00:04I
00:04I'm just about to open the doors. Are you ready? No chef
00:08At the start of the season the heat restaurant opens nice restaurant
00:12And a group of young chefs began the ultimate summer job. Come on. Let's do it
00:18Are you crying or what?
00:21They cook genuinely please. Yeah, whoa
00:27I
00:28Tell the waitresses five minutes. Are you having a look? I love this job. Stop cooking
00:32I am not going to embarrass myself anymore
00:37Competed you didn't have enough state and you also didn't have enough prawns. I had to cook more your team
00:42let you down
00:45I'm gonna miss you. Thank you. Yes
00:47And even coupled up don't look at me like that away. Come back to my apartment. Okay
00:53Temperatures rose in and out of the kitchen. You called a blonde that is completely out of order. Fax please
00:59pop. She hates me
01:00Put a lamb in the f***ing pack. Stop arguing with the patch please. I want silence
01:05But it's been a summer they'll never forget
01:08Let's drink
01:10Women of power. The girls in this competition are so strong. Well done guys. To the two finalists. You guys
01:18deserve this. Cheers
01:19Cheers
01:21Now just two chefs remain
01:23I am in the final
01:26And they've chosen their teams to take on the final service. Made the best chef man. For real
01:32George and Marta on team Jayon and on team Kat Amaya and Alex. You've got one
01:39Last service. Only one chef can triumph. You guys ready for this? Yeah
01:44Are you ready? Give me some love bro. Who will rise to the top? My star chef is
02:02It's the final morning in Barcelona and for Jayon and Kat this will be the most important service of their
02:09careers
02:09But before the pressure gets real the chefs are making the most of their last morning and time with the
02:16connections they've found
02:17Good morning. Hello
02:19I made this beer. Did you make me a coffee? I did indeed
02:22Push through
02:26Yes
02:26How does it feel? I feel it in my back
02:29Down with dog. You hate this one. But this is really good for your hamstring
02:33Oh my dude
02:34Helene is an amazing girl. She actually was the driving force to encourage me to do better, be better
02:39And people like her are people that we need to find in this life
02:42And yeah man, she's sweet man
02:45How are you feeling about being in the final?
02:47Quite overwhelmed to be fair
02:49Yeah, like I always came in with the intention to win, but to actually be a finalist is a bit
02:52crazy stuff
02:53The family were rooting for me and that
02:54And all the people
02:56Yeah, man
02:57I was raised by a mum and grandparents so they really paved the way for me in terms of how
03:01to behave
03:02I'm gonna make sure I do everyone proud back at home
03:05And myself for that matter more than anyone else
03:08I always felt like I always had to work three times harder than everyone else to try and get to
03:12the same like outcomes
03:13Pop's not been around as well. I feel like I've got to prove not only to him but as well
03:17myself and those that look up to me that
03:19Like I am someone that is worthy of being looked up to
03:22I think the competitive drive comes from
03:25Not having enough of everything that you've wanted or needed growing up, you know
03:29I am really determined to showcase not only who I am
03:31But more importantly to show that no matter where you come from anything is possible, you know
03:37I always saw Sheffin as a way out
03:38Could get out of all the nonsense from this
03:41As I said, I genuinely feel like I can win this thing
03:44Like I've got this far for a reason
03:45Yeah, you can and I believe that you will
03:48Thank you
03:48Can I have a cud
03:52I appreciate you
03:57Down the corridor, Jayon's competition cat is having a morning pep talk with George
04:03Can you believe it now? You've made it to the final
04:07Yeah, I can't believe it really
04:09Getting close to the enemy hair cat because George will be cooking on Jayon's team today
04:15Talent's been recognised
04:16Even though yesterday you were a bit like, hmm
04:19That was the worst day of my life yesterday
04:21I genuinely couldn't see one good thing that I did
04:25How?
04:26It just was, I don't know, I was probably really inside my head about it
04:29I do back myself and I back myself probably the most now than I ever have before
04:34But I still doubt that I am a good chef a lot of the time just because I get inside
04:40my own head
04:40We're against each other now
04:42Yeah, I know, that's so funny
04:44I'm all for Jay on me
04:45Yeah, I know
04:46Whatever the outcome is, you're both gonna put yourselves on the plate and I know you're both very talented
04:53I never expected to have anything like this with a person like Kat
04:57She's so unbelievable
04:58We've got a lot of plans, gonna see each other a lot, really can't wait
05:02Well today's the day, it's your day or Jayon's day
05:05I'm glad I'm competing against him because I think he's just a fabulous, fabulous chef
05:10And I think so highly of him
05:12Jayon as a competitor was probably the strongest competitor I could have
05:15We're very similar in the way that we work, we're very clean, efficient, fast
05:19It's a shame that he's gonna lose, but I just, you know, there's always next year
05:25I'm gonna go get ready
05:26Are you gonna give me a hug?
05:28Yes
05:35What are your thoughts on the final?
05:36I think it's good, yeah
05:38Yeah
05:39Good team?
05:40Good team
05:41I think it's a great team
05:42Yeah, but you can't flirt with me in the kitchen
05:43No?
05:44No
05:44Really?
05:45We have to really concentrate
05:46I think Alex and I, it will probably be a bit weird not being around each other
05:50But we both are in London
05:52I live with my sister, so I think he'll be meeting her
05:55But I think we'll hold off on parents just for a bit
05:58I don't want to scare him away too quickly
06:01Should we go for a cat?
