00:00:01,267 --> 00:00:02,167
[Guy]<i> They're fearless,</i>

00:00:03,303 --> 00:00:05,337
<i>and serve to protect us all.</i>

5

<i>They're firefighters.</i>

00:00:07,474 --> 00:00:08,674
[Kelly] Go, go, go!

7
00:00:08,708 --> 00:00:09,441
[Guy]<i> But that's not all.</i>

8
00:00:09,476 --> 00:00:10,743
They're also baller cooks!

9
00:00:10,777 --> 00:00:12,711
Firehouse, man,
you gotta go big.

10
00:00:12,746 --> 00:00:13,645
Gotta go big, got you.

11
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,148
And tonight,
they're tackling our games!

[siren blaring]

13
00:00:17,617 --> 00:00:19,651
- [man] Oh, great.
- [Guy]<i> Manning the stoves</i>

14
00:00:19,686 --> 00:00:22,254
<i>and making some smokin' food.</i>

15
00:00:22,288 --> 00:00:23,422
This is fire!

16
00:00:23,890 --> 00:00:24,656
[explosion]

17
00:00:24,691 --> 00:00:26,658
[Ariel] It's gonna be
one... dish.

18
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:29,361
[Guy]<i> It's a five-alarm</i>
<i>firefighter face off</i>

19
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:31,263
right now,
on<i> Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

20
00:00:31,297 --> 00:00:32,398
Whoo! [all clapping]

21
00:00:33,433 --> 00:00:34,700
[siren wails]

22
00:00:35,735 --> 00:00:38,570
So, let's meet our brave
and talented firefighters.

23
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:40,572
First up, we have
Justin McKenzie,

24
00:00:40,607 --> 00:00:43,742
fire chief and paramedic
from Fultondale, Alabama,

25
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:46,378
whose cooking is so beloved
in his town,

26
00:00:46,413 --> 00:00:47,546
he earned the nickname,

27
00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:48,981
Chief Grill Daddy.

28
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:52,418
[Justin]<i> Keeping calm under
pressure and calling the shots,</i>

29
00:00:52,452 --> 00:00:53,552
nothing new to me.

30
00:00:53,586 --> 00:00:54,520
Whoo!

31
00:00:54,554 --> 00:00:57,089
<i>My town doesn't call me
Chief Grill Daddy</i>

32
00:00:57,123 --> 00:00:57,756
for nothing.

33
00:00:57,791 --> 00:00:58,791
That is quite a name.

34
00:00:58,825 --> 00:00:59,958
They just see you walking
down the street, they go,

35
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:02,361
- "Hey, there goes Chief Grill Daddy."
- That's right.

36
00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:03,462
[Guy] Next, we got Kelly Brown,

37
00:01:03,496 --> 00:01:04,696
a firefighter and EMT

38
00:01:04,731 --> 00:01:06,498
- from St. Petersburg, Florida...
- [claps]

39
00:01:06,533 --> 00:01:08,367
...whose cooking is enjoyed by

40
00:01:08,401 --> 00:01:10,436
firefighters at work
and at home,

41
00:01:10,470 --> 00:01:12,371
'cause her husband
is a firefighter too.

42
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:14,406
[Kelly]<i> Being</i>
<i>a firefighter is my life.</i>

43
00:01:14,441 --> 00:01:15,741
<i>I always wanted brothers.</i>

44
00:01:15,775 --> 00:01:18,210
<i>Maybe I ended up finding myself</i>

45
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:19,511
having too many.

46
00:01:19,546 --> 00:01:20,712
- [Guy] Here she is!
- Whoo!

47
00:01:20,747 --> 00:01:22,848
So now, one of the best aspects

48
00:01:22,882 --> 00:01:24,550
<i>of my job is getting to cook
lunch and dinner</i>

49
00:01:24,584 --> 00:01:25,651
<i>for my team.</i>

50
00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:26,952
- [Guy] Go get 'em!
- [Kelly claps]

51
00:01:26,986 --> 00:01:27,820
[Guy] The guys are going down.

52
00:01:27,854 --> 00:01:29,555
And then, there is
Christopher Ingram,

53
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:31,757
a firefighter, EMT
and former marine,

54
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:34,660
who put his southern roots
to good use,

55
00:01:34,694 --> 00:01:36,595
feeding his crew
in Atlanta Georgia.

56
00:01:36,629 --> 00:01:39,364
[Chris]<i> Battle deployments,
culinary school,</i>

57
00:01:39,399 --> 00:01:40,599
<i>house fires,
and now it's time to</i>

58
00:01:40,633 --> 00:01:42,367
be in the battle
of<i> Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

59
00:01:43,002 --> 00:01:44,636
<i>Coming into it as a rookie,</i>

60
00:01:44,671 --> 00:01:46,872
<i>people found out that
I went to culinary school,</i>

61
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:48,540
<i>so I was ordained into</i>

62
00:01:48,575 --> 00:01:50,509
station cook,
kinda out the gate.

63
00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:51,543
[Guy]<i> What a resume!</i>

64
00:01:51,578 --> 00:01:52,478
How you doing, man?

65
00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:53,479
But I love it.

66
00:01:53,513 --> 00:01:55,447
[Guy] And finally, Ariel Merhav,

67
00:01:55,482 --> 00:01:57,683
a firefighter
and barbeque fanatic...

68
00:01:57,717 --> 00:01:59,751
- [claps] - [Guy] ...from
nearby Sebastopol, California,

69
00:01:59,786 --> 00:02:02,521
who joined the ranks
after seeing his community

70
00:02:02,555 --> 00:02:05,524
devastated by
the 2017 wildfires.

71
00:02:05,558 --> 00:02:07,292
[Ariel] I really thought
like I needed to do my part

72
00:02:07,327 --> 00:02:08,393
<i>and help out.</i>

73
00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:10,229
<i>I've only been firefighting
for a couple of years,</i>

74
00:02:10,263 --> 00:02:11,797
<i>but I love it.</i> [clapping]

75
00:02:11,831 --> 00:02:12,931
<i>It's what I'm meant to be doing.</i>

76
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:15,634
- [Guy] Nice to have you, buddy.
- Pleasure to be here!

77
00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:17,569
Well, I guess I'm cooking.

78
00:02:17,604 --> 00:02:19,671
[Guy] First responders,
you deserve

79
00:02:19,706 --> 00:02:21,573
a first class welcome.

80
00:02:21,608 --> 00:02:23,353
Thank you very much
for all that you do.

81
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:24,743
We are so indebted and...

82
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:28,147
Uh, first responders are just
an amazing group of people.

83
00:02:28,181 --> 00:02:29,681
There's no way
we could ever pay you enough

84
00:02:29,716 --> 00:02:31,316
to do the job that you do.

85
00:02:31,351 --> 00:02:32,384
So, thank you.

86
00:02:32,418 --> 00:02:34,486
So, tonight,
gonna give you two challenges

87
00:02:34,521 --> 00:02:37,422
that will test your culinary
skills in the firehouse.

88
00:02:38,224 --> 00:02:39,258
So,

89
00:02:39,292 --> 00:02:40,826
your Triple G judges

90
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,162
are gonna score your dishes
based upon

91
00:02:43,429 --> 00:02:44,229
taste,

92
00:02:44,531 --> 00:02:45,931
gameplay,

93
00:02:45,965 --> 00:02:46,732
and plating.

94
00:02:46,766 --> 00:02:48,634
The firefighter with
the lowest score

95
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:50,435
at the end of the first round

96
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:51,570
will be eliminated.

97
00:02:51,604 --> 00:02:53,172
You'll be back
polishing the truck.

98
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:56,508
Okay? But the firefighter who
has the highest combined score

99
00:02:56,543 --> 00:02:57,743
after the two rounds

100
00:02:57,777 --> 00:03:01,280
will get to shop Flavortown
Market for up to $20,000.

101
00:03:01,314 --> 00:03:02,281
[cash register dings]

102
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:03,549
[Guy] So,
for your first challenge,

103
00:03:03,583 --> 00:03:07,319
I want you to make
a cheesy comfort dinner.

104
00:03:07,353 --> 00:03:08,398
You know what
I'm talking about here?

105
00:03:08,422 --> 00:03:09,521
Oh, yeah.

106
00:03:09,556 --> 00:03:12,824
[Guy] So, I have Hunter
with some special gear

107
00:03:12,859 --> 00:03:14,793
- that you get to appreciate.
- Oh, lord.

108
00:03:14,827 --> 00:03:16,695
[Guy] Hunter,
you wanna come on over?

109
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:18,664
- Uh-oh [laughs]
- Come on.

110
00:03:18,698 --> 00:03:20,966
- [sighs]
- [Guy] My son, Hunter.

111
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,268
[Guy snaps fingers] Uh,
where's the fire gear?

112
00:03:23,303 --> 00:03:24,636
- What?
- The fire gear, the...

113
00:03:24,671 --> 00:03:26,838
Here we go. [all laughing]

114
00:03:26,873 --> 00:03:29,341
[Guy] I wanted the whole thing
and the suspender and the hose--

115
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:31,777
I know, but then we talked about
how we wouldn't want to do that to them,

116
00:03:31,811 --> 00:03:33,779
'cause that's, they do it
every day.

117
00:03:33,813 --> 00:03:34,680
- We talked about that?
- Yeah, thought so.

118
00:03:34,714 --> 00:03:36,048
- [Guy] Okay.
- What's going on? [laughs]

119
00:03:36,082 --> 00:03:38,584
- [Hunter] I'm thinking, "Okay, they're firefighters."
- Right.

120
00:03:38,618 --> 00:03:40,686
They're just always
carrying like, oh, big stuff,

121
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,422
and running into the house
and grabbing people, you know?

122
00:03:43,456 --> 00:03:45,490
- And they're just grabbing things.
- True.

123
00:03:45,525 --> 00:03:47,159
No carts, all right?

124
00:03:47,193 --> 00:03:48,026
Oh... no carts.

125
00:03:48,661 --> 00:03:50,195
Let's play No Carts Allowed.

126
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:51,597
- That's always fun.
- [Guy] That'll be fun!

127
00:03:51,631 --> 00:03:52,698
Huh.

128
00:03:52,732 --> 00:03:54,499
[Guy] So go ahead and
stand in front of your carts.

129
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:56,168
Ah, this is good.

130
00:03:56,202 --> 00:03:57,269
Okay, so,

131
00:03:57,303 --> 00:03:58,604
we're gonna have you shop

132
00:03:58,638 --> 00:04:00,405
for everything you need to make

133
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,007
for your cheesy comfort dinner,

134
00:04:02,041 --> 00:04:05,577
and all you can do is use
your-- can't use your aprons,

135
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:08,480
- you can't go get a big bowl.
- [chuckles]

136
00:04:08,514 --> 00:04:09,581
- [Guy] Hunter, thank you very much.
- Yes.

137
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:11,350
I think I've got this from here.

138
00:04:11,384 --> 00:04:12,484
All right,<i> adios.</i>
Good luck guys.

139
00:04:12,518 --> 00:04:13,619
[intense music playing]

140
00:04:13,653 --> 00:04:15,921
It's not a fight, Ariel, okay?

141
00:04:15,955 --> 00:04:18,590
- [laughing] - Sorry, I
wrestled om high school.

142
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:19,391
[Guy] I know! And I feel like

143
00:04:19,425 --> 00:04:21,326
I'm about to get wrestled.

144
00:04:21,361 --> 00:04:22,861
If he came after me,

145
00:04:22,895 --> 00:04:24,363
you three would have to
support me.

146
00:04:24,397 --> 00:04:25,797
Or at least, I know that
you two would.

147
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:28,100
You're probably the one guy
that would...

148
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:29,368
[all chuckle]

149
00:04:29,402 --> 00:04:31,003
[Guy] Oh, I already said it

150
00:04:31,037 --> 00:04:31,670
a while ago,

151
00:04:31,704 --> 00:04:33,005
you're talking about that now.

152
00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:36,308
- "A while ago." Go, go, go!
- [Chris grunts] Oh no, that's good.

153
00:04:36,342 --> 00:04:38,410
- [Kelly chuckles] Oh!
- [claps]

154
00:04:38,444 --> 00:04:40,746
Oh, cheese, cheese, cheese,
cheese, cheese,

155
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:42,614
- cheese.
- [Guy] You know, no carts allowed

156
00:04:42,648 --> 00:04:43,548
is pretty tough.

157
00:04:43,583 --> 00:04:45,284
I hope this doesn't backfire.

158
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:46,318
[exclaims] Oh!

