01x15 - Tryin' Chef

[bunniefuu]

Oh, hi.
I'm Ruff Ruffman.

And I'm under orders
to make the next show

as exciting as possible.

That's why I bought
one of these--

a laser light show fog machine.

Oh! Yikes! I must have set
the laser strength too high.

Phew.

Maybe we'll just stick
to the fog function.

Oh, that's better.

FEMALE VOICE:
Ruffy...! Ruffikins...

where are you?

Ooh! Ah!
[ clears throat]

Oh, that's my, uh... person.

Yeah. She went to the fanciest
restaurant in town today

and promised to bring me back
a doggie bag. Excuse me.

Uh, woof!
Woof, woof.

Yeah. Okay.

Come to papa.

A half-eaten dinner roll?

No, no, no, no, no.
Let's get to the good stuff.

That was it?!

Oh, that's not fair.

I've never gotten
a good doggie bag.

Well, the next episode of FETCH!
will change that

or my name isn't...
hey, hey!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's, uh, getting a little foggy
in here, people.

Hey, where's the off button?
I can't see...

Anyone? Murray?!

Funding for Fetch with Ruff
Ruffman has been provided by

The National Science Foundation

where discovers begin

Dedicated to strengthening
America's future

through education.

And here come
the contestants now.

Did he know that calamari
was Italian for "squid"?

He ate it anyway.

He tried hot peppers
and wished he hadn't.

Hearts of palm-- exotic,
mysterious and devoured by...

She has consumed an octopus.

It's fun to say and fun to eat--

hummus, according to...

Don't even think of serving him
stir fry without the chicken.

Let's get an update
on the scores.

Taylor in sixth place
with points.

Julia in fifth with .

We now have four Fetchers
over the , -point mark.

Brian in fourth with , .

Noah in third with , .

Khalil in second with , .

And Anna in the lead with , .

Hello, and welcome to FETCH!,

the new reality game show

where high-stakes action
adventure is spelled...

[ kids laughing]

Don't worry,Since when?

all other words are spelled

the way they're
supposed to be spelled.

We're all good.
Okay.

Exotic foods.

That's what I want you guys
to think about

because that has to do
with today's challenge.

Ooh.
Sweet.

Today, four of you will be
wearing toques on your head

the whole day.

What's toques?What is a toque?

Don't know what a toque is?

I've heard it, but I
don't know what it is.

Oh, toque is
a very special kind of hat.

As a matter of fact, Brian,
Julia, Taylor, Khalil,

if you'll look to your left
in the red wagon, you'll see

your toques and your outfits.

Yeah, that's right,
you're going to be

chefs for the day.

They should all fit.
Now listen to me closely.

You have to bring me back
a doggie bag.

We will.
Okay, Ruff.We promise.

Now, you four, the details
of your assignment

are in the mailbox.

Let's get out of here.See ya later.
Bye, guys.

Doggie bag, no bagels!

Now, as determined
by the FETCH ,

Anna and Noah have stayed behind
in the studio this week.

But they'll be eligible
to win points during the...

You guys have the...

All the contestants
will have competed

for the same number of points

by the time the grand prize
is awarded.

Which, uh, you know...

You still
haven't told us.

Whatever that happens to be.

I've still got some time.

But for the four kids
out on the challenges,

up to points are at stake
in the Triumph Tally.

So let's catch up with
the food prep foursome now.

Hey.
Hi, guys, welcome.

How are you?
I'm Jody.

Khalil, Brian, I'm Gabriel.
Nice to meet you. Welcome.

Ruff told us a lot about you
guys-- glad to have you here.

Julia and Khalil,
you can come with me, let's go.

And you guys are staying.

Welcome to our kitchen.
We are the yellow team.

And as such, Ruff has asked me
to give you guys

each a yellow apron.

The first thing you need
to do is put on an apron.

We've got two here.Call the one with
the blue stripes.

The plan today is this--
I'm going to give you guys

three different challenges.

After each challenge,

each of you will be
able to earn points.

One person will earn points
by winning the challenge...

The other person
can gain points...

...by trying a new...

...unusual...
...exciting...

...secret......and interesting dish.

First challenge that I have
for you guys today

is going to be
to grate parmesan.

RUFF:
The parmesan grating contest.

