00:01Previously on Next Level Chef.
00:03From 24 chefs, only 15 of you will make you
00:06into that incredible draft.
00:08Go home, chef.
00:10Oh, my goodness.
00:11I want one of you to want me.
00:12I did not get this far to get this far.
00:15Five professional chefs, social media stars,
00:19and home cooks.
00:21You have earned your way into that incredible draft.
00:25Talk about a dream.
00:27And tonight, we are going to draft
00:29our team.
00:31Come on, Chef Ramsay.
00:32Pick your boy.
00:33Good luck, Gordon.
00:34You'll need it.
00:35Got to go.
00:36Got to go.
00:36Oh, my god.
00:37Flat board.
00:38Now, now, now.
00:39You want to write him down in your little book?
00:41Oh, my goodness me.
00:42Does not take criticism well.
01:02Oh, my goodness.
01:03Good morning, chefs.
01:05All right.
01:06Whoo.
01:08Let's go.
01:09The butterflies I'm experiencing are insane.
01:13Sort of like Hunger Games without the death part.
01:15Are you guys ready to go?
01:17Yes, Chef.
01:17I am glad because we are going to draft our teams.
01:25The fact is, we all know, it's Team Blaze that was victorious last year.
01:30Oh, Lord.
01:31Chef Austin put us up on the top level.
01:33And I plan on keeping our team up there all season long.
01:36Listen, you best believe, you guys, I've been taking notes, OK, on all of you.
01:45You have a notebook?
01:47I sure do.
01:47Because I'm putting together a team that is going to absolutely dominate all season long.
01:53Nyesha's coming out of fighting.
01:54Wow.
01:56I looked at her notebook, and it says, how to beat Blaze, page one.
02:01It's been a minute since Team Errington has had a winner with Piet in season one,
02:05but we're going to take back that crown.
02:07I love the fact that you two are super confident.
02:09You know that.
02:09But there's only one two-time winning mentor standing in front of these talented chefs.
02:15Yes!
02:15And I intend taking it to a three-time hat trick.
02:21Right.
02:22Team Errington gets the first pick.
02:24Nyesha, you're on the clock.
02:26Where are you going?
02:27Chef Errington is a legend.
02:29I would love to be on Chef Errington's team.
02:31Come on.
02:32It's a match made in heaven.
02:33This is a very important decision.
02:35I'm looking for a well-rounded team who brings the best energy.
02:39I've taken a lot of notes on who would fit on Team Errington.
02:43My first choice is an easy one.
02:47And it's going to be Danielle.
02:52Wow.
02:54Did she say Danielle the very first?
02:57Woo!
02:59I have never been number one pick for anything in my whole life.
03:03I will make you proud.
03:04I believe it.
03:06Number one, baby!
03:09I'm not shocked, but I'm happy.
03:10Because that means I get the chef that I've wanted from the minute they stepped into that kitchen.
03:16I'm not looking for a front runner.
03:18I'm looking for someone that I can help, mentor, and get stronger.
03:23The first member of Team Ramsey.
03:25Come on, Chef Ramsey.
03:27Pick your boy.
03:28Pick your boy.
03:31It's Gabrielle.
03:32Welcome.
03:33Let's go.
03:35Let's go.
03:36Are you kidding me?
03:37Chef Ramsey's first pick.
03:40Thank you, Chef.
03:41We won't let you down.
03:42Welcome to Team Ramsey.
03:43That is un-freaking-real.
03:47Listen, I'm very excited about this moment because I get two championship picks in a row.
03:54On my first pick, though, an absolute slam dunk.
03:58To be honest, this chef had me at first bite.
04:01Team Blaze's first pick is Christian.
04:05Wow.
04:06Let's go, Christian.
04:07Okay.
04:07Let's go.
04:08First bite.
04:09Bring the flavors.
04:10You ready?
04:11Yes, Chef.
04:12It's a Blaze.
04:12Oh, can't wait to get you your first pickleball set.
04:16Okay, so you might not see my next pick coming here, but after studying the performances here
04:23in the auditions and maybe doing a little online research as well, the next member of Team Blaze
04:28is Tim.
04:30Let's go, Tim.
04:31Come on.
04:32Let's go.
04:33I'm ready for this.
04:34Starting strong.
04:36I see huge potential in my next pick.
04:40Andy.
04:41Come on.
04:44I saw her in your little black book.
04:46He did, clearly.
04:46I did, I did.
04:48I gave that one to you.
04:50Oh.
04:52The next member of Team Arrington is Connor.
04:56Wow.
04:57Let's go.
04:58LA on the map.
04:59Let's go.
05:00For my third pick, Emerson.
05:07The next member of Team Ramsey is Cole.
05:12Welcome.
05:14Yes.
05:14Welcome.
05:15Let's go.
05:16Yes.
05:17Back to back again.
05:19Team Blaze is going with Darian.
05:22Let's go, Darian.
05:24Okay.
05:24Bring it up front.
05:25I'll make you a winner.
05:27Let's go.
05:28We have this, like, win-at-all-costs vibe.
05:31So I'm going to go with someone who knows competition more than anyone else here.
05:35I can't believe that they're still out here.
05:37Team Blaze select Jared.
05:38Let's go.
05:39Wow.
05:39Come on.
05:40Let's go, Captain America.
05:41The next member to join Team Ramsey.
05:45Say, Amber.
05:47I'm here.
05:48Amber, let's go.
05:50Yes.
05:52Woo!
05:54Team Ramsey!
05:56Oh, my God!
06:00Mm, you're pissed now, aren't you?
06:01I clearly see that you have a theme going on here with the badass women.
06:05Oh, yes.
06:05We love that.
06:06But you guys have left two chefs that I've wanted from the start.
06:11Machete.
06:12Welcome to Team Arrington.
06:14I love the flavor you bring.
06:15I love the vibes you bring.
06:17Hey!
06:17There we go.
