- I'm Tituss Burgess, and this is Dishmantled!
The badass competition where we blast a dish to smithereens...
to see if two blindfolded chefs can guess it, then make it.
- That's kind of amazing.
- Whoever makes a dish closest to what exploded on them
wins $5,000.
- Oh, my God! - WOMAN: Oh...
Y'all ready to watch me blow some shit up?
- My name is Matt Pace.
With the $5,000, I would lay on my bed...
...and rub it all on myself like Scrooge McDuck.
- My name is Lindsay Monarski.
I'm trying so hard not to fangirl right now...
...because I love Tituss.
- Once I hit this button, you'll only have 30 minutes to taste and cook.
From Marcus,
Rachel, and myself.
All rise.
Let's get Dishmantled!
- MAN: Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God! This is so good!
- She seems to like it. - Yeah.
- I taste the vanilla.
- MATT: Maple syrup.
- LINDSAY: Fresh fruit.
- Yeah, this is some kind of breakfast.
- It is definitely some kind of dessert.
- Rachel, what do you think it is?
- Some sort of fruit dessert. Some sort of dough-y something.
- For me, it's like breakfast-brunch.
It's fluffy and sweet, it's some kind of cake.
But is it a shortcake, is it a pound cake?
Wait a minute.
I just can't figure it out.
- It's soft and spongy. This has got to be a pancake.
And I feel bits and pieces of something that feels like a berry.
Tastes a little sweet, not too tart.
I can feel that little crown on top.
So, I'm, like, I know this is a blueberry.
- Mmm, I can have this for dessert, for sure.
- Does she know it by now?
- Now they're just getting their free meal out of the show.
- MARCUS: Yeah. Exactly.
-TITUSS: Time's ticking, kids!
I'm panicked for them, and I'm not even in the competition.
- LINDSAY: When I was in the tube,
I remember tasting whipped cream, berries and some kind of cake.
It had this spongy texture to it.
So, my guts went with shortcake 'cause it's just so fluffy.
I'm gonna make shortcake. with berries and whipped cream.
I just want to make a ton.
I feel so confident about it.
- Between the whipped cream,
the feel and taste of those blueberries and those pancakes,
this is pancakes and blueberry compote.
If there's pancakes, there's got to be syrup.
So, I'm using maple syrup in here too.
- You've got under 15 minutes.
- What do you think she's putting in the oven?
- She's going more in the cake direction.
Matt is making a pancake.
- Tituss, do you think they're on the right track here?
Because you know... You know the real answer.
- I can't tell you.
- How you doing, Matt? - Good. How are you doing over there?
- Trying. Working on it.
- MATT: Lindsay and I are clearly not making the same thing.
So it's making me kind of second-guess. Do I really know that this is pancakes?
Whatever it is, game on.
- Please be almost done!
- Where did you get your start?
- My grandma, my entire family. - Those people cook.
- See, I'm jealous 'cause I'm Jewish,
and the Jews are not known for their culinary mastery.
- That is true.
- I always aspired to be that person, but I'm just not.
- Have more wine... - MARCUS: Yeah!
- Can we get three more of these, please?
- TITUSS: Thirty seconds!
Did you recreate what was Dishmantled?
In five, four, three, two, one!
Time's up!
Lindsay, what the hell is this?
- What I have for you guys today is shortcake with berries and whipped cream.
- Lindsay, when you were eating the food off the floor...
what was the deciding taste in there that made you create this dish?
- When I first felt the cake,
I was thinking, like, is this some kind of pancake, but I was, like, no.
It's kind of fluffy, you know. This has to be a cake.
- It tastes good to me, but that's not the game.
Thank you, Lindsay. - Thank you so much.
- Matt, what the hell is going on here?
- I made for you a pancake with a blueberry compote.
- Well, I didn't eat breakfast, so I'm really digging this.
But, what did you taste the most that made you think to make a pancake?
- It was mote texture than anything.
The cake that I picked up, it had that fluffiness, but still kind of a stiffness,
so I didn't think it was like a cake-cake.
- And in terms of the fruit?
- If you actually picked up and felt that little crown that's on top.
- Oh, sure! - I was like, "OK. I know what this is."
- That was a hustling move, right?
- Good move, man. - Thank you.
-RACHEL: I'm dying to know which one got it right.
Tituss, are you going to reveal that now?
- All right, enough of the suspense.
Only one of you is walking out of here with $5,000.
The Dishmantled plate was...
blueberry pancakes.
Which means the winner is Chef Matt.
- Oh, my God!
- TITUSS: It was your use of pancake mix and maple syrup
that earned you the win!
- Congratulations! - Thank you.
- Go get your money, honey!
- My taste-buds are on point.
Makin' it rain.
