(Dimmock2) 18 Chefs Compete Pt. 2

Lamb was the key of this challenge, and Chef Vaughan announced that he would be cutting the deadweight early. Then in service, one of the teams had a complete communication breakdown and an arrogant chef got eliminated.

## Challenge Part 2

Continuing the previous episode, the chefs went into their kitchens and started cooking their dishes. Orlando said he needed to regain his confidence and bounce back. Carter struggled grating the cheese into his dish, while Francis put his lamb on the grill and shared some pepper with Edwin. Over on the women's side, Jazmine was too busy finding the salt for her salmon, and Zara told Jazmine to stop walking all around the place and get back to her station. Eventually the chefs finished each of their dishes. Then Chef Vaughan asked both teams to taste their dishes. Carter said to his team to put his dish in the top 3 but the blue team disagreed and in his confessional he was pissed at his team for doing that. On the Red Team, Jazmine sold her lamb chop which was executed well and landed herself in the Top 3. Satyajeet's lamb rack was told to be good by Niko. Carter really wanted his dish in the Top 3, and surprisingly it made it in before the time ran out.

Chef Vaughan told Niko to tell him the Top 3 on the blue team Niko said Edwin, Edwin presented his Scallops with, Caesar salad and it was perfectly cooked and got high praises by Vaughan. Edwin said he was so happy and said his dish was inspired by his parents. The second person from the top 3 in the blue team was Niko, with his pork chop with eggplant. Chef Vaughan said the eggplant was cooked nicely, and the pork chop was nicely done as well. Last person from the top 3 was Carter with his veal with brown rice. Vaughan called the men down to take a look at Carter's dish only to realise it was overcooked and the brown rice was crunchy. Vaughan then told the men to get back in line. Carter said he was embarrassed in front of Chef Vaughan.

Chef Vaughan was only left with two dishes to choose from and he chose Edwin's scallops with caesar salad. The women were next and up first was Violet's lamb with hollandaise, and Vaughan was so confused on why Violet put Hollandaise over lamb. He tasted her dish and said it was disgusting and not edible. Next up was Jayden's roasted beef and it was criticized to be sloppy and the beef was raw. Last up for the women was Zara's twice baked potato which was perfect and well cooked. Without any question Zara was chosen because the other two were disgusting and fowl. Chef Vaughan gave the Punishment Pass to Edwin but reminded Zara that her dish was also impressive.

## Elimination

Afterwards Chef Vaughan tells Edwin and Zara to name the worst three dishes from each team, the loser of which would be going home. Zara named Violet as the first worst dish and said her dish was confusing then the second was Jayden's roasted beef which was sloppy and raw, and the final was Meghan's salmon. Vaughan called her down to the front he said he was surprised that her dish was down here as she got a 5 in signature dish. Meghan was sad with herself because she had a strong dish then disappointed Vaughan. The salmon was raw in the center, which angered Chef Vaughan who told her to get back in line. Edwin said it was hard picking between eight members on his team and knew it was be a difficult choice. Edwin had chosen Carter because his veal was overcooked, and the rice was crunchy. Next he picked Rufus with his pan seared Scallops, which turned out to be cold and not even cooked. Lastly was Francis' pasta with mussels which was far from great but far from terrible. Vaughan called Carter and Violet as the nominees because they had the worst dishes out of the other three. Carter said he would bounce back and prove that he is not only line cook but a strong passionate chef. Violet said she knew her mistakes and wanted another chance to fix her mistakes. In the end Chef Vaughan told Carter to wake up and go back in line, and eliminated Violet for her lack of creativity and confusing dish. In her exit interview, she said she knew that she was stupid with her dish but thought that Carter should've been standing out her for his arrogance and said he had the worst dish.

Vaughan gave no comment on Violet's elimination, and she did not receive the coat hanging and burning picture sequence.

## Service

The chefs lined up and Chef Vaughan told them they were gonna have a good service and not disappoint him.

