after an emotional night the Final Three Chefs gather before an uncharacteristically cheerful Chef Ramsay good morning [Music] guys yes throughout my whole career I've worked with some phenomenal chefs and right now I'd like all three of you to meet someone that is in my mind the best I was trying to think of what Chef he's worked with or you know what chefs he's worked under and quite frankly without this person I wouldn't be here today my number one mentor meet my mum good to see you Mum good to see you good morning good morning that is Bonnie Jan and Rock y's mom so cute Rock no cursing please not at all never ever in front of your mum right have you brought me caroni and cheese my favorite I grew up with this dish in today's restaurant world people want to feel at ease when they can identify something from their childhood comfort food but in a fine dining restaurant you have to take that comfort food and make it into something quite unique now this is my macaroni and cheese so with roasted Lobster finished with shavings of black truffle and aged Parmesan cheese so for today's challenge you'll be taking one of America's classics and then evolving it into something fine dining I was stoked about this challenge because my restaurant is a southern Creole Cajun and so I try to take you know classic southern dishes and make them more contemporary homemade to Gourmet Scott and Marianne please now in front of you've got five dishes to choose from I want you to pick a dome each look at what you've got in terms of American classic and evolve that addition to something exciting who's going first okay Bonnie pick a dome uh tell me what your American classic is [Music] pranks and bees what an American classic that's a British classic that's not a British classic hot dogs and beans what's more American than a hot dog beans and franks it just threw me I was like how can I make this Gourmet get over it Bonnie who's next okay think carefully Fried Chicken Chicken I can do something okay rock pick a dome okay spaghetti meatballs you've got one hour are you ready yeah sure go for this challenge the aspiring chefs can use anything from the well-stocked Pantry to create their Innovative version of a classic American dish is it just beans and franks cut up in it you never had a hot dog with with beans Bonnie started doing her Bonnie thing like what is that how am I supposed to do this is it just beans what is that Franks and [ __ ] beans I eat hot dogs but I remember eating hot dogs with beans like unless it was like a chili dog is that weird it was under 40 minutes ago yes yes you do not want to lose this challenge they had given us the most amazing ingredients so that definitely got my mind going in my mind I start with the main like okay chicken I want to do like a roulade I wanted it to be stuff I just didn't want it to be plain just under 20 minutes yes yes sure I was trying to do three different dishes I just I wanted to have depth and range so I really had my work cut out for me [Music] one minute to go that's me 30 seconds let's go Jen 10 seconds come on guys [Music] come on Rob [Music] bring him over please thank you honey yeah Chef show me what did you make I did an Italian version of beans and franks mini bruschettas I served it with a mushroom cream leek sauce excellent thank you rock yes what did you do I did what I call a study of spaghetti three different spaghettis a cream sauce reveal and this is a spicy chorizo and pork good well done thank you me away I did a fried chicken roulade stuffed with crab meat spinach and goat cheese that's definitely a new version of fried chicken okay back in line please well done now it's time I've got some special judges to help me taste your mums are here welcome Carol Joyce and Carol welcome to Hell's Kitchen I thought maybe it was some chefs from another restaurant not my just couldn't believe that she was here how are you my darling I was really happy and I was really looking forward to the judging being over and being able to go talk to my mother Maurice are you here please certainly thank you good to see you we haven't seen or been able to talk to our parents in weeks and to see my mom that was a reward enough for me these lovely ladies are all helping me today to select a winner during the tasting the aspiring chefs must remain silent and give no clue as to which dish is theirs there we are the tasting begins with Rock's Trio of gourmet spaghetti started with my spaghetti my mother nodded her head she liked it that was reassuring something else happy I think next the moms try Jen's fried chicken roulade I was like I was like Chad what do you think of that yes very good nice good final dish up last Bonnie's contemporary spin on Franks and Beans it was really fun to watch the moms eat our food you know I know that my mom doesn't really like gourmet food delicious it's my mom I don't want to give it up it's now time to pick a winner joy out of those three dishes yes which one is your favorite while Chef Ramsay confers with the mothers the aspiring chefs strain for any clue as to how they're voting the mother's backs were to us so we couldn't really hear who they voted for you know your own age I was on edge so we have an outright winner with all three votes from three serious critics most favorite dish congratulations Jen well done I can't believe that they all pick my dish that means that me being here is not a joke and I do have some Talent you know I just need to really feed it and nurture it I'm so pleased I can't get blamed for this one I'm gonna give Tommy and Carrie a chance to prove to their team that they have great leadership qualities there always is a Twist this is Hell's Kitchen this isn't predictable kitchen this team is gonna take five stunning American Comfort Classics and evolve them into something truly special Tommy and Carrie you will decide what everyone on your team is cooking they will come to you for leadership Direction start up yes 45 minutes starts from now let's go for today's challenge Chef Ramsay is not only testing the chef's creativity as they try to evolve five American Comfort classics all right ladies but he's also giving Tommy and Carrie an opportunity to prove that they can lead I think you should go with the hamburger okay chicken noodle soup and then how about a Cobb