06:19Our final chef to round us out.
06:22Mr. Matt.
06:24Welcome to Team Arrington, sir.
06:26Team Arrington!
06:27Maria and Elise, honestly, I can't believe you two are still out there.
06:30I'd gladly take both of you.
06:32Tom Brady was picked 199th overall, and guess what?
06:37He won seven championships.
06:38I'm not worried.
06:39Right, the final member joining Team Ramsey, Maria.
06:44Welcome, Adani.
06:45Welcome.
06:45Let's go.
06:47Elise, this played right into our hands.
06:50Join Team Blaze.
06:51Hello, gentlemen.
06:53That's fine.
06:53Everyone can doubt you.
06:54It doesn't matter because they don't know what you can bring.
06:57The teams are set.
06:59Everybody excited?
07:00Let's go, baby!
07:02Now it's time for your first big, important challenge.
07:06I think we should have a bit of a celebration.
07:08Yes.
07:09Yeah.
07:09Or better yet, a fiesta.
07:11Yes!
07:12Let's go!
07:13Because for your first team challenge, we are heading south of the border.
07:18Let's go.
07:19With a next level taco party.
07:23Let's talk about it.
07:24Let's talk about it.
07:25Y'all don't want this smoke over here.
07:27Taco time!
07:28I know I got this, man.
07:30I'm five-time Houston's best taco champion.
07:33Run it up.
07:33Run it up.
07:34Right, here's the good news.
07:35You'll have 30 minutes to create three identical next level tacos.
07:40Yes, we got this.
07:41The chef that creates the best tacos today will keep their entire team safe from elimination.
07:46Fire.
07:47And move your team to the top level next time around.
07:50Sadly, the two losing teams will each send a chef into that dreaded cook-off, where one
07:56of you will be eliminated.
07:58Don't let it be you.
08:00Right, you guys ready?
08:01Yes, Chef.
08:02Let's go.
08:03Okay, Team Blaze, I've been waiting to say this for a really long time.
08:08As reigning champions, we will start on the top level.
08:12Let's go.
08:13Head to the elevator.
08:14I'll see you there soon.
08:15Let's go, Team Blaze.
08:16The only way is down.
08:17I can't wait to put this blue apron on.
08:19Teamwork makes the dream work.
08:20Next level, Chef.
08:26Team Blaze, baby.
08:28Yes.
08:28Let's get it.
08:31All right.
08:34Chef Blaze, assemble the Avengers.
08:36Assemble.
08:38That's Captain America for you.
08:39We're blazing blue, the hottest part of the flame.
08:45Yay!
08:46Let's go!
08:48Feels so good to be in this kitchen.
08:50We're a team now.
08:52The girl power, you can taste it.
08:55The Gordon girls.
08:56The Gordon girls!
09:00Yes, you, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
09:03Oh, my gosh.
09:05It's like home sweet home.
09:07I don't need that one no more.
09:09Woo!
09:10This looks nice.
09:13Yes!
09:14Yes!
09:15Yes!
09:16Let's go!
09:16Oh, my God!
09:20Let's go!
09:24Let's go!
09:27Let's go!
09:28Let's go!
09:29Let's go!
09:30Let's go!
09:32Let's go!
09:33When I told them the news that I've got an all-female team, they're so excited!
09:37Yay!
09:38So excited!
09:40All right, everybody, how are we doing, guys?
09:42Let's do it.
09:43Let's go!
09:44Bring it over here.
09:45So this is a taco challenge, but it's not a Mexican challenge.
09:48This could be a taco from New Orleans, a Chinese taco, like whatever it is.
09:52We're always thinking about making the challenge ours.
09:55What do I do well?
09:57All right, let's line it up over here on the door.
10:02Here it comes.
10:02When the light goes green, it's go time.
10:04All right, guys.
10:05Back-to-back champs this year.
10:09Go!
10:14All right, there we go.
10:15Proteins.
10:15Make sure you grab a protein.
10:17The first thing I see is flank steak, and I'm like, oh, I love a steak taco.
10:21Of course, I'm gonna pick that.
10:22All right, chilies.
10:23There's corn, salsa.
10:25Oh, my gosh.
10:26Tomato-based.
10:27What kind of tongue is that?
10:28I'm not touching that.
10:29I'm like, you know what?
10:30That's going to the basement.
10:32All right, chipotle and adobo, tomato-based.
10:34See that pork loin?
10:35Beautiful fat cap.
10:36Grab that immediately.
10:38Go-chi-chang's right behind you.
10:39Go-chi-chang.
10:40It looks like gold-shining at me.
10:42All right, grab that.
10:43Five seconds left.
10:44There's garnish, citrus, fresher,
10:47herbs, and citrus.
10:48Right?
10:48If you can grab it, you can get it.
10:50Grab it or regret it.
10:51Whew.
10:51Good luck, Gordon.
10:53You'll need it.
10:54Okay, let's go, ladies.
10:55Let's go.
10:57Right.
10:57Gollum's there.
10:59There's some goat scraps there.
11:00The first thing I see is a ribeye.
11:03Let's go, baby.
11:04I see some refried beans.
11:06I see peanuts!
11:09Try mahi-mahi.
11:11Ooh, mahi-mahi.
11:12That is perfect.
11:13Prime gold protein for tacos.
11:16I have no idea what they're doing upstairs,
11:19but I'm happy they sent this down to me.
11:21Pepper.
11:21Five seconds, ladies.
11:22Pepper.
11:23Pepper.
11:23Good.
11:24Oh, my goodness me.
11:26Holy crap.
11:27Platform is on the move, guys.
11:30Let's go.
11:32Go, go, go!
11:33Next level taco.
11:34Oh, sorry, sir.
11:35Everybody's going down the alleyway.
11:37My ass goes around the table.
11:39I see tongue.
11:40Hell, nah.
11:41Tripe.
11:42Disgusting.
11:43Lo and behold, the con.
11:45I grab the con.
