1
00:00:00,867 --> 00:00:02,101
You know, Hunter,
it's that time of year again
2
00:00:02,103 --> 00:00:04,069
when folks make these
ridiculous resolutions
3
00:00:04,071 --> 00:00:05,771
to give up
all the foods they love.
4
00:00:05,773 --> 00:00:07,172
You know what we say
here at Flavortown Market,
5
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:08,974
forget about
counting those calories.
6
00:00:08,976 --> 00:00:12,444
And we're making Flavortown
Market a resolution-free zone.
7
00:00:13,780 --> 00:00:16,382
It's the kind of food
that real people want to eat.
8
00:00:16,384 --> 00:00:19,551
We're talking crispy,
crunchy, ooey, gooey,
9
00:00:19,553 --> 00:00:21,954
- oh so guilty.
- What?
10
00:00:21,956 --> 00:00:23,255
I love that.
11
00:00:23,257 --> 00:00:25,924
[Guy] So we've invited
three everyday food fanatics.
12
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:27,159
[together] I'm a food fanatic.
13
00:00:27,161 --> 00:00:28,727
[Guy] Cooking
isn't their profession,
14
00:00:28,729 --> 00:00:30,029
but it's definitely
their passion.
15
00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:31,797
I cannot believe this.
This is surreal.
16
00:00:31,799 --> 00:00:33,966
[Hunter] It's the kickoff
of a month long celebration
17
00:00:33,968 --> 00:00:35,934
of food fanatics in Flavortown.
18
00:00:35,936 --> 00:00:37,236
I'm going to go for it.
19
00:00:37,238 --> 00:00:39,038
Starting with
their anti-resolution game...
20
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:39,972
What resolution?
21
00:00:39,974 --> 00:00:42,007
Tonight on Triple G.
22
00:00:44,911 --> 00:00:46,745
Hunter, let's meet
our food fanatics now.
23
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:50,716
First up, we have Nick Farrer,
a former minor league pitcher
24
00:00:50,718 --> 00:00:55,888
and Flavortown fan, who designed his
backyard to look like my ranch kitchen.
25
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:57,089
That's it.
Game over, Nick wins.
26
00:00:57,091 --> 00:00:58,323
That's pretty awesome.
27
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:00,859
Do I watch Triple G?
28
00:01:00,861 --> 00:01:02,294
That's a loaded question.
29
00:01:02,296 --> 00:01:05,697
Have I watched every single
episode of Triple G is a better question.
30
00:01:05,699 --> 00:01:07,165
And the answer is yes.
31
00:01:07,167 --> 00:01:11,804
And I also designed my backyard
around Guy's ranch kitchen.
32
00:01:11,806 --> 00:01:12,871
There you go, big Nick.
33
00:01:12,873 --> 00:01:14,807
Welcome aboard, buddy.
34
00:01:14,809 --> 00:01:17,242
[Nick] So my day job is sales,
but I am a food fanatic.
35
00:01:17,244 --> 00:01:18,911
I do not eat to live.
36
00:01:18,913 --> 00:01:21,346
I live to eat.
37
00:01:21,981 --> 00:01:23,582
[Hunter] Next,
we have Crystal Vaughn,
38
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:27,519
she is the hairstylist with roots in
southern and Latin country food.
39
00:01:27,521 --> 00:01:30,989
She could break down
a chicken at age six.
40
00:01:30,991 --> 00:01:34,126
[Crystal] I'm here because I'm
ready to retire from hairstyling
41
00:01:34,128 --> 00:01:37,096
and make food and my
food blog, my full-time gig.
42
00:01:37,098 --> 00:01:38,697
I'm obsessed with food.
43
00:01:38,699 --> 00:01:43,068
I've been an avid fan of
Guy's Grocery Games for years.
44
00:01:43,070 --> 00:01:44,937
I watch it on Food
Network all day long.
45
00:01:44,939 --> 00:01:46,138
Okay?
46
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:47,940
- Boo!
- [Crystal screams]
47
00:01:47,942 --> 00:01:48,874
Hi, guys.
48
00:01:48,876 --> 00:01:50,109
I never get to do that.
49
00:01:50,111 --> 00:01:51,743
That was awesome.
You didn't even fall over.
50
00:01:51,745 --> 00:01:55,080
And finally, Elizabeth Jordan-Flight,
southern based food blogger
51
00:01:55,082 --> 00:01:59,118
and founder of a nonprofit
that trains farmers in Uganda.
52
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,620
- That's awesome.
- That's really nice.
53
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:02,988
[Elizabeth]
I show my love through food.
54
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:06,024
So, of course, the nonprofit
that I run is about food.
55
00:02:06,026 --> 00:02:08,660
When I was living in Belfast,
Northern Ireland,
56
00:02:08,662 --> 00:02:12,965
there was one TV station and
all it had was Food Network.
57
00:02:12,967 --> 00:02:16,068
And today, I am in the
like the real Flavortown.
58
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:17,302
Go get 'em.
59
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:19,938
Petrified.
60
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:23,509
It is so nice
to have three full-blown
61
00:02:23,511 --> 00:02:25,544
food fanatics
in the house right now.
62
00:02:25,546 --> 00:02:28,647
Normally we have professional
chefs in here that are from restaurants
63
00:02:28,649 --> 00:02:30,015
and run restaurants,
own restaurants.
64
00:02:30,017 --> 00:02:33,552
But, you know what, we
realized also, there's a lot of fans
65
00:02:33,554 --> 00:02:36,889
of Triple G, so we wanted
to give a chance to come down
66
00:02:36,891 --> 00:02:38,790
and see what you can do
in Flavortown, right?
67
00:02:38,792 --> 00:02:40,192
- Whoo!
- So, exciting.
68
00:02:40,194 --> 00:02:42,694
But as I will tell you, we're not
going to be easy on you. Hunter?
69
00:02:42,696 --> 00:02:43,829
[Crystal] Oh, no.
Oh, no.
70
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:45,831
We've got
two intense challenges.
71
00:02:45,833 --> 00:02:48,700
The person with the least
successful dish in the first round,
72
00:02:48,702 --> 00:02:50,869
unfortunately,
will be checking out.
73
00:02:50,871 --> 00:02:53,138
But the person with the
highest score after both rounds
74
00:02:53,140 --> 00:02:56,775
will receive a guaranteed 10,000
dollars, and most importantly, Hunter,
75
00:02:56,777 --> 00:02:59,111
They get a chance to come back
and compete against
76
00:02:59,113 --> 00:03:01,713
two other crazy food people
in three weeks.
77
00:03:01,715 --> 00:03:02,881
Oh, my God.
78
00:03:02,883 --> 00:03:04,983
[Guy] Now, since we're
breaking the rules tonight
79
00:03:04,985 --> 00:03:06,985
we are declaring
Flavortown Market
80
00:03:06,987 --> 00:03:08,487
- the anti-resolutions zone.
- Yes.
81
00:03:08,489 --> 00:03:12,024
No more resolutions to give up
the food you enjoy, all right?
82
00:03:12,026 --> 00:03:13,892
- [Crystal] All right. All right.
- Okay. I'm in for that.
83
00:03:13,894 --> 00:03:15,761
[Guy] Tonight,
I want you to make those
84
00:03:15,763 --> 00:03:19,831
crazy carbelicious comfort
dishes that everyone craves.
85
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:22,234
And I want you to start by
making the judges
86
00:03:22,236 --> 00:03:27,539
a big oversatisfying serving
of no-restriction noodles.
87
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:28,874
- Ooh.
- Okay.
88
00:03:28,876 --> 00:03:30,876
Make it as crazy
good as you can.
89
00:03:30,878 --> 00:03:33,745
Oh, did you say,
did you say crazy can?
90
00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:36,081
Crazy can, crazy...
crazy good as you can.
91
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,050
I got an idea?
You know what I'm saying?
92
00:03:38,052 --> 00:03:39,985
It's dangerous
when he has an idea.
93
00:03:39,987 --> 00:03:42,187
[Crystal] Oh, no, no,
no. Hunter, come on.
94
00:03:42,189 --> 00:03:45,057
This wasn't preplanned.
It just appeared right there.
95
00:03:45,059 --> 00:03:47,125
- [Crystal] No.
- [Hunter] Idea machine.
96
00:03:48,194 --> 00:03:49,561
[Guy] Let's take a look at that.
97
00:03:49,563 --> 00:03:50,929
Oh...
98
00:03:50,931 --> 00:03:54,700
Hunter, Hunter, it's time
to play crazy can roulette.
99
00:03:54,702 --> 00:03:57,002
- Oh, no.
- [Hunter] Yeah.
100
00:03:57,004 --> 00:03:58,270
So these
are cans without labels.
101
00:03:58,272 --> 00:03:59,371
Okay.
102
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:00,806
And you get to pick one.
103
00:04:00,808 --> 00:04:01,940
[Crystal] Oh.
104
00:04:01,942 --> 00:04:04,276
And you must feature
the ingredients in that can
105
00:04:04,278 --> 00:04:06,245
in your no-restriction noodle.
106
00:04:06,247 --> 00:04:07,179
Who wants to pick first?
107
00:04:07,181 --> 00:04:08,981
- Me.
- Come on up, chef.
108
00:04:08,983 --> 00:04:10,916
- Okay. All right.
- What are you thinking?
109
00:04:10,918 --> 00:04:12,551
[Crystal] I'm going to go
for the big one.
110
00:04:12,553 --> 00:04:14,219
Take it back over there.
111
00:04:14,221 --> 00:04:16,722
Go ahead and turn it upside
down. Let's take a look at it.
112
00:04:16,724 --> 00:04:19,258
Clam chowder.
113
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:21,893
Well, we should stick
with ladies. Second.
114
00:04:21,895 --> 00:04:22,861
I'm going to go
lucky number two.
115
00:04:22,863 --> 00:04:24,296
- Really?
- Lucky number two.
116
00:04:24,298 --> 00:04:27,266
I'm always a fan of the pop
top, myself, but go with two.
117
00:04:27,268 --> 00:04:29,067
That's good.
118
00:04:29,069 --> 00:04:30,302
What does it say?
119
00:04:30,304 --> 00:04:31,903
Cream of celery?
120
00:04:31,905 --> 00:04:33,739
[Crystal]
Oh, that's a good one.
121
00:04:33,741 --> 00:04:34,640
[Guy] Chef.
122
00:04:34,642 --> 00:04:36,842
Let's do it.
I'm going to pick number one
123
00:04:36,844 --> 00:04:39,011
and hope that it's tomato sauce
because it looks like that size.
