing.
762
00:28:01,967 --> 00:28:03,400
This is fit for a captain.
763
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,000
The salsa verde
gives it a little kick to it,
764
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,066
but also add the flavor
to the corn.
765
00:28:08,066 --> 00:28:10,500
Something that
both looks good
and tastes good
766
00:28:10,500 --> 00:28:14,367
so that they can enjoy it
and be like, "Dang,
that's a nice dish."
767
00:28:14,367 --> 00:28:17,567
-Boh, once you're done
shopping, you're done.
-[Boh] Yes, sir.
768
00:28:17,567 --> 00:28:18,533
Okay.
769
00:28:19,266 --> 00:28:21,100
Pork, pork,
pork, pork, pork.
770
00:28:21,100 --> 00:28:23,467
For my cook for my captain
meal, I'm making
one of his favorites.
771
00:28:23,467 --> 00:28:27,800
My pork chops with a creamy
Dijon-spinach sauce...
772
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,500
and mashed potatoes
as a base.
773
00:28:29,500 --> 00:28:32,867
Boxed mashed potatoes
are bland, and they are gummy.
774
00:28:32,867 --> 00:28:34,467
Some garlic and onion.
775
00:28:34,467 --> 00:28:37,066
I need something
fresher than just
boxed mashed potatoes.
776
00:28:37,066 --> 00:28:38,500
So these extra potatoes,
they're tiny,
777
00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:41,066
I know they're gonna
cook fast, and I can
squeeze 'em into my bucket.
778
00:28:41,066 --> 00:28:42,800
I gotta make sure that
he is happy.
779
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,767
Heavy cream.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
780
00:28:45,767 --> 00:28:47,100
[Guy] This'll be interesting.
781
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:50,667
I don't know about you,
but I hear that firehouse
parties are lit!
782
00:28:50,667 --> 00:28:51,834
[buzzer whomping]
783
00:28:51,900 --> 00:28:53,467
No?
784
00:28:53,467 --> 00:28:54,967
Twenty-five
minutes, chefs!
785
00:28:54,967 --> 00:28:57,266
-Okay.
-What's up with
the zucchini?
786
00:28:57,266 --> 00:29:00,266
[Nicole] Uh, I'm gonna grill
some summer squash.
787
00:29:00,266 --> 00:29:03,100
It's one of my favorite things
that I cook in my garden.
788
00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,000
I don't know if it's gonna
go with the rest of my dish.
789
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,367
-But I'm gonna wing it.
I know!
-That's kind of a problem.
790
00:29:07,367 --> 00:29:10,567
But I, I panicked.
I took the pancake mix,
791
00:29:10,567 --> 00:29:12,000
when I didn't
really want it.
792
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,467
But I can think on my feet.
I'm gonna be okay.
793
00:29:14,467 --> 00:29:17,467
Okay. That's what
firefighters do,
adapt and overcome.
794
00:29:17,467 --> 00:29:19,767
One of the biggest challenges
I think is that...
795
00:29:19,767 --> 00:29:23,200
they only have the bucket
to shop with, and they can't
go back to the market.
796
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,166
This competition
is one of the hardest
I've ever seen.
797
00:29:26,166 --> 00:29:27,100
[Aarti] It's a lot.
798
00:29:35,867 --> 00:29:38,367
[Guy] Twenty-three
minutes! Twenty-three left!
799
00:29:38,367 --> 00:29:40,700
[Aarti] Looks like Boh
chose liquid smoke,
800
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:43,300
Jonathan chose
boxed mashed potatoes,
801
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:46,166
and Nicole chose
pancake mix!
802
00:29:46,166 --> 00:29:48,367
I really love
what Nicole's doing.
803
00:29:48,367 --> 00:29:51,100
She scooped out
the core of her squash,
804
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:54,867
stuffed it with goat cheese.
And that feels kind of
fancy to me.
805
00:29:54,867 --> 00:29:56,266
[Nicole]
Add a little balsamic.