salad baby can you knock it out okay I ordered the pizza I want you just spaghetti meatballs okay I don't feel you got it I think I wanted to do pizza I want to be the one to cook the pizza but as usual Carrie doesn't listen to anyone's suggestions she wants to do the pizza herself but I know that she's gonna [ __ ] it up while Elise predictably has a problem with Carrie's game plan the blue kitchen is still waiting for one Tommy what do you want to do what is it called again and dive well Tommy the engine's running but there's no one behind the wheel I'm doing the cobb salad okay what are you gonna do okay I think I'm gonna do the burger what kind of meat do you want we have ground strip do you want to do the pizza I would love to do the pizza but I would like to do a barbecue pork pizza with a little Southern depends we have time I mean I want to do I want to do like a caprina pizza I want to do like a like a toasted pistachio like a truffle oil and honey Tommy has got the worst idea so how exactly is this going to work all right what are you want to use on the pizza as far as ingredients what do you want to use for the toppings let me just get this grill hot I already told John the four ingredients for the flatbread pizza but I don't think he's ever made one before I think he just didn't want to admit it I'm baffled man I need to know what's going on I'm standing there trying to talk to him time's getting low and he's he's basically [ __ ] ignoring me Tommy what's going on while Jonathan struggles to keep Tommy's attention how's everybody feeling are we doing good the red team wouldn't mind a little less attention from Carrie I like a lightly breaded chicken breaded chicken yeah I think that would be yummy all right Elise how we thinking on the pasta what are you thinking I'm thinking that I'd rather have done Pizza are you making some meatballs right now yeah I'm gonna make meatballs Carrie's not helping the cause she's the wrong person to try to lead someone because she can't lead herself Elise do you have your pasta dropped my pasta is dropped do you have your pizza in oh crap hola I should have eat the pizza like I said but no one wants to listen while Carrie hurries to get her pizza ready over in the blue kitchen Jonathan come on Tommy we got a little bit of thick cheese over here it's going to take time to melt all right is waiting on Tommy's Direction five minutes let's go that's gotta go in now because like now now I'm waiting on you man you got that cheese on there I ground up to mozzarella man Jesus bro well you didn't talk to me man it's so easy to make a flatbread pizza it's just when somebody just doesn't want to do what we're doing that makes it difficult slice this and put it on right afterwards hurry the [ __ ] up come on ladies let's start plating 30 seconds to go I'm going in the [ __ ] oven freaking out about my Pizza 10 seconds to go [ __ ] kidding me come on Pastor please please son of a [ __ ] [ __ ] my pasta two one and served foreign okay I have invited to judge this challenge ladies and gentlemen [Music] Wolf Gang Puck oh my God oh my God hello like big stars came in my eyes I couldn't believe we had Wolfgang Puck good morning I'm like speechless right now good to see you how are you I'm excellent I'm hungry oh my God red team blue team let's start off with the battle of the burgers let's go please first up is Jamie versus Tommy Jamie please present your dish to Chef please Chef I have lamb burger sliders with a red onion accomplisher and a rosemary garlic oil okay to me a little overdone but you know it has good flavor I think the pickled onions are sweet and sour in it it's not bad that's probably one of the best compliments I've ever gotten brilliant Tommy tried to put a uh like a Japanese spin on a American classic the meat is cooked on a soy caramel with a little candy ginger you know show me your hand look how colorful that looks that's how I like my Burgers to look too okay yeah so next time a little color in here should we taste it go for it you know it doesn't have the wow so Chef if you had to choose which one would it be you know what I would choose the red team excellent well done thank you great great start ladies good job Jamie man okay let's go next up Elizabeth nothing top sellers please um Elizabeth first I mean it's like a traditional Cobb salad I did Honey Dijon dressing it's a good tasting salad but you have to look what you have in here you know presented it with some finesse we want a little bit more invention for my classic what I have is kind of a remix on a Cobb salad I decided to use salmon salmon stays please I wouldn't call it the cobb salad it's not really what we have in our mind as a Cobb salad but I mean I would give it a different name and I could serve it properly in one of our restaurants thank you okay who would you like I think [Music] thank you chef she didn't make a Cobb salad so I was a little confused that they gave the point to somebody who did a salmon entree yeah with the score tied at one will and Elise at least present your spelling people are each looking to impress with their unique take on this classic dish I would say it looks like a mess okay did you drop it and picked it up okay well please oh no it's lacking sauce no point I don't know I wasn't impressed with it both of them both will and elise's dishes have disappointed scoring no points for either team with the scores still tied at one it's Jennifer's southwestern chicken noodle soup I think it's a good soup thank you versus Paul's Italian style chicken noodle soup it looks good but I think the flavor Falls flat my heart hit the [ __ ] floor I was like no red team of blue team red team well thank you Chef thank you Jennifer good job ladies I cooked for Wolfgang [ __ ] we didn't throw a bit of trash barrel he actually liked it okay the last dish it's the battle of the pizzas let's go eat them I'm excited let's hope they're good I don't even want to take that pizza up please present your dish okay let's go I'm not taking it up and take it up come on man just pick it up bro come on guys I'm not taking it up pick it up bro for God's sake come on it looks like [ __ ] man see your idea right uh Carrie please present your pizza to Chef thank you I did a shrimp basil pesto with a blistered heirloom tomatoes [Music] did you
