Watch to the end to see who wins!
Chapter 1: What is the cooking challenge about?
Today, I'm challenging my three younger brothers to a cooking challenge. The challenge will be made up of three rounds, appetizer, entree, and dessert. But I will have a free pass to the dessert round, leaving my three brothers to fight to see who's worthy to face off against me.
Chapter 2: What are the appetizer round ingredients?
And if one of them is lucky enough to beat me, I will follow the winner around for an entire day and be their personal private chef. Oh, let's go. We'll start with round one, the appetizer round. Gentlemen, open your baskets. For the appetizer round, the baskets contain chewed toro tuna, watermelon, dill, and molasses. You've got 20 minutes on the clock. Your time starts now.
For the appetizer round, I'm going to make some kebab type thing. I'm really hoping I can face off against Nick today and go against him in the finals so he can be my private chef for a day. He's the oldest and I'm the youngest, so I'd love to maybe get back at him after all these years. You're going to have to get through us first, buddy.
I'm going to be making a tuna tartare, and I'm gonna mix that in with a little bit of watermelon cubes as well. I'm actually not loving these ones, so I'm gonna take a couple of these ones.
Chapter 3: What dishes are being prepared in the appetizer round?
And I will be making some tacos. I will be making a tuna watermelon poke bowl. So I'm going to scrape out all the watermelon from the inside, get a little rice, add the tuna, and see if I can add anything else that will elevate my dish. I fractured my wrist. Does it put me at a disadvantage? Yeah. Will I use it as an excuse? No, unless I lose.
So I've never used molasses before, but it feels like something that you would put in a sauce. So I'm adding it to the yogurt, and we're going to try and make a bit of a sauce with some yogurt, dill, and molasses.
I think what I'm gonna do is make an aioli with a little molasses and soy. I'm hoping I can get some of the oaky flavor without too much of the sweet. And then I'll mix that in with a little mayo. 10 minutes left, guys. 10 minutes left. Ah, . Just because I have it here and I don't know how to use it, I might incorporate this into my sauce.
I'm only gonna do a little bit here because I don't want to overpower it. So now I'm going to cut up my tuna. I'm gonna just take off the end here to really make it nice and sharp. And then I'm gonna use one of my nice watermelon cubes as a reference so that they're all the same size. Into my tuna, I go with a little bit of soy, then hit it with some sesame.
I think I'm gonna wait to add the watermelon, however, because I don't want the flavors of the soy corrupting the sweet flavors of that watermelon too soon. You guys have five minutes left. Five minutes left and you're done. Five minutes is not a lot of time, but luckily these only need to hit the pan for about 10 seconds each side. Time for some Pam. Oh, let's listen for a sizzle.
I'm pressing it down to make sure it gets cooked evenly, but unfortunately, unlike Nick, I don't have my heat-proof hands yet. Gonna go for my second flip.
That's hot. Two minutes left. Get the food on the plates. So I know Nick loves ramen, so I'm gonna crush it up and then I'm gonna sprinkle it on top when I'm done. My knife skills are hurting a little bit because of this whole brace thing, but I'm doing my best I can to dice this tuna pretty finely. There's only a few seconds left, so I'm gonna sprinkle over some dill.
I have a nice mix of watermelon and tuna.
Come in with the spring onions. Five, four, three, two, one. Hands up, hands up.

Chapter 4: Who are the judges for the appetizer round?
That's two of your ingredients. Guys, congratulations. The dishes look fantastic. And honestly, I'm surprised you pulled it together in that short amount of time. With that said, I've got a surprise judge for the first round. Mom and dad will be judging this round. Our first dish here is this tuna and watermelon skewer dish.
Which one would be the tuna and which would be the watermelon?
The next dish is this tuna avocado tartare. They've placed a raw egg yolk on the top. I can actually pop it for you guys if you like. The final dish is this watermelon poke bowl, and they unfortunately forgot to add their sauce. So now you've got a decision to make. Are you gonna eliminate dish number one, dish number two, or dish number three?
The first one is quite creative. Go in the middle. I don't know what the powder is on the side. I get a little nervous when I see that raw egg. Third one, I just don't know. They all look pretty good. Unfortunately, it looks like we're gonna need to eliminate number three.
Thanks a lot, Mom and Dad.
