(VB) Episode 107 - Kitchen Nightmare

This is the seventh episode of (VB) Hell's Kitchen season 1. It was published at 27th December, 2021.

## Intro

Back in the dorms, Guy was pissed because Albert promised that he would not nominate him at the elimination ceremony, but he did. Albert thought that Guy should had went home, and now he was still here, means that he still had to suffer from his annoyance.

## Team Challenge

After being called downstairs, they saw a giant cash tank beside Chef Ramsay. He then told them the amount of cash inside that tank is the money that they had wasted since the first service, and he told the chefs that in this challenge, they only had a $20 dollar budget to buy what they need to make a stunning dish.

Marino then entered the dining room in a food truck, and Chef Ramsay told them that they had to "buy" the ingrediants inside the truck, and no additional ingrediants will be given in the kitchen.

They have 45 minutes to buy and cook. Albert wanted to cook a filet, but he was stunned that it costed 15 dollars, which was most of his budget, so he went to cook chicken, which only costed 10 dollars. Soda was shocked that she forgot to buy the garnish, unfortunately she only had 55 cents left, and was forced to buy cheap garnish.

After 45 minutes, it was tasting time. But before tasting, Chef Ramsay told the blue team that they had one more person than the other, so they had to eliminate the worst dish, at last, Wing's dish was not going to be eaten by Chef Ramsay.

First up was Ana and Guy. Ana's salmon was cooked perfectly, and Chef Ramsay gave the dish a great 26 dollars. Guy's salmon was also cooked nicely, unfortunately its garnish was overcooked, and thus given a solid 23 dollars.

Next up was Q and Albert. Both Q and Albert's dish was good, and both of them received a good 25 dollars, making the score 51-48.

The final two dishes were made by Soda nad Cheese. Cheese's duck was slightly overcooked, and the combination was strange, and was given a poor 13 dollars score. Soda needed only 11 dollars in order to win. Unfortunately, Soda's rack of lamb was raw, and Chef Ramsay could eat it so he just gave the dish a 0 score. After four consecutive losses, the blue team had finally won a challenge.

## Reward and Punishment

The blue team was rewarded a night stay in the biggest suite at the Venetian Hotel.

The red team had to clean up the streets of Las Vegas as their punishment.

## Dinner Service

Chef Ramsay reminded them that black jackets were near, and told them that they better perform their best.

 Garnish
 Meat
 Fish

The blue team received their first order of appetisers: 2 risotto 1 flatbread 1 scallops. Albert was scrolling the flatbread, however, he saw Guy also scrolling the flatbread. Albert yelled at Guy that he should do his own job, but Guy thought Albert was so ungrateful, and they had a dispute, luckily they stopped the argument as Chef Ramsay came back, and their first table of appetisers went into the dining room in no time.

The red team was also trying to do the same. Q was cooking the risotto, unfortunately Soda accidentally poured salt into it, causing the risotto unedible and needed to refire. Chef Ramsay was shocked that this tradegy still had to happen in the last service before black jackets. However, Q recovered and sent up perfect risotto.

In the blue kitchen, Cheese and Wing had nothing to do, so they started a chat. Chef Ramsay was furious and asked them to repeat the order, they couldn't apparently, and was given a warning. Guy was also struggling because he forgot to use a non-stick pan when searing scallops. However, he bounced back from the minor mistakes and led the blue team completed all the appetizers.

Soda was sent up a raw wellington, and Chef Ramsay told her not to f up again. However, Soda sent up a raw wellington again, and Chef Ramsay told her what the fuck she was thinking, Soda answered that she would bounce back. Soda was on her third attempt on wellington, however, it was still raw. Soda cried that she already timed it perfectly, Chef Ramsay then walked to the oven, and was surprised that she set the oven's temperature to 170 degrees. Soda asked what's wrong with the 170 degrees celsius. Chef Ramsay then called her as an idiot and told her that it was 170 fahrenheit and it wasn't even 76 degress celsius. Soda was frustrated because she didn't know that it was marked as fahrenheit.

The blue team was starting to collapse when it came to entrees, as Wing sent up raw food after raw food. At one point when Guy was not watching his halibut, Wing thought it was going to get overcooked and closed the stove for Guy. Obiviously, Chef Ramsay found out that the halibut was raw and yelled at Guy. However, Guy quickly discovered that Wing turned off his stove, and blamed her.

The red team bounced back and finished service before the blue team, and was rewarded black jackets. Chef Ramsay told them that it was a rough night, but they boucned back and that was exactly what he would like to see.

After three hours, the blue team finished service. But Chef Ramsay wasn't happy because he accused that they had shown no teamwork and leadership.

## Post-Mortem

Chef Ramsay lined up the teams and congratulated the red team for having a good service, and said that the winning team tonight was the red team. However, he also stated that the blue team at least finished service, so he would not eliminate anyone tonight, but told them that they would not be given black jackets yet, and needed to fight for one.

After the announcement, he told the chef to get upstairs.