## Dinner Service

Chef Vaughan tells Maître d'hôtel Johnathan to open Hell's Kitchen

The tableside will be a grilled cheese sandwich served by Lexi for the red team, and David for the blue team. Dinner service started, Chef Vaughan called out the first ticket. Carter walked the fish to the pass which happens to be undercooked. In the Red Team when the first ticket arrived, Helga was coordinating the red team, which Vaughan was pleased about. Zara realised she was cooking appetisers without the stove on, and said in her confessional she forgot to turn the stove on and looked like an idiot. Chef Vaughan asked her why the stove was not on and she said she forgot which Vaughan reminded her to remember if there's no heat the stove is not on.

Back in the Blue Team, Carter sends his fish for the second time to the pass, and it was still undercooked. Chef Vaughan asked him what the fuck was he doing and he said Vaughan was full of shit. Chef Vaughan tells him to shut the fuck up and stop giving him excuses. Niko walked the meat, and Vaughan sent it back and called it a chew toy., Francis sends the garnish up but Vaughan tells the whole blue team that the garnish is bland. Satyajeet says Francis is screwing the garnish over, and fucking the whole blue kitchen up. Vaughan tells the Blue Team to get a grip.

Back with the Red Team, Vaughan asks Peyton and Tanya how long on fish. Tanya says 1 minute, Peyton says 3 minutes, and Vaughan tells them to talk to each other because they're on the same station. Meanwhile, with the Blue Team, Niko sends the meat again and it's overcooked which makes Vaughan kick Niko and Edwin out of the kitchen. Meanwhile, with tableside, David forgets which table he supposed to serve, and Maitre 'd Johnathan has to help him find his table. David says he is disappointed with himself for forgetting. The Blue Team is waiting for Carter with the fish. Chef Vaughan notices that he is cooking only one fish and shouts at him for forgetting that there are two fishes. Carter talks back and says there is one fish, which makes Vaughan get super angry and kick him out of the kitchen.

Back to the Red Kitchen they move on to entrees. Helga sends the lamb out perfectly cooked and she gets praised by Vaughan. Back in the Blue Team, Vaughan asked how long. Everybody said random times which made them get kicked out. Satyajeet said he was so pissed because he did not finish service and Rufus throws his jacket on the ground as they enter the dorms. Vaughan sends the girls into the blue team to finish service. Vaughan was pleased with Helga and Jazmine for good communication, and they finish service. Tanya says she is so happy that the women finished service and said they were there to stay.

### Post-Mortem

The chefs line up and Chef Vaughan congratulates the red team for having a great service, and tells the Blue Team that they sucked so much that the women needed to help. Vaughan tells the Blue Team to head up to their dorm and come up with two nominees then tells them to fuck off. Rufus said his team was a mess and did not communicate at all. The Blue Team immediately nominate Francis for messing up on garnish but have a hard time deciding between Niko and Carter. Carter says he will not make that mistake again and said Niko is weaker than him, then Niko tells Carter to stop lying and admit to his mistakes. Then Francis asked David what was going on in the dinner service and David responded he was having trouble and forgot his table he was supposed to serve.

### Elimination

David announced Francis as the first nominee, and Niko the second. Chef Vaughan says there is someone else he needed to hear from, then calls up Carter for screwing up the fish and undercooked it so many times. During their pleas, Francis said he knew he was in the wrong but claimed he could bounce back next service, Niko apologised for serving disgusting meat and failing on that station then Carter claimed he was not the weakest chef and claimed he did not make a single mistake in tonight's service and said he does know how to cook. Vaughan said he was full of shit and made so many mistakes on fish that night. Vaughan calls up Niko then sends him back in line. Chef Vaughan eliminates Carter for screwing up fish and his attitude sucked. During Carter's exit interview he said he was not the weakest, and said Chef Vaughan can go and kiss his ass.

After Carter went home, Chef Vaughan reminded the Blue Team to bounce back and wake up next service, and told both teams to go back upstairs. While being dismissed, Francis was so glad that he survived elimination and did not want to make any mistakes again. Jazmine was glad that the Blue Team lost and said the women are here to win and kick their asses. Then Satyajeet said the men needed to bounce back or else they will be dropping like flies.

Vaughan's comment: *"Every chef in Hell's Kitchen starts at the bottom unfortunately for Carter he stayed there."* (A sentence which doesn't exactly make sense)
