Hell's Kitchen quotes

(to Sterling; as the red team walks into the pantry) Sterling, can you do this?!

I can do this, man!

Well, what's happening?

Sterling, let me tell you! Do not pull a Frank right now! If you need help...

I'm not pulling no Frank! I GOT THIS!!

...we can change!

One more thing comes back, we'll switch.

Alright, I'll switch! One more thing, I'll switch!

(to Sterling) One more, and we're done!

And I'll switch!

(to Sterling) Behind you, eggplant!

(interview) I'm so close to just yanking the fucking scallops, and trying to cook them over on the fucking meat station right now.

It wasn't a bad service, but it wasn't the kind of service I was hoping to get. But there is one thing I am sure about. [brief pause] Sterling. Step forward. [Sterling walks to Gordon] Sterling, you have been a phenomenal, relentless competitor... but I know that you're not ready to be my next head chef. Okay?

Yes, chef.

[hugs Gordon] That's what's up, man. Thank you!

And let that be a reminder of what you've achieved in this competition.

Thank you so much!

Listen, continue cooking.

I will, chef.

You will always be 100 to me. Time to head up to the dorms and pack your bags.

Yes, chef. This has been the greatest opportunity of my life, man. Can I hug everybody before I go?

Whatever you want.

Alright! I'm gonna miss y'all!

I'll miss you, too, Sterling.

(interview) 100 is no longer part of Hell's Kitchen, but I learned a whole lot. I was all happy-go-lucky at first... (to Roe) Hey, have a good time, okay? (interview) Some of the other chefs told me I didn't deserve to be here... (to Gordon; before leaving the kitchen) Thank you, chef, for the opportunity! I love you, man! (interview post-elimination) It made me come back even stronger. I had to make myself better and I did that. And on top of that, I got too many wins in challenges. I'm a leader, and it took me coming all the way to California to realize that. I might not have won Hell's Kitchen, but I got something that nobody in Hell's Kitchen have never accomplished—I got Chef Ramsay's heart!

Sterling went further in this competition than I thought he would. And even though he was always at 100, it wasn't enough to earn him a black jacket.

Santos dodged a bullet in the last two nominations, but tonight, there was nowhere to hide.

Roe thought she would row, row, row herself into the final four, but her performance tonight in the kitchen put her up a creek with no paddles.

(to Bryant) Is that too overcooked for you or no?

It tastes burnt. Yeah, fix it.

(interview) I tasted it. I thought it was unbelievable, but do whatever you want.

You're about three minutes away. You need to get the fuck out of this kitchen, dude.

No, Bryant, I will get it for you!

I'm fucking serious, Frank! (interview) My menu is supposed to be Frank-proof. Can you imagine if this menu was any harder?

Two halibut, two pork, two rib eye! How long?!

(to Frank) Can you walk?!

I can walk!

Frankie, garnish!

No, I got the mash coming with that!

What about broccolini?

Then, the broccolini!

How long?

This is ridiculous! (interview) Frankie's fucking us up right now. It's just unreal.

(to Frank) Broccolini, how long?! [Frank doesn't respond]

Come on, Frank!

TALK TO HIM, FRANK!

A minute and a half! (interview) I've been giving him pretty fucking accurate times. If anything, I'm off by a minute. I mean...it's pretty fucking accurate.

Get it together, Frank! KEEP TALKING!

Yes.

Yes is not a proper response!

Look! Alright, you know what? (interview) At this point, I can't let them run me. (to Frank) I need to send this food now, dude. People are getting pissed off and they're tired of waiting! (interview) I need to do anything I possibly can!

Look, I—

You know what, you know what? [waves hand] See you later, man. I'm sorry, I didn't like this...

I'm sorry, man.

...but I'm fucking serious! (to Sterling) Sterling, I need you here...

Yes, chef!

...to run this damn station!

Yes, chef!

(to Frank) BYE-BYE!

[starts walking out of the kitchen] FUCK!

Let's go, Sterling.

Yes, chef! Thirty seconds, chef!

(interview) I started off a little slow, but everything was going perfect. Everything was perfect. Dude, what just happened was so beyond fucked up. [angrily slaps the couch]

[during the winner's celebration] La Tasha has all the right ingredients to be a great chef. She's creative, a strong leader, has great attention to detail and has an outstanding palate. But the thing I love most about La Tasha, is her determination. I know that she's ready for the challenge of being my head chef in Atlantic City and I couldn't be happier.

[to Monique when he is tasting her signature dish] Tell me about the marinara sauce. I want to know how you made it.

