Top Chef
"♪♪♪"
Top Chef
"Ashleigh, Jae and Damarr."
Top Chef
"The three of you had our least favorite dishes,"
Top Chef
"and one of you will be going home."
Top Chef
"♪♪♪"
Top Chef
"Let's start with you, Ashleigh."
Top Chef
"Your seafood dish, I loved the presentation of it,"
Top Chef
"but the dish itself felt ate really bland."
Top Chef
"I kind of held back and wanted to make it, like,"
Top Chef
"healthy, so I poached the tuna in coconut water."
Top Chef
"I felt like it was a good compliment."
Top Chef
"If you had poached it in olive oil-- if you think"
Top Chef
"about all tinned fish, there's a good amount"
Top Chef
"of fat in there and that's what keeps it moist."
Top Chef
"It was also still a bit pink in the middle"
Top Chef
"and you really want it cooked all the way through."
Top Chef
"Jae, were you happy with your dish?"
Top Chef
"Mm, I wasn't really 100% happy, to be honest."
Top Chef
"The big problem I had with the dish was the texture"
Top Chef
"of the beef was just mush. And the parsnip puree,"
Top Chef
"it was gritty and soggy at the same time."
Top Chef
"Your beef was sliced so thin to the point"
Top Chef
"where it just vaporized on the plate."
Top Chef
"And then you cooked the barley so firm,"
Top Chef
"that softness that we want didn't happen."
Top Chef
"I tasted several times."
Top Chef
"It really wasn't undercooked for me."
Top Chef
"Okay."
Top Chef
"Damarr, talk to us about your dish."
Top Chef
"Were you happy with the way it came out today?"
Top Chef
"Uh, no. I overcooked the first batch of rice"
Top Chef
"and then I was rushing to cook more rice."
Top Chef
"-It just didn't go well. -You are right."
Top Chef
"Your rice was overcooked."
Top Chef
"I loved the pickle, actually. I thought it gave great texture."
Top Chef
"But it just felt a little, like, ho hum."
Top Chef
"I just think at this stage, we all know you could do better."
Top Chef
"The rice wasn't elegant or fun."
Top Chef
"It was just like, "Okay, I'm putting rice on"
Top Chef
""and I'm putting a stew on.""
Top Chef
"Listen, this is a tough part of the competition right now."
Top Chef
"This is when you gotta dig deep. I'm talking to everybody,"
Top Chef
"not just you, Damarr, I'm talking to everybody right now."
Top Chef
"I made a huge mistake, but I'm not really the guy"
Top Chef
"that makes the same mistakes over and over again."
Top Chef
"We have a lot to discuss. We'll Call you back in a bit."
Top Chef
"-Thank you. -Hey, keep your heads up."
Top Chef
"Keep your heads up. Come on."
Top Chef
"Hi. [giggling]"
Top Chef
"ASHLEIGH: God, that was very rough."
Top Chef
"NICK: Hey, Jae."
Top Chef
"JAE: Why everyone is coming to me?"
Top Chef
"[all talking over each other]"
Top Chef
"Listen, Jae, as the MVP of the bottom,"
Top Chef
"that's what people do."
Top Chef
"They immediately embrace you,"
Top Chef
"tell you they're sorry,"
Top Chef
"it's going to be okay."
Top Chef
"Listen, I'm a pro at this."
Top Chef
"Well, all three of these chefs had problems today."
Top Chef
"This was a challenge to literally shoot for the stars."
Top Chef
"Ashleigh did at least try to give us something"
Top Chef
"interesting, creative, playful, and that she really thought"
Top Chef
"the astronauts would love in space."
Top Chef
"It was cute. It was a cute dish but she made some mistakes."
Top Chef
"We all agreed the tuna wasn't seasoned and that's it."
Top Chef
"I kind of do think it's me."
Top Chef
"With Damarr... [sighing]"
Top Chef
"it was just a poor cooked chicken and rice."
Top Chef
"It was such a lack of creativity, imagination,"
Top Chef
"all the things you need to succeed in this competition."
Top Chef
"And flavor, it was so bland."
Top Chef
"I'm fired up. I want them to be like, "You know what?"
Top Chef
""You three go cook right now.""
Top Chef
"Jae, she really tried to be creative,"
Top Chef
"-but she couldn't execute. -The only creative thing about"
Top Chef
"that was putting nuts in the barley."
Top Chef
"Neither of the two main components"
Top Chef
"of Jae's dish work for me."
Top Chef
"The meat felt mushy and the barley did not feel soft."
Top Chef
"I did leave almost all of Jae's beef"
Top Chef
"on the plate because of the texture."
Top Chef
"I think we have our answer."
Top Chef
"-Yes. -Yes."
Top Chef
"Okay. Let's get them out here."
Top Chef
"♪♪♪"
Top Chef
"Chefs, imagine what it was like for that little girl"
Top Chef
"or that little boy to look up and maybe they saw a bird"
Top Chef
"flying and thought, "I could fly one day.""
Top Chef
"And they trained. And now think about the time"
Top Chef
"that you actually decided that you wanted to become a chef."
Top Chef
"And here you are. You're so close. You're here to win."
Top Chef
"Keep that thought. That's the thought"
Top Chef
"you're gonna need to push through."
Top Chef
"♪♪♪"
Top Chef
"Jae. Please pack your knives and go."
Top Chef
"Thank you."
Top Chef
"Jae, we'll see you at Last Chance Kitchen,"
Top Chef
"so you do have a shot of getting back in."
Top Chef
"Thank you."
Top Chef
"I wasn't proud of my dish for sure today."
Top Chef
"CONTESTANTS: Jae!"
Top Chef
"Don't act like you're surprised."
Top Chef
"Well, you [bleep] better go kick ass."
