"Next, Julie, Brandon." Gordon called out the names of two more contestants.

"Yes, Chef." The two agreed and stepped forward with their own food.

"Julie, what did you do?" Gordon asked on behalf of the judges.

"I make bread and bake pudding." Julie said to Gordon a little nervously—compared to other people who have more or less professional experience, all of Julie's cooking experience comes from her own kitchen and children, It is unprecedented pressure for her to accept the professional comments of three such senior chefs at once, "I cut the bread into cubes, baked it with the pudding, whipped the cream myself, and seasoned it with whiskey and cinnamon powder. , to enhance the flavor of the dish, the cream was drizzled over the bread pudding, and a small mint leaf was used as a garnish at the end."

Nervous enough, this single mother who has been cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for her children for more than ten years still talked about her culinary characteristics in an orderly manner, even if her articulation was slightly trembling.

"Don't be nervous, Julie." Gordon also saw Julie's nervousness, and said to her with a smile, "We can't be angry and eat you because your food is bad. Besides, your food is not bad, is it?" ?"

Gordon made a little joke, maybe it was for the consideration of the show, maybe it was Gordon's good personality, which made him understand the difficulty of single mothers, so facing these single mothers in the show, Gordon will always There is more tolerance.

"Of course." Despite feeling nervous, Julie is confident in her food - every time she makes this dish, her children rush down the stairs, yelling "I love you mama", It's as if they don't love her usually, they are only so happy when they eat delicious food, they are really a group of little idiots who have milk and are mothers.Thinking of her children, Julie felt that her heart was full of strength, and all the anxiety disappeared in the memory of the children's cute and mischievous smiles.

This time, it was Gordon who was the first to reach out with his spoon and scoop out a scoop of what looked like snowtop coffee—bread bake pudding was a sweet-looking tan that looked a bit like chocolate, and The hand-whipped cream on the top of the bread pudding is like the middle-aged snow on the top of the mountain. With two small mint leaves dotted on the cream, it makes people have a cuteness of young plants digging out of the soil and breaking through the snow to find vitality. and moved.

Gordon tasted the pudding, couldn't help but nodded, and passed the pudding to Suzanne and Thomas, letting them taste it in turn.

"What do you guys think of this bread pudding?" Gordon asked the two of them.

"It's not the kind of delicately presented food, and it's even a bit too loose for me." Thomas was the first to say.Indeed, it is impossible to say how beautifully the bread and baked pudding is piled up on the dinner plate and drizzled with white cream.After all, Julie didn't go to culinary school, and she only cooked in her own home kitchen, and she didn't know those gorgeous decorations and embellishments at all. "However, it tasted very good, and it made me feel like a wow."

"That's right." Suzanne also nodded, "It looks crispy and soft. The crispy bread pudding and soft and sweet cream really complement each other. By the way, your cream is very well seasoned, whiskey and cinnamon The powder combines beautifully with the cream.”

"Thank you." After being affirmed by the two judges, Julie couldn't help showing a smile on her face, and looked expectantly at Gordon who hadn't spoken at the end—Gordon is the host and permanent judge of Hell's Kitchen, and his Evaluation is the most important thing for players.This is not just a challenge competition, it's a great opportunity for the contestants to impress the chef!

"I think this bread pudding is very interesting." Gordon said to Julie with a smile. "When I saw this bread pudding with cream, my first thought was to put a spoon in it and stir Stir it, stir it."

"Me too!" Thomas couldn't help but say.

"Also, it tastes very good, and your seasoning is always excellent." Gordon said to Julie.

"Thank you, chef." Julie's eyes lit up when she heard what the chef said.

"Okay, how about scoring?" Gordon confirmed to the other two judges.

"Okay." The two judges took out their number plates together with Gordon.

"Oh!" Julie exclaimed excitedly when she saw the three-star and two-star ratings given by the judges.

"You did very well." Gordon affirmed Julie, "even better than some professional chefs."

"Thank you, chef, and the judges." Julie's face flushed with embarrassment, "This is the food I made for the children, and I'm glad you like it." Even though Thomas only gave two stars Points—Maybe Thomas thought the dish tasted good, but not to the extent that he was surprised or liked it very much, so he didn't give it three stars, but for Julie, eight stars was enough for her.Even other players won't complain if they get eight points.That's definitely a high score.

Hearing Julie's words, the judges showed faint smiles on their faces.

Family and children, these words are born with warmth and touching.

Thomas thought for a moment that if only he had given three stars, too, that this was Mom's food, not the chef's.Only a mother in the world can make this kind of delicious food that is both crunchy and soft. This is the same as my mother's mood - considering that children like to eat crispy food, I can't help pouring my own A soft heart.

