Since this is a very serious competition involving very serious, talented, gifted kitchen artists, what could be more fitting than a gimmick that requires everyone to chase some chickens? No, that’s not a euphemism (if only)–it’s the opening challenge on Tuesday’s episode of Hell’s Kitchen! Once the chickens are caught, the contestants must work in pairs to present the best chicken dishes. Meanwhile, we’re left wondering if the chickens being sautéed, or what have you, are actually the ones that were frolicking in the parking lot moments before, or if they hauled in some dead ones from somewhere else. Sadly, we are never to learn the answer to this mystery.

Plenty of fur is flying on both teams by this point, as Elise continues to antagonize, Carrie continues to aggravate, Gordon continues to agonize, and BlueCanary continues to alliterate. There’s drama aplenty on the meat and fish stations, special appearances by Olympic athletes, and blame cast in all directions. Monterray gets mouthy, Natalie gets weepy, and Jonathon says a naughty word when he’s supposed to be acting all professional and dignified. It’s a nice, old-fashioned clustercuss in Hell’s Kitchen this week, so stay tuned for the full recap, and find out who manages to drive Gordon to the brink!

Hell’s Kitchen just seems to be the loud white trash cousin of Master Chef.

Favorite Hell’s Kitchen euphemism from this season ocurred in the grilled meat episode. Coming back from commercial the announcer intones with all seriousness: “while the pairs frantically work their meat”. Looking forward to your full recap.