124
00:04:39,013 --> 00:04:40,545
You think it's that?
125
00:04:40,547 --> 00:04:42,547
- Oh, and it's not shaking.
- Ooh.
126
00:04:44,117 --> 00:04:45,150
Hollandaise sauce.
127
00:04:45,152 --> 00:04:46,718
[Crystal] All right.
128
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,854
AKA, not tomato sauce.
129
00:04:48,856 --> 00:04:52,658
You say tomato,
we say hollandaise.
130
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:56,862
Thirty minutes to create
your non-restriction noodles
131
00:04:56,864 --> 00:05:00,232
- featuring your crazy can surprise.
- Yeah.
132
00:05:00,234 --> 00:05:02,301
[Guy] Now,
Elizabeth has can three.
133
00:05:02,303 --> 00:05:04,202
No, no she has can two.
134
00:05:04,204 --> 00:05:06,171
Well, who has can one?
135
00:05:06,173 --> 00:05:07,973
We're not going to go
over this again.
136
00:05:09,575 --> 00:05:11,176
I thought we had them.
137
00:05:11,811 --> 00:05:12,878
I thought we had
them on that one.
138
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,014
That was one of our best moves.
139
00:05:16,016 --> 00:05:18,583
Okay.
They're playing for keeps now.
140
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:21,086
Playing for keeps.
141
00:05:21,088 --> 00:05:23,088
[Nick] When I think
of no-restriction noodles,
142
00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:25,857
I'm thinking of like something
fatty and like unctuous
143
00:05:25,859 --> 00:05:31,296
and kind of make you sit back after you eat
it and go like, "Oh, man, I need a nap."
144
00:05:31,298 --> 00:05:35,534
So I'm going to make it rigatoni
pasta with blackened shrimp.
145
00:05:35,536 --> 00:05:38,904
Yep. This is a no
restrictions thing.
146
00:05:38,906 --> 00:05:41,139
You got to put something in
here that's going to get them going.
147
00:05:41,141 --> 00:05:44,042
I grab two things of pancetta.
148
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:46,044
All right.
Hollandaise sauce.
149
00:05:46,046 --> 00:05:48,880
I've never worked with
canned hollandaise, ever.
150
00:05:48,882 --> 00:05:53,018
And I've never seen a
noodle with hollandaise sauce.
151
00:05:53,020 --> 00:05:57,089
I'm thinking I got to make some
type of sauce out of the sauce.
152
00:05:57,091 --> 00:06:00,759
I'm used to cooking for
like my family and my friend.
153
00:06:00,761 --> 00:06:04,629
And now I'm in Flavortown and
I have 30 minutes to do this.
154
00:06:04,631 --> 00:06:07,366
This is a completely
different world to me.
155
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:10,802
So, Hunter,
everybody is at home right now
156
00:06:10,804 --> 00:06:14,039
doing sit-ups, doing
the resolutions.
157
00:06:14,041 --> 00:06:15,841
- [Hunter] Right, right.
- [Guy] Not here at Flavortown.
158
00:06:15,843 --> 00:06:16,842
No.
159
00:06:16,844 --> 00:06:17,876
We say no to resolutions.
160
00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:18,944
That's right.
Do what you want.
161
00:06:18,946 --> 00:06:22,047
Yeah.
Where's the cottage cheese?
162
00:06:23,750 --> 00:06:26,251
Today is anti-resolution
and I'm going for it.
163
00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:28,019
There's no holding me back.
164
00:06:28,021 --> 00:06:30,055
Okay, I need butter milk.
No, no, no.
165
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:31,156
Honey, heavy cream.
166
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:33,658
For my no restrictions
noodle dish,
167
00:06:33,660 --> 00:06:35,994
I'm making Cajun seafood pasta.
168
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:38,563
Just go.
I'll go with some linguine.
169
00:06:39,565 --> 00:06:42,267
I knew I wanted to use
the clam chowder
170
00:06:42,269 --> 00:06:44,803
in a way that would be
more like an Alfredo sauce.
171
00:06:44,805 --> 00:06:45,837
So sausage.
172
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,241
In Houston, it is big
to have crawfish boils,
173
00:06:49,243 --> 00:06:54,946
and we use like the Cajun
crab boil to season our crawfish,
174
00:06:54,948 --> 00:06:57,416
so I'm going to flavor
my pasta water with it.
175
00:06:57,418 --> 00:06:59,151
Cheeses, I need cheese.
176
00:06:59,153 --> 00:07:00,819
For my cheeses
177
00:07:00,821 --> 00:07:03,455
I'm grabbing mozzarella,
and Monterey Jack.
178
00:07:03,457 --> 00:07:06,057
There's no restrictions.
Let's go for it.
179
00:07:06,059 --> 00:07:07,192
Okay.
180
00:07:07,194 --> 00:07:08,894
I think I got it all.
181
00:07:08,896 --> 00:07:10,061
Okay, okay.
182
00:07:10,063 --> 00:07:11,396
For my no-restriction noodles
183
00:07:11,398 --> 00:07:13,899
I'm thinking Cajun
chicken pasta.
184
00:07:13,901 --> 00:07:15,033
I always... Okay.
185
00:07:15,035 --> 00:07:18,270
I love Louisiana
style of cooking.
186
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:20,105
See what happens.
187
00:07:20,107 --> 00:07:22,340
It's one of my favorite things to eat
and one of my favorite things to cook.
188
00:07:22,775 --> 00:07:24,209
Okay.
189
00:07:24,544 --> 00:07:27,078
You're making Cajun food, you
sort of need this holy trinity, right,
190
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,215
which is celery,
bel pepper and onions.
191
00:07:30,217 --> 00:07:34,186
So I already have the celery
in the cream of celery soup,
192
00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:38,723
so I immediately go for the red and
green bell peppers and the red onion.
193
00:07:38,725 --> 00:07:41,092
Every anti-resolution
dish needs cheese.
194
00:07:41,094 --> 00:07:45,030
And so I grab a tub of
Parmesan and Pecorino Romano.
195
00:07:45,032 --> 00:07:47,933
Okay.
I watch the show.
196
00:07:47,935 --> 00:07:49,801
I know that 30 minutes
goes by fast,
197
00:07:49,803 --> 00:07:51,903
so I'm thinking
this rotisserie chicken
198
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:55,340
is going to be a real
lifesaver for this pasta.
199
00:07:55,842 --> 00:07:57,576
- Okay.
- How are we looking?
200
00:07:57,578 --> 00:07:59,211
I think I know
what I'm doing, maybe.
201
00:07:59,213 --> 00:08:00,812
[Guy] I like that.
202
00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:03,982
Twenty-five minutes to cook.
Get cooking.
203
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:10,956
Joining us to judge
our anti-resolution dishes
204
00:08:10,958 --> 00:08:13,792
are three guilt-free
Food Network stars...
205
00:08:13,794 --> 00:08:16,361
Hunter. I'll be right over
there to work on the...
206
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:17,829
the judge intros...
207
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:19,130
Hey, I got it.
208
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,733
You get them next time.
209
00:08:21,735 --> 00:08:23,034
- That's fine.
- [Hunter] All right?
210
00:08:23,036 --> 00:08:25,971
Cookbook author whose southern
comfort dishes always sing,
211
00:08:25,973 --> 00:08:28,106
Damaris Phillips.
How are you doing?
212
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:31,042
The spice guru who has
hopefully resolved to make us
213
00:08:31,044 --> 00:08:33,411
more fried Indian
food, Aarti Sequeira.
214
00:08:33,413 --> 00:08:34,980
- How are you doing?
- I'll get it right to that.
215
00:08:34,982 --> 00:08:38,116
[Hunter] Please do and acclaimed
executive chef who made some amazing
216
00:08:38,118 --> 00:08:40,952
no-restriction noodles
last night, Chris Petroni.
217
00:08:40,954 --> 00:08:42,888
- I like that.
- Those were dynamite, dude. Delicious.
218
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:44,990
And this is a real opportunity
219
00:08:44,992 --> 00:08:48,460
for these contestants that
have seen this show so much,
220
00:08:48,462 --> 00:08:50,862
and now not only do they have
a chance to cook here,
221
00:08:50,864 --> 00:08:53,965
- but they get to have full reign of the supermarket.
- Right?
222
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:58,203
And they're being encouraged
to like gild the lily here.
223
00:08:58,205 --> 00:09:00,205
Give me all
you've got. Let me see it.
224
00:09:00,207 --> 00:09:01,540
[Chris] Yeah, yeah.
225
00:09:01,542 --> 00:09:04,342
[Elizabeth] Oh, dear God.
Being in Flavortown is insane.
226
00:09:04,344 --> 00:09:06,745
I'm sort of like shocked
and still kind of
227
00:09:06,747 --> 00:09:08,847
understanding how
the whole thing works.
228
00:09:08,849 --> 00:09:09,948
It's time to use my noodle.
229
00:09:09,950 --> 00:09:11,516
I'm sorry.
230
00:09:12,952 --> 00:09:17,222
First, I need to start working on
my peppers and onions for my sauce.
231
00:09:17,224 --> 00:09:21,126
Salt these and I'm just going
to try to really just blacken them.
232
00:09:21,128 --> 00:09:22,761
[Guy] What's your game plan?
233
00:09:22,763 --> 00:09:24,896
So I think I'm going to do
a Cajun chicken pasta
234
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:25,897
with rotisserie chicken...
235
00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:26,798
I like it.
236
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,066
[Elizabeth]
so, like a cream sauce.
237
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,468
And I feel like it'll go well
with the celery. I feel like--
238
00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:32,537
No, it's a great... It's a
great way to go with that.
239
00:09:32,539 --> 00:09:35,607
[Elizabeth] So I take the bell
peppers out of the cast iron skillet
240
00:09:35,609 --> 00:09:39,110
and I use the same pan
to build my sauce.
241
00:09:39,112 --> 00:09:42,881
The sauce is supposed
to be decadent, creamy, rich.
242
00:09:42,883 --> 00:09:46,051
I taste it.
It's way salty.
243
00:09:46,053 --> 00:09:47,252
How are we looking, chef?
244
00:09:47,254 --> 00:09:48,553
It's way too salty.
245
00:09:48,555 --> 00:09:49,821
[Guy]
Good, so start over.
246
00:09:49,823 --> 00:09:50,922
- Start over?
- Pour it out.
247
00:09:50,924 --> 00:09:52,924
There's no reason
to build on a bad foundation.
248
00:09:52,926 --> 00:09:53,892
Okay. Okay.
