[During prep; Sous Chef Christina has the Red Team go over "The List" while she goes out]
Make a list of everything you don't need.
(interview) Every kitchen has a prep list. Normally we don’t title the list... we just know it’s the list.
Okay, this is the list. I'm gonna put "The Fucking List".
DDannie
(interview) Jackie wrote "The F-ing List". Like... why would you write that?
[Christina sees Jackie's handwritten list at the workstation]
(to Kristin) "The Fucking List?"
The fuck– I didn't write that. So respectful, right? (interview) What are you thinking, Jackie? Disrespect like that does not fly anywhere.
(to Jackie) Is this you? It's disrespectful, is what it is. NEVER AGAIN I SWEAR TO GOD!!! If any--(Jackie starts to say something; Christina then points on her) SHUT UP!!!
(interview) She did not think that was very funny.
[holds Jackie's list] If any of this happens in this kitchen again, the fucking list, whoever writes it will be finishing "The Fucking List"!
It wasn't disrespecting you.
You just interrupted me. Take a seat! (letting Jackie to sit on a chef's table) Have a seat and sit down. Just sit down! Never again! It’s a professional fucking kitchen! You would be FIRED if you-if you worked for me! You want to have a (notices Jackie shrugging)—OH, YOU DON'T CARE?
(pointing her finger to Jackie again) This is your teammate. Find the cancer in your team and work around it!
(interview) Jackie brought our whole morale down. She has to go. I'm-I'm done with her.
[letting the red team out of the kitchen] Go have lunch.
(interview) I'm the type of person where I can joke, joke, joke, and then boom, jump on a desert and get the shit done. But these morons don't see that.
(goes to the Blue kitchen) Hey! Hey, Blue team!
(to Eddie and Alan) You two, on desserts. The rest of you, jump into the Red Team and help them finish! Now!
Who’s on fish? I’ll hop on fish!
That’s already reduced in there. Right here.
DDannie
I can’t believe this is fucking happening.
It’s fucking burnt, throw it out.
(interview) These boys just bomb-rushed our kitchen, kamikaze style. Like, fucking... [imitates bomb falling and going off]
As soon as those two tunas are ready, we’ll go to the pass!
I’m not screaming! THIS IS HOW I TALK!
(interview; impersonates Hassan yelling at her) "You guys need to listen to me, ‘cause I’m Hassan, and I'm big, and I blah-blah-blah!" Shut up!
Tuna going to the window!
[to Sous Chef Christina] On your left, two fish.
First ticket out, team! Loving the teamwork, guys!
With a very vocal Hassan leading the charge, the men have taken over the red kitchen...
[to Kris Jenner] And I have your tuna.
...delivering entrées to the chef’s table and grateful customers in the dining room.
Last table now! Two Arctic char, four wellington!
Both teams: Yes, chef!
She’s (Jackie) got the wellies right behind you.
Alright, guys, let’s clear it down.
[to Red team] Please thank the gentlemen for finishing your service two nights in a row!
[The Red Team starts walking upstairs to the dorms]
Fucking pathetic-ass shit. Bullshit ass team. Worst team ever.
Over in the red kitchen...
Coming to the pass in 15 seconds, chef.
Hassan and Dannie hope the the third time's charm with their refired New York Strip and Tuna.
Coming out the pass, one New York (Strip).
(interview) There's no option to fail we can not fuck this up. If we do, another one of us is going home.
Fucking steak's raw. Hey, hey, Red Team! RED TEAM!
HJHassan and Jackie
Yes, chef?
It is contagious. There's just mistake, after mistake, after mistake! DO ME A BIG FAVOR, ALL TOGETHER, FUCK OFF! GET OUT! GET OUT!
(interview) Kevin's gone. Tonight's dinner service was a complete disaster, the front of the train went off and the back just followed. (in the dorm) It was... just nipping in the but. Joe, biggest fuck-up of the night.
Hey, all of you, come here! Time-out! Come here, come here ALL OF YOU! Let's go (Manda) little lady. Come on! [calls the entire blue team into the pantry] The fucking chicken is raw!
WPWalter the Puppet
I heard the F-bomb, chef said the F-bomb.
Fuck! Look at that! Just look at the shit. I swear to God! [throws a chicken into a trashcan] I... I... I'd rather you just all fuck off out of here.
DDannie
Chef, we can all pick it up.
[interrupts Dannie] You can pick it up? You need to untuck to pay that, your fucking head out your arse!
[After Jared sent the chicken to the pass for the special guest; Gordon has had enough]
Hey! (knocks his hand on the workstation)
WPWalter the Puppet
Have you noticed his hair is much taller in person?
The chicken is raw, who cooked that?
I put in the oven again, chef.
WPWalter the Puppet
"Good luck".
We may have a fucking dummy on the chef's table!
WPWalter the Puppet
Yeah, whatever.
I can't accept this anymore longer! I CANNOT ACCEPT THAT! JARED, GET OUT! GET OUT!!!
[Jared throws a fork across the workstation as he walks out of the kitchen]
DDannie
Frank, please get two more down. Keep moving.
Guys, we need to push through this! I’M NOT FUCKING GOING DOWN LIKE THIS!
(interview) Frank should be kicked out, too! I mean, I’m taking the entire heat for this chicken. [flips over couch cushion in the dorms] GODDAMMIT!
