- She said it's tasteless.
- Who said it was tasteless?
- Savannah said it's tasteless.
- The chicken was?
(peppy instrumental music)
- Hi, I'm Lindsay.
- And I'm Savannah.
- And today we're gonna be trying meals from single guys
and then picking a date based off them.
Hope we don't get food poisoning.
- Yeah, bring it on.
Let's go.
(laughter)
- I'm Q.
- I'm Ify.
- I'm Blake.
- We're single guys.
We made some food for some single ladies.
They're gonna pick which meal they like best
and they're gonna choose who they wanna
go on a date on afterwards.
I think I'm gonna win.
- Yeah, I'm pretty confident.
I cook a lot.
I cook all the time.
- When I chef, I chef.
You know what I mean?
It's not just like no play play.
I'm gonna do my thing.
- I don't think either one of y'all stand a chance.
- Let's get to it.
- Alright, meal one.
- I'm ready.
- Wow us.
- Let's go.
(laugher)
- [Ify] We got the cauliflower risotto right there.
It's poppin'.
Looking real delicious.
Got that baked salmon fresh caught today.
Boom, the asparagus to make a complete, delicious meal.
- We got asparagus, we got some salmon,
we got some other thing, I don't know what it is.
- Some rice, maybe?
- But it looks seasoned well.
- That was cauliflower broccoli risotto.
- It look like a hash brown.
- I mean, it look delicious.
- I'm excited about this.
I love salmon.
- Ooh, boom, boom.
Me and the gang.
- What are you gonna get in first?
- I'm trying these, well,
we'll do the salmon at the same time.
- Okay.
- It's a little tough.
- Said it was tough.
- I mean, bite into it.
It's juicy.
- Mmm, that's actually really good.
- It's not bad.
- Ooh, okay, not bad.
It was great.
- I'm not a salmon connoisseur, but it didn't taste bad,
so that's a good sign.
- Yeah, yeah.
What can I say?
- Okay.
- This asparagus is really good.
I love asparagus.
- I think they're buttery.
- Put butter in there?
- Of course I did.
- This dude, oh, we're so gonna beat him.
He's like, you put butter?
(laughter)
- Okay, so what's this thing?
- [Savannah] I think it's rice pilaf.
- Ooh!
- [Savannah] Is it good?
- Mm-hmm.
- Ooh, hoo!
- This is solid.
- The whole plate is really good, though.
- I do value the presentation.
- The whole plating's really good?
Oh my gosh.
- Calm down.
- I'm an artist and chef.
- You went first, calm down.
- Good diversity of colors.
- Boom, diverse.
- Diversity is good.
- This plate also makes me think that
maybe the guy behind the dish is athletic.
- Haha!
They knew, they knew.
- There's a lot of effort that went into this.
- Maybe this is the guy for you.
- Oh, yeah.
- Damn, I should've put some greens on my plate.
(laughter)
- We haven't seen the rest.
- Right.
So, by default, he can be the top.
- Not yet, but, didn't make us sick, it's cute.
- Tastes good.
- Creativity.
It's pretty good.
I mean, it's up there, so next one really is gotta wow us.
- Oh, my gosh, lovin' it.
I love to hear this, look.
I mean, sure, sex is nice,
but have you ever had anyone tell you your cooking's good?
- Savannah is really digging this, but Lindsay,
she seems to be a little iffy.
- He said he had a joke before we got in there.
- Yeah, he's up at night with a pen.
- Alright, second dish.
- This is you.
- I don't think there's any way
I'm gonna be able to cook tonight at 12 a.m.,
still wake up at 8 a.m. to do my shoot,
and still, like, make something worthwhile.
So, it's time to go to plan B.
I just got a second, I got a break.
I'm gonna go try to run
and grab some food for this challenge.
I feel so devious, but I gotta win.
I wanna win.
You think I'm gonna win, bro?
I'm doing this as a challenge to see if I can get this girl.
You think I'm gonna win?