06:08Barcelona's charm has definitely rubbed off on this lot
06:11But they've got to stay focused
06:13There's still a star chef to be crowned
06:17This is now the finale
06:19Yeah
06:19I'm so looking forward to it
06:21I'm so blessed to have you guys as my team
06:23You know, I've got an amazing pastry chef
06:25And I've got my best partner in crime
06:27Yes, chef
06:28It's like Batman and Robin out here
06:29Trust me
06:30This is the equivalent of the World Cup final
06:33I'm giving it my all
06:35And my leader is gonna win
06:37We have to do it well for you
06:39Like, you've put your trust in me to get you to win
06:42Mm-hmm
06:43And that's such an honour
06:44And that is pressure
06:46Mm-hmm
06:47Marta, how much has she grown in this process?
06:49You know, an amazing human being
06:51That has not only shown that she's capable
06:54But she's had to do things on her own for so long
06:56But she's never gonna be alone
06:57Ever again
06:58Remember that?
06:59Come on, bro
07:01That's my guy that, bro
07:02Come on, bro
07:04Every time
07:05Ah, George, George, George
07:06He's overcome every single obstacle
07:09That's been thrown at him
07:11What an amazing human being
07:12And he's also taught me to really just smile
07:14In the face of adversity
07:15An amazing person
07:17I love yous
07:18I have so much faith in yous
07:19We're gonna absolutely smash it
07:21Blitz the competition in one go
07:23Yeah
07:23Yeah, we're gonna be like
07:24Hurricane Jay on, yeah?
07:26Get me?
07:35Yeah
07:35How are you guys feeling about it?
07:37I feel like we're gonna smash this
07:40So I think if we did a really strong set-up
07:43Yeah
07:43Making sure that you have the right spoon in every container
07:46Yeah
07:46I'm really motivated to do Cass really proud
07:49I think she absolutely deserves the world
07:51And myself and Maya will do everything we can
07:53To make sure that she wins
07:54You're very, very strong at your mates
07:56Which is perfect
07:57And then you are really, really strong at your starters
08:00So I'm really excited to trust you guys with this
08:03Because I think you're gonna ace it
08:05Like, I couldn't have asked for a better team
08:07Both Alex and Maya have been very pumped for today
08:09I think that they're gonna work great in the kitchen together
08:12I was so excited
08:13Yeah
08:13Last day, I feel like it's the last push
08:15Maya is one of my closest girls in here
08:18I instantly connected with her
08:19And then Alex is just an absolute G
08:21He's got this kind of swagger to him
08:23Which is kind of cool
08:24I'm feeling very grateful
08:25That I've managed to create these bonds with people
08:28And gain so much confidence in the kitchen
08:31It's crazy to think that we're not gonna be back in that kitchen
08:33Yeah
08:34Yeah
08:37But guess who is back?
08:39And it sounds like I'm just in time
08:41Olivia!
08:43How are you?
08:44How's it been?
08:45It's been absolutely fantastic
08:47I've got to say, it's been a journey
08:49Watching them growing
08:50Their passion, commitment
08:53Really trying
08:55So very, very positive kids
08:57And at low points, service was shut down
09:01That's it!
09:02No more cooking!
09:04Get out of this kitchen
09:05I am not going to embarrass myself anymore
09:08And also in one point, we had to evacuate the restaurant
09:12Everyone, I need you to exit the building
09:15Switch off everything, get out from that kitchen
09:18I don't want to see or hear any one of you anymore
09:21So basically, it's been hell and it's been paradise in the same time
09:26Okay, you have two amazing finalists
09:28Yeah
09:29What are you looking for in the Starship?
09:31I would like the Starship to be showing that when you push yourself to the extremes
09:35You know, you can only have some great results
09:38And it's going to be tough, of course
09:40Yeah, it's going to be a fight
09:41I can see that
09:41The biggest battle ever in Barcelona
09:43I'm glad I'm back for it
09:45Yeah, enjoy
09:45I'm glad to see you back actually
09:47Thank you!
09:48I've been missing you
09:48JC, can I call you that now?
09:51No
09:51I thought for the final
10:01My motivation and everything it's took to get here
10:04It won't allow me to lose
10:08I absolutely love Jill
10:10And I wish him the world
10:12But this is my time to show that I do deserve this
10:17I'm going to smash it
10:20Hi
10:22Nice to see you guys
10:24How are you?
10:25Good
10:25Thank you
10:26Are you okay?
10:27So how's summer been?
10:29Chaos
10:29Have you enjoyed the chaos?
