On last week’s episode Chef Ramsay put the contestants to the ultimate memory test when he challenged the red and blue teams to match side dishes with four different types of protein. The team that paired the dishes successfully won a day trip to Laguna Beach, while the losing team spent the day preparing honey taffy from scratch. Later, the contestants got an early wake-up call to prepare a breakfast reception for the first-ever HELL’S KITCHEN wedding. While some contestants rose to challenge, others scrambled to complete the simplest dishes, resulting in an emotional elimination round. At the end of the episode Chef said Demarco was given too many chances and Chef had had enough and sent him home. Did you watch last week’s episode? We did and we recapped it right here for you.