11:46The easy taco decision.
11:48Cola.
11:48Why not?
11:5015 seconds, guys.
11:51Let's go.
11:52The platform has been picked over.
11:55We got to try.
11:56You want to try?
11:56You want to try?
11:57The ingredients that are left are straight garbage.
11:59So I grab the beef tongue.
12:02Grab it, grab it, grab it!
12:03Back to your station.
12:04Organize yourself.
12:05This is not a good choice.
12:07How do you elevate beef tongue?
12:10And I tell myself all the time, keep it simple, stupid.
12:13And sometimes I don't keep it simple.
12:15Sometimes I go towards the stupid side.
12:22All right, guys.
12:23Your 30-minute starts right now.
12:25Let's go!
12:28Matt Dad, welcome to you, Marrington, bud.
12:30Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
12:31What did you grab?
12:32I saw it there at the very beginning.
12:33It's you and me.
12:34I grab beef tongue.
12:35I've been dreaming about beef tongue, not wanting to get it.
12:37But I dreamed about it, so I was prepared for it.
12:39I love that.
12:40Beef tongue's not easy, but I can make a bacon jam
12:43that's kind of sweet, salty, spicy.
12:47So I'm making crispy beef tongue tacos with bacon jam.
12:53Delicious dip of flavor here.
12:54You got to get this cooking, okay?
12:55Yeah, I'm on it.
12:57Bro, look at all this good stuff.
12:59Michetti.
13:00What's up, baby?
13:00I'm in the van for a taco challenge.
13:01You know what I'm saying?
13:02You got the king bin, H-Town king taco bin.
13:04Let's go.
13:04What did you grab?
13:05I got some cod over here.
13:06I'm going to do, like, a nice cola battered cod.
13:08We don't need a beer batterer.
13:10I got Coca-Cola.
13:10I got everything in there I need for it.
13:13Come on, baby.
13:14Thank you, the basement.
13:15Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
13:16Connor, what'd you grab?
13:16Dad, let's go.
13:17I got goat.
13:17Goat, amazing.
13:18You love goat.
13:19Reflective of my captain right here.
13:21Because it's the goat, baby.
13:25Emerson.
13:26All right, I got type taco here,
13:27so I'm doing, like, a birria-inspired.
13:29Don't forget the sauce on the side, okay?
13:31Okay, and I'm going to make a fresh salsa.
13:33Nice fresh salsa.
13:34And then I'm going to make a homemade, like, crema sauce.
13:37Really smart, really creative.
13:39I love it.
13:39Thank you, chef.
13:40In Filipino culture, we eat tripe with many of our dishes,
13:43but you need to know how to cook it, get the right texture.
13:46You got to know how to season it.
13:47Once you nail all of that, tripe is beautiful.
13:51Oh, this is tasting good, chef.
13:53Five minutes gone, 25 to go.
13:57Maria.
13:58I'm going to do chicken thighs, almost to wear my style.
14:01How are you going to cook the chicken?
14:02I'm going to sear them and then pop them in the oven, I think.
14:05We're good.
14:06We're good.
14:06We're good.
14:07You good.
14:08You good.
14:09Right, protein-wise, what did we get?
14:10Tiger prawns.
14:11Yes, come on.
14:13I love seafood tacos.
14:15Everybody loves my tacos.
14:16My whole family, like, we love getting together
14:18and just, like, serving it up.
14:19Supplement from California.
14:21Yeah.
14:21There's some great tacos there, right?
14:22Southern California has the best.
14:24So what are you going to do with this?
14:25Turn it into a glaze.
14:26So I'm going to cook the prawns separately
14:27and then finish them with the glaze on top.
14:29Nice.
14:29Now, you've got lovely flavors here as well, by the way.
14:30Thank you, thank you.
14:31All right, what did you grab?
14:33Ribeye.
14:33Yes, chef.
14:34I'm toasting my peanuts right now to make a rub,
14:37just inspired by Cameroon.
14:39I was born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa.
14:42Soya has this peanut-y base and then just that little hint of spice.
14:47It's the best.
14:52Elise, how are we doing here?
14:54We got a flank steak?
14:55We do.
14:55I'm going to marinate this in some buttermilk and some traditional spices.
15:00My kids have a tough time chewing through a lot of meat and protein.
15:04So I'm just going to marinate my flank steak in buttermilk.
15:08It's a thing that I do fairly often.
15:11I know that my kids would appreciate it.
15:14So you're marinating it almost like a tandoori chicken.
15:17I just want it tender.
15:18I want it juicy.
15:19I want it delicious.
15:20Let's start cooking that meat and start working on the flavor.
15:22Yes.
15:23Got you.
15:23Breathe.
15:24Everything is okay.
15:25Twenty minutes remain.
15:27Twenty minutes.
15:27Feeling good, Christian?
15:29All good.
15:29So good.
15:30You look good over there.
15:32Okay, Christian.
15:32What are we doing?
15:33I'm doing a gochujang sweet glazed grilled pork one and a really spicy chili or bowl salsa.
15:39Just be mindful that we don't have too much spice going on.
15:41The gochujang and the chilis can be both spicy, right?
15:43Yes, chef.
15:43I work on a show called Hot Kitchen.
15:46I make spicy food good.
15:47That's my thing.
15:50Oh, sheesh.
15:52She's a spicy .
15:53No one goes home today.
15:56Listen, mid-round drop.
15:57You got to go to the platform right now.
15:59I see a bunch of balls of dough.
16:01I was like, wait, do I not have to make my own tortilla?
16:03Amazing.
16:04You got masa tortillas, fresh made.
16:07I saw the pink of the beat.
16:08Love that color.
16:09Let's roll.
16:10It was pretty.
16:13Ladies, you're going to grab a masa dough now, please.
16:17You've got charcoal flavor, red corn here, ancho chili flavor.
16:21I'm just going to play it safe and go with a white corn masa.
