1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:01,600
You know, Hunter,
some of the most

2
00:00:01,602 --> 00:00:03,035
incredible, global dishes

3
00:00:03,037 --> 00:00:04,236
aren't compared to restaurants.

4
00:00:04,238 --> 00:00:06,972
No, they are served at homes
around the world.

5
00:00:06,974 --> 00:00:10,843
If my bubby knew I was making
mashed potato mujadara...

6
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:14,013
So, instead of our usual
line-up of professional chefs,

7
00:00:14,015 --> 00:00:16,215
we've invited three
obsessed people

8
00:00:16,217 --> 00:00:17,383
to cook world cuisines

9
00:00:17,385 --> 00:00:20,819
steeped in the real deal
epic flavors they grew up on.

10
00:00:20,821 --> 00:00:22,187
This is an opportunity
of a lifetime.

11
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:23,956
Unfortunately, <i>our Grocery Games</i>

12
00:00:23,958 --> 00:00:25,991
spell 'trouble' in any language.

13
00:00:25,993 --> 00:00:27,993
<i>- Oui, monsieur.
- Sacrebleu.</i>

14
00:00:27,995 --> 00:00:29,361
It's all part of the month-long

15
00:00:29,363 --> 00:00:32,197
real cook invasion of
food lovers in Flavortown.

16
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:33,899
That is phenomenal.

17
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,934
[Hunter] Get ready for
global food fanatics tonight,

18
00:00:35,936 --> 00:00:37,302
<i>on Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

19
00:00:40,173 --> 00:00:42,441
All right, Hunter, let's meet
our Global Food Fanatics.

20
00:00:42,443 --> 00:00:45,310
Now, first up, we have
Emerson Bartolome,

21
00:00:45,312 --> 00:00:46,812
San Diego surfer who started

22
00:00:46,814 --> 00:00:48,347
cooking Filipino food as a kid,

23
00:00:48,349 --> 00:00:50,516
and now cooks it
for his own kids.

24
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:52,418
<i>[Emerson] I am a IT manager</i>

25
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:54,253
<i>for the University
of California, San Diego.</i>

26
00:00:54,255 --> 00:00:55,621
And I'm a Global Food Fanatic,

27
00:00:55,623 --> 00:00:57,856
because I cook amazing
Filipino food.

28
00:00:57,858 --> 00:01:01,126
<i>So, I'm bringing my traditional
Filipino islander recipes to Flavortown,</i>

29
00:01:01,128 --> 00:01:02,194
<i>so I can show my daughters</i>

30
00:01:02,196 --> 00:01:04,063
<i>the importance
of culture in food.</i>

31
00:01:04,065 --> 00:01:06,999
I'm gonna ride this wave
through Flavortown.

32
00:01:07,001 --> 00:01:08,133
[Guy] There he is, brother.

33
00:01:08,135 --> 00:01:09,201
What up?

34
00:01:09,836 --> 00:01:11,270
Next up, Giangi Townsend.

35
00:01:11,272 --> 00:01:14,173
A French-Italian food blogger
who loves sharing

36
00:01:14,175 --> 00:01:17,142
fresh and simple French
recipes with the world.

37
00:01:18,945 --> 00:01:21,914
I'm the blogger, founder
of Giangi's kitchen.

38
00:01:21,916 --> 00:01:23,882
And, I am from Phoenix, Arizona,

39
00:01:23,884 --> 00:01:25,317
but I was born and raised
in France.

40
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,052
<i>I spent my summers in Italy.</i>

41
00:01:27,054 --> 00:01:29,088
<i>So, I like to bring
a little bit of the two</i>

42
00:01:29,090 --> 00:01:30,355
<i>combined flavors.</i>

43
00:01:30,357 --> 00:01:33,325
I'm thoroughly thrilled
to shop Flavortown.

44
00:01:33,327 --> 00:01:35,194
Are you kidding me?
This is a dream come true

45
00:01:35,196 --> 00:01:36,328
for so many of us.

46
00:01:36,330 --> 00:01:38,030
I'm excited to do this.

47
00:01:38,032 --> 00:01:38,964
[Guy] There she is.

48
00:01:38,966 --> 00:01:41,233
We're triple G, you're Giangi.

49
00:01:41,235 --> 00:01:42,367
Thank you, that's right.

50
00:01:42,369 --> 00:01:43,302
Get it?

51
00:01:43,304 --> 00:01:45,637
And, finally, Jordan Urnovitz,

52
00:01:45,639 --> 00:01:47,806
named Central Arizona's
<i>Top Home Chef.</i>

53
00:01:47,808 --> 00:01:49,308
Now, he loves to cook
the Mediterranean

54
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:52,211
and Middle-eastern cuisines
that are part of his roots.

55
00:01:53,746 --> 00:01:55,380
After winning the Arizona
home top chef,

56
00:01:55,382 --> 00:01:57,116
I was actually invited to cook
at a bunch of different

57
00:01:57,118 --> 00:01:58,817
non-profit organizations.

58
00:01:58,819 --> 00:02:01,920
Good opportunity for me to
cook my food for a good cause.

59
00:02:01,922 --> 00:02:03,288
Growing up in
a Jewish household,

60
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:04,923
the thing that always
connected us

61
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:05,757
was food.

62
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:07,226
<i>Super perfect for Global Food.</i>

63
00:02:07,228 --> 00:02:08,627
<i>I'd like to read about it,
study it,</i>

64
00:02:08,629 --> 00:02:09,728
<i>learn the ingredients.</i>

65
00:02:09,730 --> 00:02:11,196
<i>My strategy going in today</i>

66
00:02:11,198 --> 00:02:13,899
<i>is really just put the love
into the food here</i>

67
00:02:13,901 --> 00:02:15,467
that I put in the food at home.

68
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:16,902
[Guy] Bring it.

69
00:02:16,904 --> 00:02:18,937
Nice banana shirt.

70
00:02:18,939 --> 00:02:20,739
Welcome, everybody,
really nice to have you.

71
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:21,907
- Thanks for having us.
- Thank you.

72
00:02:21,909 --> 00:02:23,342
Normally, we start here
Flavortown market,

73
00:02:23,344 --> 00:02:25,077
it's professional
restaurant chefs

74
00:02:25,079 --> 00:02:26,445
that are behind those carts.

75
00:02:26,447 --> 00:02:27,880
[Hunter] But, all this month,

76
00:02:27,882 --> 00:02:29,248
we're giving real people

77
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:31,049
a chance to show us
what they can do,

78
00:02:31,051 --> 00:02:32,151
making real dishes

79
00:02:32,153 --> 00:02:33,352
here in Flavortown market.

80
00:02:33,354 --> 00:02:34,653
[Guy] And, tonight,
we've invited

81
00:02:34,655 --> 00:02:36,221
Global Food Fanatics

82
00:02:36,223 --> 00:02:38,157
to share their world cuisines

83
00:02:38,159 --> 00:02:40,626
that are also their
life-long passion.

84
00:02:40,628 --> 00:02:42,628
Here's the sad state of affairs.

85
00:02:42,630 --> 00:02:44,396
Besides the fact that
Hunter is taller than me.

86
00:02:44,398 --> 00:02:45,297
- It's okay.
- Um,

87
00:02:45,299 --> 00:02:46,632
the person with the lowest score

88
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:48,600
at the end of the first round
will be eliminated.

89
00:02:48,602 --> 00:02:51,336
But, the chef with
the highest combined score

90
00:02:51,338 --> 00:02:52,738
at the end of both rounds

91
00:02:52,740 --> 00:02:56,208
will receive a guaranteed
$10,000 win.

92
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:58,944
Plus, a return ticket
to Flavortown

93
00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:00,846
to compete against two other

94
00:03:00,848 --> 00:03:03,115
food fanatics for up to $20,000.

95
00:03:03,117 --> 00:03:05,450
[speaking French]

96
00:03:08,888 --> 00:03:10,022
So, for your first challenge...

97
00:03:10,024 --> 00:03:11,223
[all laughing]

98
00:03:11,225 --> 00:03:14,092
I want you to hit the judges
with your very best

99
00:03:14,094 --> 00:03:16,228
international repertoire

100
00:03:16,230 --> 00:03:20,332
of your signature global dish.

101
00:03:20,334 --> 00:03:22,067
Chefs, we are asking you

102
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:24,636
to make one of your signature
global dishes,

103
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:27,172
playing one of our
signature grocery games.

104
00:03:27,174 --> 00:03:28,640
A little something we call...

105
00:03:28,642 --> 00:03:30,075
'Keep it sample'.

106
00:03:30,077 --> 00:03:31,276
- Keep it sample.
- [Guy] Keep it sample.

107
00:03:31,278 --> 00:03:33,045
So, we've got four sample tables

108
00:03:33,047 --> 00:03:34,613
around Flavortown market,

109
00:03:34,615 --> 00:03:37,082
offering food items that satisfy

110
00:03:37,084 --> 00:03:39,151
the most toothpicky of eaters.

111
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:40,986
Toothpicky of eaters,

112
00:03:41,154 --> 00:03:42,354
-that's not bad, not bad.
-Thank you very much. Thank you.

113
00:03:42,356 --> 00:03:43,989
[Hunter] Check out all
the gourmet sections

114
00:03:43,991 --> 00:03:45,324
at the top of your shop, though,

115
00:03:45,326 --> 00:03:46,792
because you're gonna have to use

116
00:03:46,794 --> 00:03:49,094
two of those sample
ingredients in your dish.

117
00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:52,331
30 minutes to make your
signature global dish

118
00:03:52,333 --> 00:03:53,865
featuring sample items.

119
00:03:53,867 --> 00:03:54,933
Okay?

120
00:03:55,301 --> 00:03:56,835
- [Guy] You ready?
- Ready.

121
00:03:56,837 --> 00:03:59,304
All right, now,
out of the three of you,

122
00:03:59,306 --> 00:04:01,106
which two do you think
will be the one that

123
00:04:01,108 --> 00:04:02,374
goes for all the money?

124
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,112
[Hunter] It's-- when they
watch it, they...

125
00:04:07,114 --> 00:04:09,481
We have to come up
with a better plan, okay?

126
00:04:09,483 --> 00:04:11,283
Dude, whisper next time.
Say it here.

127
00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:12,584
Let's mime it.

128
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:18,523
Ah, pizza bagels!

129
00:04:18,525 --> 00:04:21,026
Number one pizza bagels
in all of America.

130
00:04:21,028 --> 00:04:22,194
Try one.

131
00:04:22,196 --> 00:04:25,397
They tasted good, but
I'm not gonna cook with them.

132
00:04:25,399 --> 00:04:27,366
<i>So, I run over to
the next table.</i>

133
00:04:27,368 --> 00:04:29,968
[woman] Mini chicken corn dogs.

134
00:04:29,970 --> 00:04:31,003
If you're trying to make

135
00:04:31,005 --> 00:04:33,005
a delicious international snack,

136
00:04:33,007 --> 00:04:34,773
it's sweet, it's salty,

137
00:04:34,775 --> 00:04:36,341
it's got everything
that you need.

