Fukui San May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 "Open Table will be provided to each team to help manage the reservations." I don't think this will be the endorsement that you think it is, Open Table. 5 1 Link to comment
Bastet May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 What did Gregory say as his reason for picking Malarkey first? I couldn't hear him properly. Link to comment

NowVoyager May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 Gregory got my pressure up. Not picking Melissa for his first choice. Not serving the main dish (oxtails) that won him the pitch. This is gonna be a slaughter. 2 Link to comment

ShawnaLanne May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 What was up with the temper tant r um about the plates. You don't get to call "dibs" like a child. I'm annoyed I'm taking Malarkey's side. But if they are the best, they are the best. 4 Link to comment

ShawnaLanne May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 I think this can go either way, Kevin's team has a lot of dishes. We've seen over and over how serving unnecisary dishes can bite you. 1 Link to comment
MerBearHou May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 Holy moly, impressive work by Malarkey setting up that restaurant by himself. 6 Link to comment
NowVoyager May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 I'm surprised they have to do so much manual labor to set up the restaurants. 4 minutes ago, ShawnaLanne said: I think this can go either way, Kevin's team has a lot of dishes.

Omg. I missed that the first time. Yeah, when I heard Kevin say that I was surprised. But then we had Lee Anne running around multiple specially stores, cutting into her and everyone elses cooking time. Too much freedom, in that way, may bite the team.

MerBearHou May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 Just now, NowVoyager said: Leanne just had the home phone call of death. IJS I thought the same thing!! Noooo, don’t call home! Who knows??!! 2 Link to comment
Ashforth May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 Gregory choosing Malarkey over Melissa: insanity or genius? I predict Leeanne for the PYKAG. @NowVoyager jinx 1 1 Link to comment
MerBearHou May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 (edited) This episode is exhausting to watch!! I’m anxious as a viewer! Family style — no can do right now in the age of Corona. Feels weird to see. Edited May 8, 2020 by MerBearHou 1 Link to comment

I can understand Gregory wanting Malarkey for FOH, but the fantasy baseball player in me was yelling, "Dude, he'll still be available in the second round!" You go for an ace in Round 1. 3 3 Link to comment

MerBearHou May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 You just knew that oxtail not on the Haiti Kann menu was going to be a big deal. I didn’t realize they had to exactly mimic the menu that was in their pitch. What if the items aren’t available when they shop? 2 Link to comment

I have long had a great fondness for Leanne, but she really had a stank attitude here: freaking out and berating the servers, then saying in a po'd way "okay, I'll just make salads" when calm, collected Stephanie said she could take over expediting. and Stephanie! What a star utility player! Crazy that she was chosen last. 13 Link to comment
Irlandesa May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 I'm behind. My apologies but holy hell Kevin's vitriol over the plates was completely uncalled for. They're plates! The look matters less than that they go with the concept and they're appropriate for the dish in which they're served. 9 Link to comment
NowVoyager May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 Hm! Kevin's getting criticized left & right. Are they faking us out? 1 Link to comment
MerBearHou May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 So many mistakes by Kevin — too many dishes, not going out to present to the judges, stupid dish fight with Malarkey, concept where the tables were so “family comfy” that they didn’t turn over and the restaurant filled with people standing around, what else am I missing? 1 4 Link to comment
Thumper May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 (edited) I found myself rooting for Gregory’s team even though Malarkey was on it, and I don’t care for him. But Malarkey (salesman, keeps his cool) as FOH was probably a plus. And everyone was thinking Kevin’s team was the Dream Team. Hate to see who will go home on Kevin’s team, though. I missed the dish drama. Edited May 8, 2020 by Thumper 5 Link to comment

MerBearHou May 8, 2020 Share May 8, 2020 Admirable way to go out. Kevin was so enamored with recreating a big meal like at his grandmother’s home and he couldn’t look at the realities objectively. It did him in. 7 Link to comment

ProudMary May 22, 2020 Share May 22, 2020 IIRC, Stephanie crushed the blind test in her original season too. I love the blind taste test challenges! 5 Link to comment
