00:00:00The game now begins!
00:00:40Congratulations to Sage Bennett on her historic fifth consecutive World Culinary Championship!
00:00:47The only chef ever to claim the title five years in a row!
00:01:00And today, the home group, the restaurant and hospitality empire Sage Bennett founded, has officially been ranked number one in
00:01:09the world!
00:01:10She's not just a culinary legend now, she's the queen of hospitality!
00:01:15Boss, the tethered clothes you asked for are ready.
00:01:22For years, I've given to others anonymously.
00:01:25But today, I'm looking for someone with genuine character, someone worthy of becoming a partner in my top restaurant.
00:01:32The first person to offer me food gets a 10 million dollar investment.
00:01:37Please, could someone spare a little food?
00:01:40Wait! Don't go over there!
00:01:42What's wrong, babe?
00:01:43That bum over there went to high school with me.
00:01:46If she spots me, she'll probably start begging me for money.
00:01:51Let's take a side street.
00:01:52Wait, you mean Sage? That's really her?
00:01:55You know her?
00:01:56She's my ex. We broke up when she left town for work.
00:02:00Wow, I never thought she'd end up on the street.
00:02:02I've gotta record this.
00:02:04Come on, if people find out a successful restaurant owner like me went to school with her, it'll screw up
00:02:10my image!
00:02:11Molly, that franchise you're so proud of only exists because I gave it to you.
00:02:17Please, could someone...
00:02:18Is there really no one out here worth believing in?

00:15:07he's always said that if he couldn't marry her
00:15:09anyone else would just be settling
00:15:12so how does he suddenly meet the love of his life
00:15:14and call off an engagement over her
00:15:16jasper

00:15:41other than holding hands they haven't acted like a couple once
00:15:44no chemistry
00:15:45no affection
00:15:47they don't look like two people about to get married
00:15:49because it's all fake

00:15:57here sweetheart

00:16:27look at them
00:16:28they're perfect together

00:16:36happy now
00:16:37how does it feel watching the man you like
00:16:39kiss somebody else
00:16:41mr vance
00:16:44looks like quite the celebration you've got going on
00:16:46that's cyrus potter
00:16:47daisy's father
00:16:48the biggest name in the restaurant business in the state
00:16:50and that kid with him
00:16:52isn't that senator bruce's only son
00:16:54jasper just dumped his daughter
00:16:56there's no way he's here for anything good
00:17:06relax
00:17:08why so tense
00:17:09mr potter
00:17:10i owe you an apology
00:17:11what jasper did to your daughter was wrong
00:17:14and i'm truly sorry
00:17:16forget the engagement
00:17:18i heard your restaurant has a secret sauce
00:17:20so good it can make anyone hungry
00:17:23senator bruce asked me to bring young master leo here to try it
00:17:26if you can get him to eat
00:17:27there'll be a very generous reward
00:17:29if you can't
00:17:31then maybe this restaurant doesn't deserve to stay in business
00:17:34mr potter we do have the sauce
00:17:36but i've injured my wrist recently
00:17:37and young master leo's condition is
00:17:39so you're saying you can't meet a customer's needs
00:17:43a restaurant that can't serve its guests has no business staying open
00:17:47perhaps i should recommend the senator shut this place down
00:17:49no everybody knows senator bruce's son suffers from severe anorexia
00:17:53world-class chefs have tried and failed to get him to eat
00:17:55the only person who ever succeeded
00:17:57was the culinary legend
00:17:59and the senator paid a hundred million dollars for that meal
00:18:01you're not here for dinner
00:18:03you're here to destroy us
00:18:08that's right
00:18:09you had the nerve to dump my daughter
00:18:11now you get to watch your whole family
00:18:13lose everything
00:18:16vance restaurant is unable to serve its customers
00:18:19that's grounds for closure
00:18:20tear it apart
00:18:24stop
00:18:30what?
00:18:31has vance restaurant fallen so low
00:18:33that it needs a woman to fight its battles?
00:18:36there she goes again
00:18:37always desperate for attention
00:18:41what are you doing?