249
00:09:53,894 --> 00:09:56,761
Elizabeth's sauce is too salty,
250
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:59,598
and it looks like Guy's just
told her she needs to start again.
251
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,834
Psychologically,
that is such a huge blow.
252
00:10:02,836 --> 00:10:04,636
- Probably, I can just start over.
- [Guy] Right.
253
00:10:04,638 --> 00:10:06,738
[Elizabeth] I'm scared.
I'm a home chef.
254
00:10:06,740 --> 00:10:09,074
It's hard to sort of
understand the scope of it.
255
00:10:09,076 --> 00:10:11,142
I'm just going to go again.
256
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:24,956
The challenge is to make
anti-resolution noodles,
257
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:27,525
so I don't want to
see too many vegetables.
258
00:10:27,527 --> 00:10:30,395
Get these
vegetables out of my face.
259
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:33,231
Twenty-two minutes.
260
00:10:33,233 --> 00:10:36,301
These food fanatics are
incredibly brave to come out here.
261
00:10:36,303 --> 00:10:39,070
Coming in here against
these odds, it's... it's tough.
262
00:10:39,072 --> 00:10:40,872
Okay.
Thank you for that.
263
00:10:40,874 --> 00:10:43,675
I think starting the
sauce over was crucial.
264
00:10:43,677 --> 00:10:45,744
It would have just
been way too salty.
265
00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:49,080
[Guy] Okay, so now
let's take you back to basics.
266
00:10:49,082 --> 00:10:50,849
The cream of celery is a whammy,
267
00:10:50,851 --> 00:10:53,752
but by incorporating it
into a creamy pasta sauce,
268
00:10:53,754 --> 00:10:57,088
I know we're going to sort of
overcome that obstacle.
269
00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:01,826
I really want my sauce to sort of be
the star of the anti-resolution show.
270
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:05,397
It has heavy cream,
it has cheese, it is decadent,
271
00:11:05,399 --> 00:11:07,666
and I just know that the
judges are going to love it.
272
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,768
The time goes way faster
than you think it will.
273
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:11,836
It's like... Oh, my
God, it goes fast.
274
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,638
Chef, what's on the menu?
275
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,307
So we're going to do
a little rigatoni
276
00:11:16,309 --> 00:11:18,843
and then I'm going to take this
chicken stock and hollandaise
277
00:11:18,845 --> 00:11:19,811
and make a sauce out of it.
278
00:11:19,813 --> 00:11:21,846
That's blackened shrimp.
279
00:11:21,848 --> 00:11:24,582
I like it. Have you worked
with canned Hollandaise sauce?
280
00:11:24,584 --> 00:11:26,951
I've... No. I've made hollandaise
a few times for the family,
281
00:11:26,953 --> 00:11:30,088
but I've never really worked
with a can of hollandaise.
282
00:11:30,090 --> 00:11:31,856
Chef, you didn't
drop the pasta yet, did you?
283
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:32,757
I did.
284
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,693
[Guy]
You have 19 minutes left.
285
00:11:34,695 --> 00:11:37,796
I'll give you some advice on
that, after you get done cooking it,
286
00:11:37,798 --> 00:11:39,497
- cook it to about three quarters away.
- [Nick] Okay.
287
00:11:39,499 --> 00:11:42,200
- Cool it, so it stops the cooking process.
- Okay.
288
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,803
[Guy] And then you can finish
cooking it inside of the sauce.
289
00:11:44,805 --> 00:11:46,237
Flavor profile
goes through the roof.
290
00:11:46,239 --> 00:11:47,905
Okay, sounds good.
291
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:50,608
Never in a million years that I ever think
that I would be in the same room as Guy,
292
00:11:50,610 --> 00:11:52,877
let alone him
standing behind me,
293
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:56,214
helping me make a pasta dish
on Guy's Grocery Games.
294
00:11:59,051 --> 00:12:01,419
Oh, chef, what
do we think it's going to be?
295
00:12:01,421 --> 00:12:04,956
It's going to
be Cajun fettuccine Alfredo.
296
00:12:04,958 --> 00:12:05,924
I like it.
297
00:12:05,926 --> 00:12:07,025
[Crystal]
So I'm gonna add shrimp.
298
00:12:07,027 --> 00:12:09,527
I'm going to spice it up
with some crab boil.
299
00:12:09,529 --> 00:12:11,529
I think that's
a perfect whammy and slammy.
300
00:12:11,531 --> 00:12:13,732
Okay. Whoo!
The first thing I'm going to
301
00:12:13,734 --> 00:12:16,668
work on for my Cajun seafood
pasta is my sauce.
302
00:12:16,670 --> 00:12:20,672
I start by slicing up my
sausage and getting it into a pan
303
00:12:20,674 --> 00:12:23,842
with butter so that can render some
of the fat and get that flavor going.
304
00:12:23,844 --> 00:12:26,077
I usually have the
music going and I'm like...
305
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:28,780
♪ La la-la-la
la la-la la ♪
306
00:12:28,782 --> 00:12:31,483
So, while
my sausage is rendering
307
00:12:31,485 --> 00:12:33,718
I went ahead and
flavored my pasta water.
308
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,821
The crab boil bag is going to
get into that pasta
309
00:12:36,823 --> 00:12:41,059
and each bite is gonna bring that
little punch of spicy Cajun flavor.
310
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:44,562
It really becomes more like
a seafood boil kind of vibe.
311
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:46,498
Okay.
312
00:12:46,500 --> 00:12:50,034
My main focus on the blog is that I wanted
to show people that you can make delicious,
313
00:12:50,036 --> 00:12:54,806
simple foods at your house and save
money and put it towards other things.
314
00:12:54,808 --> 00:12:57,642
It looks like Crystal
has grabbed some bread.
315
00:12:57,644 --> 00:13:00,011
[Chris] I want
the whole plate of pasta
316
00:13:00,013 --> 00:13:02,514
served over a
giant loaf of garlic bread.
317
00:13:03,048 --> 00:13:04,749
Ten minutes, chef.
10 to go.
318
00:13:04,751 --> 00:13:06,117
[Hunter]
How's your pasta doing?
319
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:08,686
Are you going to take that pasta
out and fold it into the sauce?
320
00:13:08,688 --> 00:13:12,690
Mm-hmm. Guy and Hunter
are super helpful in the kitchen,
321
00:13:12,692 --> 00:13:14,192
and they've got
all these great tips
322
00:13:14,194 --> 00:13:16,661
and they are really there
to sort of like lend a hand.
323
00:13:16,663 --> 00:13:17,762
Hey, Hunter.
324
00:13:17,764 --> 00:13:19,130
- Yeah.
- [Elizabeth] Can you do me a favor?
325
00:13:19,132 --> 00:13:21,032
Do you think you can
grab some fresh parsley?
326
00:13:21,034 --> 00:13:22,567
[Hunter]
Fresh parsley coming up.
327
00:13:22,569 --> 00:13:24,402
Thank you again for the parsley.
328
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:26,471
- Thank you so much, Hunter.
- You're very welcome.
329
00:13:26,473 --> 00:13:28,206
- I really appreciate it.
- [Hunter] Fresh parsley.
330
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:31,810
[Elizabeth] When you make things
at home, you do sort of take your time.
331
00:13:31,812 --> 00:13:35,713
You don't realize just how
quick 30 minutes goes. Okay.
332
00:13:35,715 --> 00:13:37,649
[Guy] Gorgeous.
333
00:13:37,651 --> 00:13:39,751
[Nick] The next thing I do
is go right to the hollandaise
334
00:13:39,753 --> 00:13:41,085
and start to figure out
what to do
335
00:13:41,087 --> 00:13:43,688
with this thing that I
normally put on eggs Benedict.
336
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:46,591
So I'm going to go
with this hollandaise.
337
00:13:46,593 --> 00:13:49,828
I start bleeding my stock
into the pan and whisking it in
338
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:52,964
to see what type of
consistency I want to work with.
339
00:13:52,966 --> 00:13:55,834
The sauce is not going
to be thick enough.
340
00:13:55,836 --> 00:13:58,002
I'm gonna pad it out
with some butter.
341
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:01,606
All of this Food Network
watching is absolutely paying off.
342
00:14:01,608 --> 00:14:03,575
I never used to
put a pad of butter in
343
00:14:03,577 --> 00:14:06,044
before I started watching
all of these chefs compete
344
00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:08,046
and they always
put a pad of butter.
345
00:14:09,181 --> 00:14:10,248
That's not bad.
346
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:11,683
That's not bad at all.
347
00:14:11,685 --> 00:14:13,885
So I'm adding pancetta
to my sauce
348
00:14:13,887 --> 00:14:17,956
because I feel like I need
like little nugget flavor bombs.
349
00:14:17,958 --> 00:14:22,060
Fold this in. Flavor
layering to the max.
350
00:14:22,062 --> 00:14:24,929
This is going to
give it a little spice.
351
00:14:24,931 --> 00:14:26,631
Last thing I need to
work on is my shrimp.
352
00:14:26,633 --> 00:14:28,233
Beautiful shrimp.
353
00:14:28,235 --> 00:14:31,603
The second that I started seasoning
those shrimp, they were a winner.
354
00:14:31,605 --> 00:14:33,271
All right, these look good.
355
00:14:33,273 --> 00:14:34,973
Where we at, chef Did you
get any Parmesan cheese?
356
00:14:34,975 --> 00:14:37,008
- Mm-mm.
- Parmesan cheese is on 10.
357
00:14:37,010 --> 00:14:41,112
[Nick] When Guy says, "Chef, did
you grab any Parmesan cheese?"
358
00:14:41,114 --> 00:14:44,115
I was out of there. The cameraman
couldn't even keep up with me.
359
00:14:44,717 --> 00:14:45,950
True story.
360
00:14:46,318 --> 00:14:47,652
All right, Guy.
I got it.
361
00:14:47,654 --> 00:14:51,155
No restrictions, over the top,
gluttonous type stuff
362
00:14:51,157 --> 00:14:53,992
is carbs layered with carbs
layered with cheese.
363
00:14:53,994 --> 00:14:55,059
So, Guy is right.
364
00:14:55,061 --> 00:14:58,162
I have to use Parmesan
just to finish it off.
365
00:14:59,732 --> 00:15:01,733
[Crystal] Now that
my sausage has rendered down,
366
00:15:01,735 --> 00:15:03,034
I can go in and build my sauce.
367
00:15:03,036 --> 00:15:06,204
Get my wonderful clam
chowder open.
