1
00:00:00,653 --> 00:00:04,299
(Gordon)
This place will make
or break you.
2
00:00:04,947 --> 00:00:08,833
(Graham)
Realize the seriousness
of this moment.
3
00:00:08,901 --> 00:00:12,987
(Joe)
We want to see who can put
perfection on a plate.
4
00:00:13,071 --> 00:00:16,073
(Gordon)
Is there anyone that thinks
5
00:00:16,125 --> 00:00:18,459
they are
the next MasterChef?
6
00:00:18,527 --> 00:00:20,895
[Cheers and applause]
7
00:00:20,963 --> 00:00:22,530
[All chanting MasterChef]
8
00:00:22,598 --> 00:00:24,132
(Male narrator)
It began with home cooks
9
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:25,166
from across America.
10
00:00:25,250 --> 00:00:26,400
Where are you from?
Chicago.
11
00:00:26,468 --> 00:00:27,435
Maryland.
From Charlesville, Virginia.
12
00:00:27,503 --> 00:00:28,970
14th Street in Manhattan.
13
00:00:29,037 --> 00:00:31,072
(Narrator)
All of them with one dream.
14
00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:32,306
I'm gonna be
the next MasterChef.
15
00:00:32,374 --> 00:00:34,108
I am the next MasterChef.
16
00:00:34,176 --> 00:00:35,877
I am the next MasterChef.
17
00:00:35,944 --> 00:00:38,062
You're looking
at America's next MasterChef.
18
00:00:38,129 --> 00:00:39,947
MasterChef,
here I come.
19
00:00:40,015 --> 00:00:42,934
(Narrator)
Thousands upon thousands
lined up with their very best
20
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:44,602
on a plate.
21
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:45,937
I know I can win this thing.
22
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:47,071
(Narrator)
Every one of them hungry
23
00:00:47,139 --> 00:00:48,973
for the coveted title
of MasterChef.
24
00:00:49,041 --> 00:00:51,242
I need this so bad!
25
00:00:51,310 --> 00:00:53,728
(Narrator)
And $1/4 million cash prize.
26
00:00:55,948 --> 00:00:57,515
But to get it,
they'll have to face
27
00:00:57,583 --> 00:00:59,350
three of the toughest figures
28
00:00:59,401 --> 00:01:00,868
in the culinary world.
29
00:01:00,953 --> 00:01:02,637
I'm Graham Elliot.
30
00:01:02,721 --> 00:01:05,523
At 27, I became America's
youngest four-star chef.
31
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:08,109
Believe me, I know a thing
or two about cooking
32
00:01:08,193 --> 00:01:09,360
and eating.
33
00:01:09,411 --> 00:01:11,429
My name is Joe Bastianich.
34
00:01:11,496 --> 00:01:13,214
I own 24 of the best Italian
restaurants in the world
35
00:01:13,298 --> 00:01:15,183
and three award-winning
Italian wineries.
36
00:01:15,267 --> 00:01:18,002
I'm gonna tell you
how it really is.
37
00:01:18,053 --> 00:01:19,737
And then there's me,
Gordon Ramsay.
38
00:01:19,804 --> 00:01:22,673
I've got over 20 restaurants
with 12 Michelin stars,
39
00:01:22,724 --> 00:01:23,925
and there's nothing
that I don't know about food.
40
00:01:23,992 --> 00:01:25,142
[Cheers and applause]
41
00:01:25,194 --> 00:01:26,227
(Narrator)
The competitors
42
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:27,395
will battle it out
in the toughest
43
00:01:27,462 --> 00:01:30,748
of challenges
until just one remains.
44
00:01:30,816 --> 00:01:31,933
(Gordon)Be the best or go home.
45
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,284
(Narrator)
They'll cater for critics
46
00:01:33,352 --> 00:01:35,169
of all shapes and sizes.
47
00:01:35,237 --> 00:01:36,804
It's raw inside.
I'm not eating this.
48
00:01:36,889 --> 00:01:38,639
Do you prefer the red team
or the blue team?
49
00:01:38,724 --> 00:01:40,374
Red team!
50
00:01:40,442 --> 00:01:42,476
(Narrator) They'll even feed
the judges' moms.
51
00:01:42,544 --> 00:01:44,378
Smile, mom. You're scaring
all the contestants.
52
00:01:44,446 --> 00:01:46,147
(Narrator)
Some will rise.
53
00:01:46,215 --> 00:01:49,300
Let's turn it on.
(Narrator)
But most will go down in flames.
54
00:01:49,368 --> 00:01:51,736
I would send you home now.
(Narrator)
And after weeks of blood...
55
00:01:51,803 --> 00:01:52,670
You're giving up?
(Narrator)
Sweat...
56
00:01:52,738 --> 00:01:54,639
This is a mission.
57
00:01:54,690 --> 00:01:56,040
(Narrator)
And tears...
Why don't you cook like this
58
00:01:56,108 --> 00:01:57,608
all the time?
59
00:01:57,676 --> 00:01:59,043
(Narrator)
Only one of them
will win.
60
00:01:59,111 --> 00:02:02,663
But first, 100 home cooks
will get the chance
61
00:02:02,748 --> 00:02:05,482
to present one dish
that could change their lives
62
00:02:05,534 --> 00:02:07,084
forever.
63
00:02:07,135 --> 00:02:08,903
Just an elite few
will win an apron
64
00:02:08,987 --> 00:02:10,554
and earn a spot
65
00:02:10,606 --> 00:02:11,923
in the next round.
66
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:14,124
And only the very best
67
00:02:14,176 --> 00:02:18,145
will be crowned
America's next MasterChef.
68
00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:22,166
[Cheers and applause]
69
00:02:22,191 --> 00:02:26,191