"So, Brandon, what did you do?" After commenting on Julie's food, Gordon looked at the male contestant next to him.

"I made a stuffed loaf," Brandon told the judges, "and drizzled it with mixed berry sauce."

Gordon nodded, cut off a corner of the bread, dipped it in some berry jam, and put the food in his mouth, he couldn't help frowning.

This square stuffed bread looks good at first glance. The honey-colored crust is baked into a beautiful translucent honeycomb texture because of the dusting of powdered sugar. The dark red berry sauce spreads from the bread. On the plate, there was a beautiful arc.Moreover, because it was just taken out of the oven, the stuffed bread exudes the unique sweetness of fresh bread, mixed with the fresh and sour taste of jam, which immediately creates an appetite.However, once I really tasted this bread, I was a little disappointed. This bread...

Gordon pushed Brandon's food to Suzanne and Thomas, who each had a taste.

"The inside of the bread is undercooked and a bit raw." After Thomas also tasted it, Suzanne cut the bread from it and said bluntly, "Look, there is no fluffy air cavity in the baked bread, but a semi-firm dough shape."

"It didn't ferment well, and it didn't bake well after that," Thomas added, "but the crust was good, and the berry sauce was delicious."

"Then score." Gordon said to the two.

The three showed their scores together.

Two stars two stars two stars.

Although the judges pointed out Brandon's shortcomings, for what they had, the crust of the stuffed bread and the berry sauce were good, and Brandon could have scored higher if he hadn't made the stuffing .

Brandon also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this score - he thought that after being criticized, his score would be very low, like Renee or Xiao, but unexpectedly, he still got six points.This score is not high, but it is passable, and it can explain to the team without attracting too much criticism.Although he lost the blue team's two-point advantage...

"Well, the scores of the two teams are now even." Gordon looked at the total scores recorded by the staff next to him, and said to the two teams, "There are still three people in each team who have not served, let us continue to see which team can Rewrite the score and continue to lead."

"Whitney, Adam, did you all cook steaks?" Of course Gordon knew what the contestants did, and he also tried to let the contestants who cooked the same food compete directly, so that the results of the competition would be more intuitive. Bring over the dishes."

"Yes, Chef." The two looked at each other, and immediately brought the dishes to the judges - they both wanted to bring victory to the team, even if the victory was temporary, it was their contribution to the team!They want to be affirmed by the chef, recognized by their teammates, and let the players on the same team see clearly that they are the most powerful competitors!

However, the more the same type of dishes, the easier it is to expose the gap.

"It's overcooked." Gordon cut Whitney's steak, looked at the dark and dry beef cut, his expression became dry, and said to Whitney with a frown, "Look , the gravy is gone."

Even if you dislike this kind of steak, the so-called judges can only try it even if they see dark dishes-sometimes, the judges are also very poor, and they don't always eat amazing food that surprises people.So, Gordon could only bite the bullet, cut off a piece of beef, chewed, chewed, and finally ate the hard piece of beef, then sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"..." Whitney's face suddenly pulled down. She was very satisfied with her New Yorker steak, and she wanted to let her teammates and blue team players see her strength clearly, but she didn't expect...

"I don't like to eat steaks that are so cooked either." Thomas said after eating a piece and shaking his head.

"Your sauce is good. This kind of sweet and salty taste will definitely be very popular. I personally can accept a steak that is a little bit cooked, but you really didn't do it well." Suzanne's expression was somewhat relaxed, but she couldn't say she was satisfied.

"..." Whitney originally hoped that the other two judges would appreciate her steak, but she was obviously disappointed.Even, after not getting a glimmer of praise, Whitney didn't really want to hear the judges' marks.Thinking of the low score that might be heard later, Whitney's expression turned bad again...

In the end, she got one star, two stars and one star, and both Gordon and Thomas were not satisfied with the steak.

"Adam, what did you do?" Gordon didn't really like the unconvinced expression on Whitney's face, as if he was dissatisfied with the judges' marks, and because the other party was of black ethnicity, Gordon actually had a little dissatisfaction. The standards have been relaxed.The score has already been posted, and Gordon is not going to change it, but he still frowned slightly and looked at another player.

"I made filet mignon with croissant." Adam knew he had to restrain his temper to the judges, but his expression was a little too serious, and he looked a little angry, "I baked the croissant under me. , topped with filet, served with roasted cherry tomatoes and sautéed mushrooms, and served with a little scrambled egg, sprinkled with rosemary powder."

