1
00:00:01,567 --> 00:00:03,066
All right, Dad, I am ready
for the baking competition.
2
00:00:03,066 --> 00:00:03,900
-Hunter, Hunter...
-Yes?
3
00:00:03,900 --> 00:00:06,400
...I didn't say baking,
I said bacon.
4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:07,867
Bacon competition.
5
00:00:07,867 --> 00:00:09,667
Oh. I, I already baked a cake.
6
00:00:09,667 --> 00:00:12,500
Hunter, go change.
We got a lot to do tonight.
7
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:14,867
We have four chefs
with a passion for pork.
8
00:00:14,867 --> 00:00:16,667
[man] Straight for
the bacon, baby.
9
00:00:16,667 --> 00:00:18,467
[Guy] And they're ready
to smoke the competition
10
00:00:18,467 --> 00:00:20,266
with their sizzling
bacon dishes.
11
00:00:20,266 --> 00:00:23,567
If they don't get hog-tied
by my despicable games first.
12
00:00:23,567 --> 00:00:26,200
-Piggy, piggy, piggy.
-Oh, dang, so expensive.
13
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,200
-One penny change.
-Oh, no.
14
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,166
-Messing with Wendy.
-Hello.
15
00:00:30,166 --> 00:00:32,367
You knocked it
out of the park.
16
00:00:32,367 --> 00:00:33,700
[Guy] It's Bad to the Bacon
17
00:00:33,700 --> 00:00:35,634
right now on
Guy's Grocery Games.
18
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,200
Let's meet our bacon masters.
19
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,500
Now first up we have
20
00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,166
Justin Mr. Bacon Coleman,
21
00:00:43,166 --> 00:00:44,567
the chef-owner
of Philadelphia's
22
00:00:44,567 --> 00:00:48,300
first-ever bacon focused
restaurant and food truck.
23
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:50,266
-How are you, brother?
-[Justin] Doing well.
24
00:00:50,266 --> 00:00:51,900
Next we got Barbie Larrinaga
25
00:00:51,900 --> 00:00:54,500
who's serving up Basque
and Vietnamese cuisine
26
00:00:54,500 --> 00:00:56,634
with lots of bacon
on her food truck.
27
00:00:57,967 --> 00:01:00,066
The Bacon Barbie. Here she is.
28
00:01:01,367 --> 00:01:02,233
And then there's Charif Arabe,
29
00:01:02,233 --> 00:01:04,467
a second-generation
executive chef
30
00:01:04,467 --> 00:01:06,600
with a magical ability
to transform dishes
31
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,266
using bacon in any form.
32
00:01:09,266 --> 00:01:10,600
Look at the shirt, buddy.
33
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,300
-Tropical bacon.
-[Charif] Ah, thank you.
34
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:13,800
-Hey, chefs.
-Hey.
35
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,734
And finally, Arturo Leighton,
36
00:01:14,734 --> 00:01:17,467
chef-owner of
a Memphis Pan-Asian joint
37
00:01:17,467 --> 00:01:18,700
who's traveled the world
38
00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:20,133
eating bacon dishes.
39
00:01:21,667 --> 00:01:22,767
-What's up, G?
-What's up, brother?
40
00:01:22,767 --> 00:01:24,500
-[Arturo] How you doing?
-Here we go.
41
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,700
Let me just
tell you right now,
42
00:01:27,700 --> 00:01:29,767
I'm not faking,
we're making bacon.
43
00:01:29,767 --> 00:01:31,467
-[chefs chuckle]
-[Guy] The four of you
44
00:01:31,467 --> 00:01:33,600
have been hampicked...
45
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,967
-[Arturo] Okay.
-...for this competition.
46
00:01:35,967 --> 00:01:37,667
We've invited you
to serve up some
47
00:01:37,667 --> 00:01:39,033
sweet...
48
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:41,300
Sorry. Bacon dishes.
49
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:43,400
Dishes so great
that you'll have the judges
50
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,567
squealing for more.
51
00:01:44,567 --> 00:01:46,000
Ba-dum-bum.
52
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,567
[chefs laugh]
53
00:01:47,567 --> 00:01:50,266
You are gonna have to
play some crazy grocery games
54
00:01:50,266 --> 00:01:51,700
that are more twisted
than a pig's tail.
55
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:52,867
-I will stop right now.
-[Arturo] Oh.
56
00:01:52,867 --> 00:01:54,900
-Come on.
-[Guy] I'm sorry,
this is just too much fun.
57
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,100
The chef who makes
the least successful dish
58
00:01:58,100 --> 00:01:59,266
in the first round
will be eliminated.
59
00:01:59,266 --> 00:02:01,500
The chef that ultimately
wins the competition
60
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:02,667
will get to shop
Flavortown Market
61
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:04,867
for up to 20,000 bucks.
62
00:02:04,867 --> 00:02:06,000
And that,
ladies and gentlemen,
63
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,867
is really bringing home
the bacon.
64
00:02:07,867 --> 00:02:10,767
-Yeah.
-[Guy] I want you
to start off strong.
65
00:02:10,767 --> 00:02:13,467
I want you to make
your signature bacon dish.
How about that?
66
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:15,200
Bountiful bacon dish
67
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,100
that really hogs
the spotlight.
68
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:18,033
Nice one.
69
00:02:18,033 --> 00:02:20,367
The chef who impresses
the judges the most
70
00:02:20,367 --> 00:02:22,233
is gonna make bank.
71
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:23,934
Bank.
72
00:02:23,934 --> 00:02:25,166
Oh, that's right.
Hang on a second.
73
00:02:25,166 --> 00:02:26,500
Hunter, bring in the banks.
74
00:02:26,500 --> 00:02:27,767
Oh.
75
00:02:27,767 --> 00:02:29,567
-Look at that.
-Here, piggy, piggy, piggy.
76
00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:31,867
[Guy] Here, piggy, piggy,
piggy, piggy, piggy.
77
00:02:31,867 --> 00:02:34,100
Because, folks, this is
the Piggy Bank Battle.
78
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:35,667
I don't think we've ever done
this one before.
79
00:02:35,667 --> 00:02:36,700
-Wow.
-[Guy] You're gonna have to
80
00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:39,200
pay for all
of your ingredients
that you need
81
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,667
with the money
that's in these piggy banks.
82
00:02:41,667 --> 00:02:43,367
Thirty in each one,
right, Hunter,
like I told you?
83
00:02:43,367 --> 00:02:44,767
[Hunter] Uh, not exactly.
84
00:02:44,767 --> 00:02:46,367
I'm not really great
at math and counting.
85
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:48,166
You know this. Yeah.
86
00:02:48,166 --> 00:02:49,667
So you're telling me
that all of these...
87
00:02:49,667 --> 00:02:51,767
-I was really trying.
-...are random?
88
00:02:51,767 --> 00:02:53,166
I think they're close.
89
00:02:53,166 --> 00:02:54,867
[Guy]
Chef Barbie, you look scared.
90
00:02:54,867 --> 00:02:56,300
-Terrified.
-[Guy] You can pick first.
91
00:02:56,300 --> 00:02:57,600
First one,
second one, third one.
92
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,700
-This one?
-That one.
93
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:00,066
Okay. [snorts]
94
00:03:02,767 --> 00:03:03,667
Chef Justin,
95
00:03:03,667 --> 00:03:05,767
-one, two, or four?
-Let's go with one.
96
00:03:05,767 --> 00:03:07,467
-Very nice.
-I like it.
97
00:03:07,467 --> 00:03:08,567
-How do you open it?
-[Guy] Gentlemen,
98
00:03:08,567 --> 00:03:09,967
who would like to pick next?
99
00:03:09,967 --> 00:03:12,000
-Let me do two, Chef.
-[Guy] Here we go.
100
00:03:13,266 --> 00:03:15,066
-Thank you.
-[Guy] Why don't we do this?
Why don't we open them
101
00:03:15,066 --> 00:03:16,834
and then we can see
how much money
you actually got?
102
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,767
[Charif] Three. My, my.
103
00:03:18,767 --> 00:03:20,800
[Barbie] $26.
104
00:03:21,567 --> 00:03:22,333
[Guy] All right, chefs.
105
00:03:22,333 --> 00:03:24,100
How much money
did you get, chef?
106
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:25,300
$24.
107
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:26,433
$29.
108
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:28,100
$27.
109
00:03:28,100 --> 00:03:29,200
$25.
110
00:03:29,667 --> 00:03:31,467
It's kind of a big deal
111
00:03:31,467 --> 00:03:32,600
how much you have,
112
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,266
'cause if you guys are off by,
113
00:03:34,266 --> 00:03:35,900
you know, three bucks
114
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:38,567
when you go shopping, I mean,
even when it comes down to $2,
115
00:03:38,567 --> 00:03:40,467
$1 can make
all the difference.
116
00:03:40,467 --> 00:03:42,634
Someone will go home
on that $1, okay?
117
00:03:43,166 --> 00:03:44,600
I got 'em on that one!
118
00:03:45,467 --> 00:03:46,367
[Hunter] That was close.
119
00:03:46,367 --> 00:03:47,767
That was such a good one,
120
00:03:47,767 --> 00:03:49,400
there's no way
they got away with it.
121
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,800
I thought we had that.
122
00:03:53,367 --> 00:03:54,033
[Barbie] Banh mi.
123
00:03:54,033 --> 00:03:55,600
Hi, I'm Barbie Larrinaga,
124
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,734
Bacon Banh Mi Barbie
from Boise.
125
00:03:58,266 --> 00:04:00,166
There's too many B's going on.
126
00:04:00,166 --> 00:04:02,166
My signature bacon dish are
127
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:04,000
bacon and pork banh mi.
128
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:04,900
This is a menu item
129
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:07,467
that sells out daily
on my food truck.
130
00:04:07,467 --> 00:04:09,467
I really want
to use pork belly,
131
00:04:09,467 --> 00:04:12,900
but it's so expensive.
So the next best option was
132
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:14,800
to get the pork loin
133
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,467
that had a bit of fat on it
134
00:04:16,467 --> 00:04:19,900
and deep fry it and get it
to mimic bacon flavor.
135
00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:22,467
The judges are gonna
love this bacon mayo.
136
00:04:22,467 --> 00:04:25,300
It's nothing like
they've ever tasted before.
137
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:27,467
I know I have
to get five-spice
138
00:04:27,467 --> 00:04:30,367
because that is
one of the key ingredients
139
00:04:30,367 --> 00:04:31,867
in my banh mi.
140
00:04:31,867 --> 00:04:33,467
Oh, that's huge.
141
00:04:33,467 --> 00:04:34,567
I was born
in Ho Chi Minh City.
142
00:04:34,567 --> 00:04:37,000
My mother had
a pho stand in Saigon.
143
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,667
She taught me you don't need
144
00:04:38,667 --> 00:04:40,500
crazy ingredients
145
00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:42,667
to make a really good banh mi.
146
00:04:42,667 --> 00:04:44,700
What are we looking at
spending today?
147
00:04:44,700 --> 00:04:45,867
$27.
148
00:04:45,867 --> 00:04:47,634
[Wendy] All right. Okay.
149
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,100
Carrots.
150
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:50,100
And the five-spice
151
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:51,867
puts you at $31.35.
152
00:04:51,867 --> 00:04:53,467
I couldn't get my five-spice.
153
00:04:53,467 --> 00:04:54,667
$15.20.
154
00:04:54,667 --> 00:04:55,800
$5.26.
155
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,367
I've got some great spices
back at my station for free,
156
00:04:58,367 --> 00:05:00,567
and I'm hoping
it mimics whatever
157
00:05:00,567 --> 00:05:03,767
seasonings that I'm able
to put on the pork loin.
158
00:05:03,767 --> 00:05:05,433
-There you go.
-[Barbie] Thank you.
159
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,367
[Arturo] I'm going
straight for the bacon, baby.
160
00:05:08,367 --> 00:05:10,266
The first thing
I'm grabbing is bacon,
161
00:05:10,266 --> 00:05:11,867
and bacon's not cheap,
so I can't just
162
00:05:11,867 --> 00:05:13,066
buy an abundance of it.
163
00:05:13,066 --> 00:05:15,800
Of course, I get
the lowest sum of money.
