“10 Chefs Again” quotes from Hell's Kitchen

Jackie, Red team's first nominee, and why?

Our first nominee is Ariel. The fish station completely collapsed. The scallops, everything was just bad.

Red team's second nominee, and why?

Hey, they voted for me.

(to Jackie) They voted for you?

Yes.

WHY?

I really don't know. I believe it should have been Ashley, 'cause if I was on either one of those stations, I would have ran it way better.

(interrupting Jackie) We chose Jackie, chef, because of her lack of progress. It doesn't help us to have to be creative for her.

That's not true, Chef. What a mess.

The person leaving Hell's Kitchen is... [a pause, then points to the blue team, who won the night's service] Joe. Give me your jacket. Joe, unfortunately, you are not ready to be the next head chef at BLT. Service after service after service, I'm not seeing any change.

Yes, chef.

Thank you.

Thank you for the opportunity, chef. (after being eliminated) Hell's Kitchen was much more grueling than I could have ever imagined. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback when you're sitting at home watching it, going, "Yeah, I could make a risotto". It's a much different story when you're in the line of fire with Chef Ramsay up your rear end. If-ifs and buts were candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas, and I'm the one out here right now, so I'm the one that's got to take it on the chin.

Joe had an amazing taste profile and was a standout in challenges. Unfortunately, for him, dinner services were just out of his reach.