Suzanne was the first to taste Adam's filet mignon, and the expression on her face immediately eased.

Thomas and Gordon also tasted it one after another, and they both nodded.

"The steak was fried very well." Thomas admired Adam's steak, "but," Adam's heart rose immediately, "your croissant is not well done, the layering is a bit obvious, the butter is not completely melted, you didn't Bake it."

"That's right, Thomas is right," Suzanne followed suit. "Your steak was well done, and your eggs were scrambled well. I personally like how you seasoned your scrambled eggs, but the croissant was a real failure. You don't Should have done it, that wouldn't affect your score, but now, this croissant is overshadowing your dish."

"The steak is really good, well done." Gordon also nodded to Adam, "However, I don't think this dish fits the theme very well. The croissant and scrambled eggs are more of a French style, not an American classic." Cuisine."

"Yes, chef." Adam's expression changed constantly with the judges' comments. When he heard the judges praised his steak, he smiled happily, and when he heard the judges criticized his croissant, especially It was Gordon who thought he was off topic, so he couldn't help showing a slightly gloomy expression.

"Then, the score for Adam is..." Gordon dragged his voice, and the three judges raised their score cards together.

Two stars two stars three stars.

Thomas gave Adam a small full mark. As a carnivore, he really appreciates Adam's steak.

Gordon and Suzanne gave Adam two points, and his steak deserved it, but the whole dish still had some flaws.

7 points is not too low, the full score is only 9 points.

Adam could accept this result, and his clenched fist at his side quietly relaxed.

The two returned to the team one after another, and the red team dropped another three points.

This made Julie's previous efforts to equalize the score come to naught.

And the gap of three points is not too small, it is not so easy to pull back the points...

"Next, Leah, Renault." Gordon called out the contestants in the penultimate group.

"Yes, chef." Yili and Renault didn't look at each other, they just carried their food and walked towards the judges.

The faces of the red team players lit up when they saw it—even if some people had a bad relationship with Yili, it didn't stop them from wanting their team to win and wanting to go out and enjoy the leisure and vacation provided by the program group. Not being locked up in Hell's Kitchen doing repetitive labor to death!

As for "not so easy to pull back the score"?No, no, if it's Liya, it's definitely not too difficult to pull back three points all of a sudden and overtake again!What's more, the opponent was Lei Nuo - this player who was not very good in the blue team, not a player with extremely strong personal ability like Justin Josh!Leah will definitely win this round!

The players of the red team are full of confidence in Yili.

Compared to her optimistic teammates, Yili sighed quietly in her heart.

Now, there are 4 people on both sides who are not served, the red team is she and Meg, and the blue team is Josh and Reynolds.If you let Yili say that she would rather be the last match and shoulder the final pressure alone than let Meg be the finale - it's not that Yili looks down on Meg, but that Meg's past performance is really unconvincing. It also dropped a chain from time to time, which made Yili very worried.

What's more, after Yili faced Renault, Meg's opponent was the quiet but powerful Josh.In private, Yili believes that Josh's ability is better than Justin's. Even if the other party is usually quiet, he always does his work silently.

But Josh's silence and Justin's silence are two different things. The latter's silence is quiet by nature and not good at quarreling, while the former's silence is forbearance, observation of the situation, and waiting for the final attack!Even though Yili is not familiar with the blue team, when she occasionally chats with the male players in the living room, she faintly senses that the two seem similar but are completely different in character.

Can Meg's dishes really beat Josh?No, don't win, just don't get widened by too many points.Eli doesn't expect Meg to beat Josh, she only hopes that Meg can try her best to narrow the gap with Josh.

And this gap, she will make up for it in advance!

Seeing Yili's serious expression, the male contestants patted Hei Tall on the back one after another.

"It's okay, don't be nervous."

"It's normal to lose, just don't be pulled too far apart."

"That's right, we don't blame you, don't have psychological pressure."

The male players comforted their teammates very considerately, with very sincere expressions.

After all, Renault's opponent this time is Leah!

That terrible big killer!No matter how beautiful she is, she can't hide the fact that she is terrifying!

No one wants to fight her, no one!

Even a strong or confident male player like Justin Josh Sean is not willing to compete with Leah head-on.It is good to win, and it can also damage the morale of the red team, but if you lose to the opponent, your prestige in the team will definitely decrease. This is an indisputable fact-even if they all understand that if you lose, it is not because you are too weak Rather than the opponent is too strong.

Now, Reno has met Leah, which means that the rest of them will never meet the player who caused them the most headaches.Even the male contestants who have already competed can't help but feel their scalp tingle when they think of Liya.The male contestants couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief at the thought of Renault facing Liya instead of them, and felt more tolerant and sympathetic towards Hei Gaogao's expression this time.

