[returns the sauce to the workstation] Right, all three of you [Ben, Danny & Robert] come here. Here we go. [with spoons] Taste time! Quick, quick, dig in there, yes? Dig in. Make sure you take a nice big mouthful. Big mouthful. Mmmmmm. [spits out the sauce as does Robert]
(interview) I spit it right out, it was disgusting.
Hey, salty soup! You're just reheating it!
So, how can you fuck it?!
It was bland before I over reduced it, it's my fault, I should've tasted it chef.
You're clumsy! You salted it!
You didn't over reduce it!
(interview) I'm a soldier, that's why I say yes chef.
One beef salad. Entrées: one bass, one New York steak.
[a woman comes up to the hotplate to reorder food]
LLady
Totally flat. No flavor on the carpaccio. This the second time I've had to reorder.
Okay, thank you. (to the blue team) Hey, get the veal along please, yes? Let's go.
LLady
Chef! [whistles to Gordon]
(to the woman) Right! Don't whistle at me, I'm not your fucking dog, yeah? You look more like a dog than I do. Fuck off, will you?
Oh dear. Excuse me! Oh, dear! Let's go, come down! Hurry up! Taste them. There, there you go, there's a nice big slice for you. Aw, fuck it!
Fucking hell! [throws the potatoes away] Why are the potatoes crunchy? Who cooked them then?
I did chef. If they go in the oven when the order comes in, they should be fully cooked. (interview) I don't know why they didn't cook. I never cooked potatoes that long before I sliced that thin.
(To Jean-Philippe) Hey, come in here you! Have I got news for you, yeah? Tell him then, tell him! HE'S GOING TO GO AND EXPLAIN TO THE CUSTOMER!!
The potatoes are undercooked. If they go in when the order comes in, they should be fine.
If she [Andrea] fires it when the order comes in, when it's ready to go -
Au-gratin dauphinois need to be cooked before service!
I'm not blaming her chef.
Hey, Andrea, she's trying to sabotage. She can't even tur -
(interview) I was embarrassed for Carol. She's pointing out other people's mistakes. Point me out! I dare you!
Here's the next question, how long then til they cook?
Oh, look how cool she is! She said "maybe ten minutes"!
(interview) They should've been done. Why didn't they cook?
(to the customers) Maybe ten minutes everybody, for your Au-gratin dauphinois!! (to Carol) Look at them, the poor souls! Are you stupid?!
Bullshit! [throws his towel away]
(interview) Those potatoes! I was embarrassed for Carol.
Why didn't they cook to begin with?
Chef, yes, I cooked them in the cream for an hour.
You cooked them in the cream for an hour?
In boiling cream for an hour.
Crunchy gratin dauphinois. Useless.
I just poured more cream on it and I'm going to put it back in.
My God! Oh, Jesus Christ! [gets the potatoes and dumps them all in the bin] Are you mad...
(interview) There were no saving those potatoes. None whatsoever. They just looked like shit. They looked like fucking shit! It was awful.
I wouldn't even serve that to a fucking pig farm, madam. Forget it. [throws the tray into the sink] You don't care, do you? Because if you did care, you wouldn't serve me that crap! This is supposed to be your exciting menu! Really?
(interview) I feel completely awful. This is such a great dish and I fucking ruined it!
I expect you, you and you to come up with an ALTERNATIVE! Sautéed potatoes, green pota- COME UP WITH ONE! It's your menu! You all look like this. [holds his finger up towards his mouth] No. COME UP WITH ONE!
I have made a decision to send home the person that has sabotaged their team, and a person I felt personally has given up... [Pauses and point at the one of the red team has won the dinner service] Carol. Jacket off and you're leaving Hell's Kitchen. (To Robert and Ben) You two, back in line. [Carol cries and comes closer to him and Ben sobbingly hugs both Robert and Danny] (to Carol) You didn't even make a comeback: after the dauphinois and the potatoes were screwed, you gave up. [Carol gives him her chef jacket and walks out to the door] Thank you. Goodnight. [Ben heavily breathe and Gordon watching her leave]
I came here with the attitude that I'm gonna win this competition. I'm gonna be the famous chef that everybody wants to come and work for. It's very humbling to be standing here a loser.