164
00:05:16,266 --> 00:05:17,667
I got 24 bucks,
165
00:05:17,667 --> 00:05:20,000
and I'm gonna try
to make the most of it here.
166
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,900
At Good Fortune,
167
00:05:20,900 --> 00:05:23,100
our focus is
on noodles and dumplings,
168
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:24,700
and we put bacon
in everything.
169
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:26,066
Ramen, ramen.
170
00:05:26,066 --> 00:05:27,200
Oh, that's cheap, baby.
171
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,266
For my signature bacon dish,
172
00:05:28,266 --> 00:05:30,867
the first thing that pops
to mind is family meal.
173
00:05:30,867 --> 00:05:32,467
Family meal, we serve
it at the restaurant,
174
00:05:32,467 --> 00:05:34,567
and it's basically our way
to feed the staff.
175
00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:36,300
And one of the things that
I've been making every Sunday
176
00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:38,367
has been budae jjigae,
Korean army stew.
177
00:05:38,367 --> 00:05:39,600
Gochujang.
178
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,100
Four bucks, not bad.
179
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:43,266
American-Korean fusion
180
00:05:43,266 --> 00:05:44,800
started back in war times.
181
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,667
One of the things
that I was shocked by
182
00:05:46,667 --> 00:05:48,100
the first time
I had budae jjigae
183
00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:50,700
was that there's a big slice
of American cheese.
184
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:52,000
I didn't have
the cheese with me,
185
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,967
and so I need to make sure
186
00:05:52,967 --> 00:05:55,166
I have enough money
for the American cheese.
187
00:05:55,166 --> 00:05:57,500
I'm gonna run to
the register first,
then start my broth.
188
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:58,867
Then I'll come back
for the cheese.
189
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:00,266
[Wendy] What are we
working with today?
190
00:06:00,266 --> 00:06:01,900
[Arturo] $24.
191
00:06:01,900 --> 00:06:02,967
You're fast.
192
00:06:02,967 --> 00:06:04,266
That's what they tell me.
193
00:06:04,266 --> 00:06:06,567
-[Arturo chuckles]
-[Wendy] $23.10 right there.
194
00:06:06,567 --> 00:06:09,066
-Oh. I need to take back
one of the bacons.
-Quick, quick.
195
00:06:09,066 --> 00:06:10,567
-Quick, quick.
-I'll take back
one of the bacons.
196
00:06:10,567 --> 00:06:13,266
I had two packs of bacon.
I had to go one pack.
197
00:06:13,266 --> 00:06:15,567
I need to make sure
I have enough money
for the American cheese.
198
00:06:15,567 --> 00:06:18,400
Twenty-one, twenty-two,
twenty-three. Okay.
199
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,767
There you go. Grab and go.
Nothing left in your cart?
200
00:06:20,767 --> 00:06:21,767
-[Arturo] Nothing.
-[Wendy] Bye.
201
00:06:21,767 --> 00:06:23,567
I should have more money left.
202
00:06:23,567 --> 00:06:24,934
I think I need some change.
203
00:06:25,467 --> 00:06:27,467
Uh, you had one penny change.
204
00:06:27,467 --> 00:06:28,900
I had $24, I promise.
205
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:29,967
I need that change
just in case.
206
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:31,400
You gave me $23.55.
207
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,700
-Okay, and it was $20...
-[Wendy] And it was $23.54,
208
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:35,600
-and I gave you a penny.
-Okay.
209
00:06:36,166 --> 00:06:37,500
Ooh.
210
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:38,834
Messing with Wendy.
211
00:06:38,834 --> 00:06:40,800
I'm not gonna
question her judgment.
She does this all the time.
212
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:41,667
Dang.
213
00:06:41,667 --> 00:06:43,834
But I thought
I took back that bacon.
214
00:06:45,467 --> 00:06:47,500
I got $25.
215
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,567
I'm doing
my bacon caramel burger,
216
00:06:49,567 --> 00:06:52,900
which is one of our
top sellers at my restaurant.
217
00:06:52,900 --> 00:06:55,667
Bake'n Bacon is
the first and only
bacon-inspired restaurant
218
00:06:55,667 --> 00:06:56,867
in Philadelphia.
219
00:06:56,867 --> 00:06:58,567
We make bacon the star.
220
00:06:58,567 --> 00:07:00,266
For my bacon caramel sauce,
221
00:07:00,266 --> 00:07:02,467
vanilla helps make
222
00:07:02,467 --> 00:07:04,867
the caramel sauce
taste like caramel.
223
00:07:04,867 --> 00:07:07,200
Oh, dang, so expensive.
224
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,000
How key is the vanilla to you?
225
00:07:09,567 --> 00:07:11,000
It's pretty key.
226
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,767
I don't have
enough money for this,
227
00:07:12,767 --> 00:07:15,100
so I had to get
canned caramel sauce.
228
00:07:15,100 --> 00:07:16,166
All right. That's cheaper.
229
00:07:16,166 --> 00:07:17,567
It's not gonna
taste the same, but...
230
00:07:17,567 --> 00:07:19,066
Just fix it up
as best as I can
231
00:07:19,066 --> 00:07:20,967
and work with what I have
within my budget.
232
00:07:20,967 --> 00:07:23,367
And what do we have
to spend today?
233
00:07:23,367 --> 00:07:24,867
-Um...
-"And what do we have
234
00:07:24,867 --> 00:07:26,467
-to spend today?"
-$25.
235
00:07:26,467 --> 00:07:29,033
I'm looking at
the numbers go up.
236
00:07:29,900 --> 00:07:31,200
$24.62.
237
00:07:32,266 --> 00:07:34,066
[Justin]
By doing a simple burger
238
00:07:34,066 --> 00:07:36,467
and having the bacon flavors
239
00:07:36,467 --> 00:07:38,900
be mind-blowing,
that's just the way to go.
240
00:07:39,367 --> 00:07:40,667
[Wendy] There you go.
241
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:45,500
They've already burned off
five and a half minutes.
242
00:07:45,500 --> 00:07:48,166
I ended up getting
the most money out of
all the piggy banks.
243
00:07:48,166 --> 00:07:49,667
I chose the slab bacon
244
00:07:49,667 --> 00:07:51,367
because I can keep them inside
245
00:07:51,367 --> 00:07:52,467
nice and juicy,
246
00:07:52,467 --> 00:07:55,467
and I can get the outside
nice, charred, and crispy.
247
00:07:55,467 --> 00:07:58,000
So at Frank's,
I use bacon in everything.
248
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,100
In salads, ice cream.
249
00:08:00,467 --> 00:08:01,500
I just love bacon.
250
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,600
My signature bacon dish
251
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,667
is a pan-seared bacon
252
00:08:05,667 --> 00:08:07,867
served on top of a polenta
253
00:08:07,867 --> 00:08:10,734
with a corn
and black bean salsa.
254
00:08:11,467 --> 00:08:14,000
I wanted to
really showcase the bacon
255
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,800
in different capacities.
256
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,100
Bacon snow
is our secret ingredient.
257
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:20,066
[Guy] So he got
the maltodextrin,
258
00:08:20,066 --> 00:08:21,667
he's gonna make
his bacon dust.
259
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,266
'Cause he likes
to take his bacon fat,
260
00:08:23,266 --> 00:08:26,166
hit it with the maltodextrin
and make bacon dust.
261
00:08:26,166 --> 00:08:28,166
That might be a great move
on the chef's part.
262
00:08:28,166 --> 00:08:29,900
-[Wendy] Hello.
Last but not least.
-[Charif] Hello.
263
00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:31,500
And you are
the big spender today.
264
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:32,567
[Charif]
Yes, ma'am, big money.
265
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:35,467
[Guy] Is that maltodextrin
gonna make it in there?
266
00:08:35,467 --> 00:08:36,600
[Charif] I hope so.
267
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:39,767
-Oh, $29.
-That puts you at $29.35.
268
00:08:39,767 --> 00:08:42,667
Take the tapioca
maltodextrin out.
269
00:08:42,667 --> 00:08:44,567
-Take this off?
-[Charif] Yes, ma'am.
270
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:46,800
So your signature item
of making the bacon dust
271
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,767
is going away.
272
00:08:47,767 --> 00:08:48,700
[Charif] Oh.
273
00:08:48,700 --> 00:08:49,800
So I was very worried...
274
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,767
Thank you.
275
00:08:50,767 --> 00:08:52,200
...I couldn't afford
to make the bacon snow.
276
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,000
That, I think,
would have really added
277
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,367
the bacon aroma into the dish.
278
00:08:57,367 --> 00:09:00,667
But slab bacon gives me
all the bang for your buck.
279
00:09:00,667 --> 00:09:03,667
So who better to pig out on
these signature bacon dishes
280
00:09:03,667 --> 00:09:05,667
than our signature
Triple G judges?
281
00:09:05,667 --> 00:09:07,567
The Food Network star,
who is an expert in
282
00:09:07,567 --> 00:09:09,000
cooking with pork,
283
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,500
turkey, and vegan bacon.
284
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:11,900
The one and only
Damaris Phillips.
285
00:09:12,667 --> 00:09:15,100
Top Chef All-Star
and the Prince of Penne,
286
00:09:15,100 --> 00:09:17,567
Mustache Joe. Joe Sasto.
287
00:09:17,567 --> 00:09:18,767
And acclaimed restaurateur
288
00:09:18,767 --> 00:09:20,667
and two-time Tournament
of Champions winner,
289
00:09:20,667 --> 00:09:22,800
the one and only
champ herself,
290
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,000
Maneet Chauhan.
291
00:09:24,900 --> 00:09:26,867
Do we want the main element
to be bacon,
292
00:09:26,867 --> 00:09:29,467
or do we want
the main flavor profile
to be bacon?
293
00:09:29,467 --> 00:09:31,467
So when I'm looking
for a bacon dish,
294
00:09:31,467 --> 00:09:33,100
I want the main element
to be bacon.
295
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:35,300
-Yeah.
-I want bacon.
296
00:09:35,300 --> 00:09:37,266
[Guy] 23 minutes!
297
00:09:37,266 --> 00:09:39,767
I see banh mi
coming together here.
298
00:09:39,767 --> 00:09:41,667
[Barbie] Pork loin banh mi.
299
00:09:41,667 --> 00:09:43,100
Best seller that we have.
300
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:45,066
Making the pickled veg,
I take it.
301
00:09:45,066 --> 00:09:46,100
[Barbie] Yep.
302
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:48,100
How are you preparing
the bacon for this, chef?
303
00:09:48,100 --> 00:09:51,467
I am going to put bacon
inside my soy mayo,
304
00:09:51,467 --> 00:09:53,500
which is very loved.
305
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:54,767
Be ready to get
that bacon cooking.
306
00:09:54,767 --> 00:09:55,900
[Barbie] Oh, yeah.
307
00:09:56,867 --> 00:09:58,967
Next, since I couldn't
get pork belly,
308
00:09:58,967 --> 00:10:00,800
I'm going to turn
this pork tenderloin
309
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,967
into bacon. Cut them into
310
00:10:02,967 --> 00:10:04,800
thin slices.
311
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,467
I add my soy seasoning.
312
00:10:06,467 --> 00:10:08,400
Since I only had $27,
313
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,100
I couldn't get my five-spice.
314
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:13,467
Five-spice adds
warming notes to any dish.
315
00:10:13,467 --> 00:10:15,000
So I'm going to use cinnamon
316
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,300
and cayenne pepper
on my pork chop.
317
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,266
Oh, I need five-spice so bad.
318
00:10:19,266 --> 00:10:21,066
Cooking has
always been a passion,
319
00:10:21,066 --> 00:10:23,400
but it wasn't until I realized
320
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,800
that working at a desk
and office job that
321
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,266
my life was
not being fulfilled.
322
00:10:27,266 --> 00:10:28,767
And now I've had my food truck
323
00:10:28,767 --> 00:10:31,367
since August of 2023.
324
00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:33,467
I want to win
because that money can
325
00:10:33,467 --> 00:10:35,767
definitely help expand
our business.
326
00:10:35,767 --> 00:10:37,700
Okay, I need
to toast my baguette.
327
00:10:40,367 --> 00:10:41,867
As I'm slicing my baguette,
328
00:10:41,867 --> 00:10:44,000
I drop one on the floor.