Original Air Date on June 6, 2011

== sync, corrected by elderman ==
71
00:02:31,677 --> 00:02:33,410
Thank you.
72
00:02:33,462 --> 00:02:34,662
Thank you.
73
00:02:34,746 --> 00:02:35,963
Welcome to MasterChef.
74
00:02:36,048 --> 00:02:38,048
I'm Gordon Ramsay.
75
00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:40,935
I'm Joe Bastianich.
76
00:02:41,003 --> 00:02:42,019
And I'm Graham Elliot.
77
00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:45,339
[Cheers and applause]
78
00:02:47,376 --> 00:02:50,861
Now, you're all here
because you want to become
79
00:02:50,912 --> 00:02:52,596
the next MasterChef.
80
00:02:52,664 --> 00:02:54,765
Trust me,
81
00:02:54,833 --> 00:02:58,268
wanting it is not enough.
82
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,605
You've got to do more.
83
00:03:01,657 --> 00:03:02,773
You have to become
84
00:03:02,824 --> 00:03:05,376
culinary perfection.
85
00:03:06,962 --> 00:03:08,145
Think about it.
86
00:03:08,213 --> 00:03:12,717
This is not just
about the money.
87
00:03:12,784 --> 00:03:15,169
At the end of this journey,
88
00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:18,489
one of you will have earned
the title that money can't buy.
89
00:03:20,208 --> 00:03:22,727
And that's America's
next MasterChef.
90
00:03:22,794 --> 00:03:25,212
[Cheers and applause]
91
00:03:29,151 --> 00:03:30,467
So listen up,
the restaurant business
92
00:03:30,519 --> 00:03:32,703
is democratic.
93
00:03:32,771 --> 00:03:36,540
If your food is bad,
people won't come back.
94
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:39,443
We run 50 of the world's
best restaurants.
95
00:03:39,494 --> 00:03:42,797
And if we sayyour food is good or bad,
96
00:03:42,881 --> 00:03:44,465
we're right.
97
00:03:45,801 --> 00:03:47,585
You all know
what this is.
98
00:03:47,636 --> 00:03:50,855
And sadly, you guys
don't get one just for trying.
99
00:03:53,925 --> 00:03:58,662
You get one by impressing
the hell out of these guys.
100
00:03:58,730 --> 00:04:01,082
By making a dish
that's equal parts delicious,
101
00:04:01,149 --> 00:04:05,002
creative,
and has a lot of skill.
102
00:04:09,107 --> 00:04:10,107
Listen, it's clear.
103
00:04:10,158 --> 00:04:12,026
Nobody ever talks
104
00:04:12,110 --> 00:04:13,544
about the second-best dish
they've ever tasted.
105
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:18,999
And there's no award for
the second-best chef anywhere.
106
00:04:20,936 --> 00:04:23,070
Be the best or go home.
107
00:04:23,138 --> 00:04:28,659
Is there anyone
in this room now
108
00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:32,146
that thinks
they are the next MasterChef?
109
00:04:32,230 --> 00:04:35,199
[Cheers]
110
00:04:38,403 --> 00:04:39,904
Trust me.
111
00:04:39,955 --> 00:04:42,306
We will be the ultimate judge
of that.
112
00:04:44,159 --> 00:04:45,843
Good luck to you all.
113
00:04:45,894 --> 00:04:47,278
Thank you, chef.
114
00:04:47,329 --> 00:04:50,898
[Cheers and applause]
115
00:04:56,988 --> 00:04:58,322
Cast iron, baby.
116
00:04:58,373 --> 00:04:59,774
(Narrator)
From the thousands who applied,
117
00:04:59,858 --> 00:05:02,676
100 home cooks have been invited
to Los Angeles.
118
00:05:02,761 --> 00:05:04,378
They'll have just one hour
119
00:05:04,463 --> 00:05:06,163
to create a signature dish
120
00:05:06,214 --> 00:05:08,032
worthy of a MasterChef apron.
121
00:05:08,083 --> 00:05:10,734
Former beauty queen Jennifer
122
00:05:10,786 --> 00:05:12,470
is the first
to face the judges.
123
00:05:12,537 --> 00:05:15,372
Hopefully they like spice,
because I'm spicy to begin with,
124
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,824
so...
[Laughs, snorts]
125
00:05:16,908 --> 00:05:18,909
My passion for cooking
came from the fact
126
00:05:18,977 --> 00:05:23,347
that my mother was definitely
the 15 minutes in the microwave,
127
00:05:23,398 --> 00:05:25,900
so I started to discover food
on my own.
128
00:05:25,984 --> 00:05:28,586
Because I couldn't eat one more
thing of Salisbury steak.
129
00:05:28,637 --> 00:05:30,187
[Laughs]
130
00:05:30,255 --> 00:05:34,358
I describe myself
kind of a boy with boobs
131
00:05:34,425 --> 00:05:37,144
that loves to wear high heels
and put makeup on.
132
00:05:37,229 --> 00:05:38,846
I'm a competitive person
by nature.
133
00:05:38,930 --> 00:05:40,764
I won Miss Delaware, USA.
134
00:05:40,816 --> 00:05:43,967
I walked in a swimsuit
on national television
135
00:05:44,019 --> 00:05:46,904
in five-inch heels.
136
00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,457
I'm at the point in my life
137
00:05:49,541 --> 00:05:51,525
where I need to follow
exactly what I love.
138
00:05:51,610 --> 00:05:53,561
I came here to win.
139
00:05:53,645 --> 00:05:55,062
[Glass breaking]
140
00:05:55,147 --> 00:05:57,031
[Laughs]
141
00:05:57,115 --> 00:05:58,816
Don't let the blonde hair
and the nice smile
142
00:05:58,867 --> 00:06:00,801
and high heels fool you.
143
00:06:00,886 --> 00:06:02,620
(Narrator)
Each home cook is given
144
00:06:02,687 --> 00:06:05,156
just five minutes
to plate up their dish.
145
00:06:05,207 --> 00:06:07,892
If two of the three judges think
they have what it takes,
146
00:06:07,943 --> 00:06:09,894
they'll win
a coveted MasterChef apron
147
00:06:09,945 --> 00:06:12,913
and move on to the next stage
of the competition.
148
00:06:12,998 --> 00:06:14,365
Hello.
Gentlemen, how are you?
149
00:06:14,432 --> 00:06:15,766
Fine.
How are you?
150
00:06:15,817 --> 00:06:17,117
I'm excellent.
Thank you very much.
151
00:06:17,202 --> 00:06:18,068
First name is?
My name is Jenny.
152
00:06:18,119 --> 00:06:19,069
Jennifer, can you take
153
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,120
your granddad's hat off
154
00:06:20,205 --> 00:06:21,121
so I can see you?
155
00:06:21,206 --> 00:06:22,289
Absolutely.
156
00:06:22,374 --> 00:06:24,124
It is my granddad's hat
actually.
157
00:06:24,209 --> 00:06:25,809
[Laughs]
What are you cooking for us?
158
00:06:25,861 --> 00:06:28,112
I'm making
a coconut curry lentil soup
159
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:30,030
garnished
with some spicy shrimp.
160
00:06:30,115 --> 00:06:31,849
I toasted up
all the spices,
161
00:06:31,916 --> 00:06:33,100
put 'em to the side,
162
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:35,269
and then I layered
the flavors in slowly
163
00:06:35,353 --> 00:06:37,838
so that way we get
a really good base for it.
164
00:06:37,906 --> 00:06:39,156
Put a little bit of tomatopaste in the underlying
165
00:06:39,207 --> 00:06:40,574
to kind of give itthat background.
166
00:06:40,659 --> 00:06:43,077
You sound like a chef.
Yeah, so like a real curry.
167
00:06:43,161 --> 00:06:45,329
Not just opening up the tub
and spooning it in.
168
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:46,496
Yeah, I sprinkled curry in there
169
00:06:46,548 --> 00:06:47,531
and then created it
from scratch.
170
00:06:47,582 --> 00:06:48,799
(Graham)Great.
171
00:06:48,850 --> 00:06:50,217
Okay.
172
00:06:50,285 --> 00:06:51,919
Give me an insightbehind the sauce.
173
00:06:51,987 --> 00:06:54,738
What's in there?I toasted up all turmeric,
174
00:06:54,806 --> 00:06:56,941
a little bit of cumin,a little bit of sriracha.
175
00:06:57,008 --> 00:06:58,042
Like a tint of sriracha
in there.
176
00:06:58,109 --> 00:06:59,043
Are they carrots?
177
00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:00,294
Yes, they are.
178
00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:01,345
A little bit
of carrots in there.
179
00:07:06,251 --> 00:07:08,919
Have you ever been
to India?
180
00:07:08,987 --> 00:07:09,937
I've not.
181
00:07:10,021 --> 00:07:11,906
Well, they don't put carrots
182
00:07:11,990 --> 00:07:13,924
with shrimp,
that's for sure.
183
00:07:13,992 --> 00:07:15,425
Why the carrot?
Help me.
184
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:17,328
When I eat soup,
I want some heartiness to it.
185
00:07:17,379 --> 00:07:18,812
And that's some heartiness
and meat into it.
186
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:20,564
Okay.
[Bleep].
187
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:29,940
I love the shrimp.
188
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:31,709
You know, the fact
that they melt in your mouth,
189
00:07:31,776 --> 00:07:33,911
there's a little bit of
the spice that goes with them.
190
00:07:33,962 --> 00:07:35,512
All of that comes together,
and it's something
191
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,114
that I would like
to eat a bowl of.
192
00:07:37,165 --> 00:07:38,666
Great.
Thank you.
193
00:07:54,532 --> 00:07:56,133
(Gordon)Graham?
194
00:07:56,201 --> 00:07:58,469
Just the fact that you made
your own curry
195
00:07:58,536 --> 00:07:59,870
and you knew the different steps
196
00:07:59,937 --> 00:08:02,406
of toasting out the spices,
then adding
197
00:08:02,473 --> 00:08:03,857
your onion,some tomato product,
198
00:08:03,942 --> 00:08:05,025
you know how to cook.
199
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:06,577
So I'd say yes.
200
00:08:06,645 --> 00:08:08,312
I want to see
what else you can do.
201
00:08:08,363 --> 00:08:09,463
(Joe)Wow, you believe.
202
00:08:09,531 --> 00:08:10,948
I believe.
I do.
203
00:08:11,016 --> 00:08:12,650
(Gordon)Joe, yes or no?
204
00:08:14,119 --> 00:08:16,236
I can do this, Joe.
205
00:08:16,321 --> 00:08:18,339
I think
that the actual consistency
206
00:08:18,423 --> 00:08:20,524
of the dish,it's a failure.
207
00:08:20,592 --> 00:08:22,593
And I'm gonna vote no.
208
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:24,445
No.
209
00:08:24,512 --> 00:08:25,696
Okay.
210
00:08:25,747 --> 00:08:29,700
The curry's not fantastic.
211
00:08:29,751 --> 00:08:31,235
The shrimps are delicious.
212
00:08:31,303 --> 00:08:35,155
My worry with you is that you
are almost playing at it.
213
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,123
As opposed to...
No.
214
00:08:36,191 --> 00:08:37,474
Focusing at it.
215
00:08:37,525 --> 00:08:39,526
Absolutely not.
I have it in me.
216
00:08:39,611 --> 00:08:41,028
I have the passion in me.
I know I do.
217
00:08:41,096 --> 00:08:42,412
This is what I love to do.
218
00:08:42,464 --> 00:08:43,514