00:18:42this is my family's problem, not yours
00:18:46stay behind me
00:18:47no one's ever tried to protect me before
00:18:50you want payback for your daughter?
00:18:52fine
00:18:52this is all on me
00:18:53do whatever you want of me
00:18:54just leave my family out of it
00:18:58brave little fool
00:19:00if you want to go down first
00:19:02be my guest
00:19:05nobody lays a hand on my son
00:19:08i will make something master leo enjoys
00:19:11until then
00:19:11you don't touch a single member of my family
00:19:14and you don't damage a single thing in my restaurant
00:19:16they haven't even had a chance to cook yet
00:19:18how can you shut them down already?
00:19:20he's not even trying to hide it
00:19:21this is obviously a setup
00:19:22fine
00:19:23but if you fail
00:19:25don't blame me
00:19:26when i shut this place down on the spot
00:19:37let's see if you've got anything that can compete with the culinary legend
00:19:59please give it a try
00:20:11oh my god he ate it
00:20:13master leo won't even touch food he doesn't like
00:20:16but chef rowan actually got him to take a bite
00:20:19honey
00:20:21you did it
00:20:25sage what is it?
00:20:27the sauce is good
00:20:28but the dish still isn't reaching its full potential
00:20:31are you saying my dish isn't good enough?
00:20:34can you stop pretending you're some kind of expert?
00:20:37if there was something wrong with the dish
00:20:39why would master leo eat it?
00:20:41do you think we're all idiots?
00:20:54that's disgusting
00:20:55why would you serve me this?
00:20:59what?

00:21:01she was right
00:21:01she actually called it
00:21:04Vance restaurant has failed to satisfy its customer
00:21:08clearly unfit to operate

00:21:12i'm shutting this place down immediately
00:21:15wait
00:21:18who says nobody in the Vance family
00:21:20can make something he'll eat?
00:21:22you're supposed to be some rich heiress
00:21:25since when do rich girls know how to cook?
00:21:28stop making things worse

00:35:30the sacrifices i've made
00:35:31and everything i've earned with my own two hands
00:35:34they don't represent poverty

00:43:31vance restaurant to a culinary death match
00:43:35is this the culinary challenge
00:43:37what is it tell us
00:43:39each side picks a chef and competes under the supervision of a certified judge
00:43:43the losing restaurant has to shut down immediately and surrender its operating rights
00:43:47he's not here to play nice
00:43:49relax roan i know people at your level probably don't even qualify for competitions like this
00:43:55but don't worry
00:43:56everything is completely legal and above board
00:43:59the woman standing beside me is miss mary
00:44:01one of the top judges in international culinary competition
00:44:04she'll be serving as the sole judge today
00:44:06her
00:44:07mr cyrus porter
00:44:08holder of an international culinary challenge license
00:44:11formally challenges vance restaurant to a culinary showdown
00:44:14best two out of three rounds if vance restaurant loses
00:44:18it must immediately cease operations and transfer ownership rights
00:44:21if mr potter loses
00:44:23he agrees never to set foot here again and to cease all interference with vance restaurant
00:44:28all proceedings will follow international culinary competition regulations
00:44:32judging standards will be fully transparent
00:44:35and legally binding
00:44:38well rowan do you have the guts to accept
00:44:40see that both of cyrus's chefs are wearing michelin three star insignia bees
00:44:46exactly
00:44:46vance restaurant only has rowan
00:44:49he's basically picking a fight because they don't have anyone else
00:44:54the only reason the senator's kid ate that girl's garbage burger
00:44:58was because he'd never had cheap fast food before
00:45:01it was a novelty
00:45:02this time i've brought real chefs
00:45:04vance restaurant doesn't stand a chance
00:45:06this is ridiculous
00:45:08you're forcing this on us
00:45:10of course
00:45:11your father is always free to refuse
00:45:14you
00:45:18just turn it down aunt elena
00:45:20we can't win this
00:45:22rowan maybe we should refuse