329
00:10:44,467 --> 00:10:45,500
Ooh! [gasps]
330
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:46,667
Oh, my gosh.
331
00:10:46,667 --> 00:10:48,367
Oh, no.
332
00:10:48,367 --> 00:10:51,900
And I don't have money to
go back and get another one.
333
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,734
[Damaris] Oh, my God.
334
00:10:55,734 --> 00:10:57,767
Barbie just dropped
her baguette on the floor,
335
00:10:57,767 --> 00:11:00,100
and she doesn't have
enough money to buy more.
336
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:01,400
[Barbie]
There I had to think quickly.
337
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,266
[Damaris]
She's gonna have to make
smaller banh mi sandwiches.
338
00:11:04,266 --> 00:11:05,867
Oh, no.
339
00:11:05,867 --> 00:11:07,867
[Barbie] Come on, toast it,
toast it, toast it.
340
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,767
[Guy] 20 minutes!
341
00:11:09,767 --> 00:11:11,767
These are not just
everyday cooks.
342
00:11:11,767 --> 00:11:14,100
These are bacon believers.
343
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:16,867
Bacon believers. Bacon livers.
344
00:11:16,867 --> 00:11:17,767
[Arturo]
I wish I had more money.
345
00:11:17,767 --> 00:11:20,100
I would have gotten
the American cheese.
346
00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:23,300
It's not budae jjigae
without the American cheese.
347
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:24,767
-Arturo.
-[Arturo] Chef.
348
00:11:24,767 --> 00:11:27,100
We were doing a price check
on your shopping.
349
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:28,600
I think I need some change.
350
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,033
Uh, you had one penny change.
351
00:11:31,033 --> 00:11:32,467
I had $24, I promise.
352
00:11:32,467 --> 00:11:33,467
I need that change
just in case.
353
00:11:33,467 --> 00:11:35,066
You gave me $23.55.
354
00:11:35,734 --> 00:11:37,500
[Guy] Uh, we owe you $3.
355
00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:39,400
-Yes! Let's go.
-[Guy] So anything
you want to go get
356
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,834
for $3, you're welcome to get.
357
00:11:40,834 --> 00:11:42,266
-Thank you, chef.
-[Guy] You bet.
358
00:11:42,266 --> 00:11:43,266
I can get the cheese.
359
00:11:43,266 --> 00:11:44,867
Wow, Wendy.
360
00:11:44,867 --> 00:11:46,300
First time in
the history of Triple G,
361
00:11:46,300 --> 00:11:47,700
Wendy made a mistake.
362
00:11:49,300 --> 00:11:51,166
Three bucks. [laughs]
363
00:11:51,166 --> 00:11:52,500
Okay. That's a one-off,
364
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:53,867
that will never happen again.
365
00:11:53,867 --> 00:11:55,867
-Do not let it
go to your head.
-I just trusted you.
366
00:11:55,867 --> 00:11:57,667
I didn't even second-guess it.
367
00:11:57,667 --> 00:11:59,100
[Wendy laughs]
368
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:00,066
All right,
here's your three bucks.
369
00:12:00,066 --> 00:12:01,967
-You got one penny.
-[Arturo] Thank you.
370
00:12:03,367 --> 00:12:04,834
[Guy] What did you get
for your extra three bucks?
371
00:12:04,834 --> 00:12:06,800
[Arturo] I got
American cheese, chef.
372
00:12:07,767 --> 00:12:09,033
Cheese is going on this.
373
00:12:09,033 --> 00:12:10,033
[Arturo] You got to do it.
374
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:11,367
It's part of budae jjigae.
375
00:12:11,367 --> 00:12:12,467
First thing
I got to get started
376
00:12:12,467 --> 00:12:14,367
is my soup base.
377
00:12:14,367 --> 00:12:15,667
I got the bacon going,
378
00:12:15,667 --> 00:12:17,266
onions, tomatoes.
379
00:12:17,266 --> 00:12:19,166
Along with the gochujang
and the bacon,
380
00:12:19,166 --> 00:12:21,700
that's really gonna set
a good foundation
for the soup.
381
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,734
Both of my parents
are immigrants from Chile.
382
00:12:24,734 --> 00:12:26,367
My parents sacrificed
383
00:12:26,367 --> 00:12:28,033
their entire livelihoods
384
00:12:28,033 --> 00:12:29,867
to come here and try to
provide a better life for me.
385
00:12:29,867 --> 00:12:31,567
And I want to make sure that
386
00:12:31,567 --> 00:12:33,467
their sacrifice is noticed,
387
00:12:33,467 --> 00:12:35,867
and I give it
my best effort today.
388
00:12:36,934 --> 00:12:37,900
[Justin] I'm gonna do a burger
389
00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:40,367
just because I feel like
people love burgers.
390
00:12:40,367 --> 00:12:42,734
Doing a bacon cheeseburger,
keeping it very simple.
391
00:12:43,467 --> 00:12:44,834
Let it do its own thing
392
00:12:44,834 --> 00:12:47,133
while I start
my bacon caramel sauce.
393
00:12:48,467 --> 00:12:50,900
And we're gonna use some of
the grease from the bacon.
394
00:12:51,467 --> 00:12:52,867
The flavors are just insane,
395
00:12:52,867 --> 00:12:55,033
because you have
the sweetness of the caramel,
396
00:12:55,033 --> 00:12:57,233
the saltiness of the bacon,
and it just pairs really well.
397
00:12:57,734 --> 00:12:59,600
[Joe] I think sweet and salty
398
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,500
really pulls
the best out of bacon.
399
00:13:01,934 --> 00:13:02,834
[Justin] In 2016,
400
00:13:02,834 --> 00:13:04,100
my younger brother,
Derek, passed away.
401
00:13:04,100 --> 00:13:05,367
A few months
after he passed away,
402
00:13:05,367 --> 00:13:06,533
he visited me in a dream.
403
00:13:06,533 --> 00:13:09,166
And in the dream, he gave me
the idea for Bake'n Bacon.
404
00:13:09,166 --> 00:13:11,166
I smelled bacon in the dream,
405
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:13,300
and I was trying
to follow the scent,
406
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:15,266
and I finally walked onto
this food truck,
407
00:13:15,266 --> 00:13:16,867
and Derek was there,
and I was like,
408
00:13:16,867 --> 00:13:19,000
"Hey, come back with me,
we thought you passed."
409
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,834
But he was like,
"This is your concept."
410
00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:22,734
And it's been
super successful.
411
00:13:22,734 --> 00:13:24,767
If it wasn't for him,
I wouldn't have this idea.
412
00:13:24,767 --> 00:13:26,367
I'm here today to just
413
00:13:26,367 --> 00:13:28,567
honor him and continue to...
414
00:13:28,567 --> 00:13:30,600
continue to just
make him proud.
415
00:13:32,767 --> 00:13:34,000
[Guy] 15 minutes!
416
00:13:34,266 --> 00:13:35,467
Charif has 29.
417
00:13:35,467 --> 00:13:37,367
-[Joe] Oh, okay.
-[Damaris] You guys, with $29,
418
00:13:37,367 --> 00:13:38,934
I feel like you can
make a bacon dish.
419
00:13:38,934 --> 00:13:41,000
[Joe] He got a whole block
420
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,867
of cured pork belly bacon.
421
00:13:42,867 --> 00:13:44,266
So now he can decide
422
00:13:44,266 --> 00:13:46,367
the size that he wants
to cut it in.
423
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:47,600
-[Charif] All right.
-[Guy] So,
424
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,400
tell me the story about
cooking this whole big
slab of bacon.
425
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,967
So I'm going to sear
this slab of bacon
426
00:13:52,967 --> 00:13:54,567
with a charred corn,
427
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:56,266
black bean bacon salsa.
428
00:13:56,266 --> 00:13:57,600
Where's this polenta going in?
429
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,467
[Charif] That's gonna go
with the dish underneath.
430
00:13:59,467 --> 00:14:00,233
-Got it.
-[meat sizzling]
431
00:14:00,233 --> 00:14:01,800
[Charif] You hear that sizzle?
432
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,367
I discovered bacon
in my late teens.
433
00:14:06,367 --> 00:14:08,467
I'm originally born
and raised in Morocco,
434
00:14:08,467 --> 00:14:10,266
and we don't have
much pork product.
435
00:14:10,266 --> 00:14:11,867
So my first week in America,
436
00:14:12,066 --> 00:14:13,400
I tried bacon,
437
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,166
and it was
almost a revelation.
438
00:14:15,166 --> 00:14:16,767
It made me want to be a chef,
439
00:14:16,767 --> 00:14:17,867
and I fell in love with it.
440
00:14:17,867 --> 00:14:18,800
Rocking and rolling.
441
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,400
That clock is a beast.
It moves by so fast.
442
00:14:22,266 --> 00:14:24,634
Chefs, ten minutes!
Ten minutes to go!
443
00:14:25,467 --> 00:14:27,066
[Barbie]
I got the pork frying.
444
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:29,266
I got the vegetables pickling.
445
00:14:29,266 --> 00:14:30,867
Now I'm going to work
on my bacon mayo.
446
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:32,967
I'm known for this bacon mayo
447
00:14:32,967 --> 00:14:34,467
on our Basquenese food truck.
448
00:14:34,467 --> 00:14:35,867
It's got that crunchiness
449
00:14:35,867 --> 00:14:37,266
from the bacon crumbles
450
00:14:37,266 --> 00:14:39,333
with my soy sauce.
451
00:14:43,867 --> 00:14:45,467
It tastes so delicious.
452
00:14:45,467 --> 00:14:48,033
Why does time go by
so fast here?
453
00:14:48,033 --> 00:14:50,567
I had to put something back
to make this happen,
454
00:14:50,567 --> 00:14:53,100
but I think I'm gonna manage
to get those flavors across.
455
00:14:53,100 --> 00:14:54,834
I know I have
to get bacon incorporated
456
00:14:54,834 --> 00:14:56,200
in multiple ways.
457
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,567
So I'm making
a tomato-bacon jam here
458
00:14:58,567 --> 00:15:01,100
to try to punch up that flavor
as much as I can.
459
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:02,567
So I'm throwing in leeks.
460
00:15:02,567 --> 00:15:03,934
I got some bacon in there,
461
00:15:03,934 --> 00:15:06,066
sugar, and some tomatoes.
462
00:15:06,066 --> 00:15:08,367
I'm gonna let that stew down
and just sweat and caramelize.
463
00:15:08,367 --> 00:15:10,934
Uh, is that all the bacon
that's going in this dish?
464
00:15:10,934 --> 00:15:12,867
No, I have a ton of bacon
here inside of the...
465
00:15:12,867 --> 00:15:14,066
-[Guy] Got it.
-...soup base as well.
466
00:15:14,066 --> 00:15:16,900
I'm not gonna let
a single piece of bacon
go to waste.
467
00:15:20,867 --> 00:15:22,800
[Justin] Bacon caramel sauce
is cooking.
468
00:15:23,667 --> 00:15:25,834
I check on my burger.
It looks good.
469
00:15:25,834 --> 00:15:27,166
So now I can
add my cheese on it.
470
00:15:27,166 --> 00:15:28,500
Super sharp cheese.
471
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:31,166
[Guy] It is.
It is super sharp.
472
00:15:31,166 --> 00:15:32,767
[Justin] As my bacon's
cooking in the pan,
473
00:15:32,767 --> 00:15:34,700
I add my jalapenos.
474
00:15:36,066 --> 00:15:37,667
My strategy here is
475
00:15:37,667 --> 00:15:39,500
to just use bacon everywhere.
476
00:15:42,934 --> 00:15:44,967
[Charif] I wanted
to have the bacon
477
00:15:44,967 --> 00:15:47,533
render in the fat
and have it crispy.
478
00:15:48,867 --> 00:15:50,166
Next, I started making
479
00:15:50,166 --> 00:15:53,266
the black bean
and charred corn salsa.
480
00:15:53,266 --> 00:15:54,200
[Guy]
How we looking over here?
481
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,767
-You got fresh corn.
-[Charif] Fresh corn.
482
00:15:55,767 --> 00:15:56,834
[Guy] Cilantro,
483
00:15:56,834 --> 00:15:58,400
-black pepper.
-[Charif] Cilantro,
black pepper,
484
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200
-red onions,
mixed bell peppers.
