Thank you.
They'll have to prepare everything from fillet fish to shellfish to whole fish, if they wanna ride a winning wave to a
$20,000 victory.
It's our ultimate seafood battle, right now, on Guy's Grocery Games.
Yeah.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: $20,000 TITLE SEQUENCE GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: Guy's GROCERY GAMES GRAPHICS ON
SCREEN: ALL SEAFOOD BATTLE So, let's meet our chefs.
Now, first up, Meg Bickford; an executive chef who's bringing her Cajun and Creole seafood dishes, straight from New
Orleans.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: GUY FIERI GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: MEGAN BICKFORD EXECUTIVE CHEF Growing up in the
South, seafood has been a part of my soul.
And, having a nine-month-old, I'm gonna make sure that she grows up enjoying it as much as I do.
Ow.
Next, Cesar Vega; executive chef who's blending his Puerto Rican routes with his love for sushi, in seafood dishes
you'll just have to see to believe.
My dad would teach me how to fish, and my mom would be cooking next to us, and I learned how to cook from her.
Now, I combine that with the experience of being a sushi chef for ten years.
Woo.
Go get 'em.
When he's not highlighting seafood in his modern Asian dishes, he's out on the water, spearfishing.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN HAZAMA EXECUTIVE CHEF I'm the executive chef at the Royal Hawaiian.
Being in Hawaii, we are su-- surrounded by bounties of the sea, so on my days off it's fun for me to spend time with
family and friends, and cooking up that catch I got.
Woo.
And finally, Andrew Black; chef owner who, though he's landlocked in Oklahoma, is still making waves with his
seafood dishes, inspired by growing up in the Caribbean.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW BLACK EXECUTIVE CHEF We grew up on the river, always go catching fish.
Yeah.
There we go, buddy.
Get 'em.
Good luck.
One, baby.
Welcome, chefs.
I've invited you here because you are known for being fantastic seafood chefs.
Great news; the winner of this competition gets to shop Flavortown, to the tune of 20,000 bucks.
A lot of coin.
Hell yeah.
I don't wanna make you swim upstream too hard in the first round, so I want you to just do something simple.
I want something that reflects your proud seafood heritage, but I'm gonna say the maximum ingredients you can get
is ten.
So, you're gonna make your favorite seafood dish, and you can get ten ingredients.
Any questions?
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: REGIONAL FISH DISH GAME 1 GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: EXPRESS LANE REGIONAL FISH DISH Got
it.
Let's do this.
Got that.
That mean we have to make an original seafood dish, but here's the trick; we gotta use ten ingredients.
So, in Jamaica, we're known for fish dishes with layers of flavors and textures.
And it's gonna have a beautiful color, and the flavor is gonna be really pronounced.

I can make some chili oil, marinate the fish, as well as a little bit of soy sauce and sesame oil.

iron chef, Cat Cora; Triple D restaurateur and a sea monster in the kitchen, Aaron May hamay .
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: JAMIKA PESSOA CO-HOST "LET'S EAT" & SEAFOOD EXPERT GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CAT CORA
RESTAURATEUR & IRON CHEF GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: AARON MAY CHEF & RESTAURATEUR Guy is giving 'em ten
ingredients.
I've never seen one, let alone two contestants, not use all their items in express lane.
No.
Creole tomato sauce with poached oysters, and maybe seared shrimp.
Alright then.
The key to this sauce is getting as much flavor out of a few amount of ingredients, in a very short amount of time.
Concasse actually means to crush, so what I'm gonna do is peel its skin off, cut 'em in half, and get all the guts out, so I
don't have seeds and water in my sauce.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: MEGAN SEARED SHRIMP AND POACHED OYSTERS IN WHITE WINE, FENNEL & TOMATO BROTH
That's a cooking.
I'm making fried snapper, with a fresh, spicy papaya salad on the top.
20 minutes, chefs.
20, 20.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR FRIED SNAPPER TOPPED WITH SPICY PAPAYA SALAD You might not have heard of this
stuff; it's called Poke.