159
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:46,885
[rock music playing]

160
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:47,886
Bread.

161
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,489
[Ariel]<i> I have to make</i>
<i>a cheesy comfort dinner</i>

162
00:04:50,523 --> 00:04:53,091
featuring ingredients
that I can only carry.

163
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:53,625
[exclaiming] Whoo!

164
00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:55,460
<i>No pockets, no aprons,</i>

165
00:04:55,495 --> 00:04:56,795
just these guys right here.

166
00:04:56,829 --> 00:05:00,198
Gonna go get some of that
beautiful sharp cheddar, baby girl.

167
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:03,835
<i>Firefighters love carbohydrates
and they love cheese.</i>

168
00:05:03,870 --> 00:05:05,370
What better way to bring
the two together

169
00:05:05,405 --> 00:05:07,606
than with an adult
grilled cheese sandwich.

170
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,008
Bacon! Get some chorizo!

171
00:05:10,043 --> 00:05:10,609
Where's the honey?

172
00:05:10,643 --> 00:05:12,010
- [Guy] Honey?
- Honey.

173
00:05:12,045 --> 00:05:13,478
[Guy] Listen, darling,
right down here.

174
00:05:13,513 --> 00:05:16,481
I love the contrast
between sweet and savory,

175
00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:18,417
and I think a honey-butter

176
00:05:18,451 --> 00:05:21,253
<i>would bring my sandwich
to the next level.</i>

177
00:05:21,287 --> 00:05:22,354
That looks nice.

178
00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:24,890
[intense music playing]

179
00:05:24,924 --> 00:05:27,392
[Ariel]<i> I'm the kind of guy that
will refuse to make more than</i>

180
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:29,261
<i>one trip from my car
to the house</i>

181
00:05:29,295 --> 00:05:30,395
<i>when I'm carrying groceries.</i>

182
00:05:30,430 --> 00:05:31,630
Let's think of it
for one second.

183
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:33,565
So, I feel like a pro
playing No Carts Allowed.

184
00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:35,434
All right, we're good to go.

185
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:36,702
Have you tried the
prosciutto-stuffed peppers?

186
00:05:36,736 --> 00:05:37,836
- Those are--
- I have tried those.

187
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:39,604
- [Chris grunts]
- I try those all the time.

188
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:42,341
- [chuckles] You come by--
- He's gonna buy big!

189
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:43,909
- Cheesy.
- [Hunter] I got mac salad.

190
00:05:43,943 --> 00:05:46,345
[Chris]<i> When I think</i>
<i>of a cheesy comfort dinner,</i>

191
00:05:46,379 --> 00:05:47,412
I think of something
that's warm,

192
00:05:47,447 --> 00:05:49,348
that's going to keep
you going through the day.

193
00:05:49,382 --> 00:05:51,283
Now, I'mma need some bacon.

194
00:05:51,317 --> 00:05:53,185
Now, I'mma need...

195
00:05:53,486 --> 00:05:54,920
shrimp.

196
00:05:54,954 --> 00:05:57,489
<i>I know I can make shrimp
and grits pretty cheesy.</i>

197
00:05:57,523 --> 00:05:58,590
Quick, grits.

198
00:05:58,624 --> 00:06:00,592
We're going to town.

199
00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:02,461
<i>Not having a cart is challenging</i>

200
00:06:02,495 --> 00:06:04,363
<i>because it's kinda hard to</i>

201
00:06:04,397 --> 00:06:06,231
<i>look at everything that you have</i>

202
00:06:06,265 --> 00:06:07,532
<i>already in your arms</i>

203
00:06:07,567 --> 00:06:09,167
and not drop it.

204
00:06:10,236 --> 00:06:11,169
Think I'm ready to do it.

205
00:06:11,571 --> 00:06:12,537
Can you see...

206
00:06:12,572 --> 00:06:14,406
<i>This is going to be
extremely difficult</i>

207
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,575
because I am small.

208
00:06:16,609 --> 00:06:17,943
<i>So, I have to think of a dish</i>

209
00:06:17,977 --> 00:06:21,613
<i>that's not going to
include a lot of ingredients.</i>

210
00:06:21,647 --> 00:06:23,815
Stuffed flour, sugar...

211
00:06:23,850 --> 00:06:26,451
- [Guy] What we looking for?
- [Kelly] Um, bread crumbs.

212
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:27,652
[Guy] Bread crumbs, five.

213
00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:30,589
[Kelly]<i> When I think</i>
<i>of a cheesy comfort dinner,</i>

214
00:06:30,623 --> 00:06:32,557
<i>chicken parm is always my go-to.</i>

215
00:06:32,592 --> 00:06:34,893
<i>The guys at the firehouse
always love it.</i>

216
00:06:35,561 --> 00:06:37,996
<i>I run and grab fresh pasta,</i>

217
00:06:38,431 --> 00:06:39,865
<i>marinara sauce.</i>

218
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:43,301
<i>Gonna make sure I have
parmesan mozzarella.</i>

219
00:06:43,336 --> 00:06:44,369
[Guy] There we go.

220
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:46,004
How are you feeling? You got it?

221
00:06:46,038 --> 00:06:47,706
[Kelly] I feel like it's
easier to be a firefighter

222
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:50,375
than to be a chef
on this show. [chuckles]

223
00:06:50,410 --> 00:06:51,443
[Justin]<i> Lots of cheese.</i>

224
00:06:51,477 --> 00:06:52,644
<i>Cheesy comfort dinner.</i>

225
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:54,646
<i>I'm thinking, let's get
some chicken breasts,</i>

226
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,382
<i>peppers and then,
cheesy mashed potatoes.</i>

227
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,817
<i>I wanna grab all
these ingredients</i>

228
00:06:58,851 --> 00:06:59,751
<i>to make a great meal.</i>

229
00:06:59,786 --> 00:07:01,686
But it's gonna be tough,
just using my arms.

230
00:07:01,721 --> 00:07:03,321
I'm struggling
over here. [chuckles]

231
00:07:03,623 --> 00:07:04,556
[sighs]

232
00:07:04,590 --> 00:07:06,925
[Guy] So, here to judge
our firehouse cooks

233
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,428
are a panel with a burning
passion for great food.

234
00:07:09,462 --> 00:07:10,796
Respected food critic,

235
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:12,497
who has eaten his way
through almost

236
00:07:12,532 --> 00:07:13,598
100 countries,

237
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:16,635
the one and only,
Sir Simon Majumdar.

238
00:07:16,669 --> 00:07:20,305
- Hello.
- [Guy] Acclaimed executive chef and culinary rock star,

239
00:07:20,339 --> 00:07:22,474
the Volt Chef,
Michael Voltaggio!

240
00:07:22,508 --> 00:07:23,608
[Guy] Southern California
restauranteur,

241
00:07:23,643 --> 00:07:25,510
the warrior princess herself,

242
00:07:25,545 --> 00:07:27,279
Antonia Lofaso.

243
00:07:27,313 --> 00:07:28,480
Anyhow, firefighters,

244
00:07:28,514 --> 00:07:30,849
they're spending a tremendous
amount of time

245
00:07:30,883 --> 00:07:32,584
- to getting those firehouses together.
- [Antonio] Yeah.

246
00:07:32,618 --> 00:07:34,553
So, whoever's the resident cook,

247
00:07:34,587 --> 00:07:36,755
- that's a big deal.
- It's a family.

248
00:07:37,557 --> 00:07:39,591
[Guy] Chefs, we've got
25 minutes!

249
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:41,393
Twenty-five to go!

250
00:07:41,427 --> 00:07:43,762
- Uh...
- [Guy] What's your game plan?

251
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:46,765
[Kelly] I'm gonna make
a extra, extra cheesy

252
00:07:46,799 --> 00:07:51,970
chicken parmesan with
extra cheesy parmesan noodles.

253
00:07:52,004 --> 00:07:53,805
Good. You need to make
sure it is cheesy and cheesy,

254
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,374
- front and center.
- [Kelly] Yes, sir.

255
00:07:56,409 --> 00:07:59,277
<i>So, I start by pounding out
the chicken breast nice and thin.</i>

256
00:07:59,312 --> 00:08:00,278
[thudding]

257
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,347
[Kelly]<i> I get the flour,</i>
<i>to start dredging it.</i>

258
00:08:02,381 --> 00:08:03,882
Getting ready to dip my...

259
00:08:03,916 --> 00:08:05,517
[gasps] Oh, I forgot the eggs!

260
00:08:05,551 --> 00:08:08,053
Does anybody have eggs?
Does anybody have eggs?

261
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:09,554
No eggs, sorry.

262
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:11,356
Oh, no. Crap.

263
00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:12,591
Now, I have to figure it out.

264
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:15,660
So, how am I supposed to
make a dredge without eggs?

265
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:17,863
The guys are really gonna
love this one.

266
00:08:18,297 --> 00:08:20,966
[siren wailing]

267
00:08:22,168 --> 00:08:24,236
[siren wailing]

268
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:25,470
[intense music playing]

269
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,172
20 minutes, chefs.

270
00:08:27,206 --> 00:08:27,939
Twenty to go!

271
00:08:28,574 --> 00:08:30,342
They don't have their carts,

272
00:08:30,376 --> 00:08:32,410
and they can only shop once.

273
00:08:32,445 --> 00:08:33,812
Chef Kelly forgot eggs,

274
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:36,414
and now she's trying to do
a three-breading process.

275
00:08:36,449 --> 00:08:37,582
She just seasoned bread crumb,

276
00:08:37,617 --> 00:08:38,617
she's got flour.

277
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:41,486
She doesn't have
that connector that fat.

278
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:43,588
[Kelly]<i> I really have to</i>
<i>improvise here.</i>

279
00:08:43,623 --> 00:08:45,423
<i>So, I mixed some flour</i>

280
00:08:45,458 --> 00:08:46,858
<i>and water to make</i>

281
00:08:46,893 --> 00:08:50,562
starchy base that kind of
resembled eggs,

282
00:08:50,596 --> 00:08:52,330
<i>and hope it works.</i>

283
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:55,033
Improvising at its finest.

284
00:08:55,067 --> 00:08:56,501
What are you cooking
over there, Chris?

285
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:58,370
A super cheesy,

286
00:08:58,404 --> 00:09:00,372
southern-style shrimp and grits.

287
00:09:00,406 --> 00:09:01,540
Of course, you would,

288
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:03,341
- Hottlanta!
- [Chris laughs]

289
00:09:03,376 --> 00:09:04,543
Gotta keep it southern.

290
00:09:04,577 --> 00:09:06,556
I got mozzarella, I got Gouda,

291
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:08,480
I got cheddar, I got Colby

292
00:09:08,514 --> 00:09:10,048
and I got parmesan.

293
00:09:10,583 --> 00:09:11,750
It's gonna be cheesy.

294
00:09:11,784 --> 00:09:13,785
<i>First thing I can start on
is cooking down that bacon.</i>

295
00:09:13,819 --> 00:09:16,388
<i>I need the fat
to start my sauce.</i>

296
00:09:16,422 --> 00:09:18,356
Put this bacon ringer down.

297
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,724
<i>I am the main chef
for our station,</i>

298
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,760
cooking in the firehouse
is literally like

299
00:09:21,794 --> 00:09:24,429
<i>cooking in front of
eight judges every shift.</i>

300
00:09:24,463 --> 00:09:25,697
<i>And my food is so good</i>

301
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:28,400
that often times, firefighters
show up on their off-days.

302
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:30,602
How we looking, bud?

303
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:32,003
[Chris] We're doing pretty good.

304
00:09:32,038 --> 00:09:33,605
I got two different pots.
So I got seafood started

305
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:36,041
that I'm going to use
to make shrimp root.

306
00:09:36,075 --> 00:09:37,342
Then, I got
regular water to put in grits.

307
00:09:37,376 --> 00:09:40,145
- When are you making the grits?
- [Chris] You know, right now.

308
00:09:42,281 --> 00:09:43,682
[thuds]

309
00:09:43,716 --> 00:09:44,783
Chef, what's on the menu?

310
00:09:44,817 --> 00:09:47,619
I'm gonna do
a little, uh, grilled chicken,

311
00:09:47,653 --> 00:09:48,687
- lot of cheese...
- Okay.

312
00:09:48,721 --> 00:09:50,522
[Justin] ...mashed potatoes
with cheese.

313
00:09:50,556 --> 00:09:51,856
[Guy] Potatoes with cheese,
we need.

314
00:09:51,891 --> 00:09:54,326
And then, do a little bit of
peppers and stuff on the side

315
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,594
- with some cheese.
- [Guy] Okay.