-[Guy] Got it.
485
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,367
[Charif] I'm engaged
to be married
486
00:16:02,367 --> 00:16:04,066
to my high school sweetheart.
487
00:16:04,066 --> 00:16:07,300
And I would like to pay
for a nice wedding for us.
488
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,100
$20,000, that's
a lot of bacon.
489
00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:11,200
[Guy] Five minutes!
490
00:16:12,266 --> 00:16:13,867
[Arturo] I'm ladling the stew.
491
00:16:14,667 --> 00:16:16,233
I get my noodles down next.
492
00:16:16,967 --> 00:16:19,133
Got a couple spoonfuls
of the bacon jam.
493
00:16:20,033 --> 00:16:21,967
I actually am loving
494
00:16:21,967 --> 00:16:23,467
Arturo's Korean army stew.
495
00:16:23,467 --> 00:16:26,033
He has some slices
of American cheese,
496
00:16:26,033 --> 00:16:28,667
which he's putting
over the noodles.
497
00:16:28,667 --> 00:16:30,100
I think it looks so good.
498
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:31,400
[Arturo] And I have
that crispy bacon
499
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:32,800
for the textural component.
500
00:16:34,100 --> 00:16:35,133
[Guy] Two minutes!
501
00:16:35,667 --> 00:16:37,467
[Justin] I grab my dishes.
502
00:16:37,467 --> 00:16:40,000
Then I put my
perfectly cooked cheeseburger,
503
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,634
then the bacon,
504
00:16:41,967 --> 00:16:42,834
jalapenos.
505
00:16:42,834 --> 00:16:44,767
I check on my
bacon caramel sauce.
506
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:45,767
I have savory
507
00:16:45,767 --> 00:16:48,367
and sweet all together.
This sauce is a winner.
508
00:16:48,367 --> 00:16:50,300
-Actually, I'm...
-Oh, look at this caramel.
509
00:16:52,567 --> 00:16:53,800
Ninety seconds!
510
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,166
That's really good.
511
00:16:57,166 --> 00:17:00,867
First, I proceed
to plate the polenta.
512
00:17:00,867 --> 00:17:02,367
And on top of the polenta,
513
00:17:02,367 --> 00:17:05,667
I go with the fresh corn
black bean salsa,
514
00:17:05,667 --> 00:17:07,467
and then top everything off
515
00:17:07,467 --> 00:17:09,300
with those beautifully cooked
516
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:10,533
pieces of bacon.
517
00:17:11,166 --> 00:17:12,800
Man, that looks good, bro.
518
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:14,133
[Guy] One minute!
519
00:17:14,667 --> 00:17:16,734
That clock moves so fast.
520
00:17:16,734 --> 00:17:17,867
Literally blinked,
521
00:17:17,867 --> 00:17:21,033
and it went from
30 minutes to plating.
522
00:17:21,033 --> 00:17:24,367
I go check the fryer,
and the pork is gorgeous.
523
00:17:24,367 --> 00:17:26,300
It is golden.
524
00:17:26,300 --> 00:17:28,467
I open the oven,
and my baguettes are
525
00:17:28,467 --> 00:17:29,667
perfectly toasted.
526
00:17:29,667 --> 00:17:31,033
You have these
huge loaves of bread,
527
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:32,734
and you're giving them
these tiny little things?
528
00:17:32,734 --> 00:17:35,433
[sighs] I dropped
half the other one.
529
00:17:36,300 --> 00:17:38,467
Then I slathered
my bacon soy mayo.
530
00:17:38,467 --> 00:17:41,400
Next, I add
my crispy fried pork.
531
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,033
[Guy] Ten seconds!
532
00:17:43,033 --> 00:17:46,166
[Barbie] Now I'm going to
pile on all of my veggies.
533
00:17:46,166 --> 00:17:48,533
-Ah.
-[Guy] Five, four,
534
00:17:48,867 --> 00:17:50,200
three,
535
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,266
two, one.
536
00:17:52,266 --> 00:17:54,266
-That's it. Stop working.
-[Joe] I love that.
537
00:17:54,266 --> 00:17:55,934
-[Maneet] Yes! Good job.
-Yeah.
538
00:17:55,934 --> 00:17:57,934
[Damaris] Very impressed.
539
00:17:57,934 --> 00:17:59,400
[Barbie]
It looks like a hot mess.
540
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,166
My plate, my banh mi
541
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:02,834
is half its size,
542
00:18:02,834 --> 00:18:05,333
but I know all of
the flavor components
are there.
543
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Wow.
544
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,500
There's a lot going on there.
545
00:18:10,300 --> 00:18:11,667
All right, judges,
this is game one
546
00:18:11,667 --> 00:18:13,200
of Bad to the Bacon,
547
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,500
the Piggy Bank Battle.
548
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,834
Huh? Came up
with that on my own.
549
00:18:16,834 --> 00:18:19,600
Up first, Chef Justin,
tell us about this bacon dish.
550
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,300
I do a bacon caramel burger
at my restaurant,
551
00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:24,867
so I wanted to do
a bacon caramel burger
for you guys.
552
00:18:24,867 --> 00:18:28,066
I used the bacon fat
to go with the jalapenos,
553
00:18:28,066 --> 00:18:29,500
the bacon caramel sauce.
554
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,400
-What's the name
of your place?
-Bake'n Bacon.
555
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,767
-Like the socks.
-[Damaris laughing] Socks.
556
00:18:33,767 --> 00:18:34,834
[Guy] So you don't even have
a business card.
557
00:18:34,834 --> 00:18:36,266
You're in the elevator,
and you just tell somebody,
558
00:18:36,266 --> 00:18:37,400
"Yeah, come check
my place out
559
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,333
-so you can look at my sock."
-Yeah, I just pull my--
560
00:18:38,333 --> 00:18:39,967
I just pull up
my pants a little bit.
561
00:18:39,967 --> 00:18:41,500
[Joe laughs]
562
00:18:41,500 --> 00:18:43,467
You really celebrate
the bacon over here,
563
00:18:43,467 --> 00:18:44,967
because there is
so much richness.
564
00:18:44,967 --> 00:18:46,667
There is bacon,
there's cheese,
565
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:48,000
there is the beef.
566
00:18:48,567 --> 00:18:49,834
I love the caramel sauce.
567
00:18:49,834 --> 00:18:51,266
It was smart to go back,
568
00:18:51,266 --> 00:18:53,367
get a jar of caramel sauce.
569
00:18:53,367 --> 00:18:55,467
Very smart
for a budget battle.
570
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:56,567
It needs acid.
571
00:18:56,567 --> 00:18:58,266
You had that jar
of red wine vinegar.
572
00:18:58,266 --> 00:19:00,400
Had you hit your caramel sauce
and turned it into
573
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,200
a sweet and sour style
bacon jam,
574
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,367
this would have been
a knock-out-of-the-park
home run.
575
00:19:05,367 --> 00:19:09,100
That sauce, it just,
it eats very, very sweet.
576
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,567
Chef, why did you get in
the bacon business?
577
00:19:10,567 --> 00:19:12,867
My younger brother
passed away in 2016,
578
00:19:12,867 --> 00:19:14,767
um, and he visited me
in a dream, like,
579
00:19:14,767 --> 00:19:16,867
and he just gave me
the idea in the dream.
580
00:19:16,867 --> 00:19:18,066
I wanted to honor him,
581
00:19:18,066 --> 00:19:20,200
and I did that
with my first food truck,
582
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,100
and now we have
three food trucks.
583
00:19:22,100 --> 00:19:23,166
-I'm sorry for your losses.
-Thank you.
584
00:19:23,166 --> 00:19:25,200
That's tough. A sibling is...
585
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,300
-What's his name?
-[Justin] Derek.
586
00:19:26,300 --> 00:19:27,166
-Derek.
-[Justin] Yeah.
587
00:19:27,166 --> 00:19:28,166
[Guy] Look at how you're
doing now, man.
588
00:19:28,166 --> 00:19:29,166
-Yeah.
-[Guy] So he's
got to be getting
589
00:19:29,166 --> 00:19:30,834
-a huge kick out of this.
-Thank you.
590
00:19:30,834 --> 00:19:32,734
All right, judges,
up next, Chef Arturo,
591
00:19:32,734 --> 00:19:33,734
what do you have for us, bud?
592
00:19:33,734 --> 00:19:34,934
For my signature bacon dish,
593
00:19:34,934 --> 00:19:36,266
I have made a budae jjigae,
594
00:19:36,266 --> 00:19:38,166
or a Korean army stew.
595
00:19:38,166 --> 00:19:40,767
So one of the key ingredients
is that American cheese.
596
00:19:40,767 --> 00:19:42,467
I added some
fried bacon on top,
597
00:19:42,467 --> 00:19:45,367
and I also put
a bacon jam to kind of
598
00:19:45,367 --> 00:19:47,834
accentuate a little sweetness
into the dish.
599
00:19:47,834 --> 00:19:48,867
[Guy] Uh,
what do you think, Damaris?
600
00:19:48,867 --> 00:19:50,066
Would Mr. Burt Fancy
601
00:19:50,066 --> 00:19:51,967
-enjoy that, Damaris?
-Oh, my God, he would
lap this up.
602
00:19:51,967 --> 00:19:54,100
-[Guy] Right?
-[Damaris] Mr. Fancy
would be up in here.
603
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:55,467
-That's her cat, by the way...
-[Damaris] That's my cat.
604
00:19:55,467 --> 00:19:58,033
-...in case you guys are
getting weirded out.
-[Damaris] He'd love it.
605
00:19:58,033 --> 00:20:00,467
-This is very delicious.
-Thank you.
606
00:20:00,467 --> 00:20:02,867
The cheese ramen
is one of my favorite.
607
00:20:02,867 --> 00:20:05,066
You've had this before,
cheese ramen?
608
00:20:05,066 --> 00:20:06,934
Cheese ramen
is one of my favorites.
609
00:20:06,934 --> 00:20:08,734
The American cheese kind of
610
00:20:08,734 --> 00:20:10,467
melts into it and is,
611
00:20:10,467 --> 00:20:12,367
like, fatty and salty.
612
00:20:12,367 --> 00:20:15,033
The crispy fried bacon
on the top
613
00:20:15,033 --> 00:20:17,066
is definitely budget bacon.
614
00:20:17,066 --> 00:20:19,100
And you know that because of
the way it fried up.
615
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:22,033
-It's so crispy and so fatty.
-Yeah. Yeah.
616
00:20:22,033 --> 00:20:24,166
And you went and got ramen,
617
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:25,600
the 39 cent ramen.
618
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,467
I think that was so smart.
619
00:20:27,467 --> 00:20:30,500
I actually get bacon
in each and every bite.
620
00:20:30,500 --> 00:20:32,066
I can taste it in the broth.
621
00:20:32,066 --> 00:20:34,367
I can also taste it in the jam
that you have.
622
00:20:34,367 --> 00:20:35,800
There are pieces of bacon.
623
00:20:36,567 --> 00:20:38,600
I am missing
a pickled element over here.
624
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,600
Like, when you think about it,
625
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,800
-a little bit of kimchi
on the side.
-Oh, yeah.
626
00:20:42,266 --> 00:20:43,266
You got so much flavor
627
00:20:43,266 --> 00:20:45,567
in this broth in such a short
amount of time,
628
00:20:45,567 --> 00:20:48,066
and on a piggy bank budget.
629
00:20:48,066 --> 00:20:49,266
Thank you so much.
630
00:20:49,266 --> 00:20:51,400
Up next, Chef Charif.
What do you have for us?
631
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,967
All right, judges, what I've
prepared for you today,
632
00:20:53,967 --> 00:20:55,367
a pan-seared bacon.
633
00:20:55,367 --> 00:20:57,266
Served on top of polenta
634
00:20:57,266 --> 00:20:59,667
with a corn black bean relish.
635
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:01,333
Hopefully, the bacon
will melt in your mouth.
636
00:21:02,567 --> 00:21:04,300
I'm very impressed
with this plate,
637
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:05,600
especially for
a budget battle.
638
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,166
It really looks high-end.
639
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:10,567
Clearly, it wasn't,
'cause you only had $29.