16:25I just don't have experience working with dough.
16:30Quick, quick, quick seconds to go, guys.
16:32Yeah, good color.
16:34All right, guys.
16:35We need a tortilla to make a taco.
16:37Grab a masa that makes sense with your flavors.
16:40Red corn masa.
16:42It's not staying here.
16:44The platform's going up.
16:45Oh.
16:46Oh.
16:46I reached my hand there.
16:47I grabbed that squid ink dough.
16:49I am too.
16:50Squid ink.
16:51OK.
16:52This'll work.
16:53Let's get it away.
16:55All right, we unstoppable.
16:56Come on.
16:56We're unstoppable.
16:57We're halfway down, guys.
16:58Make sure your tortillas are not too thin.
17:01Not pretty.
17:02We're going to start over.
17:03That's OK.
17:06Boom.
17:06How are we doing over here?
17:08Not great.
17:09We're struggling with that thing.
17:10We're struggling with the press?
17:11It's not working for me.
17:12Yes.
17:12OK.
17:12I've just come off from being last picked,
17:15and I'm just frustrated with the dough.
17:17You're a frickin' mess.
17:19It is extremely difficult to get me angry,
17:23and I am pissed working with that tortilla.
17:26It is just a wreck.
17:28Oh, come on.
17:30I'm so over it.
17:38All right.
17:39Get together, girl.
17:40I'm not going home over a frickin' tortilla.
17:42It's a Murphy's Law situation.
17:44Whatever can go wrong is going wrong.
17:46Oh, no.
17:47I'm running out of time.
17:48Oh, my gosh.
17:4910 minutes remain.
17:5110 minutes remain.
17:52Yes, Chef.
17:53Hey, what do you do with your tortillas when they're done?
17:54Yeah, you throw them in a towel.
17:55Let them wrap.
17:57That one needs a little more time, though.
17:58It's still raw.
17:58Yes, Chef.
17:59Appreciate that.
18:02Tim, all right, Texas has got to represent with the tortillas.
18:05Got it.
18:06You feeling OK?
18:07Feeling good.
18:07All right, let's go.
18:08Feeling good.
18:08Let's go, dude.
18:09Come on.
18:09I've seen you online.
18:10I watch you, dude.
18:11Hell, yeah.
18:11I watch you, just like on the IG, OK?
18:13That's right.
18:16Get your pans on ready for your tortillas.
18:18Do not wait too long.
18:21I can't believe I'm cooking with Chef Ramsay right now.
18:24We're good.
18:25You good.
18:26You good.
18:26Everyone got their tortillas, yes?
18:27Making mine now, Chef.
18:29Making tortillas now, Chef.
18:30Where's your pan?
18:30Do you need this water?
18:31No.
18:31No.
18:32Not too thick on those.
18:34Yeah?
18:35It's good.
18:35Touch thinner, right?
18:37You got it, Chef.
18:37This one's falling apart.
18:39Corn tortillas break really easily.
18:41I only have one that's not falling apart.
18:46Ladies, we are not losing this.
18:48We're not losing, Chef.
18:49We are not losing.
18:51Six and a half minutes left.
18:53No one goes home today.
18:55Darian, we're good?
18:56Yes, Chef.
18:57Pineapple sauce is already working.
18:58Nice, dude.
18:59Nice.
19:00OK.
19:00I'm making my jerk spice right now.
19:02OK.
19:02I'm going to grind this up.
19:03Get some flavor going.
19:04Homemade jerk spice.
19:06Homemade jerk spice.
19:06Love the idea.
19:08Put jerk on anything, it's going to be delicious.
19:10You see a crocodile running by this, put some jerk on that thing?
19:13It's going to be tasty.
19:16Christian, you good?
19:16Yeah.
19:17Chopping up protein, Chef.
19:18That's the thing I think you can finish on that griddle, man.
19:20There we go.
19:21There we go.
19:22Thank you, Chef.
19:25All right, Jared.
19:26What do we got going on?
19:27We got this ground brisket.
19:28We got some hot sauce Tabasco.
19:29It's going to be nice.
19:30So was this draft very similar to the NFL draft?
19:33Yeah.
19:33It did have that same kind of high-octane feel.
19:36A little bit different, though, you know, when you have Gordon Ramsay up there calling out your name.
19:39But, hey, you had my back when it was O-line dinner, so I'm pumped to be on Team Blaze.
19:43Let's go.
19:44Let's go, Jared.
19:47Five minutes, guys.
19:49Be smart, okay?
19:50Heard, Chef.
19:52Oh, that goat smells crazy good.
19:54Machete.
19:55Yeah.
19:55This is right in your wheelhouse, huh?
19:57Oh, I love this.
19:58You started with $1 tacos outside your dad's shop, right?
20:00Yeah, my mechanic shop, Chef.
20:02I love that.
20:02You know what I mean?
20:03I do.
20:04Now I feel like I'm really back alley again.
20:10Ha, ha, ha.
20:11How are we doing, Matt, Dad?
20:12I feel good.
20:13That's my beef tongue.
20:15A little southwestern-type seasoning.
20:18Delicious.
20:19Thank you, Chef.
20:21Dude, this knife sucks.
20:26Oh, my God.
20:27Chef, you should try this, Frank.
20:29Oh, trust me, I will.
20:30It's delicious.
20:32I don't even like treats.
20:33Delicious.
20:34Now you have to bring it together.
20:36Just over four minutes to go, ladies, okay?
20:41How's everybody feeling?
20:42Y'all got this?
20:43Let's go, let's go.
20:44All right.
20:46Flavor town, flavor town.
20:51Oh, it smells so good.
20:54Colt, explain these to me.
20:55They are like a taco empanada.
20:57Empanada, yeah.
20:58Have you sealed them?
20:59Yes, sir.
21:00Yeah, good.
21:00This is not gonna be a traditional taco.
21:02I didn't just put my tortilla on the grill
21:05and then stick my mahi-mahi in there.
