The Chinese-Mexican one was such a good opportunity. I imagine tacos with Szechuan style beef would be amazing. Or any meat with five spice. The possibilities were endless.
"No one's done mexican and indian before"?? You could put 90 different types of curry in a tortilla with some pico and it would slap. Fried chickpeas covered in elote, naan birria tacos, queso fresco paneer. Mexican and indian fusion writes itself!

Jillian did a great job. It's always fantastic when the underdog comes out on top, especially against snooty "professionally trained" chefs. Her food speaks for itself. It aint no bitch.
7:00 it’s crazy how much doubt she had but bc she tried her best, it came out well. May not always be the case but it’s nice to see the underdog take the win over the sarcastic, entitled “chef” behind her

Humility is so important, you could see that with the first fusion challenge. Everyone who was so sure and like, yeah easy my dish will be awesome, sucked. Juliette who thought she would suck did have the best dish in the end. Because she tried the hardest because it was something new for her and she didn't just take it easy. Awesome job 👏

I always roll my eyes whenever someone says they only eat "American food"... or like my dad "Only eat Australian food"... Chances are VERY high that something you eat originated with another cuisine. French fries (Belguim), Pizza (italy), Mac and cheese (Pasta - Italy)... Bacon and Eggs on Toast (England), etc.
It's kind of funny in Season 5 that Giovanni failed to cook rice properly on both his Signature Dish and the Fusion Food Challenge. I could imagine Clients tasting his Italian Risottos. Also Paulie bad mouthing Ryan at the beginning just to hug her afterwards, what a snake lol.
After watching the spin the wheel bit I can see why Gordon wanted to get into game show hosting. Plus wheres the British option? Black pudding inside a Yorkshire on a bed of rice topped with wasabi and gravy.
Bro Mexican and Indian food has so many types that match the taste profiles. Idk why it was viewed as a weird combo. Mexican and Indian combo made the most sense to me tbh
Mexican and Indisn cuisine are so alike that, that sould have been the easiest of them all, and seeing Paulie fail tolds me more about his culinary skills
nah I'm Indian and I've made plenty of fusion Indian and Mexican dishes. it's absolute fire. Indian and Mexican have a lot of similarities, naan/paratha to tortilla, salsa to chutney, beans to beans, and a lot of spice blends are similar too. I really don't get why they thought that was an odd combo.
Jillian is so sweet. I’m so happy she did so well even though she doubted herself.

The Chinese-Mexican one was such a good opportunity. I imagine tacos with Szechuan style beef would be amazing. Or any meat with five spice. The possibilities were endless.
Burritos with Hot Pot style filling? ICONIC
Yeah, I thought about Mala tacos. Perhaps Mapo Tofu or some Mala lamb stirfry in a corn tortilla. That would be amazing.
Now I'm hungry...
We have a Chinese-Mexican fusion restaurant near my work and it’s absolutely incredible.

Same here! If anything, these two cuisines appeared the most parallel to each other. They have many flavour profiles which complement each other.
Which is exactly why it's a bad match. Use your brain. It's like having to paint a picture only out of light blue and medium blue.
Red kidney beans, rice, curd/sour cream, chickpeas, paprika, bell peppers, cumin…the possibilities are endless
Or use naan bread in place of tortillas

I wonder if Russell also added those judges to his blacklist?

Just shows they're uncultured
Who decided to call them French fries when they’re from Belgium
Mac and cheese is actually considered American considering it was served to Thomas Jefferson by one of his slaves and gained popularity from there
Seeing Trev now and in the new season and makes me think what happened to him? He seemed so passionate back then
Life happened
@dragastarr2926 True, but many fans of HK expected returning chefs to improve, so does Chef Ramsay. In season 18, Trev kept making simple mistakes.
He is now a mail carrier.
jillian shitting bricks the entire time
i cant imagine how reliefed she must have been lol
Say what you want about him, but I love Trev. He's so weirdly funny and fun to watch to me.
I do too. He is really funny.
i find him lowkey cute lmaoo
Trev definitely grew on me more than any contestant
Latin and Chinese fuses well. There are a lot of Chinese/Latin fusion restaurants in the Americas.
im so glad Russell lost during that season
Are yall not gonna talk about how the same guy that was bad talking and saying bad stuff about Ryan hugged her at the end.
It's kind of funny in Season 5 that Giovanni failed to cook rice properly on both his Signature Dish and the Fusion Food Challenge. I could imagine Clients tasting his Italian Risottos.
Also Paulie bad mouthing Ryan at the beginning just to hug her afterwards, what a snake lol.
"Hey I'll buy you a bus pass!" 😅😂
This guy is quite a charmer.
Before watching, guess how many times Gordon is going to make the same "It's a fusion challenge, not a con-fusion challenge!" joke.
Give me 100 bucks to shop with now, and I can maybe grab a dozen eggs, some ground beef, and a cucumber.
nah i reckon you can just about squeeze to half a cucumber
Considering there’s a French-Japanese Michelin restaurant in Tokyo by Alain Ducasse…. There’s plenty of ways to merge the two
Omg Chinese fried rice without eggs. Uncle Roger has put down his leg
Any other season Russell would not be a black jacket
Jillian is just hilarious 🤣
… how the hell is marmalade Indian? Like French-Indian fusion is a literal cuisine! Just look up Pondicherry!
It's usually the ones who aren't sure of themselves that win because they go on instinct instead of over confidence.