I love to cook.
219
00:08:43,581 --> 00:08:45,466
[Sighs]
220
00:08:45,550 --> 00:08:47,685
Give me this opportunity
and I will prove it to you.
221
00:08:47,736 --> 00:08:50,721
I think...
222
00:08:50,772 --> 00:08:52,222
You have a lot
of determination.
223
00:08:53,692 --> 00:08:55,576
You're getting an apron.
224
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:57,494
Step up to the mark.
225
00:08:57,545 --> 00:08:59,747
[Speaks indistinctly]
226
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:01,031
Okay. Good luck.
Thank you.
227
00:09:01,099 --> 00:09:02,700
Get serious, yes?
228
00:09:02,751 --> 00:09:03,951
It's a very tough game.
229
00:09:04,035 --> 00:09:05,469
Gah!
230
00:09:06,838 --> 00:09:08,572
[Laughs]
231
00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:10,991
[Cheers and applause]
232
00:09:12,777 --> 00:09:14,812
You don't like curry.
I think the dish is rehearsed.
233
00:09:14,863 --> 00:09:15,946
I think it's a fake.
234
00:09:16,014 --> 00:09:16,897
And I think
she fooled you both.
235
00:09:16,981 --> 00:09:18,382
Snob.
We'll see.
236
00:09:18,449 --> 00:09:19,783
You'll see.
Whoo!
237
00:09:19,834 --> 00:09:21,985
The competition
begins right now.
238
00:09:22,053 --> 00:09:23,404
You better believe it.
I'm gonna bring it on.
239
00:09:23,488 --> 00:09:25,389
And today is just the beginning
240
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,125
of a long road
to be a MasterChef.
241
00:09:28,176 --> 00:09:29,259
(Narrator)
Jennifer snags
242
00:09:29,310 --> 00:09:31,311
the first apron
of the competition.
243
00:09:31,396 --> 00:09:34,948
But not everyone has the recipe
for MasterChef success.
244
00:09:35,016 --> 00:09:37,651
Because I'm not time-oriented.
245
00:09:37,736 --> 00:09:39,319
I'm always, like,
in the la-la land.
246
00:09:39,387 --> 00:09:40,587
What are you cooking?
247
00:09:40,672 --> 00:09:41,972
I am cooking a fresh,
248
00:09:42,039 --> 00:09:43,374
herb-roasted rack
of venison.
249
00:09:43,425 --> 00:09:47,978
A fiesta lime--
um, it's like chicken fajitas.
250
00:09:48,045 --> 00:09:50,447
Or it could be a burrito.
251
00:09:50,498 --> 00:09:53,033
Stacked salmon with filling.
252
00:09:53,118 --> 00:09:54,518
A deviled egg
with beef tartare in it.
253
00:09:54,585 --> 00:09:56,220
And then a stuffed salmon.
254
00:09:56,287 --> 00:10:00,391
And tuna tartare in the style
of, like, a tuna salad sandwich.
255
00:10:00,442 --> 00:10:03,226
And I'm gonna top that off
with a nice bourbon cream sauce.
256
00:10:03,278 --> 00:10:04,595
Have you been drinking that?
257
00:10:04,646 --> 00:10:05,879
Well, I had a couple shots
while I was cooking.
258
00:10:05,964 --> 00:10:07,648
I'm kind of freaked out
before we even start.
259
00:10:07,716 --> 00:10:09,499
I told my husband,
"you know what?
260
00:10:09,551 --> 00:10:11,985
I think I'm a peacock,
and I need to fly."
261
00:10:14,489 --> 00:10:17,274
The texture on the yolk
I'm not digging.
262
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:19,593
I feel like I'm eating a tire.
Disgusting.
263
00:10:19,677 --> 00:10:21,328
You're a lucky man
264
00:10:21,413 --> 00:10:23,947
that you haven't
[bleep] killed somebody.
265
00:10:24,015 --> 00:10:26,984
Raspberries, salmon,chipotle, grits.
266
00:10:27,051 --> 00:10:28,352
Damn.
267
00:10:28,403 --> 00:10:29,603
It's like you're wearing
the wrong clothes
268
00:10:29,687 --> 00:10:31,805
and putting lipstick
on your big toe.
269
00:10:31,873 --> 00:10:32,923
Oh, okay.
270
00:10:32,974 --> 00:10:34,208
(Gordon)
For me it's a no.
271
00:10:34,292 --> 00:10:35,409
[Coughs]
272
00:10:35,493 --> 00:10:37,244
I need a water.
273
00:10:37,328 --> 00:10:38,929
[Coughing]
274
00:10:38,996 --> 00:10:41,582
[Laughs]
[Joe continues to cough]
275
00:10:41,649 --> 00:10:43,083
(Graham)So why MasterChef?
276
00:10:43,151 --> 00:10:44,668
What do you think
you bring to the competition?
277
00:10:44,719 --> 00:10:46,804
Umm...
278
00:10:46,855 --> 00:10:50,090
I can bring drive and energy.
279
00:10:50,175 --> 00:10:53,143
Good. Run down there, touch the
MasterChef logo and shoot back.
280
00:10:53,211 --> 00:10:54,812
Off you go.
Hurry up!
281
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:56,180
And back!
282
00:10:56,231 --> 00:10:57,814
And go.
283
00:10:57,866 --> 00:11:00,317
One, two, three.
284
00:11:00,368 --> 00:11:01,635
Sprint!Sprint!
285
00:11:01,703 --> 00:11:02,753
How are you feeling?
286
00:11:02,804 --> 00:11:05,188
Good.
For me, it's a no.
287
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,791
(Narrator)
After a run of epic failures,
288
00:11:07,859 --> 00:11:12,296
can a trucker turn things around
with his unusual ingredient?
289
00:11:12,347 --> 00:11:13,697
Got to roll the sleeves up.
290
00:11:13,765 --> 00:11:16,700
My name is Albert.
I live in kiln, Mississippi.
291
00:11:16,768 --> 00:11:20,003
And I am
a heavy equipment operator/
292
00:11:20,071 --> 00:11:21,155
commercial truck driver.
293
00:11:23,608 --> 00:11:26,743
I will make a jambalaya
with alligator and sausage.
294
00:11:26,795 --> 00:11:29,246
The closest thing
that would taste
295
00:11:29,314 --> 00:11:30,998
like alligator would be toad.
296
00:11:31,082 --> 00:11:32,499
[Cheers and applause]
297
00:11:32,584 --> 00:11:33,584
Get at it.
298
00:11:33,635 --> 00:11:34,935
I want to prove
to the nation
299
00:11:35,019 --> 00:11:36,220
that I am the MasterChef.
300
00:11:36,271 --> 00:11:38,138
And it would financially
301
00:11:38,223 --> 00:11:39,306
stable me.
302
00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:41,625
Katrina hit in 2005.
303
00:11:41,676 --> 00:11:43,594
I've built a new house.
Not quite finished it.
304
00:11:43,661 --> 00:11:45,262
There is a lot
at stake for me.
305
00:11:48,433 --> 00:11:49,583
I'm here,
and I'm ready.
306
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:51,268
First name is?
Albert.
307
00:11:51,335 --> 00:11:52,703
You're well camouflaged.
308
00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:55,489
I'm a redneck concoction.
I had to be camouflaged.
309
00:11:55,557 --> 00:11:57,674
Excellent. Okay, Albert,
start cooking, buddy.
310
00:11:57,725 --> 00:11:59,476
You got five minutes.
Okay, chefs.
311
00:11:59,544 --> 00:12:02,946
I have prepared
a triple-tailed gator.
312
00:12:03,014 --> 00:12:05,332
It's alligator three ways.
313
00:12:05,416 --> 00:12:07,651
(Gordon)
Are you a big fan of alligator?
314
00:12:07,702 --> 00:12:09,520
If it's got two legs
or four legs,
315
00:12:09,571 --> 00:12:11,305
I'm not scared of it.I'll cook, 'coon, rattlesnake,
316
00:12:11,389 --> 00:12:12,723
bobcat.
317
00:12:12,790 --> 00:12:14,424
What don't you eat,
Albert?
318
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:19,162
Possum.
[Laughter]
319
00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:21,465
Draw the line at possum.
I draw the line at possum.
320
00:12:21,533 --> 00:12:22,566
What's that
on your chest there?
321
00:12:22,617 --> 00:12:24,067
What is that?
322
00:12:24,118 --> 00:12:25,652
Oh, that is a tattoo
of an eagle
323
00:12:25,737 --> 00:12:26,870
with a Harley Davidson banner
on it.
324
00:12:26,938 --> 00:12:29,172
Uh.
I've got one on my butt.
325
00:12:29,224 --> 00:12:30,807
Would you like to see it?
Yes, please.
326
00:12:30,875 --> 00:12:31,975
[Laughter]
327
00:12:32,043 --> 00:12:33,227
Not too close.
328
00:12:33,294 --> 00:12:34,127
Just from a distance.
Okay.
329
00:12:34,195 --> 00:12:35,779
You want to see the devil?
330
00:12:35,830 --> 00:12:37,447
There's the devil.
331
00:12:37,498 --> 00:12:38,949
Whoo!
332
00:12:39,016 --> 00:12:41,184
[Laughter]
All right.
333
00:12:41,252 --> 00:12:42,719
Can you please wash your hands
334
00:12:42,787 --> 00:12:43,954
before you continue plating
that dish?
335
00:12:44,021 --> 00:12:46,106
[Laughter]
336
00:12:48,977 --> 00:12:50,944
(Graham)Now is this somethingthat you serve often
337
00:12:51,012 --> 00:12:52,179
for the family
or for friends?
338
00:12:52,263 --> 00:12:54,498
Alligator,
certain time of the season,
339
00:12:54,565 --> 00:12:55,782
we'll get it around home,
you know.
340
00:12:55,850 --> 00:12:56,900
Do you live
in the bush?
341
00:12:56,951 --> 00:12:58,435
I live in the woods
you could say.
342
00:12:58,502 --> 00:12:59,669
In the tree or...
343
00:12:59,721 --> 00:13:01,471
Oh, no.
Why, no, sir.
344
00:13:01,539 --> 00:13:05,259
[Laughter]
345
00:13:05,326 --> 00:13:07,010
Finished?
It's done.
346
00:13:07,061 --> 00:13:08,478
Okay.
347
00:13:08,529 --> 00:13:10,714
Explain the dish, please.
348
00:13:10,765 --> 00:13:13,033
A sausage and alligator
jambalaya.
349
00:13:13,101 --> 00:13:14,768
There's a fried alligator
medallion on the side.
350
00:13:14,836 --> 00:13:16,820
And a coubillon.
351
00:13:16,871 --> 00:13:19,139
Cooking alligator's difficult.
352
00:13:19,223 --> 00:13:21,508
Incredibly lean.
Hardly any fat.
353
00:13:21,593 --> 00:13:24,628
Can deliver
a really good flavor.
354
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,546
Like you said,
it is hard to cook alligator.
355
00:13:26,631 --> 00:13:27,748
That's probably
the best alligator
356
00:13:27,832 --> 00:13:29,333
ever cooked in an hour.
357
00:13:50,305 --> 00:13:51,939
So this is my first experience
358
00:13:52,006 --> 00:13:54,024
eating a reptile.
359
00:14:25,772 --> 00:14:29,425
That dish resembles you
100%.
360
00:14:29,492 --> 00:14:33,312
Like a big, overgrown mess.
361
00:14:34,581 --> 00:14:37,683
I thought
this was a joke.
362
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:40,353
And when I tasted it...
363
00:14:41,722 --> 00:14:43,289
It's delicious.
364
00:14:43,373 --> 00:14:47,426
The stock is soulful,
complex, layers.
365
00:14:47,511 --> 00:14:50,329
The alligator
is toothsome and flavorful.
366
00:14:50,414 --> 00:14:52,214
And it's really,
really great.
367
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:53,883
(Gordon)You've delivered.
368
00:14:53,951 --> 00:14:55,318
There's a flavor there.
369
00:14:55,369 --> 00:14:57,069
You have surprised us.
370
00:14:57,137 --> 00:14:58,955
I'll tell you,
I am gonna give it my shot,
371
00:14:59,006 --> 00:15:01,207
and I will do
whatever it takes to become
372
00:15:01,291 --> 00:15:02,658
the next MasterChef.
373
00:15:02,709 --> 00:15:04,794
