Hell's Kitchen Season 10 quotes

Many years ago, when I first met Chef Ramsay, I told him I wanted to work for him so bad that I would shave my head. [holds up picture of himself with hair] This is what I looked like before I started working with Chef Ramsay. [some of the contestants laugh]

Wow.

Yesterday, Chef Ramsay was asking how I'm gonna test your commitment. I couldn't think of a better way than for you to do what I did eight years ago. (to Andi) Andi, please bring in the barber's chair.

(interview) This cannot be happening. Who wants to shave their head? What girl wants to shave their head?

I have even convinced Andi to make the same commitment.

(interview) No way. There's no way she's gonna cut her hair.

Oh, fuck it. I already beat you to it. [pulls wig off, revealed that she puts a bald cap above her head]

(interview) I don't want even to look him in the eye. Please don't cut my hair! please don't cut my hair! PLEASE DON'T CUT MY HAIR! PLEASE DON'T CUT MY HAIR!

(pause; points to Danielle) You?

SCOTT! [walks from a balcony] What the fuck is going down there? STOP, SCOTT!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

I'm sorry, chef.

[Letting Danielle be back in line] You, out of the chair! Back in line!

(interview) Yes, yes, thank God. Thank God, this is totally not gonna happen.

Enough's enough! I want all of you to get into the kitchens and cook me your signature dish! Let's go! [looks at Andi's "bald" head after the contestants run to both kitchens; to Scott] What the fuck happened to Andi?

Right, first name is?

Tavon.

Your position now is what?

Executive Chef at (Washington) D.C.

Wow. And how old are you?

I'm only 22.

You're only 22?

Yes.

And you're an executive chef running brigade of chefs?

Yes.

Well done. Amazing.

Thanks.

What is it? Jesus!

Shrimp scallops and crab with top of fettuccine noodles and alfredo sauce with whiskey infused.

How much vinegar you put in there?

A dime in a drizzle. A more in a drizzle.

It is really hideous. This red coming is really bad. I mean really bad.

Hey, all of you, come here!

Oh, man!

(interview) This is so bullshit! Wow!

I've had enough! Just touch these! (to Roshni) I mean honestly?

Sorry, chef.

Here we standing here forty-five minutes into service, we haven't got the fucking appetisers out. [Roshni throws the raw scallops in the bin] (to Roshni) Get out! Get out of there!

(holds the pan) No, chef! No!

Hey, look at me! look!

Please?

I'm not telling you one more time, get the fuck out of here! Fuck off upstairs! Get out! (to Barbie) Barbie! Get on the scallops! Cook me fucking scallops!

Yes, chef.

[exits the kitchen and throws her apron out] (interview) I've never ever walked off to the light and I'm always completed dinner service. (cries)

Fucking raw. [walks back to workstation] The pigeon's still raw! Hey, hey! Hey, all of you, stop! Look! This fucking pigeon's that raw it can still fly! Touch it! [hands plate back to Tavon] Stone-fucking-cold and raw! Come on!

(interview) Tavon couldn't cook a squab. He's just a fucking moron.

Are you seriously—You're an executive chef?

Yes, chef.

Yeah?

I actually am, yes.

How long for this table?

Four minutes on the squab, chef.

[returns to the pass] Fuck me!

Okay stop! You (points to Justin) don't touch another fucking scallop. Come here. Just touch these. Touch them! (Clemenza touches the scallops) Jesus Christ! [goes to Justin's station; finds that the scallops are poorly sliced] Why they're all broken? What the fuck have you done?

(interview) I'm working with scallops. They were complete shit. I was completely sabotaged.

Who sliced all these?

Someone else did my part, chef.

Who sliced the scallops? Chef has asked a question.

I did.

Come here you, executive chef. Come here. Look at these.[holds up some scallops] Expensive hand dived scallops. Look, you sabotaged them!

(interview) This is ugly. The scallops were just mutilated.

Hold on, it gets better. [shows a scallop ripped in half] Look at this one!

(interview) It looked like they got cut with a paper clip.

I mean FUCKING HELL! Look!

That's it. That's everything.

(interview) We're in trouble.

(to Tavon) You sliced all them! We haven't even served one fucking table! [knocks the workstation twice] They're all fucked! Look! Look! I've got a bunch of idiots here!

(to Tavon) Hey you, executive chef. Do you actually cook in your restaurants?

Yes, I did.

And do they do the same there?

Do we do what?

The same shit?

No, no.

So why are you doing it here?

I guess I froze, I mean.

You FROZE?

What else-what else do you want me to say?

You haven't even fucking defrosted! [Tavon laughs to himself] You think it's funny? All those fucking customers? Do me a favor.

