- Previously on Top Chef...
2
00:00:02,104 --> 00:00:03,504
- Ugh.
3
00:00:03,504 --> 00:00:05,203
- I'm sorry, we need
to get someone here, please.
4
00:00:05,205 --> 00:00:06,471
This is very,
very important.
5
00:00:08,274 --> 00:00:10,165
- Oh...
6
00:00:10,167 --> 00:00:12,657
- Why didn't you guys stand up
for the freakin' shrimp?
7
00:00:12,659 --> 00:00:15,350
The point is
to cook the shrimp.
8
00:00:19,116 --> 00:00:21,590
- Lindsay, she
over there talking.
9
00:00:21,592 --> 00:00:23,624
I'm feeling alone.
10
00:00:23,626 --> 00:00:26,499
If she had an opinion
about something, then say that.
11
00:00:26,501 --> 00:00:30,468
You love driving the bus,
hitting people.
12
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:31,435
- Keith.
13
00:00:31,437 --> 00:00:33,438
Please pack
your knives and go.
14
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,443
- Thank you
for the opportunity.
15
00:00:36,445 --> 00:00:37,912

Red Hot Chili Cook Off
Original Air Date on November 23, 2011
23
00:01:02,357 --> 00:01:06,357
== sync by elderman ==
24
00:01:10,110 --> 00:01:12,010
- It definitely was
an eye-opening experience
25
00:01:12,012 --> 00:01:13,211
for all of us.
26
00:01:13,213 --> 00:01:14,879
- Did you guys
talk about the shrimp?
27
00:01:14,881 --> 00:01:16,113
Was that in there at all?
28
00:01:16,115 --> 00:01:17,648
- Yeah--I mean, I had to.
29
00:01:17,650 --> 00:01:19,485
- You guys
turned against each other.
30
00:01:19,487 --> 00:01:20,787
- I don't feel that we
turned against each other.
31
00:01:20,789 --> 00:01:22,887
Do you, Sarah?
- I was honest.
32
00:01:22,889 --> 00:01:24,955
- The reason why he went home
was not because of the shrimp.
33
00:01:24,957 --> 00:01:26,690
Keith stood by
the flour tortilla
34
00:01:26,692 --> 00:01:29,091
and said that's the
only way he's had enchiladas.
35
00:01:29,093 --> 00:01:30,559
And the team lost.
36
00:01:30,561 --> 00:01:33,561
I'm okay admitting my faults
but in a group challenge,
37
00:01:33,563 --> 00:01:34,929
I gotta
watch out for myself.
38
00:01:34,931 --> 00:01:37,132
- Either have something
really good to put on the plate,
39
00:01:37,134 --> 00:01:38,900
or shut the up.
40
00:01:38,902 --> 00:01:42,470
- Tonight I definitely see
people's true colors come out.
41
00:01:42,472 --> 00:01:44,539
It's, like, turned
cutthroat all of a sudden.
44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,155
- Walking into the kitchen,
I see this big board of chilies
45
00:02:05,157 --> 00:02:07,090
and temperatures
and dollar signs.
46
00:02:07,092 --> 00:02:09,359
The beginning of my career
was in southwestern cuisine,
47
00:02:09,361 --> 00:02:12,094
so I love
working with chilies.
48
00:02:12,096 --> 00:02:13,228
- Good morning, chefs.
49
00:02:13,230 --> 00:02:14,329
Good morning.
50
00:02:14,331 --> 00:02:16,565
- Please welcome
our guest judges,
51
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:19,235
two hot tamales
and chefs and owners
52
00:02:19,237 --> 00:02:21,271
of the Border Grill
restaurants--
53
00:02:21,273 --> 00:02:23,507
Mary Sue Milliken
and Susan Feniger.
54
00:02:23,509 --> 00:02:25,809
- Good morning, chefs.
- Welcome.
55
00:02:25,811 --> 00:02:27,045
- Hola.
56
00:02:27,047 --> 00:02:29,447
- Mary Sue and Susan
from Top Chef Masters
57
00:02:29,449 --> 00:02:31,783
are a breath of fresh air.
58
00:02:31,785 --> 00:02:34,019
This is why
I'm here on Top Chef,
59
00:02:34,021 --> 00:02:36,588
to be able to cook
for esteemed chefs like this.
60
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:39,091
This challenge is designed
to reward those of you
61
00:02:39,093 --> 00:02:42,461
who have the confidence
to take risks.
62
00:02:46,700 --> 00:02:51,137
Beside me is
a table full of chili peppers.
63
00:02:51,139 --> 00:02:54,006
A range in degree of heat
from mild...
64
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:56,142
To incendiary.
65
00:02:56,144 --> 00:02:58,078
Like the ghost chili...
66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,746
The hottest chili
in the world,
67
00:02:59,748 --> 00:03:01,815
according to
the scoville scale.
68
00:03:01,817 --> 00:03:06,319
- The scoville scale
goes from 2,000 to millions.
69
00:03:06,321 --> 00:03:08,589
Some of these things are
like eating a pile of fire.
70
00:03:08,591 --> 00:03:11,124
- Your task is simple--
create a dish
71
00:03:11,126 --> 00:03:14,694
highlighting one chili pepper.
72
00:03:14,696 --> 00:03:17,797
There's up to
$20,000 on the line here,
73
00:03:17,799 --> 00:03:20,366
furnished by
tabasco brand pepper sauces.
74
00:03:20,368 --> 00:03:23,135
The hotter
the pepper you choose,
75
00:03:23,137 --> 00:03:25,404
the more money
you stand to win.
76
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:27,339
- To really find the balance
77
00:03:27,341 --> 00:03:29,574
and use those
super-spicy chilies
78
00:03:29,576 --> 00:03:31,609
without destroying
the palate,
79
00:03:31,611 --> 00:03:33,411
that takes a lot
more skill and talent.
80
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:35,146
- Just want to
remind you all,
81
00:03:35,148 --> 00:03:38,249
we have to eat
15 of these dishes
82
00:03:38,251 --> 00:03:40,085
so be careful.
83
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:44,323
- Your time starts now.
84
00:03:47,328 --> 00:03:51,797
♪ ♪
85
00:03:51,799 --> 00:03:54,499
- As I'm tasting the chilies,
the Anaheim is the one
86
00:03:54,501 --> 00:03:57,135
that has the most
refreshing flavor,
87
00:03:57,137 --> 00:03:58,703
and it's definitely something
you can eat raw,
88
00:03:58,705 --> 00:03:59,971
like a crudités.
89
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:01,906
So I'm not
doing it for the money.
90
00:04:01,908 --> 00:04:05,042
I'm doing it
to make the best tasting dish.
91
00:04:08,079 --> 00:04:11,148
- I grabbed the Fresno pepper,
because on the scoville unit,
92
00:04:11,150 --> 00:04:13,250
it's one hotter
than a jalapeno.
93
00:04:13,252 --> 00:04:14,618
I'm not a spice fan.
94
00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:16,286
So for this challenge,
it's something that I feel
95
00:04:16,288 --> 00:04:17,488
apprehensive about.
96
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:18,622
- Whoo!
Sorry, guys.
97
00:04:18,624 --> 00:04:19,656
- Do you want me to move?
I'll move.
98
00:04:19,658 --> 00:04:22,059
- Do you mind?
- Nope.
99
00:04:22,061 --> 00:04:23,327
- You know those people
that go "aagh!"
100
00:04:23,329 --> 00:04:24,661
And they put the
fire strip in their mouth?
101
00:04:24,663 --> 00:04:26,497
The ghost pepper's
a lot like that.
102
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:28,632
- Hey, I got
a big box of Kosher, friend.
103
00:04:28,634 --> 00:04:30,534
Usually I'm a
"go big or go home" type person,
104
00:04:30,536 --> 00:04:34,137
but my stomach kind of has
issues with spicy, spicy foods.
105
00:04:34,139 --> 00:04:36,439
So I went for
the 7,500 manzano.
106
00:04:36,441 --> 00:04:38,241
Come on, chef,
burn your hands.
107
00:04:38,243 --> 00:04:40,777
I really hope that because I
don't choose the ghost pepper
108
00:04:40,779 --> 00:04:42,312
it's not
gonna bring me down.
109
00:04:42,314 --> 00:04:45,715
I'm praying to win that 7,500.
That buys a lot of diapers.
110
00:04:45,717 --> 00:04:46,683
- Coming up, coming up.
111
00:04:46,685 --> 00:04:48,752
- 20 minutes, guys!
112
00:04:48,754 --> 00:04:51,788
- I decide to make
a date and pistachio couscous.
113
00:04:51,790 --> 00:04:55,325
I want to use the Thai chili
and some sort of pickling,
114
00:04:55,327 --> 00:04:57,227
because it's going to
highlight the chili itself
115
00:04:57,229 --> 00:04:58,895
without
overpowering the dish.
116
00:04:58,897 --> 00:05:00,263
Hot!
117
00:05:00,265 --> 00:05:02,499
I could win $10,000,
but more importantly,
118
00:05:02,501 --> 00:05:03,901
for me,
I can win immunity.
119
00:05:03,903 --> 00:05:06,770
- I'm going for irs payback.
120
00:05:06,772 --> 00:05:08,105
I am definitely a spicy guy,
121
00:05:08,107 --> 00:05:09,640
I got a spicy personality.
122
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:11,876
I choose the habanero because
it's my absolute favorite.
123
00:05:11,878 --> 00:05:14,311
In my family it's one of
the only chilies that we use.
124
00:05:14,313 --> 00:05:17,414
I have enough cans of habanero
in my apartment to last me
125
00:05:17,416 --> 00:05:22,687
through the next
nuclear fallout.
126
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:24,456
- Um, I have habaneros.
127
00:05:24,458 --> 00:05:29,628
I have to take down the heat,
so I'm gonna cook it in syrup.
128
00:05:29,630 --> 00:05:30,929
- Ten minutes!
129
00:05:30,931 --> 00:05:32,831
My mom's side has
a Korean background,
130
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:35,567
and I grew up
eating spicy food.
131
00:05:35,569 --> 00:05:37,202
I wanna do
a habanero vinaigrette
132
00:05:37,204 --> 00:05:39,471
with big,
bold spicy flavors.
133
00:05:39,473 --> 00:05:41,907
What I like to do is
triple blanche it
134
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:44,042
and sort of remove
some of that spice,
135
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:47,280
and you still
keep the flavor.
136
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:51,684
I choose the ghost chili
because the last quickfire
137
00:05:51,686 --> 00:05:52,952
I was in the bottom,
and this time
138
00:05:52,954 --> 00:05:54,220
I wanna impress the judges.
139
00:05:54,222 --> 00:05:56,255
- That's hot.
- - Yeah, man.
140
00:05:56,257 --> 00:05:58,090
- I'm the only one that
grabs the ghost chili pepper.
141
00:05:58,092 --> 00:06:00,226
I think everybody else
wants to play it safe.
142
00:06:00,228 --> 00:06:02,762
- Have I told you
you're amazing lately?
143
00:06:02,764 --> 00:06:04,363
The ghost pepper.
