A couple Hell's Kitchen Laws: If your dish is not chosen to be tasted, there is no doubt it is absolutely delicious If it is your first time making an international dish, there is no doubt it is absolutely delicious.
I think it should be said that some chefs unfamiliar with a dish tend to stick with basic flavors or take it in unexpected directions. It's a gamble, but it can pay off big when not knowing what the standard conventional designs are.
No, the most American thing was “I think everyone on the planet has cooked Mexican food” - a guy who doesn’t know that not every country on the planet borders Mexico
@@oogatz1917 Do you think? I’m not sure. Certainly you could say that about the cuisines of a great many nations but I don’t think Mexican food stands out as being particularly common worldwide. I’ve never eaten tacos and I don’t think that’s unusual.
Mexican food in Europe isn't that popular as like in USA We have a lot of Italian restaurants, Greek restaurants Chinese, Indian, even Turkish Kebabs are almost on every corner where I live, Seen only one Mexican restaurant and it was in England Poland, Germany, Czech, Italy, Netherlands -nothing Maybe I was in wrong places to see them (Pretty sure there Is at least one in capital of Poland tho but not sure) And ngl when someone says that they are making Mexican food here they are just adding red beans and some corn
What about that moment (also) in Hell's Kitchen Season 11 when Zach made a Japanese food dish during the International Food Challenge and ended up pronouncing "bok choy" as "bok chewy" and "soy sauce" as "sewy sauce" ?
What I thought too! I'm British, and my only local takeaways are Indian, Chinese or Italian. Not even sure where I'd have to go nearby to find Mexican food, it just isn't as big here as other cuisines. Cooking-wise we mostly cook Italian, Indian, Greek or English food. It's just so American to assume that EVERYONE on the planet eats food from your neighbouring country!
I have had real authentic Mexican food cooked by people from Mexico. The difference in flavors compared to the "Mexican" that's cooked by "everyone" is as different as Italian and Japanese cuisine.
@@Amy-se8vq “it’s so American to assume everyone on the planet has eaten from from your neighboring country” no it’s not “so American” it’s because Mexican Food is super popular.

So you're telling me Dave got chastised for using pork in his Indian dish, but several seasons later in a challenge about Indian food one of the 4 proteins Gordon told them to use was pork? Make it make sense.
Pork is not actively consumed in India. And the Muslim population does not eat it. Other religions do sometimes eat pork especially in rural areas or the urban poor. Interestingly, Beef is also consumed in many parts of India, even by Hindus in some instances.
He wasn't chastised for it. He was just informing him. It was a teaching moment and he taught him because he wasn't sure. Sharing knowledge is always beneficial.
@@jagcubyugi9 Seriously, there's a significant difference between chastisement and constructive criticism, and this was the latter. He wasn't reprimanding him or anything, he was acknowledging that he did a good job making it but also informed him of something that he didn't appear to know about so he can take it into consideration if he makes similar dishes in the future.
2:24 "I thought I will use beef and then I thought I remembered something" cracked me up about indian food XDD Gordon's reaction was almost like he wanted to come up to Dave:"what the fuck did you just say to me" 🤣
I wish Gordon would have encouraged one vegetarian dish for India considering vegetarianism is representative of the majority of dishes in the subcontinent. Instead of having pork. Idk vegetarian dishes encourage more creativity bc you have to work harder to get a hearty flavor.
@@MrSonicHedgehog I know but that’s where you lose authenticity, right? Cause Indian cuisine is DEFINITELY defined by a lot of vegetarian dishes. Idk even if you “hate” something that usually means you haven’t found something you like. And the point of a challenge is for it to challenge your ability. Additionally in more recent seasons he always has vegetarian challenges. Perhaps it’s something to revisit. Btw when he went to india he engaged in eating and enjoying lots of vegetarian food, openly admitting it was the first vegetarian food he enjoyed.
