Private Notes
The chefs arrive in Las Vegas to start their six-week, grueling job interview for the title of Head Chef at the Flamingo Resort and Casino. First, the contestants are challenged to show their culinary point of view using an ingredient beloved by high rollers and vacationers alike. Then, the big test goes down at Bally's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino where they take over BLT Steak for an evening. Some chefs come up aces with inspired dishes, but one chef is the first to go bust.
Chef Anne Burrell pushes the seven remaining chefs to the limit with a challenge to create a dish using the nopal cactus. Then, the candidates have to create Mexican dishes worthy of dinner service at Guy Fieri's El Burro Borracho at the Rio Las Vegas All-Suite Hotel and Casino. Leadership and quick thinking become critical when organization and communication fall apart.
Since everything is bigger and better in Las Vegas, Chef Anne Burrell gets the chefs cooking with a larger-than-life ingredient. Then, dinner service takes place at the world-renowned Mr. Chow at Caesars Palace. The remaining six candidates must not only master authentic Chinese cuisine, they must add a theatrical element to their presentation.
Tensions rise when the five remaining chefs fail to impress Chef Anne Burrell on the first test. The only path for redemption is to kill it at Giada De Laurentiis' restaurant, Giada, at The Cromwell Hotel and Casino. But when the blaming begins after a struggle with brunch service, the candidates get schooled on job interview decorum.
The four remaining chefs try to redeem themselves in the eyes of Chef Anne Burrell. Dinner service at the three-Michelin-star restaurant Guy Savoy will require the most precise and inspired performance of their lives. At this level of fine dining, there is no room for mistakes.
Three chefs remain, but one job interview will end after the first test and only the final two will meet the Caesars Executives in the Caesars Board Room to make their case.