144
00:06:04,365 --> 00:06:05,698
- A million scoville units?
145
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:07,667
That's all right,
I'll stay away from that.
146
00:06:07,669 --> 00:06:10,136
- Five minutes,
you have five minutes left.
147
00:06:10,138 --> 00:06:12,071
- Whose pan is this?
I accidentally turned a knob.
148
00:06:12,073 --> 00:06:15,707
- Coming around,
arriba, arriba.
149
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:18,143
- Cutting board salad.
150
00:06:18,145 --> 00:06:21,146
- Hot nuts!
151
00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:23,982
- I'm noticing I'm the only one
who didn't cook my chili,
152
00:06:23,984 --> 00:06:25,817
and I'm worried about
how that could stand out
153
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:30,955
in a bad way.
154
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:32,790
- Tasting my dish,
it's not as spicy
155
00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:34,324
as I thought it
was going to be.
156
00:06:34,326 --> 00:06:36,093
Which worries me,
'cause it is a chili challenge
157
00:06:36,095 --> 00:06:38,295
and you want heat.
158
00:06:41,933 --> 00:06:43,100
- Hands up!
159
00:06:43,102 --> 00:06:45,468
Utensils down.
160
00:06:45,470 --> 00:06:47,036
- Aagh!
161
00:06:47,038 --> 00:06:48,171
- Okay, don't
touch your eyes.
162
00:06:48,173 --> 00:06:49,639
I want a hug.
163
00:06:49,641 --> 00:06:52,241
- Hi, Beverly.
- Hi, how are you?
164
00:06:52,243 --> 00:06:53,976
I put the Anaheim
in the ssamjang.
165
00:06:53,978 --> 00:06:55,411
This is like
a cream crudités.
166
00:06:55,413 --> 00:06:56,712
- Are the chilies cooked?
167
00:06:56,714 --> 00:06:59,481
- No, I wanted you to really
enjoy the freshness
168
00:06:59,483 --> 00:07:01,416
and the beauty
of the chili itself.
169
00:07:01,418 --> 00:07:02,784
- Great.
- Thank you so much.
170
00:07:02,786 --> 00:07:03,918
- Thank you.
171
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,787
- I used the Fresno chili
172
00:07:05,789 --> 00:07:07,755
that are
a little more mild.
173
00:07:07,757 --> 00:07:11,225
So it's a salmon belly
seared with a Fresno chili
174
00:07:11,227 --> 00:07:15,063
herb balsamic relish.
175
00:07:15,065 --> 00:07:17,365
- I needed one last bite.
176
00:07:17,367 --> 00:07:19,768
I hope I don't have
chilies on my hand now.
177
00:07:19,770 --> 00:07:21,603
- I hope you don't too.
- Well, that's all right.
178
00:07:21,605 --> 00:07:23,438
I wanted to sort of balance
with sweet and acid.
179
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,707
So you have a pineapple curd,
a Fresno chili
180
00:07:25,709 --> 00:07:27,944
sort of slaw,
seared bay scallops,
181
00:07:27,946 --> 00:07:30,213
and then a sweet and hot
glazing on top of it all.
182
00:07:30,215 --> 00:07:31,247
- Yeah.
- Thank you, Richie.
183
00:07:31,249 --> 00:07:33,616
- Thank you very much.
184
00:07:33,618 --> 00:07:35,017
- So what this is
is buffalo hot wings.
185
00:07:35,019 --> 00:07:37,386
You have tabasco sauce and
celery with seared chicken,
186
00:07:37,388 --> 00:07:39,021
manzano vinaigrette.
187
00:07:39,023 --> 00:07:42,590
I like the fruitiness
of this chili.
188
00:07:42,592 --> 00:07:43,825
- I used Thai chili.
189
00:07:43,827 --> 00:07:45,226
So I just did
a coconut soup,
190
00:07:45,228 --> 00:07:46,661
fused it with
the Thai chili.
191
00:07:46,663 --> 00:07:50,331
Kaffir lime, sour cream,
yuzu broth, so it's vegetarian.
192
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:52,733
- And did the money
have anything to do
193
00:07:52,735 --> 00:07:54,301
with the chili
you picked?
194
00:07:54,303 --> 00:07:56,270
- Kind of, sort of,
but I really like Thai chilies.
195
00:07:56,272 --> 00:07:57,772
- Thank you.
196
00:07:57,774 --> 00:07:59,441
- I made date
and pistachio couscous
197
00:07:59,443 --> 00:08:02,878
and I did a quick pickle
of cucumbers, red onion,
198
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,146
and the Thai chilies.
199
00:08:04,148 --> 00:08:06,048
So it's gonna give you
a little bit of a kick.
200
00:08:06,050 --> 00:08:08,718
- It's interesting, 'cause
you definitely feel the heat.
201
00:08:11,489 --> 00:08:12,622
- I picked the habanero.
202
00:08:12,624 --> 00:08:14,057
As a kid, my dad
grew 40-50 pounds
203
00:08:14,059 --> 00:08:15,692
of habanero in our backyard.
- Oh, okay.
204
00:08:15,694 --> 00:08:18,461
- I owe Uncle Sam some bucks,
so I'm definitely trying to
205
00:08:18,463 --> 00:08:19,462
make some paper.
206
00:08:19,464 --> 00:08:21,197
It's a tomato habanero sauce,
207
00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:23,131
marinated
the scallop and achiote
208
00:08:23,133 --> 00:08:24,132
and sautéed it.
209
00:08:24,134 --> 00:08:25,167
- Fresh tomato?
210
00:08:25,169 --> 00:08:26,334
- No, they're
the canned ones.
211
00:08:26,336 --> 00:08:27,769
I just kind of
popped them in the wood oven--
212
00:08:27,771 --> 00:08:29,304
just get a little of, like,
kind of a smoky flavor to them.
213
00:08:29,306 --> 00:08:33,474
- Achiote y naranja agria,
that combo is a smart combo.
214
00:08:33,476 --> 00:08:36,077
For sure.
- Thanks.
215
00:08:36,079 --> 00:08:37,345
- I used habanero.
216
00:08:37,347 --> 00:08:39,614
I stuffed it
with cheddar cheese.
217
00:08:39,616 --> 00:08:42,550
I really like
the sweetness of corn
218
00:08:42,552 --> 00:08:43,618
with spice.
219
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:46,521
This is
a creamy lime sauce.
220
00:08:46,523 --> 00:08:50,258
- That bite of habanero
had a kick.
221
00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:53,095
- I prepared
a charred baby fennel
222
00:08:53,097 --> 00:08:55,164
and rock shrimp composition.
223
00:08:55,166 --> 00:08:57,599
There is a habanero
in the vinaigrette
224
00:08:57,601 --> 00:08:59,334
and in
the rock shrimp marinade.
225
00:08:59,336 --> 00:09:01,637
Tossed in a little bit
of queso fresco
226
00:09:01,639 --> 00:09:02,671
and kalamata olives.
227
00:09:02,673 --> 00:09:05,273
- Thank you, Nyesha.
- Thank you.
228
00:09:05,275 --> 00:09:06,608
- Hi, Paul.
229
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:08,942
- You're the only one who used--
- the ghost pepper.
230
00:09:08,944 --> 00:09:10,411
- Tell me it was
for the money.
231
00:09:10,413 --> 00:09:12,579
- It was for the money,
and it was to test my skill.
232
00:09:12,581 --> 00:09:14,381
- Good for you.
What did you do?
233
00:09:14,383 --> 00:09:17,351
- I did a chilled coconut soup
with kafir lime.
234
00:09:17,353 --> 00:09:19,219
- How did you incorporate
the chili into it?
235
00:09:19,221 --> 00:09:21,522
- It's a ghost pepper relish
with apricots and corn.
236
00:09:21,524 --> 00:09:23,390
- How much of, uh,
chili is in there?
237
00:09:23,392 --> 00:09:24,424
- One pepper.
238
00:09:24,426 --> 00:09:26,093
- You thought
we could handle it.
239
00:09:26,095 --> 00:09:28,563
- I'm on Top Chef, so
it's, like, go big or go home.
240
00:09:28,565 --> 00:09:31,567
I'm sweating because
I don't get any feedback.
241
00:09:31,569 --> 00:09:34,336
I have no idea
what they're thinking.
242
00:09:37,774 --> 00:09:40,509
- Tell us how
the chefs did overall.
243
00:09:40,511 --> 00:09:42,545
- Some of you, I think,
were a little bit wimpier
244
00:09:42,547 --> 00:09:46,015
in your use of chilies,
and some of you took it on
245
00:09:46,017 --> 00:09:48,451
and made a stronger statement.
246
00:09:48,453 --> 00:09:49,719
- Tell us your
least favorites.
247
00:09:49,721 --> 00:09:50,886
- Beverly...
248
00:09:50,888 --> 00:09:52,321
For Top Chef,
249
00:09:52,323 --> 00:09:55,024
you didn't do enough with
the chili to really change it
250
00:09:55,026 --> 00:09:57,994
or highlight it
or make it different.
251
00:09:57,996 --> 00:09:59,629
- Richie...
252
00:09:59,631 --> 00:10:02,765
I think the whole
presentation--great.
253
00:10:02,767 --> 00:10:05,669
But it was just sweet and sweet
and so you lost the power
254
00:10:05,671 --> 00:10:07,670
of the chili.
255
00:10:07,672 --> 00:10:09,639
Chuy...
256
00:10:09,641 --> 00:10:12,375
Your dish speaks to us
from the Yucatan,
257
00:10:12,377 --> 00:10:13,777
using achiote.
258
00:10:13,779 --> 00:10:16,914
But what didn't work
was the canned tomato
259
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:20,417
overpowered any
use of the chilies.
260
00:10:20,419 --> 00:10:21,752
- I work with chilies
all the time,
261
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:24,355
and being called out
really makes me feel like crap
262
00:10:24,357 --> 00:10:26,758
and I just kind of
wanna die under the table.
263
00:10:27,993 --> 00:10:30,161
- Who are our
favorite dishes today?
264
00:10:30,163 --> 00:10:31,829
- Heather.
265
00:10:31,831 --> 00:10:34,065
The Thai chili
really brought heat to it.
266
00:10:34,067 --> 00:10:37,001
Your dish was
exactly the kind of food
267
00:10:37,003 --> 00:10:38,202
I love to eat.
268
00:10:38,204 --> 00:10:40,237
- Thank you very much.
269
00:10:40,239 --> 00:10:41,539
- Grayson...
270
00:10:41,541 --> 00:10:44,943
It was really exciting
to see you take a whole habanero
271
00:10:44,945 --> 00:10:47,278
and serve it as a dish.
272
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,946
Totally showcased the chili.
273
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,515
Was well-balanced
and a really smart dish.
274
00:10:51,517 --> 00:10:53,150
- Thank you.
275
00:10:53,152 --> 00:10:54,986
- And Paul...
276
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,823
I loved how you
went after that ghost chili,
277
00:10:57,825 --> 00:10:58,923
had the confidence to do it,
278
00:10:58,925 --> 00:11:01,493
and it was really
quite a delicious dish.