I don't think they really want authentic Indian/Mexican/Chinese food. They more so want the ideas of those cuisines, editorialized into the western fine dining style.
@@ShadowMoon878Aladdin isn’t set in any one country. The creators took inspirations from multiple different cultures. I bet sterling thought the dancers looked like jasmine, hence the Aladdin comment
Mexican food is incredibly cheap and fairly simple unless you're making explicitly challenging dishes which few people eat not to mention make regularly
"The main goal is to cook whatever animal India doesn't worship." I love Dave lol, dude speaks his mind and is vocal about being uncomfortable with the challenge. But he STILL knocks it out of the park. Dude's an inspiration to every "fake it til you make it" cook
It's hilarious how so many people who were like "I have no idea what I'm doing/I'm not all that familiar with this" end up doing it perfectly and those that are supposed to do it perfectly get way too cocky or something and fail miserably lol
Dan (Hell's Kitchen Season 11): Claims that he knows how to cook Asian food since he lived in Asia for a year. Also Dan (Hell's Kitchen Season 11): Ends up *UNDERCOOKING* the rice for his fried rice dish.
"I think everyone in the world has cooked Mexican food" No, they haven't. Guy keeps saying he lived in Asia for a year, but never clarifies where in Asia.
Immediate red flag is that the chef that lived in asia never mentions what country. He could have lived in thailand and thought that made him better at chinese food lol
3:00 that look on the Chinese Chef when she replied "I ordered Chinese food all the time" to the question "have you worked on Chinese dishes before?" Was like" wth you talking miss?😂😂
Okay Imma give y’all a good tip if you actually wanna try making Indian food- always start with some oil and when it’s hot, toss in jeera seeds (not sure what that is in English). Then you wanna use gigi paste (ginger garlic paste)- you can make your own by blending up ginger and garlic) or buy some at your local Indian store. And now you have a good base for something authentic! Also if you find Indian food spicy here’s a STUNNING recipe for the ultimate spice abatement tool- my own Cucumber Raita! Take 3-4 heaping tablespoons of whole milk yoghurt (or Dahi). Freshly grate Persian or normal cucumber (after peeling it!) and mix your cucumber with your yoghurt. Don’t worry about the water from the cucumber bc that’s will loosen up the yoghurt. Add a little black pepper and a little salt (to taste)- optionally some people like to add a chopped chili but as someone who has been victim to a bite full of chilis, you can avoid chili your first time. And there you go- best Raita ever!
@@kvin9210 you’re right! Unfortunately depending on what part of india you’re from, you may not recognize that not everyone’s eating habits are different. Vikas is North Indian and in the north there is a much higher Muslim population than the south (especially in Uttarakhand) so this is likely why he said what he said.
Indian food has so much variance from province to province, and while not common on the national scale, pork is absolutely eaten frequently in some regions (particularly Goa). I get how the other chefs may not know that, but its weird that the Indian one didnt know that... Maybe he just isnt familiar with Goan cuisine.
@@KariThomasMiller definitely agree with you! It’s like how some Indian chefs will say everyone eats roti with food despite this being very false in the south. Or than vegan food isn’t common in India (when it is in the south)- every region has its own unique cuisine!
pretty sure her challenge was to work with pork/work around pork. with dave, he had an option of any protein and went with one that isnt typically eaten
Yay Dave. Good try. Love my Indian food. I love how the chefs who didnt know what the hell to do just slayed it and the overconfident ones just missed it and messed up. This proves Gordon's rule of Never overthink Cooking and always play it safe.
@@georgeedward602 on paper he had everything going against him. His opponent (Kori) had Mexican roots so the challenge should just be child’s play for her, so the producers thought that him crying is justified by him beating the odds against someone who has background regarding Mexican food.

I love how Randy had no clue how to cook Greek food and got 5 stars 😂24:00
So you're telling me Dave got chastised for using pork in his Indian dish, but several seasons later in a challenge about Indian food one of the 4 proteins Gordon told them to use was pork? Make it make sense.