138
00:04:36,343 --> 00:04:39,011
Look at this, a little
mini chicken corn dog.

139
00:04:39,013 --> 00:04:41,613
It's crunchy, breading, salty...

140
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:43,048
<i>[Jordan] I grabbed
the mini corn dogs.</i>

141
00:04:43,050 --> 00:04:44,249
<i>Yeah, I go to the grocery store</i>

142
00:04:44,251 --> 00:04:45,617
<i>and I just hope to myself,</i>

143
00:04:45,619 --> 00:04:47,085
"Please, have mini corn dogs

144
00:04:47,087 --> 00:04:48,920
that I can put in
my global dish."

145
00:04:48,922 --> 00:04:50,622
[man] Think inside the box.

146
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:53,125
They may not look like
real potatoes,

147
00:04:53,127 --> 00:04:54,092
but they are.

148
00:04:54,094 --> 00:04:55,994
Or, they were in
a previous life.

149
00:04:55,996 --> 00:04:57,963
Get the cash with my mash.

150
00:04:57,965 --> 00:05:00,399
Come on, up the stakes
with my flakes.

151
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:02,367
Pretzels? Pretzels?

152
00:05:02,369 --> 00:05:04,236
- No? You good? All right.
- I'm sure.

153
00:05:04,238 --> 00:05:05,804
<i>[Jordan] My global dish,
today, I'm making...</i>

154
00:05:05,806 --> 00:05:07,172
Chicken, chicken, chicken.

155
00:05:07,174 --> 00:05:09,074
<i>Shawarma on top of
a mujaddara...</i>

156
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:10,909
What's up, Guy?

157
00:05:10,911 --> 00:05:12,244
<i>with a side of
Turkish ezme.</i>

158
00:05:12,246 --> 00:05:14,346
Mujaddara's traditionally
a rice and lentil dish

159
00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:16,348
with Middle-eastern spices
infused in it.

160
00:05:16,350 --> 00:05:18,317
<i>Ezme is a Turkish salad.</i>

161
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:20,185
<i>We would think of it as,
like, a salsa.</i>

162
00:05:20,187 --> 00:05:22,120
<i>Right now, I'm thinking
mini chicken corn dogs</i>

163
00:05:22,122 --> 00:05:24,122
<i>can somehow go into the ezme.</i>

164
00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:25,223
<i>The instant mashed potatoes</i>

165
00:05:25,225 --> 00:05:26,758
<i>are definitely going
in the mujaddara.</i>

166
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,627
<i>Think they'll play really well
with the lentil.</i>

167
00:05:28,629 --> 00:05:31,029
<i>The rice it will help
to really act as a thickener.</i>

168
00:05:31,031 --> 00:05:33,865
<i>I think the Flavortown
market is incredible.</i>

169
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:35,867
I've seen the show
a million times.

170
00:05:35,869 --> 00:05:37,703
<i>'Keep it sample' is the one
I didn't wanna see.</i>

171
00:05:37,705 --> 00:05:38,870
<i>Having four samples</i>

172
00:05:38,872 --> 00:05:41,239
<i>that you don't previously
have any knowledge of,</i>

173
00:05:41,241 --> 00:05:42,941
<i>and having to incorporate that
into a dish</i>

174
00:05:42,943 --> 00:05:44,309
<i>that you cook all the time</i>

175
00:05:44,311 --> 00:05:46,311
<i>is very difficult in

So, I'm not gonna use
a corn dog,

free samples?

184

And, I can also get some
fish crushed.

189

That's gonna be a challenge.

00:06:57,818 --> 00:06:59,050
Okay, I think I'm done.

214

347
00:11:35,295 --> 00:11:37,529
<i>so I will give myself
enough time to</i>

348
00:11:37,531 --> 00:11:39,030
<i>do something with them.</i>

349
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:40,298
Butter.

350
00:11:41,267 --> 00:11:43,334
All righty, I'm trying to do
the mashed potatoes...

351
00:11:43,336 --> 00:11:44,402
<i>It's very French.</i>

352
00:11:44,404 --> 00:11:45,904
<i>Never cooked as a kid.</i>

353
00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:47,405
<i>I wouldn't get into that room</i>

354
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:50,408
if my life depended on it.
[laughing]

355
00:11:50,410 --> 00:11:51,710
<i>I decided to get into cooking</i>

356
00:11:51,712 --> 00:11:53,712
<i>because I was tired
of not eating well.</i>

357
00:11:53,714 --> 00:11:55,213
<i>And, then, it kind of snowballed</i>

358
00:11:55,215 --> 00:11:57,282
and I got into more
intricate cooking.

359
00:11:57,284 --> 00:11:58,349
<i>And here I am.</i>

360
00:11:59,151 --> 00:12:01,119
<i>If I win that $20,000,</i>

361
00:12:01,121 --> 00:12:02,954
<i>I would love to have
a brand-new refrigerator.</i>

362
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:04,589
<i>A refrigerator that I can
just open.</i>

363
00:12:04,591 --> 00:12:06,324
<i>And, it's not so deep, and...</i>

364
00:12:06,326 --> 00:12:09,961
<i>Yes, and that will make a difference
in my kitchen and my cooking.</i>

365
00:12:09,963 --> 00:12:12,630
<i>Instant mashed potatoes
are just boring, I'm sorry.</i>

366
00:12:12,632 --> 00:12:14,332
<i>But, by putting some
garlic in it,</i>

367
00:12:14,334 --> 00:12:15,834
<i>with the Morbier cheese,</i>

368
00:12:15,836 --> 00:12:19,104
<i>with tons of gooey butter in it,</i>

369
00:12:19,106 --> 00:12:21,339
<i>I'm doing everything
in my power to make this</i>

370
00:12:21,341 --> 00:12:24,309
<i>instant mashed potato
taste decent.</i>

371
00:12:24,311 --> 00:12:27,145
Mm, I think this is my
biggest challenge ever.

372
00:12:28,147 --> 00:12:29,647
[whistles]

373
00:12:29,649 --> 00:12:30,615
[Guy] What are you making, chef?

374
00:12:30,617 --> 00:12:32,350
I'm making a classic
Filipino dish called

375
00:12:32,651 --> 00:12:33,885
pork adobo.

376
00:12:33,887 --> 00:12:35,386
- Got it.
- Yeah.

377
00:12:35,388 --> 00:12:37,288
Okay, so, you got
mashed potatoes and Pretzels,

378
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:38,256
those are going in there?

379
00:12:38,258 --> 00:12:40,225
- [Emerson] Yes, sir.
- [Guy] All right, buddy.

380
00:12:40,227 --> 00:12:42,293
<i>[Emerson] The difference
between a Filipino adobo sauce</i>

381
00:12:42,295 --> 00:12:43,995
<i>and a Latin sauce is that</i>

382
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:47,966
<i>Filipino adobo sauce
is comprised of soy sauce,</i>

383
00:12:47,968 --> 00:12:49,300
<i>vinegar, garlic,</i>

384
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:51,369
<i>and bay leaves.</i>

385
00:12:52,138 --> 00:12:54,005
<i>I'm the oldest in my family</i>

386
00:12:54,007 --> 00:12:57,108
<i>and I took a lot of interest
in cooking in the kitchen</i>

387
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:58,610
<i>when my mama would
cook dinner for us.</i>

388
00:12:59,245 --> 00:13:01,279
<i>My love for food has taken me</i>

389
00:13:01,281 --> 00:13:03,882
<i>cooking for friends, family,</i>

390
00:13:03,884 --> 00:13:06,818
<i>and taken me as far as
being on Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

391
00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:09,420
I never thought I'd be
cooking here, period.

392
00:13:09,422 --> 00:13:11,222
This is an opportunity
of a life-time.

393
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:12,824
[whoops]

394
00:13:12,891 --> 00:13:14,626
All right, judges,
usually in the kitchen,

395
00:13:14,628 --> 00:13:17,195
we have a lot of
executive chefs that compete.

396
00:13:17,197 --> 00:13:19,030
These are real-life chefs
from home.

397
00:13:19,032 --> 00:13:21,132
It's kind of like, you're
at your home watching it,

398
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:23,334
you can sit there
as an armchair quarterback

399
00:13:23,336 --> 00:13:25,970
and say, "I would have done
this. I would have done that."

400
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:28,206
Well, now, you're in it.
What do you do?

401
00:13:28,208 --> 00:13:29,507
[Jeff and Aarti] Yeah.

402
00:13:31,177 --> 00:13:33,778
<i>[Jordan] The mini chicken corn
dogs are going into the ezme.</i>

403
00:13:33,780 --> 00:13:37,148
<i>Ezme is a traditional Turkish
salad or salsa.</i>

404
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,184
<i>And, I've never had a salsa
I didn't like</i>

405
00:13:39,186 --> 00:13:41,152
that didn't have hot dogs.

406
00:13:41,154 --> 00:13:42,921
<i>But, I will add some fresh herbs</i>

407
00:13:42,923 --> 00:13:44,422
<i>based with tomato.</i>

408
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:49,594
So, I've actually been to
Israel only once in 1995.

409
00:13:49,596 --> 00:13:52,764
<i>My bubby took me as
a part of my bar-mitzvah trip.</i>

410
00:13:52,766 --> 00:13:56,067
<i>That's the first time I really
got to eat the culture's food</i>

411
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:58,002
in the actual culture's setting.

412
00:13:58,237 --> 00:13:59,337
<i>I fell in love with it before,</i>

413
00:13:59,339 --> 00:14:01,172
<i>but that's really what
did it for me.</i>

414
00:14:03,042 --> 00:14:04,275
[Guy] What is this
mixture right here?

415
00:14:04,277 --> 00:14:06,344
This is the hot dog ezme.

416
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:08,246
And, hot dog typically
goes in it?

417
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:10,148
Hot dog is a big
ingredient in it.

418
00:14:11,884 --> 00:14:12,951
Oh, my God.

419
00:14:15,187 --> 00:14:16,988
There is so many vast flavors.

420
00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:18,489
Hunter, you gotta come try this.

421
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:29,434
[Guy] Wow, that's flavor.

422
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:31,836
12 minutes.

423
00:14:31,838 --> 00:14:33,771
12 to go, guys.

424
00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:34,839
[Aarti] Have you
done this before?

425
00:14:34,841 --> 00:14:37,876
I competed, like,
seven years ago.

426
00:14:37,878 --> 00:14:39,344
- I think, I...
- It was like an all-stars thing.

427
00:14:39,346 --> 00:14:40,845
I took down the competition.

428
00:14:40,847 --> 00:14:42,580
Season seven of
<i>Food Network Star</i>

429
00:14:42,582 --> 00:14:44,215
and I'm gonna take down
the competition, here, today,

430
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:45,483
<i>in Guy's Grocery Games.</i>

431
00:14:45,485 --> 00:14:48,887
The chef that will be
checking out will be...

432
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:49,821
chef Mauro.

433
00:14:49,823 --> 00:14:51,055
I didn't win.