279
00:11:01,495 --> 00:11:03,162
- Thank you, chef.
280
00:11:03,164 --> 00:11:05,931
- One of you will
take the money home today
281
00:11:05,933 --> 00:11:07,500
and immunity
in the next challenge.
282
00:11:07,502 --> 00:11:10,837
- Heather, if you win,
you get $10,000.
283
00:11:10,839 --> 00:11:14,407
Grayson,
you'd get $12,500.
284
00:11:14,409 --> 00:11:17,610
And Paul,
you'd get $20,000.
285
00:11:17,612 --> 00:11:20,213
Susan and Mary Sue,
who won this quickfire?
286
00:11:20,215 --> 00:11:22,682
- The person we felt
that just completely
287
00:11:22,684 --> 00:11:25,551
hit it
out of the park...
288
00:11:32,992 --> 00:11:34,392
- Susan and Mary Sue...
289
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:35,560
Who won this quickfire?
290
00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:38,096
- The person we felt
that just completely
291
00:11:38,098 --> 00:11:41,666
hit it
out of the park...
292
00:11:43,435 --> 00:11:44,435
Was Paul.
293
00:11:44,437 --> 00:11:45,603
- Whew.
294
00:11:46,673 --> 00:11:49,240
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
295
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:52,643
- You win immunity
and $20,000,
296
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:55,011
furnished by
tabasco brand pepper sauces.
297
00:11:55,013 --> 00:11:56,046
- Whoo!
- Wow.
298
00:11:57,850 --> 00:11:59,082
- I took the risk
and it paid off.
299
00:11:59,084 --> 00:12:01,918
$20,000 is a big,
huge confidence booster,
300
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,621
considering I was in the bottom
the last quickfire.
301
00:12:04,623 --> 00:12:07,624
Right now I'm definitely
somebody to watch out for.
302
00:12:10,895 --> 00:12:14,264
- You will be competing in
an age-old Texas tradition.
303
00:12:14,266 --> 00:12:15,799
The chili cook-off.
304
00:12:15,801 --> 00:12:18,102
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
305
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:20,137
- I cook a lot
of chili myself,
306
00:12:20,139 --> 00:12:21,205
especially if
it's cold outside
307
00:12:21,207 --> 00:12:22,439
and it's snowing.
308
00:12:22,441 --> 00:12:24,408
So I'm really confident
about this challenge.
309
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,877
- Please pull a pot
from under your station
310
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:28,812
and open them up.
311
00:12:32,716 --> 00:12:34,550
These
are your team colors.
312
00:12:34,552 --> 00:12:35,818
- Blue.
313
00:12:35,820 --> 00:12:38,120
- White.
- Green.
314
00:12:38,122 --> 00:12:41,357
- Orange.
315
00:12:41,359 --> 00:12:43,026
- I hope you like who
you're standing next to.
316
00:12:43,028 --> 00:12:44,494
- Very happy.
317
00:12:44,496 --> 00:12:46,196
- I'm not happy
about my team.
318
00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:49,033
Richie's been in the bottom.
Beverly is very meek.
319
00:12:49,035 --> 00:12:50,334
I'm hoping that I'm not
320
00:12:50,336 --> 00:12:52,570
gonna have to
carry the team on my back.
321
00:12:52,572 --> 00:12:53,672
- This is your opportunity
322
00:12:53,674 --> 00:12:55,774
to make something
really unusual.
323
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:57,676
Every region
has its own chili.
324
00:12:57,678 --> 00:12:59,311
- And the thing
I love about this challenge
325
00:12:59,313 --> 00:13:01,647
is that it's
gonna test your skill
326
00:13:01,649 --> 00:13:03,182
at team dynamics.
327
00:13:03,184 --> 00:13:05,851
- I'm a little worried about
being on a team with Sarah,
328
00:13:05,853 --> 00:13:07,586
given what happened
on the last challenge.
329
00:13:07,588 --> 00:13:10,556
- Why didn't you guys stand up
for the freakin' shrimp?
330
00:13:10,558 --> 00:13:12,558
- You have to be careful
making excuses.
331
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:13,893
- Yeah,
but someone's going home,
332
00:13:13,895 --> 00:13:17,296
not just necessarily
for what they did.
333
00:13:17,298 --> 00:13:21,101
- Her interactions with Keith
just brought the team apart.
334
00:13:21,103 --> 00:13:24,071
- Chili takes
a long time to cook.
335
00:13:24,073 --> 00:13:26,307
So for this challenge,
there is no clock.
336
00:13:26,309 --> 00:13:28,376
Ooh!
337
00:13:28,378 --> 00:13:31,013
- Because you'll be cooking
at your house.
338
00:13:31,015 --> 00:13:33,282
Ooh!
339
00:13:35,153 --> 00:13:37,787
- Just be ready
by 7:00 pm tomorrow
340
00:13:37,789 --> 00:13:42,091
at one of Texas'
oldest sporting competitions.
341
00:13:42,093 --> 00:13:43,258
The Tejas rodeo.
342
00:13:43,260 --> 00:13:44,893
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
343
00:13:47,198 --> 00:13:50,065
- I grew up going to rodeos
and to livestock shows
344
00:13:50,067 --> 00:13:52,333
since I was
a little girl.
345
00:13:52,335 --> 00:13:55,135
My dad was a bull rider,
and I know that he would tell me
346
00:13:55,137 --> 00:13:57,371
to make sure that there's
a lot of meat in the chili.
347
00:13:57,373 --> 00:14:01,174
- You'll be serving over 200
cowboys and rodeo regulars.
348
00:14:01,176 --> 00:14:05,145
And they'll be choosing
the winning team.
349
00:14:05,147 --> 00:14:07,247
- Jesus.
- Good luck.
350
00:14:11,118 --> 00:14:12,552
- All right,
let's go to beef right now.
351
00:14:12,554 --> 00:14:14,554
- 30 pounds of brisket.
- Brisket.
352
00:14:14,556 --> 00:14:17,489
- 30 pounds.
- 30 pounds.
353
00:14:17,491 --> 00:14:18,557
- Can somebody help me?
354
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,159
- Beef brisket
with a fat cap on it.
355
00:14:20,161 --> 00:14:21,560
- Can I get it
with the fat cap on?
356
00:14:21,562 --> 00:14:23,562
It's like a madhouse
at the meat counter.
357
00:14:23,564 --> 00:14:26,298
- Don't waste your time
cutting it, I'll take it.
358
00:14:26,300 --> 00:14:27,499
- Because you gotta
fight the other teams
359
00:14:27,501 --> 00:14:28,700
in order to
get the meat.
360
00:14:28,702 --> 00:14:30,234
I wanted it
close to 30 pounds.
361
00:14:30,236 --> 00:14:34,105
- I'll take
that one right there.
362
00:14:34,107 --> 00:14:36,173
- Is there any other butcher
that can help me?
363
00:14:38,343 --> 00:14:40,711
- Whitney and Chris are getting
the other things for the chili,
364
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:41,846
and I'm left to
deal with the meat.
365
00:14:41,848 --> 00:14:45,684
I need about
22 more pounds of brisket.
366
00:14:45,686 --> 00:14:48,320
I was the first person
to come up here and ask for it.
367
00:14:48,322 --> 00:14:51,791
I don't understand how we got
out here for 30 pounds.
368
00:14:51,793 --> 00:14:52,993
Do you have more short ribs?
369
00:14:52,995 --> 00:14:54,294
Can I get 20 pounds?
- Yes.
370
00:14:54,296 --> 00:14:55,763
- Pans for the corn bread?
You got it?
371
00:14:55,765 --> 00:14:57,231
- No, I did not get those.
Thank you very much.
372
00:14:57,233 --> 00:14:58,766
- Five minutes, five minutes!
373
00:14:58,768 --> 00:15:00,201
- $13.99 each.
374
00:15:00,203 --> 00:15:01,902
- Now we're gonna
have to find what to take off.
375
00:15:01,904 --> 00:15:03,203
What are we
gonna do with all this?
376
00:15:03,205 --> 00:15:05,406
- That's corn bread if we
have time--if we have money.
377
00:15:05,408 --> 00:15:07,140
- We haven't got
this on through yet.
378
00:15:07,142 --> 00:15:10,076
- Okay, I'm just
putting it here, all right?
379
00:15:10,078 --> 00:15:11,477
- There's just
something about Sarah
380
00:15:11,479 --> 00:15:13,212
that rubs me
the wrong way.
381
00:15:13,214 --> 00:15:16,381
I'm already starting to
see that bitchy side of her.
382
00:15:16,383 --> 00:15:19,718
- I just wanna be able to
see how much that costs.
383
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,819
- Can we do this
by order of importance?
384
00:15:20,821 --> 00:15:22,020
- Yup, meat first.
385
00:15:22,022 --> 00:15:23,388
- 200 people
is a lot to serve
386
00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:26,124
and I know that
cowboys can eat a lot,
387
00:15:26,126 --> 00:15:28,861
so I'm worried that
the amount of food we have
388
00:15:28,863 --> 00:15:31,163
is not gonna be enough.
389
00:15:36,837 --> 00:15:38,070
- Excuse me.
390
00:15:38,072 --> 00:15:41,140
- Coming through,
coming through.
391
00:15:41,142 --> 00:15:42,975
- Nobody take
my breast milk, okay?
392
00:15:42,977 --> 00:15:45,077
- Beverly, Richie and I
all have a plan
393
00:15:45,079 --> 00:15:46,279
on what we're gonna grab.
394
00:15:46,281 --> 00:15:48,014
Richie grabs
all the equipment,
395
00:15:48,016 --> 00:15:50,750
Beverly grabbed produce,
and I grab all of the beer.
396
00:15:50,752 --> 00:15:53,119
- You bitch!
She took all our beer!
397
00:15:53,121 --> 00:15:55,755
- You have to do
what you need to do
398
00:15:55,757 --> 00:15:56,923
in order to succeed.
399
00:15:56,925 --> 00:16:00,793
- Oh, you got one?
Nice.
400
00:16:00,795 --> 00:16:02,361
- Oh, it's been claimed.
401
00:16:02,363 --> 00:16:04,864
I went outside and started
setting up my grilling area,
402
00:16:04,866 --> 00:16:06,933
and it is hot outside.
403
00:16:06,935 --> 00:16:09,635
It has to be
100-plus in the sun.
404
00:16:09,637 --> 00:16:11,237
Ooh.
405
00:16:11,239 --> 00:16:13,238
I really want to cook in the
fireplace and use all that great
406
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,573
wood smoke flavor.
407
00:16:14,575 --> 00:16:15,741
- This is my spot, all right?
Don't let anyone--
408
00:16:15,743 --> 00:16:16,975
- This is my spot
right here.
409
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:18,376
There's not that much
equipment to use.
410
00:16:18,378 --> 00:16:20,645
Just like a riot,
people take what they need.
411
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:21,947
You know,
every man for themselves.
412
00:16:21,949 --> 00:16:23,982
We both have
called it out and claimed it.
