1
00:00:01,534 --> 00:00:02,935
[Guy] For the first time ever,
Flavortown Market is making deliveries
2
00:00:02,969 --> 00:00:06,638
to the doorsteps of all-star
chefs across America.
3
00:00:06,673 --> 00:00:09,375
But with my family pack
in the boxes,
4
00:00:09,409 --> 00:00:10,509
you never know
what you're going to get.
5
00:00:10,543 --> 00:00:12,511
Oh, no. What is this?
6
00:00:12,545 --> 00:00:13,979
[cheering]
7
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:17,416
Tonight these unsuspecting all-star
chefs are about to feel the burn.
8
00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:18,517
That's the freezer burn, son.
9
00:00:18,551 --> 00:00:20,252
Oh, no, frozen food.
10
00:00:20,286 --> 00:00:26,492
[Guy] They'll have to turn boxes full of
frozen food into thaw-inspiring dishes.
11
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:27,493
Real cool, Guy.
12
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:28,994
I can't cook with this stuff.
13
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:31,663
Or they might just find
themselves out in the cold.
14
00:00:31,698 --> 00:00:33,866
I don't know
what to do with fish sticks.
15
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,569
It's a "Frozen Fiasco" right
now on Triple G: Delivery.
16
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:39,038
- "Out in the cold"?
- I know, right?
17
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:41,473
[honking]
18
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:42,875
All right, Hunter, my son,
19
00:00:42,909 --> 00:00:47,679
are you ready to see if our chefs
knows really good, chilly recipes?
20
00:00:47,714 --> 00:00:49,548
I've got some goose bumps
just thinking about it.
21
00:00:49,582 --> 00:00:50,682
Oh, I know, I know.
22
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:54,386
First up, fiercely competitive
chef and cookbook author,
23
00:00:54,421 --> 00:00:56,555
you also know him as
Ally's husband.
24
00:00:56,589 --> 00:00:58,424
The one and only, Chef Jet Tila.
25
00:00:58,458 --> 00:00:59,358
Poor Jet.
26
00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:00,959
I am Jet Tila.
27
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:03,595
I've been through the wringer
with Triple G from all sides.
28
00:01:04,664 --> 00:01:06,799
There's no way to really
prepare for this game
29
00:01:06,833 --> 00:01:09,635
even though I've got, like, the
most teched out kitchen there is.
30
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:14,273
I kind of crawl into it
like a robot mech suit
31
00:01:14,307 --> 00:01:15,674
and we become one to destroy.
32
00:01:15,708 --> 00:01:17,109
- How are you, brother?
- Confident.
33
00:01:17,143 --> 00:01:23,549
Next, executive chef and culinary
rock star, Chef Michael Voltaggio.
34
00:01:23,583 --> 00:01:25,584
[Michael] I have competed
in Flavortown.
35
00:01:25,618 --> 00:01:27,986
I have a pretty good record on
Triple G: Delivery as of right now.
36
00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:29,955
It's important to me
37
00:01:29,989 --> 00:01:32,691
that I have all the same toys at
home that I have in the restaurant.
38
00:01:32,725 --> 00:01:34,893
A lot of people would be
stoked to have
39
00:01:34,928 --> 00:01:37,463
a guy coming in live
through their kitchen...
40
00:01:37,497 --> 00:01:38,931
[laughing]
41
00:01:38,965 --> 00:01:40,732
...but in this
particular circumstance,
42
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,367
it's also a bit of a challenge.
43
00:01:43,303 --> 00:01:44,636
- What's up, bro?
- Let's go.
44
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:47,606
And finally, Food Network star
and beloved Triple G judge
45
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,842
competing on Triple G: Delivery.
46
00:01:49,876 --> 00:01:55,514
For the very wise one and only
Spice Queen Chef Aarti Sequeira.
47
00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:56,915
Thank you.
48
00:01:57,784 --> 00:01:59,618
[Aarti] My two worlds
are colliding.
49
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:03,722
Cooking at home.
Flavortown in my home.
50
00:02:03,756 --> 00:02:06,725
It's like, it hurts my brain
to think about it
51
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:10,462
but I have all the things
that I think that rescue
52
00:02:10,497 --> 00:02:13,098
anything that Guy's
got in that box for me.
53
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:14,233
[grunting]
54
00:02:14,267 --> 00:02:15,834
Who understands Guy's brain?
55
00:02:15,869 --> 00:02:17,369
- How are you, Aarti?
- Welcome, Aarti.
56
00:02:17,403 --> 00:02:18,403
So excited.
57
00:02:18,438 --> 00:02:21,073
Welcome to ThunderDome, Aarti.
58
00:02:21,107 --> 00:02:23,108
[laughing]
59
00:02:23,143 --> 00:02:24,109
Can't wait.
60
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:26,378
Welcome chefs
to Triple G: Delivery.
61
00:02:26,412 --> 00:02:28,480
It's Flavortown's
best delivery service
62
00:02:28,515 --> 00:02:30,349
and home to
the world's hardest game.
63
00:02:30,383 --> 00:02:32,017
- Yes!
- Hunter, give them the scoop.
64
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:36,455
We've sent you two of Flavortown's
coolest boxes of ingredients.
65
00:02:36,489 --> 00:02:38,624
- Cool. Cool.
- Very cool.
66
00:02:38,658 --> 00:02:42,561
Our three-judge panel is standing
by to score each of your dishes
67
00:02:42,595 --> 00:02:45,664
based on gameplay,
creativity and plating,
68
00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:47,299
and, most importantly,
69
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:49,701
your description of their taste.
70
00:02:49,736 --> 00:02:51,870
Best of all, the chef with
the highest combined score
71
00:02:51,905 --> 00:02:57,643
after both rounds, will get a
shot at winning up to $20,000.
72
00:02:57,677 --> 00:03:01,313
Why don't we start off by
making something everyone loves?
73
00:03:02,282 --> 00:03:03,282
A hot lunch.
74
00:03:03,316 --> 00:03:04,550
I mean,
that's easy peasy, right?
75
00:03:04,584 --> 00:03:05,484
- Totally. Yeah.
- Simple.
76
00:03:05,518 --> 00:03:06,919
Now, to make it
a little more challenging,
77
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:11,823
we filled your Game 1 box with
things typically served just like dinner.
78
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:12,891
[Hunter] Yeah.
79
00:03:12,926 --> 00:03:14,626
So, basically, you'll be
flipping a bunch of these
80
00:03:14,661 --> 00:03:16,762
cool dinner items
into a hot lunch.
81
00:03:17,463 --> 00:03:19,364
- Got it? Hunter.
- Right, 100%.
82
00:03:19,399 --> 00:03:20,098
All right, bring it out.
83
00:03:20,633 --> 00:03:21,767
It's bigger than I am.
84
00:03:21,801 --> 00:03:23,735
Definitely
a little lighter than I like.
85
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:26,104
Is it light?
This is my first time.
86
00:03:26,139 --> 00:03:27,272
Oh, ho!
87
00:03:28,775 --> 00:03:30,909
I don't... I'm never
gonna have this anyway.
88
00:03:30,944 --> 00:03:33,679
Aarti, this is what you're
gonna get, just so you know.
89
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:35,747
Are you trash talking already?
90
00:03:35,782 --> 00:03:40,452
Is Jet already talking smack that
Aarti is getting the Package of Pain.
91
00:03:40,486 --> 00:03:42,020
I gotta get ahead.
92
00:03:42,555 --> 00:03:44,623
Oh, no, frozen food.
93
00:03:44,657 --> 00:03:48,360
Oh, no. What is this?
I can't cook with this stuff.
94
00:03:49,262 --> 00:03:51,597
Cold dinners. Real cool, Guy.
95
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:52,864
Hold up. Hold up, Hunter...
96
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:56,735
I said send them some really
cool ingredients.
97
00:03:56,769 --> 00:03:59,571
Right, you said, you said
send them cool ingredients.
98
00:03:59,606 --> 00:04:02,608
- So I went...
- Cool ingredients, not cold, frozen ingredients.
99
00:04:02,642 --> 00:04:04,509
...to the freezer section
and got them this.
100
00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:06,378
[laughing] This is wrong.
101
00:04:06,412 --> 00:04:07,579
This is terrible.
102
00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:08,714
I apologize.
103
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:12,117
Evidently, this competition
wasn't well thought out.
104
00:04:12,151 --> 00:04:13,085
Mmm.
105
00:04:13,119 --> 00:04:13,952
Was it?
106
00:04:14,487 --> 00:04:15,520
Was it well thought out?
107
00:04:15,555 --> 00:04:17,422
It's really a "Frozen Fiasco."
108
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:19,324
It is a fiasco.
109
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:20,525
What is this nonsense?
110
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,628
Chicken nugget things.
111
00:04:22,662 --> 00:04:24,363
- Pizza.
- More pizza.
112
00:04:24,397 --> 00:04:26,798
Little Salisbury steak dinner.
113
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:28,500
Sesame chicken.
114
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:31,136
[Jet] Oh, Texas toast.
All right.
115
00:04:31,170 --> 00:04:34,773
Yeah, everything is frozen,
and everything's already a meal.
116
00:04:34,807 --> 00:04:35,807
You must transform
the ingredients
117
00:04:35,842 --> 00:04:38,377
in these frozen dinners
into a hot lunch.
118
00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:39,611
Anyhow, I wonder, what's this?
119
00:04:39,646 --> 00:04:44,283
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's an Ice Dice Baby.
120
00:04:44,317 --> 00:04:46,451
Look at that.
121
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,354
Oh, it's like ice.
I get it. There's ice in here.
122
00:04:49,389 --> 00:04:50,800
Oh, okay. Uh-uh, it's cold.
123
00:04:50,824 --> 00:04:53,859
How about we roll it
and whatever it lands on
124
00:04:53,893 --> 00:04:57,796
that's how many ingredients
you get to use out of your pantry.
125
00:04:57,830 --> 00:05:01,033
- Ah, that's nice.
- Your pantry, your fridge, your freezer. Okay?
126
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:02,034
Aarti?
127
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:07,072
- [laughs boisterously]
- [Guy] Six!
128
00:05:07,106 --> 00:05:08,206
Fantastic!
129
00:05:08,241 --> 00:05:09,975
Roll it, Jet.
130
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:13,211
Yeah! Six!
131
00:05:13,246 --> 00:05:14,246
Voltaggio.
132
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,114
Winner, winner, frozen dinner.
133
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:19,084
- Five.