434
00:14:51,057 --> 00:14:52,957
- [laughing]
- [Troy] Mm-hmm.

435
00:14:53,192 --> 00:14:54,492
[groans]

436
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:57,729
<i>[Giangi] Now, I'm ready to
make my crust for my fish.</i>

437
00:14:57,731 --> 00:15:01,299
<i>So, I'm taking my peanut
butter filled Pretzels,</i>

438
00:15:01,301 --> 00:15:03,468
<i>and I'm going to crush
them to a little pulse.</i>

439
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:06,137
<i>French food is simple</i>

440
00:15:06,139 --> 00:15:07,805
<i>and incorporating a sample</i>

441
00:15:07,807 --> 00:15:08,873
<i>can be quite of a challenge.</i>

442
00:15:08,875 --> 00:15:10,141
Ready for some noise?

443
00:15:10,208 --> 00:15:13,478
<i>We do not have peanut butter
stuffed Pretzels in France.</i>

444
00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:18,883
[Aarti] Okay, so, I'm a little
nervous about Giangi's dish.

445
00:15:18,885 --> 00:15:21,853
Only because she has very
clean, mild flavors.

446
00:15:21,855 --> 00:15:25,723
Sour cream, potatoes,
little bit of cheese, fish.

447
00:15:25,725 --> 00:15:29,060
And, then, the one-two punch
of peanut butter Pretzels.

448
00:15:29,062 --> 00:15:31,062
I think that's going to be
super-sweet.

449
00:15:31,064 --> 00:15:33,164
They're going to be on display.

450
00:15:33,166 --> 00:15:35,600
<i>[Giangi] I've never put peanut
butter on a fish before.</i>

451
00:15:35,602 --> 00:15:37,335
I don't eat peanut butter.

452
00:15:37,337 --> 00:15:40,805
<i>So, I'm adding some garlic
and some parsley,</i>

453
00:15:40,807 --> 00:15:42,440
<i>just to give it a little help.</i>

454
00:15:42,442 --> 00:15:45,209
<i>Because, I cannot have
sweet peanut butter</i>

455
00:15:45,211 --> 00:15:46,711
<i>crusted sole.</i>

456
00:15:46,713 --> 00:15:48,680
Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

457
00:15:48,682 --> 00:15:50,915
<i>Food in France is not just
about feeding the soul,</i>

458
00:15:50,917 --> 00:15:53,184
<i>but it's just time to
spend with your family,</i>

459
00:15:53,186 --> 00:15:55,320
<i>with your friends,
with your loved one.</i>

460
00:15:55,322 --> 00:15:56,854
Turn this puppy over.

461
00:15:56,856 --> 00:15:57,755
<i>I started my blog,</i>

462
00:15:57,757 --> 00:15:59,190
<i>because I wanted to
bring to people</i>

463
00:15:59,192 --> 00:16:02,293
<i>how you can easily make
a French and Italian meal,</i>

464
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:05,129
<i>so you can make it every night
at your own family.</i>

465
00:16:06,231 --> 00:16:08,032
I've never made
such a mess cooking.

466
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:11,202
Come on, you, cook.

467
00:16:11,204 --> 00:16:14,105
Eight minutes! Eight to go!
Gotta be plated.

468
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:18,242
Take some of these Pretzels.

469
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:20,011
Peanut butter Pretzels.

470
00:16:21,146 --> 00:16:22,747
Perfect, that'll work.

471
00:16:22,749 --> 00:16:26,284
<i>Filipino adobo typically
does not have peanut butter.</i>

472
00:16:26,286 --> 00:16:28,119
<i>I'm hoping it's gonna
add some flavor</i>

473
00:16:28,121 --> 00:16:30,121
<i>and some thickness to the sauce.</i>

474
00:16:31,090 --> 00:16:33,825
<i>Now that my pork adobo sauce
is reducing,</i>

475
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:35,760
<i>I'm gonna start on my
sample table ingredient,</i>

476
00:16:35,762 --> 00:16:37,895
<i>instant mashed potatoes.</i>

477
00:16:37,897 --> 00:16:40,465
<i>I wanna treat instant mashed
potatoes like I'm cooking rice,</i>

478
00:16:40,467 --> 00:16:42,000
<i>so I don't wanna add anything,</i>

479
00:16:42,002 --> 00:16:43,034
except some butter.

480
00:16:43,036 --> 00:16:45,837
<i>That way, I can flavor
the mashed potatoes</i>

481
00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:48,973
<i>with the pork adobo sauce
like I would do with my rice.</i>

482
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,243
<i>If I win the $10,000 today,</i>

483
00:16:52,245 --> 00:16:53,311
<i>I'm gonna put it towards</i>

484
00:16:53,313 --> 00:16:55,146
<i>my daughters' future education.</i>

485
00:16:55,148 --> 00:16:56,514
<i>It'll help them pursue
their dreams.</i>

486
00:16:57,883 --> 00:16:58,616
[Guy] Three minutes!

487
00:16:59,118 --> 00:17:00,551
Three minutes to plate.

488
00:17:04,223 --> 00:17:06,324
[Jordan] Who needs a spit
when you got a sheet tray?

489
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:09,127
Perfect.

490
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:10,128
<i>The first thing I put down</i>

491
00:17:10,130 --> 00:17:11,763
<i>is the mashed potato mujaddara.</i>

492
00:17:11,765 --> 00:17:14,432
<i>On top of that,
I chopped up the chicken,</i>

493
00:17:14,434 --> 00:17:16,567
<i>and laid it evenly
across the mujaddara.</i>

494
00:17:17,102 --> 00:17:18,202
Huh.

495
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:21,272
<i>And, on the side,
I'm gonna put my hot dog ezme.</i>

496
00:17:21,274 --> 00:17:24,175
I can't believe I'm saying
'hot dog ezme'.

497
00:17:24,643 --> 00:17:26,077
[Guy] 90 seconds!

498
00:17:28,814 --> 00:17:33,384
[speaking French]

499
00:17:35,621 --> 00:17:38,222
Dear clock, stop,
and give me five minutes.

500
00:17:38,924 --> 00:17:39,824
Done.

501
00:17:39,925 --> 00:17:41,092
<i>I'm taking my fish out
of the pan</i>

502
00:17:41,094 --> 00:17:42,960
<i>and it's perfectly crusted.</i>

503
00:17:42,962 --> 00:17:45,997
<i>Then, I add the mashed
potato to the plate.</i>

504
00:17:45,999 --> 00:17:48,433
<i>Now, I'm chopping
parsley, garlic,</i>

505
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:51,102
<i>pepper corns, lemon zest,
altogether,</i>

506
00:17:51,104 --> 00:17:52,403
<i>to go on top of the fish,</i>

507
00:17:52,405 --> 00:17:55,339
<i>so it gives them a little bit
of a different oompf to it.</i>

508
00:17:56,041 --> 00:17:59,143
[Guy] 45 seconds!

509
00:17:59,145 --> 00:18:01,045
All right, I'm gonna go ahead
and plate the dish.

510
00:18:01,047 --> 00:18:04,449
<i>First, I get my instant mashed
potatoes down on the plate.</i>

511
00:18:04,451 --> 00:18:06,117
<i>I pull out my pork adobo
out of the fryer</i>

512
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,485
<i>and it was perfect.</i>

513
00:18:07,487 --> 00:18:08,920
<i>I'm pouring my adobo sauce</i>

514
00:18:08,922 --> 00:18:11,055
<i>right over that instant
mashed potato.</i>

515
00:18:11,057 --> 00:18:14,225
This dish is my heritage
on a plate.

516
00:18:14,227 --> 00:18:18,996
Five, four, three, two, one.

517
00:18:18,998 --> 00:18:20,064
That's it!

518
00:18:21,033 --> 00:18:21,966
Dang!

519
00:18:21,968 --> 00:18:23,334
[Guy] Welcome to the store,
chefs.

520
00:18:23,336 --> 00:18:25,203
- Nicely done, everybody.
- [whoops]

521
00:18:26,071 --> 00:18:28,339
All right, let's see if
the judges gobble up

522
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:30,241
your global dishes. Follow me.

523
00:18:30,243 --> 00:18:31,509
Right to the judges.

524
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:38,282
All right, judges,
this is game one

525
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:41,285
of Global Food Fanatics
'Keep it sample'.

526
00:18:41,287 --> 00:18:43,788
Up first, we have chef Jordan,
what did you make for us?

527
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:46,190
Hey, judges, so I made you
a grilled-chicken shawarma,

528
00:18:46,192 --> 00:18:47,625
a little bit of mujaddara.

529
00:18:47,627 --> 00:18:49,827
Mujaddara's got mashed
potatoes in it.

530
00:18:49,829 --> 00:18:52,463
And a corn hot dog ezme.

531
00:18:55,701 --> 00:18:56,767
I gotta say, whipped hot dog

532
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:58,769
sounds like wrong part
of the county fare.

533
00:18:58,771 --> 00:19:00,304
- You pulled it off.
- Thanks, chef.

534
00:19:00,306 --> 00:19:01,639
[Troy] You used
the mashed potatoes

535
00:19:01,641 --> 00:19:03,241
which was a very good
purchase from the store.

536
00:19:03,243 --> 00:19:05,209
The flavor on that marinade
that you got on your chicken,

537
00:19:05,211 --> 00:19:08,079
you managed to pull that off
in just 25 minutes.

538
00:19:08,081 --> 00:19:11,449
First of all, you nailed
the char on the chicken.

539
00:19:11,451 --> 00:19:13,451
I love all vertical meat.

540
00:19:13,453 --> 00:19:17,088
I'm kind of amazed that
you got the mujaddara done

541
00:19:17,090 --> 00:19:18,356
in this amount of time.

542
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:20,858
The plus and minus here
is that I don't taste

543
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:23,127
the corn dogs in the ezme
at all.

544
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:25,396
Okay, good kick-off.

545
00:19:25,398 --> 00:19:28,366
Up next, chef Giangi,
what do you have for us?

546
00:19:28,368 --> 00:19:29,233
I kept a very simple...

547
00:19:29,235 --> 00:19:31,068
with the samples
that I received,

548
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:34,105
I made a Pretzel crusted sole,

549
00:19:34,107 --> 00:19:35,740
with mashed potatoes

550
00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:37,375
that I just, kind of,
lift 'em up a little bit

551
00:19:37,377 --> 00:19:39,110
with some French cheese
in there.

552
00:19:39,112 --> 00:19:40,578
Just to give it a flavor.

553
00:19:40,580 --> 00:19:43,147
I haven't touched
a boxed mashed potato...

554
00:19:43,149 --> 00:19:46,217
we'll see, in probably 50 years.

555
00:19:46,219 --> 00:19:49,220
Woah, and you've only been
on this planet for 32.

556
00:19:49,222 --> 00:19:50,588
Exactly, see.

557
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:54,392
Sole needs a really quick
pan-fry to keep it

558
00:19:54,394 --> 00:19:56,027
so delicate and light.