316
00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:57,762
- Cheese, cheese and more cheese.
- Yes, sir.

317
00:09:57,797 --> 00:10:00,165
I became a firefighter
in the military.

318
00:10:00,199 --> 00:10:03,435
<i>And then, my career's
only progressed from there.</i>

319
00:10:03,469 --> 00:10:05,570
Now, I'm Chief. I don't know
who put me in charge

320
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:06,905
<i>but here I am.</i>

321
00:10:07,406 --> 00:10:08,807
<i>I flip my chicken,</i>

322
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:09,841
<i>I need to seal
some of that moisture in,</i>

323
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:12,310
<i>so I cover them up
on top of the grill.</i>

324
00:10:13,479 --> 00:10:14,613
Okay, Ariel, what's it
gonna be, buddy?

325
00:10:14,647 --> 00:10:16,748
We're making an adult
grilled cheese sandwich,

326
00:10:16,782 --> 00:10:17,882
some honey butter love sauce.

327
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:20,952
Oh, I love honey butter
love sauce, whatever that is.

328
00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:21,953
- Lot of cheese?
- Lot of cheese.

329
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:23,855
- We're gonna make some magic happen.
- Okay.

330
00:10:23,889 --> 00:10:25,457
[Ariel]<i> The first thing</i>
<i>I'm thinking is</i>

331
00:10:25,491 --> 00:10:28,259
I gotta get that Chorizo
rendering and crisping up.

332
00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:29,361
This stuff is amazing.

333
00:10:29,395 --> 00:10:31,763
There is so much flavor in here.

334
00:10:31,797 --> 00:10:34,332
<i>In another pan,
I'm throwing some diced onions</i>

335
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:35,367
<i>with some butter.</i>

336
00:10:35,401 --> 00:10:37,802
Get these bad boys
caramelizing a little bit.

337
00:10:37,837 --> 00:10:41,272
Then, we're going to get our
honey butter love sauce rolling.

338
00:10:41,307 --> 00:10:42,641
<i>I begin melting some honey</i>

339
00:10:42,675 --> 00:10:43,742
<i>and some butter lightly.</i>

340
00:10:43,776 --> 00:10:45,910
<i>So, I wanna form it into
a nice, solid drizzle</i>

341
00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:47,512
that I'll put it on my sandwich
when it's done cooking.

342
00:10:47,546 --> 00:10:48,880
Sweet!

343
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,716
I became a firefighter because
I felt like I needed to do my part.

344
00:10:51,751 --> 00:10:55,320
<i>Watching the wildfires rage
through the community that I love,</i>

345
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:56,688
it was a big wake-up call
for me.

346
00:10:56,722 --> 00:10:59,491
I felt like the fire service,
you go into it a boy

347
00:10:59,525 --> 00:11:01,760
and you come out of it a man.

348
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:03,294
Chefs, we got nine minutes.

349
00:11:03,329 --> 00:11:04,896
Nine left in the competition.

350
00:11:04,930 --> 00:11:07,666
[Antonia] I feel like all of these
firefighters are keeping calm.

351
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,801
They are used to
putting out fires.

352
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:11,202
[Guy] Get moving, Chef.

353
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:12,303
Get that cheese cut up,

354
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,271
you got a lot going on.

355
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:14,806
[Kelly] Yes, sir.

356
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,741
<i>My chicken is frying up
in the pan.</i>

357
00:11:16,776 --> 00:11:18,877
<i>I flip it over
and it looks good.</i>

358
00:11:18,911 --> 00:11:21,846
<i>They said cheesy,
so I'm gonna give them cheesy.</i>

359
00:11:21,881 --> 00:11:24,382
And make sure that there's
that nice cheese pull

360
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:25,984
<i>when they take a bite.</i>

361
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:28,286
<i>I'm a firefighter EMT,</i>

362
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,454
double threat, baby.

363
00:11:29,488 --> 00:11:30,922
<i>I was always
an adrenaline junkie.</i>

364
00:11:30,956 --> 00:11:33,591
<i>As soon as I got to
ride along in the fire truck,</i>

365
00:11:33,626 --> 00:11:34,659
it had me hooked.

366
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:36,928
[intense music playing]

367
00:11:37,296 --> 00:11:38,797
[crackling]

368
00:11:38,831 --> 00:11:39,798
[Justin]<i> My chicken's grilling,</i>

369
00:11:39,832 --> 00:11:41,866
and once the chicken looks
just right,

370
00:11:41,901 --> 00:11:44,302
<i>I'm gonna get that
sharp cheddar on there,</i>

371
00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:46,504
<i>get the slice of pepper jack on.</i>

372
00:11:46,539 --> 00:11:47,605
<i>Then, I get them in
the Salamander</i>

373
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,708
<i>to get that cheese melted
on top of that chicken.</i>

374
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:52,310
[Antonia] We're getting
a double stacking of cheese

375
00:11:52,344 --> 00:11:54,079
by Justin in kitchen one.

376
00:11:54,113 --> 00:11:54,913
Yes!

377
00:11:54,947 --> 00:11:55,847
Ooh. [crackling]

378
00:11:55,881 --> 00:11:58,450
<i>Next, my mashed potatoes,
I strain them,</i>

379
00:11:58,484 --> 00:12:00,051
<i>then get them into
the food processor.</i>

380
00:12:00,553 --> 00:12:01,986
<i>I add heavy cream.</i>

381
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:05,390
<i>And then, I'm starting
putting all the cheeses in there.</i>

382
00:12:05,424 --> 00:12:07,125
[Michael] Justin has potatoes,

383
00:12:07,159 --> 00:12:09,961
and a whole lot of cheese in
the food processor right now.

384
00:12:10,529 --> 00:12:11,596
[Justin]<i> I'm bringing it.</i>

385
00:12:11,630 --> 00:12:14,232
Cheese, cheese, cheese
and more cheese.

386
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:15,567
[amusing music playing]

387
00:12:15,601 --> 00:12:16,868
I'm gonna get my shrimp!

388
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:18,737
<i>The next thing I get going
is my shrimp.</i>

389
00:12:18,771 --> 00:12:19,804
<i>I go ahead and get that seasoned</i>

390
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:21,539
with that Creole
seasoning that I got.

391
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,341
[sizzling]

392
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:24,142
[banging]

393
00:12:24,176 --> 00:12:25,610
Once I see my shrimp
started to cook,

394
00:12:25,644 --> 00:12:26,911
<i>I don't want it
to get overcooked.</i>

395
00:12:26,946 --> 00:12:29,581
<i>I take them out, and I go
ahead and start adding my flour</i>

396
00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:30,615
<i>to thicken my sauce.</i>

397
00:12:30,649 --> 00:12:32,650
Little bit of roux going here.

398
00:12:32,685 --> 00:12:34,919
<i>Then, I'm gonna follow that
up with the seafood style.</i>

399
00:12:34,954 --> 00:12:37,422
<i>Making sure that it's light
and smooth and rich</i>

400
00:12:37,456 --> 00:12:38,790
<i>to coat the grits.</i>

401
00:12:38,824 --> 00:12:42,427
<i>These grits are gonna be the
cheesy components of my dish.</i>

402
00:12:42,461 --> 00:12:44,429
<i>I'm adding a whole block
of smoked Gouda,</i>

403
00:12:44,463 --> 00:12:45,663
<i>a whole bag of cheddar.</i>

404
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:47,499
<i>This is a cheesy challenge,</i>

405
00:12:47,533 --> 00:12:49,434
so I gotta make sure
I bring home the cheddar.

406
00:12:49,468 --> 00:12:50,602
[laughs]

407
00:12:50,636 --> 00:12:51,736
There's some cheese.

408
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:54,339
[Chris] You said cheesy,
you're getting cheesy.

409
00:12:54,373 --> 00:12:55,673
[Guy] So, tell me about grits,

410
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:57,208
been eating
since you were a kid?

411
00:12:57,243 --> 00:12:57,742
[Chris] All my life.

412
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:58,843
<i>I became a firefighter</i>

413
00:12:58,878 --> 00:13:01,346
because I wanted to make
a difference in the community.

414
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:02,714
<i>Station 16 is pretty famous.</i>

415
00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:04,949
<i>It's the first firehouse
that Black firefighters</i>

416
00:13:04,984 --> 00:13:07,452
<i>were allowed to work at,
for the city.</i>

417
00:13:07,486 --> 00:13:09,654
Oh, my God, time is flying.

418
00:13:09,688 --> 00:13:11,689
[dramatic music playing]

419
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,391
Yeah, we're doing pretty good.

420
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:15,193
Got our prep work done.

421
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:17,095
Move on to assembly.

422
00:13:17,129 --> 00:13:18,596
<i>So, now it's time
to build my sandwich.</i>

423
00:13:18,631 --> 00:13:21,466
<i>Get my sourdough
and start piling on my cheese,</i>

424
00:13:21,500 --> 00:13:23,434
<i>my bacon, my Chorizo, my onions.</i>

425
00:13:25,471 --> 00:13:27,772
<i>I'm running low on time and I
wanna make sure that cheese melts.</i>

426
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:30,508
<i>So, I'm getting it in the oven
as fast as possible.</i>

427
00:13:30,543 --> 00:13:33,311
Every one of these dishes
has a critical piece:

428
00:13:33,345 --> 00:13:34,546
<i>mashed potatoes in one,</i>

429
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:36,281
<i>too mashed, too gummy.</i>

430
00:13:36,315 --> 00:13:38,149
<i>Pasta, could be overcooked.</i>

431
00:13:38,184 --> 00:13:40,051
<i>Grits, doesn't have enough
moisture, did it get cooked enough?</i>

432
00:13:40,085 --> 00:13:43,588
<i>And in four, is he gonna be able to
melt the cheese for the sandwich?</i>

433
00:13:43,622 --> 00:13:45,323
All the critical
success factors.

434
00:13:46,192 --> 00:13:47,225
Two minutes!

435
00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:48,726
[Kelly]<i> I start plating.</i>

436
00:13:48,761 --> 00:13:51,696
<i>First goes my cheesy pasta
onto the plate.</i>

437
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:54,399
<i>I make sure to sprinkle it
with more cheese</i>

438
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:56,434
because they want
all of the cheese.

439
00:13:56,468 --> 00:13:58,269
<i>I pull my chicken from the oven</i>

440
00:13:58,304 --> 00:13:59,537
<i>and it looks perfect.</i>

441
00:13:59,572 --> 00:14:02,407
<i>The cheese on it is glorious.</i>

442
00:14:02,441 --> 00:14:03,374
Ooh!

443
00:14:03,409 --> 00:14:04,342
[clanging]

444
00:14:04,376 --> 00:14:05,443
[Michael] Kelly does have
that stretch,

445
00:14:05,477 --> 00:14:07,212
that pull that we were
looking for.

446
00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:08,213
Oh yeah.

447
00:14:10,716 --> 00:14:12,584
[Justin]<i> Ooh,</i>
<i>I gotta start plating.</i>

448
00:14:12,618 --> 00:14:16,588
<i>First, put down those
cheesy, gooey mashed potatoes.</i>

449
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:19,424
<i>Then, lay that grilled,
cheesy chicken</i>

450
00:14:19,458 --> 00:14:21,593
<i>right on the mashed potatoes.</i>

451
00:14:21,627 --> 00:14:24,262
<i>Lay the sauteed peppers
on top of all</i>

452
00:14:24,296 --> 00:14:25,496
<i>to get that nice color.</i>

453
00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:27,265
<i>And then, to top it off,</i>

454
00:14:27,299 --> 00:14:28,333
<i>parmesan.</i>

455
00:14:29,501 --> 00:14:30,835
One minute, chefs!

456
00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:32,337
[Chris] Let's go get that last

457
00:14:32,838 --> 00:14:33,872
cheesy little kick.

458
00:14:33,906 --> 00:14:35,840
<i>Now that it's time to plate,
I taste my grits,</i>

459
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,508
<i>they're cheesy
and they're ready to go.</i>

460
00:14:37,543 --> 00:14:39,043
[thudding]

461
00:14:39,078 --> 00:14:41,179
[Chris]<i> Go ahead and get
my shrimp back into my sauce.</i>

462
00:14:41,213 --> 00:14:42,747
[music intensifies]

463
00:14:42,781 --> 00:14:43,882
[Chris]<i> I put it over my grits.</i>

464
00:14:43,916 --> 00:14:46,551
<i>I go ahead and top that
with a little bit of bacon</i>

465
00:14:46,585 --> 00:14:47,518
<i>and some green onion.</i>

466
00:14:48,754 --> 00:14:50,555
[Ariel]<i> When I pull my
sandwiches out of the oven,</i>

467
00:14:50,623 --> 00:14:51,923
<i>I notice that they haven't
melted fully.</i>

468
00:14:51,957 --> 00:14:54,559
<i>But we're gonna make
the best of our circumstances</i>

469
00:14:54,593 --> 00:14:55,793
<i>'cause that's what
firefighters do.</i>

470
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:58,596
<i>And drizzle off with some
honey butter love sauce.</i>

471
00:14:58,631 --> 00:15:01,833
[Guy shouting] Three, two, one!