10:31Yeah
10:31Yeah
10:32We live for that
10:33Yeah, that's true
10:35I wouldn't miss this for the world
10:37So today, it is the big day
10:41Kat and Jeon, you've got one last service to convince me
10:51You've each designed your own three course menu for this service
10:55Talk to us through your starters
10:58So my starter today will be to start them with cherry hoisin duck
11:05Ooh
11:05Topped with carrots and mule slosh
11:08Wow
11:09My starter is a pan seared king scallop with beetroot gel, apple puree, roast celeriac fondant, toasted hazelnuts and a
11:19parsley oil
11:20Ooh
11:20Wow
11:22My main takes it back to how I grew up
11:25It's going to be called the simmer down curry
11:28Essentially, it is a curry chicken with aromatic rice and mini fried dumplings
11:34My main is kind of inspired by what I love with cooking, Asian fusion
11:40So I'm doing a satay chicken supreme, sweet chili garlic noodles, stir fried veg and some toasted peanuts, pickled chilies,
11:50pickled chilots
11:51Both very interesting already
11:54Now, Jeon, tell us about your dessert
11:56This one takes it back to my own childhood
11:59I'm not afraid or ashamed of how I grew up
12:02And I feel like I have to take inspiration from that
12:04It's going to be a corn flake tart with plantain jam paired with a cream liqueur-infused custard
12:10Called the J's FSM Tart
12:12FSM stands for Free School Meals
12:15Wow
12:16I tell you what, I can't wait
12:18Thank you
12:19Superb interesting
12:21Incredible
12:22My menu is definitely something that presents me in the best light possible
12:26It shows me in my childhood, my culture and also all the experience I've gained along the way in the
12:32chefing career
12:32What I'm going to be doing is a banana split with caramelised brown sugar and cinnamon, crème fraîche whip, pecan
12:40brittle, brown butter biscuit crumb, maple caramel shards
12:44And a banana caramel
12:46Wow, that's a lot too
12:47Amazing
12:48Yeah, there's a lot of components
12:49Very interesting menu
12:50I want to be able to put my own twisters on food and be able to kind of show my
12:55kind of flavour profile and my palette a little bit with the food I'm making
12:58You have two hours prep and two hours service
13:03I want to see how you will be leading your team
13:08The execution of your dishes and of course, how is going to go down with the diners
13:15Are you ready?
13:17Yes, chef
13:17Are you ready?
13:18Yes, chef
13:19You can start now
13:21Good luck
13:22Good luck
13:25I think Jayon's menu is full of flavour
13:29He's so spicy, he's so extravagant
13:32His menu is a true reflection of himself and I really respect him for that
13:36Thank you
13:38Kat's menu sounds really technical, but I feel like Alex and I have got this
13:42Can't be that hard, right?
13:47My star chef is about skill and strength of character
13:52You guys ready for this?
13:53Yeah
13:54So ready
13:54Yeah, I'm excited for you guys to do this
13:56And of course team work
13:58I am looking for the full package
14:03I'm gonna start on getting mains working so the rice is gonna be putting straight away
14:06And then I'm gonna get on with the curry
14:08Yep
14:08I mean you can work together on the starters
14:10And obviously in the whole meantime, Marta, you'll be trusted in the back
14:14I'm in the back
14:15I've not really got experience with making the chicken curry
14:17Looking forward to giving it a go
14:19And with Jayon's advice, I'm sure I can execute it
14:21You got this
14:23We're gonna be so good
14:24Thank you
14:24You're gonna win, you're gonna win
14:26Give me some
14:27Give me some love, bro
14:28Every time
14:29We've got this
14:40To the sun
14:41Now you know that the time has come
14:44And they said it would never come for you
14:47It's the final day
14:48The final service
14:50And no second chances for Kat and Jayon
14:53Who are battling it out to be crowned Jean Christophe's star chef
14:58On Kat's team, Alex and Maya are helping to create a Scottish-Asian inspired menu
15:03It's gonna be like dots like that
15:04Add a little bit of water, but not too much
15:06While Marta and George are helping to produce Jayon's menu of home comforts
15:12Yo, brother man, no, no, no, no, no, no
15:13Put them back wherever you found them
15:15Yeah, yeah
15:16So all your seasons are here
15:18Just stealing people's stuff
15:19Oh, no
15:23Do you have any opinions on who you think's gonna win?
15:25I think it's a pretty even fight
15:27I agree, actually
15:28Yeah
15:29Can it just be a tie?
15:30I would just say everyone wins
15:31I don't think Jean Christophe is giving tie
15:33No
15:35Jayon and Kat both desperately want this title of star chef and I don't blame them
15:39What they've put themselves through to get here is insane
15:42I mean between the kitchen nearly burning down and us all at each other's throats over tapas
15:47I don't think we'd get her
15:51How you feeling working with Maya and Alex?
15:54Good
15:54I know that they've got really good communication obviously
15:57Because they are in love
16:00Alex, you know we were talking about little pans?
16:02Yeah
16:02Do you want one?
16:03I don't think I need one for anything
16:04What?
16:05You really want to use it?
16:06So if you want it
16:07Okay, thanks
16:08You really manifested that pan?
16:09I know
16:10Where'd it come from?
16:10Kat's menu sounds really technical
16:12I'm not really big on like Asian fusion cooking
16:16I usually do very simple dishes
16:18With prep in full swing
16:20Trouble is already brewing as team Kat are struggling to get their heads around her complex menu
16:26Should I try without it hot first or?
16:29To really get that infusion
16:31I would keep the oil to like 75
16:33I don't really know how they're gonna come out on the plate yet
16:36So yeah, it's all very very different to me
16:38Kat do I need to strain it or just straight in?
16:41Straight in, obviously
16:42I need you right now
16:44This isn't blitzing
16:45Should we water it down a little bit?
16:46The sausage was the major concern for me
16:48Because at least I know if the sauces are super flavorful
16:51And like boom, boom, boom
16:52You don't need to worry about flavor
16:54Because you've already enhanced that flavor
16:55Yeah
16:55Amazing
16:56I'm actually very happy to be cooking Kat's menu
16:58But I haven't cooked with lots of the flavors that she's going with
17:02Hey Kat, do you want to give me some direction here?
17:04Yeah
17:04It is pressure
17:05I really just want to do well for her
17:08Can we bulk it a bit more?