559
00:19:56,029 --> 00:19:58,129
In this fish,
it's perfectly cooked.

560
00:19:58,131 --> 00:20:00,198
It's just melt-in-your-mouth.

561
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,633
You get the contrast
of textures from

562
00:20:02,635 --> 00:20:04,135
the pulverized peanut butter
Pretzels.

563
00:20:04,137 --> 00:20:05,236
The green pepper corns

564
00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:06,270
are my favorite
part of this dish.

565
00:20:06,272 --> 00:20:07,972
I think that's a dynamite move,

566
00:20:07,974 --> 00:20:10,975
because the heat
in that pepper corn

567
00:20:10,977 --> 00:20:14,212
tames that sweetness of that
peanut butter in that Pretzel.

568
00:20:14,214 --> 00:20:15,146
Thank you.

569
00:20:15,148 --> 00:20:16,714
The mashed potatoes...

570
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:19,951
you know, I wanted to see you
transform them,

571
00:20:19,953 --> 00:20:22,987
instead of just kind of
recreate them on the plate.

572
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:25,089
Well, thank you.
Thank you for the feedback.

573
00:20:25,091 --> 00:20:27,058
And, next, finally,
chef Emerson.

574
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:28,159
What did you make for us?

575
00:20:28,161 --> 00:20:30,161
So, the global food dish
I chose to make today

576
00:20:30,163 --> 00:20:32,930
is a Filipino pork adobo.

577
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:36,033
And, I chose to use the Pretzels

578
00:20:36,035 --> 00:20:38,302
to add a little bit of
creaminess to it

579
00:20:38,304 --> 00:20:39,770
and thicken up the sauce.

580
00:20:39,772 --> 00:20:41,205
And, then, I used
the mashed potatoes

581
00:20:41,207 --> 00:20:42,873
as a replacement for the starch.

582
00:20:42,875 --> 00:20:44,208
Traditionally, you use rice.

583
00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:46,877
And, then, the sauce from
the pork adobo,

584
00:20:46,879 --> 00:20:49,847
was used to top the mashed
potatoes as a gravy

585
00:20:49,849 --> 00:20:51,315
to give it a little bit
more flavor.

586
00:20:53,018 --> 00:20:55,720
Adobo is like the
knocking-on-heaven's-door Filipino cuisine.

587
00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:57,021
That is phenomenal.

588
00:20:57,023 --> 00:21:01,158
[Jeff] I loved the kind of
carnitas-esque vibe

589
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,894
you brought by
flash-frying that pork.

590
00:21:03,896 --> 00:21:06,397
I got a surprise bone here
on my plate.

591
00:21:06,399 --> 00:21:08,032
I love, actually, that you

592
00:21:08,034 --> 00:21:09,934
gave us this little piece
here with the bone.

593
00:21:09,936 --> 00:21:10,968
To me, that feels very authentic

594
00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:12,270
and it feels like home.

595
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:15,172
You don't waste anything
and this bone adds flavor.

596
00:21:15,174 --> 00:21:17,174
You know what the potatoes
are missing here...

597
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:19,543
pretty much everything.

598
00:21:20,846 --> 00:21:22,413
You just dumped the flakes
in there

599
00:21:22,415 --> 00:21:24,282
<i>and you didn't even
season it, man.</i>

600
00:21:24,284 --> 00:21:25,950
Because it's
a sample ingredient,

601
00:21:25,952 --> 00:21:27,418
we need you to
do something with it.

602
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:29,287
Okay, thank you, everyone.

603
00:21:29,289 --> 00:21:31,622
We're going to ask
the chefs to leave now,

604
00:21:31,624 --> 00:21:33,224
so the judges can deliberate.

605
00:21:33,226 --> 00:21:35,326
And, we'll call you back as
soon as we have your scores.

606
00:21:35,328 --> 00:21:36,227
Thank you. Thank you
for the opportunity.

607
00:21:36,229 --> 00:21:38,296
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

608
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:41,832
[Guy] Judges, who gained
the Triple-G global gameplay

609
00:21:41,834 --> 00:21:43,301
and the goods?

610
00:21:45,404 --> 00:21:47,905
All right, judges, let's go
get the scores totaled up

611
00:21:47,907 --> 00:21:49,240
and get them posted
to the board.

612
00:21:54,746 --> 00:21:55,946
I'll say this.

613
00:21:56,114 --> 00:21:57,848
Your love for your culture
and your love for your cuisine

614
00:21:57,850 --> 00:21:59,850
was not lost in translation

615
00:21:59,852 --> 00:22:01,152
on these crazy games.

616
00:22:01,154 --> 00:22:03,354
Let's go to Emerson first.

617
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:06,924
Out of 20 points,
15 in gameplay,

618
00:22:06,926 --> 00:22:08,125
16 in taste,

619
00:22:08,627 --> 00:22:09,860
seven in plating.

620
00:22:09,862 --> 00:22:11,128
A total of 38.

621
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:12,129
A good score.

622
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:14,999
Giangi,

623
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:16,934
14 in gameplay,

624
00:22:17,235 --> 00:22:18,436
15 in taste

625
00:22:18,970 --> 00:22:20,071
seven in plating.

626
00:22:20,906 --> 00:22:22,406
36. Two points behind.

627
00:22:22,408 --> 00:22:24,041
Jordan, it's left up to
you, buddy.

628
00:22:24,043 --> 00:22:26,010
You've gotta get
better than a 36

629
00:22:26,012 --> 00:22:27,345
to stay in the competition.

630
00:22:28,046 --> 00:22:30,114
16 in gameplay, strong.

631
00:22:30,116 --> 00:22:32,116
17 in taste, really big.

632
00:22:32,118 --> 00:22:33,484
Seven in plating,

633
00:22:33,486 --> 00:22:35,519
- for a 40. Congratulations.
- [all clapping]

634
00:22:36,121 --> 00:22:37,655
Congratulations.

635
00:22:37,657 --> 00:22:40,224
Giangi, that leaves you
four points behind the leader.

636
00:22:40,226 --> 00:22:42,126
And, for that, we have to
say goodbye.

637
00:22:42,128 --> 00:22:44,028
But, I'll tell you what,
it was great to have you.

638
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:45,563
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you very much.

639
00:22:46,298 --> 00:22:48,032
Come on, what a pleasure.

640
00:22:48,034 --> 00:22:51,035
<i>[Giangi] I didn't win,
but I'm honored to be here.</i>

641
00:22:51,037 --> 00:22:53,604
Not a chance in a lifetime
that I will ever use

642
00:22:53,606 --> 00:22:57,541
instant mashed potatoes again
after today. Never.

643
00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:03,647
So, Hunter, what we have here

644
00:23:03,649 --> 00:23:06,083
is the Filipino food fanatic...

645
00:23:06,085 --> 00:23:08,052
Versus the Middle-eastern
master over here.

646
00:23:08,054 --> 00:23:10,187
That's right, and this round
is gonna determine

647
00:23:10,189 --> 00:23:11,956
who wins 10,000 bucks

648
00:23:11,958 --> 00:23:14,625
and a return trip
to Flavortown market

649
00:23:14,627 --> 00:23:18,062
to play for up to $20,000 more.

650
00:23:18,064 --> 00:23:20,097
- That was easy for me to say.
- [Hunter] That's a big deal.

651
00:23:20,099 --> 00:23:21,599
For your final challenge,

652
00:23:21,601 --> 00:23:23,200
I want you to give the judges

653
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:25,169
a satisfying serving of...

654
00:23:25,171 --> 00:23:26,670
World comfort food.

655
00:23:26,672 --> 00:23:28,305
- I like that.
- That's what we want.

656
00:23:28,307 --> 00:23:31,142
Give us a world comfort food
that is authentic to you.

657
00:23:31,144 --> 00:23:32,143
Something that's comfort to you.

658
00:23:32,145 --> 00:23:33,377
Dad, in most of the world,

659
00:23:33,379 --> 00:23:35,780
people don't even use,
like, shopping carts.

660
00:23:35,782 --> 00:23:37,114
If you go to, like, farm stands,

661
00:23:37,116 --> 00:23:38,449
you go into the farmer's market

662
00:23:38,451 --> 00:23:39,817
you go into the local
grocery store...

663
00:23:39,819 --> 00:23:41,652
[Guy] Hunter, I pick up
what you're laying down.

664
00:23:41,654 --> 00:23:43,587
Chefs, go ahead and stand
in front of your carts, please.

665
00:23:44,623 --> 00:23:45,890
- [Guy] What are you thinking?
- You know what?

666
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:47,258
I saw something over here,
down the aisle

667
00:23:47,260 --> 00:23:49,360
just not too long ago that
was left out by a customer.

668
00:23:49,362 --> 00:23:51,362
Oh, okay, sounds good.

669
00:23:52,197 --> 00:23:55,232
Oh, the big handheld bag.

670
00:23:55,234 --> 00:23:57,001
We had these made for my mom.

671
00:23:57,003 --> 00:23:58,402
I only got one of these.

672
00:23:58,404 --> 00:23:59,603
But, I do have...

673
00:24:01,907 --> 00:24:03,974
Oh, man.

674
00:24:03,976 --> 00:24:05,176
This is 'Think small'.

675
00:24:05,178 --> 00:24:07,344
All the ingredients
you wanna shop for

676
00:24:07,346 --> 00:24:09,880
for your authentic global
comfort food

677
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:11,549
has to be able to fit
in this bag. [scoffs]

678
00:24:11,950 --> 00:24:13,050
Oh.

679
00:24:13,318 --> 00:24:14,585
One bag.

680
00:24:14,953 --> 00:24:16,287
One trip.

681
00:24:16,289 --> 00:24:18,789
30 minutes to shop,
prepare and plate

682
00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:20,491
your world comfort food.

683
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:22,993
I'm gonna give
the 'three, two, one'

684
00:24:22,995 --> 00:24:24,328
and then you give
the 'go', okay?

685
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:25,596
[Hunter] Okay.

686
00:24:25,663 --> 00:24:27,298
So, we covered all the rules
with the bags.

687
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:29,033
- Doing all that, the all that-- yeah.
- Yeah.

688
00:24:33,305 --> 00:24:34,438
They do not wanna play or what?

689
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,207
I don't know,
do you guys wanna play?

690
00:24:36,209 --> 00:24:37,341
- Yeah.
- We're ready.

691
00:24:37,343 --> 00:24:38,409
Yeah.

692
00:24:38,411 --> 00:24:39,510
[Hunter] Let's play.

693
00:24:41,346 --> 00:24:43,180
[laughing]

694
00:24:43,849 --> 00:24:45,649
- That was good.
- Ah, yeah.

695
00:24:45,651 --> 00:24:47,418
They got us outsmarted
the first round,

696
00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:49,053
take 'em to Flavortown.

697
00:24:49,055 --> 00:24:50,287
That was a good one.

698
00:24:51,857 --> 00:24:53,257
What I really like to do,
is I like to cook

699
00:24:53,259 --> 00:24:55,392
global food with
a Middle-eastern take.