- Five?
134
00:05:19,118 --> 00:05:20,552
[speaking Spanish]
135
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:24,523
[Guy in English] You guys can use
anything you want out of the frozen food
136
00:05:24,557 --> 00:05:26,591
and I will let you grab,
137
00:05:26,626 --> 00:05:30,662
Aarti, six items. Jet, six items
and Voltaggio's five items.
138
00:05:30,697 --> 00:05:32,431
The gift of giving.
Look at that.
139
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:34,399
Let's get after this hot lunch.
140
00:05:34,434 --> 00:05:36,468
As soon as I say
three, two, one, go!
141
00:05:36,502 --> 00:05:37,969
It's real time.
142
00:05:38,538 --> 00:05:39,671
This is terrible.
143
00:05:39,706 --> 00:05:42,274
Ahh, Jesus, take the wheel.
I don't know what I'm doing.
144
00:05:45,445 --> 00:05:47,646
[giggling] What is
this nonsense?
145
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,681
Guy's asking us to transform
146
00:05:49,716 --> 00:05:53,318
these frozen dinners
into a hot lunch,
147
00:05:53,353 --> 00:05:54,953
and all I can think is hot mess.
148
00:05:54,987 --> 00:05:58,490
Frozen things don't turn out
like real food all the time.
149
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:01,593
It's a tall order,
Guy and Hunter.
150
00:06:01,627 --> 00:06:02,794
- [Guy] Aarti.
- Yeah?
151
00:06:02,829 --> 00:06:03,929
What are you doing?
152
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:07,432
Think I'm going to do a
grilled cheese and tomato soup.
153
00:06:07,467 --> 00:06:08,667
Oh, tomato.
154
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:12,504
I'm using the Texas Toast as
a basis for my grilled cheese.
155
00:06:12,538 --> 00:06:14,773
The rice from this frozen
shrimp and rice ball
156
00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:17,709
I'm going to use that as a
thickener in my tomato soup.
157
00:06:17,744 --> 00:06:20,579
I only get six ingredients
from my kitchen...
158
00:06:20,613 --> 00:06:22,547
I definitely want some tomatoes.
159
00:06:22,582 --> 00:06:24,750
It definitely wants some
of this berbere seasoning.
160
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:29,688
It's ten spices in one.
It adds this warm flavor.
161
00:06:29,722 --> 00:06:30,655
Ginger.
162
00:06:30,690 --> 00:06:32,557
The ginger is going to add
that freshness.
163
00:06:32,592 --> 00:06:35,427
I'm going to do some arugula.
164
00:06:35,461 --> 00:06:38,130
Gonna add a little more cheese.
165
00:06:38,164 --> 00:06:40,766
I'm so glad that I have this
grated mozzarella cheese.
166
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,701
I'm gonna add that
to the Texas toast
167
00:06:42,735 --> 00:06:44,703
that already has a little
bit of cheese in there.
168
00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:47,439
I'm gonna use one of these
herbs. I'm not sure which one.
169
00:06:47,473 --> 00:06:50,375
[groaning] I hate frozen food.
170
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,877
All right,
let's start harvesting.
171
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:56,715
Frozen food is very difficult to
transform because things are precooked.
172
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:59,284
It's usually loaded
with a lot of salt.
173
00:06:59,318 --> 00:07:00,752
Oh, yeah,
look at all that jackpot.
174
00:07:00,787 --> 00:07:02,621
Look at all these veggies, man.
175
00:07:02,655 --> 00:07:05,323
So I'm cherry picking
ingredients.
176
00:07:05,358 --> 00:07:07,292
It's not all melting together.
177
00:07:07,326 --> 00:07:08,527
I see some chicken nuggets...
178
00:07:08,561 --> 00:07:11,696
I have nuggets. Harvest rice.
179
00:07:11,731 --> 00:07:15,534
I am going to cook orange
chicken with fried rice.
180
00:07:15,568 --> 00:07:17,502
Broccoli.
181
00:07:17,537 --> 00:07:19,004
All right, I'm getting...
I'm getting there.
182
00:07:19,038 --> 00:07:21,473
Six is the number
of fresh ingredients
183
00:07:21,507 --> 00:07:23,708
I get to pull
from my own fridge and pantry.
184
00:07:23,743 --> 00:07:25,744
I'm gonna use eggs
out of my fridge.
185
00:07:25,778 --> 00:07:28,447
I'm gonna pull scallions
out of my fridge.
186
00:07:28,481 --> 00:07:31,183
I'd want ginger. A little onion.
187
00:07:31,217 --> 00:07:32,584
I'll do a little lemon.
188
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:33,819
You know,
I've got to balance out
189
00:07:33,853 --> 00:07:36,488
all this frozen stuff
with some fresh stuff.
190
00:07:36,522 --> 00:07:40,158
So I'm going to go a
little bit of spinach as well.
191
00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:44,463
To me, lunch is usually
a sandwich of sorts.
192
00:07:44,497 --> 00:07:46,798
I'm a pretty busy guy.
Something on the go.
193
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:49,401
Nothing says hot lunch
like Philly cheesesteaks.
194
00:07:49,435 --> 00:07:50,469
I'm gonna go that route.
195
00:07:50,503 --> 00:07:52,270
One of these
is gonna be my bread.
196
00:07:53,339 --> 00:07:54,639
That's cute.
197
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:56,708
There's plenty of beef
and some of these bowls.
198
00:07:56,742 --> 00:08:00,445
I don't have any cheese
except for macaroni and cheese.
199
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,813
Not very much
macaroni and cheese.
200
00:08:01,848 --> 00:08:04,049
I'll have to stretch
that one out a little bit.
201
00:08:04,083 --> 00:08:06,351
It's about being able to go
through all these boxes
202
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:09,421
and utilizes many of them
as I possibly can
203
00:08:09,455 --> 00:08:12,457
because I want to really
play the game, you know.
204
00:08:12,492 --> 00:08:14,359
To go with
my Philly cheesesteak,
205
00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:15,827
I'm gonna make
a pizza Panzanella
206
00:08:15,862 --> 00:08:17,496
and then toss it
with some fresh greens
207
00:08:17,530 --> 00:08:19,531
to get some
fresh veggies onto the plate.
208
00:08:19,565 --> 00:08:22,133
My five items for my pantry
are tomatoes,
209
00:08:23,236 --> 00:08:26,605
arugula, onions,
210
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:29,841
cheddar cheese, and heavy cream.
211
00:08:29,876 --> 00:08:33,411
Frozen dinners like this I don't
think I've eaten since my childhood.
212
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:35,280
Our all-star chefs
are trying to turn
213
00:08:35,314 --> 00:08:37,516
frozen dinners into a hot lunch.
214
00:08:37,550 --> 00:08:39,317
Things are definitely
heating up,
215
00:08:39,352 --> 00:08:40,619
but will they heat up in time?
216
00:08:40,653 --> 00:08:42,120
Find out when we return.
217
00:08:43,356 --> 00:08:44,422
[honking]
218
00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:46,892
[honking]
219
00:08:46,926 --> 00:08:50,128
All right, Hunter, let's
meet the culinary brain trust
220
00:08:50,162 --> 00:08:52,764
that will be judging
today's frozen food face off.
221
00:08:52,798 --> 00:08:54,866
First ever tournament
champion winner,
222
00:08:54,901 --> 00:08:58,503
whose Playa Provisions restaurant
makes its very own ice cream.
223
00:08:58,538 --> 00:08:59,804
I can only imagine the flavors.
224
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:03,208
The one and only BW,
Chef Brooke Williamson.
225
00:09:03,242 --> 00:09:04,709
Hi, guys. [kisses]
226
00:09:04,744 --> 00:09:07,679
Acclaimed executive chef,
avid snowboarder.
227
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:08,847
Oh, the ninja.
228
00:09:08,881 --> 00:09:12,350
Wait till you see this one
cook but she's judging today.
229
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:15,420
The one and only,
Chef Nyesha Harrington.
230
00:09:15,454 --> 00:09:17,689
And food critic,
whose culinary fashion
231
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:21,560
is taking him to nearly 100
countries, including Iceland.
232
00:09:21,594 --> 00:09:23,328
Simon Majumdar.
233
00:09:23,362 --> 00:09:24,596
Hi, Guy, Good to see you.
234
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:28,333
Did you guys grow up
getting to have frozen dinners?
235
00:09:28,367 --> 00:09:29,601
Did you get that
when you were kid?
236
00:09:29,635 --> 00:09:31,570
Not at all. This would
be really hard for me.
237
00:09:31,604 --> 00:09:33,605
I definitely have
eaten fish sticks
238
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:36,241
and had a few frozen dinners
in my childhood.
239
00:09:36,275 --> 00:09:37,776
- Fish sticks.
- [laughing]
240
00:09:37,810 --> 00:09:39,511
It's Aarti's
first time competing.
241
00:09:39,545 --> 00:09:40,845
I'm going for it, buddy.
242
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,548
I do not want that Package of
Pain. Let me tell you that much.
243
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:44,583
For my hot lunch,
244
00:09:44,617 --> 00:09:47,452
I'm thinking a grilled cheese
and tomato soup.
245
00:09:47,486 --> 00:09:48,820
Classic.
246
00:09:49,622 --> 00:09:50,755
When you think about a hot lunch
247
00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:52,557
I want something
that feels warming
248
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:54,059
and sounds warming, too.
249
00:09:54,093 --> 00:09:59,130
When you say ginger, you know
that it's going to be kind of a spicy soup.
250
00:09:59,165 --> 00:10:04,336
The ginger is going to inject
the soup with fresh flavor.
251
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:05,937
Where's my time?
I got 20 minutes.
252
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:11,643
Okay, so I'm gonna try to get that
red sauce in there 'cause that's umami.
253
00:10:11,677 --> 00:10:12,811
There's the little veggies.
254
00:10:12,845 --> 00:10:15,747
It's giving me a nice,
beautiful base of flavor.
255
00:10:15,781 --> 00:10:17,482
Already smells so much better.
256
00:10:17,516 --> 00:10:19,985
And then the rice
will thicken it, too.
257
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:21,419
So that will give it
that sense of like,
258
00:10:21,454 --> 00:10:23,989
"Oh, this has been cooking
for a wicked long time."
259
00:10:24,023 --> 00:10:26,424
No, it hasn't.
I made it in 15 minutes.
260
00:10:26,459 --> 00:10:28,426
Okay, tomatoes go in.