413
00:16:23,984 --> 00:16:26,185
- Let's set up
the prep here, Dakota.
414
00:16:26,187 --> 00:16:27,453
- Yeah.
- He's using the plate
415
00:16:27,455 --> 00:16:30,289
and the--both?
- Yes.
416
00:16:30,291 --> 00:16:31,957
- Chris.
417
00:16:31,959 --> 00:16:36,462
I'll give you a sheet pan
if you give me this grate.
418
00:16:36,464 --> 00:16:37,997
- I'm the grill bitch today.
419
00:16:37,999 --> 00:16:39,932
But I need
the sheet pan back.
420
00:16:39,934 --> 00:16:43,869
No matter what,
I need to claim our space
421
00:16:43,871 --> 00:16:45,638
in this, like, fireplace.
422
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,272
- Can I get a second
to figure out
423
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:48,940
which one I
actually really want, 100%?
424
00:16:48,942 --> 00:16:50,142
- Sure, we'll--
I'll come back.
425
00:16:50,144 --> 00:16:51,509
- It smells really good.
426
00:16:51,511 --> 00:16:53,611
I think we need a girl
to sell it to all the cowboys.
427
00:16:53,613 --> 00:16:55,813
- I will--
my dad was a bull rider, so--
428
00:16:55,815 --> 00:16:58,115
- that's so awesome.
That is so awesome.
429
00:16:58,117 --> 00:17:00,551
- Our team is making
chili con carne,
430
00:17:00,553 --> 00:17:04,121
a texan beef Chuck chili
with roasted corn salsa.
431
00:17:04,123 --> 00:17:07,157
We have enough charisma
in this group--nice.
432
00:17:08,561 --> 00:17:09,893
- The scrappy pieces
are gonna be the braise,
433
00:17:09,895 --> 00:17:12,496
and then we're gonna
do really nice back cuts
434
00:17:12,498 --> 00:17:14,197
for the actual chili.
435
00:17:14,199 --> 00:17:15,899
We're cooking braised
brisket short rib chili.
436
00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:18,702
Braising meats is
one of those techniques
437
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:20,136
that the longer
you take with it,
438
00:17:20,138 --> 00:17:22,238
the more flavor you're
really gonna extract.
439
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,573
10-4, bringing up some spice.
440
00:17:24,575 --> 00:17:26,541
We just go ahead and
go in for the long haul.
441
00:17:26,543 --> 00:17:27,976
We're gonna be
up all night
442
00:17:27,978 --> 00:17:29,477
making this the best chili
we can make it.
443
00:17:29,479 --> 00:17:31,146
- I feel like we're
off to a good start.
444
00:17:31,148 --> 00:17:32,413
- I'm gonna cook
all of this down
445
00:17:32,415 --> 00:17:35,583
and make a nice, really
flavorful thick paste to
446
00:17:35,585 --> 00:17:36,651
flavor all of the chili with.
447
00:17:36,653 --> 00:17:37,952
- Okay.
448
00:17:37,954 --> 00:17:40,154
- We're serving
a mole chili with corn bread.
449
00:17:40,156 --> 00:17:42,957
Our chili is so different
from what I see
450
00:17:42,959 --> 00:17:44,225
everyone else doing.
451
00:17:44,227 --> 00:17:45,560
I think that's gonna
be a distinct advantage.
452
00:17:45,562 --> 00:17:47,229
- How do you
want the jalapenos?
453
00:17:47,231 --> 00:17:48,296
- Do you think we should,
like, roast them out first
454
00:17:48,298 --> 00:17:50,499
or something, or--?
455
00:17:50,501 --> 00:17:53,035
- That'd be nice.
456
00:17:53,037 --> 00:17:55,071
- Oh, my God,
and it closes.
457
00:17:55,073 --> 00:17:57,073
- Ho-ho! Set it and forget it.
- I'm done.
458
00:18:01,445 --> 00:18:03,012
- So the next thing
we gotta do is--
459
00:18:03,014 --> 00:18:05,581
- Hey, chefs.
460
00:18:05,583 --> 00:18:08,985
- Tom walks in and took us
all very much by surprise.
461
00:18:08,987 --> 00:18:10,520
- Chocolate in the chili,
all right.
462
00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:11,587
- A little bit.
463
00:18:11,589 --> 00:18:12,588
- You're
the first person so far.
464
00:18:12,590 --> 00:18:13,589
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
465
00:18:13,591 --> 00:18:15,057
What else is
going in the chili?
466
00:18:15,059 --> 00:18:17,793
- Tomatoes, bell peppers,
onions, celery, beef stock.
467
00:18:17,795 --> 00:18:19,261
And cook everything down.
- Uh-huh.
468
00:18:19,263 --> 00:18:20,396
Now do you have
much experience with chili?
469
00:18:20,398 --> 00:18:21,764
- Minimal.
470
00:18:21,766 --> 00:18:24,634
- Good luck.
- Cool, thank you, chef.
471
00:18:24,636 --> 00:18:27,104
- So that's the rest.
That's done.
472
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:28,773
- Hey, chef.
- Hi, chef.
473
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,007
- How are you?
- How are you?
474
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:31,142
- What's going on there?
What do you have?
475
00:18:31,144 --> 00:18:33,278
- Both short ribs and brisket.
- Okay.
476
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,846
- And we made
a spice rub for them.
477
00:18:34,848 --> 00:18:37,715
We're making a very concerted
effort to pull as much flavor
478
00:18:37,717 --> 00:18:40,818
out of the meat as we can
and make a very savory broth.
479
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:42,820
And we feel really confident
about what we're doing.
480
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:44,288
- No secret ingredient?
481
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:46,290
- We can't tell you
that secret ingredient.
482
00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:48,158
- Paul, you wanna start sautéing
the veg?
483
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,259
- Hey, chef.
- Yeah.
484
00:18:49,261 --> 00:18:50,594
- Hi, Tom!
- What are you guys up to?
485
00:18:50,596 --> 00:18:51,995
- We're, uh,
smoking some brisket.
486
00:18:51,997 --> 00:18:53,029
- Okay.
487
00:18:53,031 --> 00:18:54,430
- Yeah, and some
short ribs underneath.
488
00:18:54,432 --> 00:18:57,400
Even though the guests
are choosing the winner
489
00:18:57,402 --> 00:18:59,302
of the chili cook-off,
the judges are the ones
490
00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:00,770
that are gonna
be sending someone
491
00:19:00,772 --> 00:19:01,838
from the losing team home.
492
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,239
We're gonna
pickle some peaches.
493
00:19:03,241 --> 00:19:04,908
- That goes in,
or is that a side?
494
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:06,810
- It's gonna be on the side.
- What's that all about?
495
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:08,579
- Well, I think you gotta really
layer the flavors of the chili.
496
00:19:08,581 --> 00:19:10,782
Tom said, "oh,
you're using peaches?"
497
00:19:10,784 --> 00:19:13,218
Now I'm second-guessing myself.
498
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:16,888
This could be a complete
and utter disaster.
499
00:19:19,825 --> 00:19:21,727
- All right, come here.
- Whoo!
500
00:19:23,597 --> 00:19:24,896
Do it!!
501
00:19:24,898 --> 00:19:27,766
- Oh! I did it!
502
00:19:27,768 --> 00:19:29,802
- Look at that gigantc star.
503
00:19:33,794 --> 00:19:35,495
- I'm getting very tired.
504
00:19:35,497 --> 00:19:36,863
- Use your teeth.
505
00:19:36,865 --> 00:19:38,731
Holy , do it!
506
00:19:38,733 --> 00:19:41,334
Oh, I did it!
507
00:19:41,336 --> 00:19:43,369
Oh!
508
00:19:43,371 --> 00:19:45,138
- Driveth away.
509
00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:46,573
All right.
510
00:19:46,575 --> 00:19:49,075
Oh, my God!
511
00:19:49,077 --> 00:19:51,744
- Hey, I'm a little lost.
Anybody seen the caves?
512
00:19:51,746 --> 00:19:52,779
- Oh, my God.
- No?
513
00:19:52,781 --> 00:19:55,115
- Where did you get that?
514
00:19:55,117 --> 00:19:57,083
- Oh, I love it.
515
00:19:57,085 --> 00:19:59,385
- Winding into the
late hours of the night,
516
00:19:59,387 --> 00:20:01,521
we're all
kind of out of it.
517
00:20:01,523 --> 00:20:03,623
- Look at that gigantic star.
518
00:20:03,625 --> 00:20:05,525
- I'm so tired.
519
00:20:05,527 --> 00:20:08,294
- Several times throughout the
evening we have to remind chuy
520
00:20:08,296 --> 00:20:09,896
that the beer
is for cooking
521
00:20:09,898 --> 00:20:11,931
and not ingesting.
522
00:20:11,933 --> 00:20:14,200
Oh!
523
00:20:14,202 --> 00:20:17,403
- I graduated high school
at about 110 pounds.
524
00:20:17,405 --> 00:20:18,838
I was seriously all muscle.
525
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,207
- We get to hear about
20 stories a day
526
00:20:21,209 --> 00:20:24,076
of his accomplishments
or his father inventing chili.
527
00:20:24,078 --> 00:20:27,513
- I have muscles in places where
I didn't even have places yet.
528
00:20:27,515 --> 00:20:30,683
- I've dubbed him as "the most
interesting man in the world."
529
00:20:30,685 --> 00:20:33,587
- You guys are pansies.
Come on.
530
00:20:42,764 --> 00:20:44,565
- Chili has this
magical thing about it
531
00:20:44,567 --> 00:20:47,168
that the longer is cooks,
the better it tastes.
532
00:20:47,170 --> 00:20:48,636
Would I like to be done?
533
00:20:48,638 --> 00:20:51,640
Of course, but there's
no sleep till the rodeo.
534
00:20:51,642 --> 00:20:54,109
Chili's an all-nighter.
535
00:20:54,111 --> 00:20:59,148
- One, two, three.
536
00:20:59,150 --> 00:21:00,316
The chili is finished.
537
00:21:02,252 --> 00:21:03,886
Everything is tasting amazing.
538
00:21:03,888 --> 00:21:06,056
I feel that our team
has made something special.
539
00:21:06,058 --> 00:21:07,424
- Did you get
the cinnamon at the end?
540
00:21:07,426 --> 00:21:09,693
- Mm-hm.
- I think it's really nice.
541
00:21:09,695 --> 00:21:11,128
- It's the sort of chili
that you would love to eat
542
00:21:11,130 --> 00:21:12,229
on a rainy day.
543
00:21:12,231 --> 00:21:14,198
Is anybody trying
to sleep at this point?
544
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,433
- Um, I'm sleeping right here.
545
00:21:15,435 --> 00:21:18,336
- All three of us
decide to stay up
546
00:21:18,338 --> 00:21:20,971
because we know that
this is a competition
547
00:21:20,973 --> 00:21:22,873
and we have to be
with this until the end.
548
00:21:22,875 --> 00:21:24,741
- I'm actually taking a nap.
549
00:21:24,743 --> 00:21:25,742
- I know my
eyes are open,
550
00:21:25,744 --> 00:21:28,211
but I'm actually....