17:09I'll see if we can get more coconut milk
17:11Yeah
17:11And add a bit more of everything
17:13I'm very very specific with how I want things done
17:16And like how it looks with textures and colors
17:19Add some more peanut butter
17:20Yeah
17:20I'm gonna find you some more coconut milk
17:22I've got full faith in my team that we're gonna push this forward
17:24If we just keep a level head
17:29And over on team Jayon, they're not having an easy ride either
17:33Do you think this is too crumbly?
17:35It might need some more water to hydrate it
17:37Well, I've just done that
17:38I trust my skills in pastry
17:40But that's a whole dish that's on my name
17:43And I need to make sure that it's perfect
17:46That pot of rice is boiling, no?
17:49Not bad, chef
17:49Forgot about that
17:50Let's move a bit more assertive with that, yeah?
17:53I am quite nervous actually
17:54Because there's many fine margins that separate this
17:57Bro, they're way too far
17:58We need them just a light golden brown
17:59Put them in a bin, please
18:00My strategy today was essentially
18:03To utilize my team members to their strengths
18:06And cover their weaknesses
18:08So fingers crossed
18:09We come out on top
18:10That's for the duck
18:11Let's get a probe
18:12And don't check that please, bro
18:14I love the way you're on the board
18:15Even so, we're talking together
18:17And you still have your
18:18You've changed
18:19Thank you, sir
18:20You've changed
18:20That's a good sign of being a leader
18:23A leader
18:24This is our scallops set up
18:26Yes
18:26So I've got oil, lemon juice, butter
18:29Your timer's gonna go on this 19 and your salt
18:31Yeah
18:31We'll do them here on a nice non-stick pan
18:33Yeah
18:33If something doesn't go perfect
18:35Then I will just completely annihilate myself for it
18:37If someone, like, completely slated it
18:40Then it would just break my heart
18:41Because I know I've put everything into it
18:43Salt them when your pan is hot, fry
18:45And then onto this one to catch the juice
18:48Don't let these layer over as well, yeah?
18:50Timer!
18:50Anyone who's lit
18:51You don't want
18:52Jay, that's your 17-minute timer going off, yeah?
18:54You can still use them
18:55You can still use them
18:57Alex, did my timer go off?
18:59Sorry?
19:00Yes, yeah, yeah
19:00So why didn't you tell me, bro?
19:01I did tell you, sir
19:02Did you?
19:02Yes, I did, so you sure?
19:04100%
19:04Did I respond?
19:0517 minutes
19:08We've got a very bad habit in this kitchen
19:10Of having timers and just switching them off
19:13Because we hear them
19:13Alex said he told me, knowing full well, that he didn't
19:18Well, I was too switched on to be sabotaged
19:20Do you want to check if the solariac is fit?
19:23Yeah
19:23Thank you
19:28How's it looking?
19:30Not ready
19:31I keep checking on the solariac
19:33Because it was really stressing me out
19:34How much longer do you think it needs?
19:36I don't know, right?
19:37I'm gonna...
19:38It would just be a little bit firm there
19:39And when that timer goes off, I'll put it out
19:41Yeah
19:42There's a lot riding on this
19:44Guys, only 10-minute clip
19:45Let's go
19:46Come on
19:49Motto
19:51Fat boy, that
19:52I ain't gonna lie, bro
19:57Kat, this solariac's still a bit firm
19:59Um, solariac's the only thing I'm concerned about
20:02We're getting to crunch time, right?
20:04Yeah, we are
20:04Can you just check the tarts in the oven?
20:06I've taken them off blind bait
20:08They're a bit, um, rustic
20:10I'm not gonna lie
20:11Once you put the cornflakes on tarts
20:13Obviously, it'll cover the...
20:15Whatever you feel that may be rustic
20:16Yeah
20:17See what I'm saying?
20:18Yeah
20:18We should be fine
20:19Bax, hot pan with hot oil
20:22That will change your life
20:23If they're done, it's all yours
20:25Yeah?
20:26Get longer
20:28Ours is on steam roast
20:29Can I still give you like 10 minutes on this?
20:31The heat is definitely being turned all the way up
20:34Everybody can crack under pressure
20:36I just really hope that I don't
20:39Um, I'd give your solariac's maybe like 10 more minutes
20:41Fab
20:43Hello
20:44Hello
20:45Welcome
20:46The diners can choose dishes from both finalists
20:49We've got a really exciting menu today because the chefs have curated their own menus
20:55It's then down to Kat and Jayon to execute the orders and coordinate with each other to deliver to the
21:01tables on time
21:02This is the last service, yeah? Let's give everything we've got, yeah?
21:05Good chef
21:06Amazing
21:07Yeah, that's my man
21:08Definitely
21:08Hey, you've bumped, I can see that
21:10When it's all over, John Kristoff will decide who will be crowned his star chef
21:16Kat, best of luck, but just know when it's my time, it's my time
21:21Come on then, what's the goss? What's been going on?
21:24Um, yeah, so head chef Jay and I have been getting along
21:29Oh
21:30Is it sexy seeing him, like, at work bossing the kitchen?
21:34Maybe a little bit
21:36You're the only one to get that out of her, girl
21:39Olivia, like, from your sleep
21:40Has he cooked for you yet?
21:43He has, actually
21:45Three mornings in a row
21:47Breakfast
21:50Sleepover
21:51He knows exactly how I like my eggs, like, tiny little bit boiled
21:54He knows what?
21:55Exactly
21:57Careful, careful
21:58Do I have a boyfriend?