368
00:15:06,206 --> 00:15:08,840
I've seen Guy's Grocery
Games a million times.
369
00:15:08,842 --> 00:15:10,041
Let's get this in here.
370
00:15:10,043 --> 00:15:12,010
I know you can't
hide the whammy.
371
00:15:12,012 --> 00:15:14,746
So being that it was
clam chowder,
372
00:15:14,748 --> 00:15:16,514
I knew I was going to add
it to my sauce
373
00:15:16,516 --> 00:15:19,784
and just really play up
that seafood element.
374
00:15:19,786 --> 00:15:23,288
I'm adding in my heavy cream
and all the cheeses.
375
00:15:23,290 --> 00:15:26,858
We're going crazy because
there's no limits here.
376
00:15:26,860 --> 00:15:27,892
[Guy]
How are we looking?
377
00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:28,860
[Crystal]
We're looking good.
378
00:15:28,862 --> 00:15:30,561
[Guy] Now, so what
is that missing, chef?
379
00:15:30,563 --> 00:15:32,297
Let me go grab something
like parsley or something.
380
00:15:32,299 --> 00:15:34,565
Okay, I think parsley and I think
something red would be great.
381
00:15:34,567 --> 00:15:35,800
[Crystal] Red.
382
00:15:35,802 --> 00:15:37,135
It's so cool that
I'm here in Flavortown,
383
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:39,270
and Guy Fieri is giving me
tips and tricks
384
00:15:39,272 --> 00:15:41,572
on how to make
my food even better.
385
00:15:41,574 --> 00:15:45,877
Like, really? Guy teaching
me? Okay, I'm with it.
386
00:15:45,879 --> 00:15:48,112
[Guy] That's going to
give you a little spice.
387
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:49,714
All right.
I like spice.
388
00:15:49,716 --> 00:15:51,549
I like it. I like it.
I like it a lot.
389
00:15:51,551 --> 00:15:53,551
[Crystal] I know
I need to season up my shrimp.
390
00:15:53,553 --> 00:15:55,119
Some salt in there.
391
00:15:55,121 --> 00:16:00,291
I get those shrimp sauteed in
butter, oil, garlic and Fresno chilis.
392
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:01,192
[Hunter] How's Crystal doing?
393
00:16:01,194 --> 00:16:03,194
Oh, she's doing great.
We're ready to go.
394
00:16:03,196 --> 00:16:05,063
Did you boil that
with a crab boil bag?
395
00:16:05,065 --> 00:16:06,197
I did.
396
00:16:06,199 --> 00:16:07,265
[Hunter] What?
397
00:16:07,267 --> 00:16:08,766
That I'm impressed with.
398
00:16:08,768 --> 00:16:09,701
Oh, that's awesome.
399
00:16:09,703 --> 00:16:11,002
[Guy] That move,
you don't see...
400
00:16:11,004 --> 00:16:13,972
In my mind I'm thinking
"Baby, that's why I'm here."
401
00:16:14,506 --> 00:16:16,774
Two and a half minutes.
402
00:16:16,776 --> 00:16:19,010
[Nick] So the clock is
counting down as I'm spooning
403
00:16:19,012 --> 00:16:20,311
this in my bowls.
404
00:16:20,313 --> 00:16:22,580
It's coming out
silky and creamy.
405
00:16:22,582 --> 00:16:24,949
I cannot believe.
This is so surreal, man.
406
00:16:24,951 --> 00:16:29,053
I'm glad y'all are witnessing this because
I'm appreciating every second of it.
407
00:16:29,055 --> 00:16:32,090
I got four pieces of
blackened shrimp for everyone,
408
00:16:32,092 --> 00:16:35,693
and I top it off the little chopped
parsley and a little Parmesan
409
00:16:35,695 --> 00:16:37,228
just to finish it off.
410
00:16:37,230 --> 00:16:39,897
I can't believe that
I actually did this.
411
00:16:39,899 --> 00:16:41,332
[Guy] Ninety seconds.
412
00:16:41,334 --> 00:16:43,434
What resolution?
413
00:16:43,436 --> 00:16:45,703
So I get my pasta into the bowl.
414
00:16:45,705 --> 00:16:50,341
I top it with my shrimp and then I
served a nice piece of bread to the judges.
415
00:16:51,243 --> 00:16:54,846
Forty-five seconds, chefs,
let's clean those bowls.
416
00:16:54,848 --> 00:16:57,782
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my God.
417
00:16:57,784 --> 00:17:00,451
I put all of my
pasta into the bowl.
418
00:17:00,453 --> 00:17:03,021
This is so much harder
than it looks, it really is.
419
00:17:03,023 --> 00:17:07,358
And then as a garnish, I just sprinkle a
little cheese and some of that parsley.
420
00:17:07,360 --> 00:17:12,730
Five, four, three, two, one.
421
00:17:12,732 --> 00:17:14,098
That's it. Stop cooking.
422
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:16,034
- [Crystal] Yes.
- [Hunter] Oh, man.
423
00:17:16,036 --> 00:17:17,969
- [Damaris] Well done, you all.
- Dear God.
424
00:17:17,971 --> 00:17:19,971
Great job.
425
00:17:22,274 --> 00:17:23,341
[Hunter] All right.
426
00:17:23,408 --> 00:17:26,377
You three have started
an anti-resolution revolution.
427
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:28,446
Let's take those
news to the judges.
428
00:17:34,787 --> 00:17:36,254
All right, judges, this is it.
429
00:17:36,256 --> 00:17:37,822
Game one of
our anti-resolution games,
430
00:17:37,824 --> 00:17:40,258
we had a little crazy
canned roulette.
431
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:42,794
Our food fanatics, Hunter, had
to make no-restriction noodles
432
00:17:42,796 --> 00:17:44,829
that featured unlabeled
canned ingredients
433
00:17:44,831 --> 00:17:49,033
that they picked themselves. Up first,
chef Crystal, clam chowder take it away.
434
00:17:49,035 --> 00:17:52,303
So, because I picked clam
chowder, I decided to make for you all
435
00:17:52,305 --> 00:17:55,039
a seafood Cajun-boiled Alfredo.
436
00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:59,944
And then I seared off some Cajun
sausage, brought in that clam chowder,
437
00:17:59,946 --> 00:18:02,480
and I gave you a little
piece of some garlic bread
438
00:18:02,482 --> 00:18:06,918
and I piled on the cheese,
because this is anti-resolution, baby.
439
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,821
[Damaris] Crystal. I think that
getting a can of clam chowder
440
00:18:09,823 --> 00:18:16,561
and then leaning into the seafood
was a very, very creative way to use
441
00:18:16,563 --> 00:18:19,730
and to... to kind of elevate
the whammy that you got.
442
00:18:19,732 --> 00:18:21,833
But I wish that you had
chosen a different noodle.
443
00:18:21,835 --> 00:18:24,302
I'm not able to slop up
as much as
444
00:18:24,304 --> 00:18:27,805
if I had a noodle that was a
better carrier for all of that sauce.
445
00:18:27,807 --> 00:18:29,240
Okay.
446
00:18:29,242 --> 00:18:33,377
Crystal good thing, I'm
running a marathon tomorrow.
447
00:18:33,379 --> 00:18:35,947
I'm going to crush
this whole plate of pasta.
448
00:18:35,949 --> 00:18:40,251
- An absolute perfect cook on the shrimp.
- Thank you.
449
00:18:40,253 --> 00:18:42,787
They are spicy.
They are just lovely pasta.
450
00:18:42,789 --> 00:18:45,223
Yes, baby! Yes!
451
00:18:45,225 --> 00:18:47,625
Crystal, this is a bowl
full of bad decisions
452
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,560
in the best way possible.
453
00:18:49,562 --> 00:18:53,931
The fact that not only did you
put the crab boil in the pasta water,
454
00:18:53,933 --> 00:18:56,834
but then you finished
your pasta in your sauce.
455
00:18:56,836 --> 00:18:58,169
[Crystal] Yes.
456
00:18:58,171 --> 00:18:59,904
That's just
extra flavor, extra flavor.
457
00:18:59,906 --> 00:19:03,040
All right. Up next, chef
Nick with Hollandaise sauce.
458
00:19:03,042 --> 00:19:06,544
Chef, what I prepared for
you today is a creamy
459
00:19:06,546 --> 00:19:10,748
hollandaise pasta with grilled
shrimp roast off some red peppers,
460
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:14,051
some jalapenos,
rendered down some pancetta.
461
00:19:14,053 --> 00:19:15,887
Try to make the hollandaise
as naughty as I could.
462
00:19:15,889 --> 00:19:17,989
Then I just grilled
off some shrimp.
463
00:19:17,991 --> 00:19:22,026
Finish that sauce off with a little
bit of Parmesan to thicken it up.
464
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:25,329
Nick, I love
that you are giving us
465
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,165
so many different
layers of flavor.
466
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:28,699
We're having grilled.
467
00:19:28,701 --> 00:19:31,669
We also have
a ton of smokey flavor.
468
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:33,938
And then there's also a lot
of heat from those jalapenos.
469
00:19:33,940 --> 00:19:36,507
What I love
is that I don't taste
470
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:39,210
canned hollandaise
in your dish at all,
471
00:19:39,212 --> 00:19:41,846
and I think that's because
there's so much freshness in here.
472
00:19:41,848 --> 00:19:43,915
- That's wonderful.
- [Nick] Thank you.
473
00:19:43,917 --> 00:19:47,885
Well, Nick, we are doing
the opposite of resolutions.
474
00:19:47,887 --> 00:19:51,556
So when you said a key word,
which was a little bit of parm.
475
00:19:53,625 --> 00:19:56,561
You needed to take like
literally two handfuls of parm
476
00:19:56,563 --> 00:19:59,130
and throw it in here, would
have thickened up your sauce
477
00:19:59,132 --> 00:20:01,065
and really played the game.
478
00:20:01,067 --> 00:20:02,033
Thank you.
479
00:20:02,035 --> 00:20:03,701
All right, great job.
480
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:07,004
Not to be outdone, chef
Elizabeth, cream of celery.
481
00:20:07,006 --> 00:20:10,508
For my no-restrictions pasta,
I did a Cajun chicken pasta.
482
00:20:10,510 --> 00:20:12,176
And what makes it
no restrictions
483
00:20:12,178 --> 00:20:17,281
is I threw in white wine, heavy cream, a
lot of cheese and then that cream of celery,
484
00:20:17,283 --> 00:20:20,484
which I feel like actually really
added to the flavor and texture.