00:45:24your wrist is injured
00:45:25last time was already pushing it
00:45:27how are you supposed to do this again
00:45:29it's not that simple elena
00:45:31he didn't come all this way with an entourage just to let us walk away
00:45:35three seconds remaining
00:45:36if vance restaurant fails to respond it will be recorded as a forfeit
00:45:40three
00:45:41two
00:45:44vance restaurant accepts your challenge
00:45:49how dare you accept a challenge on behalf of vance restaurant
00:45:54what happens if we lose
00:45:55filthy piece of street trash
00:45:57you're trying to drag jasper's whole family down with you
00:46:00sage please don't make this any worse
00:46:03i'm not making anything worse
00:46:04if you accept the challenge you might lose
00:46:07but if you refuse it you're guaranteed to lose
00:46:10oh please
00:46:11spare us the theatrics
00:46:13sage what are you talking about
00:46:15this challenge is one of the most notorious competitions in the culinary world
00:46:19they call it the unrefusal challenge
00:46:21once it's been formally issued
00:46:22declining it counts as an automatic loss
00:46:24you'd still be forced to shut down
00:46:26and surrender ownership
00:46:27what
00:46:28is that true sage
00:46:29of course it is
00:46:30why do you think he was being so generous about letting you walk away
00:46:33he was counting on you not knowing the rules
00:46:35scare you with celebrity chefs
00:46:37trick you
00:46:38into declining and win by default
00:46:40the young lady is correct
00:46:41mr potter informed me that your side was already familiar with the competition rules
00:46:45in the interest of fairness
00:46:46mr potter is hereby issued a formal warning for that misrepresentation
00:46:50so that's what this was
00:46:52unbelievable
00:46:53that's absolutely shameless
00:46:56you little brat
00:46:58you just can't stop ruining my plans can you

00:48:29would you be willing to represent vance restaurant in the competition
00:48:34uncle rowan
00:48:35you can't be serious

00:53:28i'm just grateful you came into my life sage
00:53:31maybe
00:53:37maybe i've already fallen for you
00:53:52round one is about to begin
00:53:54both sides
00:53:56please choose your competing chef
00:54:02so what have you accepted my challenge
00:54:04my chefs are about to wipe the floor with you
00:54:14that's chef mark he's famous worldwide for his knife skills
00:54:18uncle rowan you seriously think that beggar can beat him
00:54:23we're counting on you
00:54:25we're counting on you kid
00:54:25we're counting on you kid
00:54:26we're counting on you kid
00:54:33round one
00:54:34knife skills
00:54:36each chef will select a partner
00:54:38blindfolded they will julienne a potato on their partner's abdomen
00:54:41after five minutes the chef with the finest most uniform and most precise cuts will be declared the winner
00:54:57they're cutting potatoes on someone's stomach is this even a real competition
00:55:02and blindfolded
00:55:05one slip and somebody ends up bleeding all over the stage
00:55:10no it's actually a brilliantly designed challenge
00:55:14it tests more than knife skills it tests composure
00:55:17the abdomen is soft sensitive and constantly moving with every breath
00:55:22blindfolded chefs are easily affected by that movement
00:55:24they hesitate
00:55:25their hands shake
00:55:26or they run out of time
00:55:28to produce perfectly even beautiful julies under those conditions
00:55:32a chef's knife work has to reach the highest level
00:55:35where the chef and the blade become one
00:55:38chef mark's knife skills are recognized worldwide as elite
00:55:42but only one person has ever truly mastered that level
00:55:46the legendary culinary legend
00:55:48i just don't know whether sage can win this
00:55:52arrogant little fool
00:55:58you
00:55:58get up there and be mark's partner
00:56:00boss no
00:56:02that's too dangerous
00:56:03i i have a wife and kids
00:56:06useless coward
00:56:07get up there or you're fired
00:56:09i'll pay you triple
00:56:32i'll pay you triple
00:56:32sage i'll be your partner
00:56:33jasper
00:56:34jasper
00:56:35jasper no
00:56:35it's too dangerous