640
00:21:10,567 --> 00:21:12,767
I just love your choice
of the thick-cut bacon,
641
00:21:12,767 --> 00:21:15,567
'cause you get
an additional texture
642
00:21:15,567 --> 00:21:16,767
from some pieces
that are soft,
643
00:21:16,767 --> 00:21:18,166
some pieces that are chewy.
644
00:21:18,166 --> 00:21:20,100
But I think over here,
645
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:22,100
there is a lost opportunity.
646
00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:23,266
You had the bacon.
647
00:21:23,266 --> 00:21:24,967
If you had layered it,
648
00:21:24,967 --> 00:21:27,667
some in the polenta,
some in the relish,
649
00:21:27,667 --> 00:21:29,367
then on top, I think that
650
00:21:29,367 --> 00:21:32,367
would have just
fortified the flavor of bacon
651
00:21:32,367 --> 00:21:33,767
and made the bacon
652
00:21:33,767 --> 00:21:35,567
just the highlight
of the dish.
653
00:21:35,567 --> 00:21:36,967
Thank you.
654
00:21:36,967 --> 00:21:38,300
And not to be outdone,
655
00:21:38,300 --> 00:21:39,767
Chef Barbie,
what do you have for us?
656
00:21:39,767 --> 00:21:42,100
For my signature dish,
I made for you
657
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:44,367
a pork loin banh mi
658
00:21:44,367 --> 00:21:46,500
with soy bacon mayo,
659
00:21:47,033 --> 00:21:49,266
pickled carrots and onions,
660
00:21:49,266 --> 00:21:51,000
cucumbers, jalapenos,
661
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,166
on a toasted baguette.
662
00:21:53,166 --> 00:21:56,166
Chef Barbie,
this is bacon me crazy.
663
00:21:56,166 --> 00:21:57,734
I love the way
that you shopped
664
00:21:57,734 --> 00:21:59,500
and approached
this budget battle
665
00:21:59,500 --> 00:22:00,867
by pulling vegetables,
666
00:22:00,867 --> 00:22:02,867
'cause that's
an inexpensive ingredient.
667
00:22:02,867 --> 00:22:04,166
And it brings freshness.
668
00:22:04,166 --> 00:22:05,834
You know, banh mi is,
669
00:22:05,834 --> 00:22:08,834
-you know,
it's street food in Vietnam.
-[mouthing] Yes.
670
00:22:08,834 --> 00:22:12,266
[Maneet] They are so flavorful
and it's always on a budget.
671
00:22:12,266 --> 00:22:15,467
I do get bacon
in each and every bite.
672
00:22:15,467 --> 00:22:18,834
So you really embraced
that bacon aspect of this.
673
00:22:18,834 --> 00:22:20,367
Thank you, chef.
674
00:22:20,367 --> 00:22:22,367
The mayonnaise,
if you jarred it,
675
00:22:22,367 --> 00:22:24,333
I would eat it with a spoon.
676
00:22:24,667 --> 00:22:25,834
It is spectacular.
677
00:22:25,834 --> 00:22:28,100
The baguettes are small.
678
00:22:28,100 --> 00:22:30,367
Because you had some trouble
with your baguette
679
00:22:30,367 --> 00:22:31,867
because you
dropped one of them,
680
00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:34,000
the size
really struggles here.
681
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,500
You don't taste the budget.
682
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:37,967
You see the budget
'cause it's tiny.
683
00:22:38,867 --> 00:22:40,166
[Guy] All right.
I think those were some
684
00:22:40,166 --> 00:22:42,467
bodacious bacon dishes.
685
00:22:42,467 --> 00:22:44,000
We're gonna send you
back to the kitchens
686
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,166
and we're gonna find out
which little piggy goes home.
687
00:22:46,166 --> 00:22:47,734
All right.
Thank you very much.
688
00:22:49,734 --> 00:22:50,667
Anybody safe?
689
00:22:50,667 --> 00:22:52,867
-For me, Arturo is safe.
-[Maneet] I agree.
690
00:22:52,867 --> 00:22:53,734
[Damaris] His is the best.
691
00:22:53,734 --> 00:22:54,700
[Guy] Yeah, I don't want
to hear about it
692
00:22:54,700 --> 00:22:56,467
because I can't even
have a bite of it
693
00:22:56,467 --> 00:22:57,967
'cause you guys
are slopping back
694
00:22:57,967 --> 00:22:59,266
-into your bowl.
-[Damaris] True story.
695
00:22:59,266 --> 00:23:00,400
I really like Charif.
696
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:01,867
[Guy] It was a great dish.
697
00:23:01,867 --> 00:23:03,667
It was a great dish,
but bacon,
698
00:23:03,667 --> 00:23:06,166
I think he could have
used bacon a lot better.
699
00:23:06,166 --> 00:23:07,467
For me, I think,
700
00:23:07,467 --> 00:23:08,934
not safe is Justin,
701
00:23:08,934 --> 00:23:10,834
with that really rich,
702
00:23:10,834 --> 00:23:12,500
thick, sweet caramel.
703
00:23:13,367 --> 00:23:14,500
Who's going home?
704
00:23:24,066 --> 00:23:25,233
Chefs.
705
00:23:25,233 --> 00:23:27,400
Everybody makes great dishes.
Somebody's got to go home.
706
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,400
The chef
that will be checking out
707
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,834
in the big, bad,
bodacious bacon battle
708
00:23:31,834 --> 00:23:32,867
will be...
709
00:23:35,734 --> 00:23:38,467
unfortunately, Chef Charif.
710
00:23:38,467 --> 00:23:41,266
Great dish, not enough bacon,
but it was great to have you.
711
00:23:41,266 --> 00:23:42,200
-Thanks, chef.
-[Charif] Thank you so much.
712
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,400
Darn. Not enough bacon
for a bacon battle.
713
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,367
I wish I had
an unlimited budget,
714
00:23:48,367 --> 00:23:49,900
but that's the name
of the game.
715
00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:57,300
-You know what I got
right here?
-Pig skin.
716
00:23:57,300 --> 00:23:59,667
Pig skin. This round's
gonna determine
717
00:23:59,667 --> 00:24:01,066
who shops Flavortown Market
718
00:24:01,066 --> 00:24:02,767
for up to 20,000 bucks.
719
00:24:02,767 --> 00:24:04,900
So it's go pig or go home.
720
00:24:05,367 --> 00:24:06,300
-Ha.
-Okay.
721
00:24:06,300 --> 00:24:08,100
Okay. Now, you gave us some
722
00:24:08,100 --> 00:24:10,333
delicious bacon dishes
in round one,
723
00:24:11,033 --> 00:24:13,734
but I want you
to show the judges
724
00:24:13,734 --> 00:24:15,767
that you can also do some, uh,
725
00:24:15,767 --> 00:24:17,634
-swine dining.
-[chuckles softly]
726
00:24:18,266 --> 00:24:19,300
High-end bacon dish.
727
00:24:19,300 --> 00:24:22,500
And since there's so many
upscale bacon dishes,
728
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:24,400
I want you
to pair it with something.
729
00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:27,166
Fruit. So we're gonna
play a little game
730
00:24:27,166 --> 00:24:29,100
that we call fruit basket.
731
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:31,467
You're each gonna take a turn
throwing the old pig skin
732
00:24:31,467 --> 00:24:33,066
into the fruit basket.
733
00:24:33,066 --> 00:24:35,166
Whichever basket you land in,
734
00:24:35,500 --> 00:24:37,266
apples, frozen bananas,
735
00:24:37,266 --> 00:24:39,200
figs, canned plums,
736
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,767
pineapple, and dried mango,
737
00:24:41,767 --> 00:24:44,166
well, that's
going to determine
738
00:24:44,166 --> 00:24:47,467
what is a must-have fruit
in your bacon dish.
739
00:24:47,467 --> 00:24:48,567
All right.
Who wants to go first?
740
00:24:48,567 --> 00:24:50,100
-Hold on. Hold on.
-What up?
741
00:24:50,100 --> 00:24:51,500
-[Arturo] Oh, my God.
-[Barbie] Oh, what?
742
00:24:51,500 --> 00:24:53,567
-What?
-This is my fiancee, Tara.
743
00:24:53,567 --> 00:24:55,567
-Hi, guys.
-[Hunter] She is
a professional
744
00:24:55,567 --> 00:24:57,967
pickleball player.
Now, I figured
745
00:24:57,967 --> 00:25:00,867
it's a little hard
to throw that big ball
into that small basket.
746
00:25:00,867 --> 00:25:02,767
-[Guy] Got it. Got it.
-How about we play...
747
00:25:02,767 --> 00:25:03,934
Pig-gleball.
748
00:25:03,934 --> 00:25:05,166
-Oh, my...
-Oh, no.
749
00:25:05,166 --> 00:25:06,734
-[Hunter] Pig-gleball.
-Pig-gleball.
750
00:25:06,734 --> 00:25:07,867
[Hunter] Get it?
751
00:25:07,867 --> 00:25:08,767
[Guy] You're gonna take
752
00:25:08,767 --> 00:25:10,200
this small little ball...
753
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,367
-Yes.
-...with the paddle
754
00:25:11,367 --> 00:25:13,066
and hit it into the... Huh.
755
00:25:13,066 --> 00:25:14,433
-[Tara] Yes.
-Can you guys do that?
756
00:25:14,867 --> 00:25:15,767
We're gonna try.
757
00:25:15,767 --> 00:25:18,166
-Who would like to go first?
-I'll do it.
758
00:25:18,166 --> 00:25:19,867
Oh, no.
759
00:25:19,867 --> 00:25:21,066
[Arturo] All right.
760
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,567
-[Hunter] Hey.
-[Guy] Canned plums.
761
00:25:25,567 --> 00:25:27,900
-Everybody's favorite,
the canned plums.
-You know it. [laughs]
762
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,500
Barbie, you want to go next?
763
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:30,767
All right.
764
00:25:30,767 --> 00:25:32,233
Going for apples.
765
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:36,767
You didn't say
what kind of apple,
766
00:25:36,767 --> 00:25:38,166
-so you got the pineapple.
-[Hunter] Right.
767
00:25:38,166 --> 00:25:40,934
-I'm good with that.
Not complaining.
-All right.
768
00:25:40,934 --> 00:25:43,266
-You want to let the hair down
for this, Justin?
-Sure.
769
00:25:43,266 --> 00:25:45,700
Let's try to get these apples.
770
00:25:46,734 --> 00:25:47,600
Oh, no!
771
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,066
-[Hunter] Figs.
-[Guy] And it's figs.
772
00:25:49,066 --> 00:25:50,767
-Go figure.
-[Justin chuckles]
773
00:25:50,767 --> 00:25:51,767
[Guy] You have 30 minutes
774
00:25:51,767 --> 00:25:54,400
to make a high-end bacon dish
775
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,600
featuring your chosen fruit.
776
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,100
Do you know
how the show works?
777
00:25:58,100 --> 00:25:59,767
We say "Three, two, one,"
then they go.
778
00:25:59,767 --> 00:26:01,333
-You want to say it?
-Here we go.
779
00:26:08,100 --> 00:26:11,166
A fruit is such a great
combination with bacon.
780
00:26:11,166 --> 00:26:12,567
There's the sweetness,
781
00:26:12,567 --> 00:26:15,634
which just contradicts
the saltiness, the savoriness.
782
00:26:16,567 --> 00:26:18,567
[Barbie] Beautiful.
Pineapple and bacon
783
00:26:18,567 --> 00:26:20,367
go together so well.
784
00:26:20,367 --> 00:26:22,700
I grab bacon slab
and bacon ends.
785
00:26:24,467 --> 00:26:25,367
I'm making an upscale
786
00:26:25,367 --> 00:26:28,333
pineapple and seafood
bacon fried rice.
787
00:26:30,467 --> 00:26:32,934
There's always a fried rice
on our food truck,
788
00:26:32,934 --> 00:26:33,934
and it sells out
789
00:26:33,934 --> 00:26:36,100
just as quickly
as the banh mis.
790
00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:38,300
But I know I can elevate this
791
00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:40,567
to an upscale dish.
792
00:26:40,567 --> 00:26:43,400
Consider it like, you know,
Barbie 2.0 version.
793
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Yeah, let's just
start cooking.