551
00:21:28,213 --> 00:21:29,712
- All right.
552
00:21:29,714 --> 00:21:30,847
I'm gonna go
jump in the shower then.
553
00:21:30,849 --> 00:21:32,315
- Good night.
- Nighty night.
554
00:21:32,317 --> 00:21:33,783
- See you in the morning.
555
00:21:33,785 --> 00:21:35,886
I'll still be
picking cilantro.
556
00:21:35,888 --> 00:21:39,089
- Oh, wow.
557
00:21:39,091 --> 00:21:41,525
- This is the
picture of exhaustion.
558
00:21:48,603 --> 00:21:50,236
- Morning, people.
559
00:21:50,238 --> 00:21:53,006
- Oh, good morning,
how are you doing today?
560
00:21:53,008 --> 00:21:56,375
- Oh, just a little
ray of light over here.
561
00:21:56,377 --> 00:21:57,577
Wake up this morning...
562
00:21:57,579 --> 00:21:59,145
Dead tired.
563
00:21:59,147 --> 00:22:00,879
How late
did you hang out?
564
00:22:00,881 --> 00:22:03,215
- Oh, as soon
as you went to bed,
565
00:22:03,217 --> 00:22:05,517
the bugs outside
started attacking.
566
00:22:05,519 --> 00:22:07,152
- Some people didn't
even sleep all night
567
00:22:07,154 --> 00:22:08,786
and I'm thinking,
"how are they gonna
568
00:22:08,788 --> 00:22:10,321
"make it today?
569
00:22:10,323 --> 00:22:12,156
This is gonna be
a late night coming up."
570
00:22:12,158 --> 00:22:14,391
- Hey, are you guys all excited
we're going to a rodeo?
571
00:22:14,393 --> 00:22:15,659
- I really am.
- I am.
572
00:22:15,661 --> 00:22:16,960
- I kinda am.
- I'm excited!
573
00:22:16,962 --> 00:22:19,463
- Do they ride stallions?
574
00:22:19,465 --> 00:22:20,998
Like...
575
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
- Oh, yeah, dude.
We're in Texas.
576
00:22:24,036 --> 00:22:25,503
- All right,
you rodeo clowns,
577
00:22:25,505 --> 00:22:26,971
let's mosey
on outta here.
578
00:22:26,973 --> 00:22:28,039
- Whoo!
579
00:22:28,041 --> 00:22:30,075
- Yee-haw!
580
00:22:32,946 --> 00:22:35,181
- At this point,
we're all kind of cuckoo,
581
00:22:35,183 --> 00:22:36,549
'cause we were
up all night.
582
00:22:36,551 --> 00:22:37,850
- Ooh.
583
00:22:37,852 --> 00:22:40,520
- But we hop in the
Toyota Siennas and head off
584
00:22:40,522 --> 00:22:43,356
to the rodeo.
585
00:22:43,358 --> 00:22:45,291
- Why you gotta do that?
- Sorry.
586
00:22:45,293 --> 00:22:48,661
- Is this gonna be, like,
10,000 screaming cowboys
587
00:22:48,663 --> 00:22:49,629
at this thing?
588
00:22:51,932 --> 00:22:54,301
- They, like, "Armor All"
the steers' coats.
589
00:22:54,303 --> 00:22:55,902
- Are you serious?
- Oh, yeah.
590
00:22:55,904 --> 00:22:57,537
- I think it's, like,
cold and lonely--
591
00:22:57,539 --> 00:22:58,839
- Yeah.
- Being out here.
592
00:22:58,841 --> 00:23:00,674
- Cold and lonely
and you could get murdered
593
00:23:00,676 --> 00:23:02,342
and no one
would know it.
594
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,315
- Let's go, guys.
595
00:23:12,188 --> 00:23:14,154
- Giddy up!
596
00:23:14,156 --> 00:23:17,124
I'm excited--I get
my cowgirl hat on immediately,
597
00:23:17,126 --> 00:23:18,592
'cause this is
making me feel at home.
598
00:23:18,594 --> 00:23:21,529
We have one hour
to prep for service.
599
00:23:21,531 --> 00:23:23,731
I'm happy that we
have the time to really
600
00:23:23,733 --> 00:23:27,001
heat up the chili slowly
to make sure that it
601
00:23:27,003 --> 00:23:28,903
gets really hot
but doesn't scorch.
602
00:23:28,905 --> 00:23:33,006
- No scorching, no scorching.
603
00:23:33,008 --> 00:23:36,777
I'm on reheat duty.
It's a lot of chili to reheat
604
00:23:36,779 --> 00:23:38,512
and if you're not
constantly stirring it,
605
00:23:38,514 --> 00:23:40,981
you have a tendency
to burn the bottom.
606
00:23:40,983 --> 00:23:44,985
I do not want all this work
and effort going out the window.
607
00:23:44,987 --> 00:23:47,989
Heating, transferring,
heating, transferring.
608
00:23:47,991 --> 00:23:49,490
- Ed, you're a genius!
609
00:23:49,492 --> 00:23:51,960
- Oh, did I just
reveal myself to everyone?
610
00:23:51,962 --> 00:23:54,362
- Thanks for the
winning secret, buddy!
611
00:23:54,364 --> 00:23:56,298
- I get that chocolate now.
612
00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:57,766
- Now I get
the chocolate, yeah.
613
00:23:57,768 --> 00:23:59,702
- The hardest part of this
so far has been
614
00:23:59,704 --> 00:24:01,637
finishing in the bottom
on both quickfires.
615
00:24:01,639 --> 00:24:04,607
But, you know,
it's a brand-new day.
616
00:24:04,609 --> 00:24:06,609
I think we have
a good tasting chili.
617
00:24:06,611 --> 00:24:08,277
I made this corn bread,
so I feel confident
618
00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:10,680
in my contribution
to our team.
619
00:24:10,682 --> 00:24:12,882
- The carrot is lacking.
620
00:24:12,884 --> 00:24:14,817
- Let's do some salt.
621
00:24:14,819 --> 00:24:17,086
- I'm about to go back there
and grab that bottle
622
00:24:17,088 --> 00:24:18,755
or "hot damn" and start
pouring it down your throat
623
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:20,123
unless you
start smiling, missy.
624
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:21,991
- Me?
- Yes.
625
00:24:21,993 --> 00:24:24,360
- I've worked in street stalls
from Bangkok to 5th Avenue.
626
00:24:24,362 --> 00:24:26,628
I love interacting with people,
627
00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:28,597
and I'm gonna be
completely in my element.
628
00:24:28,599 --> 00:24:31,166
- Save a horse,
ride a cowboy.
629
00:24:31,168 --> 00:24:33,601
- What else do we got
in our magic bag of tricks?
630
00:24:33,603 --> 00:24:36,037
- You wanna differentiate it
from all the other chilies.
631
00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:37,672
- Good?
632
00:24:37,674 --> 00:24:40,641
- I like it.
I think salt and we're good.
633
00:24:40,643 --> 00:24:42,343
- Just plain scraps?
- Yup.
634
00:24:42,345 --> 00:24:43,677
Tell me what you think.
635
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:45,346
The cowboys
are gonna be deciding
636
00:24:45,348 --> 00:24:48,148
who wins the chili cook-off,
but the judges decide
637
00:24:48,150 --> 00:24:51,050
on who is going home,
and I'm concerned about
638
00:24:51,052 --> 00:24:53,786
how much heat we've
put into this chili.
639
00:24:53,788 --> 00:24:56,188
I'm really hoping we don't
burn someone's palate out.
640
00:24:56,190 --> 00:24:58,524
We don't have a sign
on our station, do we?
641
00:24:58,526 --> 00:25:00,259
- We're gonna have a sign,
it's gonna be my loud mouth
642
00:25:00,261 --> 00:25:02,328
saying everybody
needs to come over here.
643
00:25:03,932 --> 00:25:07,233
- Uh-oh, here we go.
644
00:25:07,235 --> 00:25:10,669
- How are you guys
doing today?
645
00:25:10,671 --> 00:25:11,670
- You guys ready
to try some chili?
646
00:25:11,672 --> 00:25:12,838
- Absolutely.
647
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,407
- We see some serious
cowboys and cowgirls
648
00:25:15,409 --> 00:25:16,808
walking up.
649
00:25:16,810 --> 00:25:17,910
I don't know
if you can mosey.
650
00:25:17,912 --> 00:25:19,378
I'm not a moseyer, really.
651
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:22,015
I don't mosey in
my everyday life.
652
00:25:22,017 --> 00:25:25,485
- Maybe we
should trade hats.
653
00:25:25,487 --> 00:25:26,953
Give me my hat back.
- Absolutely.
654
00:25:26,955 --> 00:25:28,555
- All right.
655
00:25:28,557 --> 00:25:30,457
- Our chili has been
cooking the longest.
656
00:25:30,459 --> 00:25:32,392
Just so you all know.
- Looks good, smells good.
657
00:25:36,530 --> 00:25:39,031
- Nobody told me
how slippery these were.
658
00:25:39,033 --> 00:25:40,900
- We're white.
Don't vote blue!
659
00:25:40,902 --> 00:25:42,435
- Red team!
660
00:25:42,437 --> 00:25:43,669
- There is some
soul in there.
661
00:25:43,671 --> 00:25:46,705
- I grew up here
and I knew--no beans.
662
00:25:46,707 --> 00:25:48,506
- This is the
authentic chili right there.
663
00:25:48,508 --> 00:25:49,974
When service starts I go,
664
00:25:49,976 --> 00:25:52,409
"wow, these people
are really Texas."
665
00:25:52,411 --> 00:25:54,111
- Texas chili
doesn't have beans in it.
666
00:25:54,113 --> 00:25:55,446
- No.
667
00:25:55,448 --> 00:25:57,348
- They're, like, "oh,
is this real Texas chili?"
668
00:25:57,350 --> 00:25:58,949
And I'm just, like,
"yes, sir, it is.
669
00:25:58,951 --> 00:26:01,052
There's no beans
in this whatsoever, y'all."
670
00:26:01,054 --> 00:26:03,522
And Sarah's milking the whole
"I'm from Houston" thing.
671
00:26:03,524 --> 00:26:06,992
She's gonna charm the dudes,
Chris is gonna charm the ladies.
672
00:26:06,994 --> 00:26:08,027
We have a good game plan.
673
00:26:08,029 --> 00:26:09,862
Everything was
made with a lot of love
674
00:26:09,864 --> 00:26:11,631
and, uh, a lot of beer
in us and in the chili.
675
00:26:11,633 --> 00:26:12,732
- There you go.
676
00:26:12,734 --> 00:26:14,168
- And one of them
is from Texas.
677
00:26:14,170 --> 00:26:15,369
Born and raised texan.
678
00:26:17,941 --> 00:26:20,875
- This is the black team.
A mole inspired chili.
679
00:26:20,877 --> 00:26:22,810
- On the old cattle drives,
they didn't have the sour cream.
680
00:26:22,812 --> 00:26:23,978
- Is that right?