700
00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:56,861
<i>So, when I think of
comfort food...</i>

701
00:24:56,863 --> 00:24:58,229
Ground lamb!

702
00:24:58,231 --> 00:24:59,630
<i>First two things that
are coming mind are</i>

703
00:24:59,632 --> 00:25:01,398
<i>shakshuka, bolognese.</i>

704
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,634
Ground lamb, ground lamb,
ground lamb, ground lamb.

705
00:25:03,636 --> 00:25:04,902
Ground lamb.

706
00:25:04,904 --> 00:25:07,171
<i>So, I'm gonna do a rendition
of a shakshuka bolognese</i>

707
00:25:07,173 --> 00:25:09,039
<i>over an Israeli couscous.</i>

708
00:25:09,041 --> 00:25:11,008
- Hi, Guy.
- Hello.

709
00:25:11,010 --> 00:25:13,878
<i>[Jordan] Shakshuka will
embrace all the good spices</i>

710
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,980
<i>from North Africa
and Middle-east.</i>

711
00:25:15,982 --> 00:25:18,082
<i>It'll really allow me to get
a lot of flavor</i>

712
00:25:18,084 --> 00:25:20,084
<i>in such a small bag.</i>

713
00:25:20,086 --> 00:25:22,353
Think small. Think small.
Think small.

714
00:25:22,355 --> 00:25:24,088
<i>So, the challenge
is think small.</i>

715
00:25:24,090 --> 00:25:25,356
<i>And, I've seen the game.</i>

716
00:25:25,358 --> 00:25:26,357
<i>And, I knew the bag was small,</i>

717
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,325
<i>but I didn't realize it
was that small.</i>

718
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:31,028
<i>I do need several ingredients.</i>

719
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:32,630
<i>I don't think I can
make 'em all work.</i>

720
00:25:32,632 --> 00:25:34,098
<i>Can't fit the huge onion
in my bag,</i>

721
00:25:34,100 --> 00:25:35,232
<i>so I grab the cippolinis.</i>

722
00:25:35,234 --> 00:25:36,567
Some cippolinis.

723
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:38,335
<i>Comfort food to me is just</i>

724
00:25:38,337 --> 00:25:39,770
<i>something you can eat
in your pajamas,</i>

725
00:25:39,772 --> 00:25:40,671
<i>whether it's something like</i>

726
00:25:40,739 --> 00:25:42,106
<i>shakshuka that you eat
for breakfast,</i>

727
00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:43,774
<i>or something like
a hearty bolognese</i>

728
00:25:43,776 --> 00:25:45,910
<i>that you can eat at night
when it's super cold.</i>

729
00:25:45,912 --> 00:25:47,144
<i>So, I thought why not
take both dishes</i>

730
00:25:47,146 --> 00:25:48,112
<i>and put them together.</i>

731
00:25:50,048 --> 00:25:52,149
- [Jordan] Acceptable?
- [Hunter] Oh, yeah.

732
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:56,120
<i>[Emerson] Cooking
at Flavortown is definitely</i>

733
00:25:56,122 --> 00:25:57,121
<i>on a whole other level.</i>

734
00:25:57,123 --> 00:25:58,956
<i>But, when I think of
comfort food</i>

735
00:25:58,958 --> 00:26:02,159
<i>you think of warm
belly type food</i>

736
00:26:02,161 --> 00:26:03,861
that means it's nap time.

737
00:26:03,863 --> 00:26:05,029
Chicken broth.

738
00:26:05,031 --> 00:26:07,831
<i>For my world, comfort food,
I'm thinking</i>

739
00:26:07,833 --> 00:26:10,100
<i>Filipino arroz caldo.</i>

740
00:26:10,102 --> 00:26:11,402
All right. Saffron.

741
00:26:11,404 --> 00:26:15,105
<i>Filipino arroz caldo
is a Filipino rice porridge.</i>

742
00:26:15,107 --> 00:26:17,107
<i>But, I have to think small.</i>

743
00:26:17,109 --> 00:26:19,310
<i>What am I gonna be able
to fit inside here?</i>

744
00:26:19,312 --> 00:26:20,844
Does it all have to fit inside
this bag?

745
00:26:20,846 --> 00:26:22,880
Yeah, but let me show you
something, come here.

746
00:26:22,882 --> 00:26:24,481
Think smart about this.
Hold on a second.

747
00:26:24,483 --> 00:26:26,183
Slow yourself down.
SLow your roll, son.

748
00:26:26,185 --> 00:26:27,251
Hold that.

749
00:26:27,253 --> 00:26:29,420
All right, so let's go first

750
00:26:29,988 --> 00:26:31,255
with thing big, old, heavy,

751
00:26:31,257 --> 00:26:33,157
dense thing on the bottom, okay?

752
00:26:33,159 --> 00:26:34,992
Wedge the chicken in there.

753
00:26:34,994 --> 00:26:36,026
Get in there, wedge it.

754
00:26:36,028 --> 00:26:37,461
- There you go.
- Yeah.

755
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:39,930
- Now...
- Now, you have more room.

756
00:26:39,932 --> 00:26:41,465
My man. My man.

757
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:43,167
- Come on.
- My man.

758
00:26:43,169 --> 00:26:44,201
[Emerson] All right.

759
00:26:44,203 --> 00:26:45,970
If you're gonna watch
the show, you gotta learn

760
00:26:45,972 --> 00:26:47,304
a little tricks of the trade
here, folks.

761
00:26:47,306 --> 00:26:49,139
Thank you kitchen angel.

762
00:26:50,208 --> 00:26:52,076
<i>It is so hard to fit all
of the ingredients</i>

763
00:26:52,078 --> 00:26:53,911
<i>in that tiny, little bag.</i>

764
00:26:53,913 --> 00:26:56,647
<i>But, this dish was so
important to me to make,</i>

765
00:26:56,649 --> 00:26:58,882
<i>because this was one
of the dishes</i>

766
00:26:58,884 --> 00:27:00,250
<i>that I cooked a lot of,</i>

767
00:27:00,252 --> 00:27:01,785
<i>growing up with my mom.</i>

768
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:04,121
<i>Cooking arroz caldo
is my mom, it's me,</i>

769
00:27:04,123 --> 00:27:05,889
<i>it's my family, all in one dish.</i>

770
00:27:05,891 --> 00:27:07,191
All right.

771
00:27:07,193 --> 00:27:09,059
[Guy] What would be
a good comfort food, Hunter?

772
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:10,394
[Hunter] Chili.

773
00:27:10,396 --> 00:27:11,996
I'll have chili.

774
00:27:12,330 --> 00:27:13,497
What, chili?

775
00:27:14,899 --> 00:27:16,767
No, that's not global
comfort food.

776
00:27:16,769 --> 00:27:17,835
Well, you have 25 minutes,

777
00:27:17,837 --> 00:27:19,136
so I don't know what
you're gonna make, but...

778
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:20,304
I don't need negative energy.

779
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:22,206
You're right, I'm sorry.
I apologize.

780
00:27:22,208 --> 00:27:23,007
What are you thinking?

781
00:27:23,009 --> 00:27:25,142
[Guy] I was going meatballs.

782
00:27:25,144 --> 00:27:26,944
[Hunter] Meatballs are great.
I love meatballs, yeah.

783
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:28,278
Meatballs and what?

784
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,080
Meatballs with
garlic bread, or...

785
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:32,616
[Guy] I like the way
you're thinking.

786
00:27:32,618 --> 00:27:33,584
Bucatini.

787
00:27:34,452 --> 00:27:35,552
There we go.

788
00:27:37,055 --> 00:27:38,956
Parmesan cheese.

789
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:41,458
Dad, do you think you can
do this in 22 minutes?

790
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:42,893
[Guy] Can I do this
in 22 minutes?

791
00:27:42,895 --> 00:27:44,528
Meatballs? I don't know.

792
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:54,905
Global comfort food,
what do you guys think?

793
00:27:54,907 --> 00:27:55,973
Comfort food is...

794
00:27:55,975 --> 00:27:58,275
it usually does have
some super-strong

795
00:27:58,277 --> 00:27:59,610
- flavors to it.
- Yeah.

796
00:27:59,612 --> 00:28:01,912
Salty, cheesy, tomato-y...

797
00:28:01,914 --> 00:28:03,380
It's a whole experience.

798
00:28:03,382 --> 00:28:05,416
Yeah, you're not like,
"I'm going light tonight."

799
00:28:05,418 --> 00:28:07,918
You know what I want tonight
is some diet comfort food.

800
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,286
- No.
- Just doesn't work.

801
00:28:09,288 --> 00:28:12,022
[Hunter] My dad's cooking,
so I'm gonna wander around.

802
00:28:12,024 --> 00:28:12,656
Okay.

803
00:28:13,124 --> 00:28:15,092
[Guy] 21 minutes left.

804
00:28:17,395 --> 00:28:18,896
[Emerson] I'm making
a traditional

805
00:28:18,898 --> 00:28:20,264
comfort food growing up

806
00:28:20,266 --> 00:28:22,466
and that is called arroz caldo.

807
00:28:23,168 --> 00:28:25,102
<i>When people think of porridge,</i>

808
00:28:25,104 --> 00:28:30,107
<i>people think bland, thick,
ricey, goopy soup.</i>

809
00:28:30,109 --> 00:28:31,809
That's not what this is.

810
00:28:31,811 --> 00:28:33,310
<i>Filipino arroz caldo
is going to be</i>

811
00:28:33,312 --> 00:28:36,613
<i>bright and creamy, delicious.</i>

812
00:28:36,615 --> 00:28:39,349
<i>Traditionally, I would finely
mince this garlic</i>

813
00:28:39,351 --> 00:28:40,484
<i>and throw it in there,</i>

814
00:28:40,486 --> 00:28:41,952
<i>but I just didn't have the time.</i>

815
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:46,090
- Emerson's making arroz caldo.
- [Aarti] Wow.

816
00:28:46,092 --> 00:28:47,758
[Jeff] Very typical
Filipino dish.

817
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:49,093
- Very comforting.
- Yes.

818
00:28:49,095 --> 00:28:51,061
And, you think about it,
comfort food in any language,

819
00:28:51,063 --> 00:28:53,163
- it's soup.
- Usually involves this sound.

820
00:28:53,165 --> 00:28:54,598
[slurps]

821
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,166
- [Jeff] You know what I mean?
- That's...

822
00:28:56,168 --> 00:28:58,635
[Emerson] Gonna add a bit of
saffron and just let it go.

823
00:29:00,004 --> 00:29:01,271
You know, the only
thing I'm worried is

824
00:29:01,273 --> 00:29:03,373
about the rice cooking in time.

825
00:29:03,375 --> 00:29:05,275
- Emerson, how are we doing?
- Yes.

826
00:29:05,277 --> 00:29:06,243
[Emerson] Doing great.

827
00:29:06,245 --> 00:29:07,544
[Hunter] How long is that
gonna take to cook?

828
00:29:09,147 --> 00:29:10,414
"Simmer 20-25 minutes."