472
00:15:01,867 --> 00:15:04,402
- That's it, chefs, stop working.
- [sighs]

473
00:15:04,436 --> 00:15:06,170
Whoo! [judges clapping]

474
00:15:06,205 --> 00:15:07,438
Oh!

475
00:15:07,473 --> 00:15:08,273
[Guy] How'd that feel?

476
00:15:08,307 --> 00:15:09,774
We can handle
multiple vehicle wrecks,

477
00:15:09,808 --> 00:15:12,577
we can handle house fires,
people screaming,

478
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:15,446
but you put us on the
clock in the kitchen,

479
00:15:15,481 --> 00:15:16,247
lord have mercy.

480
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:18,449
Looks cheesy!

481
00:15:18,484 --> 00:15:19,817
[Guy] All right, firefighters,

482
00:15:19,852 --> 00:15:22,387
it's time to stop,
drop and roll these dishes

483
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:24,956
right over to the judges,
follow me this way.

484
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:27,392
[siren wailing]

485
00:15:29,361 --> 00:15:31,629
[siren wailing]

486
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:34,832
Judges, this is game one
of our firefighter face-off.

487
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:36,734
I asked them to make
a cheesy comfort dinner

488
00:15:36,769 --> 00:15:39,771
using only ingredients
they can carry in their arms

489
00:15:39,805 --> 00:15:40,772
in one trip.

490
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:43,641
Up first is Chef Justin.
What'd you make for us?

491
00:15:43,676 --> 00:15:46,711
<i>I made my cheesy chicken
with some mashed potatoes,</i>

492
00:15:46,745 --> 00:15:48,646
<i>layered with multiple
types of cheese,</i>

493
00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:50,615
<i>and I grilled up
some peppers on there,</i>

494
00:15:50,649 --> 00:15:52,383
sprinkled some parmesan on top.

495
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:56,621
[Michael] First of all, I feel a
lot safer with you guys here

496
00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:58,723
because Antonia usually
sets the kitchen on fire

497
00:15:58,757 --> 00:16:00,525
- when she's cooking here.
- [laughing]

498
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:02,293
So, thank you, guys, for that.

499
00:16:02,328 --> 00:16:03,461
The chicken's cooked perfectly.

500
00:16:03,495 --> 00:16:04,429
Thank you.

501
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:06,397
I got so many different
flavors of cheese

502
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:08,266
yet it all makes sense together.

503
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:10,201
[Antonia] Is this
a cheesy dinner?

504
00:16:10,235 --> 00:16:11,235
A hundred percent.

505
00:16:11,270 --> 00:16:12,437
I think that the peppers

506
00:16:12,471 --> 00:16:14,605
add so much relief
because that spice is

507
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,441
- so wonderful.
- Thank you.

508
00:16:16,475 --> 00:16:18,576
You've been
a little rushed obviously,

509
00:16:18,610 --> 00:16:19,811
because of the competition.

510
00:16:19,845 --> 00:16:21,846
I'm afraid the mashed potatoes
did get a little bit glue-ey.

511
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,649
But when you have time to do
this as you would do normally,

512
00:16:24,683 --> 00:16:26,751
I'm certain this is
a firehouse favorite.

513
00:16:26,785 --> 00:16:27,685
Thank you.

514
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,487
[Guy] All right, judges,
thank you very much.

515
00:16:29,521 --> 00:16:31,022
Up next, Chef Ariel.

516
00:16:31,056 --> 00:16:32,590
Generally speaking,
after a fire,

517
00:16:32,624 --> 00:16:34,859
we're pretty tired,
we're pretty carb depleted,

518
00:16:34,893 --> 00:16:36,194
we're pretty exhausted,

519
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:38,730
<i>So, we want a lot of carbohydrates,
we want a lot of cheese.</i>

520
00:16:38,764 --> 00:16:40,999
<i>So, I made an adult
grilled cheese.</i>

521
00:16:41,033 --> 00:16:44,769
<i>Took some Chorizo, then,
cut bacon, caramelized onions.</i>

522
00:16:44,803 --> 00:16:45,803
Sharp cheddar cheese,

523
00:16:45,838 --> 00:16:48,339
uh, made a little bit
of honey butter love sauce

524
00:16:48,374 --> 00:16:49,307
to finish it off.

525
00:16:50,642 --> 00:16:53,244
[Antonia] It's almost as if
you took a full meal,

526
00:16:53,278 --> 00:16:54,212
put it into a sandwich

527
00:16:54,246 --> 00:16:55,713
and, like, ran with it.

528
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:57,915
The honey love sauce,
really, really good.

529
00:16:57,950 --> 00:16:58,783
Thank you.

530
00:16:58,817 --> 00:17:01,386
This is as cheesy
as a Meg Ryan rom-com.

531
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:02,854
I'm getting a little bit
of a crunch from some,

532
00:17:02,888 --> 00:17:05,456
I'm getting a little bit of
creaminess from other.

533
00:17:05,491 --> 00:17:07,725
[Michael] My only critique
is that,

534
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,260
when I eat a grilled cheese

535
00:17:09,294 --> 00:17:10,661
and the competition's cheesy,

536
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:13,364
I wanna see it like an
accordion in the sandwich.

537
00:17:13,399 --> 00:17:14,599
I don't want it
to disconnect, you know?

538
00:17:14,633 --> 00:17:16,534
I'll work on my
accordion skills next time.

539
00:17:16,568 --> 00:17:17,568
[Guy] Thank you very much!

540
00:17:17,603 --> 00:17:19,604
Up next, Chef Kelly.

541
00:17:19,638 --> 00:17:21,272
When I think of comfort,

542
00:17:21,306 --> 00:17:22,407
<i>it's gotta be Italian.</i>

543
00:17:22,441 --> 00:17:24,075
<i>For your cheesy comfort dinner,</i>

544
00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:28,012
<i>I made you chicken parm
with extra cheesy pasta.</i>

545
00:17:29,148 --> 00:17:29,781
Enjoy.

546
00:17:30,983 --> 00:17:34,519
What kind of happy heaven
are you in right now, Antonia?

547
00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:36,721
I saw, I don't even wanna
look at this.

548
00:17:36,755 --> 00:17:39,290
Um, Chef Voltaggio,
what are your thoughts?

549
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:40,425
It's obvious what you do
for a living

550
00:17:40,459 --> 00:17:42,460
because this is fire!

551
00:17:42,494 --> 00:17:44,228
- This is...
- Oh!

552
00:17:44,263 --> 00:17:45,263
[yells]

553
00:17:45,297 --> 00:17:46,431
[chuckles] Fire!

554
00:17:46,465 --> 00:17:49,400
You didn't have the eggs
for your breading the stick,

555
00:17:49,435 --> 00:17:50,768
yet we still have a crust.

556
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:52,970
You really, like, navigated
your way through

557
00:17:53,005 --> 00:17:55,540
every sort of obstacle
that you had,

558
00:17:55,574 --> 00:17:57,275
and I think you delivered
a great dish.

559
00:17:57,309 --> 00:17:57,909
[Kelly] Thank you, Chef.

560
00:17:57,943 --> 00:17:58,843
Adapt and overcome,

561
00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:01,179
that's what we're all
good at, [chuckles]

562
00:18:01,213 --> 00:18:03,614
[Antonia] This is a beautifully
cooked chicken breast.

563
00:18:03,649 --> 00:18:05,716
That fresh pasta
is cooked perfectly.

564
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:07,552
I did get that
beautiful cheese pull.

565
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:09,887
[Simon] But I think you put
a little bit too much tomato

566
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:10,721
in here, on the pasta.

567
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:12,457
So, it becomes almost
a tomato dish,

568
00:18:12,491 --> 00:18:14,492
and that battles
against the cheese.

569
00:18:14,526 --> 00:18:15,726
Not to be outdone though,

570
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:18,563
all the way from Hotlanta,
Chef Christopher's up next.

571
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:21,699
We work long hours,
need to be full all day long.

572
00:18:21,733 --> 00:18:24,335
<i>And it doesn't get more cheesy
and comfy</i>

573
00:18:24,369 --> 00:18:25,536
<i>than a shrimp and grits.</i>

574
00:18:25,571 --> 00:18:27,371
<i>I made a three-cheese grit</i>

575
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:29,407
with a shrimp sauce
poured over the top.

576
00:18:30,175 --> 00:18:31,109
You guys enjoy.

577
00:18:33,011 --> 00:18:35,480
[Antonia] One of the most beautiful
plates that we've seen today.

578
00:18:35,514 --> 00:18:37,782
- The shrimp are cooked perfectly.
- [Chris] Thank you.

579
00:18:37,816 --> 00:18:39,250
The shrimp sauce is incredible.

580
00:18:39,284 --> 00:18:40,618
Thank you. Appreciate it.

581
00:18:40,652 --> 00:18:42,620
[Michael] And the fact that you
did that in the time that you had,

582
00:18:42,654 --> 00:18:43,721
blown away.

583
00:18:43,755 --> 00:18:46,090
It's definitely comforting,
it's definitely dinner.

584
00:18:46,658 --> 00:18:48,493
And I saw you taking care

585
00:18:48,527 --> 00:18:49,494
of those grits, man.

586
00:18:49,528 --> 00:18:51,729
You really put the cheesiness
into that.

587
00:18:51,763 --> 00:18:53,798
[Antonia] The grits,
I get the flavor of cheese.

588
00:18:53,832 --> 00:18:55,566
I just think the consistency
of it needed

589
00:18:55,601 --> 00:18:57,468
some water or some cream
or something like that.

590
00:18:57,503 --> 00:18:58,736
- Thank you.
- People are sitting there,

591
00:18:58,770 --> 00:19:01,305
watching this right now,
thinking, "How do I get to

592
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:03,274
a firefighter restaurant?"

593
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:04,542
Dynamite low conditions

594
00:19:04,576 --> 00:19:05,877
and super difficult competition,

595
00:19:05,911 --> 00:19:07,778
I'm gonna ask you to
return back to the kitchens.

596
00:19:07,813 --> 00:19:09,514
We'll call you
when we have a decision.

597
00:19:09,548 --> 00:19:10,948
Thank you very much.

598
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,651
So, judges, whose dish
was most distinguished,

599
00:19:13,685 --> 00:19:17,021
and whose hopes
are getting extinguished?

600
00:19:17,456 --> 00:19:18,723
Chef Kelly.

601
00:19:18,757 --> 00:19:19,690
[Michael] I thought Kelly did
an incredible job,

602
00:19:19,725 --> 00:19:20,992
I think she made
a comforting dish.

603
00:19:21,026 --> 00:19:23,828
I just think there needed to
be something fresh on the dish.

604
00:19:23,862 --> 00:19:27,231
[Simon] Chef Justin delivered a
magnificently cooked piece of chicken breast.

605
00:19:27,266 --> 00:19:29,600
Cheesy, little bit clunky
on the execution.

606
00:19:29,635 --> 00:19:30,701
[Guy] Chef Christopher.

607
00:19:30,736 --> 00:19:32,670
I loved the shrimp and grits.

608
00:19:32,704 --> 00:19:34,505
[Simon] But I do think
it could've been finished

609
00:19:34,540 --> 00:19:36,774
with something, just to bring
the cheesiness out.

610
00:19:36,808 --> 00:19:37,875
Okay. Chef Ariel.

611
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:40,611
Somehow, all of the
components of an entire dinner

612
00:19:40,646 --> 00:19:41,812
was, somehow, in a sandwich.

613
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:44,615
I think Chef Ariel
struggled with execution.

614
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:46,317
Okay, total them up.

615
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:48,352
Remember, 20 points in taste,

616
00:19:48,387 --> 00:19:49,687
20 points in gameplay

617
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:52,290
and ten points available
in plating.

618
00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:56,360
[siren wailing]

619
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:00,998
[siren wailing]

620
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:03,067
[Guy] Outstanding job.

