00:41Stop putting the asparagus in the same place.
00:43It's not preschool.
00:44Let's go.
00:45Absolute madness.

01:08Wow!
01:09Welcome, guys!
01:10Oh!
01:13Hey!
01:14There you go!

01:20Getting boozy today.
01:21Oh, it's so cute!
01:22Who's going to be in here eating,
01:24and how many plates do we have to make?
01:26It's looking a little different here than usual, right?
01:28Yes, Chef.
01:29You guys have worked so hard.
01:31Guess what?
01:34Richard, Naisha, and myself are going to cook for you.
01:37What?
01:38Wait, what?
01:38Are you serious?
01:40Sit down.
01:40Take a seat.
01:41Enjoy.
01:41Sit down.
01:42Enjoy.
01:45Machete, what would you like?
01:46Uh, I want your, uh, beef wellington.
01:48Beef wellington.
01:49Anything else?
01:49Appetizers, what would you like?
01:50Scallops, please.
01:51Scallops.
01:52Love that.
01:52Dessert, any, anybody?
01:54Tiramisu.
01:54Tiramisu.
01:55OK.
01:56Wellington, Tiramisu, Scallops.
01:57Let's go.
01:57I'll put my apron on.
01:59Get up!
02:01Are you kidding us?
02:02Seriously?
02:03Ah!
02:04They got excited.
02:07I really hope no one on Team Blaze fell for that.
02:09I didn't take it seriously.
02:11I wasn't hungry for a delicious meal.
02:13It's fine.
02:15Listen up.
02:16This place is set up because in minutes from now,
02:19it's going to be filled with hungry diners.
02:22Oh.
02:23That's right.
02:24I got this.
02:25For the first time ever, you'll all
02:28be cooking an incredible dinner service.
02:31Hey.
02:32OK.
02:32OK.
02:34I have zero experience with dinner service.
02:37I'm like, somebody call my daddy to pick me up.
02:39I'm scared.
02:41Here's even better news.
02:43There will be a completely separate ingredient
02:46drop for each level.
02:48Wow.
02:48The basement will have their independent drop.
02:52Middle floor will have their independent drop.
02:54And the top flight kitchen will also
02:57have their independent platform drop.
03:00So no excuses for creativity.
03:03Let's get it.
03:03Each team will have 40 minutes to work together
03:05to create one stunning cause of the menu.
03:10Let's get it.
03:11Yes.
03:12Let's go.
03:13OK, listen.
03:13Everyone here has served up large parties before,
03:16whether it was working a busy restaurant service,
03:18serving a large holiday dinner for a family meal,
03:21or even a pop-up social media event.
03:23The approach is always the same, quantity and quality.
03:28Yes, Chef.
03:28Yes, Chef.
03:30Team Arrington, we may be in that basement,
03:32but we will be delivering an amazing starter, that appetizer
03:37that's going to set the tone for the evening.
03:39Yes.
03:39Right.
03:40OK, Team Blaze, 20 minutes later,
03:42we'll be serving the fish course out of the middle level
03:44kitchen.
03:44Yes, Chef.
03:45Team Ramsay, listen up.
03:4620 minutes later, you'll be serving a showstopping meat
03:49entree from that top level kitchen.
03:52Yes, Chef.
03:52Yes, Chef.
03:52OK, here's the other thing.
03:54The three of us mentors, we're going
03:56to be standing side by side with you, shoulder to shoulder,
03:59grabbing ingredients.
04:00Get it.
04:00Get it.
04:02That's my boy, Blue.
04:03That's my boy, Blue.
04:04How exciting is that?
04:06Exciting.
04:06We're part of the teams today.
04:07Come on, Winnie.
04:08Because we're going to be in the kitchens cooking
04:10alongside you, we've asked some very special friends of ours
04:14to come in and taste from your courses
04:18and determine a winner.
04:20Now, please welcome three of the most incredible chefs
04:22in the world, seven Michelin stars between them.
04:27Give it up, guys.
04:29Let's go.
04:30Let's go.
04:35First up, let me introduce a phenomenal chef.
04:38He holds two Michelin stars and our host and mentor of Next
04:42Little Chef Brazil, Alex Atala.
04:45Welcome, Alex.
04:46Chef Alex Atala just looking at me.
04:48Bucket list.
04:50Bucket list.
04:51Now, holding two Michelin stars for his flagship restaurant,
04:55A Wong, the incredible Chef Andrew Wong.
