Hell’s Kitchen Season 19 episode 5 preview: Which chef pays the toll?
After both kitchens were shut down in the last episode, Hell’s Kitchen Season 19 episode 5 brings a spicy twist for the chefs. As the chefs try to find their groove in the kitchen, Gordon Ramsay throws them another twist. Is Hell’s Kitchen going South of the Border with its menu?
According to FOX, Hell’s Kitchen Season 19 episode 5 “Hell Starts Taking Its Toll” features the following:
"Each team is tasked with creating four Mexican dishes from a food truck and elevating them to restaurant-quality dishes worthy of Hell’s Kitchen. In order to get their ingredients, each team must corral live animals into pens to pick their proteins. Meanwhile, tensions rise on the blue team and one member walks out of the competition during dinner service in the all-new “Hell Starts Taking Its Toll” episode of HELL’S KITCHEN airing Thursday, Feb. 4 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX."
Since Hell’s Kitchen finds ways to bring in special guests, it seems likely that the Mexican dish challenge would have a celebrity chef component. Could Aaron Sanchez make an appearance?
Like many individual challenges, it is an opportunity for Chef Ramsay to gauge the chefs’ palate and creativity. While working the brigade is different, chefs need to show a spark with their own dishes. That desire to push the flavor envelope is key to their overall success.
Even though each chef needs to stand out on their own, the battle of the personalities is becoming more apparent. As seen in the previous episode, it seems that the Marc versus Declan war will eventually come to blows.
Could Hell’s Kitchen Season 19 episode 5 serve a knuckle sandwich?
Whether you agree with the chef ego idea or just think that it is men trying to stake their territory, the push to be the loudest voice can backfire. Sometimes the strongest leader is the one with the softer voice.
While the Hell’s Kitchen competition is still early, it can be important to impress yet not become the focal point of the kitchen. Sometimes a little mistake can be a huge one when if your voice is too loud. Maybe it might be better to mix it up later in the game.