829
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:12,082
I'm cutting it.

830
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:13,383
Oh, man.

831
00:29:13,818 --> 00:29:14,651
We'll see.

832
00:29:14,653 --> 00:29:15,919
- That's risky.
- Yeah.

833
00:29:15,921 --> 00:29:17,488
Do you have a backup plan
just in case?

834
00:29:17,490 --> 00:29:18,422
[Emerson] Uh...

835
00:29:18,424 --> 00:29:19,590
it's gonna work.

836
00:29:19,592 --> 00:29:20,791
Good luck.

837
00:29:20,793 --> 00:29:22,826
<i>[Emerson] Cooking this
arroz caldo is a huge risk.</i>

838
00:29:22,828 --> 00:29:25,062
<i>I'm putting everything
inside this pot.</i>

839
00:29:25,064 --> 00:29:26,930
<i>And, if this rice doesn't
cook in time,</i>

840
00:29:26,932 --> 00:29:27,798
<i>I'm done.</i>

841
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,467
Goodbye $10,000.

842
00:29:32,837 --> 00:29:34,371
Probably gonna get up
right to the minute.

843
00:29:35,907 --> 00:29:38,041
[Guy] 20 minutes to make
pasta meatballs.

844
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:39,943
I gotta get some onions

845
00:29:39,945 --> 00:29:42,446
going down for
the meatballs, actually.

846
00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:45,349
Sure could've used more garlic.

847
00:29:45,351 --> 00:29:47,417
Umami coming from the mushrooms.

848
00:29:50,822 --> 00:29:52,156
Fresh tomato sauce.

849
00:29:55,059 --> 00:29:56,360
I used all my garlic.

850
00:29:56,362 --> 00:29:57,461
15 minutes.

851
00:30:00,698 --> 00:30:01,898
<i>[Jordan] I love shakshuka.</i>

852
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,501
<i>I don't usually make it where
it fits in a small bag.</i>

853
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:06,537
<i>But, we're gonna make it work.</i>

854
00:30:07,172 --> 00:30:08,272
<i>Love the flavors.</i>

855
00:30:08,274 --> 00:30:09,807
Okay, what are we making?

856
00:30:09,809 --> 00:30:11,875
We're doing a take on
a lamb shakshuka.

857
00:30:11,877 --> 00:30:12,876
And then instead of the pasta,

858
00:30:12,878 --> 00:30:14,311
I'm using Israeli couscous.

859
00:30:14,313 --> 00:30:16,213
Usually I'd use, like,
tagliatelle or pappardelle,

860
00:30:16,215 --> 00:30:17,748
but we're just going
with couscous.

861
00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:19,983
I'm gonna make a little garlic
lemon tahini sauce for it.

862
00:30:19,985 --> 00:30:21,185
- [Hunter] Very nice.
- [Jordan] Yep.

863
00:30:21,786 --> 00:30:23,787
Let's not lose for salt.

864
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:25,122
<i>It's not a traditional shakshuka</i>

865
00:30:25,124 --> 00:30:27,191
<i>and it's not a traditional
bolognese.</i>

866
00:30:27,193 --> 00:30:29,860
<i>But, it is a super big
bowl of comfort.</i>

867
00:30:29,862 --> 00:30:32,229
<i>Traditionally, shakshuka
is a tomato based sauce,</i>

868
00:30:32,231 --> 00:30:33,864
<i>but I'm gonna opt
for harissa instead.</i>

869
00:30:33,866 --> 00:30:35,032
[whoops]

870
00:30:35,034 --> 00:30:36,900
Man, that's good.
Way better than tomato sauce.

871
00:30:36,902 --> 00:30:38,902
Gonna really help give
that extra flavor.

872
00:30:38,904 --> 00:30:40,170
A little bit of spice.

873
00:30:40,172 --> 00:30:41,538
Guy, you like spice.

874
00:30:41,540 --> 00:30:43,006
Let's go big with spices.

875
00:30:43,408 --> 00:30:44,374
Zaatar.

876
00:30:44,943 --> 00:30:45,809
Baharat.

877
00:30:45,811 --> 00:30:47,311
An Iraqi spice blend.

878
00:30:50,682 --> 00:30:52,749
<i>Next, I'm gonna work on my
Japanese eggplant.</i>

879
00:30:52,751 --> 00:30:54,852
<i>So, I seared the eggplant
separately in its own pan</i>

880
00:30:54,854 --> 00:30:55,853
<i>just to get a little bit of char</i>

881
00:30:55,855 --> 00:30:57,254
<i>onto the outside
of the eggplant.</i>

882
00:30:57,256 --> 00:30:59,189
Nice little bit of char
in the eggplant.

883
00:30:59,191 --> 00:31:00,624
<i>I totally geek out on food.</i>

884
00:31:00,626 --> 00:31:01,992
<i>As far as my cookbook
collection goes,</i>

885
00:31:01,994 --> 00:31:03,927
<i>I probably have over
200 cookbooks.</i>

886
00:31:03,929 --> 00:31:04,962
<i>I watch Food Network
all the time.</i>

887
00:31:04,964 --> 00:31:06,296
<i>The night my son was born,</i>

888
00:31:06,298 --> 00:31:09,066
<i>my wife was in labor
for almost 36 hours.</i>

889
00:31:09,068 --> 00:31:11,301
<i>And, the only thing
we watched in the room</i>

890
00:31:11,303 --> 00:31:12,402
<i>was Triple-G.</i>

891
00:31:12,404 --> 00:31:14,037
It was on from the minute
we got to the hospital

892
00:31:14,039 --> 00:31:15,172
until the minute my son
was born.

893
00:31:15,174 --> 00:31:17,107
So, Guy was kind of
there for the birth.

894
00:31:18,943 --> 00:31:21,011
If that's not comfort food,
I don't know what is.

895
00:31:21,013 --> 00:31:22,813
- [Emerson] Jordan, you good?
- [Jordan] I'm good, man.

896
00:31:22,815 --> 00:31:23,714
Great, man.

897
00:31:23,716 --> 00:31:25,749
Nine-and-a-half minutes left.

898
00:31:25,751 --> 00:31:27,985
Hey, can you make the clock
go up about five more minutes?

899
00:31:27,987 --> 00:31:28,886
- I appreciate it.
- I wish, bro.

900
00:31:28,888 --> 00:31:30,153
I need it too.

901
00:31:30,155 --> 00:31:32,489
- You done?
- No. No, no, no.

902
00:31:32,491 --> 00:31:33,657
Waiting for that rice to cook.

903
00:31:33,659 --> 00:31:35,759
That's impressive
if you pull it off.

904
00:31:35,761 --> 00:31:38,028
Hey, Emerson, now, you know
what they say about porridge.

905
00:31:38,030 --> 00:31:40,297
You know, watching
porridge boil.

906
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,867
It's all right. There's
nothing you can do, right?

907
00:31:43,869 --> 00:31:45,135
Nothing I can do, man.

908
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:46,436
<i>There's nothing left
for me to do</i>

909
00:31:46,438 --> 00:31:47,905
<i>but wait for this rice to cook.</i>

910
00:31:47,907 --> 00:31:49,106
<i>So, what I'm gonna do</i>

911
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:50,474
<i>is I'm gonna fry up some onions.</i>

912
00:31:50,476 --> 00:31:52,242
cooking some fried onions.

913
00:31:52,977 --> 00:31:54,011
<i>I took this risk,</i>

914
00:31:54,013 --> 00:31:56,313
<i>'cause this dish means
so much to me.</i>

915
00:31:56,315 --> 00:31:58,081
<i>Arroz caldo was one of
the first things</i>

916
00:31:58,083 --> 00:31:59,316
<i>I learned how to cook.</i>

917
00:31:59,318 --> 00:32:01,018
<i>Being in the kitchen
with my mom,</i>

918
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:02,653
<i>I know that this dish</i>

919
00:32:02,655 --> 00:32:05,022
<i>will win me that $10,000.</i>

920
00:32:06,057 --> 00:32:07,891
Oh, I am really cutting
this short.

921
00:32:07,893 --> 00:32:09,893
I might have bit off too much
to chew on this one.

922
00:32:09,895 --> 00:32:11,161
Bread crumbs.

923
00:32:14,332 --> 00:32:16,033
Let me just handle this
for a second.

924
00:32:18,870 --> 00:32:20,070
Okay.

925
00:32:22,173 --> 00:32:24,007
So, this is... In our family,

926
00:32:24,009 --> 00:32:25,375
this is our comfort food.

927
00:32:25,377 --> 00:32:26,576
I mean, meatballs...

928
00:32:26,578 --> 00:32:29,513
And, we make them,
we make them by the 100.

929
00:32:30,815 --> 00:32:32,616
[Hunter] Yeah, we make a
lot of meatballs. That's for sure.

930
00:32:32,618 --> 00:32:34,151
My fryer's not on on my station.

931
00:32:34,153 --> 00:32:35,152
I'm borrowing a station.

932
00:32:35,154 --> 00:32:36,420
Coming over.

933
00:32:36,422 --> 00:32:38,355
- Chef, you using your fryer?
- [Jordan] Nope.

934
00:32:38,357 --> 00:32:39,423
[Guy] Fantastic.

935
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:43,193
This is what we call

936
00:32:43,195 --> 00:32:44,528
expediting the process,
right here.

937
00:32:45,229 --> 00:32:47,264
I got 350 degrees,

938
00:32:47,266 --> 00:32:48,565
cooking all the way around it.

939
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,101
And, I am sweating.

940
00:32:51,369 --> 00:32:52,703
[Hunter] Six minutes.

941
00:32:52,705 --> 00:32:54,538
Six minutes and six seconds.

942
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:56,640
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-Don't rush me, Hunter. Don't rush me.

943
00:32:56,642 --> 00:32:59,176
[Hunter] You got an extra six
seconds in there, that's right.

944
00:32:59,178 --> 00:33:00,777
<i>[Jordan] So, now I'm gonna
work on my tahini sauce,</i>

945
00:33:00,779 --> 00:33:02,846
<i>which is really just
tahini, garlic,</i>

946
00:33:02,848 --> 00:33:05,215
<i>little bit of lemon juice,
water to thin it out.</i>

947
00:33:05,217 --> 00:33:07,184
<i>And, I just keep whisking
until it's the consistency</i>

948
00:33:07,186 --> 00:33:09,086
<i>that I want.</i>

949
00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:11,154
[Aarti] I'm curious about
the lamb shakshuka.

950
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:13,824
Shakshuka's usually
meatless, right?

951
00:33:13,826 --> 00:33:16,727
- It's more focused on the vibrant tomatoes...
- [Aarti] Yes.

952
00:33:16,729 --> 00:33:18,328
[Aarti] I don't wanna be
a purist about this,

953
00:33:18,330 --> 00:33:20,630
but I do think that there's
something about

954
00:33:20,632 --> 00:33:23,300
the runny, rich yolk

955
00:33:23,302 --> 00:33:26,103
mixing with that tangy,
bright tomato sauce.

