Episode Report Card Daniel: B- | 3 USERS: B- YOU GRADE IT 20 Chefs Compete
By Daniel | Season 11 | Episode 1/2 | Aired on 03.12.2013
The men try again to get the first ticket of appetizers out, which they do, and I guess one successful order means they're "on a roll." Zach's beautiful scallops (again) are wasted because Sebastian fucks up again, and then angers Ramsay by calling Zach "Zachy-Wacky." He gets tossed, and then he makes it so much worse by electing to just head back in and gets thrown out again.
Meanwhile, Christian has decided that he's just going to serve mussels to anyone who is still waiting for their food, whether they ordered mussels of not. Welcome to the most free-musselly season of Hell's Kitchen EVER!
Danielle is struggling to remember the tickets that are being called out, and Susan amusingly wonders if she's the head chef of a hotdog stand.
In Blue, the loss of Sebastian seems to improve things for the men, who move on to entrees, but Michael's lamb is not nearly as impressive -- or even edible -- as he thinks it is. At least he can slice them; Jessica takes fully three and a half minutes to cut hers (you'll never believe this, but Nedra calls her a bitch). However, when she gets them up the pass, they're cooked perfectly. "Girl can cook some meat," says Cyndi. Respec'!
In Blue, Barret has refired his Wellington but Michael's not done with the lamb yet. Eventually Barret decides "fuck this" and brings the Wellingtons up, forcing Michael to hustle up the lamb, which doesn't have enough meat on the bone. Oh, and the Wellingtons are overdone, too, so don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, Barret. Sebastian picks probably the worst time possible to stick his face back in and ask to come back, and Ramsay throws the three of them out of the kitchen, warning Sebastian that if he comes back again, he'll be leaving by the front door.
An hour into service, and the men haven't sent a single entrée out to the dining room. In Red, Danielle is struggling to get the garnish (kale) out to the pass. Susan complains that she's spending more time babysitting Danielle than she is worrying about her own garnish. Oh, so that's why her garnish sucks enough to prompt Ramsay to throw her out. Danielle lasts just long enough to be confused over how much kale she needs for the redo, and Ramsay tosses her bewildered tearful ass out, too.
In Blue, Jeremy is making kale, at least whatever kale he's not dropping on to the open flame of the burner, and stammering his way through a misunderstanding of what the order is. He gets thrown out.