261
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:29,527
It's time to add the spice.
262
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:30,829
I love berbere.
263
00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:32,330
It's spicy.
264
00:10:32,365 --> 00:10:36,201
Has a lot of fenugreek in it, so it
gives you some of that maple flavor.
265
00:10:36,235 --> 00:10:37,636
Oh, my God. Ah, so good.
266
00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:39,671
Chef Jet,
what are you making us?
267
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:42,040
I'm gonna do an orange chicken
over fried rice.
268
00:10:42,074 --> 00:10:46,411
Anyone who says they don't crave
orange chicken for lunch is a liar.
269
00:10:46,445 --> 00:10:48,380
Is an absolute liar.
270
00:10:48,414 --> 00:10:49,681
So, orange sauce...
271
00:10:49,715 --> 00:10:53,184
Base is always
going to be sugar.
272
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:57,756
My orange chicken sauce
consists of sugar, chili flakes,
273
00:10:58,391 --> 00:11:01,326
red wine vinegar, paprika.
274
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,694
The secret orange chicken is
275
00:11:02,728 --> 00:11:05,630
there doesn't need to be
orange juice or orange product.
276
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:09,501
We're detecting that acidity
and the fruitiness from vinegar,
277
00:11:09,535 --> 00:11:10,468
believe it or not.
278
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:12,404
So, hey, that's one to grow on.
279
00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:13,405
You're welcome.
280
00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:15,373
So let's get the nuggets in.
281
00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:18,109
We'll set it for air fry.
282
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:21,746
Michael Voltaggio, what ingredients
are you using from your pantry, good sir?
283
00:11:21,781 --> 00:11:23,948
Hunter, who invited you
to this party?
284
00:11:23,983 --> 00:11:27,619
[whooping] I get enough
hard time from your dad, man.
285
00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:29,220
That was very sassy.
286
00:11:29,255 --> 00:11:34,192
It's weird because I feel like
we just rolled a four on your dice.
287
00:11:34,226 --> 00:11:35,493
- [Jet laughing]
- Oh, no.
288
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:38,596
- Wow. My Lord.
- Do not take any smack from him.
289
00:11:38,631 --> 00:11:40,732
I have known Hunter
since he was in college.
290
00:11:40,766 --> 00:11:42,567
I think it's great
that they're working together.
291
00:11:42,601 --> 00:11:44,369
But just because
you're Guy's son
292
00:11:44,403 --> 00:11:45,503
doesn't mean
I can't hate you a little.
293
00:11:45,538 --> 00:11:46,971
Hunter.
294
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:48,406
I love you, buddy.
295
00:11:48,441 --> 00:11:49,641
I love you, too.
296
00:11:49,675 --> 00:11:51,710
So I'm starting
with a Philly cheesesteak.
297
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:55,580
I'm using the steak from two boxes
to get my Philly cheesesteak meat.
298
00:11:55,614 --> 00:11:57,449
Like this one's
in a nonstick pan
299
00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:59,718
so that the sauce that's
in there will bleed out.
300
00:11:59,752 --> 00:12:01,886
So I can separate the sauce
from the meat.
301
00:12:01,921 --> 00:12:04,589
To me, Philly cheesesteak
is all about the cheese sauce.
302
00:12:04,623 --> 00:12:09,761
My cheese sauce is macaroni
and cheese cooked in heavy cream,
303
00:12:09,795 --> 00:12:12,864
so you end up with like
that processed cheese sauce
304
00:12:12,898 --> 00:12:14,966
that you would get
on a Philly cheesesteak.
305
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,768
Add some fresh cheddar cheese
and some heavy cream.
306
00:12:16,802 --> 00:12:21,406
It should taste like melted,
emulsified, creamy cheese.
307
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,974
[whirring]
308
00:12:25,511 --> 00:12:27,412
My goal with these ingredients
309
00:12:27,446 --> 00:12:30,248
are to repurpose them in a way
that you can't recognize him.
310
00:12:30,282 --> 00:12:31,616
We got that drip.
311
00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:35,086
Ten and a half minutes, chefs.
Ten and a half to go.
312
00:12:35,121 --> 00:12:36,821
[Guy] Nyesha, you don't know
what goes on here,
313
00:12:36,856 --> 00:12:41,893
but one of these chefs is going
to win the Envelope of Opportunity,
314
00:12:41,927 --> 00:12:45,563
and one of the chefs is going
to get the Package of Pain.
315
00:12:45,598 --> 00:12:48,333
I'm scared. [laughing]
316
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:49,801
- Aarti.
- Hi, guys.
317
00:12:49,835 --> 00:12:53,805
- How's it going?
- Oh, you know, it's just a walk in the park. [giggles]
318
00:12:53,839 --> 00:12:56,508
- What parks do you walk in?
- [laughing] I know.
319
00:12:56,542 --> 00:12:59,878
Frozen parks. I'm trying to
get some freshness in here
320
00:12:59,912 --> 00:13:01,846
because there's just
so much sodium going on.
321
00:13:01,881 --> 00:13:07,886
I'm doing a grilled cheese and I'm
going to throw some arugula in there.
322
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,722
Dude, arugula
is like chef catnip.
323
00:13:10,756 --> 00:13:13,691
So I'm hoping that it will get
the judges is excited.
324
00:13:13,726 --> 00:13:16,027
It sounds delicious, Aarti.
325
00:13:16,061 --> 00:13:18,530
Isn't there's a lot of fraternizing
with this one contestant?
326
00:13:18,564 --> 00:13:21,299
I feel like there's a little
favoritism happening.
327
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:22,700
Yeah. How does that feel, Jet?
328
00:13:22,735 --> 00:13:25,236
[Jet] Checking on
our rice situation.
329
00:13:25,271 --> 00:13:26,504
Okay, that's good enough.
330
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:28,873
So I need a thoughtfully
harvest this rice out
331
00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:31,643
so it doesn't take on that
red sauce with it,
332
00:13:31,677 --> 00:13:34,712
'cause I need very clean
rice for the fried rice.
333
00:13:34,747 --> 00:13:38,183
So into this hot pan,
I'm going to add oil...
334
00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:40,451
Onions in the pan.
335
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:41,953
I add my spinach.
336
00:13:42,588 --> 00:13:44,656
I'm going to whisk the eggs.
337
00:13:44,690 --> 00:13:46,791
Always add rice to wet eggs
338
00:13:46,826 --> 00:13:49,794
because it helps make it fluffy
and keeps sticking to the pan.
339
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:55,166
That's what I'm talking about.
Those nuggets are ready to go.
340
00:13:56,802 --> 00:14:00,038
And then I bring it together
with my orange chicken sauce.
341
00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:05,543
I'm gonna get this down to a nice,
thick glaze and then I'm gonna plate.
342
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:07,979
[Michael] This Texas toast
is gonna add more cheese.
343
00:14:08,013 --> 00:14:11,749
Philly cheesesteak is usually
on, like a sort of hoagie style roll.
344
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:13,651
But I'm going to use
the Texas toast
345
00:14:13,686 --> 00:14:14,819
because there's cheese
inside of that as well.
346
00:14:14,854 --> 00:14:17,589
So I'm gonna actually
panini this together.
347
00:14:17,623 --> 00:14:19,057
Add more cheese
to my Philly cheese.
348
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:22,393
My toast is on the panini press.
349
00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:24,195
My steak is cooked
with the onions.
350
00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:25,363
I'm happy with that.
351
00:14:25,397 --> 00:14:26,231
The sauce is ready.
352
00:14:26,265 --> 00:14:27,599
Now it's time to make
the Panzanella.
353
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:30,568
I know it's a hot lunch, but I
think all the richness of this food
354
00:14:30,603 --> 00:14:32,670
needs like a salad to, like,
break it up a little bit.
355
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:34,539
So the French bread pizza
356
00:14:34,573 --> 00:14:37,742
I'm just slicing it, tossing it in
olive oil and toasting in the oven
357
00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:39,510
to make pizza crouton,
358
00:14:39,545 --> 00:14:42,914
That will then be the base
of my pizza Panzanella salad.
359
00:14:42,948 --> 00:14:47,652
You could see all that cheese and tomato
is gonna add flavor to the Panzanella,
360
00:14:47,686 --> 00:14:49,520
and I'll toss this
with some fresh greens
361
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,623
and serve this as like
a lunch salad on the side.
362
00:14:51,657 --> 00:14:53,491
Chefs, three minutes.
363
00:14:53,525 --> 00:14:55,393
Start plating soon.
364
00:14:55,427 --> 00:14:58,963
Soup look silky and thick
and beautiful.
365
00:14:58,998 --> 00:15:02,834
[Aarti] To serve, I pour
my ginger berbere tomato soup
366
00:15:02,868 --> 00:15:07,071
into these
pretty little blue bowls.
367
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:09,641
A little cilantro. Now this
is both, for color and flavor.
368
00:15:09,675 --> 00:15:11,376
Grilled cheese is looking good.
369
00:15:11,410 --> 00:15:13,511
Plate up my grilled cheese
slices in half.
370
00:15:13,545 --> 00:15:16,748
I look at my hot lunch and
I feel like this is safe.
371
00:15:16,782 --> 00:15:19,751
Like it's fine,
but it's not my best work.
372
00:15:19,785 --> 00:15:23,321
Ninety second chefs,
90 seconds to go.
373
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:25,590
[Jet] I bundle that rice up
to the middle of the plate.
374
00:15:25,624 --> 00:15:28,593
I layer the orange chicken
nuggets and the vegetables in.
375
00:15:28,627 --> 00:15:30,495
I like how fresh
these vegetable look.
376
00:15:30,529 --> 00:15:31,396
They were frozen at one point.
377
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:32,931
Come on now.
378
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:36,567
And then I cut up some scallions
for fancy, and I lay it all on top.
379
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:38,369
I mean, it should be
a complete experience,
380
00:15:38,404 --> 00:15:40,571
and I think I've nailed it here.
381
00:15:40,606 --> 00:15:43,641
I've got a cheesy center
for my Philly cheesesteak.
382
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:46,411
So I'm open facing
the Texas toast,
383
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:48,379
that again exposed
that cheesy center.
384
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:52,216
I'm stacking the meat on top on
one side of it. The meet the onions.
385
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:55,286
Throw a little Panzanella
salad on there and stack it all up.
386
00:15:56,388 --> 00:16:01,592
[Guy] Five, four,
three, two, one.
387
00:16:01,627 --> 00:16:03,761
Chefs, that's it. Stop working.