It's just from a jar.

So you didn't even make the marinara sauce?

No! (interview) I don't think there's anything wrong with canned sauce. Unless you're from fucking Italy, and you're like born as an Italian, you're not gonna be making your sauce from scratch all the time. [to Gordon] No, if you wanted it, you should've just told me! I would've did it!

Oh, I've got to tell you what I want?

Yes!

(interview) Who the fuck uses jarred tomato sauce for Chef Ramsay? Who does that?!

Mo's pasta, one out of five.

Okay, got it.

[as Chrissa describes her signature dish] What in the fuck is that?

That is ginger-crusted chicken. I was in the cookie aisle, and I was trying to get ideas, and the ginger cookies...

Ginger cookie-crusted chicken breast?

Yep, that's what's in there.

[laughs along with the audience] I'm glad you were inspired in the cookie aisle and not the fucking pet food aisle! [takes a bite of the chicken] Aw...

Oh, really? [as she sees Gordon spitting out the chicken] Oh, no. Oh my God, really?

That is hideous.

Sorry!

One out of five.

(interview) I'm not really used to people spitting out my food, so it was very embarrassing.

The fuck is that? [brings the scallops back to the kitchen] Hey, all of you, come here. Hurry up!

(interview) This isn't going to be good.

Just touch them. Just touch the top of them. Look at them. Look, look. Look. So, we've got fucking colour on one side, and boiled the next.

Yes, chef.

(interview) Stupid mistakes, Michael. We're on our first ticket. We've got Chef Ramsay up our ass. This is not a good sign!

The sad thing is he [smashes the scallops with his hand] FUCKS two portions as well! Young man, you need to know, you are not at the fucking senior home!

Yes, chef.

One more like that, and you can fuck off back there!

Yes, chef.

Tonight!

Yes, chef.

(interview) I don't understand it. We've been in this business our whole lives. They're fucking scallops. It ain't rocket science.

[after cutting into lamb prepared by Monique] It's really rare. Monique, it's really rare. Screw it, back in the oven.

That shit's not even hot! Put that in the fucking convec(tion) oven! Are you kidding me?! (interview) I open the oven, and I'm expecting, like, a facial, and it's nothing.

Our oven is not hot for some reason.

It's not on!

It is on.

The oven's off! (interview) Monique, are you fucking kidding me? Your goddamn oven is off, and you're cooking lamb. Are you like...are you high?

(to the red team) Lamb!

Chef, we're bringing it up. Pork?

Got it. You following me?

Yes. Right behind.

Right behind!

Ladies! ALL OF YOU! COME HERE!!

(interview) Fuck! Really?! Like, again?! Oh my God! This is not happening!

Raw lamb and dry pork! Like pork jerky! Look at it! RIDICULOUS!! [throws spoon up before walking out of the red kitchen] Aw, FUCK OFF.

(to the red team) Lamb!

(to Monique; as she brings the lamb to Gordon) Behind you, Mo.

I've got the lamb! Where's the pork?!

I need these two right here.

One, two, three, four, five, six chefs on meat!

Pork is fucking raw.

Is it raw? Stop! Stop! Bring me the lamb, please!

(interview) We started off strong, and then the meat station! It's like a ship out at sea, the pirates came and fucking capsized that bitch!

So you bring me the lamb and the pork's raw?! Now, I'm taking it personally! I need you to do one more thing together as a team. GET OUT! GET OUT! It's such a fucking joke! PISS OFF!

(to Michael) What are you reading through there? What are you—

I'm just going through it in my mind, chef.

This, [rips up menu] you don't need.

Yes, chef.

You do not need that. Look at yourself in the mirror, and scream risotto ingredients.

Risotto ing-!

Number one, what is it?

Oil, chef.

Rice, you fucking pillock.

(interview) Michael's kind of just a hot mess.

If he doesn't know what's in a fucking risotto, we're screwed!

(interview) Hey, Mike, I like you. It's nothing personal, but everyone knows you're the weakest chef here.

Beet salad.

Oh my God! MICHAEL!

Yes, chef!

What's the beet salad for? It's not even on order.

(interview) What?! [chuckles] Michael, what? What are you doing?

(to Michael) It's like you're cooking for imaginary friends! It's not on order!

(interview; sighs)

Is it just to look busy?!

No, chef. I–I heard, chef. I made a mistake.

You heard it? You got little voices in your head?

Yes, chef.

Let me put one more in there. [whispers in Michael's ear] WAKE UP!

Yes, chef.

Now fuck off!