21:08I want to make sure I stand out
21:09on this very first challenge that we have.
21:11Yeah, nice.
21:12Yes, Chef.
21:12Beastful.
21:14Two minutes left.
21:15You plate now.
21:17Do I have a protein?
21:18Do I have a tortilla?
21:19Do I have some sort of sauce?
21:20Yes, Chef.
21:21Did I have time to make a little garnish together?
21:23Yes, Chef.
21:23No one misses the platform on Team Blaze ever.
21:26No, Chef.
21:29Okay, what am I missing?
21:31The platform will be here soon.
21:32Platform's going past, ladies.
21:34We hold our nerve.
21:36Yeah, really beautiful.
21:36Nicely seasoned.
21:37This is like falling apart.
21:39Don't worry.
21:39Don't worry.
21:40The plating just looks like garbage.
21:42My tortillas are too big.
21:44I don't have enough time to redo them.
21:47Oh, God.
21:48You got it.
21:49You got it.
21:49Deep breaths.
21:5030 seconds.
21:51Yes, Chef.
21:52Don't forget, you need time to get on that platform, right?
21:56No missed platforms, right?
21:58All right, Chef.
21:58No missed platforms.
21:59Make it your competition to win, right?
22:03Heard.
22:04Platform's here.
22:05Let's go.
22:06The platform waits for no one.
22:07Connor, let's go.
22:08Max.
22:09Max, let's go.
22:10Please.
22:11Heard Jeff.
22:14Emerson, let's go.
22:17Stop.
22:18You're done.
22:19Get there, Mac.
22:20Get there, Mac.
22:21Let's go.
22:21Get on the platform.
22:24Get there.
22:27No.
22:29No.
22:30Oh, my God.
22:33Damn it.
22:35Oh.
22:38The platform waits for no one.
22:40Let's go.
22:41Emerson, you're done.
22:42Please don't miss the platform.
22:44Get down the platform.
22:45Get down the platform.
22:45Get down the platform.
22:48Get down.
22:49Oh, no.
22:51Oh, my God.
22:57Damn.
22:58Damn it.
23:00That was my fault, man.
23:02That's my fault and no one else's fault.
23:04And I let my team down.
23:06It's all right.
23:07It's all good, baby.
23:08It's okay.
23:08I had a damn good dish that really would have brought us to the top.
23:17Emerson, I hope you learned a lesson.
23:19When I give you a time and I give you a direction, you have to listen to it.
23:22I'm here to help you.
23:27There you go.
23:28All right, ladies, I need it on here now.
23:29Platform now.
23:30Let's go.
23:31Get on the platform now.
23:32It's got to go.
23:33Let's go.
23:34Let's go.
23:34All right, it's got to go.
23:35Got to go.
23:36Andy, got to go.
23:37Got to go.
23:38Got to go.
23:38Got to go.
23:39Got to go.
23:40Well done.
23:42Next.
23:49I'm hoping that, man, those babies are tucked in nicely to that holder.
23:53And I'm praying they didn't budge.
23:55I want you to remember you just started cooking, too.
23:57Like, look where you are.
23:58Look where you are.
24:00Yeah.
24:01The platform is here, guys.
24:03Got to go.
24:03Now.
24:04Now.
24:05Now.
24:06Jared, now.
24:07Let's go.
24:07Timmy, now.
24:09Jared, you got to go, dude.
24:11Finish.
24:12All the way through.
24:12Dude, dude.
24:13Come on, guys.
24:13Come on, guys.
24:13Put it up.
24:14Oh, man.
24:14Let's go.
24:16Ah!
24:18How are you feeling?
24:18I'm OK.
24:19Good.
24:27Look at these.
24:28The fragrance is incredible.
24:31Great job.
24:32Right.
24:33Shall we start in the basement?
24:35Yes, please.
24:35Please?
24:36Definitely.
24:37One, two, three, four.
24:38Did someone fall off the platform?
24:40Oh, no.
24:41Emerson, what happened?
24:42I had it up there.
24:43I was stretching myself as much as I could.
24:44I'm not as tall as Jared.
24:45And it fell.
24:46I had it done.
24:48It was done.
24:49It should have just been on that platform.
24:51I'm kicking myself for it.
24:53First up, we have a crispy tongue taco.
24:56This has a bacon jam salsa.
25:00Delicious balance.
25:01It's a basement ingredient.
25:02Definitely brought to life.
25:03Great effort.
25:05Protein's cooked nicely.
25:07Tortilla's just a tuck too thick for me.
25:09Yeah, I mean, the tortilla sort of falls apart as you eat it,
25:12but this dish is all about this delicious salsa that's in it.
25:16It's giving me sort of barbecue vibes.
25:18Great job.
25:18Next up, we have a cola battered cod with a cod skin chicharron and a kimchi crema.
25:25This is squid ink tortilla.
25:31Love the idea of that cola batter.
25:33It's nice and sweet, crispy.
25:34And I love the little pickle in the ginger.
25:36Delicious.
25:37Safe to say this is probably not this chef's first taco.
25:40The sauce is super, super delicious.
25:43The tortilla holds together.
25:44It's really well done.
25:46Next up, we have seared goat taco served with a salsa matcha and a charcoal tortilla.
25:54The goat is delicious.
25:56I mean, it's super lean.
25:57It's got the heat there, and it tastes so tender.
26:01Lastly, we have a Baja-style scallop taco with a kale and mango salsa.
26:10It's really, really tasty, really balanced.
26:12Smart way of using a sort of unwanted leaf in the taco.
26:16Great job.
26:17Shall we move to the mid-level?
26:19Let's start off with a suya Cameroonian-style rubbed ribeye.
26:25I know this individual's a little bit upset because they've nearly missed the platform as well,
26:28but it's a messy taco, right?
26:29It's not supposed to look pretty.
26:31I have never had a suya taco before, and I think I'll be adding it to a list of things
26:37to try again.
