Minicap: Hell’s Kitchen

It’s down to the final six on Hell’s Kitchen, and the last episode to pit team against team. After this week, the final five will discard their red and blue jackets and don black jackets, forming the ultimate band of middling-competent kitchen help. They kick things off with times entree service, which everyone executes rather well, but one team wins overall and is sent on a shopping spree, while the other team must rearrange the dining room for a black-tie charity event.

The teams are given six courses to prepare for the rich folk, each person taking responsibility for two courses. This leads to draw in the form of sabotage conspiracy theories, unsalted potatoes, messy capellini, undercooked apples, and all sort of hand-wringing incidents, and one team is unable to hold it together. The other team finishes just fine, while the screwy team yells at each other. I’ll let you guess which does which.

The Black Jackets are distributed, amid much melodrama, hyperbole, tears, and accusations, and at least one person is sent home. Find out who later this week in the full recap!

BlueCanary is as unorthodox a blend of optimistic and bitter, laid-back and anxious, motivated and straight up lazy tas one is likely to meet outside an unspecified institution. She spent the past decade holding a variety of job titles, including reporter, tech writer, production manager, and administrative assistant (the go-to job in this economy for folks who just HAD to get that English degree). She is currently living under the tiny yet powerful thumb of an awesome, pint-sized little dude, who wets himself and can't form full sentences (read: stay at home mom). Another tyrannical little thumb is gestating in her womb. She is a regular on The Neutral Corner podcast and blogs at www.mamamuzzle.com. 

Blue's as-yet-unpublished YA novel, The Nature of Echoes, is currently a Quarterfinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.

    This group is taking care of the Humane Society and the Cancer Association?

    I wonder how many dogs now have cancer thanks to their incompetence.

    And what the hell was Top Chef’s Fabio doing there? He must have been at the bottom of the donation group.

    I’m weirded out by the Top Chef cross-overs, with Cliff working at BLT Steakhouse and now Flabio. All we need now is Carla hootie-hooing while the chefs try to create a dessert out of love and air, as she hypes up her new fall talk show.

    Fabio is a personal chef.

    Cliff has worked in several restaurants since his top chef days. Restaurants have a very high turnover.

    On Masterchef when they had the celeb catering event I swear I saw Tabatha from Tabatha’s Salon Takeover and the porn star guy from Chef Academy was there and actually spoke on camera.