04:58Woo!
04:59Woo!
05:00I'm in awe.
05:01Absolutely mind-blown.
05:03I mean, Chef Wong, like, titan of industry, master of craft.
05:07And finally, my favorite, because she was my former head chef
05:12for 10 years, but now runs her own empire.
05:16And it's the first ever British woman to be a recipient
05:19of three Michelin stars.
05:20Give it up for Claire Smith.
05:22Woo!
05:23Woo!
05:24Claire Smith.
05:25Wow.
05:26We are a band of wild females, and we are in the presence of greatness.
05:33This is girl power at its finest.
05:35This is our first ever restaurant takeover.
05:38Alex, I'll come to you first.
05:39What are you looking for?
05:41I have expectations.
05:43Delicious food.
05:44Claire.
05:45They've not got a lot of time, so try
05:47to give your dish some personality.
05:48Really make it stand out.
05:49Absolutely.
05:51Andrew.
05:51And most important, don't panic.
05:53I could never do what you guys do in this kind of setting,
05:56but try not to panic and keep things simple.
05:59Let's go.
06:00Let's go.
06:00Team Arrington.
06:01Yes.
06:02Head to the elevator, and I'll see you shortly.
06:04Good luck, guys.
06:04Let's do it, baby.
06:05There we go.
06:06The pressure is definitely on, and then you bring these three
06:10from the cooking heavens, and to judge us is huge.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Yeah.
06:18Let's get it, team.
06:19We're doing a dinner service.
06:20This is my bag.
06:21We smile.
06:22We welcome our guests into the kitchen,
06:24but at the same time, we're in the basement,
06:26and fine dining is all about finesse,
06:30so I'm going to have to dig deep.
06:32This is my world.
06:34In my world, that sort of posh, everything on a certain side,
06:38serve to the left, no breathing, that sort of environment
06:42is not my wheelhouse.
06:43Let's get locked in on a rough vision with Chef.
06:47When we go to the grab, we're thinking about the same rough vision.
06:52Yes.
06:52Yes.
06:54Yes.
06:54Yes.
06:54Let's go, team.
06:55Come on, Chef.
06:55Chef.
06:56What are we thinking for an app?
06:58I want some femininity in it, and I want some softness.
07:01I like that.
07:01Is that okay with drawing from your femininity?
07:03Let's do it every single day, Chef.
07:04Beautiful.
07:05Yeah.
07:05And who's doing what?
07:06Sauce.
07:07Protein.
07:08Garnish.
07:09Garnish.
07:09You've got the knife cuts, bro.
07:11I can help with garnish.
07:12Bag team garnish.
07:13When we see this platform come down,
07:14we're going to be able to tighten our vision up.
07:16As soon as you have an instinct on protein,
07:19as soon as I see it, I'm going to make it happen.
07:20Okay.
07:22And I'm here to help you.
07:23I will be here to support you.
07:27All right, let's go, boys.
07:28Let's go, let's go, baby.
07:29We have one mission, is to wow these Michelin stars, chefs, and judges.
07:33Do we have a plan coming in?
07:35I'm fish.
07:35Okay.
07:36Saucie.
07:36Okay.
07:37Veg, veg, bread, veg.
07:38Starch.
07:39Starch.
07:39Okay, let's not get too wrapped into we're going to make this sauce,
07:42or we're going to do this thing, because we don't know what's going to be on that platform.
07:45I'm here with you, I'm cooking with you, I'm running with you.
07:47Let's make the dish look like it's a restaurant plate, obviously.
07:50Every day.
07:50We have a restaurant today.
07:54All right, let's go.
07:55Let's go, ladies.
07:56Let's go.
07:57We good?
07:58Yay!
07:58Right, first time ever, restaurant service, 22 plates.
08:02Yes, sir.
08:03It's a big one.
08:03How are we going to divide and conquer?
08:04Who's going to cook the protein?
08:06We have not decided that yet.
08:08That's really important.
08:09Yeah.
08:10I'm here.
08:11I'll do as much as I can, but you guys need to lead it.
08:17Platform's coming down, guys.
08:19Ooh.
08:19Game day, baby.
08:21Let's go.
08:22Whoo!
08:26Oh!
08:28We have scallops on the right.
08:30We have scallops.
08:31Scallops.
08:31Scallops.
08:32Scallops.
08:32Yes.