26:38Maybe I would have liked to see the ribeye chopped up on it, but it's very tasty.
26:41Messy, but there. I will take it.
26:45Next up, the spiced snapper with a cabbage slaw.
26:50These are served with blue corn tortillas.
26:58The fish in here is cooked beautifully.
27:00I love this, especially with the slaw and the salsa.
27:03Beautifully done.
27:05The fish is a little large for the tortilla that it's in, and it's lacking a lot of seasoning.
27:11Next up is a mahi-mahi deep-fried taco, almost like a sort of empanada with a saffron tortilla.
27:19This is the type of dish that I want to dive into.
27:21The texture is so craveable, I went in for a second bite.
27:24I think the overall presentation lacks a little bit.
27:27Maybe I would have loved a little bit more sauce, but frying the tortilla is super smart.
27:31Right. Next up is a sort of take on a chicken shawarma taco.
27:34Tomatillo crema and a white corn tortilla.
27:37It's a little bit messy.
27:39Okay.
27:40I am so devastated because this is not my best work.
27:46This isn't even close.
27:50Tacos should be easy to eat, and these are challenging to eat.
27:54I think what this is missing is a little bit more time on the execution,
27:57and the tortilla has not been broken.
28:01Last up.
28:02This is a prawn taco, apple kohlrabi slaw, and an archer chili tortilla.
28:09Mmm.
28:11Wow, I really appreciate the flavor of the prawn and apple kohlrabi classic pairing.
28:16Delicious.
28:17They taste beautiful.
28:20All right, let's head to the top floor.
28:22We'll start off right here.
28:23Oh, God.
28:24This is a buttermilk-marinated flank steak taco with a habanero salsa and a beet tortilla.
28:31Yeah, it's a shame.
28:32I mean, I've never marinated flank steak in buttermilk.
28:35It doesn't do it justice, if I'm honest.
28:36The flank steak needs a hard sear and a hard seasoning.
28:39And the tortillas are really thick.
28:41They can't even fold properly.
28:42I sort of had to cradle mine, sadly, to stop it from falling apart.
28:45Next up, we have a chili-rubbed tri-tip with a roasted chili salsa and an achiote tortilla.
28:54The smoky notes that come off of the tortilla play really nicely with the salsa.
28:58Delicious, the tri-tip.
28:59The texture inside these tacos are beautiful.
29:01It's a really good taco.
29:03Okay, next up, we have a jerk-spiced lobster taco with a pineapple salsa.
29:07The lobster's cooked beautifully, but it's very, very, very spicy.
29:11I love jerk spices, and it's my favorite way to clear my sinuses.
29:15I love the spice blend on this.
29:17But this salsa, put it in a jar and sell it.
29:20It's seasoned so well.
29:21Okay, so next up, we have a grilled chochijang pork taco.
29:25They look beautiful.
29:26With a chili salsa, an onion gremolata, and a cactus tortilla.
29:31I quite enjoy spicy food.
29:33It is definitely very fiery, but delicious.
29:38You're saying it's on fire.
29:39I mean, I think the dish is fire.
29:41They're eye-catching as well.
29:42We have put them together, so perfect taco.
29:46Okay, lastly, we have a spicy ground brisket taco with a little queso fresco, and a nice
29:54pico de gallo salsa.
29:57This reminds me a lot of my mom's cooking.
29:59This is probably good.
30:00She was not a very good cook.
30:02Oh, no.
30:03But she brought it on Taco Tuesday.
30:05She saved it for Tuesdays.
30:06Thank goodness.
30:07That was quite a up and down there.
30:10Excuse us.
30:11Thank you, Chefs.
30:15We got this.
30:16Yeah.
30:16What a shame that one missed, Emerson.
30:18Oh, the most unfortunate circumstances to happen.
30:20That's unfortunate, because just even from the auditions, he knows how to cook.
30:24And he's wearing the dish.
30:25Look at the back of it.
30:25What's that on his back?
30:26The delicious consomme.
30:28Wow.
30:29I just feel really bad.
30:30The one that I don't want again, though, is the taco, shawarma, shawarma, ako, taco.
30:37Yeah, a bit messy.
30:38They were overfilled, also.
30:39The red snapper was just a little bit too clumsy.
30:41It was challenging to eat.
30:43The buttermilk-marinated flank steak with the beet.
30:47Yeah, a bit weird.
30:47It was bland.
30:49I really liked the cola-battered cod.
30:53Same.
30:53Really inventive.
30:54I'm amazed that cod ended it in the basement as well, by the way.
30:57Yeah.
30:57I think the tiger prawn, from my flop, was the best.
31:00It was lacking some salsa.
31:01Oh, my goodness.
31:02It tasted like a spring roll.
31:04It's not a salsa competition.
31:04It tasted like a spring roll and needed a little dipping sauce with it.
31:06Oh, my goodness, me.
31:07Your best.
31:08Outstanding taco.
31:09I mean, spoiler for choice.
31:12There's a lot of good.
31:13Oh, my.
31:14The portfolio might have been the most beautiful of the three tacos.
31:17That's one of the better dishes upstairs.
31:18There's a lot of great dishes up there today.
31:20It's the first challenge, and already you're starting out as if all your tacos are delicious.
31:24This is not me.
31:24Come on.
31:24No.
31:25How great was that salsa?
31:26If it was salsa competition.
31:28It's not a salsa competition.
31:29You're agreeing with me.
31:30I'm just sharing my notes.
31:31Yeah, we're allowed to.
31:33I know.
31:33You want to write them down in your little book?
31:34I did.
31:34Trust me.
31:35I'm going to write some notes about you, too.
31:36Oh, my.
31:37Blaze is going to bat for whoever they don't like.
31:39I can feel it.
31:40Yeah.
31:41Does not take criticism.
31:43Take criticism.
31:43Well.
31:54Back there, we all fight for our teams, but we also fight for the best dish of the day.