Pork is not actively consumed in India. And the Muslim population does not eat it. Other religions do sometimes eat pork especially in rural areas or the urban poor. Interestingly, Beef is also consumed in many parts of India, even by Hindus in some instances.
He wasn't chastised for it. He was just informing him. It was a teaching moment and he taught him because he wasn't sure. Sharing knowledge is always beneficial.
@@jagcubyugi9 agreed
@@jagcubyugi9 Seriously, there's a significant difference between chastisement and constructive criticism, and this was the latter. He wasn't reprimanding him or anything, he was acknowledging that he did a good job making it but also informed him of something that he didn't appear to know about so he can take it into consideration if he makes similar dishes in the future.
For safe Play, always use Chicken. You can never go wrong with Chicken in Indian Cuisine. And Fish/Seafood can be popular as well :)
Kevin was tasting his food and then putting the spoon back in the food. Can't believe he didn't get called out for that...
"I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just pretending"
Oh Dave, never change
2:24 "I thought I will use beef and then I thought I remembered something" cracked me up about indian food XDD
Gordon's reaction was almost like he wanted to come up to Dave:"what the fuck did you just say to me" 🤣
I wish Gordon would have encouraged one vegetarian dish for India considering vegetarianism is representative of the majority of dishes in the subcontinent. Instead of having pork. Idk vegetarian dishes encourage more creativity bc you have to work harder to get a hearty flavor.
He's been seen saying he hates Vegetarian dishes
@@MrSonicHedgehog I know but that’s where you lose authenticity, right? Cause Indian cuisine is DEFINITELY defined by a lot of vegetarian dishes. Idk even if you “hate” something that usually means you haven’t found something you like. And the point of a challenge is for it to challenge your ability. Additionally in more recent seasons he always has vegetarian challenges. Perhaps it’s something to revisit. Btw when he went to india he engaged in eating and enjoying lots of vegetarian food, openly admitting it was the first vegetarian food he enjoyed.
I don't think they really want authentic Indian/Mexican/Chinese food. They more so want the ideas of those cuisines, editorialized into the western fine dining style.
I completely agree, the Indian food I see is stuff I have not even eaten. They just throw a couple of spices and that somehow changes the cuisine.
@@raksrulesaks he dislikes vegetarian dishes he respects them he just doesn’t like them he hates vegans
Can everyone agree that the judge from the Chinese cuisine challenge needs to return
Dave's win is what we call "failing upward."
The last clip with Adam was so heartwarming ❤
@@blik99 Those weren't fake tears.
Seeing Dave win made me so happy. Never doubt yourself.
Gordon: "We are going to cook Indian dishes."
Indian dancers come out.
Sterling: "I've seen real life Aladdin characters!"
...Bruh
Okay, I'm glad it wasn't just me, I was like "....First off. Bruh. Aladdin is set in Saudi Arabia, THERE IS A LITERAL SONG CALLED ARABIAN NIGHTS-"
@@SoraLover1994 Actually Aladdin is set in ancient Iraq. The city it took place is literally Baghdad.
@@ShadowMoon878Aladdin isn’t set in any one country. The creators took inspirations from multiple different cultures. I bet sterling thought the dancers looked like jasmine, hence the Aladdin comment
Dave and his Indian dish has to be the most clutch moment in international challenges on this channel
Dave is like that stoner guy that just stumbled in on the casting and nailed it haha
Dave is an inspiring legend in Hell's kitchen. Broken hand and still going, and not afraid to take chances. Huge respect!
13:10 Pain. Shows Japanese armor, says “we’re making Chinese food.”
The armor looks very fictional to me tbh
There are some Japanese resemblance but the overall design is veru Chinese like
Yep, it was pretty obvious from the Helmets "Maedate" (crest) alone that it was Samurai armour.
