Gordon, Seth and others in “Episode One”

Looks like lamb chops on a bed of ratatouille.

Uh, that's mine, chef. (interview) To be like Chef Ramsay is my dream. I've read his books, I've visited his restaurant in Manhattan. I think we have very similar styles.

How long have you been cooking?

15 years around.

And what is it?

That's cinnamon-crusted rack of lamb with a(n) aubergine ratatouille.

The ratatouille, what's in there?

Tomatoes, onion, tomato sauce, tomato paste.

[spits out food] How come the aubergine's so sweet?

There's some honey, uh...

Honey in a ratatouille? Uh, is that normal?

No, chef.

That's the worst dish I've ever tasted. [Seth laughs] 15 years to cook that shit, and you're laughing. You can make history on being the fastest exit in Hell's Kitchen. And I'm fucking serious, you know that. Back in line. [Seth goes back in line] The quicker you understand how serious I am, the quicker you'll cook better.

I'll try harder next time, sir. (interview) I thought it looked all right. I think my presentation was good. I know it's a good dish. I got to prove to him that I can cook my ass off.