388
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:06,664
[sighing in relief]
389
00:16:06,699 --> 00:16:08,833
- [judges clapping]
- Great job.
390
00:16:08,867 --> 00:16:12,403
Let's take it over the judging
and, chefs, get ready to present.
391
00:16:14,106 --> 00:16:15,273
[honking]
392
00:16:16,575 --> 00:16:17,842
[honking]
393
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:19,711
All right, judges. Here we are.
394
00:16:19,745 --> 00:16:23,514
Game 1 of Triple G: Delivery.
"Frozen Fiasco."
395
00:16:23,549 --> 00:16:27,518
[Guy] Chefs had to flip
frozen dinners into a hot lunch.
396
00:16:27,553 --> 00:16:30,188
We let them roll the Ice Dice
to determine,
397
00:16:30,222 --> 00:16:31,189
do it for me over time.
398
00:16:31,223 --> 00:16:32,090
[clicks tongue]
399
00:16:32,124 --> 00:16:32,824
Ice Dice.
400
00:16:32,858 --> 00:16:34,392
Oh, I know what you want to do.
401
00:16:34,426 --> 00:16:35,760
Ice Dice Baby.
402
00:16:35,794 --> 00:16:37,495
- And it came with the dance.
- Yes, it did.
403
00:16:37,529 --> 00:16:39,097
Lucky we let them roll
the Ice Dice Baby
404
00:16:39,131 --> 00:16:43,368
to determine how many fresh ingredients
they could grab from their own pantry.
405
00:16:43,402 --> 00:16:45,803
Chef Aarti, what do you got?
406
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,473
So, guys, I made you
a very classic hot lunch.
407
00:16:48,507 --> 00:16:50,675
I made you a grilled cheese
and tomato soup,
408
00:16:50,709 --> 00:16:51,943
but of course
I made it with a twist.
409
00:16:51,977 --> 00:16:55,613
The tomato soup has some
warm flavors from some berbere.
410
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:58,649
I use the
shrimp salsa roja bowl,
411
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:02,720
and I gleaned these beautiful
sweet vegetables from there
412
00:17:02,755 --> 00:17:05,456
to make almost like
a sofrito for this.
413
00:17:05,491 --> 00:17:06,824
Oh, and I use the rice
to thicken the soup.
414
00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:10,528
And then this is a grilled cheese
using Texas toast dunkage.
415
00:17:10,562 --> 00:17:12,563
Look at how nice
and thick that soup is.
416
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:14,065
[crunching]
417
00:17:14,933 --> 00:17:15,800
Hear that crunch?
418
00:17:15,834 --> 00:17:20,038
This to me
is a great classic hot lunch.
419
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:21,973
[crunching]
420
00:17:22,007 --> 00:17:24,842
Aarti, Dunkage Queen.
Great to see you again.
421
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:27,712
To me, this definitely
looks like a hot lunch.
422
00:17:27,746 --> 00:17:30,815
I think your use of the
frozen ingredients was terrific.
423
00:17:30,849 --> 00:17:32,417
I really like the idea
of using that rice,
424
00:17:32,451 --> 00:17:34,752
thicken it as you would do
a seafood bisque.
425
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:36,554
I think that was really,
really smart.
426
00:17:36,588 --> 00:17:38,790
I love that used berbere.
427
00:17:38,824 --> 00:17:39,490
It's one of my favorite spices.
428
00:17:39,525 --> 00:17:40,425
It goes really well.
429
00:17:40,459 --> 00:17:41,859
Brightness from the tomato.
430
00:17:41,894 --> 00:17:45,663
I love the crispiness, the golden
brown that you got on the bread.
431
00:17:45,697 --> 00:17:48,666
I think you did a really good
job of flipping those frozen meals.
432
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,102
My question to you would be,
433
00:17:51,136 --> 00:17:54,839
is that cheese inside
of the sandwich melted?
434
00:17:54,873 --> 00:17:56,674
You said you added fresh cheese.
435
00:17:56,708 --> 00:17:58,443
It feels a little fresh still.
436
00:17:58,477 --> 00:17:59,510
- Um, but...
- Yeah, there's a little...
437
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:03,481
- Look, it's a little melty.
- [laughter]
438
00:18:03,515 --> 00:18:04,782
At least it's not frozen,
439
00:18:04,817 --> 00:18:07,385
- Yeah. [chuckling]
- So good on you for that.
440
00:18:08,420 --> 00:18:10,688
- Next up, Chef Voltaggio.
- All right, judges.
441
00:18:10,722 --> 00:18:13,591
I made you a Philly cheesesteak
and a panzanella salad,
442
00:18:13,625 --> 00:18:16,427
Starting with the boxes
that I used today...
443
00:18:17,229 --> 00:18:18,763
[all laughing]
444
00:18:18,797 --> 00:18:21,933
The cheese sauce was thickened from
the macaroni and cheese out of this box.
445
00:18:21,967 --> 00:18:25,703
My steak in my Philly cheesesteak
came from these two meats,
446
00:18:25,737 --> 00:18:28,773
which I sliced very thin,
cooked in their juice,
447
00:18:28,807 --> 00:18:32,243
then caramelized in a pan with lots of
caramelized onions and black pepper.
448
00:18:32,277 --> 00:18:35,012
For the panzanella,
I cut the pizza up,
449
00:18:35,047 --> 00:18:39,484
utilized the cheese, the sauce, the
pepperoni as my panzanella crouton.
450
00:18:39,518 --> 00:18:41,385
I grabbed cheddar cheese
from my fridge.
451
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:48,359
Wait, am I in Philadelphia
or L.A. right now?
452
00:18:48,393 --> 00:18:49,627
[all laughing]
453
00:18:49,661 --> 00:18:51,662
It's cheesy, it's hot,
it's peppery.
454
00:18:51,697 --> 00:18:53,164
It tastes like
a Philly cheesesteak.
455
00:18:53,198 --> 00:18:57,502
Michael, that definitely looks
like a hot lunch that I want to eat,
456
00:18:57,536 --> 00:18:59,003
'cause I love me
a Philly cheesesteak.
457
00:18:59,037 --> 00:19:02,640
And I love the way that you used
so many of the frozen ingredients.
458
00:19:02,674 --> 00:19:07,345
That double punch with the cheese
sauce and the melted cheese all gooey,
459
00:19:07,379 --> 00:19:08,880
much respect for that.
460
00:19:08,914 --> 00:19:12,617
Using that pizza crust
as croutons was amazing.
461
00:19:12,651 --> 00:19:14,218
[Simon] The salad, though...
462
00:19:14,253 --> 00:19:17,755
I'm not sure I particularly want a
panzanella salad with a Philly cheesesteak.
463
00:19:17,789 --> 00:19:21,025
It's not something
I would order at Tony Luke's.
464
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:23,661
Next up, Chef Jet.
465
00:19:23,695 --> 00:19:26,364
One of my pleasures,
and not guilty,
466
00:19:26,398 --> 00:19:28,533
for a hot lunch for sure
is Chinese takeout.
467
00:19:28,567 --> 00:19:31,369
Fried rice
and an orange chicken.
468
00:19:31,403 --> 00:19:32,470
I got the nuggets,
469
00:19:32,504 --> 00:19:34,605
I heated them up make sure
they were extra crispy.
470
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,374
From four or five of the boxes,
471
00:19:36,408 --> 00:19:38,342
I got green beans,
I got carrots,
472
00:19:38,377 --> 00:19:40,945
I got bell peppers,
I got broccoli.
473
00:19:41,246 --> 00:19:42,180
Mmm.
474
00:19:43,615 --> 00:19:46,551
Crunchy, soft, pillowy...
475
00:19:46,585 --> 00:19:47,752
- [laughs]
- ...savory.
476
00:19:47,786 --> 00:19:50,621
It's got that whole hot, sour,
salty, sweet, savory thing.
477
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:54,025
Chef Jet, this looks
absolutely delicious.
478
00:19:54,059 --> 00:19:55,760
Your dish looks
super fresh and vibrant,
479
00:19:55,794 --> 00:19:58,829
and the fresh scallions on top
really brought the dish all together.
480
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:02,166
There's literally
nothing more on this planet
481
00:20:02,201 --> 00:20:05,536
- that I crave than orange chicken.
- Phew!
482
00:20:05,571 --> 00:20:07,672
[Brooke] Looks tasty,
it looks exactly like
483
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:10,808
everything I crave every
time I want orange chicken.
484
00:20:10,842 --> 00:20:12,577
[Simon] To think you took
all of that from frozen food
485
00:20:12,611 --> 00:20:13,878
to create such a beautiful plate
486
00:20:13,912 --> 00:20:16,581
is fantastic under
a competition like this.
487
00:20:16,615 --> 00:20:19,383
Yeah, I love the way that you
used the fresh ingredients
488
00:20:19,418 --> 00:20:20,651
to bring to that sauce.
489
00:20:20,686 --> 00:20:22,620
One of things I was
worried about, though,
490
00:20:22,654 --> 00:20:24,789
it is going to be very heavy.
491
00:20:25,657 --> 00:20:27,525
All right, judges.
Thank you very much.
492
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:29,794
The chef with the
highest score will experience
493
00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:32,630
- the warmth of the envelope of opportunity...
- Yes.
494
00:20:32,664 --> 00:20:34,999
...while the chef with the lowest
score will get what, Hunter?
495
00:20:35,033 --> 00:20:37,468
The large, chilling
package of pain.
496
00:20:37,502 --> 00:20:39,237
- [Guy] Large chilling package of pain.
- [Hunter] Yes.
497
00:20:39,271 --> 00:20:41,639
So judges, text over
your scores to Hunter,
498
00:20:41,673 --> 00:20:43,174
and when we come back,
499
00:20:43,208 --> 00:20:46,410
we'll find out who's leading
this frozen fiasco after Game 1.
500
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:49,080
[honking]
501
00:20:51,283 --> 00:20:51,882
[honking]
502
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:53,818
Welcome back, chefs.
503
00:20:53,852 --> 00:20:57,255
We've given you the very difficult
task of cooking with frozen food.
504
00:20:57,289 --> 00:21:00,391
But you really... brought it.
505
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:01,492
- No, that was bad.
- That was bad.
506
00:21:01,526 --> 00:21:02,526
- That's terrible.
- Yeah.
507
00:21:02,561 --> 00:21:04,395
[Guy] And the
judge's scores reflected.