I literally was surprised when he said that
I just know somebody's abuela was upset when he said Mexican cooking was easy.
They say it's easy cause they just cook tacos and burritos, im disappointed we didnt see more variety. Even in the tacos, no one did al pastor
Mexican food is incredibly cheap and fairly simple unless you're making explicitly challenging dishes which few people eat not to mention make regularly
"The main goal is to cook whatever animal India doesn't worship." I love Dave lol, dude speaks his mind and is vocal about being uncomfortable with the challenge. But he STILL knocks it out of the park. Dude's an inspiration to every "fake it til you make it" cook
It's hilarious how so many people who were like "I have no idea what I'm doing/I'm not all that familiar with this" end up doing it perfectly and those that are supposed to do it perfectly get way too cocky or something and fail miserably lol
I appreciate Dave's honesty. Man doesn't know Jack about Indian food but tried his best to make something good and respectful.
First one was really wholesome, poor fella was intimidated but still delivered the best he knew how to make and won.
Dan (Hell's Kitchen Season 11): Claims that he knows how to cook Asian food since he lived in Asia for a year.
Also Dan (Hell's Kitchen Season 11): Ends up *UNDERCOOKING* the rice for his fried rice dish.
He should've gone back to Asia for another year. :P
@@OverlordZeroULTIMA Yeah, I agree. But the thing is, which part of Asia did Dan live there for a year?
@@VampireFan-rf5kb Probably Dubai lol.
Dave should have done curry chicken. Can never go wrong with chicken 🤣
Careful not to undercooked the chicken. 😂
"I think everyone in the world has cooked Mexican food" No, they haven't.
Guy keeps saying he lived in Asia for a year, but never clarifies where in Asia.
Yeah that sentence was so American I cringed.
I kept yelling "where in Aisia!?" 😂
I like how the Chinese chef remarks is just “ it’s very good”
Immediate red flag is that the chef that lived in asia never mentions what country. He could have lived in thailand and thought that made him better at chinese food lol
Kori losing a Mexican food challenge was a twist!
I loved it. She was such a fake.
3:00 that look on the Chinese Chef when she replied "I ordered Chinese food all the time" to the question "have you worked on Chinese dishes before?" Was like" wth you talking miss?😂😂
I absolutely love it when they brag about it’s their specialty and then they get brokenhearted because their dish sucked
I love how the chefs that boast the most about where they studied and lived always perform the worst
The best and worst international dishes on Hell’s Kitchen can speak for themselves. They know who they are.
Okay Imma give y’all a good tip if you actually wanna try making Indian food- always start with some oil and when it’s hot, toss in jeera seeds (not sure what that is in English). Then you wanna use gigi paste (ginger garlic paste)- you can make your own by blending up ginger and garlic) or buy some at your local Indian store. And now you have a good base for something authentic!
Also if you find Indian food spicy here’s a STUNNING recipe for the ultimate spice abatement tool- my own Cucumber Raita! Take 3-4 heaping tablespoons of whole milk yoghurt (or Dahi). Freshly grate Persian or normal cucumber (after peeling it!) and mix your cucumber with your yoghurt. Don’t worry about the water from the cucumber bc that’s will loosen up the yoghurt. Add a little black pepper and a little salt (to taste)- optionally some people like to add a chopped chili but as someone who has been victim to a bite full of chilis, you can avoid chili your first time. And there you go- best Raita ever!
Cumin!
@@ayesha5113 thanks so much! Haha sometimes I just blank on the English version of Indian spices haha!
You’re a true friend of the people for this 🙏🏽
@@hinataXkibaforeva102 thanks :)
i wish more comments were people sharing their own recipes
"I was gonna use beef then I thought I remembered something"
Ramsay: 😮😮😮😮😮😮🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
why is it that in one indian challenge dave gets told off for doing pork, but jen wins with a pork dish in a later challenge?