Yeah.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN AHI TUNA POKE I need to make a sauce for the tuna, so I take my chili paste, a little
olive oil, and I run to the blender.
Mine.
Traditionally, Poke is to be eaten raw, but a nice searing on the tuna adds that texture.
When I was about two years old, my mom fed me Poke, so this is a regional dish, and I know I wanna make Hawaii
very proud.
I know that I'm doing a Poke the right way, but still putting a little modern twist on it.
Perfect.
Coconut.
So, for my regional dish, I'm gonna do pan-seared branzino, with ruby red prawns, in a coconut annatto sauce.
Next thing, I'm straining the coconut because I want the juice from the coconut, and I don't want the shell from the
coconut in it.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW BRANZINO AND PRAWNS IN A COCONUT CURRY SAUCE Alright chef, give me the
rundown here.
So, right here, we're gonna make the sauce, so we're reducing coconut cream with a little heavy cream, a lime leaf.
Okay.
Oh, yes.
I know, right?
I told you I wouldn't tell anybody about you taking those scarves, but now you bring it up.
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
Now, you bring it up.
They get ten ingredients, and that seems like a lot of stuff, but you think about trying to build flavors, and it's a little
difficult there.
Chefs, 16 minutes.
16 to go.
So, I have my broth simmering, and now it's time to focus on the seafood.
So, I coat my shrimps in the Creole seasoning, and I'm going to sear 'em in a pan, and I start getting my oysters into
the sauce.
I've been married for about five years now, to my best friend in the whole world.
Winning today would mean that I can take my husband on an Italian vacation.
Taking an eating tour through Italy together, would just be amazing.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: MEGAN SEARED SHRIMP AND POACHED OYSTERS IN WHITE WINE, FENNEL & TOMATO BROTH
That made a beautiful, bright snapper.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR FRIED SNAPPER TOPPED WITH SPICY PAPAYA SALAD So, Cesar's got a really nice
combination, right; the exotic Caribbean fruit, with that fried snapper that he's making.
If I win today, the plan is to go on a getting fat vacation with my wife; just go somewhere that we haven't been before,
and just eat and eat and eat, and don't stop eating.
I put a little bit of sesame oil, a little bit of soy, and I mix it together.
By pressing it out, letting it cool down evenly, and put in the blast chiller, when it hits the hot fryer it's gonna actually
expand, and become light and crispy.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN AHI TUNA POKE WITH CRISPY FRIED RICE AND UBE CHIPS Alright.
Oh yeah, baby.
The flash fried corn will add texture to my dish, and that sweetness I'm looking for, to make it complete.
Two minutes.
Two to go.
Break 1 This is an ultimate seafood battle, so I need the oysters to be cooked perfectly, to be plump.
I'm trying to make sure that every single ingredient brings a little dimension to the dish, 'cause I only got nine.
Beautiful.
I sprinkle some of the fried corn around the plate, and then I finish it off with my beautiful coconut, lime leaf, annatto
sauce- AKA my bling bling sauce.
40 seconds.
I'm running out of time.
I get my rice dropped in the fryer, and then I have to get my Poke on the plate.
I get the crispy rice out of the fryer, while it's still nice and hot.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: digital countdown clock from 00:05 Five, four, three, two, one.
Hey.
Woo.
That went really fast.
It did.
So, chefs, let's sail those regional seafood dishes over to the judges.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: Guy's GROCERY GAMES Judges, this is game one of our ultimate seafood battle.
And cod knows how they did it, but they made some great seafood dishes.
Cod knows.
Took the Ahi, instead of just serving it raw, I did a little marinade with some chili oil.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN AHI TUNA POKE WITH CRISPY FRIED RICE AND UBE CHIPS I didn't know what you were
doing, 'cause I thought at first, he's-- of course he's gonna make a raw Poke.
Then, you seared it and add a whole new layer of flavor to it, which I actually love.
If I had anything bad to say, I would ask for more rice because I could just keep snacking on that, almost like popcorn.
Thank you.