806
00:29:56,266 --> 00:30:00,367
Now that my squash
is on the grill,
I can get started on the fish.
807
00:30:00,367 --> 00:30:03,667
I'm gonna use equal parts
pancake mix and fish sauce.
808
00:30:03,667 --> 00:30:07,934
This would be like cooking
for my captain when we're,
had a really nice day...
809
00:30:08,867 --> 00:30:10,000
on the water.
810
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,667
When Guy said,
"Cook for your captain",
811
00:30:11,667 --> 00:30:14,400
I immediately thought
about cooking
for my husband.
812
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,066
'Cause he steers
our family ship.
813
00:30:16,066 --> 00:30:18,266
We have two sons,
Jake and Max.
814
00:30:18,266 --> 00:30:20,667
We've been saving since
they were babies.
815
00:30:20,667 --> 00:30:23,867
If I win some money today,
I would love to put it toward
their college education.
816
00:30:23,867 --> 00:30:26,100
It's always so delicate.
817
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:29,700
I wonder if it wouldn't have
benefitted from a little,
a little pan fry.
818
00:30:29,700 --> 00:30:31,400
Yes, that's what
I would've thought.
819
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,367
Hopefully they don't stick.
820
00:30:34,567 --> 00:30:37,166
The three firefighters
competing this round.
821
00:30:37,166 --> 00:30:41,467
Boh had the lowest score,
and so he has the most
ground to cover.
822
00:30:41,467 --> 00:30:43,266
So he's really
gotta bring it.
823
00:30:43,266 --> 00:30:44,767
What's your gameplan
over here, Boh?
824
00:30:44,767 --> 00:30:48,100
I'm gonna do a little
roasted corn succotash
with some salmon.
825
00:30:48,100 --> 00:30:51,200
And the liquid smoke
is gonna go with the salmon.
Put a little bit in the...
826
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,100
-succotash as well. Everybody
really likes a salmon.
-Okay.
827
00:30:55,100 --> 00:30:57,467
And the corn is one
of my favorite things to eat.
828
00:30:57,467 --> 00:30:59,567
Corn succotash
says captain to me.
829
00:30:59,567 --> 00:31:02,100
It gives you some vegetables
and freshness,
830
00:31:02,100 --> 00:31:06,667
jalapeño, red peppers,
some green onions.
831
00:31:06,667 --> 00:31:10,266
The second round,
I'm feeling a lot better
than the first round.
832
00:31:10,266 --> 00:31:11,767
The nerves has calmed down.
833
00:31:11,767 --> 00:31:14,467
So I'm adding
a little liquid smoke
to the succotash.
834
00:31:14,467 --> 00:31:15,800
I seen the show
a couple of times.
835
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,266
So I wanna make sure
that they can actually
taste it in the dish.
836
00:31:18,266 --> 00:31:21,000
I don't use
liquid smoke at all.
837
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,900
It is strong.
It is an assertive ingredient.
838
00:31:23,900 --> 00:31:27,934
[Boh] I also put salsa verde
to help marry
all the flavors together.
839
00:31:30,166 --> 00:31:31,967
So good.
840
00:31:31,967 --> 00:31:33,567
All right, Jonathan,
what's on the menu, bud?
841
00:31:33,567 --> 00:31:36,800
I'm making some pork chops
with some creamy
Dijon-spinach sauce.
842
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,467
Then I'll have
the mashed potatoes as kind of
a blanket platter for it.
843
00:31:40,467 --> 00:31:42,000
-Got it.
-Potatoes, third cup milk.
844
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,300
First thing I wanna do
is start with
my whammy ingredient,
845
00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:45,266
boxed mashed potatoes.
846
00:31:45,266 --> 00:31:47,000
Let's just get
these out of the way.
847
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:48,867
I wanna make sure these
potatoes have some flavor,
848
00:31:48,867 --> 00:31:50,166
otherwise you're just
eating baby food.
