You didn't go with truffle butter yet, right, Josh?
No, I did truffle butter! You're putting too much butter!
I didn't put butter in it!
You put a lot of butter. (interview) Adam's struggling on the risotto. He's very confused.
Risotto's up, ready to go whenever you guys are good!
You gotta get these hotter! You gotta let this reduce! (interview) Adam, come on, man. It's simple mistakes! What's going on, are you sleeping? Wake up for me!
It's coming right up, chef.
[brings risotto to the pass] Here you go.
[Gordon takes a spoon to taste the risotto before bringing it back into the kitchen]
Hey, look at my risotto. [holds pan up to show the risotto stuck to the bottom] Look, just stuck! Hey, it's glue! Glue!
(interview) Adam better tighten the fuck up. If you can't cook the risotto, you have no reason being in Hell's Kitchen.
Look at it! It's like a fucking clock! What am I supposed to do, hang it on the wall?!
A risotto clock, Joshua?!
That was me! That was me, chef!
With Bret's soggy salmon killing the blue team's momentum, over in the red kitchen...
Monique! You have to get all that done! Can you do it?!
I'm working it right now. I'm ready.
...Monique's struggles on garnish has the ladies' first order of wellingtons and lamb dying at the pass.
Have you tasted any of your garnish?
Yes, chef. I've been tasting.
[to Gordon as he checks the garnish] You all right with that?
[touches eggplant] It's fucking raw. (to red team) Hey! There's nothing worse than a bitter, raw eggplant, yeah? It's just solid! Just...[slams fist on table] it's just solid! Look!
Oh, yes. Oh y–Oh, YES?! OH, NO! IS ANYONE ENGAGING?!
[holds a salmon brought by Christine] Oh my God. Wait, wait. Wait! All of you!
Get your arses over here!
Undercooked rice. But here's the insult–I got raw salmon as well! It's fucking raw, it's not even pink!! Hey. Hey, all of you, come here! Come here.
[Gordon follows the red team into the pantry]
(interview) Like, seriously? Oh my God. I can't believe–I... [sighs]
What is going on?! That risotto was disgusting. Those salmon were raw. Who cooked that salmon, first off?!
I cooked the salmon, chef. I lost my train of thought, I should've just focused!
I swear to God, the next mistake, you're out of here.
I just have to put it out right, chef. I'm sorry. (interview) Lamb takes fifteen minutes, start to finish. So we're just fucking waiting. We're waiting and waiting.
This fucking lamb's still not cooked! STILL NOT COOKED!
How long, two chicken, two lamb?
No. It's one–one minute out.
Garnish, Milly, to the window!
Milly, I need you to wait another minute. I–I'm sorry. The lamb's just–it's not cooked yet.
So then don't tell us two minutes! Tell us four minutes! Don't lie to us! Don't lie to chef!
Did you just shut down the kitchen? Now we look like fucking idiots! I asked for one of you, two of you, three of you to start showing some leadership qualities! NO ONE'S STEPPING UP! WAKE UP!
[The red team start prepping chicken wings in the kitchen for punishment]
I look like a fucking moron right now. (interview) I'm not feeling so good after that loss. I don't like to fail and I don't like to be embarrassed. (to T) T, put that on there! It's not even fucking on! GAHHH!! This is like, no way. Seriously, it's nuts. (interview) I don't like this fucking horseshit that's happening in the red kitchen right now. (to red team) Come on, guys! Let's go, or I'm gonna fucking ride your ass!
Ugh! (interview) Meghan is just annoying! Like, we're already in the shit...
[Meghan brings the whole red team into the pantry]
Meghan, what is that look on your face about?
(interview) ...and she isn't helping! (to Meghan) What happened?
Are you kidding me?! This is fucking easy as shit! Correct?!
It's annoying, it's stupid!
I can't do this anymore, guys. Like, seriously...
I don't know how this is gonna work!
...I'm about to, like, fucking nominate myself so I can go the fuck home so I can stop being embarrassed. I'm fucking sick of this shit!