621
00:20:03,101 --> 00:20:05,336
Unfortunately though,
the lowest score,

622
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:06,537
out of our firefighters,

623
00:20:06,572 --> 00:20:08,272
will be rolling out.

624
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:10,308
Chef Justin, up first.

625
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,077
15 in gameplay,

626
00:20:13,445 --> 00:20:15,146
16 in taste,

627
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:16,314
seven in plating,

628
00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:17,248
total of 38.

629
00:20:17,616 --> 00:20:19,150
Chef Kelly.

630
00:20:19,184 --> 00:20:20,418
17 in gameplay!

631
00:20:21,353 --> 00:20:22,887
17 in taste,

632
00:20:23,322 --> 00:20:24,488
eight in plating,

633
00:20:24,523 --> 00:20:26,324
for a 42.

634
00:20:26,358 --> 00:20:28,159
You definitely won't
be going home.

635
00:20:29,328 --> 00:20:30,494
Chef Christopher.

636
00:20:30,529 --> 00:20:32,396
15 in gameplay,

637
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:35,833
17 in taste,

638
00:20:35,867 --> 00:20:37,168
one point ahead of
Justin right now.

639
00:20:37,603 --> 00:20:39,570
Eight in plating,

640
00:20:39,605 --> 00:20:40,705
for a total of 40.

641
00:20:40,739 --> 00:20:43,140
- [all clapping] - [Guy]
Wild man out of Sebastopol,

642
00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:44,342
Ariel.

643
00:20:44,376 --> 00:20:45,676
Better than 38, you stay.

644
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:47,945
Lower than 38, you go home.

645
00:20:48,513 --> 00:20:49,780
Fourteen in gameplay,

646
00:20:50,782 --> 00:20:53,384
15 in taste, you're
gonna have to pull here.

647
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:55,553
Six in plating,

648
00:20:55,587 --> 00:20:57,855
for a total of 35.

649
00:20:57,889 --> 00:20:58,656
There you have it.

650
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:00,925
That puts Chef Ariel
in the bottom.

651
00:21:01,727 --> 00:21:03,628
I'm a huge fan
of first responders,

652
00:21:03,662 --> 00:21:05,429
and I can't say
thank you enough.

653
00:21:06,365 --> 00:21:07,732
With that, I say, Chef Ariel,

654
00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:09,600
there's no way
I'm sending you home.

655
00:21:09,635 --> 00:21:12,370
- Okay? You're gonna stay and play.
- [all clapping]

656
00:21:13,505 --> 00:21:15,506
I'm not sending this guy home.

657
00:21:15,540 --> 00:21:17,441
He got involved
to being a firefighter

658
00:21:17,476 --> 00:21:18,609
because he wanted
to do something

659
00:21:18,644 --> 00:21:19,577
to help this community,

660
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:21,312
so he volunteers in Sebastopol,

661
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:23,514
which is right down the
road from Flavortown market,

662
00:21:23,548 --> 00:21:24,882
so I can't send you home.

663
00:21:24,916 --> 00:21:25,816
It's not a high score,

664
00:21:25,851 --> 00:21:27,652
and you're gonna have to
work your butt off.

665
00:21:27,686 --> 00:21:29,487
Second round is coming up!

666
00:21:29,521 --> 00:21:32,023
Chefs, firefighters,
back to your carts. Good luck!

667
00:21:34,192 --> 00:21:34,692
All right, this round

668
00:21:34,726 --> 00:21:35,860
is going to determine

669
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:38,562
who gets to shop at Flavortown
market for up to $20,000.

670
00:21:38,597 --> 00:21:41,399
So, for this final dish,

671
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,669
I want you to make the judges

672
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:48,339
an international
firehouse favorite.

673
00:21:48,373 --> 00:21:49,640
Could be Asian, Italian...

674
00:21:49,675 --> 00:21:51,275
- Scandinavian.
- ...Mexican, German,

675
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:52,410
could be Canadian.

676
00:21:52,444 --> 00:21:53,644
Thank you, Hunter,

677
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:55,313
not enough people
give a shout out

678
00:21:55,347 --> 00:21:56,614
- to the Canadians...
- [laughs]

679
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:58,416
- ...for their international player.
- I didn't say Canadian,

680
00:21:58,450 --> 00:21:59,483
I said Scandinavian.

681
00:21:59,518 --> 00:22:00,518
Or Canadian.

682
00:22:00,552 --> 00:22:02,053
Scandinavian and Canadian.

683
00:22:02,087 --> 00:22:03,721
- They have, they met the... in there.
- Okay.

684
00:22:03,755 --> 00:22:06,257
- All these...
- [Guy] Okay, 30 minutes, chefs,

685
00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:10,061
to make your international
firehouse favorite.

686
00:22:10,562 --> 00:22:11,629
What's the smirk?

687
00:22:11,663 --> 00:22:12,630
I'm just starting to talk

688
00:22:12,664 --> 00:22:14,532
- and all this--
- I just know.

689
00:22:14,566 --> 00:22:15,566
I'm getting this full...

690
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,801
- I know.
- Must be something.

691
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:19,437
I'm trying to get some
firefighter nomenclature here,

692
00:22:19,471 --> 00:22:21,439
I'm trying to get some,
like in the 911...

693
00:22:21,473 --> 00:22:22,606
- Right.
- ...about what goes on in here.

694
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:24,475
The 411, I should say, excu--

695
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:25,543
You just said it.

696
00:22:25,577 --> 00:22:26,544
What, what is that?

697
00:22:26,578 --> 00:22:28,579
That's not three, two, one, go!

698
00:22:28,613 --> 00:22:30,314
- That's skip--
- Three, two, one, go.

699
00:22:30,349 --> 00:22:33,150
[laughing maniacally]

700
00:22:34,686 --> 00:22:36,187
[Chris] Chicken breast.

701
00:22:36,221 --> 00:22:38,622
[action music playing]

702
00:22:38,657 --> 00:22:39,590
Rice, rice, rice, rice, rice.

703
00:22:39,624 --> 00:22:41,559
International firehouse
favorite, so,

704
00:22:41,593 --> 00:22:43,594
my mind's already thinking
that I'm gonna go Asian,

705
00:22:43,628 --> 00:22:46,330
<i>'cause I know I can do
an amazing stir-fry.</i>

706
00:22:47,833 --> 00:22:51,268
The perfect international
dish is a little bit of Asian

707
00:22:51,303 --> 00:22:52,536
and a little bit of Mexican.

708
00:22:52,571 --> 00:22:55,373
<i>Sweet Thai shrimp taco.</i>

709
00:22:55,407 --> 00:22:58,943
Oh, Hunter, see, I got so excited
about telling them three, two, one, go,

710
00:22:58,977 --> 00:23:01,345
I forgot to tell them
about the red light special!

711
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:02,480
Oh, they're gonna love this.

712
00:23:02,514 --> 00:23:04,582
International is going to be...

713
00:23:04,616 --> 00:23:08,519
I'm going to do my take on
a sweet and sour chicken dish.

714
00:23:08,553 --> 00:23:11,222
<i>But I got some really,
really good sea bass.</i>

715
00:23:11,623 --> 00:23:12,556
Instant rice!

716
00:23:12,591 --> 00:23:13,791
Let's grab that.

717
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:16,594
[Justin]<i> In the firehouse,</i>
<i>we do know how to make tacos.</i>

718
00:23:16,628 --> 00:23:18,195
<i>So, I'm thinking</i>

719
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:19,497

00:23:24,336 --> 00:23:25,336
Oh, great.

723
00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:26,637
Oh, no!

724
00:23:26,671 --> 00:23:30,274
Attention,
firefighters, shopper chefs,

725
00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:31,909
there is a red alarm fire.

726
00:23:31,943 --> 00:23:32,743
Red light special

727
00:23:32,778 --> 00:23:34,378
including something
from the Hot bar,

728
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:36,480
something from
the Grab N Go deli,

729
00:23:36,515 --> 00:23:39,250
- something from the Sour Cream section.
- [siren blaring]

730
00:23:39,284 --> 00:23:40,418
Some Fresno Peppers

731
00:23:40,452 --> 00:23:41,752
and some Canned Chili.

732
00:23:41,787 --> 00:23:44,488
You will notice
these red light special

733
00:23:44,523 --> 00:23:46,490
shining lights in
various aisles.

734
00:23:46,525 --> 00:23:48,559
Three of the five
red light aisles

735
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,494
must be incorporated
in your dish,

736
00:23:50,529 --> 00:23:52,930
and thank you for shopping
Flavortown market.

737
00:23:52,964 --> 00:23:56,467
You're gonna so
appreciate this and I'll never.

738
00:23:56,501 --> 00:23:57,601
[Justin]<i> So, five alarm fire,</i>

739
00:23:57,636 --> 00:24:00,638
<i>that is five sets of dispatcher,</i>

740
00:24:00,672 --> 00:24:02,106
which means that is a huge fire.

741
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:03,541
<i>That's hot.</i>

742
00:24:03,575 --> 00:24:05,476
So, I just ran around
looking for flashing lights.

743
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:06,544
[siren blaring]

744
00:24:06,578 --> 00:24:07,878
[Justin]<i> Never know</i>
<i>when a call's gonna come in.</i>

745
00:24:07,913 --> 00:24:10,681
So, we gotta get it cooked,
we gotta get it cooked quick.

746
00:24:10,715 --> 00:24:14,452
And tacos are an
international quick favorite.

747
00:24:14,486 --> 00:24:16,253
Oh, yeah, this is great.

748
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:18,222
<i>Grab the crab sour</i>

749
00:24:18,256 --> 00:24:19,256
<i>that's got shrimp in it.</i>

750
00:24:19,291 --> 00:24:20,825
It's a shrimp taco.

751
00:24:20,859 --> 00:24:24,495
All right, deli, where's the
other red light specials?

752
00:24:24,563 --> 00:24:25,763
<i>I'm going with
the Fresno peppers.</i>

753
00:24:25,797 --> 00:24:28,532
I'm thinking stuffed peppers
as our side.

754
00:24:28,567 --> 00:24:29,800
- Hey, Hunter.
- [Hunter] Anything from the hot bar?

755
00:24:29,835 --> 00:24:31,535
[Justin] Let's do this
coconut chicken.

756
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:32,636
- [Hunter] All right.
- [Justin]<i> Gonna do</i>

757
00:24:32,671 --> 00:24:34,672
the chicken, it'd be great
in the stuffed peppers

758
00:24:34,706 --> 00:24:37,074
<i>- with whipped cream cheese.</i>
- [Hunter] All right, here you go.

759
00:24:37,709 --> 00:24:39,443
[Ariel] Three to five items.

760
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:41,846
<i>For my international
firehouse favorite,</i>

761
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,113
<i>I'm going to make
sweet and sour sea bass.</i>

762
00:24:43,615 --> 00:24:44,582
Between the arrows.

763

<i>It is my take

Hey, chili, chili, chili.

769
00:24:56,695 --> 00:24:59,363
This is gonna be one... dish.

770
00:24:59,397 --> 00:25:01,966
Kelly has a 42, Ariel has a 35,

771
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,567
he's gotta catch up
by seven points

772
00:25:03,602 --> 00:25:05,503
to stay in this competition.

[Ariel]<i> If I'm gonna</i>
<i>win this thing,</i>

774
00:25:06,605 --> 00:25:08,339
I need to pull
some crazy hat-trick.

775
00:25:09,508 --> 00:25:11,742
[Kelly]<i> I'm going to make</i>
<i>Thai shrimp tacos</i>

776

<i>I'm grabbing sour cream

<i>My third red light special</i>

<i>I can't believe I got

Time to beat the boys.

785
00:25:29,294 --> 00:25:30,794
- [Guy] Okay?
- Okay.

786
00:25:31,530 --> 00:25:32,796
[Chris] Vegetarian chili beans.

787
00:25:32,831 --> 00:25:35,232
<i>I'm gonna make
an Asian-inspired stir fry</i>

with a spicy sauce.

789
00:25:36,401 --> 00:25:37,701
<i>And these will be
a nice addition</i>

790
00:25:37,736 --> 00:25:40,070
<i>to my vegetables in my stir fry.</i>

791
00:25:41,439 --> 00:25:42,806
<i>I see Fresno chilis,</i>

the heat with this.

00:25:44,709 --> 00:25:47,478
- Get all your red light special?
- Yeah, I got two out of three.

794
00:25:47,512 --> 00:25:48,779
Okay.

795
00:25:48,813 --> 00:25:50,981
[Hunter] You are moving,
grooving. What are you thinking here?

796
00:25:51,016 --> 00:25:52,716
- [Chris] Let me get some of that coconut chicken.
- All right. I like it.