"..." Renault looked at his teammates speechlessly.

Even if Leah is indeed incredibly strong, why not be so unambitious!

What's more, even if they have no ambition, don't take him with them!

He played with the heart of winning and making another victory for the blue team, but being "relieved" by his teammates so intimately, Renault almost vomited blood in depression.

At this time, in the eyes of the red team, Yili is the heroine who is about to triumph and bring them victory.

In the eyes of the blue team, Raynor is a brave and fearless warrior who is about to die.

See you all.

"Leah, what are you doing?" Gordon asked Yili first.

"I made a classic American hamburger." Yili opened the insulation cover and handed the hamburger in the best edible condition to the judges' table. "I made patties with bacon and top beef steak. Served with lettuce and red cabbage salad tomatoes, and homemade smoky BBQ sauce, make these little burgers."

Gordon looked at the three tall and fat little burgers that were almost exactly the same on the dinner plate, and nodded slightly - standardization is a very important requirement for high-end restaurants, and the same dishes should be exactly the same in terms of appearance and taste. Leah certainly did this.Her little hamburgers are in very good condition, neither slumped nor skewed, they are neatly shaped by bamboo sticks and neatly arranged in a row on the long dinner plate.Although there are no special patterns on the dinner plate, it looks very neat, without messy food crumbs and spilled sauces, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Gordon followed the bamboo stick inserted in the burger, and cut the leftmost small burger from top to bottom, showing the complete side section under the camera——

On the top is the fluffy bread dough sprinkled with white sesame seeds. Numerous fine pores can be seen on the light yellow side section, which makes people immediately imagine the soft texture; below the bread dough is the most important patty of burgers, perhaps Because of being squeezed by the knife when cutting, a layer of delicious gravy oozes from the surface of the meatloaf, which is lightly adorned on the edge of the meatloaf, so that it will not slide down, but it is clearly visible.The camera gives a big close-up of the thin gravy.

The tender yellow cheese on the patty melts slightly, giving it a semi-runny texture. On top of the cheese is a special smoky barbecue sauce. The slightly pungent and slightly sweet aroma blends with the sweetness of the cheese and the tempting meaty aroma of the patty. Coupled with the special wheat fragrance of fresh bread, people can't help but move their index fingers.

Under the meatloaf, there are dark red tomatoes, light green lettuce and deep purple purple cabbage. The whole cut surface is bright in color and distinct in layers, showing a visual beauty and rich aroma at the same time.

- want to eat!

——For the first time, I want to eat a small hamburger so much!

— This is mine my mine!Gordon is not allowed to eat!

The audience in front of the TV began to drool silently for the food again. Of course, at the same time, they shed tears because they could not eat.

- If Leah wins, will the little burger be sold in her restaurant?

Some viewers have already opened their minds and imagined the future.

——It should be, or some investors are interested in Liya's cooking skills and fund her to open a restaurant or something, maybe they can also eat such a small burger!Wait, in that case, not only small burgers, but also the steak and scallop Wellington that Leah made!These will definitely be her signature dishes!

——No, no, this issue of Hell's Kitchen has just begun, and there will definitely be more delicious food in the future!Don't put everything on the menu carelessly, I will definitely save money to eat!

——At that time, there can also be a Hell's Kitchen special day!Cooked everything Leah made in Hell's Kitchen, plus the scallops at dinner service and Wellington Risotto Angelica Pork Chops with Lamb Chops, craving it all!

The far-sighted audience wished that even the menu had been prepared for Yili...

The perspective shifts back to Hell's Kitchen.

Gordon glanced at the side of the little hamburger, and he knew that it was done just right—overcooked and overcooked, for a top chef like him, he could tell at a glance. There was no doubt that Leah had a good grasp of this aspect. very well.

As long as she doesn't miss the seasoning, this little burger is definitely a success!

This is a small burger with a two-star rating.

Gordon was admiring in his heart, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He calmly cut off a corner of the hamburger, put it in his mouth, tasted it, then nodded slightly, and passed the dinner plate to Suzanne's hand.

After all, the judges are just for tasting, not for filling their stomachs, so it is impossible to directly smash the bamboo sticks and flatten the small burgers like some guests did—this is indeed a simple and rude common way of eating After all, the fillings of the small burgers are also very rich. It is still difficult to stutter without pressing down; you can't eat them slowly from top to bottom. This way of eating seems much more refined, but this It loses the delicious and mixed taste unique to hamburgers, and it is impossible for the judges to eat all the small hamburgers layer by layer. All they have to do is taste.