So, here I have you some nice seared shrimp, on top of some nice poached oysters, with white wine, tomato, fennel
broth.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: MEGAN SEARED SHRIMP AND POACHED OYSTERS IN WHITE WINE, FENNEL & TOMATO BROTH
Chef Meg, I really love the idea that you had here.
The fennel and tomato broth, really delicate.
But the oyster, texturally, because they were jarred, they were a little chewy.
Maybe, some panko to fry the oysters would give me a textural difference.
Okay.
Well, you know I'm from Jamaica, so what I did; I take coconut, lime leaf, annatto sauce; some ruby red prawns in it.
Then, we take the trout and we pan-sear it, real crispy and nice.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW BRANZINO AND PRAWNS IN A COCONUT CURRY SAUCE Jamika, have you been to
Jamaica?
Andrew, when I saw you crack that coconut, I was like, "That man knows what he's doing." That is how my
grandfather used to do it.
Yep.
I knew exactly-- you, you were on it.
I think, the way you cooked the fish and the shrimp are both perfect.
Thank you.
Okay.
Thank you.
Your mother would be proud.
Not to be outdone.
So, I made something that I used to as a kid; snapper fillet, and then a papaya salad.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR FRIED SNAPPER TOPPED WITH SPICY PAPAYA SALAD Cesar, you didn't disappoint with
your fish.
Yeah, your fish is perfectly cooked; golden brown, crunchy on the outside.
What the negatives are is that, you have an inconsistent dish here.
And I think that, maybe, you could have worked something else into the salsa with one extra ingredient.
Of course.
Beautiful dishes.
Really nice representation of who you are, and where you're from.
Thank you.
Anybody safe?
You know, to me, I don't think it's a coincidence.
I think the bottom two are the two who used nine ingredients; Cesar and Meg.
Alright, so if you had to eat one again, which one would it be?
Ooh.
Unfortunately, a couple of you didn't take shopping as critically as you probably should have.
The chef who will be checking out in the first round will be...
Chef Meg, I think that shopping just got the best of you.
You only took nine of your ten ingredients, so the dish just needed a textural difference.
Thank you.
Flavortown is no joke.
I had ten ingredients to use, and I only used nine, and I think I could have used that last ingredient.
So, for the second challenge, I want you to make the judges a seafood feast.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: A GAME GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: B SURE GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: C FOOD Ah, there you go.
Uh-oh, uh-oh.
I have the alphabet in here, so you can only use the ingredients that begin with a single letter of the alphabet.
Oh, man.
Only ingredients you can get have to start with the letter...
C.
C, Cat Cora.
So, you can get calamari, clams, catfish, but you can't get calibut.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CALAMARI GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CLAMS GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CATFISH GRAPHICS ON

A little bit.

Just one?

CRAB GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CURRY PASTE Let's go green.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CHICKEN STOCK ...chicken stock, some curry leaf, coconut milk, because I know all those
ingredients are gonna be that marriage of en-lighting, and bringing up, enhancing the sauce, and the flavor of the
dish.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CURRY LEAF GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COCONUT MILK GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CORN GRAPHICS
ON SCREEN: CHILI PEPPER GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CILANTRO Cilantro.
Perfect.
When Guy said to make a seafood feast, what I think is a lot of fish, a lot of seafood.
Calamaris.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CALAMARI I have to build a massive plate, and just get dirty with it.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CLAMS GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR SEAFOOD SOUP Oh, crab.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CLAM STOCK GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CORN This time, I can get more than ten items.
I'm just gonna put it in the cart, take it over there, and make it happen.
Yeah.
Four pieces.
Gonna need some lime cod.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CORVINA SEA BASS For my seafood, I'm making pan-seared corvina sea bass, and cornmeal
fried cod.
Medium corn.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW SEARED CORVINA SEA BASS AND CORNMEAL FRIED COD Yeah, this will have to work.
And I know I wanna make a sauce, for each of these fish dishes.
Get cooking.
Alright.
Seafood feasts where they've got a ton of seafood that starts with C, right?
Right, of course.
Calamari.