849
00:31:50,166 --> 00:31:52,700
I add in some onion powder,
add some more milk.
850
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:54,867
I'm not serving
baby food to my captain.
851
00:31:54,867 --> 00:31:56,133
Definitely quarter
my potatoes.
852
00:31:56,133 --> 00:31:59,467
I'm hoping my baby potatoes,
that I can add
to the Dijon sauce
853
00:31:59,467 --> 00:32:02,266
will help mask
a little bit of these
boxed mashed potatoes.
854
00:32:02,266 --> 00:32:04,667
I was cutting it close.
I had no room for error.
855
00:32:04,667 --> 00:32:07,166
I needed it to be perfect
for that whole 30 minutes.
856
00:32:07,166 --> 00:32:09,367
Chefs, we are at
the halfway point.
857
00:32:09,367 --> 00:32:11,300
Fifteen minutes
to go! 15!
858
00:32:11,300 --> 00:32:13,900
Usually when they start
floating, they're done.
859
00:32:13,900 --> 00:32:17,300
Pancake mix in the breading
is the way to go.
860
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:20,066
My squash is on the grill.
Check on 'em.
861
00:32:20,066 --> 00:32:21,367
This isn't quite done.
862
00:32:22,166 --> 00:32:23,634
I'll let it go
a little bit longer.
863
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,667
Now I'm gonna make
sea tartar sauce.
864
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,767
I've got mayo, a relish,
a lot of lemon.
865
00:32:30,767 --> 00:32:33,900
And my secret special
element, horseradish,
866
00:32:33,900 --> 00:32:37,000
that gives it
a little bit of a kick,
but it's not too overpowering.
867
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,467
Better than I expected.
868
00:32:40,266 --> 00:32:42,467
Oh, no. I bet you
my squash is burning.
869
00:32:42,467 --> 00:32:43,867
Oh, no.
870
00:32:43,867 --> 00:32:47,000
[Nicole] Maybe some char
will really help.
871
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,667
Those beautiful squash are now
five-alarm fire burnt.
872
00:32:51,667 --> 00:32:54,967
[Boh] While my succotash
is cooking, I'm gonna
work on my salmon.
873
00:32:54,967 --> 00:32:57,867
So in the salmon,
it's just salt, pepper
and the Cajun seasoning.
874
00:32:57,867 --> 00:32:59,000
Liquid smoke.
875
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,400
Like a liquid
smoke butter, I guess.
876
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,567
-[Aarti] It smells
like a fire. I can smell it.
-I can smell it from here.
877
00:33:05,567 --> 00:33:08,900
[Boh] Salmon dish
is something that
not only firefighters love,
878
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:10,100
but my family loves.
879
00:33:10,100 --> 00:33:12,300
I'm here competing today
for my family.
880
00:33:12,300 --> 00:33:15,300
My wife's name is Ashley.
We got seven kids at home.
881
00:33:15,300 --> 00:33:18,367
She's with the children
the majority of the time
with me being at work.
882
00:33:18,367 --> 00:33:20,100
So, whatever money
I win today,
883
00:33:20,100 --> 00:33:22,867
I'll put towards taking
my wife somewhere nice.
884
00:33:22,867 --> 00:33:24,867
With seven kids,
it's kind of hard to get away.
885
00:33:24,867 --> 00:33:26,266
[Guy] How heavy did you go
on that liquid smoke?
886
00:33:26,266 --> 00:33:28,066
-Basting it in the butter.
-Whoo!
887
00:33:31,367 --> 00:33:33,100
[Jonathan]
These pork cutlets
will cook fast.
888
00:33:33,100 --> 00:33:34,867
So I gotta make sure
I'm keeping an eye on them.
889
00:33:34,867 --> 00:33:37,567
The boxed mashed potatoes,
the texture is
not quite there.
890
00:33:37,567 --> 00:33:39,867
Heck, if the flavor saves it,
then I'll be happy with that.