Cameron, that was one-handed. That's impressive.
Cameron, please say bye to your competitors. Say bye to Mom and Dad. Pack your things.
It was a pleasure. Well thought. Good luck.

Chapter 5: What happens to the eliminated contestant?
Bye, Mom and Dad. Good luck, guys. Have a good life. Have a good one. Bye, Cam. Will, Pete, congratulations on moving to the next round. One of you will have the opportunity to cook against me to see if I'm your private chef for an entire day. Now, I've got quite the surprise for the entree round. Feel free to reveal the entree round. What the? How did you get that thing here?
This is a live Alaskan king crab that we shipped overnight. If you guys are going to be worthy enough to face off against me, you're going to need to be able to cook a beast like this. For the entree round, I'm putting 20 minutes on the clock starting now. You guys split that crab down the middle and good luck. Let's go.
I got left.
All right, should we break this down together and then go our separate ways? You would like that, every man for himself. These legs are extremely spiky, so I'm just trying to do this carefully so that my hand doesn't end up looking like Cam's. Lid on, looking good. So I've decided that I'm going to make a carbonara.
Chapter 6: What is the surprise for the entree round?
I think what I'm going to do is cook the pasta in the very same water that the crab is in. A, because it's already boiling and I'm pretty tight on time. Also, it's going to get that flavor from the crab right into the pasta. For my dish, I'm gonna do a king crab fried rice.
I've never worked with king crab before, and I'm not too familiar with fried rice, but stick to the basics, but keep it refined. When I win, I used to make waffles every morning for everyone, and Nick would never eat mine, so I think we'll have him make me a nice gourmet waffle breakfast. That's a lot of confidence I'm hearing out of Will. Roast him in the comments, put him back in his place.
Chapter 7: How do the contestants plan to use the crab?
I'm gonna slice up this bacon, which is gonna add some really nice grease and flavor into my final dish. I'm starting with some leftover rice. I think we ordered Indian last night, so there's a bunch of orange spots in there, but that's all right. It goes with the color of the red crab. Is either of you guys paying any attention at all to the crab? Is it done? I don't know.
Because getting a live crab like this is so rare and expensive, I'm gonna help them out and see if it's done. Take a little bite of that. I need to get all this crab out of here because my pasta depends on it. I'm gonna steal the two claws because I'm gonna need these later. Well, if you got the claws, I'm getting the head. You guys have 10 minutes left. You better hurry up. Oh, geez.
My fried rice is looking pretty good. Rather fried, if you will. I'm just gonna toss in some butter just to give it a little bit of extra flavor and creaminess. Always taste your food. Oh yeah. My pasta's in. I'm gonna start getting together the sauce. It'll be that beautiful creamy base of my carbonara. With so much stuff going on, it's easy to let things get ahead of you in the kitchen here.
I'm gonna get this dancing in the pan, lower the heat a bit, so I definitely don't wanna overdo it. You have five minutes left. If your hands aren't up and your plates aren't done in five minutes, I'm going to disqualify you. I really hope this pasta's done in time. I think that I'm going to take this head off here, dry it out, and use it to plate my fried rice in.
I'm opening up this leg here, dice this part up, and it's gonna go right in my rice. I'm making Uncle Roger proud, and I'm gonna make it rain MSG. I'm gonna grab my fried rice here and start layering it in. You know, Uncle Roger doesn't like to put peas and carrots and corn in his fried rice, but the rest look pretty good to me. It's actually pretty flavorful.
We'll have to see what the judge thinks. It's time to pull the pasta. I really don't have much left here. I'm gonna go straight with that pasta into my pan over here, which is now pretty much not on heat and go right in with that carbonara mixture that I've made and some pasta water that I reserved. I'm gonna add it slowly in and whisk until I get that exact creamy consistency that I'm looking for.
Pete, 30 seconds left, get it on the plate. I'm just chopping up my chives here and I'll throw them on top. Five, four, three, two, one. Hands up, you're done. I really wish I had a few more seconds there, but I'm happy that we got that all done in time. It's like a good carbonara though. Not bad yourself. Pete, Will, the dishes look fantastic. So it's time to bring in our next judge.
Good to see you guys again.
How we doing? Welcome, bro. Love you. Is this new? Oh, how the turntables.