So done. (interview) I am not a quitter. But at the same time, I cannot handle it if we lose another service. I'm–I'm gonna, like, go through the fucking roof.
Two risotto walking in one minute!
I need a minute and a half!
Okay, Roger! Copy! One minute and a half on the scallops!
Scallops are not fucking cooking!!
(interview) I'm trying to put risotto out, but scallops was just not going anywhere. (to Nick) How long out on the scallops?
I already told you! ONE MINUTE!
Okay. Ready, walk risotto.
If I hear him say "risotto" one more time, I'm gonna cut my own dick off.
Come on, Nick! I need to plate the scallops!
Walking! Two scallops, chef.
[checks scallops] Scallops are overcooked. Fucking hell. They're rubber. [to blue team] Hey! Hey, hey! All of you, come here. Just touch them, how overcooked they are! We're waiting for them, yet they're overcooked! I don't get that!
We're gonna go with two more halibut in that pan.
No, they're right here. You only need four there, right? You have two there already done. (interview) Brendan and I are just cooking fish. It's a fucking free-for-all of fish! Fish everywhere! And they're all cooked improperly!
(to Brendan) Hey, can you have two halibut? How long? [pause] Can you just give me something, Brendan? Just something.
Guys, I need fucking help here!
(to Nick) No, you gotta help him! He's your partner!
We have to talk to him! It's a team effort!
I'm walking with two halibut!
[checks center of the halibut] Fucking hell. Hey, hey, hey.
All of you, come here. I'm gonna go fucking crazy. [separates fish with spatula] Raw. Raw, raw.
(interview) Brendan could not get it in the middle. Either it was overcooked or it was raw. Stop somewhere in the fucking middle and you'll be right!
What is this? [points at Nick and Brendan] You and you, fuck off! GET OUT! Milly, Bret get on fish!
Where's the fucking lamb?!
Slicing lamb now! I need a sizzle platter!
(to Josh) Hey, you! Come here, you! Bring that over. [shows Josh the bad platter of lamb] One third of them overcooked, and the center bits are raw. When you slice it and it's not right, wh–wh–what do you do?!
But no, you slice it more? Get out. GET OUT!
This year chefs get an early start on their Hell's Kitchen journey, and they couldn't be more exciting.
[chefs cheering]
(interview) I think my competition is going to get overwhelmed. I'm going to destroy everybody, nobody's even going to come close you're all going to cry to your mommies.
(New) Jersey. [audience applauds] (interview) I am the epitome of Jersey. I'm tough, I'm beautiful, I'm sexy. I will kick your ass and suck your dick all at the same time.
[removes lid] I have a seared scallop and grilled corn salsa.
[notices that there is only one scallop on the plate] Wow. Now, are we on a diet?
No. [some of the contestants laugh with the audience] I thought it looked nice with just one.
I thought I'd get more from a Jersey girl. Every time I've been there, man, they're generous.
[eats the scallop] I'd love to give it a four. I can't, there's only one scallop there. I'm gonna give it a three. Three out of five.
With Jackie having a respectable dish, Rhode Island culinary manager, Kevin, is putting his faith in his...
[facepalms] There's a reason why you don't put fresh, crisp salad on a hot pizza. [Eddie shakes his head] Honestly, it looks... terrible. The dough's uneven. How'd you make that dough so quick?
Um, it was a pre-prepared dough.
So you didn't make the dough?
And is it an authentic Caesar dressing?
Pre-made. [audience groans again; someone shouts at Gordon not to eat the food]
(interview, facepalms) Kevin!
Store-bought dough... store-bought Caesar salad dressing. Let me ask you something. Do you want to go home?
(interview) Oh, God. This is not good. [to Gordon] I'll do better, chef.
I will. I can show you I will.
One out of five. That's all you get. Terrible.
(to Alan) You fired on tuna?
(interview) I didn't hear any entrées fired up by Chef Ramsay, but he sounds confident. He sounds like, you know, he knows what he's talking about, so I'm gonna be as supportive as I can.