891
00:33:39,867 --> 00:33:42,200
My baby potatoes,
they're soft now.
892
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,200
Just wanna make sure
that the potatoes get
nice and roasted and cooked.
893
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,767
This will be reduced in some
heavy whipping cream
and Dijon sauce
894
00:33:48,767 --> 00:33:50,166
along with some spinach.
895
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,767
Add some cheese...
896
00:33:52,767 --> 00:33:55,467
And then the, uh, pork chops
will nestle in there.
897
00:33:55,467 --> 00:33:57,533
It gives a nice, good,
rich, creamy flavor.
898
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,500
It's actually tasting
really good.
899
00:34:01,500 --> 00:34:04,100
Five minutes,
five minutes left, chefs.
You've gotta be plated.
900
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:06,834
[Nicole]
So I'm putting tartar sauce
into my ramekins.
901
00:34:08,667 --> 00:34:11,033
I plate the fish
and it's looking beautiful.
902
00:34:12,367 --> 00:34:14,100
Then I add the zucchini
to the plate.
903
00:34:14,100 --> 00:34:16,667
Maybe if I would've paid
better attention to the clock,
904
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:18,367
I wouldn't have burned
my summer squash.
905
00:34:18,367 --> 00:34:20,967
It's not the best
captain's meal I've ever made.
906
00:34:20,967 --> 00:34:23,667
But it's the best one
I've ever made
at Flavortown.
907
00:34:25,567 --> 00:34:28,200
[Boh] The salmon is done,
it looks perfect.
908
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,400
The succotash down first,
I'm gonna just lay the salmon
right off to the side of it.
909
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,066
I'm just worried
about this liquid smoke.
We'll see.
910
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:39,567
[Guy] Ninety seconds!
911
00:34:39,567 --> 00:34:41,100
[Jonathan] I'm feeling
the pressure of that clock.
912
00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:42,367
I grab the boxed
mashed potatoes,
913
00:34:42,367 --> 00:34:43,667
put that down
on the bottom.
914
00:34:43,667 --> 00:34:45,166
[Guy] How are
we looking, chef?
915
00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:48,066
-Just getting ready to
pull the chops out.
-[Guy] Oh, they are smothered.
916
00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:50,000
[Jonathan]
This is mine to lose.
I'm only ahead by one point.
917
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,100
So I'm hoping that
this carries me across
the finish line.
918
00:34:53,100 --> 00:34:57,333
Five, four, three, two, one.
919
00:34:58,066 --> 00:34:59,200
Fire's out!
920
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,233
-[Aarti] Whoa!
-[Guy] Well done, everybody.
Great job.
921
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,000
I gotta tell you,
I don't know if your captain's
gonna be impressed.
922
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,967
But I think the judges
will be. Let's take it
to 'em right this way.
923
00:35:18,567 --> 00:35:22,066
Judges, this is it.
Game two of our
Firefighters in Flavortown.
924
00:35:22,066 --> 00:35:25,266
They had a whammy ingredient
that they found
in their bucket brigade.
925
00:35:25,266 --> 00:35:28,600
Up first, Chef Boh,
and his choice
was liquid smoke.
926
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,700
So today
we have salmon
927
00:35:30,700 --> 00:35:34,800
with roasted corn succotash,
basted it with some liquid
smoke and butter.
928
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,266
Succotash, poured some
salsa verde in there,
929
00:35:37,266 --> 00:35:39,800
and also a little bit
of liquid smoke in the corn
as well.
930
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,467
There is so much
great technique in this dish.
931
00:35:43,467 --> 00:35:47,266
The succotash is delicious.
The salmon is cooked
so well.
932
00:35:47,266 --> 00:35:49,667
-You could see how
much love went into it.
-Yeah.
933
00:35:49,667 --> 00:35:52,000
Your succotash is amazing.
934
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,166
That salsa verde,
I've never heard before
working that in.
935
00:35:55,166 --> 00:35:57,533
-And it works
a treat in there.