681
00:26:23,980 --> 00:26:25,613
- Yeah, they're
just ol' beef and beans.
682
00:26:25,615 --> 00:26:27,916
- Seeing their demographic,
it might be a little bit
683
00:26:27,918 --> 00:26:29,384
too complex
for this group.
684
00:26:29,386 --> 00:26:33,689
But if we don't come out on top
from the opinion of the cowboys,
685
00:26:33,691 --> 00:26:37,692
I'm hoping that the judges
see that we didn't play it safe.
686
00:26:37,694 --> 00:26:39,795
- I've never tasted chili
like this before.
687
00:26:39,797 --> 00:26:42,631
That's why
it's so good.
688
00:26:42,633 --> 00:26:43,732
- Really?
The mole the best?
689
00:26:43,734 --> 00:26:45,066
- Mm-hmm.
690
00:26:45,068 --> 00:26:46,702
- Hi.
- Hey, how you doing, man?
691
00:26:46,704 --> 00:26:47,970
What's up?
What's happening?
692
00:26:47,972 --> 00:26:49,504
- A shiner.
- Uh-huh.
693
00:26:49,506 --> 00:26:51,072
- Cheers, Tom.
694
00:26:51,074 --> 00:26:52,807
- Somebody needs to
open this for me.
695
00:26:52,809 --> 00:26:54,842
I don't have any feeling
in that finger.
696
00:26:54,844 --> 00:26:55,876
Keep going.
697
00:26:55,878 --> 00:26:58,111
A weird bagel accident.
Don't ask.
698
00:26:58,113 --> 00:26:59,879
- That's a hard one.
- Oh, no.
699
00:26:59,881 --> 00:27:01,347
- Thank you.
700
00:27:01,349 --> 00:27:02,648
Thank you, pardner.
701
00:27:04,152 --> 00:27:05,784
Never send a man
to do a woman's job.
702
00:27:05,786 --> 00:27:09,288
That's right.
703
00:27:09,290 --> 00:27:11,123
- All right,
let's go taste some chili.
704
00:27:14,761 --> 00:27:16,195
- Hello, hi.
705
00:27:16,197 --> 00:27:17,663
How are you?
706
00:27:17,665 --> 00:27:20,200
- We made a traditional chili,
no beans.
707
00:27:20,202 --> 00:27:22,736
We did beef chuck,
the old wagon way.
708
00:27:22,738 --> 00:27:24,238
Then we hit it off
with a lot of shiner bock,
709
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:25,339
reduced that.
710
00:27:25,341 --> 00:27:26,474
- And your garnish?
711
00:27:26,476 --> 00:27:27,675
It's a roasted corn,
712
00:27:27,677 --> 00:27:29,010
we're all white onion,
713
00:27:29,012 --> 00:27:31,680
avocado, lime, salt,
then a little bit of cilantro.
714
00:27:31,682 --> 00:27:33,516
- Nice, nice.
- Thanks.
715
00:27:33,518 --> 00:27:35,251
- Much obliged, much obliged.
- Thank you.
716
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:36,919
- It's got a little bit
of kick to it, that's--
717
00:27:36,921 --> 00:27:38,987
you gotta have a Texas chili
that's got some kick to it.
718
00:27:38,989 --> 00:27:40,288
- Right.
- We should cook this
719
00:27:40,290 --> 00:27:42,123
- for dinner with the tacos.
- - Yeah.
720
00:27:42,125 --> 00:27:45,492
- I love the depth of flavor
that they got out of it.
721
00:27:45,494 --> 00:27:46,860
- Yeah, and you know,
it grows on you.
722
00:27:46,862 --> 00:27:48,028
The first bite I had,
it was, like,
723
00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:49,729
"eh, it's okay."
And it just--it grows.
724
00:27:49,731 --> 00:27:51,031
It just gets
better and better.
725
00:27:51,033 --> 00:27:52,398
- It is a little thin,
though.
726
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,935
I sort of wish there was
something to soak it up.
727
00:27:55,937 --> 00:27:57,703
- I would have served it
with maybe a tortilla
728
00:27:57,705 --> 00:27:59,639
or some chips or something--
'cause you're right.
729
00:27:59,641 --> 00:28:00,873
It's got a lot of sauce.
730
00:28:00,875 --> 00:28:03,944
- Vote green, vote green.
731
00:28:03,946 --> 00:28:05,512
- Judges.
- Enjoy.
732
00:28:05,514 --> 00:28:07,581
- Hello, welcome
to the red table.
733
00:28:07,583 --> 00:28:11,118
We have a braised brisket
and short rib chili.
734
00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:12,987
We built the flavors,
we built our own stock
735
00:28:12,989 --> 00:28:14,321
with the bones
from the short ribs.
736
00:28:14,323 --> 00:28:15,423
There you go.
737
00:28:15,425 --> 00:28:16,424
- Good luck!
- Thanks a lot.
738
00:28:16,426 --> 00:28:17,825
- Yee-haw!
739
00:28:17,827 --> 00:28:19,193
Hey, step right up!
- Chili's back on!
740
00:28:19,195 --> 00:28:20,327
- Taste our chili!
741
00:28:20,329 --> 00:28:22,563
- I just don't
like the texture.
742
00:28:24,967 --> 00:28:26,200
- I think the red team
has a great
743
00:28:26,202 --> 00:28:28,669
kind of subtle smokiness.
- Mm-hmm.
744
00:28:28,671 --> 00:28:30,204
- And just
the right amount of heat.
745
00:28:30,206 --> 00:28:31,806
- It's seasoned well.
- It is.
746
00:28:31,808 --> 00:28:32,806
- Yeah.
747
00:28:32,808 --> 00:28:33,940
- A good amount
of cumin comes through.
748
00:28:33,942 --> 00:28:35,442
But there's also
a good amount of acid.
749
00:28:35,444 --> 00:28:37,044
- The texture of
the red team's chili
750
00:28:37,046 --> 00:28:38,946
is a little bit
stringy for sure.
751
00:28:38,948 --> 00:28:41,081
- Do y'all have any
beans in your chili?
752
00:28:41,083 --> 00:28:42,916
- No beans in our chili.
- You know what?
753
00:28:42,918 --> 00:28:44,018
- I have to say,
754
00:28:44,020 --> 00:28:45,219
anybody who knows beans
about chili knows
755
00:28:45,221 --> 00:28:46,754
chili ain't got no beans.
756
00:28:46,756 --> 00:28:49,024
- Yeah! Whoo!
757
00:28:49,026 --> 00:28:50,892
- All right.
758
00:28:50,894 --> 00:28:52,361
- It's very spicy.
759
00:28:52,363 --> 00:28:53,962
- It was spicy
but it wasn't--
760
00:28:53,964 --> 00:28:55,831
- and I can taste the brisket,
I liked that.
761
00:28:55,833 --> 00:28:58,033
- Remember...
762
00:28:58,035 --> 00:28:59,301
Blue means best.
- Yes!
763
00:28:59,303 --> 00:29:01,436
- Hi, welcome.
764
00:29:01,438 --> 00:29:03,437
We have a
smoked brisket chili,
765
00:29:03,439 --> 00:29:07,675
with some pickled peaches,
radishes,.
766
00:29:07,677 --> 00:29:09,410
Just a little pickling spice,
and we're pork rinds
767
00:29:09,412 --> 00:29:10,411
right on
the top of the chili.
768
00:29:10,413 --> 00:29:11,813
- Nice, thank you, guys.
769
00:29:11,815 --> 00:29:13,648
- I like the crunchy--
- you've got the crunchy,
770
00:29:13,650 --> 00:29:15,016
you've got the
chewiness of the meat.
771
00:29:15,018 --> 00:29:16,183
- You've got the spiciness.
772
00:29:16,185 --> 00:29:17,985
- What's with
the pickled peaches?
773
00:29:17,987 --> 00:29:19,887
It's now my official favorite
thing to eat with chili.
774
00:29:19,889 --> 00:29:21,756
Delicious.
- Blue team did a great job
775
00:29:21,758 --> 00:29:25,293
with vegetables, hot sauce.
The chili, mmm...
776
00:29:25,295 --> 00:29:27,996
- It's got summer pickles
and pork rinds.
777
00:29:27,998 --> 00:29:29,364
- Thank you.
- There you go.
778
00:29:29,366 --> 00:29:30,366
- Thank you very much.
- You're welcome.
779
00:29:30,368 --> 00:29:31,467
- Hi.
- Hi.
780
00:29:31,469 --> 00:29:32,535
- How are you?
781
00:29:32,537 --> 00:29:34,437
So we have
a mole inspired chili
782
00:29:34,439 --> 00:29:36,472
by using
the bittersweet chocolate,
783
00:29:36,474 --> 00:29:38,841
some cinnamon,
just get the sweet in there.
784
00:29:38,843 --> 00:29:40,109
And the complexity
of the flavors.
785
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:42,812
- Okay.
- Enjoy it.
786
00:29:42,814 --> 00:29:46,449
- The black team's corn bread
is definitely moister,
787
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:48,051
it's got more flavor.
788
00:29:48,053 --> 00:29:51,188
- Unfortunately for them,
it's not a corn bread contest.
789
00:29:51,190 --> 00:29:55,159
- I just wish the black team
had made more of a focus
790
00:29:55,161 --> 00:29:56,894
of what they
were going after.
791
00:29:56,896 --> 00:30:00,797
- But they intended for it to be
a chili that reminded us
792
00:30:00,799 --> 00:30:03,399
of mole, and that's
exactly what it is.
793
00:30:03,401 --> 00:30:04,868
- Sweet!
- Ooh.
794
00:30:04,870 --> 00:30:06,035
- Nice!
- Woo-hoo!
795
00:30:06,037 --> 00:30:16,244
- Hi, guys.
796
00:30:16,246 --> 00:30:17,545
- Thank you.
797
00:30:17,547 --> 00:30:20,915
- Number five is the worst.
You should put in one.
798
00:30:20,917 --> 00:30:23,151
- I wish the white team
hadn't have put
799
00:30:23,153 --> 00:30:25,053
the pickled vegetables
in the chili.
800
00:30:25,055 --> 00:30:27,188
- I loved the pickle in it.
801
00:30:27,190 --> 00:30:30,125
I love that
acid in it, but...
802
00:30:30,127 --> 00:30:32,160
I like acid.
- Yeah.
803
00:30:32,162 --> 00:30:34,596
- Okay, done.
804
00:30:34,598 --> 00:30:37,165
- I was afraid I was gonna
taste all these chilies
805
00:30:37,167 --> 00:30:39,167
and they were gonna
all taste the same to me,
806
00:30:39,169 --> 00:30:41,603
but each one was
completely different.
807
00:30:41,605 --> 00:30:43,338
- I have to say I'm glad
we're not choosing the winner
808
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:44,906
'cause I think we'd have
a really hard time doing that.
809
00:30:44,908 --> 00:30:47,508
- But we still have to
choose the losing team,
810
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:49,144
and that in itself
I think is gonna be really hard.
811
00:30:49,146 --> 00:30:51,012
- Tom, there were
a couple of teams
812
00:30:51,014 --> 00:30:53,415
that were less successful.