508
00:21:04,429 --> 00:21:07,031
We've got high,
we got medium, and we got low.
509
00:21:07,065 --> 00:21:12,169
Let's start off with the
winner-winner chicken dinner.
510
00:21:12,204 --> 00:21:14,105
And that goes to not Jet.
511
00:21:15,907 --> 00:21:17,742
Jet, you're right
in the middle there, buddy.
512
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:20,578
That leaves Aarti and Voltaggio.
513
00:21:20,612 --> 00:21:22,346
Was at the Philly cheesesteak
514
00:21:22,381 --> 00:21:24,482
or was the
grilled cheese and soup?
515
00:21:24,516 --> 00:21:30,054
And with a 41 to 37,
that will go to...
516
00:21:30,622 --> 00:21:32,490
- Boom!
- [Hunter] Wow!
517
00:21:32,524 --> 00:21:34,325
[Guy] Chef Voltaggio with a 41,
518
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,693
Aarti with a 37.
519
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:36,594
Chef Voltaggio, congratulations.
520
00:21:36,628 --> 00:21:38,095
You can go ahead...
521
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:40,431
- You know what it feels like to rip this package open.
- Thanks, Guy.
522
00:21:40,465 --> 00:21:43,467
Take a look here.
The envelope of opportunity.
523
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:46,671
$1,000 prize
to you, Chef Voltaggio,
524
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:50,541
and $1,000 to a restaurant
that is in the time of need
525
00:21:50,575 --> 00:21:52,009
from Triple G: Delivery.
526
00:21:52,044 --> 00:21:53,210
Oh, wow!
527
00:21:53,245 --> 00:21:56,781
This donation is gonna go to
a restaurant called All Time.
528
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:57,748
It's just down the street
from my house.
529
00:21:57,783 --> 00:22:00,584
This absolutely helps.
Thank you so much.
530
00:22:00,619 --> 00:22:01,585
[Guy] All right, I dig it.
531
00:22:01,620 --> 00:22:04,755
- And you will get a chill advantage...
- Cool.
532
00:22:04,790 --> 00:22:05,656
Chill advantage
in the next round.
533
00:22:05,691 --> 00:22:09,093
And package of pain
going to Chef Aarti.
534
00:22:09,127 --> 00:22:10,027
[chuckles]
535
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:15,333
- Okay.
- Oh, look at this. It's a Sunday glass.
536
00:22:15,367 --> 00:22:17,368
How is ice-cream pain?
537
00:22:17,402 --> 00:22:21,539
You have to assemble and eat
an entire ice-cream sundae
538
00:22:21,573 --> 00:22:23,574
before you could cook
in Round 2.
539
00:22:23,608 --> 00:22:26,277
I am so okay with that.
540
00:22:26,311 --> 00:22:28,212
And round two starts now.
541
00:22:29,715 --> 00:22:32,750
This is the deciding round
of our "Frozen Fiasco."
542
00:22:32,818 --> 00:22:35,853
And the chef with the highest
combined score at the end of this round
543
00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:42,193
will have a shot of winning up to
$20,000 in really cold, hard cash.
544
00:22:42,227 --> 00:22:46,364
So let's see what dish would
go well with an ice cream sundae.
545
00:22:46,398 --> 00:22:47,331
[inaudible]
546
00:22:47,366 --> 00:22:48,833
We're talking about
Sunday supper,
547
00:22:48,867 --> 00:22:52,670
the meal that your friends and
family look forward to all week long.
548
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:55,339
So let's go ahead
and open those boxes.
549
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,386
[chuckling] Oh, no, no.
550
00:22:57,410 --> 00:22:59,610
Oh, man!
551
00:22:59,644 --> 00:23:03,814
There's frozen fish sticks,
Bagel Bites, mochi ice-cream.
552
00:23:04,449 --> 00:23:07,852
Frozen shrimp and apple pie.
553
00:23:07,886 --> 00:23:11,522
We've given you some really
great frozen proteins.
554
00:23:11,556 --> 00:23:13,891
Unfortunately, they're
combined with some whammies.
555
00:23:13,925 --> 00:23:17,628
The name of this game is the
2 for 1 Frozen Special.
556
00:23:17,662 --> 00:23:19,630
2 for 1 Frozen Special.
557
00:23:19,664 --> 00:23:21,499
That's cold. Seriously.
558
00:23:21,533 --> 00:23:23,334
In order to make
your Sunday supper,
559
00:23:23,368 --> 00:23:25,703
- you'll literally have to take the good with the bad...
- [Hunter] Mmm-hmm.
560
00:23:25,737 --> 00:23:27,905
...which is kind of like having
your family over for dinner.
561
00:23:27,939 --> 00:23:28,839
Oh, that is cold.
562
00:23:28,874 --> 00:23:31,342
And there's three
possible combos with this.
563
00:23:31,376 --> 00:23:35,413
- Frozen shrimp go along with the...
- [Hunter] Mini apple pie.
564
00:23:35,447 --> 00:23:39,383
[Guy] The frozen chicken tenders
go with the green tea mochi.
565
00:23:39,418 --> 00:23:41,285
- And the frozen fish sticks...
- [Hunter] Mmm.
566
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:43,888
...go with the Bagel Bites.
567
00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:47,091
Now, Chef Voltaggio, since you
won the advantage in the first round,
568
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:51,462
you not only get to choose the
combo that you want to cook with...
569
00:23:51,496 --> 00:23:52,596
[groans]
570
00:23:52,631 --> 00:23:54,865
...you get to assign the combo
to the other two chefs.
571
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:56,233
Ooh!
572
00:23:56,268 --> 00:24:00,037
Chef Voltaggio will be the frozen
shrimp and frozen mini apple pie,
573
00:24:00,071 --> 00:24:03,874
will be the frozen chicken tender
meat and the green tea mochi,
574
00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:05,743
or will be the frozen sticks
and the Bagel Bites.
575
00:24:05,777 --> 00:24:07,912
Which one
would you like to have, Chef?
576
00:24:07,946 --> 00:24:09,480
I'm going to take the shrimp
and the apple pie.
577
00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:10,948
[Guy] Shrimp and the apple pie.
578
00:24:10,982 --> 00:24:14,785
Chef, who will get the frozen chicken
tender meat and green tea mochi.
579
00:24:14,820 --> 00:24:18,355
I can tell you who's not
getting that one is Jet Tila.
580
00:24:18,390 --> 00:24:20,524
- Come on!
- [chuckling]
581
00:24:20,559 --> 00:24:22,259
I knew that was coming.
582
00:24:22,294 --> 00:24:23,327
[Jet] That's what I wanted.
583
00:24:23,395 --> 00:24:24,395
So smart.
584
00:24:24,429 --> 00:24:26,730
So, Chef Jet, frozen fish
sticks and Bagel Bites,
585
00:24:26,765 --> 00:24:29,834
Chef Voltaggio, frozen shrimp
and frozen mini apple pie,
586
00:24:29,868 --> 00:24:33,671
and Chef Aarti, frozen chicken
tender meat and green tea mochi.
587
00:24:33,705 --> 00:24:36,907
I can tell by your frozen
expressions that you aren't happy,
588
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:39,710
so everybody gets use four
fresh ingredients from your pantry.
589
00:24:39,778 --> 00:24:41,846
- Your time starts now. Good luck!
- [Hunter] Nice.
590
00:24:42,380 --> 00:24:44,882
Okay, so Sunday time.
591
00:24:44,916 --> 00:24:47,785
Oh, my God, so before Aarti
can even start cooking,
592
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:50,321
she has to assemble
and eat a sundae.
593
00:24:50,355 --> 00:24:51,655
[Guy] Hurry up, Aarti!
594
00:24:51,690 --> 00:24:53,657
- You gotta make that sundae and eat it!
- [Aarti] I'm working.
595
00:24:53,692 --> 00:24:56,293
- Here you go! Get that whipped cream on there!
- Yes, this is delicious!
596
00:24:57,729 --> 00:24:59,196
Don't forget the sprinkles.
597
00:25:00,298 --> 00:25:01,398
This is madness.
598
00:25:01,433 --> 00:25:03,534
And a cherry! Go, Aarti, eat it!
599
00:25:03,568 --> 00:25:05,736
I love, love ice-cream.
600
00:25:05,770 --> 00:25:06,971
This is my heaven.
601
00:25:07,005 --> 00:25:11,509
- And I can get through a cup of it real fast.
- [chuckles]
602
00:25:12,477 --> 00:25:14,278
What's painful
about this exactly? [chuckles]
603
00:25:15,814 --> 00:25:18,549
- That was like four bites!
- Good job, Aarti!
604
00:25:18,583 --> 00:25:20,618
All right, Aarti,
you're good to go.
605
00:25:20,652 --> 00:25:23,487
Okay. I really gotta think.
606
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:26,524
Michael Voltaggio,
with love in his heart,
607
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:30,728
gives me chicken tenders
and the green tea mochi.
608
00:25:30,762 --> 00:25:32,663
Aarti has enough
going against her right now.
609
00:25:32,697 --> 00:25:33,764
I'm pulling for you, Aarti.
610
00:25:33,798 --> 00:25:35,332
- Thank you, darling.
- To be in second.
611
00:25:35,367 --> 00:25:36,634
[chuckles]
612
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:39,837
What in the actual world am I
going to do with these ingredients?
613
00:25:40,672 --> 00:25:42,706
The first thing
that I have to do
614
00:25:42,741 --> 00:25:45,976
is take the chill off of these
chicken tenders.
615
00:25:46,010 --> 00:25:47,878
Okay, I get
four ingredients, right?
616
00:25:47,913 --> 00:25:50,881
So for my four fresh
ingredients from my pantry,
617
00:25:50,916 --> 00:25:57,021
I'm grabbing some parsley, pita
bread, pickled beets and tahini.
618
00:25:57,889 --> 00:26:00,457
So when I was little,
on the weekend,
619
00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:02,359
my mom would
get a night off from cooking.
620
00:26:02,394 --> 00:26:03,327
She cooked all time,
621
00:26:03,361 --> 00:26:04,895
and so we would
get Lebanese food.
622
00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:09,633
So I think the best thing that
I could do with this chicken
623
00:26:09,668 --> 00:26:15,706
has actually turn it into
some version of a shawarma.
624
00:26:15,740 --> 00:26:19,643
A shawarma marinade has a
bunch of different spices in it.
625
00:26:19,678 --> 00:26:22,947
I'm going to cheat it with
a lot of cumin and paprika.