794
00:26:46,467 --> 00:26:48,934
[Justin]
I'm grabbing sliced bacon,
795
00:26:48,934 --> 00:26:51,033
cubed bacon, Canadian bacon.
796
00:26:51,033 --> 00:26:52,567
I'm just grabbing
a whole bunch of bacon.
797
00:26:52,567 --> 00:26:55,033
I want bacon
to be the star of the show.
798
00:26:55,033 --> 00:26:57,100
So I have to make
a high-end bacon dish
799
00:26:57,100 --> 00:26:59,400
and I have
to incorporate figs.
800
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,467
[sighs]
801
00:27:00,467 --> 00:27:03,367
This is definitely
a curveball. A pickleball.
802
00:27:03,367 --> 00:27:06,000
A pig-gleball.
803
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,100
I'm thinking about
doing a filet.
804
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:08,934
[Guy] Plenty of time.
805
00:27:08,934 --> 00:27:11,867
Filets are synonymous
with high-end.
806
00:27:11,867 --> 00:27:13,467
Mac and cheese
is high-end to me
807
00:27:13,467 --> 00:27:15,166
because it's comfort food.
808
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:17,600
It kind of goes everywhere.
809
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,767
My mac and cheese
is on point, so...
810
00:27:19,767 --> 00:27:21,000
Here's my issue.
811
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,734
Mac and cheese does not scream
812
00:27:22,734 --> 00:27:25,233
-high-end swine dining to me.
-[Maneet] Nope.
813
00:27:25,667 --> 00:27:26,834
Where are the figs?
814
00:27:26,834 --> 00:27:28,367
There's some figs
for you right here.
815
00:27:28,367 --> 00:27:30,100
I decided to go
with fresh figs
816
00:27:30,100 --> 00:27:32,266
'cause that would be
more high-end.
817
00:27:32,266 --> 00:27:34,734
I'm making a bacon fig jam.
818
00:27:34,734 --> 00:27:36,000
I need bacon to be on
819
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,834
every single element here.
820
00:27:37,834 --> 00:27:38,900
That's what I do
at the restaurant,
821
00:27:38,900 --> 00:27:41,166
so this is what I'm gonna do
here at Flavortown.
822
00:27:41,166 --> 00:27:43,400
Fig and the meat and the bacon
coming together.
823
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,433
What a combo.
824
00:27:46,734 --> 00:27:48,600
[Arturo] Guanciale.
825
00:27:49,266 --> 00:27:50,734
I don't think I've ever eaten
826
00:27:50,734 --> 00:27:52,467
a canned plum before.
And I'm like,
827
00:27:52,467 --> 00:27:55,066
"What the heck am I gonna do
with this thing?"
828
00:27:55,066 --> 00:27:57,300
Get that nice stuff.
Center cut.
829
00:27:58,367 --> 00:28:00,667
Technique is the most
important thing for me
830
00:28:00,667 --> 00:28:02,767
when it comes to
a high-end dish.
831
00:28:02,767 --> 00:28:04,667
I am making bacon gnocchis.
832
00:28:04,667 --> 00:28:06,567
I'm gonna make
the pasta from scratch,
833
00:28:06,567 --> 00:28:08,400
and I'm really gonna show
the judges what I'm made of.
834
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,066
You can pay $100
for a steak any day,
835
00:28:11,066 --> 00:28:12,767
but a nicely-executed pasta,
836
00:28:12,767 --> 00:28:14,600
that's something
that you don't see often.
837
00:28:14,834 --> 00:28:16,033
Wow, buttery.
838
00:28:16,033 --> 00:28:17,567
I'm used to making gnocchis
839
00:28:17,567 --> 00:28:19,266
with plenty of time
on the clock.
840
00:28:19,266 --> 00:28:20,367
I don't have that,
841
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:22,834
so I'm gonna try
to make gnocchis
842
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:24,734
out of powdered
mashed potatoes.
843
00:28:25,934 --> 00:28:27,600
I instantly go for the crab.
844
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,934
The crab is gonna elevate this
845
00:28:28,934 --> 00:28:30,166
to fine dining territory.
846
00:28:30,166 --> 00:28:32,000
Canned plums...
847
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,767
Purple plums.
Oh, nice, with a pop top.
848
00:28:34,767 --> 00:28:36,467
Then I'm gonna make
a spicy sauce
849
00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:39,133
that's gonna be balanced
with these canned plums.
850
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,567
We'll go a couple of Fresnos.
851
00:28:41,567 --> 00:28:43,634
Now I just need
to not mess it up.
852
00:28:46,166 --> 00:28:47,700
[Guy] 24 minutes!
853
00:28:48,667 --> 00:28:50,300
Chef, what do you think?
854
00:28:50,300 --> 00:28:52,700
[Barbie] Pineapple
compliments bacon really well.
855
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,367
Got that tangy sweetness
about it.
856
00:28:55,367 --> 00:28:57,767
I am making a bacon
857
00:28:57,767 --> 00:29:00,567
and shrimp fried rice
with pineapple.
858
00:29:00,567 --> 00:29:03,367
-Is that high-end, chef?
-High-end means
859
00:29:03,367 --> 00:29:06,400
good quality ingredients with
860
00:29:07,033 --> 00:29:09,667
the presentation part
of it as well.
861
00:29:09,667 --> 00:29:12,100
Put it all in a pineapple bowl
862
00:29:12,100 --> 00:29:13,567
because I've paid
863
00:29:13,567 --> 00:29:15,467
high-end dollar for it before.
864
00:29:15,467 --> 00:29:16,634
Got it.
865
00:29:17,467 --> 00:29:19,100
I actually love the idea.
866
00:29:19,100 --> 00:29:21,467
The amazing part
about high-end right now is
867
00:29:21,467 --> 00:29:22,867
how you plate it.
868
00:29:22,867 --> 00:29:25,467
[Barbie] How do you scoop
these suckers out of here?
869
00:29:25,467 --> 00:29:27,200
I know fried rice
is a humble dish.
870
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,767
Growing up, we come
from humble beginnings,
871
00:29:29,767 --> 00:29:32,600
but I am going to
make this high-end.
872
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,767
She's spending so much time
873
00:29:34,767 --> 00:29:36,834
just cleaning those bowls
that I'm really afraid that
874
00:29:36,834 --> 00:29:39,100
she won't be able
to give enough time
875
00:29:39,100 --> 00:29:42,166
to the flavor building
of the fried rice.
876
00:29:42,166 --> 00:29:43,500
[Barbie] This is super hard.
877
00:29:45,934 --> 00:29:47,367
[Guy] 20 minutes!
878
00:29:47,367 --> 00:29:49,300
They need
to make bacon the star
879
00:29:49,567 --> 00:29:50,767
of a high-end dish.
880
00:29:50,767 --> 00:29:53,166
Bacon's usually
the supporting character...
881
00:29:53,166 --> 00:29:54,367
-[Damaris] Yup.
-...in a dish.
882
00:29:54,367 --> 00:29:55,800
-[Damaris] Mm-hmm.
-And so they need
to make it the star
883
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,066
-and sing alongside
everything else.
-[Damaris and Maneet] Yup.
884
00:29:58,066 --> 00:29:59,767
Chef Justin, what do you got
for me, man?
885
00:29:59,767 --> 00:30:00,767
[Justin] Um,
886
00:30:00,767 --> 00:30:03,066
I feel like a lot of people
go out for steaks,
887
00:30:03,066 --> 00:30:05,266
so just having a nice filet.
888
00:30:05,266 --> 00:30:07,367
I'm gonna add some
mac and cheese.
889
00:30:07,367 --> 00:30:08,934
How's mac and cheese high-end?
890
00:30:08,934 --> 00:30:10,266
Depending on how you do it.
891
00:30:10,266 --> 00:30:12,600
It's gonna pair with...
892
00:30:13,166 --> 00:30:15,100
-No, fig.
-[chuckles softly]
893
00:30:15,100 --> 00:30:17,867
I have to add fig
into this somehow.
894
00:30:17,867 --> 00:30:20,066
I'm gonna try to
incorporate them
with the bacon.
895
00:30:20,066 --> 00:30:23,567
A fig jam is something
that I felt I can do very fast
896
00:30:23,567 --> 00:30:25,767
since bacon needs
to be the star of the show.
897
00:30:27,266 --> 00:30:29,667
If I win, I want
to take the money
898
00:30:29,667 --> 00:30:32,100
and go on vacation.
899
00:30:32,100 --> 00:30:34,667
My brother passed away when
I was actually in Thailand,
900
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:36,367
and I don't remember
much of the trip.
901
00:30:36,367 --> 00:30:38,266
I want to try
to do the trip over
902
00:30:38,266 --> 00:30:39,834
and just revisit it
and get that
903
00:30:39,834 --> 00:30:42,634
spiritual connection back
with my brother.
904
00:30:42,634 --> 00:30:44,166
-[Arturo] Awesome.
-Chef, what's on
the game plan?
905
00:30:44,166 --> 00:30:45,333
So what I'm gonna do is
906
00:30:45,333 --> 00:30:46,567
I'm gonna try
to make a gnocchi,
907
00:30:46,567 --> 00:30:49,166
because I see that
as a high-end dish.
I got a little crab.
908
00:30:49,166 --> 00:30:51,033
I'm gonna have bacon
that's gonna go into
909
00:30:51,033 --> 00:30:52,066
the spicy arrabbiata sauce
910
00:30:52,066 --> 00:30:54,133
-that I'm gonna make.
-Got it.
911
00:30:54,133 --> 00:30:56,667
[Arturo] First, I'm gonna
get the canned plums
incorporated in here.
912
00:30:56,667 --> 00:30:57,467
Mm.
913
00:30:58,433 --> 00:31:00,367
Could have had
pitted canned plums.
914
00:31:00,367 --> 00:31:01,667
So I spend some time
915
00:31:01,667 --> 00:31:03,433
pitting these plums.
916
00:31:03,433 --> 00:31:04,834
They are delicious, though,
even though they have
917
00:31:04,834 --> 00:31:06,634
the pits in them. Oh, well.
918
00:31:06,634 --> 00:31:08,166
I'm gonna blend up these plums
919
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,333
to add a little bit
of sweetness
920
00:31:09,333 --> 00:31:10,367
to my agrodolce.
921
00:31:10,367 --> 00:31:11,967
So while that's simmering,
922
00:31:11,967 --> 00:31:14,000
I'm gonna make my
instant mashed potato gnocchi.
923
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,467
-I think he's making
gnocchi from scratch.
-He is.
924
00:31:16,467 --> 00:31:18,166
[Arturo]
I got the flour in there,
925
00:31:18,166 --> 00:31:19,567
some bacon and herbs.
926
00:31:20,367 --> 00:31:22,600
That's gonna go
right into the gnocchi.
927
00:31:24,467 --> 00:31:27,133
I'm curious if this is
something Arturo has
done before
928
00:31:27,133 --> 00:31:28,867
or he's trying
for the first time.
929
00:31:28,867 --> 00:31:30,467
I bet he's done it before.
930
00:31:30,467 --> 00:31:32,000
Like, nobody goes in
and is like,
931
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,667
"You know
what I'm about to do?
Make some gnocchi.
932
00:31:33,667 --> 00:31:34,700
I haven't made them before.
933
00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:36,533
-I'm gonna use
the instant potatoes."
-[laughs]
934
00:31:36,533 --> 00:31:37,467
Nobody.
935
00:31:37,467 --> 00:31:38,967
[laughing] Nobody.
936
00:31:38,967 --> 00:31:40,066
I've never done it before,
937
00:31:40,066 --> 00:31:41,634
but I'm gonna
go out on a limb here.
938
00:31:41,634 --> 00:31:44,000
I've worked so hard
in my career to get to
where I'm at.
939
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:44,900
If I win the money,
940
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:47,567
hopefully I can
open another restaurant.
941
00:31:47,567 --> 00:31:49,500
And I want
to make my family proud.
942
00:31:52,433 --> 00:31:53,667
[Guy] 15 minutes!
943
00:31:54,266 --> 00:31:56,033
Wow, look at the little bowls.
944
00:31:56,033 --> 00:31:56,934
-[Barbie] I'm trying.
-[Guy] How cute.
945
00:31:56,934 --> 00:32:00,100
What else do we have
in this fried rice?