But we're going to use
a special tool

called a microplane.

Only thing you need to do
is run it back and forth

as quickly as possible.

What do you guys think?
You ready to go?
Yeah.
Yeah.

[ whistle blows]Start grating.

Go! Grate, grate, grate,
grate, come on, guys!

Go, go, go!

Looks like Khalil is really
building a mountain o'cheese,

but Julia is still
in the lead.
Five,

four, three, two...

one.
Put down your grater.

You can each fill up as many
containers as you can

with your own cheese.

Julia with one full container
and a little.

Khalil...

we'll call it
one full container.

[ bell dings] Nicely done, Julia.

Now Khalil has the option
to win some points

by trying some...

Liver pizza.
Here we go.

Liver pizza!

Oh, there is a heaven.

Ooh, it looks so good!

JULIA:
Is it good?

[ bell dings]

The liver's good?Mm-hmm.

The challenge: who can peel
all of the garlic the fastest.

The garlic peeling contest.

JODY:
You want them to look like this.

Ready... set...

Go.

Here they go.

They're peeling the skin
off the garlic.

When your hands are covered with
garlic and they smell terrible,

take something metal and rub
your hands with the metal

and it will take the garlic off.

Taylor's just
dusting through it.

Look at all the garlic
she has peeled.

Yes! I'm done, whoo!

Taylor wins.[ bell dings]

Okay, here is Brian's chance
for points.

Pork belly.

Do you know what they make
pork belly with? Bacon.

Oh, I love bacon.

This has now become pulled pork.

Okay, I'm not a big fan
of the cole slaw,

but the pulled pork... delish!

Like pork belly, Bri?

[ bell dings]

All right, second challenge,
here we go.

We are going to shuck some peas.

That is your finished product.

The pea shuck contest.

There are pods here
for each of you.

So we'll imagine maybe
eight to ten peas in a pod.

Here is the basil.
This is your next challenge.

And the challenge
is to chop it.

The basil chop contest.

You know what
they're called?

Uh-uh.
Mezzaluna.

Lunameans "moon"
and mezzameans "half."

So it's a half moon.
I get it.

I want them to be
about that big.

On the count of three.
One...

two, three.

Go.
And they're off.

The pea shucking,
the basil chopping.

I'm trying to put more than one
on top of each other.

It all looks green--
I don't know what to look at.

I'm just getting so hungry.

Who will win?!
Who will win?!

And a double victory
for the ladies.

Very well done.

For his points, Khalil
has to eat fava beans.

Three fava beans.

Big mouthful
will do.

Tasty? Yes? No? Maybe?

[ bell dings] Most "I don't like the food"
face today.

Khalil has definitely
moved into the lead

in that department.

All righty, let's see what
Brian has to taste for points.

Spinach.

[ somber chorus sings]

Do you like spinach?

No.

So, spinach with cheese
inside pizza dough.

Know what
it's called?Oh, baby.

Oh, what is it called?
Um...

Casserole?

Close.
Calzone.

[ bell dings]

This is great.

I love
trying new things.

This is so awesome.

You know what I'm realizing
by watching all this?

I order way too much Chinese.

I think I need to expand
my takeout menu.

Maybe a little Italian.

Or I could learn how to cook.

The final challenge
involves making gnocchi.

Ah, yes.
Knocking out the gnocchi.

Okay, you're rolling pasta.

Making of the perfect pasta.

I'm going to demonstrate.

When making gnocchi,
the first thing
you have to do

is start by
flouring our hands,

and put a little flour
down on the table there.

It's just a little bit
of a complicated process.

Ah! So cool!

Go ahead and catch that--
that's fettuccini.

So what they are...

They're really a dumpling.

Made, in this case,
of potato and flour.

And the goal of the competition

will be to see
who can first roll out

perfect gnocchi.

That's a lot of gnocchi.

It's not rolling right.

Khalil seems to be having
a roll issue.

She's winning!I'm in no rush.

They cut off a piece,
and then they roll it up.

And then they're going
to cut it

in even smaller pieces.

Stop. Put down
the scrapers.

Khalil rolled
beautiful gnocchi.

Julia rolled .

Oh, Khalil.

Cue the sad music.

That is a coxcomb. A what?

Coxcomb is the nice name
for the top of the rooster.