32:01Richard, Naisha, and myself have come to consensus.
32:05The winning taco of the day, earning safety for their team and the right to cook in that
32:13top-level kitchen next time round was cooked by Christian.
32:20Congratulations.
32:21Let's go, Christian, baby.
32:23Team Blaze.
32:24Good job.
32:26Let's go, baby.
32:27Top dish.
32:28First round.
32:30Are you kidding?
32:31Wow.
32:33All of you are safe.
32:34Nice job, Team Blaze.
32:36Head back to the lounge, and we'll see you really, really soon.
32:39Enjoy it.
32:40Thank you, chef.
32:40I am so fortunate that Christian saved me today.
32:44I mean, I owe him, like, a margarita or something.
32:47Let's go.
32:48Let's go.
32:49Let's go.
32:49What?
32:50What?
32:51What?
32:53Oh, boy.
32:54Good job.
32:54Thank you, Christian.
32:57Thank you, guys.
32:59Gordon and Naisha, you each must choose one member from your team to head into the elimination
33:05cook-off.
33:09Emerson, I would love to give my fellow mentors an opportunity to taste your magic.
33:14So, you will be going into the elimination this evening.
33:19The person I'm sending into the elimination is...
33:26Marea.
33:27Yes, chef.
33:28Get yourself back to Team Ramsey quickly, please.
33:32Okay, Marea, Emerson, for your elimination cook-off, we'll be staying south of the border
33:38as you get ready to create one of Mexico's most iconic and adored dishes, mole.
33:47I have never seen the fear of God in someone's eyes.
33:50Emerson went...
33:53I've never cooked a mole in my life.
33:55I don't even know what's in a mole.
33:57Let's go, Emerson.
33:59Good luck.
34:00Marea, you can do this.
34:01Emerson, bring the energy, right?
34:03Mole.
34:12Let's go.
34:13I'm gonna have to lean on my team.
34:16Breathe, baby, breathe.
34:18I ain't going home.
34:19You got it, Marea.
34:20She's in the zone.
34:21She's in the zone.
34:22When I'm locked in, I'm laser focused.
34:25Emerson's super talented, but it's a boxing match right now and I'm going all the rounds.
34:31Thanks.
34:33Okay, everyone.
34:34We doing good?
34:34Hey, chef.
34:35Emerson, Marea, line up with your teams over there.
34:38We got you.
34:39Okay, listen, you have one last chance to save yourselves in this competition.
34:4330 minutes to create a next level mole entree.
34:48Yes, chef.
34:48Listen, here's the thing.
34:50Make sure you have your proteins and everything else you need to build this dish.
34:55Because, listen, we're gonna make it a little bit tougher.
34:58Platform is not staying this season.
35:03Grab it or regret it.
35:05It's already freaking hard to make a mole in 30 minutes and they're like,
35:09well, we're gonna make it harder.
35:11Really?
35:12Here it comes.
35:13When the light is green, it's go time.
35:17Go!
35:18Go, go, go.
35:19There we go.
35:19You got it, girl.
35:20You got chicken.
35:21You got it, you got it.
35:22There we go, baby.
35:23There's pork up here, Marea.
35:25Way to go.
35:26All right, all sorts of dried chilies.
35:28Chili, chili.
35:29Chipotle and adobo.
35:30Raisins are up here.
35:31Chocolate is up here.
35:32There you go.
35:32Damn.
35:33That platform isn't staying.
35:35If I miss those key ingredients on the grab, there goes the mullet.
35:38Make sure you get chocolate.
35:40Nuts, aromatics.
35:41Dates.
35:42Plants and peanut butter.
35:43Okay.
35:43One, one, grab one.
35:44Mortillas.
35:45Okay, if you can grab it, it's yours.
35:47Grab it or regret it.
35:48Okay, back to your station.
35:49Your 30-minute starts now.
35:52Oh, my God.
35:54Okay, traditionally, any mole starts with toasting some chilies.
35:58What kind of dish are you gonna make, Emerson?
36:00I'm gonna do like a chicken pollo asada.
36:02So like a dark mole.
36:03You got some sort of sweetness to balance it out.
36:05Yes, chef.
36:06You got some dates over here.
36:07And those plantains are gonna have to, like, really thicken this up.
36:09I like this.
36:10You got your onions charring, garlic, toast the almonds, right?
36:14Ooh, okay.
36:15All right, all right.
36:16See some flavor.
36:17That's looking good.
36:18Yeah.
36:18So this is what type of mole?
36:21The coloraditos.
36:22You have a sweet...
36:22Do you have something for sweetness?
36:23Yes, you have molasses.
36:24Yes, I'm gonna grab spices, too.
36:25Okay, I like that.
36:26I like that.
36:27Calm and collected, girl.
36:28Yeah.
36:28Love it.
36:29Give that chicken all that pan.
36:30Skin side down.
36:32Corn is the most important key.
36:33It's that element of yellow that's gonna pop in that brown dish.
36:3620 minutes remain.
36:38You have your mole base.
36:39We're gonna get that mixture to our blender.
36:42Nice.
36:43You got this, girl.
36:45That looks great.
36:46Beautiful.
36:46Gorgeous color.
36:48No more chili.
36:49No more chili.
36:50No more chili.
36:50No more chili.
36:52You're okay with all the seeds of the chilis being in there?
36:54Yeah.
36:54We want this a little spicy.
36:55Listen to chef.
36:56Yeah, listen to Blaze.
36:57We'll do, we'll do, we'll do, we'll do.
36:59My team is screaming at me.
37:00I will pull the stems out.
37:01I'm starting in a panic.
37:02I already screwed up because I missed the platform.
37:05Woo!
37:06I don't want to be the first one to go home.
37:09You got this, Maria.
37:10Watch that pork, girl.
37:12Get it in that skillet.
37:13Get it in that skillet.
37:14Wide pan.