08:33Ooh.
08:34A giant thing of scallops on my bone.
08:37Oh, I see miso, white miso, and sake.
08:41I got to make a miso-sake butter to baste these bad boys in.
08:45We have peas for a sauce.
08:47You have white wine here.
08:48Oh, white wine.
08:50Green, yes.
08:50Beautiful shallots.
08:51Garlic.
08:52Lemon and orange.
08:53Yeah.
08:53Great.
08:54Watch out.
08:55Ooh la la.
08:56I have citrus and pea sprouts.
09:00Radishes.
09:02You know, I'm feeling confident, but at the same time, this challenge is not about individual
09:06skill.
09:06It's really going to come down to communication, teamwork, and strategy.
09:11Oh, we want these micro-greens.
09:13Enough for 22 dishes.
09:16Good job.
09:16Good job.
09:17Okay.
09:17What did we grab?
09:19Scallops.
09:19Yes.
09:19Beautiful.
09:20So what are we thinking, guys?
09:21We have no time.
09:22Okay.
09:22Time is of the essence.
09:23Sake miso, scallop.
09:24A miso, scallop.
09:25Okay.
09:26I say no.
09:27I want to go more citrus in French.
09:28I like citrus.
09:30I like citrus.
09:30Let's work together, guys.
09:32This is your dish.
09:33I just want to support your vision.
09:34I want to be a warm sauce.
09:35I'm thinking whole, dude.
09:36It's scallops.
09:37It's a cold water dish.
09:38This is difficult.
09:39It doesn't feel kumbaya for me.
09:41We need to go a nice, beautiful herb salad over top.
09:43Yes.
09:44Pickled radishes.
09:45And I love the idea of a puree on the bottom to anchor it.
09:48You can make a sunchuck pea puree.
09:50Yes.
09:50I can do that.
09:51All right, guys.
09:52Our 40 minutes starts right now.
09:54Let's go.
09:55Let's go.
09:5622 perfect dishes.
09:58Season the miso, season myself.
09:59Okay, Matt.
10:00What are we working on?
10:01I'm first going to get the pickle and the liquid going for the radishes, and then I'm going
10:04to start cutting them.
10:06What are you working on, Connor?
10:07Garnish.
10:08The most beautiful salad you've ever seen.
10:09You've done a catering event before, right?
10:11Every single day.
10:11Amazing.
10:12My catering events are just absolute hospitality and personality on the plate.
10:16Max flavor, max love.
10:17If you put that on that plate, those judges are going to taste that.
10:19Oh, yeah.
10:19I'm going to welcome them with everything I got.
10:21I love that.
10:21Let's get it.
10:22Guys, I don't know about you, but I want this to be a winning course.
10:25Yes.
10:25Yes, chef.
10:26I am always excited when I get to wear an apron.
10:28I want the best pieces, okay?
10:30Heard, chef.
10:31Heard, chef.
10:31Heard, chef.
10:32And just pour that same pickling over each one of them, okay?
10:34Cooking's definitely the best place.
10:36I feel like I'm in my element.
10:37Delicate.
10:38Nice.
10:38A very exciting day, to say the least.
10:41What are we working on, Danielle?
10:42Right now, we're working on our vinaigrette, and how are we incorporating the basil?
10:46Is it going to be a green vinaigrette, or is it going to be...
10:47It's going to be a green vinaigrette.
10:48I want it to feel striking, but I want to see little bits in it.
10:51I feel good.
10:51I feel excellent.
10:53Come on, baby.
10:55Come on, guys.
10:55Leave yourself time on the back end.
10:58Machete, you good?
10:59How you doing, machete?
11:00I'm making a sake miso, though.
11:01Sake miso.
11:02I'm just doing this as, like, a nice base over the top.
11:04I'm just going to brush it lightly.
11:05After you serum?
11:06Yeah.
11:06Okay.
11:07Nice.
11:07Yeah, after I serum, yeah.
11:08Don't be too delicate, okay?
11:09To me, a perfect scallop should be treated just like you cook a marshmallow.
11:14Crispy on the outs, gooey in the middle.
11:16I love a scallop.
11:18Machete, when are you soon to start grilling scallops?
11:20I'm about to start right now.
11:21I'm just seasoning them up real quick, Chef.
11:22Great.
11:23There we go, y'all.
11:23Wish me luck.
11:27Don't forget, these are going to be your first to turn, right?