485
00:20:20,486 --> 00:20:22,053
I hope you enjoy it.
486
00:20:22,055 --> 00:20:24,956
Elizabeth, it's a shame that
you're not even excited to be here.
487
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:28,192
Maybe smile sometime.
488
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:32,363
If I didn't know anything and someone
gave me just one strand of this spaghetti
489
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:37,068
that is so flavorful, I would
say that tastes like Cajun pasta.
490
00:20:37,070 --> 00:20:38,736
So really good job.
491
00:20:38,738 --> 00:20:39,937
[Damaris] Elizabeth,
492
00:20:39,939 --> 00:20:41,639
I think that when you're
talking about Cajun food
493
00:20:41,641 --> 00:20:42,773
and you're talking about
the Holy Trinity,
494
00:20:42,775 --> 00:20:46,010
you're talking about onions
and peppers and celery.
495
00:20:46,012 --> 00:20:51,649
So taking the cream of celery soup and
using that and playing into it is creative,
496
00:20:51,651 --> 00:20:55,152
it's fun, and you absolutely
get that Cajun flavor.
497
00:20:55,154 --> 00:20:58,055
For me, the only thing is that
the sauce is a little too thick.
498
00:20:58,057 --> 00:20:59,657
[Aarti] Elizabeth, you have
499
00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:01,792
that thing happen that
has happened to all of us,
500
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:05,896
where mid-round you got to throw
away your sauce and start again.
501
00:21:05,898 --> 00:21:12,003
I think that lost time showed
up when it came to plating.
502
00:21:12,005 --> 00:21:13,771
I wish your dish
was a little neater.
503
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:14,739
Okay.
504
00:21:14,741 --> 00:21:17,675
I'll tell you, I
think that what you don't have
505
00:21:17,677 --> 00:21:21,512
in experience, you make up for
with creativity and positive energy,
506
00:21:21,514 --> 00:21:22,847
and that's how
Hunter and I feel.
507
00:21:22,849 --> 00:21:24,248
And Hunter and I
are good people.
508
00:21:24,250 --> 00:21:26,050
We're not judges
and we don't send people home.
509
00:21:26,052 --> 00:21:26,951
Wait a minute.
510
00:21:26,953 --> 00:21:28,019
- Oh, my God.
- Wait a minute.
511
00:21:28,021 --> 00:21:29,887
[Guy] We're going to
send you back to the kitchen.
512
00:21:29,889 --> 00:21:32,323
The judges will score up,
break one of your hearts
513
00:21:32,325 --> 00:21:34,625
and the other two will
continue on the next game.
514
00:21:34,627 --> 00:21:36,060
Oh, my God.
515
00:21:36,062 --> 00:21:37,895
Thank you very much.
Back to your kitchens.
516
00:21:37,897 --> 00:21:39,230
Thank you, guys.
517
00:21:39,232 --> 00:21:42,667
[Guy] All right, judges, you get
20 points available in game play,
518
00:21:42,669 --> 00:21:45,970
20 points available in tasting
and 10 points available on plating.
519
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,005
Let's show them scores.
Get them on the board.
520
00:21:48,674 --> 00:21:50,441
Okay.
521
00:21:59,551 --> 00:22:02,720
[Guy] Well, you have all put
your passion for food on a plate.
522
00:22:02,722 --> 00:22:03,888
Nicely done.
523
00:22:03,890 --> 00:22:05,790
Let's take a look here, right?
524
00:22:05,792 --> 00:22:10,828
We'll start with Nick 15
in Game play, 17 in Taste,
525
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:13,030
eight in plating, total 40.
526
00:22:13,032 --> 00:22:14,799
Good score.
527
00:22:14,801 --> 00:22:21,238
Crystal, 17 in Game play,
17 in Taste,
528
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,209
seven in Plating, total of 41.
529
00:22:25,677 --> 00:22:27,078
Wow!
530
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,015
Right now, we'll see what
Elizabeth's score is.
531
00:22:33,218 --> 00:22:37,321
Sixteen in Game play,
sixteen in Taste,
532
00:22:38,156 --> 00:22:42,259
seven in Plating
for a score of 39.
533
00:22:42,261 --> 00:22:44,028
[Damaris] Ooh, that was close.
534
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:46,163
[Guy] I would say this, though.
535
00:22:46,165 --> 00:22:49,133
Before you take off, I would
want to tell you one thing...
536
00:22:49,135 --> 00:22:50,901
I'm not sending you home.
537
00:22:50,969 --> 00:22:52,236
[all cheering]
538
00:22:55,607 --> 00:23:00,077
- So now it's anybody's battle, right, Hunter?
- That's correct,
539
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:06,150
Because the second and final round of
our anti-resolution games starts right now.
540
00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:10,755
[guy] For your final
challenge, pull out all the stops,
541
00:23:10,757 --> 00:23:12,823
we want you to
make the judges a...
542
00:23:12,825 --> 00:23:15,025
-Something fried. I'm
thinking-- -[Guy] Fried.
543
00:23:15,027 --> 00:23:16,927
Fried fantasy.
I want a fried fantasy.
544
00:23:16,929 --> 00:23:18,129
Fried fantasy?
545
00:23:18,131 --> 00:23:20,865
To inspire you,
to go big or go home,
546
00:23:20,867 --> 00:23:22,666
we are going to play
our biggest game ever.
547
00:23:22,668 --> 00:23:25,069
This is actually
the food pyramid.
548
00:23:25,071 --> 00:23:27,738
This is a school project that
we did for Hunter,
549
00:23:27,740 --> 00:23:31,776
and he is going to drop
the ball of opportunity.
550
00:23:31,778 --> 00:23:34,011
First, we're going to pick
your adjective
551
00:23:34,013 --> 00:23:38,082
a word to help you add another
dimension to your fried fantasy.
552
00:23:38,084 --> 00:23:39,049
Hunter, what do we have for 'em?
553
00:23:39,051 --> 00:23:42,186
[Hunter]
Glazed, creamy, spicy,
554
00:23:42,188 --> 00:23:45,256
tart, pickled and cheesy.
555
00:23:45,258 --> 00:23:46,824
Okay, here we go.
556
00:23:46,826 --> 00:23:49,059
[Elizabeth] Oh, God.
557
00:23:49,061 --> 00:23:51,762
Seriously?
Pickled. Okay, Okay.
558
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:52,763
[Guy] Okay, okay.
559
00:23:52,765 --> 00:23:54,899
- [Crystal] Pickle's good.
- Pickle's fine.
560
00:23:54,901 --> 00:23:59,069
So at least one component
of your dish must be pickled.
561
00:23:59,071 --> 00:24:00,504
[Guy] Is that it or
you want to do more?
562
00:24:00,506 --> 00:24:01,906
I think we have to do more.
563
00:24:01,908 --> 00:24:03,841
We need you to do one
mandatory section for you to shop in.
564
00:24:03,843 --> 00:24:04,942
So let's just hit the button.
565
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:06,777
- [Guy] There we go.
- [Hunter] Look at that.
566
00:24:06,779 --> 00:24:09,880
[Guy] So you must shop
in either the hot bar,
567
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:12,817
the cold bar, the butcher
case, or the grab & go.
568
00:24:12,819 --> 00:24:14,952
[Hunter] So here we go.
569
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:16,854
Just not grab and go,
but I think we're okay there.
570
00:24:16,856 --> 00:24:19,590
- Okay.
- Okay. Okay.
571
00:24:19,592 --> 00:24:22,993
All right. Hunter, what is the
final category to top things off?
572
00:24:22,995 --> 00:24:25,563
Let's pick an aisle you
won't be able to shop from.
573
00:24:25,565 --> 00:24:27,097
- [Hunter] Oh.
- [Guy] Huh?
574
00:24:27,099 --> 00:24:28,599
[Hunter] Ready?
Here you go.
575
00:24:28,601 --> 00:24:30,568
[Guy] Oh! Aisle
two is condiments.
576
00:24:30,570 --> 00:24:33,838
Aisle nine is the baked
goods and frozen goods.
577
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,041
Aisle five is beans,
rice, fruit soups
578
00:24:37,043 --> 00:24:39,877
and aisle four... Oh, you
don't want to get that one.
579
00:24:39,879 --> 00:24:41,111
- That's international.
- Okay.
580
00:24:41,113 --> 00:24:43,113
[Hunter] All right.
Here we go.
581
00:24:44,216 --> 00:24:45,916
There you go, five.
582
00:24:45,918 --> 00:24:47,117
[Guy] Nothing from aisle five.
583
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,085
Oh, God.
584
00:24:48,087 --> 00:24:52,823
Rice, grains, canned
meats, canned fruit soup.
585
00:24:52,825 --> 00:24:57,862
Thirty minutes to make a fried
fantasy featuring a pickled component,
586
00:24:57,864 --> 00:25:02,533
an item from the cold bar,
and nothing from aisle five.
587
00:25:02,535 --> 00:25:05,102
You know, I'm trying to figure out
who's going to do the "three, two, one go,"
588
00:25:05,104 --> 00:25:06,036
me or Hunter?
589
00:25:06,038 --> 00:25:08,072
- Oh, gosh.
- [Hunter] Really?
590
00:25:11,576 --> 00:25:14,111
- Nobody gets it that quick.
- That's way too fast.
591
00:25:16,882 --> 00:25:21,552
For my fried fantasy, I'm
going to fry some fat in fat.
592
00:25:21,554 --> 00:25:26,123
When I think of a fried fantasy,
I think of a big fat sandwich.
593
00:25:26,125 --> 00:25:28,893
And truthfully,
a nice cold beer.
594
00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:31,862
I want to fry
this pork belly in panko
595
00:25:31,864 --> 00:25:35,299
because I'm going to make a
fried pork belly banh mi sandwich.
596
00:25:35,301 --> 00:25:37,601
Guy panko, panko, panko?
597
00:25:37,603 --> 00:25:40,170
Right there in front of you.
598
00:25:40,172 --> 00:25:43,173
[Nick] For the perfect
banh mi, I need a spicy sauce.
599
00:25:43,175 --> 00:25:46,277
But the problem is
aisle five has the mayo.
600
00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:48,846
I can't do it.
I got to come up with plan B.
601
00:25:48,848 --> 00:25:49,847
Let's see.
602
00:25:49,849 --> 00:25:52,082
I'm going to make my own sauce.
603
00:25:53,151 --> 00:25:55,319
Are there cucumbers
here somewhere?
604
00:25:55,321 --> 00:25:57,588
For the pickled portion
of my dish,
605
00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:58,822
Oh, there they are.