956
00:33:26,105 --> 00:33:28,105
That is the essence
of shakshuka.

957
00:33:28,107 --> 00:33:30,640
So, it's fine that he's
adding the lamb to it,

958
00:33:30,642 --> 00:33:32,242
but I hope he has an egg.

959
00:33:32,244 --> 00:33:33,710
<i>[Jordan] Got my
tahini sauce ready,</i>

960
00:33:33,712 --> 00:33:34,611
<i>the lamb's cooking,</i>

961
00:33:34,613 --> 00:33:36,246
<i>I'm gonna get to work
on my eggs.</i>

962
00:33:38,716 --> 00:33:40,183
<i>Traditionally, with shakshuka,</i>

963
00:33:40,185 --> 00:33:42,419
<i>the egg is baked right
into the shakshuka itself.</i>

964
00:33:42,421 --> 00:33:43,487
That's a new one.

965
00:33:43,489 --> 00:33:44,855
<i>I love a good fried egg.</i>

966
00:33:44,857 --> 00:33:46,423
<i>I'll put a fried egg
on anything,</i>

967
00:33:46,425 --> 00:33:47,958
<i>including my shakshuka.</i>

968
00:33:48,826 --> 00:33:49,593
All right.

969
00:33:51,095 --> 00:33:52,195
[man] You got double eggs?

970
00:33:52,197 --> 00:33:53,230
[Jordan] Three of 'em.

971
00:33:54,198 --> 00:33:55,165
You ever seen that?

972
00:33:55,167 --> 00:33:56,199
I've never seen that.

973
00:33:56,201 --> 00:33:57,934
Three out of four eggs,
double eggs.

974
00:33:57,936 --> 00:33:59,102
- Yeah.
- I can't believe that.

975
00:33:59,104 --> 00:34:00,170
Hopefully, that's a good luck

976
00:34:00,172 --> 00:34:02,005
- charm for you.
- [Jordan] I hope so.

977
00:34:03,641 --> 00:34:05,809
<i>[Jordan] So, my son, Azar,
just turned three last week.</i>

978
00:34:05,811 --> 00:34:08,145
<i>He gave me a little
good luck charm.</i>

979
00:34:08,147 --> 00:34:09,112
<i>So, I've been carrying around</i>

980
00:34:09,114 --> 00:34:11,615
the little pachycephalosaurus,

981
00:34:11,617 --> 00:34:14,184
which is actually
his favorite dinosaur.

982
00:34:14,186 --> 00:34:15,786
<i>If I win today,
the big reason I'm here</i>

983
00:34:15,788 --> 00:34:17,287
<i>is 'cause I want my wife
and my son Azar</i>

984
00:34:17,289 --> 00:34:19,856
<i>to experience what that's like
to be in Israel.</i>

985
00:34:19,858 --> 00:34:21,858
<i>Marissa's never been.
Azar's never been.</i>

986
00:34:21,860 --> 00:34:24,561
<i>It's been 26 years for me,
can't wait to go back.</i>

987
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:27,130
[Guy] Two minutes!
Two minutes flat.

988
00:34:27,132 --> 00:34:29,332
<i>[Jordan] First thing I put
down is my fluffy couscous.</i>

989
00:34:29,334 --> 00:34:30,300
<i>Then on top of that,</i>

990
00:34:30,302 --> 00:34:31,635
<i>I add my lamb ragu.</i>

991
00:34:32,937 --> 00:34:33,904
<i>And, then, on top of that,</i>

992
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:37,040
<i>I add my perfectly
double-yolk fried egg.</i>

993
00:34:37,042 --> 00:34:38,942
<i>Just a little drizzle
of tahini sauce.</i>

994
00:34:38,944 --> 00:34:41,144
<i>Little dusting of the zaatar
and baharat.</i>

995
00:34:41,146 --> 00:34:42,979
<i>And, chopped parsley
for color and texture.</i>

996
00:34:43,281 --> 00:34:44,414
Layer the flavors.

997
00:34:45,149 --> 00:34:46,183
[Guy] 90 seconds.

998
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:50,987
Okay, I don't know
if these are finished.

999
00:34:51,956 --> 00:34:53,490
Yeah, they didn't make it.

1000
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:56,726
Now, it's bolognese.

1001
00:34:56,728 --> 00:34:57,894
The meatballs didn't finish,

1002
00:34:57,896 --> 00:35:00,864
so I had to improvise
through the situation.

1003
00:35:00,866 --> 00:35:02,065
[Hunter] Doing meatballs
in 12 minutes

1004
00:35:02,067 --> 00:35:03,200
is pretty difficult, so.

1005
00:35:03,202 --> 00:35:05,202
[Guy] Not the smartest
idea I've had.

1006
00:35:07,905 --> 00:35:09,973
[Hunter] All right, chefs.
One minute.

1007
00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:11,208
Guy, kitchen angel,

1008
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:13,376
can I have more time, please?

1009
00:35:13,378 --> 00:35:15,078
<i>It's time to plate.
I have no more time.</i>

1010
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,080
<i>And, is the rice done?</i>

1011
00:35:19,083 --> 00:35:21,118
<i>I scoop my arroz caldo
into the bowls.</i>

1012
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,786
<i>I top it with my green onion.</i>

1013
00:35:22,788 --> 00:35:24,187
<i>Add those crushed chicharrones</i>

1014
00:35:24,189 --> 00:35:26,256
<i>and my fried onions.</i>

1015
00:35:26,258 --> 00:35:27,390
<i>I didn't have any time
to taste it,</i>

1016
00:35:27,392 --> 00:35:28,925
so I hope the rice is cooked.

1017
00:35:28,927 --> 00:35:31,061
And, I'm hoping that this works.

1018
00:35:31,063 --> 00:35:33,029
[Hunter] Five, four,

1019
00:35:33,031 --> 00:35:35,599
three, two, one.

1020
00:35:35,601 --> 00:35:37,033
That's it, stop cooking.

1021
00:35:38,836 --> 00:35:40,937
[Hunter] Very nice. Very nice.

1022
00:35:40,939 --> 00:35:42,739
You guys were hustling
on that one.

1023
00:35:42,741 --> 00:35:45,008
Dude, that looks dope. Dope.

1024
00:35:45,010 --> 00:35:46,409
[Hunter] Look at contestant
number three

1025
00:35:46,411 --> 00:35:48,044
- beating the clock.
- Well, look at this.

1026
00:35:48,046 --> 00:35:49,179
-A huge dish
-Oh, my Gosh.

1027
00:35:49,847 --> 00:35:50,981
So...

1028
00:35:50,983 --> 00:35:53,183
Oh, you are taut. Look at you.

1029
00:35:53,185 --> 00:35:55,118
[Guy] Oh, I got
killed on this one.

1030
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,020
What you had was meatballs,

1031
00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:58,955
veal, pork, beef.

1032
00:35:58,957 --> 00:36:01,224
Reggiano parmesana,

1033
00:36:01,226 --> 00:36:03,059
panko breadcrumbs, egg,

1034
00:36:03,061 --> 00:36:05,629
fresh basil, fresh oregano,

1035
00:36:05,631 --> 00:36:08,031
all put together and going.

1036
00:36:08,033 --> 00:36:09,266
Except that I ran out
of a little bit of time.

1037
00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:11,001
I went bolognese with it.

1038
00:36:11,003 --> 00:36:13,403
So, a little more parm
and a little touch of cream.

1039
00:36:13,405 --> 00:36:15,438
And, that was 18 minutes.

1040
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,207
Dear God.

1041
00:36:17,209 --> 00:36:19,442
Very nervous serving stuff
like this to Jeff.

1042
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:21,811
[Aarti] Aw, I know,
you're sweating!

1043
00:36:21,813 --> 00:36:22,946
Oh, I was working it over there.

1044
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:24,080
And, it's great bolognese,

1045
00:36:24,082 --> 00:36:25,215
even without you telling me

1046
00:36:25,217 --> 00:36:28,285
that you had zero intentions
of making bolognese.

1047
00:36:28,287 --> 00:36:30,320
[Guy] 'Cause, I bit off
too much than I could chew.

1048
00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:32,122
I know you weren't comfortable,

1049
00:36:32,124 --> 00:36:33,623
but this is comforting.

1050
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:40,897
[Guy] All right, judges,
here we are,

1051
00:36:40,899 --> 00:36:42,766
game two of our
Global Food Fanatics,

1052
00:36:42,768 --> 00:36:44,434
they got to play a little
'Think small'.

1053
00:36:44,436 --> 00:36:45,902
Well, we all got to play
a little 'Think small'.

1054
00:36:45,904 --> 00:36:47,003
Holy moly.

1055
00:36:47,005 --> 00:36:49,005
First up, chef Jordan,
what do you got for us?

1056
00:36:49,007 --> 00:36:50,407
So, I'm a Middle-eastern cook

1057
00:36:50,409 --> 00:36:51,808
and a Mediterranean cook.

1058
00:36:51,810 --> 00:36:53,109
This is my rendition

1059
00:36:53,111 --> 00:36:55,078
of a lamb shakshuka bolognese.

1060
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,080
I went with Israeli couscous
on the bottom, like,

1061
00:36:57,082 --> 00:36:58,515
that's my ultimate comfort food.

1062
00:37:00,418 --> 00:37:01,318
Troy, did you get a double egg?

1063
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,119
I got a double egg.

1064
00:37:03,121 --> 00:37:04,087
Aarti, did you get a double egg?

1065
00:37:04,089 --> 00:37:05,922
- [Aarti] Sure did.
- [Jeff] Yeah.

1066
00:37:05,924 --> 00:37:08,024
You did a good decision
in not liking Jeff.

1067
00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:09,292
Nobody took my pizza bagels

1068
00:37:09,294 --> 00:37:10,493
and then I get one egg.

1069
00:37:11,929 --> 00:37:14,264
Jordan, whether it's a shakshuka

1070
00:37:14,266 --> 00:37:15,999
or a bolognese,

1071
00:37:16,001 --> 00:37:18,802
the one thing that ties
those two dishes together

1072
00:37:18,804 --> 00:37:20,203
is the tomato gravy.

1073
00:37:20,205 --> 00:37:22,939
That idea of having this gravy
that you would sop it up

1074
00:37:22,941 --> 00:37:24,074
and it gets a little bit messy.

1075
00:37:24,076 --> 00:37:25,809
That, to me is comfort food.

1076
00:37:25,811 --> 00:37:28,078
And, that's what's missing
from your dish.

1077
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,146
Jordan, this is not shakshuka,

1078
00:37:30,148 --> 00:37:32,349
but it is awesome.

1079
00:37:32,351 --> 00:37:35,986
The texture of the Israeli
couscous pops in your mouth.

1080
00:37:35,988 --> 00:37:37,254
And, your lamb
is cooked perfectly.

1081
00:37:37,256 --> 00:37:40,890
It all just plays so nicely
together on this plate.

1082
00:37:40,892 --> 00:37:42,626
[Troy] I don't miss
the tomato sauce at all.