11:29Yes, ma'am.
11:30There you go.
11:33Delicious, Chef.
11:33What do you think?
11:35I don't want rubbery scallops, okay?

29:01wine reduction a mushroom a la creme and some infused palm puree with a pickled blackberry wow thank you
29:18thank you very much thank you very elegant presentation yeah it's very refined isn't it
29:30i'm impressed that they made like a meat based sauce in such a short time the sauce is really
29:36nice i wish i had more actually it's a classic fillet of beef but beautifully done my fillet it is
29:44lightly overcooked maybe too caramelized okay yeah dry sensation yeah seared too hard the potato puree could
29:52be even softer more luxurious yeah yeah a lovely lovely plate of food again all three plates of food are
30:00really nicely executed really beautiful choice yeah judges how was that incredible
30:14should we start with the appetizer appetizer was beautiful lovely colors scallops cooked perfectly
30:21the only thing that we said was slightly on a negative on that of course is that we thought the
30:26the miso was very subtle interesting would i love to have like a real kick of some sort all right
30:33what do we think about the middle floor for me salmon was perfect nice combination nice contrast between
30:41flavor and acidity but we expected a bit more from the potatoes yeah and that's the most beautiful course
30:48um from the top floor the fillet yeah i mean i think it was the most visually beautiful dish the
30:53most uh
30:53refined elegant dish there's nothing else about that dish it was just it was perfectly executed well
30:59there might have been some comments about some of the beef being slightly over charred around the edges
31:06as in over sort of caramelized yeah seared a little bit dry on the edge
31:14damn okay right um i guess the big question is what was the best course of the night
31:21and most importantly the least successful dish the dish that will take them into the elimination
31:26was really hard because all three were really good was yes to pick a winner but the harder one was
31:31actually to pick the bottom tea
31:43welcome back wow seven michelin stars between the three of these chefs is crazy i am more nervous for
31:54this judging than i have been for the entire competition alex claire and andrew have given us
32:00their decision and it wasn't easy let me tell you claire how would you round up the experience i mean

36:54wheelhouse here you've done this before yeah yes chef for our next way all right matt how are the
37:01potatoes good i just need to rice and those purple potatoes can be really starchy
37:0610 minutes to go and you're keeping an eye on these scallops yes sir about a turn yeah
37:12come on baby oh that's not working what's the matter um the potatoes are struggling so i want
37:18these guys to get nice and crispy for the base okay we need to crisp these baddies up what is

37:37done you almost almost can it's almost there just make sure it's cooked hurt chef all right matt are the
37:43scallops cooked done two minutes left it's time to play bring it together yeah it's not a potato challenge
37:52it's a scallop challenge let's go scallops butter lemon guys come on i want you to think about do i
38:00have
38:00everything on the dish five four three two one stop cooking wow guys
38:14nice gordon welcome you know insanity in the best of ways a hard cook with four people up here and
38:20nice you'll be proud to know that your whole team pushed right to the end there and cook their hearts
38:25out for sure i believe it let's get into this so this is a scallop tostada with a pineapple salsa
38:35beautiful presentation i love the sort of bright citrus notes coming from the pineapple it's got
38:41the right cook on the scallops caramelized on the outside just opaque succulent in the center this is
38:46delicious okay next up we have a seared scallop with a smoky risotto and a salsa verde
38:57scallop is cooked beautifully i love the caramelization rice could do with another 90 seconds
39:02i'll be honest just visually to the eye you can see the kernels bright white they need to be
39:06translucent and clear the risotto is a little bit tight but balanced really nicely okay next up we have
39:14a pan seared scallop with crispy potatoes and a little bit of pomegranate seeds cilantro aioli as well
39:22the scallop is cooked beautifully i love the tang and the freshness coming off of the pomegranate
39:26it's a really bright note scallops cook beautifully it's a shame because the garnish is clumsy and the
39:32scallops get lost in translation potatoes could have been a little bit more crispier they taste a bit greasy
39:38lastly we have a seared scallop with a purple sweet potato and a bacon jus
39:47it's really difficult to turn those purple potatoes into something unique because it's a little bit
39:51starchy it needs some help in there this bacon i want more of that and less potatoes for me my
39:58scallop
39:58was under done could have used a few more minutes in the pan or some basting but otherwise flavor
40:03incredible okay gordon i'm going to start with you which scallop dish was your least favorite