606
00:25:58,990 --> 00:26:01,759
I know I got red wine vinegar
and sugar at my station.
607
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:03,327
It's an easy, quick pickle.
608
00:26:03,329 --> 00:26:05,296
- [Hunter] Cold bar here.
- [Nick] Is this the cold bar?
609
00:26:05,298 --> 00:26:06,130
[Hunter] Oh, yeah.
610
00:26:06,132 --> 00:26:07,097
What can I get you?
611
00:26:07,099 --> 00:26:09,433
[Nick] Okay.
Beets and some artichokes.
612
00:26:09,435 --> 00:26:12,169
What I'm going to do with
this stuff? I have no idea.
613
00:26:12,171 --> 00:26:13,571
All right, let's do it.
614
00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:15,973
Okay.
615
00:26:15,975 --> 00:26:18,876
For my fried fantasy,
I'm making fr-achos, y'all.
616
00:26:18,878 --> 00:26:21,078
So fr-achos is a play on nachos.
617
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,281
Instead of using a tortilla chip,
I choose to use a waffle fry.
618
00:26:24,283 --> 00:26:29,887
I don't have time to, like, dissect a
potato and get it fried up perfectly.
619
00:26:29,889 --> 00:26:30,788
[Guy]
What are you thinking?
620
00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:33,924
I'm thinking some nachos,
621
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:38,062
but made with fries and fried
chicken and pickled jalapenos.
622
00:26:38,064 --> 00:26:39,530
So excited.
623
00:26:39,532 --> 00:26:42,266
[Crystal] I want to make bite
sized pieces for my fried chicken
624
00:26:42,268 --> 00:26:44,868
instead of dealing with like a
whole boneless chicken breast.
625
00:26:44,870 --> 00:26:46,503
Excuse me.
626
00:26:46,505 --> 00:26:49,206
Aisle five is the spices.
Can't go to five.
627
00:26:49,208 --> 00:26:52,710
I have to think of another way
to pull off my fried chicken.
628
00:26:52,712 --> 00:26:54,712
Hot sauce.
I need hot sauce.
629
00:26:54,714 --> 00:26:56,413
Since I couldn't
go down aisle five,
630
00:26:56,415 --> 00:26:59,083
I knew I needed to really punch
up the flavor on my chicken.
631
00:26:59,085 --> 00:27:01,986
I see the red hot chili peppers and I
knew I could play that into my dish.
632
00:27:01,988 --> 00:27:03,420
- All right.
- Thank you.
633
00:27:03,422 --> 00:27:04,788
[Hunter] Best of luck.
Here we go.
634
00:27:04,790 --> 00:27:06,223
[sighs]
635
00:27:06,225 --> 00:27:08,692
I'm not as much of a fryer,
but I'm going to go for it.
636
00:27:08,694 --> 00:27:09,826
Okay.
637
00:27:09,828 --> 00:27:13,297
My mind immediately goes to
the one fried dish
638
00:27:13,299 --> 00:27:18,235
that I do know how to cook, which is
my husband's favorite, a chicken parmo.
639
00:27:19,270 --> 00:27:21,038
Cheese.
640
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,374
Chicken parmos are
pretty intense,
641
00:27:23,376 --> 00:27:25,776
I mean, it's fried chicken
with bechamel and cheese.
642
00:27:25,778 --> 00:27:27,044
This.
643
00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:30,881
Okay, bread crumbs, spices.
644
00:27:30,883 --> 00:27:33,183
We can't do spices that is
going to make pickling harder.
645
00:27:33,185 --> 00:27:34,551
Okay.
646
00:27:34,553 --> 00:27:35,953
I know how to
make pickles, but making
647
00:27:35,955 --> 00:27:39,089
pickles without any
spices is a little trickier.
648
00:27:39,091 --> 00:27:42,793
And then I see the garlic in
that cold bar and I think,
649
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:44,695
oh, I'm just going to
throw that in as well,
650
00:27:44,697 --> 00:27:47,331
and that'll really give it
a lot of flavor.
651
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:49,199
What do you guys
think? Fried fantasy.
652
00:27:49,201 --> 00:27:50,934
Frying is an art.
653
00:27:50,936 --> 00:27:52,236
- Oh, yeah.
- Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
654
00:27:52,238 --> 00:27:54,638
There is
so much to fry properly.
655
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,140
There are two points between
656
00:27:56,142 --> 00:27:59,910
the top and the bottom right
now. That is so, so close.
657
00:27:59,912 --> 00:28:01,445
Yeah, like
literally, it can go any way.
658
00:28:01,447 --> 00:28:02,880
[Damaris]
The stakes are so high.
659
00:28:02,882 --> 00:28:07,051
I am hoping that they really
just like, leave it all in the fryer.
660
00:28:07,053 --> 00:28:09,286
Well, they should definitely
take out at some point.
661
00:28:09,288 --> 00:28:11,789
I mean, I, actually, like,
don't leave it in the fryer.
662
00:28:11,791 --> 00:28:13,157
Golden brown and crispy.
663
00:28:22,567 --> 00:28:23,901
Twenty-two minutes.
664
00:28:23,903 --> 00:28:26,537
[Aarti] Well, our chefs have
to make us a fried fantasy
665
00:28:26,539 --> 00:28:28,105
with a pickled element.
666
00:28:28,107 --> 00:28:30,808
Nothing from aisle five
and a mandatory--
667
00:28:30,810 --> 00:28:31,909
- Cold bar.
- Cold bar.
668
00:28:31,911 --> 00:28:34,478
[Nick]
I'm making a bahn mi,
669
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,248
because there's a place in Chicago
where Guy has been on Diners,
670
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:43,020
Drive-Ins and Dives, and they do
a fried pork belly banh mi sandwich.
671
00:28:45,156 --> 00:28:46,123
[moans]
672
00:28:46,125 --> 00:28:47,658
Like them.
673
00:28:47,660 --> 00:28:49,760
[Nick] And I went
to Chicago and had it.
674
00:28:49,762 --> 00:28:52,196
I've been to 38
Triple D restaurants.
675
00:28:54,032 --> 00:28:57,234
Some may call me a stalker.
I just call it food fanatic.
676
00:28:57,236 --> 00:28:58,836
I'm pickling these
vegetables right now.
677
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:00,804
First thing that
I get started on
678
00:29:00,806 --> 00:29:03,574
because I want to give them
enough time is my pickled veggies.
679
00:29:03,576 --> 00:29:04,708
[Guy]
What's the game plan?
680
00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:06,910
[Nick] I'm going to do
a fried pork belly banh mi.
681
00:29:06,912 --> 00:29:07,911
[Guy] What else
are you going to fry?
682
00:29:07,913 --> 00:29:09,079
The game is fried.
683
00:29:09,081 --> 00:29:11,615
[Nick] I hear the little
bird in my ear again,
684
00:29:11,617 --> 00:29:14,818
fried, fried,
fried, fried, fried.
685
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:20,057
So now I'm frying my jalapenos and beets
and some artichokes from the cold bar.
686
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:22,226
So these are going to get fried.
687
00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:23,894
I'm in second place going into
the second round,
688
00:29:23,896 --> 00:29:27,765
and I know I really have to
push the gamut on this thing.
689
00:29:27,767 --> 00:29:31,568
I really want to win this so bad
because I want to donate this money
690
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:33,470
to No Kid Hungry Foundation.
691
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:35,105
There are hungry kids
692
00:29:35,107 --> 00:29:38,575
any little bit that I could give to
help, I'm more than glad to do it.
693
00:29:38,577 --> 00:29:39,943
So what's the fry going to be?
694
00:29:39,945 --> 00:29:42,146
I'm going to do a chicken parmo.
695
00:29:42,148 --> 00:29:43,847
It's an Northern English dish.
696
00:29:43,849 --> 00:29:44,782
Okay.
697
00:29:44,784 --> 00:29:47,117
And it's my husband's,
like, favorite.
698
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:48,986
- So I'm going to pound the chicken breast out.
- [Guy] Okay.
699
00:29:48,988 --> 00:29:51,221
I'm going to batter it, fry it,
and top it with bechamel and
700
00:29:51,223 --> 00:29:53,157
then cheddar cheese.
701
00:29:53,159 --> 00:29:54,992
- You said...
- Sounds fried to me.
702
00:29:54,994 --> 00:29:56,026
You said a fried fantasy.
703
00:29:56,028 --> 00:29:58,195
I need to work on
my pickled element.
704
00:29:58,197 --> 00:30:01,732
Just a really simple ratio of
one-to-one water-vinegar.
705
00:30:01,734 --> 00:30:03,767
I think the garlic
from the cold bar
706
00:30:03,769 --> 00:30:08,539
is going to be great to pickle with
those onions just to add extra flavor.
707
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:15,112
I need the bechamel sauce to
be thick and creamy and indulgent.
708
00:30:15,114 --> 00:30:18,182
Ten thousand dollars
would be immensely helpful
709
00:30:18,184 --> 00:30:20,918
to Preserve International
to that kind of money
710
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,987
can make a massive difference
to our programs
711
00:30:23,989 --> 00:30:26,123
and to the women that we serve.
712
00:30:28,159 --> 00:30:29,760
[producer speaking]
713
00:30:29,762 --> 00:30:30,828
I think so.
714
00:30:30,830 --> 00:30:32,162
What we're thinking here?
715
00:30:32,164 --> 00:30:33,430
I'm thinking fried chicken,
716
00:30:33,432 --> 00:30:34,965
I need to mix in the
buttermilk and the hot sauce.
717
00:30:34,967 --> 00:30:39,069
And then I'm going to dredge
them in flour with some fries
718
00:30:39,071 --> 00:30:41,171
that I'm doing a waffle style,
basically making like nachos,
719
00:30:41,173 --> 00:30:43,040
but we're going to make
them with french fries.
720
00:30:43,042 --> 00:30:45,242
So it's like fried chicken
fried nachos,
721
00:30:45,244 --> 00:30:47,744
the red peppers from the bar.
722
00:30:47,746 --> 00:30:49,947
- I'm going to get it done.
- I dig it.
723
00:30:49,949 --> 00:30:51,748
[Crystal] Okay.
While my chicken is frying,
724
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:53,617
I'm going to work on
my cheese sauce.
725
00:30:53,619 --> 00:30:56,954
Pan cheese sauce really is
boring, but it is an excellent base,
726
00:30:56,956 --> 00:31:00,858
especially when you have like
two minutes to get this food cooked.
727
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:05,162
I got my pickled
jalapenos in my queso sauce.