21:59Maybe
22:00Definitely
22:00It's good to cut Alex
22:02He got sent home after three days
22:05He was lovely and I can't wait to see him when I get back
22:07Oh my God, are you actually giving me up?
22:09For sure
22:10That's so cute
22:11I didn't know that you could, like, connect with someone that quickly
22:15I think I always love bombing her
22:17So there's been, there's been quite a lot
22:19There's been a lot of heat
22:20I'm obsessed
22:22Okay, enough of the goss
22:23Yes
22:24We've got a winner to find
22:26The service start now
22:28Table seven
22:29Two scallops
22:30And two ducks
22:31Yes, chef
22:32Two curries
22:33Two chickens
22:34Two pie
22:35And two FSM
22:37Yes, chef
22:38Yes, chef
22:53Nice vinegar
22:54Fish sauce
22:55Oh, well done
22:56Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
22:57Don't put those dressings in there yet
22:58Yeah?
22:59Oh, yeah
22:59I'm gonna make the dressing separate
23:01You're making the dressing separate?
23:02Yeah, and then we're gonna do it to order, yeah?
23:04I don't want to gain golf
23:05Tell them what you need to
23:05What we want to do
23:06Just leave that fresh in the water
23:07Leave this, leave this
23:08And then you're gonna dress it to order
23:09Yes, that's fine
23:09Cool
23:10Less than one minute for the first starter to go, please
23:13Yes, chef
23:23Yes, chef
23:23So, so far, it's neck to neck
23:26Yes, chef
23:28Wow
23:29This is cat tartare
23:32Scallops
23:33Apple
23:33Beef food
23:34Table six
23:35Everything that we've put on the pass today
23:38Was completely out of my brain
23:39Like, 100%
23:41I'm so unbelievably proud
23:45Right, this is Jeon
23:47Wow
23:47Look at that
23:48It's a lot of work
23:49It's a lot of work
23:52And you're quick, I like that
23:53This is, this is fabulous
23:55Everything came out beautiful
23:57Erm, and yeah, I'm just so grateful for how things turned out
24:00Look at that
24:01It looks delicious
24:01So cute
24:02Oh wow, nice
24:03We've got two of the scallops
24:04I just wanted to come and check how first bites were going
24:07Really nice
24:08Yeah
24:09Really good
24:10Have a try now
24:12Help yourself
24:13So that's from Kat
24:17Ooh
24:18Oh my god, that's unreal
24:20It is, huh?
24:20You know, to get the vivacity of the colours
24:24Yeah, I know
24:25The beetroot
24:26The apple
24:27The scallops are nice and sweet
24:28Very well cooked
24:29Ten out of ten?
24:30I mean, it's very close to ten, yeah
24:31Okay
24:32Very close
24:32Yeah
24:33Now this one is Jeon
24:35Asian tostada
24:36So the duck, look at that
24:38I'm looking
24:38It's juicy
24:40The meat has been cooked
24:41What do you think about the presentation?
24:43I think
24:44They're both very different dishes
24:46And I respect that
24:47Yeah
24:48And this is what I like
24:48Is the contrast
24:51Oh, la, la, la, la
24:54For me, it's an absolutely
24:56It's a winner
24:57Really?
24:58They're both winners, by the way
24:59But that one you think's a little bit got the edge
25:00It is everything that I expect
25:02So it's going to be a tight competition then?
25:04That's right
25:04Oh, yes
25:07Right, I am ready on them two scallops
25:10Oh my god, I forgot to put the fondant on
25:15There was a hiccup with the starter
25:17I forgot to put the fondant on
25:19It was right beside me as well
25:20But then I was like
25:21I've already missed it on two tables
25:23I don't even want to start putting it on
25:25Can I ask you something?
25:27Yes
25:27Did you think you've missed something?
25:29Yes, the celeriac chef was like
25:30Where is the fondant?
25:32And I was like, fuck
25:33I completely forgot to put that on the plate
25:38I'm really sorry chef
25:40You kept that very clear
25:41Yes, I only really realized when we just put it down
26:03All right
26:03I need to stop her as quick as possible
26:06Yes, chef
26:07Service is in full swing at the heat restaurant
26:10As Jayon and Kat battle it out
26:12To become Jean-Christophe's star chef
26:14It's a bit too slow for me
26:16It's the final
26:17And they can't afford for anything to go wrong
26:19In their last ever service
26:21Is there anybody up there?
26:23I'm here like a woody on the pass by myself
26:25Come on
26:26But unfortunately for Kat
26:28Jaycee's just discovered
26:29She's forgotten her celeriac fondant
26:32I hate it when that happens
26:34Don't bring me down
26:36Did you think you've missed something?
26:38Yes, the celeriac
26:39I completely forgot to put that on the plate
26:41Did you bin it?
26:43Yeah
26:44I'm really sorry about that chef
26:45I don't have it anymore
26:47Now being binned
26:48So I am really sorry about that
26:50It was really hard today
26:51To try to keep my mouth closed to Kat
26:54Because I really wanted to encourage her
26:55I really wanted to hug her
26:56Give her a high five
26:57And compliment her dishes
26:58But I just couldn't
27:00Kat missed one little ingredient on her plate
27:03Kat wasn't able to get one of her garnishes out
27:06So on that note
27:07We gained her flavour
27:08And we gave her efficiency
27:09We need to make sure we don't miss anything
27:11Yes, sorry
27:11I'm really sorry about that chef
27:13I feel like I was really organised
27:15I had everything done efficiently
27:18But I'm feeling really frustrated
27:20And just really deflated
27:24Just keep going
27:25Thank you, chef
27:27With the pressure on
27:28Kat's not the only one
27:29Forgetting the finishing touches
27:31I've just cut it all up now, anyway
27:33Bax
27:34Are you sure you don't want me to do all of it?