946
00:32:00,100 --> 00:32:01,600
[Barbie] I need
to get my duck eggs in.
947
00:32:02,467 --> 00:32:05,433
Thai chili,
chili sauce, Thai basil.
948
00:32:05,433 --> 00:32:08,000
So it's gonna be
a little bit, I hope, spicy.
949
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,266
-Is the pineapple
going in there, too, chef?
-[Barbie] Yep.
950
00:32:10,266 --> 00:32:11,266
It's gonna add that
951
00:32:11,266 --> 00:32:13,367
-key sweetness to it.
-Got it.
952
00:32:13,367 --> 00:32:14,600
[Barbie] Get my shrimp going.
953
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,567
Next, I'm going
to cook my slab bacon.
954
00:32:18,567 --> 00:32:20,166
I added five-spice.
955
00:32:20,166 --> 00:32:21,834
Cornstarch.
956
00:32:21,834 --> 00:32:24,233
And I am constantly
thinking about
957
00:32:24,233 --> 00:32:25,567
how badly I want this.
958
00:32:25,567 --> 00:32:27,533
And I want to win
because that money can
959
00:32:27,533 --> 00:32:29,767
definitely help expand
our business.
960
00:32:32,567 --> 00:32:33,867
[Justin] I'm hoping that
961
00:32:33,867 --> 00:32:35,333
the pig fig jam,
962
00:32:35,333 --> 00:32:37,533
that's enough of a wow factor
963
00:32:37,533 --> 00:32:39,333
to make it high end.
964
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:41,667
So next, I'm gonna start
on making my mac and cheese.
965
00:32:41,667 --> 00:32:43,300
So I start with
my cheese sauce.
966
00:32:44,834 --> 00:32:46,567
Once my noodles
are finished cooking,
967
00:32:46,567 --> 00:32:48,066
I can add them
to the cheese sauce
968
00:32:48,066 --> 00:32:51,100
and plate them up and then
finish it in the oven.
969
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:52,800
Is the steak
getting any bacon?
970
00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:54,367
[Justin] Yes.
971
00:32:54,367 --> 00:32:55,867
-[Guy] Canadian bacon?
-[Justin] Yeah.
972
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:58,367
Canadian bacon,
why not? It's bacon.
973
00:32:58,367 --> 00:33:01,266
What I am unsure about
is the Canadian bacon
974
00:33:01,266 --> 00:33:03,333
on top of his filets.
975
00:33:03,333 --> 00:33:06,000
It's dry. It has no flavor.
976
00:33:08,433 --> 00:33:09,700
You got ten minutes.
Ten to go.
977
00:33:10,533 --> 00:33:11,667
And what is in here?
978
00:33:11,667 --> 00:33:12,967
So that's gonna be
the... [chuckles]
979
00:33:12,967 --> 00:33:15,266
Your awesome ingredient
you gave me, the plums.
980
00:33:15,266 --> 00:33:17,266
And that's gonna be
kind of like a sweet, uh,
981
00:33:17,266 --> 00:33:18,700
agrodolce kind of, uh,
982
00:33:19,100 --> 00:33:20,166
-arrabbiata sauce.
-Okay.
983
00:33:20,166 --> 00:33:21,266
[Arturo] The gnocchi's
in the water.
984
00:33:21,266 --> 00:33:22,567
[Guy] And where's
the bacon coming in?
985
00:33:22,567 --> 00:33:24,000
I got bacon
in the sauce. I got...
986
00:33:24,567 --> 00:33:25,934
There's bacon in the gnocchi.
987
00:33:25,934 --> 00:33:27,433
-[Guy] There's bacon
in the gnocchi.
-Yep.
988
00:33:27,433 --> 00:33:29,200
And I have some bacon
for garnish as well.
989
00:33:30,467 --> 00:33:32,467
Did your family make
bacon gnocchi before?
990
00:33:32,467 --> 00:33:33,367
Never put bacon in it,
991
00:33:33,367 --> 00:33:35,367
but we got to go
bacon forward today, chef.
992
00:33:35,367 --> 00:33:37,200
[Guy] I'll give you
some points on that.
993
00:33:38,233 --> 00:33:41,000
[Arturo] I'm trying
to get a good sear
on these gnocchis.
994
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,734
I took a gamble and it worked.
995
00:33:42,734 --> 00:33:44,300
I think I got
a shot at winning this.
996
00:33:46,567 --> 00:33:48,000
This is a bacon dish, so,
997
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,266
I have to make sure
I highlight it.
998
00:33:49,266 --> 00:33:51,634
And I'm gonna put bacon
in the crab mix,
999
00:33:51,634 --> 00:33:53,967
and it's like a really awesome
addition to the dish.
1000
00:33:56,166 --> 00:33:57,667
[Guy] Four minutes!
1001
00:33:57,667 --> 00:33:59,333
[Maneet] This move
that Barbie is making
1002
00:33:59,333 --> 00:34:01,266
is just impressing me so much.
1003
00:34:01,266 --> 00:34:02,266
She's grilling it
1004
00:34:02,266 --> 00:34:04,233
before she is putting the rice
1005
00:34:04,233 --> 00:34:05,567
-in there.
-[Damaris] It's really nice.
1006
00:34:05,567 --> 00:34:06,734
That's a high-end move.
1007
00:34:06,734 --> 00:34:07,834
Absolutely.
1008
00:34:07,834 --> 00:34:09,667
[Barbie] I scoop
my bacon fried rice
1009
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:10,800
into the pineapple.
1010
00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:12,667
Next, I gently lay
1011
00:34:12,667 --> 00:34:14,000
two spicy shrimp on top.
1012
00:34:14,667 --> 00:34:17,400
Then I add
my fried slab bacon.
1013
00:34:20,066 --> 00:34:21,600
Pretty impressive
pineapple dish.
1014
00:34:22,266 --> 00:34:23,533
[Barbie] Bam!
1015
00:34:25,367 --> 00:34:27,867
[Arturo] So I lay
my crab mixture down first,
1016
00:34:28,634 --> 00:34:30,834
and then I take in
my tossed pasta
1017
00:34:30,834 --> 00:34:33,166
and I start
layering that on top.
1018
00:34:33,166 --> 00:34:35,166
I've got the bacon
in the crab mix.
1019
00:34:35,166 --> 00:34:36,333
I got the bacon
in the gnocchi.
1020
00:34:36,333 --> 00:34:37,767
I got the bacon in the sauce,
1021
00:34:37,767 --> 00:34:39,000
and I got the bacon
on the garnish.
1022
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,934
I'm actually excited
to try it.
1023
00:34:40,934 --> 00:34:42,867
Two minutes, two to go.
1024
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,133
[Justin] So first,
I put my filet on
1025
00:34:46,567 --> 00:34:48,033
with the Canadian bacon on it.
1026
00:34:48,033 --> 00:34:50,867
It's looking pretty good,
the mac and cheese.
1027
00:34:50,867 --> 00:34:53,967
And then I put
my bacon fig jam on top.
1028
00:34:54,934 --> 00:34:56,533
[Guy] 90 seconds!
1029
00:34:56,533 --> 00:34:58,266
[Justin] Today, I came
to bring home the bacon.
1030
00:34:58,266 --> 00:35:00,233
So last thing I want to do
for the mac and cheese
1031
00:35:00,233 --> 00:35:01,033
is fry some bacon.
1032
00:35:01,033 --> 00:35:02,967
I wanted
a different type of texture,
1033
00:35:02,967 --> 00:35:05,767
so I wanted it to be,
like, a little crispy.
1034
00:35:07,166 --> 00:35:08,767
[Guy] Ten seconds.
1035
00:35:09,667 --> 00:35:11,600
Ooh, this is intense, y'all.
1036
00:35:13,166 --> 00:35:15,066
[Guy] Five, four,
1037
00:35:15,066 --> 00:35:16,867
three, two,
1038
00:35:16,867 --> 00:35:18,467
one. And that's it!
1039
00:35:18,934 --> 00:35:20,033
Nice job, everyone.
1040
00:35:20,033 --> 00:35:22,000
-[Damaris and Maneet whooping]
-Wow.
1041
00:35:22,433 --> 00:35:23,467
[exhales]
1042
00:35:25,433 --> 00:35:26,367
All right, judges, this is it.
1043
00:35:26,367 --> 00:35:27,667
Game two of Bad to the Bacon.
1044
00:35:27,667 --> 00:35:29,367
They got to play
a little pig-gleball.
1045
00:35:30,533 --> 00:35:32,533
Chefs had to make
a high-end bacon dish
1046
00:35:32,533 --> 00:35:34,467
using the fruit basket
that they chose.
1047
00:35:34,467 --> 00:35:36,233
Up first is Chef Justin,
1048
00:35:36,233 --> 00:35:38,467
who scored figs.
Chef, what do you have for us?
1049
00:35:38,467 --> 00:35:40,367
I did a filet
with Canadian bacon.
1050
00:35:40,367 --> 00:35:43,567
And then I chopped bacon
along with the fig
1051
00:35:43,567 --> 00:35:44,634
for the macaroni and cheese,
1052
00:35:44,634 --> 00:35:46,734
put bacon on top of that.
1053
00:35:46,734 --> 00:35:48,734
So basically you have
bacon prepared three ways.
1054
00:35:48,734 --> 00:35:50,266
-Yes.
-[Damaris] This really feels
1055
00:35:50,266 --> 00:35:51,967
like a steakhouse dinner
to me.
1056
00:35:51,967 --> 00:35:54,233
It hits high end for that.
1057
00:35:54,233 --> 00:35:57,000
The fig and bacon compote
1058
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,100
is the star of the dish.
1059
00:35:58,100 --> 00:35:59,567
You were able to get some
1060
00:35:59,567 --> 00:36:02,467
crunch on the bacon,
the fat's been rendered out,
1061
00:36:02,467 --> 00:36:04,767
and it has soaked into
the figs and made them
1062
00:36:04,767 --> 00:36:07,467
just luscious and supple
and kind of velvety.
1063
00:36:07,467 --> 00:36:09,000
Thank you.
1064
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,233
I know you were
using fresh figs.
1065
00:36:11,233 --> 00:36:12,133
But some dried figs in that
1066
00:36:12,133 --> 00:36:14,367
would have given
that nugget of sweetness,
1067
00:36:14,367 --> 00:36:16,467
which would have
balanced off the savoriness
1068
00:36:16,467 --> 00:36:18,634
-of the bacon.
-Okay. Thank you.
1069
00:36:18,634 --> 00:36:20,367
"Nugget of sweetness."
1070
00:36:20,367 --> 00:36:21,767
-[laughs]
-That's your new name.
1071
00:36:21,767 --> 00:36:24,767
-I'll take that.
-Dancing Spice Queen, AKA
1072
00:36:24,767 --> 00:36:26,667
-Nugget of Sweetness.
-Nugget of Sweetness.
1073
00:36:26,667 --> 00:36:27,867
You're bringing home the bacon
1074
00:36:27,867 --> 00:36:29,867
with this mac and cheese.
It's textbook.
1075
00:36:29,867 --> 00:36:32,533
And the way that you fried
the bacon bits on top
1076
00:36:32,533 --> 00:36:35,066
to give you almost like that
breadcrumb topping
1077
00:36:35,066 --> 00:36:36,433
gives you
a wonderful porkiness.
1078
00:36:36,433 --> 00:36:38,066
I wish you would have paid
a little more attention
1079
00:36:38,066 --> 00:36:39,834
to the sear on your filet.
1080
00:36:39,834 --> 00:36:40,734
And for me,
1081
00:36:40,734 --> 00:36:43,467
this Canadian bacon
just did not do it.
1082
00:36:43,467 --> 00:36:45,667
It's rubbery,
it's hard to eat,
1083
00:36:45,667 --> 00:36:48,367
and I wish
you would have just done
something else with it.
1084
00:36:48,367 --> 00:36:49,634
Thank you.
1085
00:36:49,634 --> 00:36:51,634
Up next, Chef Barbie,
what do you have for us?
1086
00:36:51,634 --> 00:36:53,767
I present to you high-end
1087
00:36:53,767 --> 00:36:56,166
pineapple bacon fried rice
1088
00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:59,767
with a pork slab, with shrimp.
1089
00:36:59,767 --> 00:37:01,934
It is beautiful,
I'll tell you that much.