797
00:25:52,751 --> 00:25:53,884
- [Chris] That's plenty.
- That's good?

798
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:56,620
- Appreciate it.
- All right, brother, yeah, good luck.

799
00:25:56,655 --> 00:25:58,556
[Simon]<i> I think, the
international kind of flavor</i>

800
00:25:58,590 --> 00:25:59,557
is really tough.

801
00:25:59,591 --> 00:26:00,691
Because it's so opening.

802
00:26:00,725 --> 00:26:03,427
But you might walk under
a red light and get inspired.

803
00:26:03,461 --> 00:26:04,461
[Guy] What's on the menu here?

804
00:26:04,496 --> 00:26:06,597
So, I'm doing my take
on sweet and sour fish.

805
00:26:06,631 --> 00:26:07,998
- Okay.
- [Ariel]<i> So first, I need to</i>

806
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:10,234
<i>slice my sea bass, to
the pieces that I wanted,</i>

807
00:26:10,268 --> 00:26:11,669
<i>and dredge it,</i>

808
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:13,337
<i>to ensure
a really crispy coating,</i>

809
00:26:13,371 --> 00:26:14,438
<i>and toss it in the fryer.</i>

810
00:26:14,472 --> 00:26:15,940
[sizzling]

811
00:26:15,974 --> 00:26:17,308
Next, I need to get working
on my sauce.

812
00:26:17,342 --> 00:26:21,278
<i>My dish is inspired by General
Tso's sweet and sour chicken.</i>

813
00:26:21,313 --> 00:26:22,580
General Ariel's fish.

815
00:26:24,115 --> 00:26:25,649
[Ariel]<i> So, I figured what
better way to highlight</i>

00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:28,485
<i>sour cream, red salsa and chili</i>

817
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,321
than to throw them
into my sauce.

818
00:26:30,355 --> 00:26:33,357
Today, we got some
Mexican flavor.

819
00:26:33,391 --> 00:26:34,725
- What is this concoction?
- It's... [laughs]

820
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:37,261
This is a sweet
and sour sauce...

821
00:26:37,295 --> 00:26:38,629
- Okay.
- ...that I'm trying to

822
00:26:38,663 --> 00:26:41,532
fit into the parameters
of the challenge.

823
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:44,902
Never done it with
the chili and salsa before.

824
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:47,571
<i>I'm way too many points behind.</i>

825
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:48,872
[Guy] Got the wildcard
over here.

826
00:26:48,907 --> 00:26:50,641
You know what they say,
"Fortune favors the bold."

827
00:26:50,675 --> 00:26:53,110
I really need to hit this
dish out of the park.

[Guy] Twenty-four minutes

00:27:04,022 --> 00:27:07,291
[Michael] We've got some international
firehouse favorites coming our way.

832
00:27:07,325 --> 00:27:09,994
[Guy]<i> Two in the Asian realm</i>
<i>and two in the Latin realm.</i>

833

[Antonia] There's a lot of seafood,
and there's a lot of canned chili

834
00:27:12,831 --> 00:27:15,265
- in this round.
- Well, you guys are gonna have

835
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:16,400

00:27:19,270 --> 00:27:20,204
Wow.

838
00:27:21,539 --> 00:27:22,539
What's the game plan?

839
00:27:22,574 --> 00:27:23,674
[Kelly] Got that guacamole,

840
00:27:23,708 --> 00:27:25,976
sour cream and chili beans.

841
00:27:26,811 --> 00:27:29,346
I am making you
a spicy shrimp taco

842
00:27:29,381 --> 00:27:31,115
with a corn salad.

843
00:27:31,383 --> 00:27:32,249
Okay.

844
00:27:32,283 --> 00:27:33,617
[Kelly]<i> I feel like everything</i>

845
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:35,753
that was under
the red light special

846
00:27:35,787 --> 00:27:36,754
<i>kind of played into my dish.</i>

847
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:39,423
<i>I tossed my dish
with some corn starch</i>

848
00:27:39,457 --> 00:27:40,491
<i>so they're nice and crispy,</i>

849
00:27:40,525 --> 00:27:42,493
and start frying them up.

850
00:27:42,527 --> 00:27:44,361
[Guy] So, you're cooking
the shrimp off.

851
00:27:44,396 --> 00:27:45,529
- Yes, sir.
- Great.

852
00:27:45,563 --> 00:27:47,197
Why are you making
so much dressing?

853
00:27:47,232 --> 00:27:48,432
To toss them in.

854
00:27:48,466 --> 00:27:50,401
It is sweet Thai chili and mayo.

855
00:27:51,403 --> 00:27:52,403
Ooh!

856
00:27:52,437 --> 00:27:53,570
Whose fried shrimp are those?

857
00:27:53,605 --> 00:27:54,738
Where are the fried shrimp?

858
00:27:54,773 --> 00:27:57,141
- [Simon] It's Kelly.
- [Antonia] Those fried shrimp

859
00:27:57,175 --> 00:27:58,275
look good.

860
00:27:58,309 --> 00:27:59,677

[Justin] Wanna do some
shrimp tacos

862

with some stuffed peppers.

863
00:28:03,415 --> 00:28:04,715
You got enough time
in 22 minutes?

864
00:28:04,749 --> 00:28:06,450
- [Justin] Absolutely.
- [Guy] Okay.

865
00:28:06,484 --> 00:28:08,686
So, I know the shrimp's
gonna cook really quick,

866
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,820
so I wanna start
with the peppers.

867
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:12,923
<i>Well, I got them
peppers grilling.</i>

868
00:28:12,957 --> 00:28:14,525
<i>I start on the filling
for my peppers.</i>

869
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:17,695
<i>Make some trees
with the whipped cream cheese,</i>

870
00:28:17,729 --> 00:28:20,764
<i>and then, add in some of the
rice from the coconut chicken.</i>

871
00:28:20,799 --> 00:28:22,633
Another five-alarm item.

872
00:28:22,667 --> 00:28:24,435
Chef Chris, what do
you got, buddy?

873
00:28:24,469 --> 00:28:26,370
[Chris] We're doing
a Asian-inspired stir fry

874
00:28:26,404 --> 00:28:27,805
with the sweet chili
hoisin sauce.

875
00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:29,540
- [Guy] Okay.
- [Chris] Sweet Thai chili,

876
00:28:29,574 --> 00:28:30,507
a little bit of
right amount of vinegar.

877
00:28:30,542 --> 00:28:31,809
Got it.

878
00:28:31,843 --> 00:28:34,211
[Chris]<i> My firehouse, you can
eat this sauce with anything.</i>

879
00:28:34,245 --> 00:28:35,646
<i>Salmon, chicken, meatloaf,</i>

880
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,081
a shoe, it doesn't matter.

881
00:28:38,383 --> 00:28:39,450
[Guy] That's tasty.

882
00:28:39,484 --> 00:28:41,385
[Chris]<i> Got my sauces reducing,</i>

883
00:28:41,419 --> 00:28:42,619
<i>I get started on my chicken.</i>

884
00:28:42,654 --> 00:28:44,621
<i>I'm adding soya sauce
to make sure it has a nice</i>

885
00:28:44,656 --> 00:28:46,390
<i>Asian international flavor.</i>

886
00:28:46,424 --> 00:28:47,758
[dramatic music playing]

887
00:28:47,792 --> 00:28:49,226
Getting there.

888
00:28:49,260 --> 00:28:52,396
<i>Next thing I need to do is to
make sure that I get this rice going.</i>

889
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,098
<i>Can't have stir fry
without rice.</i>

890
00:28:56,167 --> 00:28:57,901
[clangs]

891
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:00,270
[Guy] 15 minutes, Chefs,
15 minutes.

892
00:29:01,973 --> 00:29:03,640
[Ariel]<i> So, I pull my fish</i>
<i>out of the fryer,</i>

893
00:29:03,675 --> 00:29:05,776
<i>it is crunchy on the exterior.</i>

894
00:29:05,810 --> 00:29:06,677
Looking good there.

895
00:29:06,711 --> 00:29:08,579
<i>The sweet and sour sauce
is reducing.</i>

896
00:29:08,613 --> 00:29:09,913
And believe it or not,

897
00:29:09,948 --> 00:29:12,516
<i>that chili is coming through
and adding some richness.</i>

898
00:29:12,550 --> 00:29:15,018
- How are we looking, Chef?
- Doing pretty good.

899
00:29:17,522 --> 00:29:18,655
It's actually really good.

900
00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:20,591
I'm not kidding you.
It is really good.

901
00:29:20,625 --> 00:29:21,759
Thank you, Chef,
I appreciate it.

902
00:29:21,793 --> 00:29:23,727
<i>I'm gonna toss it into
some rice on a pan,</i>

903
00:29:23,762 --> 00:29:26,730
<i>and in it, some olive oil
and fried olive.</i>

904
00:29:26,765 --> 00:29:28,632
<i>Finally, I put some of
the fish on the top.</i>

905
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:31,301
Come on, sauce,
don't fail me now.

906
00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:32,836
<i>I absolutely love my fish.</i>

907
00:29:32,871 --> 00:29:33,737
<i>I have this dream</i>

908
00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:35,639
of starting my own
Texas barbeque pop-up.

909
00:29:35,673 --> 00:29:37,608
<i>If I were to win that $20,000,</i>

910
00:29:37,642 --> 00:29:39,610
I'm thinking, I'm buying
an offset smoker

911
00:29:39,644 --> 00:29:41,445
and using it to
start my barbeque business.

912
00:29:44,516 --> 00:29:46,683
[Kelly]<i> It's time to work</i>
<i>on my corn salad.</i>

913
00:29:47,285 --> 00:29:48,619
<i>I drain the cans of corn</i>

914
00:29:48,653 --> 00:29:49,653
<i>and then, chili beans,</i>

915
00:29:49,687 --> 00:29:51,555
and start mixing
it all together.

916
00:29:51,589 --> 00:29:52,823
This is one of
the guys' favorites.

917
00:29:52,857 --> 00:29:55,325
<i>I was gonna chop up
fresh tomatoes,</i>

918
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,294
but seeing as there was
a guacamole with

919
00:29:57,328 --> 00:29:58,428
<i>fresh chopped tomatoes,</i>

920
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:00,430
<i>I thought that would be
a great shortcut.</i>

921
00:30:00,465 --> 00:30:02,499
[Guy] I like the use
of the ingredients here.

922
00:30:02,534 --> 00:30:04,301
Gotta think on your feet.
[clanging]

923
00:30:04,335 --> 00:30:06,503
This is one of
their favorite dishes.

924
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:08,572
<i>So, I've made this dish
for my husband before</i>

925
00:30:08,606 --> 00:30:10,407
and he absolutely loves it.

926
00:30:10,441 --> 00:30:11,675
<i>I really wanna win today</i>

927
00:30:11,709 --> 00:30:13,677
<i>because I really wanna
go somewhere</i>

928
00:30:13,711 --> 00:30:15,023
<i>and just have nothing
to worry about.</i>

929
00:30:15,047 --> 00:30:18,282
Just spending good quality
time with the ones that I love.

930
00:30:20,351 --> 00:30:21,051
That's gonna be good.

931
00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:23,120
Five and a half minutes.

932
00:30:23,588 --> 00:30:24,922
Okay, man.

933
00:30:24,956 --> 00:30:28,058
<i>I can go ahead and get started
on my vegetables for my stir fry.</i>

934
00:30:28,092 --> 00:30:30,561
<i>So, I get mushroom,
shredded carrots, Fresno chilis,</i>

935
00:30:30,595 --> 00:30:31,628
<i>Thai chilis,</i>

936
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:32,696
<i>let that cook down.</i>

937
00:30:32,730 --> 00:30:34,765
<i>I know I had to use
these canned chili beans.</i>

938
00:30:34,799 --> 00:30:36,934
So I'm like, you know,
these will be a nice addition.

939
00:30:37,869 --> 00:30:40,037
<i>They will add another layer
of spice.</i>

940
00:30:41,706 --> 00:30:43,874
<i>I know I had to use
this red light special</i>

941
00:30:43,908 --> 00:30:45,209
<i>coconut chicken
from the hot bar,</i>

942
00:30:45,243 --> 00:30:48,478
and the coconut flavor is really
gonna help balance out my dish.

943
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:49,479
And where are the shrimp going?

944
00:30:49,514 --> 00:30:50,714
[Chris] Shrimp are going in
with the chicken,

945
00:30:50,748 --> 00:30:52,916
- It's gonna be a shrimp-chicken stir fry.
- Got it.