626
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:25,316
Both of those
are pantry ingredients
627
00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:28,052
so, uh, they don't count
towards my four.
628
00:26:29,688 --> 00:26:32,489
How do I transform fish sticks?
629
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:33,824
Ay, ay, ay.
630
00:26:33,858 --> 00:26:36,727
- [chuckles] - I'm just glad
I'm not playing this game.
631
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:39,330
I don't have a starch
that ties this all together.
632
00:26:39,364 --> 00:26:40,764
Sunday suppers
are all about pasta, yo.
633
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:44,268
So I'm going to center this
around a pasta dinner.
634
00:26:44,302 --> 00:26:45,636
So I've got linguine.
635
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:48,672
So I've got four ingredients
to play with from my pantry,
636
00:26:48,707 --> 00:26:56,046
and those are going to be
linguine, garlic, lemon and kale.
637
00:26:56,615 --> 00:26:59,516
I'll do a garlic bread.
638
00:26:59,551 --> 00:27:00,584
That's what I'm gonna do.
639
00:27:00,619 --> 00:27:02,853
And then I gotta figure out
what to do with fish.
640
00:27:02,887 --> 00:27:05,789
I don't really know what I'm
doing with my fish sticks yet.
641
00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:09,026
So I thoughtfully peel off the
pizza toppings from the Bagel Bites.
642
00:27:09,060 --> 00:27:15,599
I'm going to isolate them and make garlic
bread breadcrumbs to tie into this pasta.
643
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:17,101
I think it's
going to be delicious.
644
00:27:17,135 --> 00:27:19,737
Garlicky butter.
645
00:27:19,771 --> 00:27:22,439
So let's put this
in the air fryer.
646
00:27:22,474 --> 00:27:25,509
And I'm gonna make, like,
a little crumble.
647
00:27:25,543 --> 00:27:28,145
- [air fryer beeps]
- Let that go.
648
00:27:28,179 --> 00:27:30,848
[Brooke] Frozen shrimp
and frozen mini apple pie.
649
00:27:30,882 --> 00:27:35,019
Those ingredients don't even go
together in any way, shape or form to me.
650
00:27:35,053 --> 00:27:40,424
But I think Michael Voltaggio is the correct
brain to deal with a combination like that.
651
00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:44,428
[Michael] Wow,
this is super frozen.
652
00:27:44,462 --> 00:27:46,597
My strategy for this round
653
00:27:46,631 --> 00:27:50,701
is to not try and force a
conflicting flavor into one dish.
654
00:27:50,735 --> 00:27:53,203
So therefore, I'm making
two different dishes.
655
00:27:53,238 --> 00:27:54,271
For my Sunday supper,
656
00:27:54,305 --> 00:27:55,539
I am making shrimp and grits
657
00:27:55,573 --> 00:28:00,811
and a apple pie pastry
cream-stuffed croissant doughnut.
658
00:28:00,845 --> 00:28:02,746
So the four things from
my pantry that I'm using
659
00:28:02,781 --> 00:28:07,785
are eggs, scallions,
puff pastry and frozen corn.
660
00:28:07,819 --> 00:28:11,922
To make a puff pastry
croissant doughnut,
661
00:28:11,956 --> 00:28:15,626
I'm actually brushing each
sheet of pastry with egg yolk,
662
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:19,763
seasoning that with sugar,
stacking it and pressing it together.
663
00:28:20,699 --> 00:28:23,200
Then I'm cutting that
in doughnut shapes,
664
00:28:23,234 --> 00:28:24,535
and which I'll fry.
665
00:28:24,569 --> 00:28:26,704
So it's basically like
a little croissant doughnut.
666
00:28:26,738 --> 00:28:29,807
So for my shrimp and grits,
I don't have grits,
667
00:28:29,841 --> 00:28:31,642
so I'm gonna make them
out of frozen corn
668
00:28:31,676 --> 00:28:34,712
by putting them
in the food processor.
669
00:28:34,746 --> 00:28:37,014
They don't turn into a puree
and you don't push all the milk out.
670
00:28:37,048 --> 00:28:41,952
They turn into, like, a powdery
dust that I can use to turn into grits.
671
00:28:42,854 --> 00:28:44,588
[Guy] Triple G all-stars
are attempting
672
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:48,625
to turn frozen food combos
into a winning Sunday supper.
673
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:51,261
Can they win
this frozen face-off
674
00:28:51,296 --> 00:28:53,430
or will they let it go?
675
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,166
[honking]
676
00:28:59,504 --> 00:29:00,704
[honking]
677
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:03,841
Our all-star chefs are in
a fierce frozen food fight
678
00:29:03,875 --> 00:29:07,377
where things could
snowball quickly, Hunter.
679
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:08,345
Snowball.
680
00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:09,646
I get it. It's good.
681
00:29:09,681 --> 00:29:11,448
[Brooke] Sunday supper
is different for everyone.
682
00:29:11,483 --> 00:29:15,619
But I think for most people that this
is a meal that a family sits down to eat.
683
00:29:15,653 --> 00:29:17,588
The real crux of this is
684
00:29:17,622 --> 00:29:21,325
each chef has to use
two frozen ingredients
685
00:29:21,359 --> 00:29:22,926
that should never really
sit together,
686
00:29:22,961 --> 00:29:25,796
and try and create a meal
that makes sense out of that.
687
00:29:25,830 --> 00:29:28,565
It's a challenging,
challenging around.
688
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,634
-[food sizzling] -[in
sing-song voice] Beautiful.
689
00:29:30,668 --> 00:29:32,503
Let's get a run down here.
690
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:35,672
Aarti, tell us how are you putting
this fantastic Sunday supper together?
691
00:29:35,707 --> 00:29:37,541
So I'm making chicken shawarma,
692
00:29:37,575 --> 00:29:39,777
and then I'm gonna
take that green tea mochi
693
00:29:39,811 --> 00:29:41,645
and I'm gonna use that
in my tahini sauce
694
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:43,547
for my shawarma sandwiches.
695
00:29:43,581 --> 00:29:44,915
Hmm. That sells.
696
00:29:44,949 --> 00:29:48,352
So weird that I'm using this
to make something savory.
697
00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:51,555
The tahini is really driving
this whole dish.
698
00:29:51,589 --> 00:29:53,557
There goes that tahini.
699
00:29:53,591 --> 00:29:56,660
Tahini has that nice,
earthy bitterness
700
00:29:56,694 --> 00:29:58,562
that marries really beautifully
701
00:29:58,596 --> 00:30:01,498
with that earthy bitterness
of green tea.
702
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:02,599
Oh! It's so good.
703
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:05,269
It's, like, fresh,
it's bright, bitter.
704
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:06,637
It's perfect. It's perfect.
705
00:30:06,671 --> 00:30:07,838
[sizzling]
706
00:30:07,872 --> 00:30:13,010
So then the only thing left
is to make a teeny tiny salad.
707
00:30:13,044 --> 00:30:16,313
This is totally
a Sunday supper for me,
708
00:30:16,347 --> 00:30:17,815
both from my childhood and now.
709
00:30:17,849 --> 00:30:21,652
Okay, so that's just parsley
and pickled beets.
710
00:30:21,686 --> 00:30:23,554
It's time to warm up this pita.
711
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:25,255
See how that goes.
712
00:30:25,290 --> 00:30:26,957
[Jet] Just lean in.
713
00:30:28,059 --> 00:30:29,359
[chuckles]
714
00:30:29,394 --> 00:30:34,064
I've never quit, but I have no
idea how to get out of fish sticks.
715
00:30:34,098 --> 00:30:38,669
- Chef Jet, boy, you won big with the fish sticks.
- [chuckling]
716
00:30:38,703 --> 00:30:42,306
Nobody likes to party at the
Tila house on Sunday, huh?
717
00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:43,674
Chef Volt crushed me, Guy.
718
00:30:43,708 --> 00:30:46,710
This is the most pain I've ever
been in in Triple G, right here.
719
00:30:46,744 --> 00:30:49,224
- You're looking at it.
- Oh, my gosh.
720
00:30:49,248 --> 00:30:50,581
Victim.
721
00:30:50,615 --> 00:30:53,650
So you know what? I'm going to
do, like, a Sunday supper pasta dish
722
00:30:53,685 --> 00:30:56,386
with fish and kale
and garlic and lemon.
723
00:30:56,421 --> 00:30:58,121
Hopefully it'll
come together nicely,
724
00:30:58,156 --> 00:31:00,557
I'm literally
shaving off the breading
725
00:31:00,592 --> 00:31:02,993
to expose these
mini fish fillets.
726
00:31:03,027 --> 00:31:03,760
And it's working.
727
00:31:03,795 --> 00:31:06,196
So I take the same garlic butter
728
00:31:06,231 --> 00:31:09,032
that I bathed the bagels in
to sauté fish sticks.
729
00:31:09,067 --> 00:31:13,537
I want to get that, kind of, buttery,
salty garlic flavor into that fish.
730
00:31:13,571 --> 00:31:16,373
Uh, the borrowed butter's
here as well with olive oil.
731
00:31:16,407 --> 00:31:17,908
And then I grab a bunch of kale
732
00:31:18,943 --> 00:31:21,111
and it's going to work
really well with garlic,
733
00:31:21,145 --> 00:31:25,782
and give it a really hard sauté to,
kind of, counter all these flavors.
734
00:31:25,817 --> 00:31:28,685
A ton of lemon zest
into this kale,
735
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,488
'cause, you know, like that
freshness that that brings in.
736
00:31:31,522 --> 00:31:33,323
I need to concentrate
on what the challenges are.
737
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,593
Garlic bread crumbs.
738
00:31:36,628 --> 00:31:38,929
Really embrace them,
739
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:40,631
don't try to fight against them,
740
00:31:40,665 --> 00:31:41,732
and that's how
I'm going to win this.
741
00:31:41,766 --> 00:31:44,601
It's gonna be
a very simple dish.
742
00:31:44,636 --> 00:31:46,670
Chef Voltaggio,
who's in the lead,
743
00:31:46,704 --> 00:31:48,672
uh, walk us through
what you're doing.
744
00:31:48,706 --> 00:31:52,743
I'm actually, uh, creating
a shrimp oil real quick.
745
00:31:52,777 --> 00:31:55,846
Then I'm gonna confit the shrimp
in, so they're nice and tender.