Let's go. Walking, walking, coming up. Coming up.
[accompanying Alan to bring food] You got two tuna.
AMAaron Mitrano
What are we doing?
AMAaron Mitrano
He (Alan) brought it up before you fired it, chef.
(to Alan) Hey, come here, you. Fucking bozo. Who called the entrée? [holds the cooked tuna into untimely mistake]
(to Alan and gives him a warning) WOULD YOU MIND WE SEND THE APPETIZERS FIRST?!
(interview) Alan, that's embarrassing. You are a fucking moron.
[putting Alan's already cooked tuna to the table] Big difference, order fire, order in fire, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. (to Alan) All right?
[checks squash brought by Vanessa] Oh, fuck me. [walks back to workstation] Hey, hey. Hey, all of you, come here. Who in the fuck just brought me that?
[slowly raises her hand] I did, chef.
It's like you shit all over the plate. It's even colder in the middle. [throws fork across workstation] Unreal!
(interview) What it came down to was the bitch lost her fucking mind and was, like, seeing stars.
I'm trying to breathe and cook at the same fucking time, and this is hard!
That's what we do! (interview) We're here to cook. If you can't cook, it's time for you to go.
AMAshley & Manda
Refire scallops!
Please, can somebody fucking help me?
All of you, ON THE APPETIZERS!
[After Gordon examined Alan's scallops and Mark's pizza]
They're cooked to fuck, those things. Who cooked the scallops?
They're fucking rubber! The first portion was perfect, and that was a fucking fluke 'cause that is shit. [returns the pizza to the workstation after found out it was burned] (to Mark) Hey, by the way, in England, we have a saying, "When it's brown, it's cooked. When it's black, it's fucked!" [drops a plate of pizza to a workstation onto an empty plate at the bottom shattering into pieces] Disgusting, and you bring me that shit? WHAT'S GOING ON?! [screenshot of Audrina Patridge waiting her food]
Alan's rubber scallops and Mark's burned pizza have brought the kitchen into the standstill.
No one's communicating, no one's stepping up, and no one's taking charge.
(to Frank) Frank, you got your own pizza?
Let's go, let's go, let's go. Get it back.
Pizza, coming up. (interview) I figured nobody else could do a better pizza than somebody who's 100 percent Italian from Brooklyn, New York.
Over in the blue kitchen...
Two risotto, one capellini, one special! Yes?!
...the men are still backed up on appetizers and have now put the tableside chefs in neutral...
Let me go check on them (the chefs inside the blue kitchen), I'll be right back.
...and so Jared and Eddie, in an attempt to be useful, head to the kitchen to offer their assistance.
Guys, talk to me? What do you boys need? What do you boys need?
MMark
I'm finishing off this risotto. Eddie!
(to Eddie while pointing on Mark's pan) Risotto!
(interview) I heard everything going on I was like, "You know they need help. I am going back in there". (in the kitchen) [holds a pan of risottos to be sent to the pass] Coming around hot, coming 'round hot.
(calling Eddie) Hey, hey, you, come here, you. Put it (the pan Eddie is holding) down. Who cooked this?
MMark
I started it, chef, Eddie finished it for me.
[Gordon quickly tastes the risotto, then spits it out after chewing it]
(to Mark and Eddie) Come here you, taste that! It's bland, the rice is still undercooked, disgusting!
(interview) Mark is not getting any of his dishes right. He looks like deer in headlights when he's getting yelled at. Bro, like wake up! Hello, you're here!
(to Mark) Come here. (to Eddie) You, come here. Sit down [let to sit him on the chef's table] and eat your shit. (to Eddie) Yes, take a seat, you must be tired if you're gonna fucking... (calls Marino) Uh, Marino!
Glass of sauvignon blanc for Chef Mark and Steady Eddie.
Hello, guys. And if I were you, I would actually eat it fast.
(interview) I swallowed the risotto just like I swallowed my pride. I still don't know how the hell I got roped into that, to be honest with you.