946
00:30:52,951 --> 00:30:55,686
[Chris]<i> The perfect shrimp</i>
<i>is juicy and succulent.</i>

947
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,888
Served it to my guys
at the 16th.

948
00:30:57,922 --> 00:31:00,757
<i>As I'm making this stir fry, I
got the 16th heavy on my mind.</i>

949
00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:01,892
I'm doing it for them.

950
00:31:01,926 --> 00:31:04,628
I'm doing it for the 16th,
doing it for the ancestors.

951
00:31:04,662 --> 00:31:05,495
<i>I know they love this dish,</i>

952
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:07,197
so I'm trying to
make them proud.

953
00:31:07,232 --> 00:31:09,266
Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp.

954
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:10,567
I'm watching the firefighters

955
00:31:10,602 --> 00:31:13,403
turn ingredients that they
would never really think of

956
00:31:13,438 --> 00:31:14,738
into something
pretty outstanding.

957
00:31:14,772 --> 00:31:17,541
I would never necessarily
grab the crab salad

958
00:31:17,575 --> 00:31:18,976
from the cold bar.

959
00:31:19,811 --> 00:31:21,378
[Justin]<i> Have to use crab salad.</i>

960
00:31:22,347 --> 00:31:23,714
The crab actually tastes
pretty good.

961
00:31:23,748 --> 00:31:25,582
I wanna get that
gameplay just right.

962
00:31:25,617 --> 00:31:26,783
Let's drop that into the beans,

963
00:31:26,818 --> 00:31:29,820
we got that nice bean dressing
to go on top of that shrimp.

964
00:31:30,555 --> 00:31:31,955
I haven't started on the shrimp.

965
00:31:32,457 --> 00:31:33,790
<i>In the firehouse,</i>

966
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:35,559
<i>if you cook well,
you're gonna do it a lot.</i>

967
00:31:35,593 --> 00:31:37,361
But on the flipside,

968
00:31:37,395 --> 00:31:38,462
<i>they're on the call,</i>

969
00:31:38,496 --> 00:31:39,429
<i>you stay to cook,
and then, when they get back,</i>

970
00:31:39,464 --> 00:31:40,597
they eat and they clean up,

971
00:31:40,632 --> 00:31:42,299
and you ain't gotta worry
about it.

972
00:31:44,602 --> 00:31:46,003
Uh, they'd eat anything I cook

973
00:31:46,037 --> 00:31:47,771
and then, if they liked it,
they'd love it,

974
00:31:47,805 --> 00:31:49,873
and they'd still tell me
how bad it was.

975
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:51,608
That's the way the firehouse is.

976
00:31:51,643 --> 00:31:54,311
They don't call me Chief
Grill Daddy for nothing, neither.

977
00:31:55,146 --> 00:31:56,213
Two minutes!

00:31:56,247 --> 00:31:57,814

00:32:00,018 --> 00:32:02,986
<i>Sweet and sour fish with
a bit of a Mexican flavor.</i>

982
00:32:03,488 --> 00:32:04,521
There you go, Chef.

983
00:32:04,555 --> 00:32:05,989
[Ariel]<i> I'm looking for</i>
<i>a bit of freshness,</i>

984
00:32:06,024 --> 00:32:07,190
<i>a bit of crunch.</i>

985
00:32:07,225 --> 00:32:10,494
<i>So, I garnish it with some
green onion and sesame seed.</i>

986
00:32:10,528 --> 00:32:13,130
I'm telling you right now,
Ariel's dish,

987
00:32:13,164 --> 00:32:13,897
it's gorgeous.

988
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:17,234
[Chris]<i> So, first, I fold in</i>
<i>my chili beans</i>

989
00:32:17,268 --> 00:32:18,268
<i>to the stir fry.</i>

990
00:32:19,637 --> 00:32:21,271
<i>Then, I add
my chicken and shrimp.</i>

991
00:32:23,074 --> 00:32:26,009
<i>Lastly, I dribble my
spicy sauce over the plate.</i>

992
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:28,578
One minute, chefs!

<i>First, the saucy shrimp goes in.</i>

997
00:32:37,255 --> 00:32:39,356
I like sauce.

998
00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:42,225

Thirty seconds!

1002
00:32:48,433 --> 00:32:50,534
[Justin]<i> Time for the tortillas.</i>

1003
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:52,769
Get the charred tortillas
laid in the rack.

[Guy] That's some big
tortillas, aren't they?

you gotta go big.

international firehouse favorite,

of the fantastic

Up first, Chef Ariel,

1034
00:33:53,564 --> 00:33:54,464
give us the rundown.

General Ariel's fish.

<i>Normally, it does not have red
salsa, sour cream or chili beans,</i>

1038
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,441
<i>but I wanted to highlight
these ingredients</i>

1039
00:34:04,475 --> 00:34:06,043
to the best of my ability.

1040
00:34:07,678 --> 00:34:10,414
[Simon] The build-in,
those ingredients you had to,

1041
00:34:10,448 --> 00:34:12,416
like the chili into this sauce

1042
00:34:12,450 --> 00:34:14,317
is absolutely outstanding.

1043
00:34:14,352 --> 00:34:15,619
[Antonia] I am so happy

1044
00:34:15,653 --> 00:34:17,320
that you are still here.

1045
00:34:17,355 --> 00:34:19,489
Because the fish
is cooked perfectly.

1046
00:34:19,524 --> 00:34:20,757
It's succulent and moist
in the center,

1047
00:34:20,792 --> 00:34:24,828
but it's holding out to this
extremely aggressive sauce.

1048
00:34:24,862 --> 00:34:27,664
[Michael] Ariel, you have
a seven-point difference

1049
00:34:27,698 --> 00:34:29,332
between you and the leader.

1050
00:34:29,367 --> 00:34:30,700
As far as I'm concerned
right now,

1051
00:34:30,735 --> 00:34:32,636
you have definitely
closed that gap.

1052
00:34:32,670 --> 00:34:35,505
It feels international,
it looks international.

1053
00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,307
[Simon] I will say, however,

1054
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:39,242
the rice is
a big disappointment.

1055
00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:41,611
Microwaveable rice is one of
my least favorite things on Earth.

1056
00:34:41,646 --> 00:34:43,880
It's clumped together
like a bit of a softball.

1057
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:47,517
[Guy] What was interesting is
you're in the bottom at 35 points,

1058
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:49,486
and you're gonna have to
do something big,

1059
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,921
you're swinging for the fences.

1060
00:34:50,955 --> 00:34:52,355
And that's swinging
for the fences.

1061
00:34:52,390 --> 00:34:54,324
Up next, Chef Justin!

1062
00:34:54,358 --> 00:34:55,258
Tell us how it went.

1063
00:34:55,293 --> 00:34:56,426
I did tacos

1064
00:34:56,461 --> 00:34:59,529
<i>with shrimp and I
mixed in the crab salad.</i>

1065
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:01,398
<i>Made more of a
cream sauce for on top</i>

1066
00:35:01,432 --> 00:35:02,632
of the taco.

1067
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:04,367
Also did stuffed peppers,

1068
00:35:04,402 --> 00:35:06,770
I utilized the coconut rice
from the Hot Bar.

1069
00:35:06,804 --> 00:35:10,340
Mixed that in with some
cream cheese, Chorizo.

1070
00:35:11,943 --> 00:35:13,543
I wanna see what's
going on inside that brain

1071
00:35:13,578 --> 00:35:14,711
'cause what you put
on the plate,

1072
00:35:14,745 --> 00:35:16,146
it's pretty entertaining,
I would say.

1073
00:35:16,180 --> 00:35:17,848
I would imagine people at
the station probably line up

1074
00:35:17,882 --> 00:35:19,883
just to see what you're
going to create next.

1075
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:21,551
You grabbed a whole
bunch of stuff,

1076
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:24,421
and you somehow made it all
sort of work together.

1077
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:27,224
I really like that,
one of the red light specials,

1078
00:35:27,258 --> 00:35:28,592
you had the Fresno chili,

1079
00:35:28,626 --> 00:35:31,294
and you were like, "I'm actually
gonna stuff this as a pepper."

1080
00:35:31,329 --> 00:35:33,363
I love the Chorizo

1081
00:35:33,397 --> 00:35:34,564
mixed with that cream cheese.

1082
00:35:34,599 --> 00:35:36,600
I thought that was
really, really, really smart.

1083
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:38,435
You delivered the heat here.

1084
00:35:38,469 --> 00:35:40,871
Great flavors,
they sit really well together.

1085
00:35:40,905 --> 00:35:43,607
I think the shrimp are cooked
absolutely beautiful.

1086
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:47,244
But I do think that crab salad
from the cold bar,

1087
00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:48,979
it's taken over the shrimp.

1088
00:35:49,013 --> 00:35:51,581
I think, the shrimp were
losing a lot of flavor from that.

1089
00:35:51,616 --> 00:35:53,183
[Guy] Thank you very much.

1090
00:35:53,217 --> 00:35:54,584
Up next, Chef Kelly.

1091
00:35:54,619 --> 00:35:55,685
What'd you make for us?

1092
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:59,256
Today, I made my international
firehouse favorite,

1093
00:35:59,290 --> 00:36:01,691
<i>it's a sweet Thai shrimp taco,</i>

1094
00:36:01,726 --> 00:36:02,826
<i>with corn salad.</i>

1095
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:06,363
<i>I put the beans and the
top of the guacamole,</i>

1096
00:36:06,397 --> 00:36:07,664
<i>on the tomatoes and the corn.</i>

1097
00:36:07,698 --> 00:36:10,267
And then, the sour cream
was incorporated also

1098
00:36:10,301 --> 00:36:11,735
in the corn salad.

1099
00:36:11,769 --> 00:36:14,471
I love the way
this whole plate is.

1100
00:36:14,505 --> 00:36:17,207
The sweetness of the corn
plays really, really well

1101
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:19,676
and marries into
the sweetness of the shrimp.

1102
00:36:19,710 --> 00:36:21,678
You've got Thai,
you've got Mexican.

1103
00:36:21,712 --> 00:36:24,347
I got a couple passport stamps
on one plate.

1104
00:36:24,382 --> 00:36:25,815
Definitely got
the international part.

1105
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:28,585
The crunch on the shrimp
is just outstanding.

1106
00:36:28,619 --> 00:36:30,554
- Awesome.
- The salad,

1107
00:36:30,588 --> 00:36:33,723
not the prettiest thing
to look at, I have to say,

1108
00:36:33,758 --> 00:36:34,858
and I think the sauce
is a tiny bit sweet.

1109
00:36:34,892 --> 00:36:35,859
Yeah.

1110
00:36:35,893 --> 00:36:37,594
And I think you might want to
go balance that

1111
00:36:37,628 --> 00:36:38,562
with a little bit of heat.

1112
00:36:38,596 --> 00:36:39,596
- Thank you, Chef.
- [Antonia] Um,

1113
00:36:39,630 --> 00:36:40,931
I want heat.

1114
00:36:40,965 --> 00:36:43,733
I wish that you stopped in that
red light threshold down there

1115
00:36:43,768 --> 00:36:45,602
and picked up
a couple of those chilis.

1116
00:36:45,636 --> 00:36:47,270
Thank you so much, Chef.

1117
00:36:47,305 --> 00:36:48,805
Well done. Last but not least,

1118
00:36:48,839 --> 00:36:51,641
- Chef Christopher.
- For my international firehouse favorite,

1119
00:36:51,676 --> 00:36:55,412
<i>it is a spicy
Asian-inspired stir fry</i>

1120
00:36:55,446 --> 00:36:56,646
<i>with chicken, shrimp.</i>

1121
00:36:56,681 --> 00:36:59,649
<i>I folded the chili beans in
with the Fresno chilis.</i>

1122
00:36:59,684 --> 00:37:01,718
I sauteed that up
with some carrots,

1123
00:37:01,752 --> 00:37:03,587
some mushroom,
and a coconut chicken.

1124
00:37:03,621 --> 00:37:06,189
Threw that in with the chicken
to knock some of that spice down

1125
00:37:06,224 --> 00:37:07,157
a little bit.

1126
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:10,493
I really, really
like that sauce.

1127
00:37:10,528 --> 00:37:11,728
Just on the rice on its own

1128
00:37:11,762 --> 00:37:13,563
would make me very, very happy.

1129
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:15,031
[Michael] It's definitely
international.