37:15That's looking beautiful, my boy.
37:17That's what I'm talking about.
37:19It's glossy.
37:20Hers one's great, too.
37:21I mean, man.
37:23Check your chicken.
37:24Yeah.
37:25Oven, oven, oven.
37:26There you go, there you go.
37:27Looks good, looks good.
37:28Halfway through.
37:30Maria Emerson, halfway through.
37:31Love the tasting, Maria.
37:33I'm feeling good.
37:34I am leaning into the flavors of my heritage.
37:38Trust your instincts.
37:39You can come all the way out here to go home today.
37:40My game plan is just focus on flavor, flavor, flavor.
37:45Mmm!
37:45Yes!
37:46Yes!
37:47That's good!
37:49That's a lot, that's a lot.
37:50No more, no more sugar, no more sugar.
37:52What is going on?
37:54A knife, clean knife, clean knife.
37:55We got his back, but he looks so overwhelmed.
37:59Corn, corn!
37:59Emerson, your corn!
38:03Oh, my God!
38:04My dog is in trouble.
38:06What's up, Emerson?
38:07You're giving me nervous energy over here.
38:09Oh, my gosh.
38:09That's right.
38:10Ooh, hot.
38:11Okay, deep breaths.
38:15It is so important to get this mole right, or else I'm gone.
38:18I gotta look this way.
38:18I can't look right now.
38:29Breathe.
38:30Emerson, breathe.
38:31You got this.
38:32We got you.
38:32We got you.
38:33I'm feeling all the pressure, but I got my team behind me.
38:36Good job.
38:36Good job.
38:37Yeah, my wife and my kids know me as a fighter.
38:39I'm gonna...
38:40I don't know.
38:41It's up to you to do riblets, maybe.
38:43I ain't giving up.
38:44I owe it to them.
38:46All right, two minutes.
38:47You can play right now if you want.
38:48About two minutes left.
38:49Mole on top.
38:50Mole on top, Emerson.
38:51Yeah, coat it.
38:52Don't be shy with it.
38:53It's a mole challenge, right?
38:56Yes, girl.
38:57Boring kiss.
38:58Woo!
39:00It's looking beautiful.
39:01I like that.
39:03Ooh.
39:05Nice.
39:06Beautiful.
39:07Beautiful.
39:11What?
39:11Oh, no.
39:12No way.
39:14That's number two in two different ways.
39:16Do you like the way that looks?
39:17No.
39:17Okay.
39:18Do you need a new plate?
39:19Which one?
39:19The blue one.
39:20Okay, let's go.
39:20Blue, yes.
39:21I love it.
39:22Way to pivot.
39:23Oh, no.
39:24Okay, good, good, good, good, good.
39:25Good call.
39:27Gorgeous, gorgeous.
39:29You got this, girl.
39:31Yes!
39:31Yes!
39:32Five, four, three, two, one.
39:36Stop cooking.
39:38Hey!
39:39Hey!
39:40Hey!
39:45Aisha, Gordon.
39:46How was that?
39:46Oh, my gosh.
39:47You know how hard it is to make a mole?
39:48Yeah.
39:49And both competitors absolutely threw down.
39:51Okay, so first dish is a chicken leg with ancho and pasilla chile mole.
39:58Shall we?
40:03Could do with a touch more seasoning.
40:06Um, but overall it's good.
40:08Very good.
40:09Chicken's cooked beautifully, by the way.
40:10Who ever cooked that?
40:10Mm.
40:12Well, this mole for me, it's leaning a bit on the sweet side, which I love.
40:19The depth of flavor and the smokiness achieved is quite a feat.
40:24Next up, we have a seared pork line.
40:27And this is with a mulatto and chipotle mole sauce.
40:37That mole is nice.
40:38There's a lovely vibrancy, but a lot of spice in this one.
40:41If anything, it needs to be cooked to have more.
40:44Pork is a little bit overcooked.
40:46I gotta say, in 30 minutes, tons of depth of flavor.
40:50All right, two next-level moles, but we have to eliminate one.
40:54Gordon, I'm gonna start with you.
40:56Which dish will you be eliminating tonight?
41:01Poof, the dish I'm eliminating...
41:08I'm gonna eliminate the pork.
41:12Okay, Naisha, same question.
41:13Tough choice.
41:16The mole that I will be eliminating...
41:23...is...
41:25...the pork.
41:30That was cooked by Maria.
41:32Oh, my gosh.
41:34Damn.
41:35Damn, damn, damn.
41:36You know, the short time we got to know you, clearly talented.
41:40You've done yourself proud, your family proud, and I'm proud of you.
41:44It's been a pleasure being on your team.
41:46Likewise. I wish it was longer.
41:48Short time.
41:48I wish it was longer.
41:49Please say goodbye to your teammates and head the elevator.
41:54Good job, Maria.
41:56Damn.
41:57I cooked my heart out today, and I have no regrets.
42:05It's something I'll never forget.
42:08Emerson, get your timings right, okay?
42:11That platform, it waits for nobody.
42:14I'm still here.
42:16I ain't going nowhere.
42:21Get some rest, all of you.
42:23Because when we see you next time, the one thing that none of you can afford is a breakdown in
42:31communication.
42:32Thank you, Josh.
42:32That was a clue.
42:33That was a clue.
42:34Good night, guys.
42:35Clean that jacket.
42:36Send the tacos on the platform.
42:38Don't wear them.
42:40Next time on Next Level Chef.
42:42You're about to see some things I've never seen in my career.
42:46There are monsters on this platform.
42:49Oh, my God.
42:50I have trouble with proteins that still have their heads on them.
42:55He's moving like a samurai in there.
42:57Here we go, Team Blaze.
42:59Pipe down.
43:00Pipe down.
43:00Somebody's mad over there.
43:02Best dish of the day.
43:03We have three mentors, and my choice is the other dish.
43:06They're fighting back there.
43:07Is it going to be like this full season?
