    Assistants bring out a huge block of ice for Chef Dawson. Dawson uses two knives to make rapid strikes, sculpting Mount Fuji right before the audience. Steven Gordon and the gathered onlookers watch the fast display in total awe.

    Leon approaches his cutting board and covers his fish with a plain white cloth. He slides his knife underneath the fabric and cuts blindly. William, the food critics, and surrounding diners laugh and call the move clumsy and amateurish.

    The kitchen crew grows anxious as Leon keeps slicing with his hands covered under the cloth. Bryant loses his temper and confronts Hank Anderson. He argues that Leon is embarrassing the restaurant and insists Hank send him out instead.

Key Lines from Episode 9

“He's doing the King of Cooking's double blade icicle slice.”

Steven Gordon · Steven Gordon observes Chef Dawson carving the ice block with two knives during the contest.

“I wonder who's gonna win. A seven-star chef carving Mt. Fuji out of ice, or a guy who needs to bring an extra towel just to hold his fish down?”

William · William mocks Leon when Leon places a white cloth over his fish to cut it.

“Chef, this rookie's doing a sad magic trick under a wet rag while Chef Dawson is giving him a seven-star ass-whooping. It should be me out there!”

Bryant · Bryant complains to Chef Anderson after watching Leon slice fish blind beneath a towel.

How Episode 9 Ends