00:56:36one mistake could get you killed
00:56:41i trust her
00:56:54i'll keep my breathing steady
00:56:56i won't throw you off
00:56:58relax
00:57:01i won't let a cutting board this handsome
00:57:04get so much as a scratch
00:57:14begin
00:57:25oh my god he's so fast
00:57:33i can barely see his hands moving
00:57:37that's chef mark for you
00:57:38he's practically a human potato slicing machine
00:58:07he's practically a human potato slicing machine
00:58:12what on earth is she doing
00:58:14she's moving slower than a snail
00:58:18uncle rowan
00:58:19why would you send her up there
00:58:20i told you
00:58:21she's a nobody
00:58:23rowan
00:58:24you shouldn't have trusted her
00:58:25she's going to turn us into a laughing stock
00:58:28sage
00:58:29don't worry about me
00:58:30speed up
00:58:31the clock's running out
00:58:32i'll keep my breathing steady
00:58:34i won't interfere
00:58:45ha ha ha ha
00:58:47this is unbelievable rowan
00:58:49did you send her out there because you've already accepted you're gonna lose
00:59:00no that's not what's happening here
00:59:08is she an idiot
00:59:12this round is about julienne cuts
00:59:14why is she turning in a whole potato
00:59:18miss
00:59:19i don't think you understood the challenge
00:59:21the potato was supposed to be cut into juliet strips
00:59:27i know
00:59:27the plate's simply too small for what i made
00:59:32you've got to be kidding
00:59:33how much space could one potato possibly take
00:59:36judge
00:59:37think we can declare a winner already
00:59:42oh my god
00:59:44how did she do that
00:59:47what
00:59:58this
01:00:00this is nothing short of a miracle
01:00:03how could some nobody
01:00:06possibly have knife skills like that
01:00:16remarkable
01:00:17absolutely remarkable
01:00:20this young lady used an exceptionally rare knife technique
01:00:24every cut was made at a perfectly measured interval
01:00:27alternating angles with flawless precision
01:00:30while never fully severing the potato
01:00:33only cutting about three quarters of the way through each time
01:00:38that's how a single potato
01:00:40was transformed into a net of this scale
01:00:43for this round
01:00:44the winner
01:00:45is Vance restaurant
01:00:51we did it
01:00:53sage you did it
01:00:55you actually did it
01:00:59easy there
01:01:03if anyone deserves credit
01:01:05it's that ridiculously impressive cutting board of yours
01:01:11you useless idiot
01:01:13you lost to a woman
01:01:15a homeless woman
01:01:17no
01:01:18that's impossible
01:01:19i've only ever seen one chef use that knife technique
01:01:23who the hell are you
01:01:28you
01:01:29that was a fluke
01:01:31enjoy it while you can
01:01:33in the next round
01:01:34i'm going to crush you
01:01:51round two
01:01:53seafood cuisine
01:01:54both teams
01:01:55please select your competing chef
01:02:01i'll admit it you've got some impressive knife skills
01:02:04but from here on out
01:02:06things won't be nearly so easy
01:02:10no way i'm not letting that homeless bum steal all the spotlight
01:02:15Aunt Elena
01:02:16i think my hands feeling better
01:02:18i can compete for Vance restaurant
01:02:19really Molly that's wonderful
01:02:21Molly seafood is your thing this is your round
01:02:24Rowan let Molly handle round two
01:02:27she'll win this for us
01:02:29but mom you can't bench sage after what she just did
01:02:33that's not right
01:02:35Jasper be realistic
01:02:36she's a nobody
01:02:37this round is seafood
01:02:38she's probably never seen half these ingredients before
01:02:40exactly
01:02:41sage may have great knife skills
01:02:43but seafood cuisine is Molly's field
01:02:45there's no comparison
01:02:46Miss sage perhaps you should sit this round out
01:02:49dad mom
01:02:50i don't mind
01:02:51but but Molly one piece of advice
01:02:54that chef is far more dangerous than he looks
01:02:56be careful
01:02:57sage spare me the warning
01:02:58i graduated top of my class from the country's most prestigious culinary academy
01:03:04i don't need lessons in confidence from you
01:03:06i don't need lessons in confidence from you