While Chad and Jared commiserate, back in the blue kitchen, the rest of the chefs attempt to coordinate.
Here we go, Blue Team, one French toast, one chicken and waffles, two New York steak and eggs.
DDannie
I'll drop the French toast. (interview) With Jared kicked out of the kitchen, its definitely added pressure, but I don't want to stand here, and I don't want to talk about it. I just want to get food and done out.
DDannie
We gonna put these tables out. (to Manda) Manda, I need you to watch those French toast.
DDannie
I need to know what it is. We're cooking for chefs, everything should be spot on. (to Frank) Frank, please keep an eye on my French toast for me, please? I just want to check this chicken.
I'm already turned them, I'm already turned them.
DDannie
Okay, cool, cool. If you can run over (French toast) here, drop the waffle.
Alright. Manda, could you watch the French toast?
Two New York steak, one French toast urgently, yes?
I got two New Yorks ready to go.
(sees the French toast) Yep.
Who's cooking the French toast?
Frank. Frank was, Dannie was and then I was supposed to watch it.
[hurls the toast to a workstation and looks burned]
No, no, Amanda said she was gonna take over it. Man up to it.
(to Frank) I-- I JUST SAID I WAS GONNA WATCH IT!
Yeah. (interview) She is fucking useless. Useless! Don't throw me under the bus for something I didn't do. I'll pack this fucking girl's bags myself.
(Manda) Young lady, you are standing in right a front of it.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! (interview) I’m pissed the fuck off! They didn’t throw me under a bus, they threw me under a fucking Mack truck! [to Jared as she walks into the dorms] ONE MISTAKE! ARE YOU JOKING ME?! How many times did we send up raw-ass chicken?! It came back raw fucking three times!
(enters the dorms) I’ve been re-firing eggs all night, and every single one of my steaks was perfect!
I don’t give a fuck what you’ve been re-firing! All you’re doing is bitching to me about, "I cooked a million eggs" SO FUCKING COOK ANOTHER ONE!
Just cook another one. We’ll just all wait for Jared to get his shit together.
[flips Manda off] Fuck you. That was fucking low!
Fuck you! THAT’S FUCKING IT! [punches wall as he walks away]
[Gordon inspects some snapper]
Blue team! Frank! Speed up, let's go! Raw fish. How thick is the fish?
Thicker than last time. There's no two fish the same, right? But it's undercooked.
(interview) If I tell you to watch something, just fucking watch it, y'know? I mean, don't send it up raw.
Come on, blue team! Come on! [claps his hands and pounds the workstation] Speed up a bit now, okay? (to Frank) Are they in the pan yet?
Frank, get them in the pan!
Please, please, please! Frank, can you bounce back a little bit?
You can? [walks up to Frank and stares at him; Frank continues cooking without responding] That's it blue team, yeah, we've switched off?
DJDannie & Jared
No that's not it chef.
But look at his (Frank) FACE! (to Frank) Young man, would you like to go home?
(to Frank) Frank, bounce back. It's no big deal.
DJDannie & Jared
Okay, exactly, exactly.
Thank you. (interview) Like, "bounce back", you fucked me over. What do you mean "bounce back"?
I'm dragging four snapper!
Jared, Jared. I got two beef, two snapper in the pizza oven.
(interview) Here we go. Frank just tries to pass the buck
You checking the snapper over there?
(interview) That's what Frank does. Frank tries to be like, "well if my hands didn't touch it last, it's not my problem".
DDannie
Snapper, right now! [brings the fish to the pass]
[After customers ate the fish, it was revealed its raw]
Ohhh, minchia. That's uhhh that's not good at all.
FDFemale Diner 1
The flavor was good and then I went towards the middle.
Maybe they thought you ordered some sashimi. Let me take this please. I'm so sorry, I apologize. [returns to the kitchen] (to Gordon) Chef?
They already waited for the fish, and they are raw inside. They're undercooked.
[drops the bowls of raw fish in the trash] Oh, FUCKING HELL.
Hey, from now on, don't-just don't touch the snapper until I look at it, please.
(interview) It sucks because I'm getting fucked by everybody else and I'm dragging now on fish because of them, but like, I didn't push out those snappers.
[Gordon once again checks Jared’s steak and cuts into it]
[walks back to workstation] Hey! We go from overcooked to blue now. Not even the fucking marble of the fat. OVERCOOKED TO BLUE!
MDMale diner
[chuckles] I don’t think we’re getting our food anytime soon.
Alright, bounce back, guys. Come on.
DDannie
(interview; sighs) Not again, dude.
Thirty seconds on New York strip re-fire!
DDannie
Thirty seconds, heard! (interview) How can you go from extremely overcooked to raw? I don’t get it.
(to Gordon) Medium rare, chef.
[sees that the New York strip has been cut into] Oh, man. Fucking hell. [to Jared] Hey, is that you? Did—did you gash that?
I gashed that, chef. (interview; facepalms) Oh, shit. This is not good. (to Gordon) Chef, I sliced it to check the temperature.
And what about the touch?
Chef, New York strips are difficult for me. (interview) The steaks are thick today, but you can’t say that to Chef. You gotta be like, "Yes, chef. Whatever you say, chef. Lick the floor, chef? Sure, no problem, chef."
(to Jared) I expect you to cook a New York strip!
...I’ll drop you off at the fucking airport!