1083
00:37:42,628 --> 00:37:44,861
Couscous is basically
massage pasta, right?

1084
00:37:44,863 --> 00:37:46,096
It just feels good
in your mouth.

1085
00:37:46,098 --> 00:37:47,831
It's all that texture, you know.

1086
00:37:47,833 --> 00:37:49,165
And, it's really well done.

1087
00:37:49,167 --> 00:37:50,900
Did you hear what he said
about couscous?

1088
00:37:50,902 --> 00:37:51,968
It's massage pasta.

1089
00:37:51,970 --> 00:37:53,136
Yeah, it's boba pasta.

1090
00:37:53,138 --> 00:37:55,171
It is boba pasta.

1091
00:37:55,173 --> 00:37:57,974
All right, not to be outdone,
chef Emerson.

1092
00:37:57,976 --> 00:38:00,043
So, the dish I decided
to make today

1093
00:38:00,045 --> 00:38:02,312
is a traditional comfort food
that I grew up with,

1094
00:38:02,314 --> 00:38:03,313
arroz caldo.

1095
00:38:03,315 --> 00:38:05,248
It's a Filipino-style
rice porridge,

1096
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:08,118
cooked with chicken,
ginger, garlic, onion,

1097
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,387
and is topped with
some chicharrons.

1098
00:38:10,389 --> 00:38:12,956
Emerson, I got bad news
for you, brother.

1099
00:38:13,324 --> 00:38:14,157
I'm moving in.

1100
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:15,992
[laughing]

1101
00:38:15,994 --> 00:38:18,628
That is a really great
comforting dish.

1102
00:38:18,630 --> 00:38:21,031
Especially with that
back noted ginger

1103
00:38:21,033 --> 00:38:22,365
that cuts through,
what is really, kind of,

1104
00:38:22,367 --> 00:38:25,135
a almost creamy chicken soup.

1105
00:38:25,137 --> 00:38:27,604
You took a really big risk here.

1106
00:38:27,606 --> 00:38:31,207
Because, all of your
ingredients were in that pot.

1107
00:38:31,209 --> 00:38:32,309
And, I think it paid off.

1108
00:38:32,311 --> 00:38:33,777
I took a bite of that

1109
00:38:33,779 --> 00:38:37,414
and it was almost overwhelming
how much flavor you packed

1110
00:38:37,416 --> 00:38:40,417
into this beautiful
bright, yellow bowl.

1111
00:38:40,419 --> 00:38:42,052
The rice is right to the edge.

1112
00:38:42,054 --> 00:38:43,920
Right just overcooked perfectly

1113
00:38:43,922 --> 00:38:45,989
that you want in,
kind of, that stewy porridge.

1114
00:38:46,357 --> 00:38:47,624
My biggest complaint,

1115
00:38:47,626 --> 00:38:49,559
I got some giant cloves
of garlic in there,

1116
00:38:49,561 --> 00:38:52,028
so I am making out
with zero people today.

1117
00:38:52,063 --> 00:38:53,096
Thank you.

1118
00:38:53,098 --> 00:38:54,798
Thank you, judges.
Thank you, chefs.

1119
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,799
You guys did awesome.

1120
00:38:55,801 --> 00:38:56,866
Please, we're going to
send you back

1121
00:38:56,868 --> 00:38:58,068
so the judges can deliberate.

1122
00:38:58,070 --> 00:38:59,235
Great job, guys. Thank you.

1123
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:02,872
Did anyone's comfort food

1124
00:39:02,874 --> 00:39:04,607
give them a comfortable lead?

1125
00:39:04,609 --> 00:39:07,210
Let's talk about Jordan's first.

1126
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:10,180
He really took from
a lot of different cultures

1127
00:39:10,182 --> 00:39:11,047
and put 'em into on plate.

1128
00:39:11,049 --> 00:39:12,615
But, his shakshuka was not.

1129
00:39:12,617 --> 00:39:14,718
I was totally comfortable
with his riff on it.

1130
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:16,353
I thought that he'd seasoned
the lamb really well.

1131
00:39:16,355 --> 00:39:20,290
Shakshuka and bolognese
is about the sauce.

1132
00:39:20,292 --> 00:39:23,493
And, that was sorely missing
in Jordan's dish.

1133
00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:26,863
Emerson's dish
was so comforting.

1134
00:39:26,865 --> 00:39:29,065
[Troy] Who knew that you could
stare at a dish for so long?

1135
00:39:29,067 --> 00:39:30,233
[all laughing]

1136
00:39:30,235 --> 00:39:32,168
And, have it come out so good.

1137
00:39:32,170 --> 00:39:33,336
[Jeff] He did. He really did.

1138
00:39:33,338 --> 00:39:35,171
But, there
was some unrefinement.

1139
00:39:35,173 --> 00:39:37,941
He was like, "Oh, I usually
mince the garlic."

1140
00:39:37,943 --> 00:39:38,875
[Guy] Thank you very much.

1141
00:39:38,877 --> 00:39:40,043
Let's get these scores
totaled up.

1142
00:39:40,045 --> 00:39:41,378
Hunter, get it post to the board

1143
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:42,979
and let's call the chefs
back in.

1144
00:39:47,985 --> 00:39:49,285
All right, judges, thank you.

1145
00:39:49,287 --> 00:39:52,222
You have been treated to
a very special experience

1146
00:39:52,224 --> 00:39:53,423
here in Flavortown Market.

1147
00:39:53,425 --> 00:39:56,025
We were bringing in
the real cooks,

1148
00:39:56,027 --> 00:39:57,327
who, I think, personally,

1149
00:39:57,329 --> 00:39:59,028
have come in and competed

1150
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:00,096
like restaurant cooks.

1151
00:40:00,098 --> 00:40:01,998
So, big round of applause
to the both of you.

1152
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:03,466
- [all clapping]
- [whoops]

1153
00:40:05,336 --> 00:40:07,170
A lot going on in this
comfort food round.

1154
00:40:07,172 --> 00:40:08,104
Let's take a look.

1155
00:40:08,106 --> 00:40:10,140
Jordan in the lead, two points.

1156
00:40:10,841 --> 00:40:12,108
15 in gameplay.

1157
00:40:12,110 --> 00:40:14,244
17 in taste, nice.

1158
00:40:14,246 --> 00:40:17,147
Seven in plating,
for a total of 39.

1159
00:40:17,149 --> 00:40:18,982
A total of 79 points.

1160
00:40:18,984 --> 00:40:20,116
Congratulations.

1161
00:40:20,118 --> 00:40:23,052
Only dropping one point
from your first round.

1162
00:40:23,054 --> 00:40:26,022
Emerson, you need more
than a 41.

1163
00:40:26,024 --> 00:40:27,123
Going to gameplay.

1164
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:28,591
16.

1165
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:31,161
- Taste, 18.
- [man] Woah.

1166
00:40:31,163 --> 00:40:32,429
Plating, eight.

1167
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:34,397
- 42 points.
- [Aarti] Wow.

1168
00:40:34,399 --> 00:40:36,332
[Guy] 80 points for the win!

1169
00:40:36,334 --> 00:40:37,634
[all exclaiming]

1170
00:40:37,636 --> 00:40:39,002
[Guy] Oh, wow!

1171
00:40:39,004 --> 00:40:41,171
[Troy] Nail-biter. Nail-biter.

1172
00:40:41,173 --> 00:40:43,072
Emerson, congratulations,

1173
00:40:43,074 --> 00:40:45,108
that is a big
come-from-behind win.

1174
00:40:45,110 --> 00:40:47,977
Jordan, congratulations for
a big first round lead.

1175
00:40:47,979 --> 00:40:49,279
I'm sorry there's not
two winners,

1176
00:40:49,281 --> 00:40:50,647
but Jordan, it was great
to see you cook.

1177
00:40:50,649 --> 00:40:51,915
Thank you, chef.

1178
00:40:51,917 --> 00:40:53,016
<i>[Jordan] Even though
I didn't win,</i>

1179
00:40:53,018 --> 00:40:53,983
<i>what an experience.</i>

1180
00:40:53,985 --> 00:40:54,984
I'm just a home cook.

1181
00:40:54,986 --> 00:40:56,286
<i>I didn't go to culinary school.</i>

1182
00:40:56,288 --> 00:40:57,454
<i>I don't own a restaurant.</i>

1183
00:40:57,456 --> 00:40:59,155
<i>But, I got to come here
and play in Flavortown</i>

1184
00:40:59,157 --> 00:41:01,157
and that was incredible.

1185
00:41:04,228 --> 00:41:06,930
Well, there you have it
ladies and gentlemen.

1186
00:41:06,932 --> 00:41:09,265
Meet our Global Food
Fanatics winner

1187
00:41:09,267 --> 00:41:10,266
chef Emerson.

1188
00:41:10,268 --> 00:41:11,868
[all cheering]

1189
00:41:11,870 --> 00:41:12,635
Congratulations.

1190
00:41:13,170 --> 00:41:14,103
Thank you.

1191
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:18,241
Buddy, not only did
you just win $10,000,

1192
00:41:18,243 --> 00:41:21,277
but you also have a return trip

1193
00:41:21,279 --> 00:41:23,680
to Flavortown Market
to compete against

1194
00:41:23,682 --> 00:41:25,882
two other Food Fanatic winners

1195
00:41:25,884 --> 00:41:29,152
and a chance at winning
up to another $20,000.

1196
00:41:29,154 --> 00:41:31,221
So excited and nervous.

1197
00:41:31,223 --> 00:41:32,622
[all laughing]

1198
00:41:32,624 --> 00:41:34,624
<i>[Emerson] This is beyond
my wildest dreams.</i>

1199
00:41:34,626 --> 00:41:36,392
My wife and my two kids
inspired me

1200
00:41:36,394 --> 00:41:37,961
to make these dishes today.

1201
00:41:37,963 --> 00:41:38,962
<i>I owe it all to them.</i>

1202
00:41:38,964 --> 00:41:39,929
[Guy] I'll tell you what,

1203
00:41:39,931 --> 00:41:41,965
the competitors that
are coming in here,

1204
00:41:41,967 --> 00:41:43,766
these food fanatics from
around the country

1205
00:41:43,768 --> 00:41:45,201
are the real deal.

1206
00:41:45,203 --> 00:41:46,402
And, you wanna see what's
gonna happen?

1207
00:41:46,404 --> 00:41:47,437
You gotta tune in.

1208
00:41:47,439 --> 00:41:48,738
We got one more round to go

1209
00:41:48,740 --> 00:41:50,006
and then, the big finale.

1210
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:52,809
And, someone's gonna get
a shot at up to 20,000 bucks.

1211
00:41:52,811 --> 00:41:54,043
We'll see you guys next week.

1212
00:41:54,045 --> 00:41:55,512
<i>Triple-G. Adios.</i>

1213
00:41:55,514 --> 00:41:57,247
- [all cheering]
- Well done.

1214
00:41:58,983 --> 00:42:00,049
Congratulations.