Oh! Oh!

They scalped him!

Imagine if you were
standing over there...

Oh, don't show it like that!
Oh, goodness!

We are preparing
to make stir fry.

Ugh! Ugh! Okay, let's try it.

Oh, my goodness.

Mmm. Really chewy.

It's good.

I think he likes it!

You're better at eating,
and I'm better at cooking.

Go.

Okay, back
to the pasta-making challenge.

Uh-oh! Oops! Handle came off.

Brian, handle.

There you go.

Brian is now in a fistfight
with the pasta roller.

I don't think
he's going to win that one.

Hey, Brian, your taste test
can't be as bad as Khalil's.

Uh...! Oh!

Look at this fabulous animal.

Ew!

Do you know what it is?

It's a skate.It's a skate!

It's still got eyes!

I don't want to eat something
that's looking at me.

Thank you. Okay, the coxcomb
has officially been topped.

I will eat top of rooster head
any day of the week.

Can you see
the difference
in the color?

Yeah.
It's camouflage, right?

They're light-colored
on the bottom

and dark-colored
on the top

because if there's a predator

that wants to eat them
on the bottom

and they're looking up
and it's white,

it looks like the sky,
just like the sky.

And, if you're looking at it
from the top,

it looks like the sand
on the bottom.

Yeah, yeah.
I'd like to see the predator

that would want to eat that.

I should give you
a billion points

for even going near that thing.

What do you think?

It's not that bad.

Really?

And we're back here in Studio G

with Anna and Noah.

We're going to start

with the Half-Time
Quiz Show.

I'm going
to ask you ten questions.

Each question
is worth five points,

for a possible total
of points.

Let us begin now!

Paring Kn*fe.

It's a...

Because, if people look at it
from the bottom,

it looks like the sky.

When you look at it from the
top, it looks like the ground.

So what is it for?

Cool.

It looks like a pita pocket.

It's a casserole...

Got to move on.

Correct! And we're done.

Let's see how you did.

According to the FETCH ,

you answered seven
out of ten correctly,

which gives you a total
of points. Nice job.

Let's go over the ones
you didn't get.

Oh, my gosh.

And question five is right
on the tail of that.

I wouldn't
have gotten that.

A calzone.

Oh, but hey!
points is very good.

And that is the end
of our Half-Time Trivia Quiz,

so let's return
to our Kitchen Challenge.

Our three special
celebrity guest stars

should be arriving
right about now.

Or they would be
if I remembered to get

three celebrity guest stars.

Why do I always do this?

That's what that was for.

A little string on the tail.

Supposed to remind me.

And the Post-it, yeah.

That... that, too.
Wait. What's on this tape?

RUFF:
Hey, you gorgeous dog!

Don't forget to find
celebrity guest stars

for the next episode.

All right, think fast,
think fast, think, think, think.

Okay, uh... uh...
Noah, Anna...

You guys are not going to be
able to relax

in the studio
for the rest of the day.

I need you to run over
to the battle kitchen.

You want us to?Us?

Who am I supposed to get?

I need your help.

We're going to have to get you
something snazzy to wear.

The T-shirt?
That's just not going to work.

Go fetch!

Okay.

Okay, that's two,
but I need a third guest.

Wait a minute.

Oh, yes.
That is just too perfect!

Good job, FETCH .

Just make a little phone call.

Okay, cue the smoke machine.

And now, the Amazing Cook Off!

Introducing Team Blue!

Taylor!

Her teammate is none other
than Brian!

And now for our celebrity chef
advisor... Jody Adams!

Jody will lead Team Blue
into battle against...

Team Yellow!

Khalil and Julia
will be working

with their
celebrity chef advisor...

Gabriel Fresca!

Our challenge
is about to begin.

This is what
I call the battle kitchen.

Okay, Fetchers,
you have one half-hour

to cook an amazing dish
for a mystery panel of judges

using these ingredients
laid out in front of you.

When you hear
this squeaky toy squeak,

the cook-off shall begin.

One, two...

[ squeak]

Grab the gnocchi
and throw them in the freezer.

Should we get
some of these onions?

You guys like corn?

I do like corn. Yes.

So, Julia, Khalil,
what have you got today?

Gnocchi.
We are preparing gnocchi.