Who do you think those were?
813
00:30:53,417 --> 00:30:55,050
- The black team...
814
00:30:55,052 --> 00:30:56,418
Just ate
way too sweet for me.
815
00:30:56,420 --> 00:30:58,621
- You got that sort of
chocolatey mole-ness,
816
00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:01,657
but it didn't eat like a chili,
it didn't feel like a chili
817
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:03,092
and I wanted more heat.
818
00:31:03,094 --> 00:31:05,394
- I feel 1,000 times better
today than I did last night.
819
00:31:05,396 --> 00:31:06,897
- Yeah.
820
00:31:06,899 --> 00:31:09,333
So many people came back for
seconds, I couldn't believe it.
821
00:31:09,335 --> 00:31:11,202
- As much as I liked
the red team's flavor,
822
00:31:11,204 --> 00:31:13,404
the shredded meat
I just didn't care for.
823
00:31:13,406 --> 00:31:16,273
- It was the one I wanted
to take the least amount
824
00:31:16,275 --> 00:31:18,308
of continued bites.
825
00:31:18,310 --> 00:31:22,145
- Wow, we had enough.
- Yeah, we did good.
826
00:31:22,147 --> 00:31:23,379
- With the red team,
827
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:25,548
I still liked the flavor--
- the flavor was great.
828
00:31:25,550 --> 00:31:26,782
- More than the white team.
829
00:31:26,784 --> 00:31:29,050
The white team's
didn't have any heat,
830
00:31:29,052 --> 00:31:31,486
so that was
sort of flat for me.
831
00:31:31,488 --> 00:31:35,056
- I think ours is
phenomenal.
832
00:31:35,058 --> 00:31:36,691
- Well, I guess we're just
gonna have to wait and see
833
00:31:36,693 --> 00:31:38,660
what the diners thought
once the votes are tallied.
834
00:31:38,662 --> 00:31:40,796
- It is really good.
835
00:31:40,798 --> 00:31:42,732
I feel a sense
of accomplishment.
836
00:31:42,734 --> 00:31:44,200
Ty-lor and I both
were in the bottom
837
00:31:44,202 --> 00:31:45,267
on the first challenge,
838
00:31:45,269 --> 00:31:47,169
but I will not
go back there.
839
00:31:47,171 --> 00:31:48,170
Not this time.
840
00:31:48,172 --> 00:31:49,172
Hell no.
841
00:31:57,750 --> 00:32:00,584
- How much more
can you throw at us?
842
00:32:00,586 --> 00:32:03,453
- I feel sick
to my stomach.
843
00:32:08,611 --> 00:32:10,378
- Hey, everybody!
844
00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:11,813
It's time to go rodeo!
845
00:32:11,815 --> 00:32:14,582
- All right,
let's go, let's do it.
846
00:32:17,353 --> 00:32:18,586
- Yeah!
847
00:32:21,591 --> 00:32:24,491
- I am the giver of life.
I am the giver of life.
848
00:32:24,493 --> 00:32:26,993
- Service was
definitely difficult,
849
00:32:26,995 --> 00:32:29,296
but the round of applause
was really comforting
850
00:32:29,298 --> 00:32:31,632
and such a great feeling.
851
00:32:31,634 --> 00:32:34,970
- Whoo!
852
00:32:34,972 --> 00:32:38,140
- Tejas rodeo stampede
center stage!
853
00:32:42,513 --> 00:32:43,980
- The rodeo is so cool.
854
00:32:43,982 --> 00:32:47,049
I've never been to Texas--
seeing this whole new sport.
855
00:32:47,051 --> 00:32:49,652
That's truly,
truly a magical experience.
856
00:32:51,256 --> 00:32:53,456
- Whoo! Yeah!
857
00:32:53,458 --> 00:32:56,559
- Wow, look at that.
858
00:33:01,865 --> 00:33:03,465
- I am just
thinking about
859
00:33:03,467 --> 00:33:05,033
how much I wish
my husband was here
860
00:33:05,035 --> 00:33:06,434
to experience this.
861
00:33:06,436 --> 00:33:07,836
It's a good thing, you know?
862
00:33:07,838 --> 00:33:09,738
It's, like, I'm happy.
863
00:33:09,740 --> 00:33:12,976
- It's such a happy moment,
everyone is on good spirits
864
00:33:12,978 --> 00:33:16,313
and on a professional level,
it's just weird.
865
00:33:16,315 --> 00:33:17,948
I'm used to
very hardcore chefs.
866
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:19,850
There's no crying
in cooking.
867
00:33:19,852 --> 00:33:21,685
He'll get the chance.
868
00:33:21,687 --> 00:33:24,054
- Oh, I have no doubt.
- Yeah.
869
00:33:24,056 --> 00:33:28,492
- I have no doubt
in my mind.
870
00:33:28,494 --> 00:33:31,895
- You're gonna
make me cry.
871
00:33:31,897 --> 00:33:33,163
On a personal level,
872
00:33:33,165 --> 00:33:34,764
I'm a very
compassionate person.
873
00:33:34,766 --> 00:33:38,268
But you can't let your emotions
show with the rest of the group
874
00:33:38,270 --> 00:33:39,903
because then they
perceive you as weak.
875
00:33:39,905 --> 00:33:41,905
Now you know where
all the good spots are.
876
00:33:41,907 --> 00:33:45,976
- Yeah, definitely, all
the memories that we have here.
877
00:33:45,978 --> 00:33:49,446
I'll never forget.
- Yup.
878
00:33:49,448 --> 00:33:51,481
- Rodeo fans,
it is now time
879
00:33:51,483 --> 00:33:56,653
to introduce the 2011 Tejas
rodeo chili cook-off winner.
880
00:34:04,228 --> 00:34:07,797
- Whoo!
881
00:34:07,799 --> 00:34:11,134
- Seeing Padma on a horse,
it's like looking at Fabio
882
00:34:11,136 --> 00:34:12,702
on the cover of one
of his romance novels
883
00:34:12,704 --> 00:34:14,838
with his hair
blowing in the wind.
884
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,074
It's just pure beauty.
885
00:34:18,076 --> 00:34:19,809
Am I sweating again?
886
00:34:19,811 --> 00:34:21,745
- I wanna thank
everyone for coming.
887
00:34:21,747 --> 00:34:23,547
It's been a wonderful evening.
888
00:34:26,818 --> 00:34:29,119
Fans...
889
00:34:29,121 --> 00:34:33,490
The winner of the
2011 Tejas chili cook-off...
890
00:34:35,293 --> 00:34:36,693
Is...
891
00:34:40,464 --> 00:34:42,098
The green team!
892
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:44,700
- Yeah!
- Congratulations.
893
00:34:44,702 --> 00:34:47,704
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
894
00:34:47,706 --> 00:34:48,938
- It feels awesome.
895
00:34:48,940 --> 00:34:52,042
We knew what they like
in their chili,
896
00:34:52,044 --> 00:34:54,311
and it makes me proud
to be a Texan.
897
00:34:54,313 --> 00:34:56,179
Oh, my gosh.
898
00:34:56,181 --> 00:34:57,882
- Unfortunately,
899
00:34:57,884 --> 00:35:01,385
black team,
you served the judges'
900
00:35:01,387 --> 00:35:03,722
least favorite chili,
and someone from your team
901
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:05,991
will be going home.
902
00:35:05,993 --> 00:35:11,429
- My heart sinks
into a puddle of despair.
903
00:35:11,431 --> 00:35:15,266
- But, we're gonna give you
one last chance to prove
904
00:35:15,268 --> 00:35:18,002
that you belong here.
905
00:35:18,004 --> 00:35:20,805
- Don't tell me another
wrench thrown in the mix.
906
00:35:20,807 --> 00:35:22,607
We were up cooking
throughout the night already.
907
00:35:22,609 --> 00:35:25,944
How much more
can you throw at us?
908
00:35:25,946 --> 00:35:30,182
- Your task is to transform
that losing chili
909
00:35:30,184 --> 00:35:32,685
into a winning dish.
910
00:35:32,687 --> 00:35:35,321
You have 30 minutes
to cook here.
911
00:35:35,323 --> 00:35:37,023
- Oh, ,
what am I gonna do?
912
00:35:37,025 --> 00:35:39,025
It's scary,
you're so tired
913
00:35:39,027 --> 00:35:40,560
and emotionally drained.
914
00:35:40,562 --> 00:35:42,730
I feel sick
to my stomach.
915
00:35:42,732 --> 00:35:43,731
- Your time...
916
00:35:43,733 --> 00:35:46,767
Starts now.
917
00:35:49,438 --> 00:35:52,106
- Get it together.
- Get it together.
918
00:35:52,108 --> 00:35:54,708
Running into that kitchen,
I have to draw inspiration
919
00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:59,447
from the depths of my soul
that I didn't know existed.
920
00:35:59,449 --> 00:36:02,883
Our teammates
are now our enemies.
921
00:36:02,885 --> 00:36:04,285
We're all fighting
for our lives at this point.
922
00:36:04,287 --> 00:36:06,220
- I'm a little--
really pissed off.
923
00:36:06,222 --> 00:36:08,055
- 'Cause I don't know
what I'm gonna do right now.
924
00:36:08,057 --> 00:36:10,691
- Nyesha and Beverly
seem kind of defeated,
925
00:36:10,693 --> 00:36:13,061
but I'm feeling confident
and very focused.
926
00:36:13,063 --> 00:36:14,629
Come on,
buddy, get hot.
927
00:36:14,631 --> 00:36:17,166
I'm gonna repurpose my chili
a couple of different ways.
928
00:36:17,168 --> 00:36:18,333
I see fritos,
so I'm thinking I can
929
00:36:18,335 --> 00:36:21,738
coat pork tenderloin
in the fritos.
930
00:36:21,740 --> 00:36:24,574
It's something unique
to keep myself in this game.
931
00:36:24,576 --> 00:36:27,811
Uh, 21 minutes left!
932
00:36:28,781 --> 00:36:32,249
- You okay?
- Yeah.
933
00:36:32,251 --> 00:36:33,650
- Uh...
934
00:36:33,652 --> 00:36:35,785
Maybe...
935
00:36:35,787 --> 00:36:38,488
I'm thinking about what
I can do with the chili dish,
936
00:36:38,490 --> 00:36:40,689
and it's not
coming together right away.
937
00:36:40,691 --> 00:36:41,757
Can I just--take one.
938
00:36:41,759 --> 00:36:43,291
- There's...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
939
00:36:43,293 --> 00:36:44,459
Take it, take it.
940
00:36:44,461 --> 00:36:47,362
- So I start going
into survival mode.
941
00:36:47,364 --> 00:36:49,764
I strained the chili and
it creates this beautiful sauce.
942
00:36:49,766 --> 00:36:53,135
So I'm thinking,
"what if I crusted some tuna
943
00:36:53,137 --> 00:36:54,837
in chili spices."
944
00:36:54,839 --> 00:36:56,405
- It's ready...
945
00:36:56,407 --> 00:36:57,807
Those to wait.