27:36Did you use all the plantains?
27:37Yeah, yeah
27:39How am I going to slice the plantains for the thingy
27:42Oh, fuck
27:42You should have abandoned me
27:44I thought that Jayon would have plantain on his section to garnish
27:48We can't use it for garnish
27:49We can't
27:49Let's not think about it too deep, yeah?
27:51It's totally my fault
27:52I just completely forgot to leave one plantain for the garnish
27:56I just had no idea that that was the whole plantain in the whole of Barcelona
28:02Table 11
28:03Yes, chef
28:04I need a stutter
28:05Come on, I'm going to look like a white brat
28:07Mine can be ready right now, sir
28:09How long?
28:09I need two minutes, chef
28:10Come on, Maya, please
28:12To get to this point has been difficult
28:13But no one has felt tension like this
28:17Come on, scallop
28:18Come on, please
28:20That's very good, Maya
28:21The scallops are cooked perfectly
28:23Thank you, chef
28:24They smell lovely, by the way
28:26That's her first time kicking scallop, chef
28:29Everyone's formed such deep relationships that it translates to the kitchen
28:33Nobody wants to let anybody down in that kitchen today, I'm telling you that now
28:36Okay, guys, I need some action there
28:39How's your chicken?
28:40Is your chicken in the oven?
28:41Yeah, is it being flat?
28:42Nice
28:42Got more people coming, yeah?
28:44Yes, chef
28:45Come on, I need some more food
28:46The mains rush is starting
28:48And with two head chefs operating in tandem today
28:51Jayon and Kat have to synchronize their dishes leaving the pass
28:55I felt like I was very strategic so that everything was almost done
28:58The stew's in the pot, you know, the rice is staying warm
29:01And so it was ready for when it was called away
29:04Tell me how long for your main course
29:05How long do you guys need on the next two mains?
29:08Give us two minutes, count
29:09And we'll come out together, yeah?
29:10No worries
29:11The pressure is definitely on today
29:12And it is scary
29:14Jayon's curry was much easier to serve than my stir fry
29:17So the timings were a little bit of an issue in between that
29:20Are you done with this one?
29:21Not just yet, chef
29:22So Jayon is first
29:25It's a super colourful, by the way
29:27Thank you, chef
29:27We had a little bit of an edge speed-wise and efficiency-wise
29:30I helped Jayon push out the plates faster than the other team
29:33You know, not all heroes wear capes
29:35Some of them wear beige aprons and have tattoos everywhere
29:39We've got mains, where's the curry going?
29:42And we've got a chicken satay
29:44We've got the curry here
29:46Come on, guys
29:4730 minutes left
29:48Let's go
29:51Hello
29:52Hello
29:53Excuse me, guys, I'm busy with my friend
29:55Right, who do you want to try first?
29:56We've got Jayon's lovely chicken curry with his lovely dumpling
30:02So what do you think?
30:04I like that
30:05It's really spicy, but I think it's really good
30:07In fact, the dominance of the chilli was its point, actually
30:11Wow, I love the smell, by the way
30:13And then we've got this wonderful satay infusion
30:16Which is quite a genius, I've got to say
30:18Yeah
30:19I think it's lovely
30:20That's spicy
30:21Yeah, well, the combination of the fondement
30:24Yeah
30:25There's character
30:26And you can see clearly, she's a girl with character
30:29I think it's good, I like it
30:33There is really nice flavor, I actually quite like this curry
30:36Oh damn, it definitely doesn't need the scotch colour
30:39English person
30:42Yeah
30:42Person of Caribbean heritage
30:44How's it going so far with the mains?
30:47Mixed feelings
30:48Mixed feelings
30:49Yeah
30:49This is the one we prefer, right?
30:50What is not up to par with the curry?
30:53It's got the flavor, it's just not as exciting as this one
30:56Where every bite you've got like something different
30:59It's a bit sweet, it's a bit spicy
31:01Are we enjoying everything overall?
31:03Yes
31:03For me this has been the most, I think, complete flavor profile so far
31:07That's nice
31:08Obviously don't eat the scotch bonnet, especially you
31:10Just pretend that doesn't exist
31:13Two curry, two chickens, two pies
31:17One sec, where's the other one? One more
31:19You've got everything there, I was gonna say
31:21Yes chef
31:22Dumplings
31:22Dumplings
31:23Oh la la
31:25Jeon
31:26You're gonna forget the dumplings
31:27I could never forget the dumplings
31:28How the hell can you do that?
31:30It's like shooting your own foot
31:31Yes chef
31:32Yeah
31:33Okay, so for dessert
31:34We have chef Kat's banoffee pie
31:36And chef Jeon's FSM tart
31:38Which stands for free school meals
31:40He grew up eating free school meals
31:41And he's basically created a dessert that has elements of that
31:47But is also...
31:49God, I'm actually gonna get emotional
31:50That was so lovely though
31:54We just hope that you guys enjoy it
31:55Both of them have put their heart and soul into this menu
31:57Sounds pretty meaningful
31:58Yeah
31:59It is very meaningful
32:02JC, is it dessert time?
32:04Welcome to the dessert
32:05I never have dessert
32:07Have a try
32:07I'm normally so drunk, I have to get put in a taxi
32:09Is this something I need to know or...