Julia and Khalil have decided
to make gnocchi with...

Delish!

I think we
should make,

like,
lemon shrimp.

With some nice chicken.

Get the plate of pasta.

Would you like fettuccine
or angel hair?

I think angel hair.

So, garlic and lemon, right?

Garlic and lemon
sautéed.

We are planning on making
a sautéed shrimp pasta

with chicken,
and the shrimp is going to be...

garlic lemon.

It's going to be delicious.

Okay, so Taylor and Brian
are making garlic shrimp

with angel hair pasta
and chicken.

minutes!

I'm pretty good.
I've been doing it for years.

I can do it
with my eyes closed.

I can do it with my feet.

Wait a minute. Chopping
up garlic with your feet?

No. That's got to stop.

Ten minutes.

Oh! Oh! There had better
be some leftovers.

Listen to that sizzle!

Oh! That is the sizzle
of yummy.

So, do you need
my help? All set?

KHALIL:
Do we add the Parmesan cheese
before or after?

JULIA:
After.

In go the peas.

Five minutes.

JODY:
Cheese... are you
putting cheese on here?

I think you should put
cheese on everything.

GABRIEL:
Corn sounds good.

Butter?
Perfect.

Is that enough
spinach for you?

GABRIEL:
A little pinch
of onion.

Now Team Yellow
adds the tomatoes.

Back to Team Blue.

Placing the angel-hair pasta
on the plate.

Almost... and Brian using
his hand

to put the pasta
back on the plate.

GABRIEL:
And we need someone to go
grab us some gnocchi.

JULIA and KHALIL:
Okay, I'll get the gnocchi.

One person.
Come on, team.

You're on stirring.

Khalil and Julia are having
some communication errors.

They both want to do everything
at the same time.

Watching the way that Taylor
and Brian work--

they consult with each other
before every decision.

GABRIEL:
And we need bowls.
Where's the pasta going to go?

Team Yellow doesn't have
bowls for their pasta.

Look around. Kitchen...

One minute.

There's so much food, I don't
know what's being cooked.

JODY:
That's beautiful.

Can I... Should I cut up like
some cucumber and this stuff?

Ten seconds!

GABRIEL:
One of you
has to plate.

JODY:
That is gorgeous.We're done!

All right, contestants,
time is up.

Three judges will be
sampling the food

and determining the winner
based on taste

and presentation.

And I must say, they're looking

mighty presentable themselves.

From that fabulous show
FETCH! with Ruff Ruffman

come our celebrity judges, Noah
and Anna.

And for our final guest star,

her standards are high...

I'd really like some bacon.

She is completely unbiased.

She's Brian's younger sister,
Laurel.

How you doing
today, Ruff?

Laurel, welcome back
to the show.

You're looking well.
Nice to see you.

Okay, have a seat.

Okay, Team Blue is now
presenting their dish

to the judges.

Okay, guys, we have pasta
mixed with some spinach.

And then we have shrimp

with some garlic
and some lemon juice.

Garlic is delicious.

And nice arm gesture.

Let's go to Judge Noah.

You will be
our first judge to try.

So this is big for Team Blue.

Tastes really good.

Yes!

Yes, Team Blue, yes!

Shrimp is good.

Now for Anna.

I see a little wilt right here.

Wilts?Wilt, just a little.

Aw, come on,
it's angel-hair.

If you ask me...

I think it's pretty good.

Pretty good, pretty good,
pretty good.

Laurel is a big-time
chicken buff.

That's all she orders
is chicken.

At a seafood restaurant,

she forces them to go out
and get chicken.

That is some good chicken. She likes it!

And now Team Yellow.

All right, Khalil,
what do we have

for our esteemed judges?

We have some...
a gnocchi dish.

Laurel takes a huge,
rhinoceros-size bite.

Like it, like it, like it,
please like it.

I don't know. I mean...

What's the problem here,
Laurel?

Do we have a taste issue?

LAUREL:
It was all kind
of slippery...

Okay, the texture's a little
slippery and slimy.

I'm very sorry.

Yeah, my taste buds
were not happy. I'm sorry.

Anna's carefully
taking a bite.

I think it's pretty good.

All right, Anna likes it.

All right, Noah is
taking his first bite.

He's smiling.

His head is bopping.

It's not that bad, actually.