746
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,748
To me, what makes
the perfect shrimp and grits
747
00:31:57,782 --> 00:31:59,983
is getting so much
shrimp flavor in there
748
00:32:00,018 --> 00:32:02,920
that you could just eat it
through every bite of the grits.
749
00:32:03,755 --> 00:32:05,455
There's no supper
without dessert.
750
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:08,025
For my apple pie pastry cream,
751
00:32:08,059 --> 00:32:11,061
I take the apple pie filling,
I put it in the blender,
752
00:32:11,663 --> 00:32:12,663
now I'm blending it
753
00:32:12,697 --> 00:32:16,466
and using the apple pie dough
as my thickener
754
00:32:16,501 --> 00:32:20,103
so that I can create the effect of
a pastry cream or doughnut filling.
755
00:32:20,138 --> 00:32:22,205
Let's see what we got here
with our apple pie.
756
00:32:24,108 --> 00:32:27,444
Wow, that is actually
pretty, pretty good.
757
00:32:28,947 --> 00:32:32,015
Sunday supper to me should be
a little bit special.
758
00:32:32,050 --> 00:32:35,686
Think back to the days of, like,
Sunday gravy, Italian cooking,
759
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,287
putting lots of food out
on the table,
760
00:32:37,322 --> 00:32:42,359
and families sitting down and just enjoying
the ritual of breaking bread together.
761
00:32:42,393 --> 00:32:44,394
All right, chefs.
We got five minutes.
762
00:32:44,429 --> 00:32:45,662
Five to go.
763
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:47,564
Don't look at this floor,
you guys. [chuckles]
764
00:32:47,598 --> 00:32:49,266
It's terrible!
765
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,902
The frozen chicken is really
moist and has some good char on it.
766
00:32:51,936 --> 00:32:55,439
I don't think you could tell
that came out of the freezer.
767
00:32:55,473 --> 00:32:57,641
I put the pita
down on the plate,
768
00:32:57,675 --> 00:32:59,443
has a nice char on it.
769
00:32:59,477 --> 00:33:02,446
I ladle the tahini sauce
on the bottom,
770
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,382
that nice hot sliced chicken
over the top,
771
00:33:05,416 --> 00:33:08,919
and then that parsley and
pickled beets over the top.
772
00:33:08,953 --> 00:33:11,488
I mean, the pickled beets
look so pretty in that.
773
00:33:11,522 --> 00:33:13,523
I came into this round
in third place,
774
00:33:13,558 --> 00:33:16,893
but I am not leaving
at this round in third place.
775
00:33:17,695 --> 00:33:19,429
[Michael] Pastry cream
ready to go.
776
00:33:20,431 --> 00:33:22,699
Now it's time to plate
my Sunday supper.
777
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:24,901
I transformed
this frozen apple pie
778
00:33:24,936 --> 00:33:28,372
into a croissant doughnut
with an apple pie pastry cream.
779
00:33:28,406 --> 00:33:30,107
Nice and thin, smooth.
780
00:33:30,141 --> 00:33:32,876
For the shrimp and grits,
I'm putting the grits down first,
781
00:33:32,910 --> 00:33:36,747
then pouring the shrimp oil that I
made out of the shrimp over top of that.
782
00:33:36,781 --> 00:33:39,383
So it now is becoming
shrimp in grits.
783
00:33:39,417 --> 00:33:42,119
Then I'm topping that off
with a skewer
784
00:33:42,153 --> 00:33:43,754
so that I can get some
points on presentation.
785
00:33:43,788 --> 00:33:46,690
I just feel like everything
looks a little bit prettier.
786
00:33:46,724 --> 00:33:48,392
I think this is
the best round of cooking
787
00:33:48,426 --> 00:33:50,660
I've ever done
on Triple G: Delivery.
788
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:53,296
All right, chefs,
you got 60 seconds.
789
00:33:53,865 --> 00:33:55,232
[Jet] All right.
790
00:33:55,266 --> 00:33:59,336
Into the pan that I've sautéed
the kale and the butter and garlic,
791
00:33:59,370 --> 00:34:01,538
I am throwing the pasta in now.
792
00:34:01,572 --> 00:34:02,906
Garlic butter.
793
00:34:02,940 --> 00:34:06,076
I hit this with a good amount of
breadcrumbs for some crunch.
794
00:34:07,578 --> 00:34:09,613
Mmm. All right.
795
00:34:09,647 --> 00:34:15,352
I get that onto the plate
and lay my fish pieces over.
796
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:18,288
Yo, fancy fish pasta
right here, y'all.
797
00:34:19,357 --> 00:34:21,792
Three, two, one.
798
00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:23,593
- That's it. Stop working.
- [exhales]
799
00:34:23,628 --> 00:34:25,228
[Guy] Well done, everybody.
800
00:34:25,263 --> 00:34:26,430
Good job, guys.
801
00:34:26,464 --> 00:34:27,664
Well done. [chuckles]
802
00:34:28,399 --> 00:34:29,966
- [sighs]
- Wow, what a challenge.
803
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:32,869
- That couldn't have been easy.
- You got ice running through your veins, Hunter.
804
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:35,672
Time to find out who's
the leader in the ice pack.
805
00:34:35,706 --> 00:34:37,107
Let's take it to the judging.
806
00:34:38,409 --> 00:34:39,342
[honking]
807
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:43,847
[honking]
808
00:34:43,881 --> 00:34:47,717
All right, judges. This is Triple
G: Delivery, "The Frozen Fiasco."
809
00:34:47,752 --> 00:34:50,887
The chefs had to make
a Super Sunday supper
810
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,723
using the mandatory
frozen food combos they got.
811
00:34:53,758 --> 00:34:56,693
With a commanding lead
of 41 points,
812
00:34:56,727 --> 00:34:59,029
Chef Michael, you're up first.
What'd you make?
813
00:34:59,063 --> 00:35:01,731
For me, Sunday supper
is also about dessert.
814
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:03,600
So I made you two dishes today.
815
00:35:03,634 --> 00:35:05,402
So we've got shrimp and grits
816
00:35:05,436 --> 00:35:07,370
and apple pie
croissant doughnut.
817
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:08,472
First, shrimp and grits.
818
00:35:08,506 --> 00:35:11,475
I ground the frozen corn,
cooked that down as grits,
819
00:35:11,509 --> 00:35:13,376
finished it with butter
and scallions.
820
00:35:13,411 --> 00:35:15,045
The shrimp, I made two things.
821
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:16,713
I made a shrimp oil
out of the shells.
822
00:35:16,747 --> 00:35:19,649
Then I confit
the shrimp in that oil.
823
00:35:19,684 --> 00:35:23,353
The shrimp, because I confit
them, are super tender.
824
00:35:23,387 --> 00:35:24,621
They're not overcooked.
825
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:26,623
They're not rubbery. If
people are worried about that,
826
00:35:26,657 --> 00:35:28,758
when it comes to frozen
seafood. And then the grits,
827
00:35:28,793 --> 00:35:31,461
they're actually coated
in shrimp oil.
828
00:35:31,496 --> 00:35:33,730
So every bite of this dish,
829
00:35:33,764 --> 00:35:36,533
you taste the shrimp
all the way through.
830
00:35:36,567 --> 00:35:39,603
It's shrimp in grits,
not shrimp and grits.
831
00:35:39,637 --> 00:35:42,172
And then, for my dessert
part of my supper,
832
00:35:42,206 --> 00:35:43,874
into my croissant donut.
833
00:35:43,908 --> 00:35:45,509
I'll cut into this
and you'll see
834
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,611
I got perfect apple pie
donuts here.
835
00:35:47,645 --> 00:35:49,846
And they're cooked
all the way through.
836
00:35:49,881 --> 00:35:52,682
- [laughing] - Coated
in sugar and love, baby.
837
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:54,618
When I think about
a Sunday supper,
838
00:35:54,652 --> 00:35:58,388
I do always think about a
savory dish and a dessert dish.
839
00:35:58,422 --> 00:35:59,689
I love the idea that you use
840
00:35:59,724 --> 00:36:03,393
the shrimp boil in there
to bring extra seafood flavor.
841
00:36:03,427 --> 00:36:05,729
Really like the idea
of confiting the shrimp
842
00:36:05,763 --> 00:36:09,032
because I could almost hear
that snap of those shrimp.
843
00:36:09,066 --> 00:36:12,836
And that's something really
hard to achieve with frozen shrimp.
844
00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:15,839
I love the idea that you use
shrimp in two ways,
845
00:36:15,873 --> 00:36:20,877
and I loved the idea of turning
that filling into a pastry cream.
846
00:36:20,912 --> 00:36:22,579
- Thank you, Chef.
- [Brooke] Chef Michael,
847
00:36:22,613 --> 00:36:25,515
when I saw that the fact
that you gave yourself shrimp
848
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:27,851
and apple pie together,
I was very confused
849
00:36:27,885 --> 00:36:30,787
because, to me,
they don't go together at all.
850
00:36:30,821 --> 00:36:32,856
So separating them
into two separate dishes
851
00:36:32,890 --> 00:36:34,224
made a lot of sense to me.
852
00:36:34,258 --> 00:36:37,827
Shrimp and grits does feel like
a very comfort food driven dish,
853
00:36:37,862 --> 00:36:40,630
but it does feel
a little bit disconnected
854
00:36:40,665 --> 00:36:42,866
in terms of presentation
for a Sunday supper.
855
00:36:43,768 --> 00:36:45,569
[Guy] All right, Chef Jet,
you're up.
856
00:36:45,603 --> 00:36:47,671
This, to me, is my idea
of a true Sunday supper.
857
00:36:47,705 --> 00:36:48,872
Something that
our kids would eat.
858
00:36:48,906 --> 00:36:50,707
There'd be a giant bowl
in the middle.
859
00:36:50,741 --> 00:36:53,577
So, today, I made a linguini,
860
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:56,479
sauteed kale
and a ton of garlic.
861
00:36:56,514 --> 00:36:58,148
I harvested the Bagel Bites.
862
00:36:58,182 --> 00:37:02,118
I took the bread only. I toasted
it off until it's really crispy.
863
00:37:02,153 --> 00:37:04,654
I just couldn't present such
esteemed judges fish sticks.
864
00:37:04,689 --> 00:37:06,623
There's no way. I'm not
gonna do that to you,
865
00:37:06,657 --> 00:37:10,760
so I actually took
the breading off. Mmm.
866
00:37:10,795 --> 00:37:14,598
The fish is actually more like a
sauteed fish instead of a fish stick.