Calamari.
Calamari, yeah.
I don't think the seafood part will be the problem.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN THAI CURRY SEAFOOD FEAST Put the curry leaf in there.
I go in and start my sautéing off the curry leaves, and then also some curry paste.
I finish it off with the coconut milk, and let that thing just steep, to get all that flavor building and building.
And then, I drop it in last minute the fresh cilantro, so I can still keep that bright, fresh, green color in there.
I then add all the components to the blender, and I wanna make it as smooth as I can, so that the flavors just get more
and more intense.
Alright, catfish.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR SEAFOOD SOUP In Puerto Rico, I grew up eating fried fish.
Go in here.
It's that crunch in the texture.
I know clams are a little tricky, and you're not gonna open all of them at the same time.
So, then we start putting some heat on it, so when I drop them in the broth, they're open.
Nice.
But, when-- if you overcook calamaris, they're gonna become like rubber.
In and out.
That could be the thing, that's gonna make my dish not taste right.
We're gonna waste a lot of food.
Okay.
I'm making pan-seared corvina sea bass, and cornmeal fried cod.
Okay.
I like it.
Because I'm not using a boat load of seafood, I wanna absolutely showcase different techniques and different texture,
on this plate.
It has to be right.
I really wanna make it to the final round, 'cause I'm playing to win some money today, for my daughter.
She just got accepted to college, so this is a chance of me just saying, "Hey, let's win this money.
Let's get you to university, and let's have a ball." GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW SEARED CORVINA SEA BASS AND
CORNMEAL FRIED COD Andrew, Colin, Cesar, ten minutes.
Ten to go.
Break 3 I know that it's a seafood feast, so I know I need to have a ton of seafood and a ton of vegetables.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN THAI CURRY SEAFOOD FEAST Okay, chef, where we at?
I know that we're talking about seafood here, which cooks quickly, but talk about pushing it here.
Yeah, he's really working on developing flavors, but he's got to have some type of seafood to put those flavors on.
So, I really wanna win this $20,000 because I have another daughter on the way, so this would be huge.
For my seafood feast, I wanna make a really nice clam broth, so you're bringing all the flavors of seafood everywhere.
I remember I got a chicken stock, so I'm gonna add a little bit of chicken stock to it, some Cajun seasoning.
Take it easy.
That's the one that's gonna give the flavors, gonna bring the life to this dish.
Five minutes, chefs.
Five to go...
I'm gonna make a cashew dipping sauce, for my cornmeal fried catfish.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW SEARED CORVINA SEA BASS AND CORNMEAL FRIED COD Once my creaming
reduced, I put it in the blender with the top of the carrots.
So next, I know I gotta start on my carrot cream for the corvina sea bass.
So, I get the carrots in the pot with some cream, a little butter, and just let it reduce.
And then, in the blender you go.
Oh, man.
But, the calamari's cooked perfectly, and I have to go ahead and drop the rest of the seafood on there, and the curry
sauce.
I'm looking down on my seafood curry, knowing that I didn't get the cod in the bowl, and my clams aren't open yet.
I'm hoping that the judges are still considering this as a feast.
Beautiful.
But, I hope that my seafood feast is enough, and keep on cooking with these guys.
20 seconds.
So, I get the carrot puree on the plate, with a piece of corvina sea bass on top.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: digital countdown clock from 00:05 Five, four, three, two, one.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Alright chefs, let's see whose dish will be getting an A.
They could only get food that started with the letter C.
So, we did a corvina sea bass, and it is served with carrot puree and cornmeal fried cod, with cashew dip.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: ANDREW SEARED CORVINA SEA BASS AND CORNMEAL FRIED COD Chef, tell me the feast part
of this.
The feast was having more than one seafood on the plate.
I really don't.
But, your fried cod; the outer pieces were a little too crunchy, a little too dried out.
Okay.
We've got the catfish I breaded a little bit, to give a little texture on the side.
There's just a lot of food on the plate, and you can dig into it.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR CESAR'S SEAFOOD SOUP I think that you definitely gave us a feast.