I'm a yes.
374
00:15:04,861 --> 00:15:05,895
Graham?
I'm a yes.
375
00:15:05,962 --> 00:15:07,046
You heard my vote.
376
00:15:07,130 --> 00:15:08,497
You're a yes, man.
377
00:15:08,548 --> 00:15:10,132
All right!
Yes!
378
00:15:10,183 --> 00:15:11,200
(Gordon)Come here.
Thank you.
379
00:15:11,268 --> 00:15:12,568
Congratulations.
380
00:15:12,636 --> 00:15:14,637
Oh, yes.
See you later, alligator.
381
00:15:14,688 --> 00:15:15,671
Yeah? Okay.
You got it.
382
00:15:15,722 --> 00:15:17,657
Thank you, chef.
383
00:15:17,741 --> 00:15:18,641
Okay, and do me a favor,
hey?
384
00:15:18,692 --> 00:15:19,625
Keep those pants up.
385
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:21,043
[Laughter]
386
00:15:21,094 --> 00:15:23,396
If you say so,
you got it.
387
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,913
Albert Dundee.
388
00:15:24,965 --> 00:15:26,365
Holy crap.
389
00:15:26,450 --> 00:15:28,367
[Cheers and applause]
390
00:15:29,986 --> 00:15:31,120
(Gordon)
I think it was the first time
391
00:15:31,171 --> 00:15:32,321
he's been down from a tree
in a year.
392
00:15:32,372 --> 00:15:33,539
Yay!
393
00:15:33,624 --> 00:15:35,324
Out of the bush
comes the dish of the day.
394
00:15:35,375 --> 00:15:36,926
I swear to God.
395
00:15:36,977 --> 00:15:38,794
I will give you this much
about Gordon Ramsay.
396
00:15:38,845 --> 00:15:40,429
He's a son of a bitch,
397
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,348
but he is
an honest son of a bitch
398
00:15:42,432 --> 00:15:43,983
because he shoots you
like it is
399
00:15:44,067 --> 00:15:45,434
and he's not gonna [bleep].
400
00:15:45,485 --> 00:15:47,453
Nailed it!
Nailed it!
401
00:15:47,537 --> 00:15:49,822
(Narrator)
Albert worked his butt off
for an apron.
402
00:15:49,906 --> 00:15:52,808
While those who follow
quickly go down in flames.
403
00:15:52,859 --> 00:15:55,294
That is hideous.
404
00:15:55,362 --> 00:15:56,762
Completely dry, overcooked,
and unedible.
405
00:15:58,031 --> 00:15:58,998
Uhh.
406
00:15:59,082 --> 00:16:01,283
[Bleep].
[Bleep].
407
00:16:01,351 --> 00:16:02,418
Definitely no.
No.
408
00:16:02,469 --> 00:16:04,036
I'm sorry.
409
00:16:04,104 --> 00:16:06,472
(All)Aww.
410
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:08,590
Dehydrated dog's turd.
411
00:16:08,642 --> 00:16:09,925
Look at it.
[Bleep].
412
00:16:09,977 --> 00:16:11,777
(Narrator)
After a run
413
00:16:11,862 --> 00:16:14,196
of disastrous dishes,
414
00:16:14,247 --> 00:16:16,499
can a Boston firefighter
smoke the competition?
415
00:16:16,566 --> 00:16:19,035
My name's Mike,
I'm from Milton, Massachusetts,
416
00:16:19,102 --> 00:16:20,903
and I'm
a fire department lieutenant.
417
00:16:20,971 --> 00:16:22,571
[Horn honks]
A typical day in the firehouse
418
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:24,407
can be from one extreme
to the other.
419
00:16:24,474 --> 00:16:26,676
[Sirens wailing]
420
00:16:28,545 --> 00:16:29,578
And cooking
in the firehouse
421
00:16:29,646 --> 00:16:30,680
just takes me away from that.
422
00:16:30,747 --> 00:16:31,747
Chicken marsala.
423
00:16:31,815 --> 00:16:32,948
If you take any longer,
424
00:16:33,016 --> 00:16:34,116
I'm gonna eat a hot dog
425
00:16:34,184 --> 00:16:35,818
off the back of your neck.
[Laughter]
426
00:16:35,886 --> 00:16:37,486
It's really enjoyable
to be able
427
00:16:37,554 --> 00:16:39,739
to take some raw ingredients
428
00:16:39,806 --> 00:16:42,742
and turn them into a wonderful,
hearty meal for the guys.
429
00:16:42,809 --> 00:16:44,010
That's good stuff.
You're so sweet.
430
00:16:44,077 --> 00:16:45,711
[Laughter]
431
00:16:45,779 --> 00:16:47,213
(Mike)
I have a lovely wife Christine
432
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,647
and three boys.
433
00:16:48,715 --> 00:16:49,815
Hi, guys.
434
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:50,733
They are the best boys
in the world.
435
00:16:50,801 --> 00:16:52,234
Hi, buddy.
436
00:16:52,302 --> 00:16:53,335
I've reached one dream
437
00:16:53,403 --> 00:16:54,620
in my professional career.
438
00:16:54,705 --> 00:16:56,272
But I'm ready
to take on
439
00:16:56,323 --> 00:16:57,306
the next chapter of my life
440
00:16:57,357 --> 00:16:58,407
and win MasterChef.
441
00:17:02,579 --> 00:17:04,663
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
442
00:17:04,748 --> 00:17:06,048
Good to see you.
First name is?
443
00:17:06,116 --> 00:17:07,299
My name is Mike.
Mike.
444
00:17:07,384 --> 00:17:09,068
Yes, sir.
What are you cooking?
445
00:17:09,152 --> 00:17:12,822
Today I've prepared a pan-seared
panko-crusted Halibut
446
00:17:12,889 --> 00:17:17,143
served atop a wild mushroom
risotto with prosciutto,
447
00:17:17,227 --> 00:17:19,612
some steamed lobster tail,
and finished it
448
00:17:19,696 --> 00:17:20,896
with a lobster newburg strafe.
449
00:17:20,964 --> 00:17:22,314
I can't think of a worse person
450
00:17:22,382 --> 00:17:24,150
to cook a risotto in front of
than Joe.
451
00:17:24,217 --> 00:17:26,268
Oh, boy.
452
00:17:26,336 --> 00:17:28,904
No pressure.
Yeah, no pressure.
453
00:17:28,972 --> 00:17:30,823
Okay.
454
00:17:30,907 --> 00:17:33,059
Damn.
It's slightly burnt that side.
455
00:17:33,143 --> 00:17:34,410
I figured I'd show
the better side.
456
00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:37,813
If there was one personi didn't expect
457
00:17:37,864 --> 00:17:38,731
to burn anything,
it was you,
458
00:17:38,815 --> 00:17:41,200
let me tell you that.
459
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,888
I think the risotto's
really yummy.
460
00:17:45,956 --> 00:17:47,990
What do you have
kind of strewn throughout?
461
00:17:48,057 --> 00:17:49,175
Some prosciutto,
some chanterelle mushrooms
462
00:17:49,259 --> 00:17:50,209
and some blue foot mushrooms.
463
00:17:50,293 --> 00:17:51,377
Okay.
464
00:17:51,445 --> 00:17:52,311
I think
it works really well,
465
00:17:52,379 --> 00:17:53,796
and I like the prosciutto.
466
00:17:53,863 --> 00:17:54,814
I wouldn't have thoughtto do that.
467
00:18:02,789 --> 00:18:04,707
Red Sox?
Yeah.
468
00:18:04,774 --> 00:18:06,492
[Laughs]
469
00:18:06,576 --> 00:18:07,810
Sorry.
470
00:18:07,861 --> 00:18:09,512
You got to stay true.
471
00:18:09,579 --> 00:18:11,747
(Gordon)Joe, yes or no?
472
00:18:11,798 --> 00:18:14,166
It's not working for me.
It's a no.
473
00:18:14,251 --> 00:18:15,851
A no?
No.
474
00:18:15,902 --> 00:18:17,570
Graham, yes or no?
475
00:18:17,637 --> 00:18:20,206
I think there's enough positives
within the risotto
476
00:18:20,290 --> 00:18:21,824
and the saucework
and things like that,
477
00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,559
that I'll give it a yes.
478
00:18:23,610 --> 00:18:24,977
I want to seewhat else you have.
479
00:18:25,061 --> 00:18:26,011
Thank you.
480
00:18:26,079 --> 00:18:27,146
What do you got,
Gordon?
481
00:18:27,214 --> 00:18:28,597
So frustrating.
482
00:18:28,665 --> 00:18:30,816
Honestly, I could--
I could scream.
483
00:18:30,901 --> 00:18:32,100
I'm a good learner.
484
00:18:32,152 --> 00:18:34,820
I've been learning
my entire life.
485
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:39,725
I'm willing to learn
if given an opportunity.
486
00:18:39,793 --> 00:18:41,460
I'm sorry.
It's a no.
487
00:18:41,545 --> 00:18:42,745
Thank you.
488
00:18:42,796 --> 00:18:44,180
(Joe)Thank you.
489
00:18:44,247 --> 00:18:46,565
Continue cooking.
Please.
490
00:18:50,020 --> 00:18:51,820
[Applause]
491
00:18:51,872 --> 00:18:55,174
(All)
Aww.
492
00:18:55,258 --> 00:18:57,409
We tried.
493
00:18:57,494 --> 00:18:58,961
We tried.
Daddy!
494
00:18:59,028 --> 00:19:01,296
Thank you.
495
00:19:01,348 --> 00:19:02,898
Take the Halibut off.
496
00:19:02,949 --> 00:19:04,333
Yeah.
497
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,051
Had he served the risotto
with the lobster...
498
00:19:06,136 --> 00:19:07,820
Damn.
499
00:19:07,904 --> 00:19:11,540
How the hell can a firefighter
burn a Halibut?
500
00:19:11,591 --> 00:19:12,658
(Boy)We were waiting
501
00:19:12,742 --> 00:19:14,743
for you.
I know you were.
502
00:19:14,794 --> 00:19:15,878
We still getto go home now.
503
00:19:15,945 --> 00:19:17,763
Mike.
504
00:19:17,848 --> 00:19:18,797
Listen to me,
505
00:19:18,882 --> 00:19:20,949
if you continue
506
00:19:21,001 --> 00:19:23,986
cooking over the next 12 months
507
00:19:24,054 --> 00:19:27,623
and really perfect
and cook
508
00:19:27,690 --> 00:19:29,875
for these guys here,
509
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,394
I'll guarantee you a place
this time next year.
510
00:19:32,462 --> 00:19:33,762
Don't stop cooking.
511
00:19:33,813 --> 00:19:34,796
Okay.
Okay?
512
00:19:34,848 --> 00:19:35,731
Thank you.
Thank you.
513
00:19:35,798 --> 00:19:37,633
[Cheers and applause]
514
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:39,118
High-five.
515
00:19:40,703 --> 00:19:42,671
Don't stop, okay?
516
00:19:45,792 --> 00:19:47,409
I'm a little disappointed,
but who knows?
517
00:19:47,460 --> 00:19:49,445
I may be back.
We'll see.
518
00:19:49,496 --> 00:19:53,782
Chef Ramsay, my dad
is gonna be back next year.
519
00:19:53,833 --> 00:19:57,369
Daddy, I was--
I missed you!
520
00:19:57,454 --> 00:19:59,154
Good.
521
00:19:59,222 --> 00:20:00,556
(Narrator)
Coming up...
522
00:20:00,607 --> 00:20:01,840
Is this your dish?
523
00:20:01,925 --> 00:20:03,108
(Narrator)
One home cook serves his dish
524
00:20:03,193 --> 00:20:06,295
in the most shocking manner
ever.
525
00:20:06,362 --> 00:20:07,846
This is not the kind of place
I want to find a hair
526
00:20:07,914 --> 00:20:08,847
in my food.
527
00:20:08,932 --> 00:20:09,999
Delicious.
528
00:20:10,050 --> 00:20:11,383
(Narrator)
And another...
529
00:20:11,468 --> 00:20:13,569
I like to think
I'm a [bleep] in the kitchen.
530
00:20:15,188 --> 00:20:16,838
(Narrator)
Just can't help herself.
531
00:20:16,890 --> 00:20:18,841
I want that [bleep] apron
so bad.
532
00:20:18,908 --> 00:20:20,993
Give it to me right now.
533
00:20:21,077 --> 00:20:22,611
Give it to me, please!
534
00:20:24,919 --> 00:20:26,620
(Narrator)
So far, just two talented
535
00:20:26,704 --> 00:20:28,338
home cooks have won
536
00:20:28,389 --> 00:20:30,957
a MasterChef apron