32:12So let me introduce you to Jeon
32:15Okay
32:16So you got a lovely cinnamon crème anglaise
32:19I absolutely adore that sauce
32:21You got a lovely bite in a planté
32:23Which really support the little legs
32:26Look at that
32:27No, I like it
32:28Oh
32:29It's a delight
32:31Nice
32:32Now we're trying Kat's
32:33So we have Kat
32:34So you got this little caramelised charmed banana
32:39With this lovely toffee
32:41So how do you think these two compare?
32:44Which one's stronger?
32:46Uncompatible
32:46Really?
32:47We're both in a different planet
32:48You're going to have a very difficult decision to make later
32:54My God
32:55What did I find?
32:57I've got a nervous decision
32:58It is unbelievable
32:59Both of you, I've got to say
33:01Are unbelievable
33:04Thank you chef
33:05Thank you chef
33:05Very good guys, well done
33:07Thank you
33:10Attention, attention
33:1115 minutes remaining
33:14Yes chef
33:15Do all I want
33:16Cause I get it
33:17If I don't
33:17Because I wanna
33:18Come on
33:20I need some dessert
33:22Be ignored
33:23By the sniff
33:24And the bored
33:24Because I'm gonna
33:26You waiting for the bus?
33:27Come on, just help this
33:28I need some dessert
33:29Now, come on
33:30Say I've told you so
33:31All right
33:35Where's the planté?
33:36You said you would have some
33:37It's right here
33:38Okay, but you said you would have it glazed on the top
33:40The problem was is that we actually needed the plantain for the compote chef, so we didn't have enough for
33:45decoration chef
33:50So there is no caramelized plantain on the top like you said?
33:54On top chef now
33:55Like why me?
33:56You know like you couldn't even made that up like really why me?
34:02Unfortunately we just not have enough plantain to shave off to put in the fryer chef, that was simply it
34:06We had to use enough for the compote
34:09I want to prove that I am capable
34:11I want to prove that I am worthy of winning
34:14And being the best
34:16Has it been used quite please?
34:18Yes chef
34:18Right, okay, let's go
34:19It's slowing down
34:21It worry me
34:24Remember, we're competing for the final right now
34:29I am going to jump in a plus three and do it on my own
34:32That's pretty good
34:33That's pretty good
34:34The plantain is really nice
34:40Okay guys, service finished
34:42This is the last dessert of the service
34:46Yes chef
34:46Of this grand final of the heat
34:49So, congratulations

35:11Amazing girl
35:13You do so well
35:14Proud of you
35:15I am buzzing after that service
35:18That was probably one of the best services I've ever had in my whole life
35:22That's our last service
35:23Sweet
35:24Sweet
35:24I am amped
35:26And I'm so proud of my team, man
35:28New athletes for this job
35:31It's so surreal knowing that this is the last day
35:34I'm going to miss these guys so much
35:37Why couldn't every day have been like that?
35:39I know
35:39That was so much nicer
35:40Oh
35:42They've been some ups and downs over the last couple of days
35:45It's really, really nice to end on a high
35:46And Kat was just an incredible leader today
35:49Mate
35:50Started together, finished together
35:51I'm so proud of you
35:53I'm so proud of you
35:54Kat said she was really proud of us
35:56And yeah, I'm proud of us too
35:58Because if I had let her down
36:00I would have been absolutely gutted
36:01I told you
36:02We pushed till the end for you
36:04I did
36:05Maybe my 100%
36:07You did the absolute madness there, bro
36:09I feel fucking amazing
36:11That was beautiful
36:12The way I wanted it to end
36:14We've come full circle
36:15And proud of everyone
36:27This is it
36:29The time has come for Jean Christophe's final debrief
36:32Who's done enough to take the title of star chef?
36:39Hi
36:42You're right
36:43Firstly, well done to our two finalists
36:47Kat and Joan
36:49And the team
36:51Guys, how are you feeling?
36:54Proud, overwhelmed
36:56Big day
36:57Very big
36:58Big summer
36:59It's been very, very intense
37:01A lot of confidence has been gained in this kitchen
37:03And I'm very proud that I'm standing here today still
37:07I never thought I would get this far
37:09And it means a lot to me
37:12I'm very happy with my performance
37:13I feel like I've been so consistent throughout this whole experience
37:16And I just hope she recognizes that
37:18Similar to Kat
37:20I've learned so much about myself in this time
37:23It's been extremely educational
37:25But more than anything
37:26I'm just filled with gratitude to be here
37:27All the hard work leading up to now
37:29I think it's eye open to that
37:30I can definitely do it
37:32And for me that is a big accomplishment in itself
37:34I'm definitely in it to win it
37:35So
37:36May the best man win in terms of perseverance and courage, you know?
37:41Both of you
37:41You have genuinely excelled
37:44Under so much pressure
37:49Okay, so let's get into this
37:54How do you think Kat's service went?
37:59I think I was quite impressed with the presentation
38:02I think also your flavors were amazing
38:06I think the menu was very well combined
38:08And also I think I should point out that Kat
38:11Stood at the past like a pro chef
38:14But
38:15It was some issues
38:17And the Celeriac was
38:20The most dominant one for me
38:24We'll move on to Jayon now
38:26How do you think his service went?
