Miranda please bring up your dish everything  on that plate I've never worked with before so   I think this dish has balls just like me then  albacore tuna encrusted with black sesame and   toasted almond so an asian-inspired version  of tuna casserole yes yeah wonderful rich   full flavor a touch of heat fresh flavors  in that ginger the background of the garlic   it's lovely I think it could have done with a  few more of the peas snaps to add just a touch   more crunch to it are you happy with the way the  tuna turned out yeah I think I got a good sear it's good I find it just a little dry on the  outside please head on back to your station   Alicia please bring up your dish [Music] so  seared tuna and yoky with coffee garlic I can   actually see every element of the classic  tuna casserole dish but you transformed it   into something that is so relevant looking I  mean it looks like a modern version [Music] what's the crust on the tuna I just sold some  of the coffee garlic oil on top it's fantastic   this is an incredible dish maybe this is  the turning point for you in this kitchen at this point I'm thinking that  this could be a winning dish [Music] so I have a seared albacore tuna habanero cream   sauce and a handmade pasta it's  beautiful is visually stunning it's nice cook on tuna you kept  it rare you have a nice sear on   it pasta the consistency the  thickness very nice [Music] Wow it's too hot can get over  that heat that is mistake [Music] Wow it's too hot can't get  over that heat that is mistake you know from the outside you seem  like a very almost arrogant but I   think on the inside you're  terrified I really feel that [Music] Wow damn that is hot Wow did you  scotch bonnets I was under the assumption   as a habanero so you don't know you use  an app an arrow is also known as a scotch   bonnet which happens to be one of the  hottest peppers on planet earth and all   I think about now is that pepper I don't  really think about the tuna dish [Music] Aaron bring up your dish it's our tunas packet with celery root tortelloni  with mint and pea veloute it's very sophisticated   it's intelligent what is inside your tortelloni  it's a celery root puree I tried to keep it simple   I wanted to mimic the idea of the cream of celery  soup you sound like a probe far from the chef you've just created the best dish  I've had in four seasons it's amazing it's extraordinary praise chef there's nothing  wrong with it it's amazing that sauce it just pops   with flavor your tortelloni are perfect perfectly  cooked you can tell they're handmade what a shame   it would be if you don't quit the job that you  have now become a shot it'd be a real shame   [Music] may please bring your dish up to the  front I'm feeling a bit nervous everybody went   a total different direction that I did so it is  asian-inspired casserole flavored of bonito and   fried tuna and spinach and then major aid keys it  is an interesting little presentation it's almost   as if there are two worlds here at the classic  homey inspired - in a casserole and then the   modern interpretation of the tuna portion  of it and then the green sauce is your pee   spinach this gives that a try and interesting  combination [Music] we're rich and savory   [Music] again a nice savory background has that   little creaminess from the cream sauce  it's a nice nod to the tuna casserole Jordan please bring up your dish I want to do  this because I want to show the judges that I   can create elevated food I don't want to  just take something and make a casserole   in a really boring lame way this is a tuna  tataki with a japanese-inspired veloute with   a toasted cashew sand and taro swirls with  a pea and lemon puree into the palm here   Jordan you were asked to elevate the tuna  casserole I mean this is to me more of a   simplification and I eat this very way  you know why before it always operates [Music] join you have a lot of passion I see that  somewhere in this play but you dropped quite a   few things drop the noodles you've got the cheese  that's the problems there are some beautiful   tasting elements in there but you asked to elevate  a tuna casserole not just tuna that may cost you [Music] we saw a lot of innovation in this last  challenge but unfortunately at least one of you   will be leaving the MasterChef Canada kitchen  tonight so if you please excuse us we need a chat Wow there was some incredible dishes but also  a couple very weak ones we had the full gamut   there was overreaching it was complexity there  was some disastrous elements on plates were   things that shouldn't been being there I gave  the judges a dish that ultimately they didn't   like so I'm feeling pretty down on myself  I know that this isn't my best dish but   there are some redeeming qualities that the  judges did point out it's a shame but for one   of these home cooks their journey is going  to end let's go tell them let's go [Music] well you really managed to elevate a  very humble dish and that forced us to   get very picky in our assessments  the best dish of the night was Aaron's just give me away I've had fire in my eyes  since I got here I'm winning this competition and   the second best dish of the night was made by a  home cook who's not flying under the radar anymore   congratulations Alicia I'm so relieved that I  finally show the judges that I have what it takes   to be here there was a Sir Tom cook whose dish  impressed us me well done all three of you will   be captains in the next team challenge it feels  so good to be one of the top three dishes of the   night unfortunately some of you did not achieve  the success that you were looking for tonight   with the home cooks who were disappointed in what  they served us tonight please come up to the front I am not disappointed with my dish I am  happy with it I'm staying put [Music] honestly I think it's pretty clear  that I have the worst critique they didn't like my dish I owe it to  myself and to the judges to walk up there [Music] trevor in jordan we really appreciate your  honesty trevor you hold yourself to a very   high standard yes chef and tonight you  didn't reach it while your dish was too   hot it had many redeeming features you're  safe go back to your station Thank You chef Jordan we know that you were deeply disappointed  with your dish and sadly so will we and there's   absolutely no doubt in our minds that you have  more to offer please leave here with your head   held high we can't wait to see where you  go from here now come on up and say your   goodbyes I am so proud of myself I am so happy  that I have competed in this competition don't   you ever stop cooking it's in your heart this  competition has reaffirmed that I want to pursue   a career in food and that is the only path  I'm gonna take in life at 22 years old I am   one of the top ten home cooks in this country  that in itself is an accomplishment [Music] you