01:03:17hey scarface when it comes to cooking nobody beats me
01:03:21get ready to lose
01:03:23the second match is now beginning
01:03:26when you're handling lobster speed is everything
01:03:29crack the shell extract the meat move on
01:03:33and don't forget to stop by my restaurant
01:03:35if you want to taste real cooking
01:03:39that's going to bring in a flood of customers
01:03:43her knife skills are solid
01:03:44unfortunately she's already lost
01:03:47sage what do you mean by that
01:03:50what are you talking about
01:03:52this match could decide whether Vance restaurant survives
01:03:55and you're standing here predicting we'll lose
01:03:58she's just upset Molly stole the spotlight
01:04:01this is nothing but a cry for attention
01:04:03miss sage why are you so certain Molly will lose
01:04:05that's a live lobster
01:04:06rule number one never smash the head
01:04:09the brain digestive tract and bitter glands are all connected there
01:04:13the moment you crush it those glands rupture and contaminate the meat
01:04:17bitter fluid seep straight into the flesh
01:04:19once that happens the flavor is ruined at the source
01:04:22no chef can save it
01:04:23and when you force apart a live lobster like that
01:04:26the muscle fibers seize up instantly
01:04:28the meat turns tough the sweetness disappears and the texture is ruined
01:04:32she was so focused on speed that she destroyed the ingredient itself
01:04:36how could she possibly win
01:04:37but soup food is all about preserving the natural flavor
01:04:40doesn't that mean Molly has already lost
01:04:44shut up street trash
01:04:46you've probably never even touched real seed before
01:04:48you're just making this up
01:04:50exactly she's just jealous Molly's getting all the attention
01:04:54Aunt Elena don't let her fool you
01:04:56show some respect
01:04:58miss sage then what would the proper technique
01:05:00first you gently press the head to calm the lobster's nervous system
01:05:04then you insert a skewer through the tail to drain it cleanly without disturbing the bitter glands
01:05:09just like that chef is doing
01:05:14he's actually massaging the lobster
01:05:17then you separate the head and body with a clean cut at the joint
01:05:20remove the shell without tearing the meat
01:05:23preserve the texture preserve the sweetness
01:05:25that's the most basic respect you can show the ingredients
01:05:28damn it Molly's about to ring in
01:05:38you mishandled the lobster
01:05:40start over with a fresh one while you still have time
01:05:44sage's giving me cooking advice now
01:05:46what a pathetic little know-it-all
01:05:53hope you're ready to lose
01:05:54haha
01:06:05hmm
01:06:07Rowan, tonight
01:06:08is the night your family loses everything
01:06:15Dirty trick
01:06:22Sage, what the hell are you doing?
01:06:27You ruined my dish
01:06:29That little brat just ruined everything
01:06:37Wait, what's in this?
01:06:39What a shame, Vance Restaurant already rang in
01:06:42Which means the dish cannot be remade
01:06:44Round two goes to Cyrus team
01:06:46Vance Restaurant loses this round
01:06:50Congratulations Chef Ken
01:06:52This is all your fault
01:06:54You ruined everything
01:06:56My reputation, my restaurant, everything
01:06:58I was trying to help you
01:07:01Still making excuses?
01:07:03You sabotaged Molly
01:07:05Because you knew she was about to prove you wrong
01:07:08You couldn't stand seeing her win
01:07:18What exactly do you think you're doing to my wife?
01:07:23Jasper, what are you doing?
01:07:24Ben is family
01:07:25You're turning on him for a bum?
01:07:27Sage is my wife
01:07:29No one lays a hand on my wife
01:07:30No one
01:07:32Aunt Elena?
01:07:33She's completely gotten into his head
01:07:35Jasper, let him go
01:07:42Rowan, have you finally gone senile?
01:07:44The culinary world belongs to men
01:07:46And you think two women are going to win a death match?
01:07:49Women shouldn't be competing
01:07:51They should be washing dishes in the back
01:07:53Didn't your mother bring you into this world?
01:07:55Wasn't your first meal fed to you by a woman?
01:07:59Or did you somehow raise yourself?
01:08:02You!