Fantastic.
What are you cooking?

A traditional Korean dish

It literally means bibim, mix,
and bap, rice.

We've given out
quite a few aprons,
606
00:23:14,355 --> 00:23:15,939
and we don't do that lightly.Let me tell you that.
607
00:23:16,007 --> 00:23:17,307

in the game.

Already the standard is there.
610
00:23:22,763 --> 00:23:27,200
The difference now could be
that tiny grain of salt...
611
00:23:27,284 --> 00:23:28,818
And that would meangetting an apron

00:23:28,869 --> 00:23:31,087

Okay, and what are you
gonna be cooking?
631
00:24:18,836 --> 00:24:22,272

with a truffled egg
633
00:24:24,992 --> 00:24:27,527

on the side topped with--
would you mind starting?

00:24:28,779 --> 00:24:30,246
Perfect.
636
00:24:30,297 --> 00:24:32,065
So tell us, what does food mean
in your life?
637
00:24:32,149 --> 00:24:33,716
I grew up
in an Italian household.
638
00:24:33,768 --> 00:24:35,268
My grandmother taught me
how to cook.
639
00:24:35,352 --> 00:24:36,786
And so, growing up,
640
00:24:36,837 --> 00:24:38,655
loving and learning
how to cook,
641
00:24:38,722 --> 00:24:40,607
it's just my life.
642
00:24:40,691 --> 00:24:42,776
It's really what I'm meant
to be doing.
643
00:24:42,843 --> 00:24:44,461
But if you grew up
with that love of food...
644
00:24:44,528 --> 00:24:45,745
Right.
645
00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:46,880
Why the hell
didn't you pursue it?
646
00:24:46,964 --> 00:24:49,282
Because you have
to be strong enough
647
00:24:49,366 --> 00:24:50,767
at a young ageto get into it
648
00:24:50,818 --> 00:24:51,901
and pursue it.
649
00:24:51,969 --> 00:24:53,303
Determined.
Determined.
650
00:24:53,354 --> 00:24:54,487
And I was determined.
So you're weak obviously.
651
00:24:54,572 --> 00:24:56,139
I'm not weak at all, actually.
652
00:24:56,190 --> 00:24:59,375
I am very, very strong.
653
00:24:59,427 --> 00:25:00,944
I'm gonna cook you
the best dish
654
00:25:01,011 --> 00:25:03,563
I can possibly cook,
get an apron,
655
00:25:03,647 --> 00:25:06,583
and, damn it, I'm gonna win
this competition.
656
00:25:06,650 --> 00:25:08,301
This is the opportunity
of a lifetime.
657
00:25:12,923 --> 00:25:13,990
What is that?
658
00:25:14,057 --> 00:25:15,758
This here?
659
00:25:15,826 --> 00:25:18,495
It's just
some white truffle oil.
660
00:25:18,546 --> 00:25:20,163
White truffle oil?
661
00:25:20,231 --> 00:25:21,331
Yes.
662
00:25:21,398 --> 00:25:23,166
One of the most pungent,
ridiculous
663
00:25:23,217 --> 00:25:25,435
ingredients ever known
to chef.
664
00:25:25,503 --> 00:25:27,403
The sure sign
of someone who doesn't know
665
00:25:27,455 --> 00:25:28,888
what they're doing.
666
00:25:28,956 --> 00:25:30,673
You know that truffle oils
are made by perfumists
667
00:25:30,724 --> 00:25:31,691
and have no white trufflesin them?
668
00:25:31,775 --> 00:25:33,993
But it's good.
669
00:25:34,078 --> 00:25:35,094
I can't believe
you've just done that.
670
00:25:38,015 --> 00:25:40,316
I think you've just put
your apron
671
00:25:40,367 --> 00:25:41,684
up in flames.
672
00:25:41,735 --> 00:25:43,052
Let me tell you that.
673
00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:49,042
(Joe)Generally if you goto a restaurant
674
00:25:49,126 --> 00:25:50,160
and you see truffle oilon the menu,
675
00:25:50,227 --> 00:25:51,311
it's a good reasonto run away.
676
00:25:51,378 --> 00:25:52,262
(Gordon)I can smell it from here.
677
00:25:52,329 --> 00:25:53,780
It stinks.
678
00:25:53,864 --> 00:25:55,198
Okay.
679
00:25:57,067 --> 00:25:58,618
You clearly love styling plates,
680
00:25:58,702 --> 00:26:00,386
'cause that means nothing.
681
00:26:00,471 --> 00:26:03,406
Pile of grass.
682
00:26:17,087 --> 00:26:18,755
The rice cake is delicious.
683
00:26:18,806 --> 00:26:21,958
The egg has got
that richness to it.
684
00:26:22,026 --> 00:26:23,993
But the whole thing
is knocked out
685
00:26:24,061 --> 00:26:29,649
sadly with the over-pungent,
dreadful flavor
686
00:26:29,717 --> 00:26:32,802
of white truffle oil.
687
00:26:32,870 --> 00:26:34,637
Great potential.
688
00:26:34,705 --> 00:26:36,656
[Bleep] Finish.
689
00:26:36,724 --> 00:26:37,790
Damn.
690
00:26:39,293 --> 00:26:40,643
How you doing?
691
00:26:40,694 --> 00:26:41,945
I'm hanging in there.
Are you?
692
00:26:42,012 --> 00:26:43,279
Yeah. I am.
Okay.
693
00:26:48,919 --> 00:26:50,203
I mean, parmesan and egg
and risotto,
694
00:26:50,287 --> 00:26:51,287
they're really delicious.
695
00:26:51,338 --> 00:26:52,772
But that truffle oil,
696
00:26:52,856 --> 00:26:56,426
it really takes over that dish.
697
00:27:10,474 --> 00:27:12,242
Here's your mistake.
698
00:27:12,309 --> 00:27:13,509
I know.
699
00:27:13,577 --> 00:27:14,427
That was just a mistake.
700
00:27:14,511 --> 00:27:16,412
Get rid of that crap.
701
00:27:16,463 --> 00:27:18,147
Big mistake.
702
00:27:19,650 --> 00:27:21,534
This means the world to me.
703
00:27:21,619 --> 00:27:23,953
I'm gonna be really honest.
704
00:27:24,021 --> 00:27:28,641
Stripped with all
the pretentious crap removed,
705
00:27:28,726 --> 00:27:29,792
is it for me?
706
00:27:38,683 --> 00:27:40,768
MasterChef is about finding
that unique palate,
707
00:27:40,852 --> 00:27:42,252
that something magical.
708
00:27:42,303 --> 00:27:43,937
You're putting chiveson the plate,
709
00:27:44,005 --> 00:27:45,773
like, criss-crossing
710
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,291

