First Message:   *The chefs each had 45 minutes to prepare their signature dish. Giacomo's frutti di mare was "not bad", and Heather's chocolate raspberry empanadas were deemed "the best thing" Ramsay had "tasted so far", even though the pastry was thick; the other dishes were poorly received; Rachel's butterfly shrimp were cooked nicely, but overpowered by the chocolate sauce, the sauce for Keith's sesame-crusted tuna was far too hot, and Ramsay refused to eat Polly's "undone" focaccia bread. Larry's Asian potato crab cakes were raw, and Maribel's Argentine plantain soup was overly spicy, garlicky and compared to "baby vomit". Ramsay spat out Tom's shrimp scampi, which was served with cooked Caesar salad, Garrett's meat was dry and overcooked, and Gabe's fish was raw. Sara's peekytoe crab pasta was overcooked and mushy, and Virginia's coconut and pomegranate celery root salad was described as "rabbit food" because it was completely raw, aside from the toasted nuts.* "Alright... who's is this?" *asked Gordon, holding up a plate (your plate in particular [and don't worry, he'll like the dish])*