And the crab was beautifully cooked, but the fried fish on the side; it just doesn't seem like it's a part of this feast
here.
But, I actually love the flavor of it.
Hi, chefs.
So, I made Thai seafood curry; a little bit of Chinese egg plant, carrots.
And I topped it off with a little bit of pickled chilies, and a little more cilantro for freshness.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN THAI SEAFOOD CURRY Colin, this is an amazing curry.
It's .
I don't see an abundance here, but I think the dish is well executed.
Delicious.
Thank you, chef.
Unfortunately, I think maybe you ran out of time, 'cause my clams just didn't really open.
Everybody.
I mean, I-- only thing I could say is that I loved Colin's execution of his vegetables and his sauce, but the clams didn't
open, so he can't even count that.
But he has an over-fried fish, so that leaves me with one piece of seafood on the fishes.
Right.
That's true.
I dunno.
Break 4 Chefs, we had some feast, some overcooked, some undercooked, but great sauces.
The chef who will be checking out in the second round, will be...
chef Andrew.
Andrew, unfortunately, you didn't play the game.
Even though I didn't win today, I'm proud of what I've put out.
It was a blast.
We have chef Cesar, the Miami Beach fish king, versus chef Colin, prince of Poke.
One of you will be sailing home, and one of you will shop Flavortown for up to 20,000 bucks.
So, I want you to show the judges how class you can be, and give them upscale fish dish.
To go upscale, we're gonna turn down the temperature scale, to play the tallest and coldest game yet; the frozen food
pyramid.
We have mozzarella sticks, egg rolls, pepperoni pizza, cheeseburgers, bean and cheese burrito, corn dogs.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR "FISH KING" VS COLIN "PRINCE OF POKE" GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: UPSCALE FISH DISH
GAME 3 GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: FROZEN FOOD PYRAMID UPSCALE FISH DISH ...the ice cream roll.
You have to incorporate the ice cream into your dish; chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, strawberry ice cream,
coffee ice cream.
Here we go...
There we go.
You've gotta make sure that you use this piece of equipment; a juicer, a smoking gun, a grill or a spiralizer, in making
this fantastic upscale fish dinner...
so, you're gonna get to use a pepperoni pizza, some vanilla ice cream and the grill, to make your upscale fish dinner.
Good.
Pretty good.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought this one would have been the one that would have made you go home.
No.
Come on.
Go, go.
Go.
I have to make an upscale fish dish, with frozen pepperoni pizza, vanilla ice cream and the grill.
It's gonna be a challenge, for sure.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN SEARED SALMON AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUREE Pizza.
In Hawaii, we use a grill all the time, so I figure you can use a grill for pizza, for sure.
Vanilla ice cream; I know that I can infuse that into a great sauce.
That's it.
Where's the scallops, scallops?
Scallops.
I wanna do a seared scallop, with a really nice halibut, and a-- do a beautiful butternut squash puree.
Pepperoni pizza.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR SEARED SCALLOP, GRILLED HALIBUT, AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUREE Pepperoni pizza,
and introduce the cheese to my puree.
And I could get really good flavor out of the pepperoni, to incorporate into the scallops.
Those flavors are gonna get together, and it's gonna be spectacular.
Upscale fish dish, the two frozen whammies, and the grill.
That's so difficult, because you're working with processed items, and it all has to be upscale.
For my upscale fish dish, I'm gonna do seared scallops, and then a really nice halibut.
Here we go.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR SEARED SCALLOP, GRILLED HALIBUT, AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUREE The first thing
that I gotta do; I get the butternut squash cooking.
So, take the squash, fill it with butter, wrap it in plastic crap .
Make it happen.
Scallops are so easy to overcook, so I just want a really nice sear on the bottom.
And I'm gonna baste my scallops with the dill butter, pepperoni.
Cesar, he's not only butter basting, he's pepperoni butter basting.
I love that.
Yeah, baby.
Nice.
I'm gonna make crispy seared salmon, with vanilla beurre blanc sauce, a cheesy butternut squash puree, and crispy
frozen pizza toast points,and fried pepperoni.