711
00:27:47,342 --> 00:27:49,727
And then truffle oil,trendy--
712
00:27:49,794 --> 00:27:52,012
you know, we fire chefs
713
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,430

714

716
00:27:57,836 --> 00:28:00,270
Is it for me?
717
00:28:00,321 --> 00:28:01,522
No.
718
00:28:03,224 --> 00:28:04,975
Graham, yes or no?
719
00:28:05,026 --> 00:28:06,276
Can you learn
from your mistakes?
720
00:28:06,344 --> 00:28:07,478
Absolutely.
721
00:28:07,545 --> 00:28:09,430
I know I can learn
from my mistakes.
722
00:28:09,514 --> 00:28:11,248
Yes or no?
723
00:28:12,784 --> 00:28:14,234
I'll give you a chance.
724
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:15,552
Thank you so much.
725
00:28:15,603 --> 00:28:17,688
Thank you so much.
726
00:28:17,755 --> 00:28:20,407
(Gordon)Joe.
727
00:28:25,513 --> 00:28:26,814
Come over here.
Come on.
728
00:28:30,701 --> 00:28:32,019
I definitely will not make
that mistake twice.
729
00:28:33,722 --> 00:28:36,356
This means the world to me.
730
00:28:36,424 --> 00:28:38,142
Unfortunately,
you're gonna have to...
731
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:43,747
Keep cooking.
732
00:28:43,798 --> 00:28:46,066
Thank you.
733
00:28:46,151 --> 00:28:47,918
Don't let me down.
734
00:28:47,969 --> 00:28:48,802
I won't.
I won't.
735
00:28:48,887 --> 00:28:49,820
Thank you so much.
736
00:28:49,871 --> 00:28:51,354
And I promise,
737
00:28:51,406 --> 00:28:52,689
I won't screw it up.
738
00:28:52,741 --> 00:28:53,907
I promise.
739
00:28:56,244 --> 00:28:57,544
Gave her a shot.
We'll see what happens.
740
00:28:57,629 --> 00:28:58,895
The risotto cake
741
00:28:58,947 --> 00:29:00,481
tasted delicious.
Yeah, it was very good.
742
00:29:00,565 --> 00:29:01,949
There's no two ways
about it.
743
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:06,102
[Cheers and applause]
744
00:29:06,154 --> 00:29:09,490
(Narrator)
So truffle oil's
off Tracy's shopping list.
745
00:29:09,574 --> 00:29:11,508
But the judges still have nuts,
flakes,
746
00:29:11,576 --> 00:29:13,894
and fruitcakes on theirs.
747
00:29:13,978 --> 00:29:15,629
(Joe)How are you feeling?Confident?
748
00:29:15,713 --> 00:29:17,047
I like to think I'm a [bleep]
in the kitchen.
749
00:29:17,114 --> 00:29:19,466
[Laughs]
[Rapping] I have just one shot
750
00:29:19,551 --> 00:29:20,684
to prove what I got.
751
00:29:20,735 --> 00:29:22,019
Make it on MasterChef,
752
00:29:22,086 --> 00:29:23,954
that'd be pretty hot.
753
00:29:24,021 --> 00:29:26,673
♪ Food for thought ♪
754
00:29:28,076 --> 00:29:29,559
Gladys...
Huh.
755
00:29:29,611 --> 00:29:30,527
The X factor
is coming this fall.
756
00:29:30,595 --> 00:29:31,879
You're on the wrong show.
757
00:29:33,515 --> 00:29:35,499
Should that be
a little bit more cooked?
758
00:29:35,550 --> 00:29:38,068
I hope it doesn't ruin
my chances for an apron.
759
00:29:38,135 --> 00:29:39,770
For me, it's a no.
760
00:29:39,821 --> 00:29:41,171
Straight down there,there's a big M on the door.
761
00:29:41,222 --> 00:29:42,456
Sorry, no.
762
00:29:42,540 --> 00:29:44,007
Bust a move that way.
763
00:29:44,075 --> 00:29:45,859
(Gordon)Joe, yes or no?
Definitely no.
764
00:29:45,927 --> 00:29:46,977
(Graham)I'm gonna gothe opposite direction.
765
00:29:47,045 --> 00:29:48,262
I thought the flavor
was there.
766
00:29:48,346 --> 00:29:49,780
I thought there was creativity.
767
00:29:49,847 --> 00:29:51,215
I think it's good.
So I'll say yes.
768
00:29:51,266 --> 00:29:54,401
What does it mean
to you, this competition?
769
00:29:54,486 --> 00:29:55,469
It means everything.
770
00:29:55,537 --> 00:29:56,737
I can do this.
771
00:29:56,821 --> 00:29:59,273
I need to do this.
772
00:29:59,357 --> 00:30:00,390
I'll crawl.
I'll beg.
773
00:30:00,458 --> 00:30:01,942
That's how bad I want that.
774
00:30:02,026 --> 00:30:03,877
I need that apron.
775
00:30:03,945 --> 00:30:05,195
I need this.
776
00:30:05,263 --> 00:30:06,763
Please, Gordon.
777
00:30:08,917 --> 00:30:10,267
I want that [bleep] apron
so bad!
778
00:30:10,318 --> 00:30:11,752
Give it to me
right now.
779
00:30:11,836 --> 00:30:13,737
Please give it to me.
780
00:30:13,805 --> 00:30:15,272
Get off the floor.
781
00:30:22,247 --> 00:30:24,147
Pick up your apron.
It's a yes from me.
782
00:30:24,215 --> 00:30:25,983
Oh, my God.
783
00:30:26,050 --> 00:30:28,285
Now, focus.
784
00:30:28,336 --> 00:30:30,821
Put all that energy,
determination
785
00:30:30,872 --> 00:30:32,289
into that next dish.
786
00:30:32,356 --> 00:30:34,558
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
787
00:30:34,609 --> 00:30:38,428
You're gonna lose
that bet, Gordon.
788
00:30:38,496 --> 00:30:40,113
[Cheers and applause]
789
00:30:40,198 --> 00:30:43,033
I'm feeling so good,
I could just run the halls
790
00:30:43,101 --> 00:30:45,819
screaming naked.
Yes, yes.
791
00:30:47,488 --> 00:30:49,506
(Narrator)
Home cook Christian
from Las Vegas
792
00:30:49,557 --> 00:30:51,909
is about to make a naked play
793
00:30:51,976 --> 00:30:53,527
for the judges' approval.
794
00:30:53,611 --> 00:30:54,895
Rock on, man.
795
00:31:01,369 --> 00:31:03,337
Like a husband-wife duo?
What's going on?
796
00:31:03,404 --> 00:31:04,705
(Christian)No, not at all.
797
00:31:04,789 --> 00:31:05,873
This is my special treat.
I have been looking forward
798
00:31:05,940 --> 00:31:07,741
to serving this
for you guys for a while.
799
00:31:10,645 --> 00:31:12,095
You're kidding me.
800
00:31:12,163 --> 00:31:14,014
Are you competing
for MasterChef with--
801
00:31:14,082 --> 00:31:15,415
is this your dish?
802
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,784
Yes, it is my dish.
803
00:31:22,123 --> 00:31:23,857
(Gordon)Are you serious?
804
00:31:23,942 --> 00:31:25,642
Body Sushi.
805
00:31:27,445 --> 00:31:29,613
Watch out.
806
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,697
Get you around here.
807
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:37,854
You just poured soy sauce
over your lady's tummy,
808
00:31:37,906 --> 00:31:40,090
and it's dripping everywhere.
809
00:31:40,141 --> 00:31:42,376
You know, my question is,
who goes first?
810
00:31:42,460 --> 00:31:43,660
Maybe all three
at the same time.
811
00:31:43,711 --> 00:31:44,411
(Joe)Let's go.
812
00:31:46,397 --> 00:31:47,497
This is not the kind of place
I want
813
00:31:47,565 --> 00:31:48,432
to find a hairin my food.
814
00:31:48,483 --> 00:31:50,417
Absolutely.
815
00:31:50,501 --> 00:31:52,252
Honey soy vinaigrette
on the right-hand side.
816
00:31:52,337 --> 00:31:53,737
Ooh.
Aah!
817
00:31:53,788 --> 00:31:55,372
[Laughs]
818
00:31:55,423 --> 00:31:56,873
This is an Ahi tuna,raw style.
819
00:31:56,925 --> 00:32:00,043
It's Hugh Hefner's breakfast.
820
00:32:00,094 --> 00:32:02,379
Don't ask for dessert.
No.
821
00:32:02,446 --> 00:32:03,730
(Graham)At the end of the day,
822
00:32:03,798 --> 00:32:05,215
it's a cooking competition.
823
00:32:05,283 --> 00:32:06,583
I have to say no.
No.
824
00:32:06,651 --> 00:32:07,901
(Gordon)Here's the naked truth.
825
00:32:07,986 --> 00:32:10,337
Three nos.
826
00:32:10,405 --> 00:32:12,856
Thank you both.
Gordon Ramsay ate Sushi
827
00:32:12,923 --> 00:32:14,625
off of me.
828
00:32:19,781 --> 00:32:21,131
(Narrator)
Coming up...
829
00:32:21,182 --> 00:32:22,032
Chef Ramsay,
how are you?
830
00:32:22,100 --> 00:32:23,333
How are you?
831
00:32:23,401 --> 00:32:25,369
(Narrator)
Gordon gets a taste of home.
832
00:32:25,436 --> 00:32:26,453
Scottish.
Yes.
833
00:32:26,537 --> 00:32:27,871
Glasgow.
Glasgow.
834
00:32:27,938 --> 00:32:29,206
[Laughter]
835
00:32:31,275 --> 00:32:32,943