1090
00:37:01,934 --> 00:37:04,266
-Thank you.
-There's no reason why
1091
00:37:04,266 --> 00:37:06,100
such a simple dish
like fried rice
1092
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,266
can't be elevated
to a fine dining level.
1093
00:37:08,266 --> 00:37:11,033
You knocked it out of the park
with this one.
1094
00:37:11,033 --> 00:37:13,667
The way you used
the five-spice in this
1095
00:37:13,667 --> 00:37:15,033
I think is so smart.
1096
00:37:15,033 --> 00:37:16,533
It's comforting, it's warming,
1097
00:37:16,533 --> 00:37:17,967
and it's not overpowering.
1098
00:37:17,967 --> 00:37:18,867
Thank you, chef.
1099
00:37:18,867 --> 00:37:20,467
Taking the effort to just
1100
00:37:20,467 --> 00:37:23,066
hollow out the pineapple
and serve it in the pineapple,
1101
00:37:23,066 --> 00:37:25,166
I think that was a great idea.
1102
00:37:25,166 --> 00:37:28,567
Because of the fact that
you sauteed the rice
1103
00:37:28,567 --> 00:37:31,767
in the bacon fat, there is
no escaping the bacon.
1104
00:37:31,767 --> 00:37:32,800
Thank you, chef.
1105
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,100
The treatment of the bacon
on the top is elegant.
1106
00:37:35,100 --> 00:37:36,667
There's a lot of salt
that you added.
1107
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:38,734
It's, like, crispy
with the spices
1108
00:37:38,734 --> 00:37:40,634
that you encrusted
that bacon with.
1109
00:37:40,634 --> 00:37:42,066
I think that it added heat.
1110
00:37:42,066 --> 00:37:43,000
[Maneet]
I do think that the pineapple
1111
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,667
could have been used
in an additional way,
1112
00:37:45,667 --> 00:37:47,233
maybe a slaw
1113
00:37:47,233 --> 00:37:49,934
or something right on top,
1114
00:37:49,934 --> 00:37:53,600
uh, because the pineapple
does get lost in the rice.
1115
00:37:54,433 --> 00:37:56,367
Not to be outdone,
Chef Arturo.
1116
00:37:56,367 --> 00:37:58,867
For today's
swine dining challenge,
1117
00:37:58,867 --> 00:38:01,266
I've made a bacon gnocchi
from scratch.
1118
00:38:01,266 --> 00:38:02,667
Bacon inside there.
1119
00:38:02,667 --> 00:38:04,166
On the bottom of the plate
1120
00:38:04,166 --> 00:38:06,433
is gonna be the saute of crab
1121
00:38:06,433 --> 00:38:08,767
that also has bacon
incorporated into it.
1122
00:38:08,767 --> 00:38:10,367
After pitting the plums,
1123
00:38:10,367 --> 00:38:12,567
I made an agrodolce with it.
1124
00:38:12,567 --> 00:38:15,433
Canned plums is tough,
but what a pity.
1125
00:38:15,433 --> 00:38:16,900
[all laughing]
1126
00:38:17,567 --> 00:38:19,233
Have you used
instant mashed potatoes
1127
00:38:19,233 --> 00:38:20,767
-to make gnocchi before?
-[Arturo] I haven't.
1128
00:38:20,767 --> 00:38:22,533
Is that a Joe Sasto 101?
1129
00:38:22,533 --> 00:38:24,367
I have never seen it done
1130
00:38:24,367 --> 00:38:26,533
with instant
mashed potatoes before,
1131
00:38:26,533 --> 00:38:28,567
-but, I mean, it works.
-Thank you so much.
1132
00:38:28,567 --> 00:38:29,567
The way that you
worked the bacon
1133
00:38:29,567 --> 00:38:32,233
and those little crispy bits
into every little
1134
00:38:32,233 --> 00:38:34,166
potato pillow parcel,
1135
00:38:34,166 --> 00:38:36,567
it's such a fun little bite.
1136
00:38:36,567 --> 00:38:39,266
[Maneet]
Making gnocchi from scratch
1137
00:38:39,266 --> 00:38:41,266
in a 30-minute round is
1138
00:38:41,266 --> 00:38:42,934
absolutely ambitious.
1139
00:38:42,934 --> 00:38:44,734
And that ambition, at times,
1140
00:38:44,734 --> 00:38:46,467
-does not pay off.
-Okay.
1141
00:38:46,467 --> 00:38:47,900
In your case, it did.
1142
00:38:48,367 --> 00:38:49,400
Whoa.
1143
00:38:50,133 --> 00:38:51,967
Whoa, Troy Johnson drop.
1144
00:38:51,967 --> 00:38:53,467
[mimicking Troy] You think
it was a good idea?
1145
00:38:53,467 --> 00:38:54,467
Well, it was.
1146
00:38:54,467 --> 00:38:56,100
[chuckles]
1147
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,467
[Maneet] The canned plum
tomato sauce was fighting it.
1148
00:38:58,467 --> 00:39:01,166
The sweetness
contradicts the savoriness.
1149
00:39:01,166 --> 00:39:02,166
I got you.
1150
00:39:02,166 --> 00:39:04,867
You have absolutely nailed
1151
00:39:04,867 --> 00:39:07,567
fine dining
in the presentation,
1152
00:39:07,567 --> 00:39:09,467
but what I'm missing
is texture.
1153
00:39:09,467 --> 00:39:11,867
I'm missing
that little bit of crunch.
1154
00:39:12,667 --> 00:39:14,166
Thank you very much, judges.
1155
00:39:14,166 --> 00:39:15,266
Well done.
1156
00:39:15,266 --> 00:39:17,333
A lot to digest
1157
00:39:17,333 --> 00:39:18,266
for the judges.
1158
00:39:18,266 --> 00:39:19,767
We're gonna send you
back to the kitchens.
1159
00:39:19,767 --> 00:39:21,467
We will have
some deliberation.
1160
00:39:21,467 --> 00:39:23,467
Somebody's gonna
shop Flavortown
1161
00:39:23,467 --> 00:39:25,767
for up to 20,000 bucks.
1162
00:39:25,767 --> 00:39:26,967
Great job, chefs.
See you in a bit. Thank you.
1163
00:39:28,567 --> 00:39:29,934
Who is it between?
1164
00:39:29,934 --> 00:39:32,467
-You're gonna say
Barbie and Arturo.
-Yeah.
1165
00:39:32,467 --> 00:39:34,667
I thought Barbie's was
one of the best things
I've eaten here.
1166
00:39:34,667 --> 00:39:36,133
They really brought the bacon.
1167
00:39:36,133 --> 00:39:37,567
I thought that Justin's
1168
00:39:37,567 --> 00:39:40,433
was the best use of the bacon
1169
00:39:40,433 --> 00:39:41,934
and the fruit together.
1170
00:39:41,934 --> 00:39:44,133
[Maneet] Arturo is
at a different level.
1171
00:39:44,133 --> 00:39:46,333
I mean, gnocchi? Come on.
1172
00:39:46,333 --> 00:39:48,133
I think there's a case
for all of them.
1173
00:39:48,133 --> 00:39:50,133
-That's a tough one.
-It's a tough one.
1174
00:39:50,133 --> 00:39:51,033
-[Damaris] It's a tough one.
-[Joe] Tough one.
1175
00:39:55,467 --> 00:39:58,266
I have to say,
you did an excellent job.
1176
00:39:58,266 --> 00:39:59,300
-[exhales]
-[Guy] So,
1177
00:39:59,934 --> 00:40:01,000
without further ado,
1178
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,467
the winner of Bad to the Bacon
1179
00:40:04,834 --> 00:40:06,100
and the chance
1180
00:40:06,100 --> 00:40:08,367
at up to $20,000 goes to...
1181
00:40:13,467 --> 00:40:14,567
Chef Barbie.
1182
00:40:14,934 --> 00:40:15,934
Well done.
1183
00:40:17,233 --> 00:40:19,667
-[Barbie] Thank you.
-Chef Justin, Chef Arturo,
1184
00:40:19,667 --> 00:40:21,834
you are real
bacon aficionados.
1185
00:40:21,834 --> 00:40:22,867
It was great to have you.
1186
00:40:22,867 --> 00:40:23,934
-Thank you.
-Thank you, chef.
1187
00:40:23,934 --> 00:40:25,000
I put a lot of my heart
1188
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,066
on that plate,
and that's something
1189
00:40:26,066 --> 00:40:27,100
that I'm really proud of.
1190
00:40:27,100 --> 00:40:29,166
-[Guy] Awesome, man.
-[Justin] Coming this far
1191
00:40:29,166 --> 00:40:30,834
and representing my brand,
1192
00:40:30,834 --> 00:40:32,767
representing my passion
for cooking,
1193
00:40:32,767 --> 00:40:35,600
and my brother Derek, this has
been an amazing experience.
1194
00:40:37,467 --> 00:40:38,767
You're born in Vietnam.
1195
00:40:38,767 --> 00:40:40,867
You come to Boise.
You meet your husband.
1196
00:40:40,867 --> 00:40:42,100
-[mouthing] Yup.
-You have a food truck.
1197
00:40:42,100 --> 00:40:43,867
-Yup.
-Well, I can assure you,
no one's gonna be showing up
1198
00:40:43,867 --> 00:40:46,367
looking for any bacon
from you now at all.
1199
00:40:46,367 --> 00:40:48,367
It wasn't a simple battle,
but you took
1200
00:40:48,367 --> 00:40:50,533
all three of them down,
and you are the champ.
Congratulations.
1201
00:40:50,533 --> 00:40:51,867
-Thank you.
-Well done!
1202
00:40:54,834 --> 00:40:55,867
We got a couple different ways
1203
00:40:55,867 --> 00:40:57,567
that you can win
up to 20,000 bucks.
1204
00:40:57,567 --> 00:40:59,567
-You can go on
the shopping spree...
-Okay.
1205
00:40:59,567 --> 00:41:01,000
...in which I give you
two minutes
1206
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,734
to grab five items
that satisfy
1207
00:41:02,734 --> 00:41:05,266
the trivia clues on the card.
1208
00:41:05,266 --> 00:41:06,667
Every correct item
that you get
1209
00:41:06,667 --> 00:41:08,867
and you put in the cart,
you're gonna get 4,000 bucks.
1210
00:41:08,867 --> 00:41:10,867
-Okay.
-[Guy] Or
1211
00:41:10,867 --> 00:41:12,700
you could go for the check
1212
00:41:13,066 --> 00:41:14,767
that is behind the door.
1213
00:41:14,767 --> 00:41:16,667
That check is gonna be
at a value of
1214
00:41:16,667 --> 00:41:18,100
anywhere between
1215
00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:20,400
$13,000
1216
00:41:20,734 --> 00:41:22,467
and $20,000.
1217
00:41:25,166 --> 00:41:26,734
I've had
two panic attacks today.
1218
00:41:26,734 --> 00:41:27,967
I'll take that check.
1219
00:41:27,967 --> 00:41:30,600
Let's give it up.
Let's see that check.
Drum roll, please.
1220
00:41:33,266 --> 00:41:36,634
-[Guy] $15,950!
-[Barbie] Yay!
1221
00:41:36,634 --> 00:41:38,166
I cannot believe
1222
00:41:38,166 --> 00:41:39,467
I just won.
1223
00:41:39,467 --> 00:41:42,433
To be a Vietnamese woman
and coming on the show
1224
00:41:42,433 --> 00:41:44,066
and being able to win
1225
00:41:44,066 --> 00:41:46,433
against three
incredible chefs,
1226
00:41:46,433 --> 00:41:48,767
I am so proud.
1227
00:41:48,767 --> 00:41:50,266
[Guy] With your name on it
and everything.
1228
00:41:50,266 --> 00:41:51,433
Next time you're in Boise,
1229
00:41:51,433 --> 00:41:52,834
you gotta come
and check it out.
1230
00:41:52,834 --> 00:41:54,367
She has got the game going on,
1231
00:41:54,367 --> 00:41:55,967
and she knows
a thing or two about bacon.
1232
00:41:55,967 --> 00:41:58,266
See you next time on
Guy's Grocery Games. Adios.
1233
00:41:58,266 --> 00:42:00,066
[all whooping and cheering]