38:29I think Jayon is very confident
38:32There's no doubt
38:33Jayon was more about to express
38:36Wasn't trying to impress
38:38So it was a lot more rustic
38:40More
38:41More personal cooking
38:43Very interesting combination
38:44I really
38:45I was quite mesmerized with this food background
38:48But
38:49We had some issues
38:51Okay
38:51The planté
38:53I think the planté was for me
38:55The dominant part of the dish
38:57And I was
38:58The one I was looking for the most by the way
39:00And
39:01And I missed that effect
39:03But then again
39:04The plant like Kat
39:05In all
39:06Magnificent
39:08An extraordinary achievement
39:10It is decision time
39:12Who will be
39:14Jon Kristoff's star chef?
39:16Jayon
39:17Or Kat?
39:22Honestly I'm so proud of you two
39:29You two today were outstanding
39:31So I am torn
39:33How am I going to come to a decision?
39:41Jayon
39:42From the very start
39:43You've shown
39:45Warmth
39:46Charisma
39:48Confidence
39:49This star
39:50Kat
39:52Your drive
39:53And determination
39:54Is so impressive
39:56And you are a team player
39:58Which is very important for me
39:59Whew
40:03It is
40:05Such
40:06A close call
40:11My star chef
40:14Is
40:15My star chef
40:26After a season in Barcelona
40:28Fighting to become JC's star chef
40:31It all comes down to this
40:33Who will it be?
40:35Jayon
40:36Or Kat
40:37Once again I would like to emphasize that
40:39I am super impressed by the two of you
40:44My star chef
40:45Is
41:04You are the winner
41:05You are the winner
41:23I am
41:24This is
41:24A close call
41:27Hello
41:28Hello
41:30Hi mum
41:31Hi mum
41:31Guess what
41:32What
41:34What
41:34I am a star chef
41:35I won
41:36Teacher
41:37I will
41:38Oh my god
41:41Oh my god
41:42Oh my god
41:44I am so pleased
41:45That's amazing.
41:47I can't believe it.
41:52Congratulations, Kat.
41:55I gave it my all.
41:57I pushed my boundaries beyond my limits.
42:00I felt like I got the acknowledgement, the respect.
42:03I'm more than just a chef. I'm a leader.
42:05And I think I got a lot of clarity in that.
42:07Kat, can you even put into words how you feel right now?
42:13I... English.
42:16I just can't believe it, really.
42:18It's this very pinch-me moment, honestly.
42:20This is absolutely crazy.
42:22I've always thought in the past that, like,
42:25I've not worked hard enough or I've not good enough,
42:28and this has really proved to me that I am.
42:31I've learnt so much from you.
42:33I'm very, very grateful for you being my mentor.
42:36And I... I'm just...
42:38I'm feeling very grateful.
42:41Jayon, obviously, probably not the outcome you wanted,
42:43but you've made it always the final.
42:47You've been incredible since day one.
42:49How do you feel right now?
42:51Uh, a bit disheartened, yes.
42:54But having someone, like, Kat beside me,
42:57she's such a strong partner to have had next to me.
42:59I'm grateful to have shared that platform on the past with you.
43:03I still feel like a winner, you know?
43:05At the end of the day, like,
43:06coming from where I've come from
43:07and being able to have these type of opportunities
43:09is something that happens very rarely.
43:11The outcome isn't what I expected it to be,
43:13but I feel like the fruits of my labour
43:16have still led to something greater.
43:18This ain't the end, is it?
43:19It's only the beginning, eh?
43:21So, Kat...
43:25A little symbol for me
43:27to commemorate you to be my star chef.
43:32No!
43:35Don't cry on the front of me, please.
43:37You're going to make me cry.
43:38Please don't do that.
43:41And make sure you keep all your fingers.
43:45Holy shit.
43:47That's beautiful.
43:47You like it?
43:48I love it.
43:49Beautiful, isn't it?
43:50I just bought a knife.
43:51I wish I can return it.
43:55Who wants some champagne?
43:57Yeah!
43:58It's a bit!
43:59Yeah!
44:00It's a bit to all of you!
44:02You play my life, you hit the target.
44:07I don't know what I'm going to do with my life after this.
44:10It's been probably one of the most incredible experiences I've ever had.
44:14Wakey, wakey.
44:15Time to go to school.
44:18I'm going to build a castle.
44:22From a rebel of your love.
44:24From a rebel of your love.
44:27I'm going to be...
44:28I am proud of doing this.
44:30I'm glad I've done it.
44:31I've learned so much.
44:33You never thought I was...
44:34This has been an absolutely experience of a lifetime, man.
44:37I wouldn't have traded it for the world.
44:44You never thought I was...
44:46But it's also been so incredible.
44:48I think if I didn't take this opportunity, I would have seriously regretted it.
44:54This has been such a profound experience for me.
44:57We're all like a family.
44:59We've all understood each other.
45:01We've all created connections.
45:05The people that I've landed with, I just adore.
45:09I can't wait to see them all again.
45:10Yeah, just such a great crew of people.
45:18Despite where you come from, you are not a product of your environment.
45:21And I want to be an example of that.
45:23So if you are manifesting something in life,
45:26if you truly believe that you're capable of something,
45:28just keep pursuing at it.
45:35And trust me, the world's your oyster.
45:43This experience has taught me so much about myself.
45:46I think it's taught me more about myself than it has about Jefran.
45:53I am so unbelievably grateful that I've had to share it
45:57with these amazing people that I've met.
45:59They'll be my friends for life.
46:20I don't know.
46:36I'm so unbelievably grateful that I love for you.
46:36But I can't come here.
46:38I'm so監 Louisiana.