I like it.
I gotta get my salmon in the pan, and sear it nice and crispy, because if I use the grill, the salmon may not cook evenly.
So, I know I have to get this frozen pepperoni pizza incorporated into my dish.
I wanna scrape off all the cheese to use later, in my butternut squash puree.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN SEARED SALMON WITH GRILLED PIZZA, BUTTERNUT SQUASH, AND ICE CREAM BEURRE
BLANC Chef, how are we incorporating that pizza?
Okay.
I never thought I'd be adding frozen pepperoni pizza into an upscale dish, but here we go, Guy.
Done, baby?
For my pizza crust, I decide that I'm gonna use the crust to make some crostinis.
And I see the pepperoni dill butter, and I say, let me drop 'em in there.
I'm gonna get really nice flavor out of that.
hold.
I gotta finish my butternut squash puree, and I start scraping the butternut squash, so I can put it on my .
But, I gotta be careful that too, too much is gonna be too sweet.
For a high-end fish dish, using the grills is an element they have to use.
You would think that you would see some grilled fish.
Grill action.
Five minutes.
Five to go.
I gotta start making my vanilla ice cream beurre blanc, so I start chopping my shallots nice and thin, put that into a
pot, add my tarragon vinegar, and then also some fresh tarragon and cream.
And then, I go ahead and get my vanilla ice cream into my beurre blanc sauce.
Next, I know I have to make my butternut squash puree, so I go ahead and start cutting it, go ahead and add 'em to a
pot with a little bit of water, so they can start cooking.
Then, I added some cumin, a touch of chili flakes, and I hit it with a touch of cream.
So, we see Cesar has his butternut squash in his blender.
What this really is doing, though, is setting up a very strong head to head on this butternut squash puree.
Yes.
That's true.
Perfect.
60 I'm plating the butternut squash puree, to be the base of the whole dish.
I put two scallops in each dish, and make sure that some of the pepperoni's still on the scallops, so that flavor is in
there.
Put it here.
Beautiful.
30 seconds.
30 to go.
I got velvety butternut squash puree, a perfectly cooked salmon, and a little garnish of toast points to help make it
upscale.
Wow.
Man.
Woo.
Alright chefs, let's see whose upscale fish dish tips the scales.
Game three of the ultimate seafood battle, and our chefs had to make upscale fish dish.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: COLIN SEARED SALMON WITH GRILLED PIZZA, BUTTERNUT SQUASH, AND ICE CREAM BEURRE
BLANC Colin, I think you gave us a plate here, that's got some really dynamic flavors.
And I love your butternut squash sauce, as well, and the toast points.
And the salmon is cooked perfectly, text book; it's crispy on the skin side, it's moist and delicious on the inside.
I know that you grilled your pizza, but I just would have loved to see more of the grill used.
Thank you, chef.
What I made for you guys is a grilled halibut and scallops, vanilla ice cream, with some of the butternut squash puree.
GRAPHICS ON SCREEN: CESAR GRILLED HALIBUT, SEARED SCALLOPS, AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH PUREE Well Cesar, I
think that you definitely, in this round, stepped your game up.
Thank you.
You actually were able to balance the flavor of the vanilla ice cream, and brought it to a beautiful place.
And scallops are cooked perfectly, and I like these little pieces of pepperoni.
Yeah, I saw you basting it with that butter.
But the halibut; the grill marks are a little bit heavy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have liked to have seen, maybe, a little more balance on that.
Thank you.
We'll send you back to your kitchens, and we'll call you when we have a decision.
Thank you.
But he cooked nothing on the grill, except a quick defrost of the pizza.
Yeah.
But Cesar's fish, it was grilled inconsistently.
Yeah.
It was.
chef Cesar.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Had you put that fish on the grill, and gave us more, it may have been a different story.
Appreciate that.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Triple G ultimate seafood battle champion, chef Cesar.
Woo.
Let's go shopping.
Let's go shopping.
Congratulations, brother.