867
00:37:14,632 --> 00:37:18,501
- The Bagel Bites are never to be thought of again.
- [laughs]
868
00:37:18,536 --> 00:37:20,770
- Super delicious.
- You really brought the essence
869
00:37:20,805 --> 00:37:22,839
and the energy
of a Sunday supper.
870
00:37:22,873 --> 00:37:26,009
And I pictured myself sitting
with you and Ali and the kids
871
00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:29,012
at the dinner table enjoying
that big bowl of pasta.
872
00:37:29,046 --> 00:37:30,213
- Thank you.
- [Simon] Jet.
873
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:33,283
One of things you say to me
is that, once you step outside
874
00:37:33,317 --> 00:37:34,784
your Asian roots
that you sometimes
875
00:37:34,819 --> 00:37:36,786
let yourself down
with your cooking,
876
00:37:36,821 --> 00:37:38,688
and I just don't think
that's true at all.
877
00:37:38,723 --> 00:37:40,457
- Thank you, Simon.
- [Brooke] Chef Jet,
878
00:37:40,491 --> 00:37:42,525
the Bagel Bites, turning
those into bread crumbs,
879
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,560
I think was brilliant.
880
00:37:43,594 --> 00:37:45,428
I would have also
loved to have seen
881
00:37:45,463 --> 00:37:47,430
that fish sort of
crumbled up a little bit
882
00:37:47,465 --> 00:37:48,865
and tossed into the pasta
883
00:37:48,899 --> 00:37:51,601
so that it didn't feel so,
sort of, separated.
884
00:37:51,636 --> 00:37:53,770
- Fair enough.
- [Guy] Aarti.
885
00:37:53,804 --> 00:37:56,773
So, for me, the Sunday
is thinking of food
886
00:37:56,807 --> 00:37:59,609
that is easy on me
as the cook of the house.
887
00:37:59,644 --> 00:38:01,244
I took it back to my childhood,
888
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:02,812
and I made chicken shawarma,
889
00:38:02,847 --> 00:38:04,848
which is a Lebanese
Middle Eastern
890
00:38:04,882 --> 00:38:08,451
spiced charred chicken
with a tahini sauce.
891
00:38:08,486 --> 00:38:10,387
And then I made kind of
a spin on Tabbouleh
892
00:38:10,421 --> 00:38:11,688
with pickled beets and parsley.
893
00:38:11,722 --> 00:38:14,457
I took the chicken tenders.
Thank you, Michael.
894
00:38:14,492 --> 00:38:16,760
The chicken tenders,
I defrosted and marinated
895
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:19,996
in cumin and paprika
from my pantry.
896
00:38:20,031 --> 00:38:23,700
I also dribbled in a little
bit of that pickled beet juice
897
00:38:23,734 --> 00:38:25,368
to keep it nice
and light and fresh.
898
00:38:25,403 --> 00:38:27,871
And I made this
green tea tahini sauce.
899
00:38:27,905 --> 00:38:30,940
And you get some of that
nice bright salad.
900
00:38:31,742 --> 00:38:33,777
And get your hands dirty. Mmm.
901
00:38:33,811 --> 00:38:36,680
The chicken's still really
tender on the inside.
902
00:38:36,714 --> 00:38:39,360
The char is what I love the most
903
00:38:39,384 --> 00:38:40,650
just because that's free flavor.
904
00:38:40,685 --> 00:38:41,985
Sweetness from
that pickled beet,
905
00:38:42,019 --> 00:38:45,322
that works really beautifully
with the bitterness of the tahini
906
00:38:45,356 --> 00:38:46,856
and the mouth, too. Mmm.
907
00:38:46,891 --> 00:38:49,559
I have to say, Aarti,
in terms of presentation
908
00:38:49,593 --> 00:38:51,728
and the way you cook,
I think you're back.
909
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:54,631
I think it took you one round
to get used to home delivery.
910
00:38:54,665 --> 00:38:56,599
This is my kind of dish.
911
00:38:56,634 --> 00:38:58,635
Well, Aarti,
I have to say you looked
912
00:38:58,669 --> 00:39:02,305
as cooler than
a polar bear's toenails.
913
00:39:02,340 --> 00:39:03,540
[laughs]
914
00:39:03,574 --> 00:39:07,277
Chef Aarti, I love the fact
that you call char free flavor.
915
00:39:07,311 --> 00:39:08,778
[laughs]
916
00:39:08,813 --> 00:39:09,746
A lot of people
don't realize how much
917
00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:12,615
the caramelization of something
918
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:14,517
really lends itself
to just having
919
00:39:14,552 --> 00:39:16,686
big, robust, layered flavors.
920
00:39:16,721 --> 00:39:17,587
I think it's really smart food.
921
00:39:17,621 --> 00:39:19,322
Honestly, it eats well.
922
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:20,623
That's got textures, flavors
923
00:39:20,658 --> 00:39:21,958
to sort of confuse
your palate enough
924
00:39:21,992 --> 00:39:25,128
to make you think that the green
tea mochi makes sense in here.
925
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:27,630
My only concern would be
the sweetness.
926
00:39:27,665 --> 00:39:29,332
- I know.
- When I think tahini,
927
00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:31,468
I don't think of a sweet sauce.
928
00:39:31,502 --> 00:39:33,770
Nicely done.
Great presentations.
929
00:39:33,804 --> 00:39:37,006
Now is the time for the judges
to give your final score.
930
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:40,443
The chefs with the highest
combined score from both rounds
931
00:39:40,478 --> 00:39:43,413
will win this frozen food
fiasco forever.
932
00:39:43,447 --> 00:39:45,548
So please leave
the feed one more time.
933
00:39:45,583 --> 00:39:47,617
Nice job, chefs. Thank you.
934
00:39:47,651 --> 00:39:49,686
So, judges, would like you
to go ahead and total up
935
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:50,820
the score.
Send them over to Hunter.
936
00:39:50,855 --> 00:39:53,823
He'll average them up
and we will find out,
937
00:39:53,858 --> 00:39:55,658
well, we're gonna find out
who is gonna win it
938
00:39:55,693 --> 00:39:58,094
and who's gonna spin
the wheel for up to 20K.
939
00:39:58,129 --> 00:39:59,129
Good luck.
940
00:40:01,298 --> 00:40:02,532
All right, chefs.
941
00:40:02,566 --> 00:40:04,501
Thank you, judges. Nice job.
942
00:40:04,535 --> 00:40:06,936
Let's take a look
at the numbers.
943
00:40:06,971 --> 00:40:07,804
We'll start with Aarti.
944
00:40:07,838 --> 00:40:10,673
Thirteen in Gameplay.
13 in Creativity.
945
00:40:10,708 --> 00:40:12,575
Eight in Plating, eight in Taste
946
00:40:12,610 --> 00:40:15,278
for a score of 42.
947
00:40:15,312 --> 00:40:16,613
All right, 79 for Aarti.
948
00:40:16,647 --> 00:40:18,615
Aarti, nice numbers.
Congratulations.
949
00:40:18,649 --> 00:40:20,450
Let's see. Let's go with Jet.
950
00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:21,751
Twelve, 12, eight, nine.
951
00:40:21,785 --> 00:40:24,454
Forty one for a total of 80.
952
00:40:24,488 --> 00:40:26,689
[whistles] But you
took her by one point.
953
00:40:26,724 --> 00:40:29,392
So that leaves us to
our guy Voltaggio here.
954
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:31,594
Does he have enough
to take the 80
955
00:40:31,629 --> 00:40:33,329
has to be 39 or better?
956
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:36,433
We've got 12, 13 and eight
957
00:40:36,467 --> 00:40:39,169
and eight for a total of 41.
958
00:40:39,203 --> 00:40:41,571
- Did I win?
- So there you go, ladies and gentlemen,
959
00:40:41,605 --> 00:40:43,573
with a win of 82 points.
960
00:40:43,607 --> 00:40:46,209
Chef Voltaggio, congratulations!
961
00:40:46,243 --> 00:40:47,243
Great job, brother.
962
00:40:47,278 --> 00:40:49,746
Aarti took him in the second
round by one point.
963
00:40:49,780 --> 00:40:52,382
But Voltaggio's four point lead
964
00:40:52,416 --> 00:40:55,318
in round one
was the game changer.
965
00:40:55,352 --> 00:40:56,386
Hunter, get the wheel.
966
00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:00,356
Well, there you see it, chef.
967
00:41:00,391 --> 00:41:02,425
We've got a cornucopia
of offerings.
968
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:04,527
Five thousand bucks, 10,000,
969
00:41:04,562 --> 00:41:07,263
a quiz, zero thousand,
970
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:08,665
twenty thousand, 1,000,
971
00:41:08,699 --> 00:41:11,801
another quiz and 15,000.
972
00:41:11,836 --> 00:41:14,704
So, a pretty good chance
of making some big money.
973
00:41:14,738 --> 00:41:18,274
- Yeah.
- And then two spots of not making much.
974
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:20,510
Chef, you know I appreciate you
975
00:41:20,544 --> 00:41:22,612
and I recognize you
and honor you.
976
00:41:22,646 --> 00:41:25,281
Let's just go with
10,000 and call it a day.
977
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:28,017
- Oh!
- Michael. [laughs]
978
00:41:28,052 --> 00:41:30,186
I'll take it.
I'll take the 10,000.
979
00:41:30,221 --> 00:41:31,888
[all cheering]
980
00:41:31,922 --> 00:41:33,723
It's 10,000 and he's done,
981
00:41:33,757 --> 00:41:37,293
- Oh!
- Ten thousand in the pocket.
982
00:41:37,328 --> 00:41:38,027
Woo!
983
00:41:38,762 --> 00:41:41,197
I got 1,000 round one plus ten.
984
00:41:41,232 --> 00:41:42,565
That's $11,000.
985
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,833
I'm off the clock today.
986
00:41:43,868 --> 00:41:46,302
Congratulations,
Chef Michael Voltaggio!
987
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:49,405
$10,000, the frozen food
new champ.
988
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,607
Thank you to all of our judges.
989
00:41:50,641 --> 00:41:52,609
Thank you to Jet Tila
and Aarti Sequeira.
990
00:41:52,643 --> 00:41:54,577
You guys were
fantastic competitors.
991
00:41:54,612 --> 00:41:55,612
Will catch you all next time
992
00:41:55,646 --> 00:41:57,480
when we make the delivery
at your house.
993
00:41:57,515 --> 00:42:00,149
Triple G delivery
next week. Adios!