All right, the judges are
making their final decisions

and entering those decisions
into the FETCH s.

Those FETCH s are linked up
to the FETCH ,

which will computate
the final scores.

All right, chefs, it's time
to clear the table,

and when you're clearing
that table

make sure you put
some leftovers

in a doggy bag for me, please.

We'll bring you a doggy bag.

Okay, we're back in Studio G
with Ruff Ruffman.

Kind of lonely here,
and I'm kind of hungry.

So with that, we bring back
our master chefs.

Brian, Taylor, Julia, Khalil.

Welcome back.

Now let's bring back our judges.

Anna and Noah.

So, who has a doggy bag for me?

I have a doggy bag.

Oh, bring it forward

and gimme, gimme.

Oh, I'm salivating.

Coming to you, Ruff.

I got it!

It looks so tasty.

It smells so good...TAYLOR:
Hey, Ruff, Ruff,

I think we need some points
before you start eating.

What, what, what?

Oh, yes, of course, of course.
I'm sorry.

All right, point time.

Julia, for grating, shucking and
rolling your way to victory,

points.

And Khalil... now,
you didn't b*at Julia,

but you did try some
really unusual food.

So for courage in the face
of liver pizza,

fava beans

and rooster-headed
cockscomb-- points.

Taylor...

you peeled, you chopped,

you noodled your way
to points.

Great job.

And Brian...

you wrestled
with the pasta machine

while Taylor made it look easy.

But you did try
pulled pork,

which I thought looked
mighty tasty.

And you ate the spinach calzone.

But taking a bite
of that skate,

oh, that, my man, is going
to earn you points.

We are in a dead heat tie.

points apiece.♪ Dun-dun-dun.

Now let's give some points

for the amazing cook-off.

Here's how it worked
with the judges.

Each judge can award
points to one team.

It's been sent in
to the FETCH ,

who is computing
the scores right now.

I have the results
of judge number one.

points will go to...

Brian and Taylor!

Now, if judge number two chooses
Brian and Taylor,

then we know who wins.

So, Julia and Khalil,
keep your fingers crossed.

Let's see if they liked you.

They sure did!

Khalil and Julia, points!

We are knotted
at points apiece.

That means the third judge
will determine our winner.

FETCH , let's have
those results.

Thank you, FETCH .

You're looking good today.

Oh, my sweet biscuits!

It's Brian and Taylor!

points for you two.

You have won
the amazing cook-off.

But a great job
by everyone.

Now then, we've given out

the challenge points,

but is that all the points
a dog can give?

ALL:
No.

What time is it?

ALL:
Bonus points.

Our first bonus point
goes to the person

who ate some skate.

Who didn't have to eat it,
but ate it anyway.

Taylor! That's right.

Ten points for you.

I also have an additional
five bonus points

for our judges.

Anna and Noah, for bailing
me out today,

you each get five points.

So that means that today's
daily winner is...

Taylor!

Now, Taylor,

your prize normally would
await you in the mailbox,

but it's a h-h-hugeprize today.

And it's an edible prize.

But is it something tasty
or something...

not so much?

It's your decision, Taylor.

I know how much trouble
Brian had

eating all those
different foods, so I think

I'm going to take
it for myself.

All right,

Brian, I need your help.Okay.

I'd like you to stand
behind Taylor

and cover her eyes. No peeking.

Khalil and Julia,
if you would please rise.

Go and retrieve
Taylor's prize.

Oh, it's Chinese food!Nice, huh?

Yes, a poo-poo platter!

One of the worst names in
the history of food naming.

Another episode of FETCH!
with Ruff Ruffman

has come to an end.

It was a delicious one.

Until next time, we'll see ya.Bye, Ruff.

And now I can eat my food
finally.

Bye.

Ooh, I can't wait to finally
tuck into this doggy bag.

[ hotline barking]

Oh, it's the Henry hotline.

Yes, sir.

You loved the show.
That is great.

Well, sir, really, I mean,
you know,

it was a brilliant concept
after all, and...

[ screaming]

[ sobbing]:
No!

I'm hungry!

Okay, one last thing.

Not only do I host my own
television show

But I have a
fantastic website too.

Check it out. There are tons of
great games, and lots more.

It makes my tail wag
every time I think about it.