Yeah?

Fuck off upstairs. Get out!

[laughing nervously] (interview) This is the first time I've ever been kicked out of the kitchen in my career. Chef Ramsay, you're a fucking douchebag.

One onion tart, one spaghetti, how long?

What are we waiting on? What do we got?

What are waiting on? I'm waiting on some fucking TALENT!!

Yes, chef.

THIS IS A FUCKING JOKE!!

Ladies, we got this! We got this, for real!

Oh, my God. I mean, seriously? [returns to the workstation] What in the fuck is that?

I guess not.

Who cooked that? Come here. The dough is still raw. Are you fucking for real? Do you want me to serve that out there?!

Christina Wilson

No, chef.

It's just a joke!

(interview) Damn it! We've got to push out the entrées! Christina's killing us right now.

Have you got another wellington?

Christina Wilson

Yes. (interview) That's the thing with baking wellingtons. You don't know until the end and there's nothing you can do. So I'm praying like, "Oh, one of these beef, they have to be okay."

[slices the pastry of a wellington] Look, that's raw. It's fucking raw.

(interview) Royce can make spaghetti. Royce can make squab. Royce can make everything! I got this.

Break a sweat, Royce!

Yes, chef.

We've got about a minute and a half on the pasta.

My spaghetti's coming up. I'm fucking ready, we're ready, let's go!

You sure that's done?

Yeah, yeah. We got it. It's good to go.

(interview) I worked for a pasta company that produces a million pounds of pasta a day. Royce, let me clue you in on a little something. That spaghetti ain't done!

[returns to the workstation; to Royce] Hey you, come here. Crunchy fucking spaghetti. Crunchy. You can just see it. Pick that up, look. Crunchy.

Sorry, chef. I'll have another one in thirty seconds.

Hey, hey. Get out!

I'll have another one in thirty seconds!

Hey, hey! Look at me! GET OUT!! Join the fucking exec upstairs! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!

Nearly two hours into dinner service, the women are stalled on the entrees.

[asking to the Red team] Chicken wellington, how long?

Five more minutes now, chef.

Christina Wilson

Five minutes.

And the men are still a mess with the appetizers.

I hope you're fucking proud of this, like a bunch of idiots here!

Come on guys, we need a down rally here.

(interview) Don is a living in his own world, he was wondering around not knowing what fuck not to do himself.

[holds the ticket] Two caesar salad, one onion tart, how long?

Onion tart working! Get on onion tart! Three right now! Three right now! [brings to the pass]

Check to see if they done, man.

Put the tray down. Put the fucking tray down. [checks the onion tart, sees that it's raw] Fucking RAW! [calling all remaining members of the blue team] All of you, ALL OF YOU!

Oh, shit.

RAW!

Fuck!

You (Chris Carrero) can't cook pastry. END OF THE DAY for me—GET OUT!!! All of you, GET OUT!

(interview) Never in my life having so embarrassed. Anybody who was on that line that wasn't embarrassed doesn't belong anywhere in the kitchen.

It's still the same fucking table, all of you come here.

Fuck me!

Look! (grabs a wellington) It's like fucking snot! There's just no thought! Shut it down and fucking clean up.

Yes, chef.

Fuck. [Gordon throws his towel on the workstation]

Patrick.

Yes, chef?

First nominee and why?

Our first nominee is Tavon. He was in charge of the hot appetizers, and the squab really set us off the wrong way, and he couldn't recover from those.

Yeah, he got screwed by a pigeon. [Christina smirks] Second nominee and why?

The second nominee, uh, is Don. [Don rolls his eyes]

Don?! Why? He didn't even cook. Not only did you put in a shit performance, but you came to a crap consensus! The two worst tonight: Tavon...and Royce. And now, [points to Tavon and Royce] you two can step forward. Let's go. [Tavon and Royce step forward] Tavon, tell me, from an executive chef's point of view, why you think you should stay in Hell's Kitchen. Hurry up.

I definitely knew that I was more of the reason that everything went down, and I took responsibility for everything that happened.

What would you rate your performance this evening? Line chef? Sous chef?

Probably a prep cook that got thrown onto the line.

Well, that's way off my estimate. I would have said dishwasher. On a fucking shit day. [Barbie chuckles]

Tavon may have been an executive chef at 22, but he did little to impress me in his short stay in Hell's Kitchen.

(examining Roshni's scallops) I've got all different sizes. Look, come here. There's mommy, there's daddy, there's a daughter, there's a son, and there's a baby. Fuck off! What's the matter with you? (Roshni heads back)

Fuck! (angrily slams his own towel on a workstration)