946
00:36:57,809 --> 00:37:01,210
My plan is to use the gravy part
of the chili as a sauce
947
00:37:01,212 --> 00:37:04,714
and do a frito-crusted
shrimp salad.
948
00:37:04,716 --> 00:37:08,217
At this point I'm just
completely running on "e."
949
00:37:08,219 --> 00:37:09,652
Whew.
950
00:37:11,688 --> 00:37:13,355
- I wouldn't wanna be
in their shoes right now.
951
00:37:13,357 --> 00:37:14,790
- I keep thinking about
if it was me,
952
00:37:14,792 --> 00:37:15,991
what would I do?
953
00:37:15,993 --> 00:37:17,125
What the hell
would you make?
954
00:37:17,127 --> 00:37:18,160
I would be petrified.
955
00:37:18,162 --> 00:37:19,695
- This is
just so intense.
956
00:37:19,697 --> 00:37:20,729
I'm anxious, I'm nervous.
957
00:37:20,731 --> 00:37:22,698
I want Richie
to come out of this.
958
00:37:22,700 --> 00:37:23,732
He's my
best little buddy.
959
00:37:23,734 --> 00:37:24,933
Richie, he would
get you--like,
960
00:37:24,935 --> 00:37:26,201
"oh, I need
a kidney right now."
961
00:37:26,203 --> 00:37:27,969
He'd actually take it
out of his--
962
00:37:27,971 --> 00:37:29,237
- no.
- And hand it out to you.
963
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,605
He would,
he's strong enough to do that.
964
00:37:36,045 --> 00:37:38,147
- 30 seconds.
965
00:37:45,957 --> 00:37:48,257
- When I finish
the last plate I'm, like,
966
00:37:48,259 --> 00:37:50,760
"you're an idiot, you didn't
put enough sauce on the plate."
967
00:37:50,762 --> 00:37:53,363
The left side and the right side
of the brain were not speaking
968
00:37:53,365 --> 00:37:55,298
to each other.
969
00:37:55,300 --> 00:37:58,469
- I took the similar spices
that I used in the chili itself.
970
00:37:58,471 --> 00:38:00,738
Dusted it on top
of the tuna, seared it,
971
00:38:00,740 --> 00:38:04,376
and then I made a habanero
pineapple salsa on top.
972
00:38:04,378 --> 00:38:07,813
- You have a frito-crusted
black tiger shrimp
973
00:38:07,815 --> 00:38:10,716
with a salsa
of roasted corn
974
00:38:10,718 --> 00:38:13,318
and a reduction
of the mole sauce.
975
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:14,886
- I also used fritos.
976
00:38:14,888 --> 00:38:16,354
I encrusted
a pork tenderloin,
977
00:38:16,356 --> 00:38:17,956
there's
a Yukon gold potato hash,
978
00:38:17,958 --> 00:38:20,558
a ricotta cheese
and chili puree,
979
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,493
and some more of
the chili puree on the side.
980
00:38:22,495 --> 00:38:24,729
- Thank you all.
981
00:38:32,506 --> 00:38:36,209
- I was disappointed
in Richie's dish,
982
00:38:36,211 --> 00:38:37,444
it lacked seasoning.
983
00:38:37,446 --> 00:38:38,545
- It was very one-note,
984
00:38:38,547 --> 00:38:40,748
there was no brightness
in the dish at all.
985
00:38:40,750 --> 00:38:43,250
- I do think in 30 minutes
Richie did a lot.
986
00:38:43,252 --> 00:38:45,887
He got potatoes,
he got cheese,
987
00:38:45,889 --> 00:38:49,523
he got a breaded
piece of meat on there.
988
00:38:49,525 --> 00:38:51,392
- I think Nyesha did
a beautiful job on her shrimp,
989
00:38:51,394 --> 00:38:53,227
but the entire dish
needed sauce.
990
00:38:53,229 --> 00:38:54,495
- It was
somewhat disappointing.
991
00:38:54,497 --> 00:38:56,797
This little corn salad
that she put together.
992
00:38:56,799 --> 00:38:59,099
It's just shaved
raw corn off the kernel,
993
00:38:59,101 --> 00:39:00,767
that's it--
it's not dressed with anything.
994
00:39:00,769 --> 00:39:03,303
What is this?
995
00:39:03,305 --> 00:39:05,204
- It was almost
as if Nyesha and Richie
996
00:39:05,206 --> 00:39:08,775
were embarrassed about the mole,
whereas Beverly just
997
00:39:08,777 --> 00:39:11,211
made a very imaginative way
of using it,
998
00:39:11,213 --> 00:39:13,380
and she
showed off her skill.
999
00:39:13,382 --> 00:39:16,250
- It's a bit rich, but--
- but it's balanced.
1000
00:39:16,252 --> 00:39:17,652
- Yeah.
1001
00:39:17,654 --> 00:39:19,287
- And Beverly, you know,
she changed the flavor profile.
1002
00:39:19,289 --> 00:39:20,689
- Mm-hmm.
1003
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,700
- I'm worried about this dish.
1004
00:39:31,702 --> 00:39:34,704
I've come a long way to
spend time away from my family,
1005
00:39:34,706 --> 00:39:39,877
so this has to be--
I can't go home now.
1006
00:39:39,879 --> 00:39:43,647
- Going through all the trials
and tribulations to get here,
1007
00:39:43,649 --> 00:39:45,882
to fall short at this point
would really suck.
1008
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:48,919
I'm good.
1009
00:39:48,921 --> 00:39:50,086
- You cool?
- Yeah.
1010
00:39:50,088 --> 00:39:51,421
- I whisper in his ear,
just "emotions kill."
1011
00:39:51,423 --> 00:39:53,357
I want Richie
to come out of this
1012
00:39:53,359 --> 00:39:55,158
and get to the end
of this competition with me.
1013
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,761
To show that
we are the best.
1014
00:39:57,763 --> 00:39:59,195
- Are we all in agreement?
- I think so.
1015
00:39:59,197 --> 00:40:00,297
- Yeah.
1016
00:40:00,299 --> 00:40:03,567
- All right,
let's get them out here.
1017
00:40:13,311 --> 00:40:18,914
♪ ♪
1018
00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:20,216
- The challenge was to
repurpose your chili
1019
00:40:20,218 --> 00:40:22,785
and turn it
into a new dish.
1020
00:40:22,787 --> 00:40:26,955
Beverly, you managed to
fix all the flaws in that chili,
1021
00:40:26,957 --> 00:40:28,756
and also come up
with a new dish.
1022
00:40:28,758 --> 00:40:32,126
We all agree that
it was our favorite.
1023
00:40:32,128 --> 00:40:34,228
You are safe.
1024
00:40:34,230 --> 00:40:35,229
Nice work tonight.
1025
00:40:35,231 --> 00:40:36,964
Thank you.
1026
00:40:36,966 --> 00:40:40,034
- Nyesha, your dish
we thought was nice.
1027
00:40:40,036 --> 00:40:41,736
It just didn't
go far enough.
1028
00:40:41,738 --> 00:40:43,036
You didn't use the chili
and repurpose it,
1029
00:40:43,038 --> 00:40:44,438
you kind of put it on the plate
as an afterthought.
1030
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,408
You definitely could have
taken that a lot further.
1031
00:40:47,410 --> 00:40:50,111
Richie, imagination
wasn't your issue,
1032
00:40:50,113 --> 00:40:53,348
you had this great idea.
1033
00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:55,617
It just never came together.
1034
00:40:55,619 --> 00:40:57,452
The dish struck one note--
there was no acid,
1035
00:40:57,454 --> 00:41:00,256
there was no spice.
1036
00:41:00,258 --> 00:41:02,024
You guys cooked last night
all night long
1037
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:03,226
and had
a good time doing it,
1038
00:41:03,228 --> 00:41:04,861
and I think
Stark reality set in
1039
00:41:04,863 --> 00:41:08,399
that someone is
gonna go home tonight.
1040
00:41:11,871 --> 00:41:14,106
- Richie...
1041
00:41:14,108 --> 00:41:18,777
Please pack your knives
and go.
1042
00:41:18,779 --> 00:41:21,447
- And thank you
for this opportunity.
1043
00:41:25,152 --> 00:41:27,186
- Good luck to you.
- Thank you.
1044
00:41:27,188 --> 00:41:30,056
- Thanks.
1045
00:41:37,231 --> 00:41:40,233
It's me.
1046
00:41:45,706 --> 00:41:47,373
I love you, man.
1047
00:41:49,743 --> 00:41:51,044
- No, no, no, no.
- I'm sorry.
1048
00:41:51,046 --> 00:41:52,912
- Hey, hey,
it's all right.
1049
00:41:52,914 --> 00:41:54,614
Huh?
- All right.
1050
00:41:54,616 --> 00:41:56,582
- That.
- That.
1051
00:41:56,584 --> 00:41:58,518
- It's too soon.
1052
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,753
You can prep yourself cooking
all you want,
1053
00:42:00,755 --> 00:42:03,056
but you can't prep yourself
for the emotional strain.
1054
00:42:03,058 --> 00:42:05,892
It is absolutely
much harder than it looks.
1055
00:42:05,894 --> 00:42:08,094
- I love you.
1056
00:42:08,096 --> 00:42:10,397
- Richie is an amazing chef,
1057
00:42:10,399 --> 00:42:13,867
and I don't want him to
feel like this is a reflection
1058
00:42:13,869 --> 00:42:16,069
of the person he is.
1059
00:42:16,071 --> 00:42:17,805
- Uh, good luck, everybody.
1060
00:42:17,807 --> 00:42:21,274
- Bye, Richie.
- Bye, Richie.
1061
00:42:21,276 --> 00:42:25,545
- The words I have for Chris--
keep doing what we do.
1062
00:42:25,547 --> 00:42:27,981
Be the jedi you are
and make it to the finals
1063
00:42:27,983 --> 00:42:29,015
and win it all.
1064
00:42:33,855 --> 00:42:35,855
- Next on Top Chef.
1065
00:42:35,857 --> 00:42:38,157
- Goin' to Dallas!
1066
00:42:38,159 --> 00:42:40,060
- They closed the highway.
1067
00:42:40,062 --> 00:42:41,661
- I'm, like,
"oh, great."
1068
00:42:41,663 --> 00:42:42,896
- Proof of
liability insurance.
1069
00:42:42,898 --> 00:42:44,330
- Oh, that's
gonna be an issue.
1070
00:42:44,332 --> 00:42:46,165
- This is your kitchen.
- Wow.
1071
00:42:46,167 --> 00:42:48,836
John Besh is a handsome man.
I'm not gonna lie.
1072
00:42:49,309 --> 00:42:50,639
- I just pulled my back.!
1073
00:42:52,677 --> 00:42:53,777
Hi.
1074
00:42:53,866 --> 00:42:55,881
I can smell the smell of money.
1075
00:42:55,906 --> 00:42:57,598
You can pretend to smoke
if you like it.
1076
00:43:01,470 --> 00:43:03,860
Man come on, this is Top Chef
1077
00:43:05,578 --> 00:43:06,778