Pork is eaten in India by Christians ; especially in Goa. I think chef Vikas should've recognized that atleast.
@@kvin9210 you’re right! Unfortunately depending on what part of india you’re from, you may not recognize that not everyone’s eating habits are different. Vikas is North Indian and in the north there is a much higher Muslim population than the south (especially in Uttarakhand) so this is likely why he said what he said.
Indian food has so much variance from province to province, and while not common on the national scale, pork is absolutely eaten frequently in some regions (particularly Goa). I get how the other chefs may not know that, but its weird that the Indian one didnt know that... Maybe he just isnt familiar with Goan cuisine.
@@KariThomasMiller definitely agree with you! It’s like how some Indian chefs will say everyone eats roti with food despite this being very false in the south. Or than vegan food isn’t common in India (when it is in the south)- every region has its own unique cuisine!
pretty sure her challenge was to work with pork/work around pork. with dave, he had an option of any protein and went with one that isnt typically eaten
Oh I love a 36 minute Hell’s Kitchen video❤
Yay Dave. Good try. Love my Indian food. I love how the chefs who didnt know what the hell to do just slayed it and the overconfident ones just missed it and messed up. This proves Gordon's rule of Never overthink Cooking and always play it safe.
"They have coffee shops, red light district… "
Yea u mention that only for the red light district.
Man Adam is one of my favorite S19 chefs alongside Declan and Cody
Crying over the judges' comment was genius as well.
@@georgeedward602 on paper he had everything going against him. His opponent (Kori) had Mexican roots so the challenge should just be child’s play for her, so the producers thought that him crying is justified by him beating the odds against someone who has background regarding Mexican food.
Ramsay wasn't having it for Jessica's excuse in front of the Chinese Judge
In the beginning of this video, Dave was sweating like he was on trial for murder🤣
Would be fun to see them cook other dishes. German, thai, filipino. Anything other than the usual three
Well, there're Americans, they wouldn't have got a clue 😂
there're?
@@m3lodr4matic You can't mock American's lack of knowledge of foreign cultures while not knowing how to use the proper form of they're bro
@@m3lodr4maticAnd why would they
@@robertwaksberg At least I know a second language, unlike the majority of Americans.
The look of dismay on Gordon's face when he saw Dave's face. Priceless. He still won though.
1:25 "i don't know what I'm doing, I'm just pretending" he just sumed up my whole life!
Japanese food is like Chinese food I only know that because a Korean friend of a season 11 HK contestant told me this
There's still a distinguished difference tho
Zach
You actually listened to Wacky Zacky?!
Chinese & Japanese are Completely Different from one another, especially if you watch those classic Iron Chef episodes.
@@MsMatilda24 that's the joke
When they had samurai armor up there I was like, wait thats japanese.
26:00 - Have you ever seen a kiwi in Greece before? Greece actually is the 3rd largest exporter of kiwis with kiwi farming dating back to the early 1970s. I am a trivia writer so that is something not many people, especially Greeks like him, know.
Fish and Chicken were so safe and he picks pork. Good job
"She speaks Mexican"💀💀💀
Jon is such a goat for being patient and willing to help around
I love how somehow the people that don’t have any idea how to actually cook that food end up having the best one😂
1:34 did he just taste his food with the spoon, AND STIRRED WITH THE SAME SPOON!?!
The Mexican girl who got critiqued by Arón Sanchez I feel so bad for her. She really wanted to empress him.
She won the season, so won the long game at least
The Holland answer with the red-light district, being good for a chef was absolutely hilarious.
I love how energetic the chinese chef got announcing the winners
“ she speaks Mexican “ I had to laugh A little 😂💙
Look how bad red ramsey’s face he was so embarrassed when she said she hasn’t had Chinese take out for a while lol 😝
"She's from Mexico, she speaks Mexican"
Murica
Poor Ariel got very tongue tied. I was also shouting at Dave not pork not pork