So they all chose the most ornamental way of eating, using a knife and fork to assist in eating, which also looks beautiful under the camera, and at the same time can eat several layers of content at the same time, and can comprehensively taste the taste of small burgers.

"How is it?" Gordon asked after both of them had tasted their small burgers.

"It's very delicious." Suzanne nodded to Yili, "Without a doubt, this is one of the best little burgers I've ever eaten, impeccable, it can be put on my restaurant's menu immediately, it's very classic, It’s also very refined, and guests will love it.”

"Thank you." Yili thanked Suzanne with a smile.

"I like the meatloaf here very much." Thomas also said, he used two very in a row, "You should use bacon to enrich the taste, the bacon is very crispy, the beef is very smooth and tender, the combination of the two is very wonderful " Thomas paused, then moved the knife and fork again, "No, I want to take another bite. If I only take one bite of such a small burger, I won't forgive myself!"

As he spoke, Thomas cut another large piece from the patty and put it in his mouth, with a happy expression on his face.

——He even ate two mouthfuls!

— We didn't have a bite to eat!

- I just need to take a bite...

The audience looked at the fat judges who squinted their eyes and felt extremely wronged.

"Did you make all the sauces for your bread by yourself?" Gordon had already guessed the answer - he knew the ready-made sauces in the kitchen, and of course he knew that Yili was not lazy at all, but diligent Completed all the work.

"Yes." Yili nodded, without hesitation to earn her own impression points, "I made the dough, the hamburger embryos, and the sauces too, from ketchup to basic barbecue sauce, all of them are made by me. Made it from scratch."

"Very good." Gordon nodded appreciatively, "A meticulous and rigorous attitude is very important for a chef."

"Thank you." Yili smiled at the chef.

"So, score?" Gordon said to the two judges.

"Of course." The two judges replied, and the three score cards were erected together.

"Wow." Gordon raised his eyebrows, and let out an exclamation—probably for the effect of the show, Yili also opened her eyes wide, and covered her mouth with her hands—

Samsung Samsung Samsung!

"Tonight's first full-score work, isn't it?" Gordon said to the two judges with a smile.

"She deserves the score." Suzanne shrugged and said briskly.

In addition to the excellent taste, this contestant also specially made three small burgers, so that each judge can cut open and taste individually instead of sharing with each other.Of course, for many dishes, such as steak, it was impossible for the contestants to fry three servings on purpose, and she could only do this because the fillings of the small burgers could be shared.But whatever the reason, it's a pretty pleasing approach.

Thomas also nodded beside him, hesitating in his heart, should he cut another small patty to eat?After passing this village, there will be no such shop. Even if he has better cooking skills, what he cooks is different from what others cook, especially when he has just been aroused by greed...

"Well done, Leah." Gordon nodded to Eli, oblivious to Thomas' entanglement.

"Thank you." Yili thanked the judges again - she could hear the whispers of the contestants behind her.Her teammates cheered quietly, which is undoubtedly the biggest advantage Yili can bring to them, and their red team finally completed the counterattack; while the opponents of the blue team cursed softly, Yili could hear the little "Damn" and "[beep]!" to vent their anger.

But so what?Who cares if the opponent is happy?

She just needs to win.

Yili smiled at the judges.

Gordon also smiled back at her, then looked at the male contestant next to Yili, "Leno, what did you do?"

"I made tortillas with baked crisps, and some fried beans." Renault said without confidence—of course, the first perfect score work of this challenge is on the side, maybe it will be the last one, Lei Nuo really didn't have the confidence to say that he did better than Leah!At best, he could only score the same 9 as Leah, and he didn't really have much confidence in this.

At this time, Renault finally realized why his teammates were so tolerant towards him!If possible, he would like to find someone to change the order of the game now!The pressure to compete on the same stage with dishes with 9 points is really too much!

Most importantly, Renault also realized how strong Leia is!

In the first challenge, she got the only one of two perfect marks!

In the second challenge, she completed half of the finished scallops by herself!

This is the third challenge, and she got the only perfect score so far!

Looking at the elegant girl beside him with a smile and a slight nod to him, and thinking of the unimaginable strength of the other party under the appearance of modesty, Lei Nuo felt terrified.

It is obvious that the height of the other party is less than his own shoulders, and his figure is also much thinner than his own. He can even see the top of her head completely, but Lei Nuo has a bitter and suffocating feeling, as if he is the weaker one. One—this skinny girl is like a dire wolf, while her taller and stronger self is like a helpless rabbit, completely trapped in the other's shadow, with nowhere to escape.