01:08:05Clever mouth
01:08:06Shame that doesn't win competitions
01:08:08My trump ball is about to walk through that door
01:08:11And when he does
01:08:12This match is over
01:08:13And once I acquire Vance Restaurant
01:08:15I'll tear it down
01:08:16Brick by brick
01:08:18And erase it from history
01:08:19Rowan, your grandfather
01:08:21Built this restaurant
01:08:22We can't lose it
01:08:26This round would have been ours
01:08:27If not for that bum
01:08:28Uncle Rowan
01:08:29Let me take the final round
01:08:31I swear I'll give it everything I've got
01:08:44Sage, thank you
01:08:46Molly's dish was already compromised
01:08:48And someone tampered with it on top of that
01:08:50If the judges had eaten it
01:08:52And the substance had been discovered
01:08:54Vance Restaurant have been finished
01:08:56You saved us
01:08:57Don't mention it
01:08:58Anyone would have done the same
01:08:59Round three is about to begin
01:09:02Who will each side be sending in?
01:09:17That's Chef Lucas
01:09:18The five-time runner-up of the World Galeri Championship
01:09:27Well, that's a familiar face
01:09:29We're finished
01:09:30That's Chef Lucas
01:09:31No one's ever beaten him
01:09:32Except the culinary legend herself
01:09:36No
01:09:37If I go up against him, I'll lose
01:09:39I forfeit
01:09:40Molly, if you won't compete
01:09:42Then who will represent Vance Restaurant?
01:09:44Aunt Elena, this is your family's problem
01:09:46I'm not throwing myself into a match
01:09:48I can't win
01:09:49The Vance family's finished
01:09:50Unless they somehow bring in the culinary legend
01:09:52Nobody's beating Lucas
01:09:54And that's obviously not happening
01:10:09Rowan
01:10:10Rowan
01:10:11Molly won't compete
01:10:12We don't have anyone left
01:10:15Uncle Rowan
01:10:16It's not that we don't want to help
01:10:17You have no idea how terrifying Lucas is
01:10:20This match is unwinnable
01:10:21Just concede
01:10:27Miss H
01:10:28As the owner of Vance Restaurant
01:10:29I'm asking you sincerely
01:10:31To represent us one more time
01:10:34Please
01:10:38Uncle Rowan, you're actually letting her compete?
01:10:41Have you lost your mind?
01:10:43She's a homeless loser who got lucky
01:10:45There's no way her cooking is anywhere near Molly's level
01:10:48Rowan
01:10:49This is Vance Restaurant's last chance
01:10:51Are you really putting everything on her?
01:10:53No
01:10:54I think she may be the only chance we have
01:10:57You're giving her way too much credit
01:11:01She's a homeless loser!
01:11:04That's enough!
01:11:05Let me make this perfectly clear for the last time
01:11:08Sage is my wife
01:11:10No one gets to insult her
01:11:11No one gets to look down on her
01:11:14Sage
01:11:15I don't care what anyone else says
01:11:17This is your choice
01:11:18If you want to compete, I'll stand beside you
01:11:21If you don't, we'll leave right now
01:11:23And don't worry about the restaurant
01:11:24Even if we lose the restaurant
01:11:26I'll open another one somewhere else
01:11:28We'll start over if we have to
01:11:31I told you before
01:11:32I'm going to win this for you
01:11:35Then I accept your request
01:11:44Well, look who's here
01:11:46You should consider it an honor to lose to me
01:11:48Before today
01:11:49Someone like you
01:11:51Would never have been worthy of standing across from me
01:11:54You're mistaken
01:11:55I'm not your opponent
01:11:56It's her
01:12:02Her aura
01:12:03Reminds me of
01:12:05But that's impossible
01:12:06It can't be her
01:12:08It can't be that monster
01:12:13Since both sides have selected their competing chefs
01:12:17The time has come
01:12:18Let the third round begin
01:12:29Welcome everyone to the moment you've all been waiting for
01:12:34Round three
01:12:35The final round
01:12:36That will decide the outcome
01:12:38Of the Vance restaurant
01:12:39Versus Cyrus Potter culinary death match
01:12:43And now the format for our final round is
01:12:46Mystery basket
01:12:47Each chef will draw a set of ingredients from the box
01:12:50You'll then have 30 minutes to create a dish on the spot
01:12:53No substitutions
01:12:55No redraws
01:12:56And every ingredient you draw
01:12:58Must be used
01:12:59Mystery basket?