-Thank you.
936
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,467
The liquid smoke,
even for a firefighter,
937
00:36:01,467 --> 00:36:03,500
-I think this is
a little smoky.
-Okay.
938
00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:05,367
If you had chosen
one place to put it,
939
00:36:05,367 --> 00:36:07,467
either the salmon
or the succotash,
940
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:10,567
-then maybe it would
be a bit more balanced.
-Thank you.
941
00:36:10,567 --> 00:36:13,867
All right.
Up next, Chef Nicole.
Pancake mix.
942
00:36:13,867 --> 00:36:16,367
So today I made you
a Minnesota fish fry.
943
00:36:16,367 --> 00:36:19,300
I incorporated
the pancake mix
right into the drench.
944
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:22,667
I also grilled you
some fresh summer squash
with goat cheese
945
00:36:22,667 --> 00:36:27,300
with a balsamic drizzle.
I made you some
tartar sauce on the side.
946
00:36:27,300 --> 00:36:32,000
I thought you were bonkers
to throw such a delicate
piece of fish
947
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,100
into the fryer.
It's perfect.
948
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:37,767
It still has a little
lusciousness to it.
949
00:36:37,767 --> 00:36:40,266
I also adore
your tartar sauce.
950
00:36:40,266 --> 00:36:42,567
You were very assertive
with that horseradish.
951
00:36:42,567 --> 00:36:45,700
-I love how it plays with
the lemon, it's beautiful.
-Thank you.
952
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:48,867
What do I need
to do to get an invitation
to your lake house...
953
00:36:48,867 --> 00:36:52,066
-so I can go to your fish fry.
[laughing]
-Just give me a call. Yeah.
954
00:36:52,066 --> 00:36:54,467
The fish was so light
and flaky.
955
00:36:54,467 --> 00:36:57,600
And I know you kind of
had an oopsie-doodle moment
where you were like,
956
00:36:57,600 --> 00:36:59,934
-pancake mix--
-Ho-ho-ho!
957
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,066
Oopsie-doodle?
958
00:37:03,066 --> 00:37:05,867
-Oopsie-doodle.
-Whoopsie-daisy, maybe.
959
00:37:07,266 --> 00:37:10,066
Oopsie-doodle?
You say that?
960
00:37:10,066 --> 00:37:11,367
Throws you off.
961
00:37:11,367 --> 00:37:12,934
-Juxtaposition.
-Throws me off
and worries me.
962
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,533
All right.
Back to oopsie-doodle.
963
00:37:16,867 --> 00:37:19,667
So you have a little
oopsie-doodle
with the pancake mix.
964
00:37:19,667 --> 00:37:21,300
You thought you'd
pick something else.
965
00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:25,400
But I think it was so smart
and such great gameplay
to dredge your fish in it.
966
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,900
-It is golden, it's delicious.
-Thank you.
967
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:33,867
Unfortunately, the little
squashes here have
been burnt underneath.
968
00:37:33,867 --> 00:37:37,200
And that's really giving
a bitter taste to everything
in there.
969
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,300
Thank you.
970
00:37:38,300 --> 00:37:40,567
And last but not least,
Chef Jonathan.
971
00:37:40,567 --> 00:37:42,767
His choice,
mashed potatoes.
972
00:37:42,767 --> 00:37:47,266
I made pork chops
smothered in creamy
Dijon-spinach sauce.
973
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:52,100
In that sauce there's
a nice summer medley of
potatoes and onion and garlic.
974
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:55,834
And then on the base layer,
there is the mashed potatoes
I put in there.
975
00:37:57,500 --> 00:38:01,266
I love the flavor combination
of the pork, the spinach
and the mustard.
976
00:38:01,266 --> 00:38:03,467
I think those flavors
are beautiful together.
977
00:38:03,467 --> 00:38:06,767
The potato on potato love
that we've got
going on here,
978
00:38:06,767 --> 00:38:09,567
it's a lot of starch, I don't
know that I would necessarily
979
00:38:09,567 --> 00:38:11,467
present this
as a chief's dinner.