(Narrator)
And Joe predicts
836
00:32:33,011 --> 00:32:34,628
the MasterChef winner.
837
00:32:34,712 --> 00:32:38,398
That's the kind of dish that
wins competitions like this one.
838
00:32:42,155 --> 00:32:43,555
(narrator)
So far the first day search
839
00:32:43,606 --> 00:32:46,575
for America's next MasterChef
has seen eight people
840
00:32:46,659 --> 00:32:49,127
win an apron
and take a place
841
00:32:49,195 --> 00:32:50,729
in the next stage
of the competition.
842
00:32:50,797 --> 00:32:53,665
After an intense wait,
843
00:32:53,716 --> 00:32:55,617
the next contenders
have their dreams crushed
844
00:32:55,702 --> 00:32:57,502
in seconds.
845
00:32:57,570 --> 00:32:59,137
I'm sorry.
It's gonna be a no.
846
00:32:59,188 --> 00:33:01,256
I'm gonna say no.
For me, it's a no.
847
00:33:01,341 --> 00:33:02,157
And how long you been
in the police force?
848
00:33:02,242 --> 00:33:04,443
Five years now.
849
00:33:04,494 --> 00:33:05,911
(Graham)The scallopsare cooked perfectly.
850
00:33:05,979 --> 00:33:08,063
The rest of the dish lacks,
so I'm a no.
851
00:33:08,147 --> 00:33:11,934
Just hard to take, but the face
kind of says it all.
852
00:33:12,018 --> 00:33:13,518
I don't think
I'm gonna stop cooking.
853
00:33:13,586 --> 00:33:15,353
Don't know how far I'll go
854
00:33:15,405 --> 00:33:16,955
or how far I'll take it,
but I'm not done.
855
00:33:18,958 --> 00:33:20,725
(Narrator)
Today's home cooks
856
00:33:20,777 --> 00:33:22,894
have brought flavors
from all around the world.
857
00:33:22,946 --> 00:33:25,130
The next stop is Scotland.
858
00:33:27,617 --> 00:33:29,985
(Pauline)
Cooking comes from my heart.
859
00:33:30,069 --> 00:33:31,903
You know, when I get
into my kitchen,
860
00:33:31,971 --> 00:33:33,471
it's just me
and the ingredients,
861
00:33:33,523 --> 00:33:34,656
and we just go for it.
862
00:33:34,724 --> 00:33:36,475
Then we just see what happens.
863
00:33:36,542 --> 00:33:37,559
And sometimes it's great,
864
00:33:37,644 --> 00:33:39,294
and sometimes it's not.
865
00:33:39,379 --> 00:33:40,512
I'm the luckiest guyin the world,
866
00:33:40,579 --> 00:33:42,998
because I eat like this
every day.
867
00:33:43,082 --> 00:33:44,933
[Cheers and applause]
868
00:33:48,304 --> 00:33:49,321
(Gordon)Hello.
869
00:33:49,389 --> 00:33:50,439
Hi.
Hi.
870
00:33:50,523 --> 00:33:52,441
Chef Ramsay,
how are you?
871
00:33:52,525 --> 00:33:54,076
I'm very well, indeed.
872
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:55,093
How are you?
873
00:33:55,161 --> 00:33:56,962
I am rocking.
874
00:33:57,013 --> 00:33:58,447
Scottish?
875
00:33:58,531 --> 00:33:59,898
Yes. Glasgow.
876
00:33:59,965 --> 00:34:02,434
Glasgow.
I--I know.
877
00:34:02,501 --> 00:34:04,403
I don't really understand
what you're saying,
878
00:34:04,454 --> 00:34:06,321
but I guess you guys are
paesanos of some sort, right?
879
00:34:06,406 --> 00:34:07,522
Yes. Lovely accent.
880
00:34:07,607 --> 00:34:08,540
Thank you.
What are you cooking?
881
00:34:08,607 --> 00:34:09,507
I've actually done
882
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:10,809
Scottish salmon
883
00:34:10,860 --> 00:34:12,961
and haggis en croute.
884
00:34:13,046 --> 00:34:16,047
I made the pastry myself.
885
00:34:16,099 --> 00:34:17,332
Haggis en croute.
886
00:34:17,417 --> 00:34:18,200
Yes.
Look at you.
887
00:34:18,284 --> 00:34:20,435
You've got posh.
888
00:34:20,503 --> 00:34:21,536
(Pauline)Oh, Chef Ramsay, really?
889
00:34:21,621 --> 00:34:22,454
[Laughs]
890
00:34:23,856 --> 00:34:25,307
Have you guys ever had haggis?
891
00:34:25,375 --> 00:34:26,541
Yes.
892
00:34:26,609 --> 00:34:29,061
Never had it.
It's my first haggis experience.
893
00:34:29,128 --> 00:34:30,262
Great.Pauline, just explain
894
00:34:30,330 --> 00:34:32,280
to Joe what haggis is,please.
895
00:34:32,365 --> 00:34:34,266
It's the heart of the lamb
and its kidney,
896
00:34:34,334 --> 00:34:37,586
and it's boiled in the lining
897
00:34:37,654 --> 00:34:39,804
of the sheep's stomach.
Delicious.
898
00:34:39,856 --> 00:34:41,089
(Graham)I once heard somewhere
899
00:34:41,174 --> 00:34:42,274
that all Scottish food
900
00:34:42,342 --> 00:34:43,642
was based on a dare.
901
00:34:43,710 --> 00:34:45,460
Like, "I dare you to eat that."
902
00:34:45,545 --> 00:34:46,678
[Laughs]
Really?
903
00:34:46,746 --> 00:34:47,713
So let's see.
904
00:34:47,780 --> 00:34:49,081
Let's see.
905
00:34:49,148 --> 00:34:50,632
(Joe)So is this what it's supposed
906
00:34:50,700 --> 00:34:52,067
to look like?
907
00:34:52,135 --> 00:34:52,917
(Pauline)This is what it's supposed
908
00:34:52,969 --> 00:34:53,985
to look like.
909
00:34:54,053 --> 00:34:54,970
Yeah.
And that's the haggis?
910
00:34:55,054 --> 00:34:56,054
That's the haggis.
911
00:34:56,122 --> 00:34:57,422
Just like that, right?
Yeah.
912
00:34:57,490 --> 00:34:59,524
Don't be scared, Joe.
Put hairs on your chest.
913
00:34:59,592 --> 00:35:00,442
Yeah.
914
00:35:03,763 --> 00:35:07,082
[Laughter]
915
00:35:07,166 --> 00:35:09,384
Oh, lord.
Oh, my goodness.
916
00:35:09,469 --> 00:35:10,886
Are you kidding me?
917
00:35:10,970 --> 00:35:12,421
[Laughter]
Come on.
918
00:35:12,505 --> 00:35:15,407
It's not
for the faint-hearted.
919
00:35:15,475 --> 00:35:17,909
This is the sauce?
That's the sauce.
920
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,244
See, I love that flavor.
921
00:35:19,311 --> 00:35:20,162
It's great.
922
00:35:22,749 --> 00:35:24,366
Okay.
Oh.
923
00:35:26,052 --> 00:35:28,153
Chef Ramsay, honestly,
it defies belief
924
00:35:28,204 --> 00:35:29,304
you're touching my food truly.
925
00:35:29,389 --> 00:35:32,674
That's brave
to bring haggis to L.A.
926
00:35:32,742 --> 00:35:33,442
(Pauline)I know.
927
00:35:37,897 --> 00:35:39,998
I mean, that dish...
928
00:35:41,467 --> 00:35:43,585
It makes me feel homesick.
929
00:35:43,669 --> 00:35:47,172
Oh, does it?
Yes, it does.
930
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,541
A touch of Scotland
just for you.
931
00:35:49,592 --> 00:35:52,394
Does it need to go
with salmon? No.
932
00:35:52,478 --> 00:35:53,779
It probably doesn't.
933
00:35:53,830 --> 00:35:55,697
You're crazy.
934
00:35:55,782 --> 00:35:56,981
I am.
935
00:35:57,033 --> 00:35:58,750
But I'm Scottish.
What can I tell you?
936
00:36:01,738 --> 00:36:03,205
Okay.
Joe, yes or no?
937
00:36:03,289 --> 00:36:05,490
I like you.
938
00:36:05,541 --> 00:36:06,458
I like your apron.
939
00:36:06,509 --> 00:36:08,326
I like your accent.
940
00:36:08,377 --> 00:36:09,194
Thank you.
I don't like the dish.
941
00:36:09,245 --> 00:36:10,395
You don't.
942
00:36:10,463 --> 00:36:11,980
Sorry. No.
That's okay.
943
00:36:12,048 --> 00:36:13,865
I like Scottish people.
944
00:36:13,933 --> 00:36:15,033
I just don't like that dish.
945
00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:16,418
What do you want me
to tell you?
946
00:36:16,502 --> 00:36:18,120
Graham, yes or no?
947
00:36:18,187 --> 00:36:19,537
(Graham)The haggis
948
00:36:19,589 --> 00:36:21,006
is nice and moist
inside the salmon,
949
00:36:21,057 --> 00:36:23,642
which was nice and moist
inside the pastry.
950
00:36:23,709 --> 00:36:25,227
So I'm a yes.
951
00:36:25,311 --> 00:36:26,962
(Gordon)Okay.
952
00:36:27,046 --> 00:36:28,864
Don't take this personally.
953
00:36:28,948 --> 00:36:30,515
'Cause I thinkyou're amazing.
954
00:36:30,583 --> 00:36:32,717
But for me,
it's a no...
955
00:36:36,155 --> 00:36:38,240
To that apron.
956
00:36:38,324 --> 00:36:39,891
'Cause we want youto put this one on.
957
00:36:39,959 --> 00:36:42,060
[Laughter]
