Hell’s Kitchen Season 23 episode 3 exclusive clip: Need a stronger grip?

After stumbling in their first dinner service, these head chefs learned that working in a Gordon Ramsay kitchen is far from easy. In this Hell’s Kitchen Season 23 episode 3 exclusive clip, one chef wishes that she had a stronger grip on the competition.

Standing out in a group of successful chefs is difficult. Even though every chef can have an off night in their own restaurant, the reality is that Hell’s Kitchen has a no-mistake policy. An unforeseen error could put even a favorite heading towards elimination.

While the dinner service determines each chef’s fate, the other challenges often showcase the chefs’ real culinary creativity. Even though each challenge has a limited scope, that focus can prove a chef’s ability to execute under pressure.

In this Hell’s Kitchen Season 23 episode 3 exclusive clip provided to FoodSided, Ann Marie might need more muscle to ensure her best dish gets plated in time.

To clarify the clip, the competition is a seafood showdown. While there is one team who will earn the coveted praise, missing a key ingredient would prove to be a big issue for the Red Team. If Chef Ann Marie needs to use caviar and it is not on her plate, the reality is that her team will suffer.

Although no one should throw a jar across a kitchen or break a knife to pry open the container, it is curious that no one wants to help Chef Ann Marie to finish her dish. If it is a team challenge, there should be some help on the line, especially when it is a non-elimination cook.

Given that it is still early, it is unclear which chefs have a chance to make a run to the title and who will crash and burn early. As any Hell’s Kitchen fan appreciates, there are many twists and turns that will happen along the way. If stuck caviar jar is the biggest obstacle, these chefs might be fortunate.

Currently, it seems that the Red Team holds an advantage against the Blue Team. Not only did they win the first reward challenge, they lasted longer during the first dinner service. Whether or not their good fortune continues remains to be seen.

Will the Red or the Blue team survive “Shucking Hell?” Hell’s Kitchen Season 23 episode 3 airs Thursday, October 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. The episode can be streamed the next day on Hulu.
