Hell's Kitchen · Season 4, Episode 1

Narrator, Gordon and others in “Episode One”

With Rosann's dish receiving a good review from Chef Ramsay, things might be looking up.

[reveals Petrozza's dish, which is a whole pumpkin] Oh, fuck me...

...Or are they?

What in the fuck? Happy Halloween?

(interview) People ask me what my speciality is. But, I don't have a speciality; I can cook anything.

What is that?

There's a Cornish hen inside, Chef.

A Cornish hen? What'd you do to it to get it in there?

It got in there-- I got it in-- I got it in there.

Holy shit. [removes the pumpkin] These are potatoes?

Yes, sir.

In how much grease and fat and oil did you fry them?

There's some butter in there.

[holding up a dripping pile of potatoes] Some butter in that?

That's a lot of butter.

Well, just stop there. That goes in there. [scrapes the potatoes into the bin] And let's see what we got for trick-or-treat, shall we?

Okay.

[removes the top of the pumpkin] Oh, my God... How do you get in there and eat it? I mean, am I missing a trick?

It's plated tableside.

Oh.

It's- it's presented like that.

Alright, off you go. Take your time. [Petrozza splits the pumpkin open, revealing a greasy blob of meat] Oh, my God. Okay, stop right there. I don't think I'll get through that, do you?

Okay, no.

So, what's the, uh... dish called?

Hen in a pumpkin.

Right now, looking at that mess, I'd like to stick your fucking head in there, you know that? [tastes the dish] It's dry.

Yeah, well...

And the pumpkin's not even seasoned inside, it's just bland! You'd have more of a chance sticking a candle in there for Halloween to make me happy than you would sticking a hen in there. Fuck off.

(interview) Chef Ramsay said he was looking for something memorable. And I believe my dish was memorable.
