"This is MasterChef Canada... And you give me this?" | MasterChef Canada | MasterChef Worldp

You like very spicy food, don't you? Yes. I don't. Tamara, please come up. What do we have here? I did my take on a Vietnamese salad roll with soba noodles, sesame oils, chili paste, marinated fish and some sake and fried them. I notice you keep pulling the Asian card. Yeah. First I did Indian. Asian. Then I did Chinese. Asian. And then I did Vietnamese. Asian. Again. I'm trying to go around the world. Maybe skip Asian next time. They're delicious. Thank you. I wish there were more of the smelts, though. Thank you. Tamara, I like the presentation. It looks very nice. I was trying to go big and not go home. Sounds like a good strategy. I really like the flavors. I think it's a very smart dish. Well done. Thank you very much. I am not just a one-trick pony. I can do other things other than Asian, and I'm definitely going to bring it. Danny, please come up here with your dish. What's going on here? You smelt croquettes with chili lime sauce? Where are the smelts? I pureed them and then... You pureed them? Why? Why would you puree a beautiful fish like that and turn it into mush? It's pretty bad. Danny, saw you out there, arms folded like this. Very cool. Always. I see. Is this a joke? I mean, this is MasterChef Canada, and you give me this? I'm pretty much screwed. I could be going home for croquettes. Dale, would you please come up with your dish? Looks like you made choux pastry. Yes, I did, chef. They are cheese gorges stuffed with the smelt that has been pan-fried in butter for a few minutes. You know you got it right. It's hollow in the middle. Is this hollow in the middle? Yes, they are, chef. Look at that. Perfectly hollow. That's a sign of somebody who has some great technique. The fish have a very nice texture, actually. Very soft, delicate. Fantastic. Well, the gorges is cooked impeccably. Perfect little vessel to put the smelt in. The creaminess and the dill actually work. I am impressed. Well done. Megan, can you please come up here with your dish? This is a smelt caramelized onion quiche with mushrooms and asparagus. First thing I would do, get rid of this, you know? I'm puzzled by this entire dish, the size, the presentation, just weird. It's very fishy in an unpleasant way. Hino. I leave flour and I deep fry the smelt. I also made a little vegetable soup with a homemade noodle. I think it's a very nice presentation. The fact that you've used a little kitchen towel to take out some of that extra oil from the frying, it's one of the best I've seen today in presentation. Very nice. It's the kind of dish I'd like to go home to at night. I'm intrigued by this. What is this? It's a homemade noodle. They're called tagliatelle. It's incredible that you managed to do all of this in such a short period of time. I would serve this in my restaurant. That is truly an honor for you to say that. He did something that I couldn't do in an alley. He's the one to watch. Kayla, would you please bring up your dish? Spicy red curry with jasmine rice and tango fried smelt. Whoa. You like very spicy food, don't you? Yes. I don't. It's too spicy. Where is the star of the show? This is it here? Yes, chef. This lonely little smelt. Right now it's probably thinking, how did I end up in this fire? Please go back to your station. Kind of made my day. Ben, let's see your dish. What do you call these things? I call these, I really want to stay fish cakes, man. This looks like I want to watch the show from my couch, fish cakes. That's some garnish. That's garnish? Looks like compost. I don't taste fish. None of it makes any sense to me. There were some great dishes. There were some horrible dishes. We need a moment to discuss who's going to be leaving the MasterChef Canada kitchen. How are we feeling? I think we know who's going to be in the bottom. Right. In this first elimination challenge, there were two standout dishes. The first dish was inventive and gutsy. This dish belongs to... Dale. Congratulations, Dale. Well done. I'm extremely excited. I really have the skills to be here. But there was another dish that was slightly better. The home cook that made it will, like Dale, become a team captain in your first field challenge. That home cook is... Pino. Amazing job, Pino. Thank you very much. I feel fantastic, absolutely fantastic. The judges loved my dish, and it just feels unbelievable. Now, the worst dishes. Dishes that were nowhere near what we expect. Because of these dishes, at least one of you will be going home. The first dish did not respect the delicacy of the smelts. I'm nervous, and I'm sweaty, and I'm about to cry. It's brutal. Please step forward. Danny. I don't want to go home yet. Am I ready to go home? The second disastrous dish was confused and complicated. Please step forward. Megan. I'm super disappointed. I know I'm a better home cook than that. The third disappointing dish did a disservice to a delicate fish. And that dish belonged to... Ben. My stomach just cramps up. My heart sinks. I don't know what to think. Megan, Ben, and Danny. To win this competition, you have to cook as if your life depends upon it, each and every challenge. Ben, it's about organizing your dish in your head and executing it on a high level. Megan, you made a bad call in choosing a quiche. I think it was an ingredient that tripped me up. Danny, you seem to be cooking for yourself, not us. I screwed up. It won't happen again. But I really want to stay. None of the dishes you made today were worthy of this competition. And since this is an elimination challenge, at least one person is going home. Ben and Danny. Megan, Ben. Please take off your apron. You're leaving the MasterChef kitchen. I wish I didn't make that stupid fish cake. There's no sense in being bummed out. I got to showcase myself and my cooking. I was one of the 16 best home cooks in Canada. That's pretty cool.