01:13:01That's the ultimate challenge
01:13:03The hardest format in competitive cuisines
01:13:06Why is it considered the hardest?
01:13:08Because the chef's going completely blind
01:13:10Wellington, souffles
01:13:12Those can be practiced hundreds of times
01:13:14Mystery basket can't
01:13:15It's pure instinct
01:13:16Pure technique
01:13:17Pure talent
01:13:18Uncle Roe
01:13:19Lucas has competed in this format five times
01:13:22He knows mystery basket inside and out
01:13:25Sage barely knows any dishes
01:13:28You shouldn't have chosen her
01:13:30So she's just some amateur cook
01:13:32How did I ever mistake her for that woman?
01:13:36She's definitely gonna lose
01:13:39You should be honored, kid
01:13:40Losing to me is the highlight of your career
01:13:44Is that so?
01:13:47Chefs, please make your draw
01:14:02Chef Lucas has drawn
01:14:03Squid, bell peppers, onion, and fresh asparagus
01:14:08Congratulations, Chef Lucas
01:14:10Beautiful draw, Lucas
01:14:12What a lucky break
01:14:14That's practically the perfect basket
01:14:16Luck is part of the game, kid
01:14:18If I were you, I'd wash my hands before drawing
01:14:21Get rid of some of that bad luck
01:14:22Otherwise, when you pull a nightmare basket
01:14:24Don't accuse me of picking on the weak
01:14:36Oh my
01:14:37Our second basket contains
01:14:40Live Boston lobster, blue cheese
01:14:42Dorian, dadgelile greens, and arugula
01:14:46Oh, she's finished
01:14:47That's gotta be the worst mystery basket drive ever seen
01:14:50Those ingredients don't even belong in the same dish
01:14:53Boston lobster is one of the finest seafood ingredients in the world
01:14:57Pairing it with pungent blue cheese and rich sweet dorian
01:15:00Creates a complete flavor clash
01:15:02Sage has been handed an impossible challenge
01:15:04Rowan, you can still surrender gracefully
01:15:07Otherwise, you're about to watch that little streetcrat
01:15:10Humiliate herself in front of the entire room
01:15:13Sage, I believe in you!
01:15:15You can do this!
01:15:30I know exactly what I'm making
01:15:32Why did she just do that?
01:15:36That's exactly what she used to do
01:15:39That woman
01:15:40The one who crushed me
01:15:42Every single time
01:15:44No matter how hard I fought
01:15:47Time starts now
01:15:49Chefs, you may begin
01:15:57It can't be her
01:15:58Not here
01:15:59Not like this
01:16:01I'm letting old ghosts get in my head
01:16:27What an incredible night look
01:16:29No wonder he's a five-time world championship runner-up
01:16:33This round's already over
01:16:34The Vances don't stand a chance
01:16:42Superb knife work
01:16:44Elegant presentation
01:16:45And the flavor is absolutely flawless
01:16:48Those ingredients fight each other at every level
01:16:51The flavors are completely incompatible
01:16:53No chef alive can make that basket work
01:16:56You've already lost
01:16:58Lucas is already finished
01:16:59Why hasn't she even started cooking?
01:17:01Don't tell me she gave up the second she saw that basket
01:17:03I said from day one she's bad luck
01:17:05She sabotaged Molly's dish on purpose
01:17:07She wants Vance Restaurant to lose
01:17:09You humiliated me in front of everyone
01:17:11Now let's see how you handle a basket like that
01:17:23One cut and the shell separated perfectly from the meat
01:17:26How is that even possible?
01:17:29You have it in front of everyone
01:17:31Okay
01:17:57Let's try
01:18:09the blue flame technique that's the culinary legend signature technique how do you know it
01:18:21absolutely incredible every ingredient's natural sweetness has been preserved to perfection
01:18:26the flavors that should have clashed somehow bring out the very best in one another this isn't just a
01:18:32great dish it's a masterpiece oh my god a nightmare it just got called a masterpiece
