Hell's Kitchen Season 11 Episode 16 6 Chefs Compete

Six chefs remain in the competition as they enter the kitchen for another intense challenge on Hell's Kitchen Season 11 Episode 16. As the pressure continues to rise, Chef Gordon Ramsay pushes the remaining contestants to the limit and tests their culinary skills.

The episode begins with the 6 chefs splitting into two teams for a team challenge, where they must prepare a meal for a group of 40 military veterans. The teams must create a three-course meal with an appetizer, entree, and dessert. The veterans will act as the judges, and the winning team will receive a day on a yacht while the losing team must clean the kitchen and dining area.

As the veterans arrive, tensions run high as both teams quickly get to work. The Red team, led by Chef Mary, is preparing baked salmon with a fennel and orange salad and a chocolate cake for dessert. The Blue team, led by Chef Jon, is creating a menu that features a pan-seared duck breast with a medley of roasted vegetables, as well as an apple tart.

Both teams struggle to keep up with the orders, and the pressure is visible even among the veterans, who are anxiously waiting for their meals. As the chefs race to complete their dishes, Chef Ramsay takes note of each team's progress and offers advice and critiques along the way.

After a hectic service, the veterans finally get to taste each team's dishes. The Red Team's salmon dish is praised for its perfect flavoring and texture, but the veterans note that the chocolate cake is a bit dry. The Blue Team's duck breast is cooked perfectly, but the apple tart is overcooked and lacks flavor. After deliberation, the veterans declare the Red team as the winners of the challenge, and they celebrate their victory with a day out on a yacht.

The Blue Team heads back to the kitchen to clean, and Chef Ramsay continues to test their culinary prowess with a new challenge. Each chef must create a dish using a live crab as the main ingredient. The chefs are given 15 minutes to choose their ingredients and 45 minutes to complete their dishes.

As the clock ticks down, the chefs face multiple challenges during this difficult cook. One chef struggles with the cooking of the crab, while another runs out of time and fails to complete their dish. Chef Ramsay tastes each dish, offering praise for some and harsh criticism for others. Ultimately, one chef's crab dish falls flat, and they are sent home.

As the episode comes to a close, the remaining contestants head back to the dorms, still feeling the pressure of the intense challenges they've faced. With only five chefs left in the competition, the stakes are higher than ever, and each chef knows that one mistake can send them home for good.
