You Wanna See Crazy?!

S04E10

Chef Ramsay takes a moment to berate Corey for not having garnishes ready and does not accept "Matt won't talk to me" as an excuse. She interviews that everyone's in it for themselves and won't step in to help anyone else. Matt mutters to Christina that they have to work together, and she agrees. The thing we see is Christina cooking chicken and beef in one pan. Can you do that? I mean, in a real restaurant? I know it's theoretically possible, but Chef Ramsay does not like it. Christina apparently figured it would save on burner space, but she knows it was a bad idea. And as soon as Chef Ramsay is done with her, he sees that Bobby has salmon and scallops in one pan. Bobby also has no excuse, especially since he's allergic to shellfish.

An hour in, only half the entrees have been served (which would have been a pretty good track record around episode three or four), and some are coming back. The rib-eye is coming back raw. Jen is not happy about her special dish being done wrong, and there is some dispute about how long the meat is supposed to be cooked for. Jen may or may not have told Christina it was four minutes. It's about as exciting as it sounds, so it's a nice change when Corey's pan goes up in a huge blaze, delaying the garnish and giving her a burn. Chef Ramsay orders her to go to the medics, but she refuses, wiping away a defiant tear. Jen describes her as "koo-koo in the head" for talking back to Chef Ramsay.

After the commercials, Corey allows herself to be ordered off to the medics. The medics, incidentally, have black "Hell's Kitchen Medic" T-shirts. I guess they figured if they were going to get all this screen time, they might as well look good.

Out in the dining room, customers are complaining about not having food. Jean-Philippe's plan is to send out more water. I'm not sure that'll do it. Chef Ramsay spots Matt popping something into his mouth, but Matt claims he's not eating; he's just tasting. It does look like he's "tasting" pretty large chunks of meat there.

Corey comes out with a rubber glove on and looks like she's just rounding up pans now instead of cooking. Ouch. Christina gets an order wrong (two rib-eye instead of two John Dory) and gets shouted at from about an inch away from her face. She interviews that her game plan was to keep from crying. He tells her to get lost and asks Matt what's cooking. Matt does not know. Man, at least Christina knew what was cooking, even if it wasn't exactly what had been ordered. Bobby smugly interviews, "I don't know what's up with the rest of those chefs. I hear every word he yells out." And yet, it turns out that Bobby has only one John Dory going, even though Chef Ramsay just spent quite some time shouting at Christina that there should be two. Apparently Bobby is just reflexively saying "Yes, chef." He ends up having the fish ready, but mostly by coincidence.