728
00:31:07,732 --> 00:31:10,167
[Hunter] Twelve minutes to go!
12 in the competition.
729
00:31:10,169 --> 00:31:13,704
12 minutes from now somebody
is about to win 10,000 dollars.
730
00:31:13,706 --> 00:31:16,106
Just a little change.
731
00:31:16,108 --> 00:31:19,042
[Nick] Next I got to
work on my pork belly,
732
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:22,980
so I slice it, I dice it,
I roll it right in that panko
733
00:31:22,982 --> 00:31:25,816
and goes right into the fryer.
Can't crowd these up.
734
00:31:25,818 --> 00:31:27,851
Got to give them a
little room to breathe.
735
00:31:27,853 --> 00:31:35,592
Nothing is more anti-resolution
than frying fat in fat.
736
00:31:35,594 --> 00:31:37,561
When that pork belly
comes out of the fryer,
737
00:31:37,563 --> 00:31:39,763
I wanted to stop the
competition and eat it myself.
738
00:31:39,765 --> 00:31:44,101
Go to season these right when
they come out so they can soak it up.
739
00:31:44,103 --> 00:31:47,804
So, I'm making a spicy sauce
here, but I can't use aisle five.
740
00:31:47,806 --> 00:31:49,273
I don't have mayonnaise.
741
00:31:49,275 --> 00:31:52,276
So I got sour cream,
I got Sriracha.
742
00:31:52,278 --> 00:31:54,945
Then I have this
silky spicy sauce.
743
00:31:54,947 --> 00:31:56,046
[Aarti] What?
744
00:31:56,048 --> 00:31:57,848
I love that. I love that.
745
00:31:57,850 --> 00:31:59,182
Stop it right now.
746
00:31:59,184 --> 00:32:00,317
[Nick] Yes.
747
00:32:00,985 --> 00:32:02,286
Pretty good.
748
00:32:02,288 --> 00:32:04,521
It's hard to
find the space to do it.
749
00:32:04,523 --> 00:32:07,190
While the bechamel sauce is
cooking, the onions are pickling.
750
00:32:07,192 --> 00:32:10,127
I know it's time to start on
my dredge for the chicken.
751
00:32:10,129 --> 00:32:11,962
Okay, we can do this.
752
00:32:11,964 --> 00:32:15,332
The most important thing,
but that it has a really nice
753
00:32:15,334 --> 00:32:19,236
crispy coating
and a juicy inside.
754
00:32:20,004 --> 00:32:21,071
Okay.
755
00:32:23,875 --> 00:32:27,144
This is a fried challenge.
I can't mess up this fry.
756
00:32:27,146 --> 00:32:29,613
And I'm gonna do a quick
salad, which I got to do right now
757
00:32:29,615 --> 00:32:30,948
with the pickles.
758
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:34,918
And that pickled element
is really going to balance out
759
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,087
the decadence
of that chicken parmo.
760
00:32:37,089 --> 00:32:39,489
Garlic, my husband is
literally going to die when
761
00:32:39,491 --> 00:32:42,092
I'm making this.
He is going to lose it.
762
00:32:42,094 --> 00:32:46,096
He loves it when I put loads of
cheese on the top of this chicken.
763
00:32:46,098 --> 00:32:48,365
Right there, sets it there.
764
00:32:51,436 --> 00:32:53,103
[Crystal] Based
on the taste of my chicken,
765
00:32:53,105 --> 00:32:55,339
I couldn't even tell that I
couldn't use the spice aisle.
766
00:32:55,341 --> 00:32:57,140
It was delicious.
767
00:32:57,142 --> 00:33:00,043
So I get the waffle fries
into the fryer.
768
00:33:01,045 --> 00:33:03,313
[Guy] Tell me what
you've got that's fried?
769
00:33:03,315 --> 00:33:05,882
[Crystal] I got fried chicken
and I'm frying up the french fries.
770
00:33:05,884 --> 00:33:07,284
[Guy] And then you
got the cheese sauce.
771
00:33:07,286 --> 00:33:09,353
Cheese sauce
and then from the cold bar,
772
00:33:09,355 --> 00:33:11,922
I also got the pickled
hot red chili peppers.
773
00:33:11,924 --> 00:33:14,024
[Guy] Okay.
774
00:33:14,026 --> 00:33:17,160
[Crystal] If I win, the money will
definitely go towards Chris Kitchen
775
00:33:17,162 --> 00:33:18,562
and building the food blog.
776
00:33:18,564 --> 00:33:20,530
I want to take it
to the next level.
777
00:33:20,532 --> 00:33:24,201
Reach more people so that I can
show people even better delicious,
778
00:33:24,203 --> 00:33:28,305
simple dishes and how to
cook and make it just boom.
779
00:33:28,307 --> 00:33:31,008
[Guy] Five minutes, chefs,
five minutes to be plated.
780
00:33:31,010 --> 00:33:32,876
[Nick] I start
spreading my spicy sauce
781
00:33:32,878 --> 00:33:36,013
all over these
crusted baguettes.
782
00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:39,683
I want the pork belly
to be the main attraction,
783
00:33:39,685 --> 00:33:44,221
putting on my fried jalapenos
and my fried artichokes.
784
00:33:44,223 --> 00:33:47,958
I got the cool, crispy pickled
vegetables ready to go,
785
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,227
and I start
layering that on top.
786
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:53,997
[Guy] Three
minutes, chefs, three.
787
00:33:53,999 --> 00:33:56,967
[Elizabeth] This is the
challenge, I think as a home cook,
788
00:33:56,969 --> 00:33:59,236
here, I'm thinking, how am I
going to make this dish look good?
789
00:33:59,238 --> 00:34:03,240
Slice the chicken in half,
I throw it onto the plate
790
00:34:03,242 --> 00:34:05,976
and put some of
that salad on there.
791
00:34:07,145 --> 00:34:09,179
It's not really a feast, is it?
792
00:34:09,181 --> 00:34:11,048
Ninety seconds.
793
00:34:12,083 --> 00:34:13,583
[Crystal]
I'm starting to plate,
794
00:34:13,585 --> 00:34:15,419
so I start with my waffle fries
795
00:34:15,421 --> 00:34:18,989
and then I add the fried chicken
and then I add my toppings.
796
00:34:18,991 --> 00:34:23,226
And then I put in my pickled red
hot chili peppers from the Cold Bar,
797
00:34:23,228 --> 00:34:25,695
and then I take the cheese
sauce and put it to the side
798
00:34:25,697 --> 00:34:27,664
and place it in a ramekin.
799
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:30,967
Don't put the cheese sauce on
because the fried chicken will get soggy.
800
00:34:30,969 --> 00:34:33,837
I want that fried
fantasy coming through.
801
00:34:33,839 --> 00:34:39,242
Five, four, three, two, one.
802
00:34:39,244 --> 00:34:42,045
- That's it, chefs.
- [judges cheering]
803
00:34:42,047 --> 00:34:45,849
Great job, you all.
Great job.
804
00:34:45,851 --> 00:34:48,085
[Nick] Is it
anti-resolution? Yes.
805
00:34:48,087 --> 00:34:49,553
Can you even fit
it in your mouth?
806
00:34:49,555 --> 00:34:50,954
I'm not sure.
807
00:34:56,894 --> 00:34:59,863
[Hunter] Chefs, judges,
this is game two
808
00:34:59,865 --> 00:35:04,734
of our anti-resolution games, our food
fanatics have to make a fried fantasy.
809
00:35:04,736 --> 00:35:06,336
[Guy] Up first?
Chef Nick.
810
00:35:06,338 --> 00:35:08,205
[Nick] All right. So what
you got in front of you
811
00:35:08,207 --> 00:35:11,475
is a fried pork belly
banh mi sandwich.
812
00:35:11,477 --> 00:35:13,877
You got fried artichoke
hearts in there.
813
00:35:13,879 --> 00:35:18,181
Then I made a quick pickle on
some jalapenos, carrots and cucumber.
814
00:35:18,183 --> 00:35:19,983
I couldn't go on aisle five.
815
00:35:19,985 --> 00:35:23,253
I couldn't use mayonnaise,
and then I got to make a sauce.
816
00:35:23,255 --> 00:35:26,790
So I got some sour
cream, Sriracha,
817
00:35:26,792 --> 00:35:30,293
cilantro and just made a
nice, thick and hearty sauce.
818
00:35:36,934 --> 00:35:39,369
[Chris] This
is gosh darn delicious.
819
00:35:39,371 --> 00:35:43,740
I love the beets, I love the
freshness and brightness
820
00:35:43,742 --> 00:35:47,210
and the fact that you said
that you didn't have mayo.
821
00:35:47,212 --> 00:35:50,080
You fudged it pretty good
because it tastes like there's some
822
00:35:50,082 --> 00:35:53,884
really beautiful, decadent
smear of aioli in here.
823
00:35:53,886 --> 00:35:58,355
I think that those little
fried pork belly nuggets
824
00:35:58,357 --> 00:36:01,291
are out-of-this-world delicious.
825
00:36:01,293 --> 00:36:02,592
[Nick] Thank you.
826
00:36:02,594 --> 00:36:04,027
The only thing for me is,
827
00:36:04,029 --> 00:36:06,763
is this a little difficult
to eat all together.
828
00:36:06,765 --> 00:36:08,031
Yeah.
829
00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:09,533
[Aarti] I think
you nailed fried fantasy.
830
00:36:09,535 --> 00:36:12,269
I also think that
you were really assertive
831
00:36:12,271 --> 00:36:14,237
with the amount of pickled
elements in your sandwich,
832
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,874
and that was very smart because
otherwise it would taste way too rich.
833
00:36:17,876 --> 00:36:18,808
Thank you.
834
00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:21,278
Fantastic.
Up next, chef Crystal.
835
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,947
Hi, chefs. So I'd like for
you to pour the cheese sauce
836
00:36:23,949 --> 00:36:26,116
on top of my fr-achos.
837
00:36:26,118 --> 00:36:29,686
When I think of fried food,
I think of deep fried chicken.
838
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:31,755
I decided to take
some chicken tenders,
839
00:36:31,757 --> 00:36:33,690
slice them up
and give you chicken bites.
840
00:36:33,692 --> 00:36:36,259
Because we didn't
have aisle five for spices,
841
00:36:36,261 --> 00:36:39,629
I used buttermilk and hot
sauce to marinate my chicken.
842
00:36:39,631 --> 00:36:43,099
And then I also played a
really big to the pickled element.