980
00:38:11,467 --> 00:38:12,600
Thank you.
981
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,600
The pork is very tender
and nicely seasoned.
982
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,367
The plating could use
a little extra attention.
983
00:38:18,367 --> 00:38:20,767
I would've used
a nice, big plate
984
00:38:20,767 --> 00:38:22,667
so I could really
cut into that pork.
985
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,200
Yeah.
986
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,166
The sauce of the cream
is wonderful,
spinach-cream sauce.
987
00:38:27,166 --> 00:38:30,266
It's got that beautiful
creamy cheesiness to it.
988
00:38:30,266 --> 00:38:33,467
The rainbow potatoes,
I don't think in the end
work here.
989
00:38:33,467 --> 00:38:35,867
It's great as it is,
but those two potatoes,
990
00:38:35,867 --> 00:38:39,200
-I think take it,
kind of over the top a bit.
-Thank you.
991
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,166
All right. Thank you
very much, judges.
992
00:38:41,166 --> 00:38:43,266
Lot going on here.
Lot for them to discuss.
993
00:38:43,266 --> 00:38:45,867
Thank you very much.
Great job.
Back to the kitchens.
994
00:38:45,867 --> 00:38:47,166
[judges applauding]
995
00:38:47,166 --> 00:38:50,000
Judges, 20 points available
on gameplay,
996
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,734
20 points
available on taste,
10 points on plating.
997
00:38:54,867 --> 00:38:58,467
Time to find out who will be
rocking Flavortown Market
for up to 20,000 bucks.
998
00:38:58,467 --> 00:39:01,100
Boh, let's take a look
at yours, my friend.
999
00:39:01,100 --> 00:39:05,667
17 out of 20 in gameplay,
13 out of 20
in taste,
1000
00:39:05,667 --> 00:39:07,700
nine out of 10
in plating,
1001
00:39:07,700 --> 00:39:11,634
for a 39
and a total of 75. Wow!
1002
00:39:13,100 --> 00:39:16,867
Jonathan,
14 in gameplay,
1003
00:39:16,867 --> 00:39:18,533
16 in taste,
1004
00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:22,400
six out of 10 in plating
for a 36,
1005
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,266
and a total of 76,
a one-point lead.
1006
00:39:26,266 --> 00:39:28,400
Which brings us to Nicole.
1007
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,867
Oh, my gosh.
1008
00:39:29,867 --> 00:39:31,166
A tie, or to win.
1009
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,266
14 out of 20 in gameplay,
1010
00:39:34,266 --> 00:39:38,166
14 out of 20 in taste,
seven, for a 35,
1011
00:39:38,166 --> 00:39:41,734
for a total of 74.
Congratulation, Jonathan,
you're our winner.
1012
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:43,834
Well done.
1013
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:47,266
I don't know what
happens when you fight a fire.
1014
00:39:47,266 --> 00:39:51,467
But I imagine there's gotta
be a little time of reflection
of how we did.
1015
00:39:51,467 --> 00:39:53,266
And that's kind of what
happens in this situation.
1016
00:39:53,266 --> 00:39:57,000
But we really appreciate
you being here tonight,
so thank you.
1017
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Ah, the liquid smoke,
it got me.
1018
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,600
I think I did a good
job representing Engine 52
1019
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,266
at the Baltimore City
Fire Department.
1020
00:40:03,266 --> 00:40:04,767
-Thank you.
-What a pleasure.
1021
00:40:04,767 --> 00:40:08,667
In a million years,
I never thought I would
be cooking on Food Network TV.
1022
00:40:08,667 --> 00:40:11,000
I'm so glad I've had
a chance to be on the game.
1023
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,467
Meet the winner of
Firefighters of Flavortown,
1024
00:40:13,467 --> 00:40:15,166
-Chef Jonathan.