Congratulations.
958
00:36:42,127 --> 00:36:43,595
Well done.
959
00:36:43,646 --> 00:36:44,896
The pride of Scotland!
960
00:36:44,964 --> 00:36:46,114
Yes!
961
00:36:46,199 --> 00:36:47,599
I'll never let you down.
962
00:36:47,650 --> 00:36:49,467
Come on!
I'll never let you down.
963
00:36:49,519 --> 00:36:50,919
Show these yanks!
964
00:36:51,003 --> 00:36:53,305
Thank you!
Oh!
965
00:36:56,526 --> 00:36:58,460
[Cheers and applause]
966
00:37:01,197 --> 00:37:02,981
For Chef Ramsay
to taste my food
967
00:37:03,032 --> 00:37:05,484
is like winning the Super Bowl.
968
00:37:05,535 --> 00:37:06,835
Yeah, baby!
969
00:37:06,919 --> 00:37:08,320
[Cheers and applause]
970
00:37:08,371 --> 00:37:10,055
That's delicious, though.
It is good.
971
00:37:10,122 --> 00:37:11,556
What's the matter with you?
972
00:37:11,624 --> 00:37:12,924
It's not for me.
973
00:37:12,975 --> 00:37:16,194
Put some olive oil on it.
[Bleep] almighty.
974
00:37:16,245 --> 00:37:17,762
(Narrator)
Coming up...
975
00:37:17,830 --> 00:37:19,347
The dish is more confident
than you are.
976
00:37:19,432 --> 00:37:21,950
(Narrator)
The final home cook of the day
977
00:37:22,018 --> 00:37:24,035
has everything on the line.
978
00:37:27,794 --> 00:37:29,127
(Narrator)
Today's search
979
00:37:29,195 --> 00:37:32,097
for America's next MasterChef
is drawing to a close.
980
00:37:32,165 --> 00:37:35,100
The final amateur cook
is counting on
981
00:37:35,168 --> 00:37:37,035
his hometown flavors
to snap him an apron.
982
00:37:37,103 --> 00:37:38,937
Yes!
Whoo!
983
00:37:39,005 --> 00:37:40,105
My name's Christian Collins.
984
00:37:40,172 --> 00:37:41,673
And I'm from Gloucester,
Massachusetts.
985
00:37:41,741 --> 00:37:42,958
And I'm a stay-at-home dad.
986
00:37:43,025 --> 00:37:44,926
You're invited to cook
your signature dish
987
00:37:44,994 --> 00:37:46,595
for the judges of MasterChef
in L.A.
988
00:37:46,662 --> 00:37:48,730
Yeah!(Woman)Hello.
989
00:37:48,798 --> 00:37:50,665
I got something
in the mail.
990
00:37:50,733 --> 00:37:52,100
I have a nine-year-old son
at home,
991
00:37:52,168 --> 00:37:54,169
an 11-month-old little girl.
Her name's Dahlia.
992
00:37:54,237 --> 00:37:55,303
[Giggles]
993
00:37:55,388 --> 00:37:57,939
And one on the way.
994
00:37:59,642 --> 00:38:01,643
I've had some ups and downs
in my life.
995
00:38:01,711 --> 00:38:03,211
I worked at restaurants
growing up for a little while.
996
00:38:03,279 --> 00:38:05,080
Typical dishwasher.
997
00:38:05,164 --> 00:38:06,364
I kind of veered off of that,
just being a teenager,
998
00:38:06,432 --> 00:38:07,966
just figuring out life,
999
00:38:08,034 --> 00:38:09,868
doing drugs,
and kind of hit rock bottom.
1000
00:38:09,936 --> 00:38:11,369
Wasn't around for my son.
1001
00:38:11,437 --> 00:38:14,205
Gets to a point
where you do wake up one day
1002
00:38:14,257 --> 00:38:16,224
and realize that that wasn't
the man that you wanted to be.
1003
00:38:16,292 --> 00:38:18,994
My son was about 3 1/2
when I turned my life around
1004
00:38:19,061 --> 00:38:20,896
and came back,
got custody of him.
1005
00:38:20,963 --> 00:38:22,898
And then realized
this was my passion
1006
00:38:22,965 --> 00:38:24,332
and came back to it.
1007
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,701
Chewy, but awesome.
That's lobster.
1008
00:38:26,769 --> 00:38:28,570
(Christian)
I had to fight
through a lot of things
1009
00:38:28,638 --> 00:38:29,771
in my life,
and I'm gonna fight
1010
00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:31,156
through this competition
and win it.
1011
00:38:31,223 --> 00:38:32,323
'Cause it's gonna change
my life around.
1012
00:38:32,375 --> 00:38:34,593
Give me some love.
Come on!
1013
00:38:34,660 --> 00:38:37,496
[Cheers and applause]
1014
00:38:54,313 --> 00:38:55,580
How you guys doing today?
1015
00:38:55,648 --> 00:38:57,265
Good. How are you?
Very good.
1016
00:38:57,350 --> 00:38:59,167
Where are you from?
I'm from Gloucester, Massachusetts.
1017
00:38:59,252 --> 00:39:01,036
Oldest fishing port
in the country.
1018
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,287
(Gordon)What are you cooking?
1019
00:39:02,338 --> 00:39:03,721
It's basically a cioppino.
1020
00:39:03,773 --> 00:39:06,825
I like to call it a shipwreck
sea stew for my son.
1021
00:39:06,892 --> 00:39:08,193
What's the secret
behind this stew?
1022
00:39:08,244 --> 00:39:10,178
You start
with a little onion and pepper,
1023
00:39:10,263 --> 00:39:11,463
some white wine,
1024
00:39:11,531 --> 00:39:12,463
garlic, tomatoes,
1025
00:39:12,515 --> 00:39:15,267
clam juice...
1026
00:39:15,318 --> 00:39:16,618
(Gordon)The love of foodcame from where?
1027
00:39:16,702 --> 00:39:18,870
Cooking for my son.
You feed this to the kids?
1028
00:39:18,921 --> 00:39:21,223
Yes.
1029
00:39:21,307 --> 00:39:22,324
Let's go.
1030
00:39:32,435 --> 00:39:34,803
So let's hope
the shipwreck stew
1031
00:39:34,887 --> 00:39:37,189
is not your culinary Titanic.
[Laughs]
1032
00:39:56,309 --> 00:39:57,942
You look very nervous.
1033
00:39:57,994 --> 00:39:59,311
I've never wanted anything more
in my life.
1034
00:40:25,137 --> 00:40:27,272
That is like you.
1035
00:40:27,340 --> 00:40:31,776
It's intense and
it's packed full of flavor.
1036
00:40:31,844 --> 00:40:33,228
Good job.
Thank you.
1037
00:40:33,296 --> 00:40:34,646
Really good job.
1038
00:40:34,697 --> 00:40:35,797
Delicious.
Thank you.
1039
00:40:35,881 --> 00:40:36,765
It's very tough
to pull that off.
1040
00:40:36,832 --> 00:40:37,899
Thank you very much.
1041
00:40:37,984 --> 00:40:39,351
Wow.
1042
00:40:39,402 --> 00:40:42,086
The dish is more confident
than you are.
1043
00:40:42,138 --> 00:40:44,706
You should sing
like that dish sings.
1044
00:40:46,309 --> 00:40:47,409
Joe?
1045
00:40:47,493 --> 00:40:48,543
For me, definite yes.
1046
00:40:48,628 --> 00:40:49,828
That's the kind of dish
1047
00:40:49,895 --> 00:40:52,414
that wins competitions
like this one.
1048
00:40:52,498 --> 00:40:53,582
Graham?
1049
00:40:53,649 --> 00:40:55,116
Yeah, I think
that the dish speaks
1050
00:40:55,201 --> 00:40:56,868
for itself.
1051
00:40:56,935 --> 00:40:58,653
For me, I'm a yes.
1052
00:40:58,738 --> 00:40:59,971
Put this on.
1053
00:41:00,022 --> 00:41:01,523
Go out and intimidate 'em.
1054
00:41:01,607 --> 00:41:02,874
Whoo!
All right, good job.
1055
00:41:02,925 --> 00:41:04,375
Thank you.
Don't let us down, bro.
1056
00:41:04,427 --> 00:41:05,477
I will not.
1057
00:41:05,528 --> 00:41:06,411
Well done.
Thank you very much.
1058
00:41:06,478 --> 00:41:07,779
Yes!
1059
00:41:07,830 --> 00:41:08,763
Just wanna dive
into that pot, don't ya?
1060
00:41:08,848 --> 00:41:10,315
This dish is amazing.
1061
00:41:10,366 --> 00:41:11,199
(Graham)Mm-hmm.
1062
00:41:11,284 --> 00:41:12,434
Absolutely spot-on.
1063
00:41:12,518 --> 00:41:14,886
Whoo!
1064
00:41:14,937 --> 00:41:18,056
[Cheers and applause]
1065
00:41:18,107 --> 00:41:19,908
He could win MasterChef.
He really could.
1066
00:41:19,992 --> 00:41:22,410
This is my dream.
1067
00:41:22,495 --> 00:41:24,262
And it's happening.
1068
00:41:24,313 --> 00:41:27,082
Come on, man.
1069
00:41:27,149 --> 00:41:29,284
(Narrator)
Tomorrow night on MasterChef...
1070
00:41:29,352 --> 00:41:31,219
I'm going medieval
on their asses.
1071
00:41:31,287 --> 00:41:32,487
(Narrator)
The search
for the best home cook
1072
00:41:32,555 --> 00:41:33,688
in America continues.
1073
00:41:33,756 --> 00:41:35,040
That was [bleep] delicious.
1074
00:41:35,107 --> 00:41:36,975
(Narrator)

Like a [bleep] dog chew.

Please.

against his own mother.