843
00:36:43,101 --> 00:36:46,336
I got the diced pickled
chilies to my keso.
844
00:36:47,171 --> 00:36:49,272
[Damaris] I love
what you've done here.
845
00:36:49,274 --> 00:36:51,575
I think your chicken
is absolutely delicious.
846
00:36:51,577 --> 00:36:54,778
I wish, though, that you
had fried one other element
847
00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:58,415
so that we could have
really seen your fry skills.
848
00:36:58,417 --> 00:37:02,786
[Chris] This is just so tasty that
chicken is so moist and crispy.
849
00:37:02,788 --> 00:37:07,123
- It's like a chicken cotton ball like, mwah, wonderful.
- Thank you.
850
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:09,960
[Aarti] When I was in high
school, there was this boy
851
00:37:09,962 --> 00:37:13,096
who was bad news and I
wanted him to be my boyfriend
852
00:37:13,098 --> 00:37:14,564
- so bad.
- [Crystal] Okay.
853
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:16,366
That is what this makes
me think of.
854
00:37:16,368 --> 00:37:18,602
This is that bad boyfriend
855
00:37:18,604 --> 00:37:19,903
you cannot resist.
856
00:37:19,905 --> 00:37:23,840
Your keso is beautiful.
It's not too salty.
857
00:37:23,842 --> 00:37:26,142
- So well done on the balance.
- [Crystal] Thank you.
858
00:37:26,144 --> 00:37:29,012
Last but not least, chef Elizabeth,
what did you make for us?
859
00:37:29,014 --> 00:37:32,082
For me, a fantasy is something
that sort of takes you somewhere else,
860
00:37:32,084 --> 00:37:33,083
and that's what this is.
861
00:37:33,085 --> 00:37:34,551
It's a Chicken Parmo.
862
00:37:34,553 --> 00:37:36,686
My husband is from
a town in northern England.
863
00:37:36,688 --> 00:37:38,321
This is one of those dishes
864
00:37:38,323 --> 00:37:40,824
for him that when I make it, it
just makes him feel like home.
865
00:37:40,826 --> 00:37:42,359
It takes him back.
866
00:37:42,361 --> 00:37:44,894
It is pretty specific to that
region of northern England.
867
00:37:44,896 --> 00:37:47,764
So it's a deep fried
chicken cutlet
868
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:51,167
that's been topped with béchamel
sauce and then cheddar cheese.
869
00:37:51,169 --> 00:37:53,803
And then I also did
a quick pickled onion,
870
00:37:53,805 --> 00:37:55,639
and then I mix that
into a quick salad.
871
00:37:55,641 --> 00:37:58,241
[Chris] You executed
this really well,
872
00:37:58,243 --> 00:38:04,014
and I really would have loved like another
gallon of béchamel over this chicken.
873
00:38:04,016 --> 00:38:06,049
- But overall... [kisses].
- Thank you.
874
00:38:06,051 --> 00:38:08,718
[Chris] Your
husband's a lucky dude.
875
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:11,721
I like the way that you tossed
your salad in the pickles.
876
00:38:11,723 --> 00:38:13,456
I think that you played
the game really well,
877
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:15,759
choosing what you chose
from the Cold Bar.
878
00:38:15,761 --> 00:38:19,896
For me, the only problem is that
the salad brings it out of fried fantasy
879
00:38:19,898 --> 00:38:21,564
and into well-balanced meal.
880
00:38:21,566 --> 00:38:22,899
Okay.
881
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:25,802
It is so hard to fry
a piece of chicken this thick,
882
00:38:25,804 --> 00:38:29,205
and you did such a beautiful
job of getting it nice and juicy,
883
00:38:29,207 --> 00:38:32,008
cooked all the way through,
but not burned on the outside.
884
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:33,743
- So well done.
- Thank you.
885
00:38:33,745 --> 00:38:35,111
[Guy] All right,
thank you very much.
886
00:38:35,113 --> 00:38:36,880
We're going to send
you back to the kitchens.
887
00:38:36,882 --> 00:38:38,281
Let the judges deliberate.
888
00:38:38,283 --> 00:38:40,650
Get these scores together
and we'll call you back.
889
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:41,985
Great job.
890
00:38:42,219 --> 00:38:44,187
Whose fried fantasy
was good enough
891
00:38:44,189 --> 00:38:46,122
to make a 10,000 dollar
winner reality?
892
00:38:46,124 --> 00:38:48,091
I think
Crystal nailed the fantasy.
893
00:38:48,093 --> 00:38:51,828
I think she created an
entire new dish fr-achos.
894
00:38:51,830 --> 00:38:54,798
Crystal's dish only fried
think Crystal actually made
895
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,901
is the fried chicken, and I
wish that she made the fries.
896
00:38:57,903 --> 00:39:00,770
[Chris] I loved Nick's
sandwich, that pork belly.
897
00:39:00,772 --> 00:39:04,774
It tastes delicious, and Nick
played the game really well.
898
00:39:04,776 --> 00:39:06,910
But for me,
that was, it was impossible
899
00:39:06,912 --> 00:39:09,012
to get a bite with
everything in there.
900
00:39:09,014 --> 00:39:11,915
I think Elizabeth
was the most successful
901
00:39:11,917 --> 00:39:15,618
in her use of the pickles,
almost like a pickled salad.
902
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:19,823
But I think that then it took the
whole dish out of fried fantasy.
903
00:39:19,825 --> 00:39:21,891
And the fact
that she was speaking to that
904
00:39:21,893 --> 00:39:24,894
like something she does for a
husband was really beautiful.
905
00:39:24,896 --> 00:39:27,063
All right, let's score it up.
906
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:37,207
All righty, then.
Would you do it again?
907
00:39:37,209 --> 00:39:38,641
- Absolutely.
- Right now.
908
00:39:38,643 --> 00:39:40,009
Hands down.
909
00:39:40,011 --> 00:39:41,778
Right now, throw it
down, let's go right again.
910
00:39:41,780 --> 00:39:43,113
Round three.
911
00:39:43,115 --> 00:39:45,548
One of you
will get 10,000 dollars
912
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:47,984
and a chance to come
back and compete again
913
00:39:47,986 --> 00:39:50,320
for the return engagement
here in Flavortown Market.
914
00:39:50,322 --> 00:39:51,955
And let's take a
look at the numbers.
915
00:39:51,957 --> 00:39:53,590
Elizabeth,
916
00:39:53,592 --> 00:39:59,095
you gave us a 15 in Game play,
a 17 in Taste
917
00:39:59,097 --> 00:40:04,200
and an eight in Plating for a
total of 40, a point up for 79.
918
00:40:05,269 --> 00:40:08,104
Crystal, 41, you're our leader.
919
00:40:08,506 --> 00:40:10,340
15 in Game play.
920
00:40:10,342 --> 00:40:16,880
18 in Taste, and cheese sauce,
eight in Platin for a total of 41
921
00:40:16,882 --> 00:40:20,250
for a total of 82.
922
00:40:23,053 --> 00:40:26,990
Nick, you're going to have to
increase by two points to tie.
923
00:40:26,992 --> 00:40:28,625
See what you get.
924
00:40:28,627 --> 00:40:32,162
Game play 18,
must have been pickle,
925
00:40:32,164 --> 00:40:37,567
17 in Taste, plating for
Eight, 43, Nick, by one point.
926
00:40:38,169 --> 00:40:40,036
And Nick...
927
00:40:40,171 --> 00:40:42,038
That's a highest score.
928
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,007
Crystal and Elizabeth
Keep doing what you're doing
929
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:45,809
and you keep inspiring
people and keep learning.
930
00:40:45,811 --> 00:40:47,710
I think this was
great steps for you
931
00:40:47,712 --> 00:40:49,913
and it was really a pleasure,
so thank you very much.
932
00:40:49,915 --> 00:40:51,848
Coming here
today definitely validated
933
00:40:51,850 --> 00:40:53,616
that I'm not just the home cook.
934
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:57,420
I mean, I got some real talent
behind this here stove.
935
00:40:57,422 --> 00:41:01,524
Cooking in Flavortown has
sort of validated me as a chef,
936
00:41:01,526 --> 00:41:04,327
and I'm really excited to take
some of those lessons home with me.
937
00:41:04,329 --> 00:41:07,997
Ladies and gentlemen, the
anti-resolution winner
938
00:41:07,999 --> 00:41:09,032
kicking off the new year.
939
00:41:09,034 --> 00:41:11,301
Give it up for chef Nick.
940
00:41:13,737 --> 00:41:15,505
- Congratulations.
- [Nick Farrer] Thank you so much.
941
00:41:15,507 --> 00:41:17,307
Never in the history of my life
942
00:41:17,309 --> 00:41:19,142
did I ever think that
this would happen, ever.
943
00:41:19,144 --> 00:41:20,343
Now what do you do?
944
00:41:20,345 --> 00:41:22,545
[Nick] I'm a vice president
of sales of a Fortune 500
945
00:41:22,547 --> 00:41:23,680
company out of Boston.
946
00:41:23,682 --> 00:41:24,881
Get out.
947
00:41:24,883 --> 00:41:26,883
Yeah, I was a professional
baseball player, too.
948
00:41:26,885 --> 00:41:28,551
Oh, yeah, that's what
everybody is on here.
949
00:41:28,553 --> 00:41:29,752
They're professional
baseball player.
950
00:41:29,754 --> 00:41:32,322
They work at Fortune 500
companies and then they come
951
00:41:32,324 --> 00:41:35,058
and just, you know, kick some
butt on Guy's Grocery Games.
952
00:41:35,060 --> 00:41:36,125
You hear it every day.
953
00:41:36,127 --> 00:41:37,894
Now what are you gonna
do with the 10,000 bucks?
954
00:41:37,896 --> 00:41:41,030
I'd like to talk to you about
No Kid Hungry.
955
00:41:41,032 --> 00:41:44,534
Your 10,000 bucks
in your name, chef Nick,
956
00:41:44,536 --> 00:41:46,536
going to No Kid Hungry.
You got to love that.
957
00:41:46,538 --> 00:41:47,837
- Awesome.
- That is awesome.
958
00:41:47,839 --> 00:41:49,739
Now you're going to come
back to make a return trip
959
00:41:49,741 --> 00:41:54,010
to Flavortown Market,
battle two other chefs.
960
00:41:54,012 --> 00:41:56,446
I'll see you guys next week
on Guy's Grocery Games.
961
00:41:56,448 --> 00:41:57,947
Adios.
962
00:41:57,949 --> 00:41:59,349
[all cheering]