-[whooping]
1025
00:40:15,166 --> 00:40:18,000
[Guy] It's firefighters
like you that take care
of all of us.
1026
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,867
So thank you very much
and congratulations.
1027
00:40:19,867 --> 00:40:22,266
Come on over
and say hi to the judges.
Let's go shopping.
1028
00:40:22,266 --> 00:40:23,433
Happy for you, man.
Thank you.
1029
00:40:25,467 --> 00:40:28,000
Here's the deal.
We have a variety
of ways to win.
1030
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,367
So we can go on
a shopping spree,
1031
00:40:29,367 --> 00:40:32,467
in which I give you
two minutes to grab
ten items.
1032
00:40:32,467 --> 00:40:34,667
For every item you grab,
I give you 2,000 bucks.
1033
00:40:34,667 --> 00:40:38,934
You grab all ten items
in two minutes,
you win $20,000.
1034
00:40:39,767 --> 00:40:42,767
Or, we can go to the check.
1035
00:40:42,767 --> 00:40:45,467
It is behind the sliding doors
right there...
1036
00:40:45,467 --> 00:40:47,166
with a set value
1037
00:40:47,166 --> 00:40:51,200
between 12 and $20,000.
1038
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,367
So what would you
do with the money by the way?
1039
00:40:52,367 --> 00:40:54,600
I know I talked about
my kids, I love 'em a lot.
1040
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,266
But I'd love a vacation
without 'em.
So just me and my wife.
1041
00:40:57,266 --> 00:40:58,767
[Guy] Okay. I like that.
1042
00:41:00,266 --> 00:41:03,967
I know the guys
would give me a hard time
if I don't play the game.
1043
00:41:03,967 --> 00:41:05,567
-True.
-But...
1044
00:41:05,567 --> 00:41:07,867
they'll give me harder time
if I come away
with less than 12.
1045
00:41:07,867 --> 00:41:08,800
I think
I'll take the check.
1046
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,667
You're sure
you wanna go for the check?
1047
00:41:10,667 --> 00:41:12,767
Oh, my gosh
Don't do this to me.
1048
00:41:12,767 --> 00:41:14,266
[laughing] Guy!
1049
00:41:14,266 --> 00:41:16,200
All right, check. Check!
Give me the check!
1050
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,667
And you get
a check for...
1051
00:41:18,667 --> 00:41:19,967
[drumroll]
1052
00:41:19,967 --> 00:41:22,066
-[all cheering]
-[Guy] No.
1053
00:41:22,967 --> 00:41:24,467
Give me a pen.
1054
00:41:24,467 --> 00:41:26,200
Oh. Okay.
1055
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:29,367
-[gasping]
-[Guy] $18,500.
1056
00:41:30,500 --> 00:41:31,567
Oh, my gosh.
1057
00:41:31,567 --> 00:41:34,367
There you go, my friend.
Congratulations.
1058
00:41:34,367 --> 00:41:37,066
[Jonathan]
I made my district proud,
made my family proud.
1059
00:41:37,066 --> 00:41:39,767
And I just cannot wait
to tell my wife where
we're going next summer.
1060
00:41:39,767 --> 00:41:44,000
18,500 bucks should be
quite the vacation.
1061
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,767
And a big thank you
to all the first responders
that take care of us.
1062
00:41:47,767 --> 00:41:49,100
Because I'll tell
you what, folks,
1063
00:41:49,100 --> 00:41:51,367
if it wasn't for them,
we would be
in a lot of trouble.
1064
00:41:51,367 --> 00:41:54,100
Guys like this
did a great job.
Thank you, brother.
1065
00:41:54,100 --> 00:41:55,367
Thank you.
1066
00:41:55,367 --> 00:41:57,166
Hey, guess what?
We'll see you next time
on Guy's Grocery Games,
1067
00:41:57,166 --> 00:41:58,600
-adiós.
-Oh, my gosh.
1068
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,867
-Yay!
-[Jonathan] Thank you
so much.