1130
00:37:15,066 --> 00:37:17,767
I love the separation of having,
like the vegetables over here

1131
00:37:17,802 --> 00:37:19,636
and then, having the protein
over here,

1132
00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:21,538
it's almost like
a choose-your-own-adventure,

1133
00:37:21,572 --> 00:37:22,772
- like, stir fry.
- Thank you.

1134
00:37:22,807 --> 00:37:24,174
I think, using all
of the ingredients

1135
00:37:24,208 --> 00:37:27,444
that you got from the Hot Bar, the
coconut chicken, the Fresno chili,

1136
00:37:27,478 --> 00:37:28,545
the canned chili,

1137
00:37:28,579 --> 00:37:29,946
- all really work together.
- Thank you.

1138
00:37:29,981 --> 00:37:32,549
I would've liked to see maybe
some fresh herbs on top,

1139
00:37:32,583 --> 00:37:34,217
just to kind of break up,
that sauce is

1140
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:35,619
- very aggressive.
- Thank you.

1141
00:37:35,653 --> 00:37:37,220
[Guy] Chefs, firefighters,

1142
00:37:37,255 --> 00:37:38,722
great dishes, creative.

1143
00:37:38,756 --> 00:37:39,823
So, I think it's anybody's game.

1144
00:37:39,857 --> 00:37:41,524
We're gonna send you
back to the kitchens,

1145
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:43,193
and we'll call you
when we have a decision.

1146
00:37:43,227 --> 00:37:44,527
Thank you very much.

1147
00:37:44,562 --> 00:37:47,430
All right, judges, whose
dish lit up your taste buds?

1148
00:37:47,465 --> 00:37:48,398
Let's talk about Justin.

1149
00:37:48,432 --> 00:37:49,599
[Antonia] I think
the plating suffered.

1150
00:37:49,634 --> 00:37:51,935
[Simon] Crab salad
was one step too far for me.

1151
00:37:51,969 --> 00:37:52,769
Chef Kelly.

1152
00:37:52,803 --> 00:37:55,338
If there was just
some kind of acidity

1153
00:37:55,373 --> 00:37:56,573
and acid and herbs,

1154
00:37:56,607 --> 00:37:58,174
that would've balanced it out.

1155
00:37:58,542 --> 00:37:59,643
Christopher.

1156
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:00,710
[Antonia] The rice
looked incredible.

1157
00:38:00,745 --> 00:38:02,445
Everything needed to
come together.

1158
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,713
That's where I took issue.

1159
00:38:03,748 --> 00:38:05,582
I wanted it all
stir fried together.

1160
00:38:05,616 --> 00:38:06,850
Ariel.

1161
00:38:06,884 --> 00:38:09,486
I think Ariel's last dish was
the best dish of the entire day.

1162
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,854
[Michael] But does he have
enough points

1163
00:38:10,888 --> 00:38:13,490
in round two to take
the entire competition?

1164
00:38:13,524 --> 00:38:15,158
[Guy] All right, score it up.

1165
00:38:15,192 --> 00:38:15,759
Let's find out

1166
00:38:15,793 --> 00:38:17,460
who will be the big upset

1167
00:38:17,495 --> 00:38:19,362
or is Kelly going
to retain the title?

1168
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,300
Well, I gotta tell
you something,

1169
00:38:23,334 --> 00:38:24,401
it was a pleasure.

1170
00:38:24,435 --> 00:38:26,036
You're fantastic representation

1171
00:38:26,070 --> 00:38:26,703
for your department.

1172
00:38:26,737 --> 00:38:28,538
So, it all comes down to this.

1173
00:38:28,572 --> 00:38:29,539
Let's take a look.

1174
00:38:29,573 --> 00:38:32,742
Chef Justin, 38 points
in the first round.

1175
00:38:33,244 --> 00:38:34,577
Fifteen in gameplay,

1176
00:38:34,612 --> 00:38:36,112
15 in taste,

1177
00:38:36,547 --> 00:38:37,580
seven in plating,

1178
00:38:37,615 --> 00:38:39,549
for a total of 37.

1179
00:38:39,583 --> 00:38:41,985
For a total of 75.

1180
00:38:42,353 --> 00:38:43,353
Chef Kelly.

1181
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:45,288
Forty-two in the first round.

1182
00:38:45,323 --> 00:38:46,956
Fourteen in gameplay,

1183
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:48,992
14 in taste,

1184
00:38:49,427 --> 00:38:50,493
six in plating,

1185
00:38:50,528 --> 00:38:52,495
for a total of 35

1186
00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:54,064
and a total of 77.

1187
00:38:54,498 --> 00:38:56,066
Chef Christopher.

1188
00:38:56,667 --> 00:38:58,034
Fourteen in gameplay,

1189
00:38:58,402 --> 00:38:59,836
15 in taste,

1190
00:39:00,271 --> 00:39:01,171
eight in plating,

1191
00:39:01,639 --> 00:39:03,206
for a total of 37.

1192
00:39:03,607 --> 00:39:06,209
And tie at a 77.

1193
00:39:06,243 --> 00:39:07,444
- Wow.
- [dings]

1194
00:39:07,478 --> 00:39:08,978
[Guy] And let's go
to Chef Ariel.

1195
00:39:09,013 --> 00:39:11,181
Thirty-five in the first round.

1196
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:13,049
Eighteen in gameplay,

1197
00:39:13,451 --> 00:39:15,018
19 in taste!

1198
00:39:15,453 --> 00:39:17,187
Eight in plating,

1199
00:39:17,221 --> 00:39:18,521
for a total of 45,

1200
00:39:18,556 --> 00:39:20,523
and there's your winner,
ladies and gentlemen.

1201
00:39:20,558 --> 00:39:23,460
- [all cheering]
- Chef Ariel, 80 points!

1202
00:39:23,494 --> 00:39:25,395
- Congratulations!
- [all clapping]

1203
00:39:25,429 --> 00:39:26,663
- That's awesome.
- Whoo!

1204
00:39:26,697 --> 00:39:29,699
[laughs] I gotta be
very honest with you,

1205
00:39:29,734 --> 00:39:31,601
I haven't seen any
upsets like this.

1206
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:33,603
So, congratulations, man.

1207
00:39:33,637 --> 00:39:35,572
That is a big,
big return to victory.

1208
00:39:35,606 --> 00:39:37,540
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, Chef.

1209
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,309
Thank you, thank you.

1210
00:39:39,343 --> 00:39:40,543
Justin, Kelly, Christopher,

1211
00:39:40,578 --> 00:39:42,045
I have to tell you again

1212
00:39:42,079 --> 00:39:44,347
how much I appreciate
you being here.

1213
00:39:44,382 --> 00:39:45,715
What a great representation

1214
00:39:45,750 --> 00:39:47,851
and hopefully, this will be
the last time we see you.

1215
00:39:47,885 --> 00:39:50,987
Give it up for Chef Justin,
Chef Kelly, Chef Christopher.

1216
00:39:51,021 --> 00:39:51,788
Thank you.

1217
00:39:51,822 --> 00:39:53,423
[Chris]<i> So bummed I didn't win,</i>

1218
00:39:53,457 --> 00:39:54,691
but you know, it was
an awesome experience,

1219
00:39:54,725 --> 00:39:55,759
I got to cook some good food

1220
00:39:55,793 --> 00:39:58,828
<i>and I got to represent
my fire station.</i>

1221
00:39:58,863 --> 00:40:00,363
- [clapping] - [Kelly]<i> I
think, the guys and the girls</i>

1222
00:40:00,398 --> 00:40:01,364
<i>back at the firehouse
are gonna be</i>

1223
00:40:01,399 --> 00:40:03,633
really proud that
I'm their cook.

1224
00:40:03,667 --> 00:40:05,101
[Justin]<i> You know, firemen,</i>

1225
00:40:05,136 --> 00:40:07,003
we're all family.

1226
00:40:07,037 --> 00:40:09,973
<i>Extremely proud of Ariel.
He definitely earned the win.</i>

1227
00:40:10,374 --> 00:40:11,341
[Guy] Chef Ariel,

1228
00:40:11,375 --> 00:40:12,776
you got involved
in becoming a firefighter

1229
00:40:12,810 --> 00:40:15,478
after the 2017 fires
that we had here

1230
00:40:15,513 --> 00:40:16,513
in Sonoma County.

1231
00:40:16,547 --> 00:40:17,781
So, he's a volunteer.

1232
00:40:17,815 --> 00:40:19,649
And you just won,
ladies and gentlemen,

1233
00:40:19,683 --> 00:40:21,418
- give it up for the champ.
- [applauding]

1234
00:40:21,452 --> 00:40:23,086
Thank you, guys.

1235
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,788
- Well done, buddy!
- I don't even know what to say.

1236
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:27,357
Listen, we have
a shout out for you.

1237
00:40:27,391 --> 00:40:28,558
From the Sebastopol
Fire department

1238
00:40:28,592 --> 00:40:30,693
that you're a volunteer at.

1239
00:40:30,728 --> 00:40:33,329
Hunter, show us what the
department has to say, bud.

1240
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:34,431
[all congratulating]

1241
00:40:34,465 --> 00:40:36,266
We're here from Sebastopol.

1242
00:40:36,300 --> 00:40:37,400
Nice job, buddy.

1243
00:40:37,435 --> 00:40:38,768
<i>When you cooking dinner?</i>

1244
00:40:38,803 --> 00:40:40,603
[Guy] And you gotta be one of
the rookies in that group, right?

1245
00:40:40,638 --> 00:40:42,572
I am. I've only been there
for three years.

1246
00:40:42,606 --> 00:40:44,707
So, this is definitely
some firehouse cred.

1247
00:40:44,742 --> 00:40:47,544
I just wanna say to everybody
back at Sebastopol,

1248
00:40:47,578 --> 00:40:49,312
- dinner's on me.
- [laughs]

1249
00:40:52,383 --> 00:40:53,416
I got a couple choices for you.

1250
00:40:53,451 --> 00:40:54,651
We have a recipe game

1251
00:40:54,685 --> 00:40:57,487
where I will give you a
specific list of ten ingredients

1252
00:40:57,521 --> 00:40:58,721
for a popular dish.

1253
00:40:58,756 --> 00:41:00,623
You will go and find
those ingredients

1254
00:41:00,658 --> 00:41:03,326
around the store,
in two minutes.

1255
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,527
For every ingredient you find,

1256
00:41:04,562 --> 00:41:05,728
we'll give you $2,000.

1257
00:41:05,763 --> 00:41:08,364
You find all ten,
you win $20,000.

1258
00:41:08,399 --> 00:41:10,600
Or you can skip
all the shenanigans.

1259
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:13,570
I have a check sitting behind
that door, right over there,

1260
00:41:13,604 --> 00:41:18,341
it is anywhere between
$10,000 and $20,000.

1261
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:20,477
So, it's your choice.

1262
00:41:20,511 --> 00:41:22,245
[Ariel sighs] All right.

1263
00:41:22,279 --> 00:41:24,581
[intense music playing]

1264
00:41:24,615 --> 00:41:25,782
I'm gonna go for that check.

1265
00:41:25,816 --> 00:41:26,950
- [Guy] Ladies and gentlemen...
- Yeah.

1266
00:41:26,984 --> 00:41:29,486
- ...he's going for the check.
- I'm going for the check.

1267
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,720
[Guy] Behind the big doors,

1268
00:41:30,754 --> 00:41:33,022
- let's take a look!
- [Ariel] I'm going for the check.

1269
00:41:33,557 --> 00:41:34,924
- $18,000!
- Whoa!

1270
00:41:34,959 --> 00:41:37,627
-Congratulations! There you go.
-Thank you, thank you, Chef.

1271
00:41:37,661 --> 00:41:39,796
<i>I cannot believe that I won</i>
Guy's Grocery Games.

1272
00:41:39,830 --> 00:41:41,898
I came here with the intention
to just have a good time,

1273
00:41:41,932 --> 00:41:45,034
<i>and not only do I get
a smoker for my business,</i>

1274
00:41:45,069 --> 00:41:46,369
but I get to take this back
to my firehouse

1275
00:41:46,403 --> 00:41:47,704
and cook for the boys.

1276
00:41:47,738 --> 00:41:50,306
So, there you have it, our
firefighter smokes the competition,

1277
00:41:50,341 --> 00:41:52,775
takes home $18,000

1278
00:41:52,810 --> 00:41:53,710
back to Sebastopol,

1279
00:41:53,744 --> 00:41:55,445
and we'll see you guys next week

1280
00:41:55,479 --> 00:41:56,880
on<i> Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

1281
00:41:56,914 --> 00:41:59,082
- Adios!<i> Well done, buddy.</i>
<i>- [cheering]</i>