(laughter from cameraman)
- Okay, oh!
- Oh.
- This is so not what I was expecting.
- This be different.
- I feel like that's good, yeah.
- I am different.
I am wearing sunglasses inside.
- Okay, I see ground beef, I think, on a fried egg.
- Is that turkey?
- I think it might be sausage.
- No, I mean under it.
- Oh.
- There's a lot of things happening.
- Oh, maybe it's ground turkey.
- Okay, I do love an egg, and I do like breakfast,
so this is good?
- Oh, I'm gonna wait till they taste it,
because we all are in unison that, as presentation-wise...
- It looks bad.
- I think this person is very creative,
and they made their own thing.
- They're not afraid to think outside of the box,
which is something that I'm really excited about.
- That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
- But I am concerned, what meal is this supposed to be for?
Is this breakfast, lunch?
- Breakfast, baby!
What you mean?
(laughter)
- I'm trying to get everything in one thing.
- Yeah.
- It tastes how it looks.
It's not bad.
- I think it's definitely breakfast.
- It's definitely breakfast.
- Okay, so they figured out that it's breakfast.
- There's a little seasoning on top.
So they didn't skimp out on that.
- Process of elimination will let you know
that the next dish is gonna be Blake.
I'm gonna heat you when it's your turn.
Right now I'm gonna heat you.
- Don't heat me, we didn't finish.
- It's a little heavy for me in the morning.
I don't know, it's not bad.
I'm just a little confused,
'cause I've never seen something like this in my life.
- Whoo.
Is that ever a good way to describe something?
I don't hate it.
- She's just afraid that it's gonna eat her back.
- Appearance, maybe a two.
- Oh, yeah.
Maybe worse.
- Maybe worse than that.
- But it's okay, I can help him with that.
- She says she might be able to help me.
(laughter)
That means that she wanna see me grow.
- I'm not here to help, I'm just here to eat.
- She's a woman who knows what she wants,
and she will stop at nothing.
- But taste is good.
I don't think it will make me sick, you know.
- Hey, I have a question.
We haven't done mine yet,
but is it a chance I could go home with both dates?
- Oh, wow, you real, you real.
- Aggressive, calm down.
- I know, you ain't even seen yours yet.
- This is under the first one for me.
- Same.
- Movin' on.
- That was disgusting.
- Movin' on to the champ.
The champ is here.
- The thing is, I gotta lot of dates already.
- Yeah, okay, cool.
(laughter)
- It's crispy Parmesan chicken, carrots.
Look pretty good to me.
Okay, so I'm about to pack it up
and hopefully tomorrow the girls will like it
and I will beat all the other guys and have the best meal.
We'll see what happens.
- Oh, my God.
- Oh, my goodness.
This guy is trying to fatten me up for the winter.
- I like this one already.
Wow!
- What is it?
Chicken?
- I love a good lemon on the side.
I mean, this is meant to do this, right?
We have to.
Oh, wow.
- Yeah, this is like the Ikeas of dinners.
You've gotta put it together before you even eat it.
- You put lemon juice on it.
- That was a good move.
- Oh, my God, look at them.
- I should have brought some hot sauce.
- Alright, try the carrots.
Oh, they're so soft.
- They are.
- Oh, my God.
- Those are really good carrots.
- I love this.
- Okay, they like the carrots.
- Wait, they're going carrots first?
- Is this corn, like a cornbread scenario?
- I don't know.
- Let's try it.
I don't know what that is, but I like it.
It's bready.
- It's almost like tasteless to me.
- She said it's tasteless.
- Who said it was tasteless?
- Savannah said it was tasteless.
- The chicken was?
- She said your whole meal, your whole swag,
everything is tasteless.
- First of all, she already said she loves the carrots.
- You know what I appreciate about this plate,
is that there's so much food on it.
Like, a lot.
- He's got an appetite.
- Chicken, breaded very nicely.
I don't know what's on it but...
- It's cooked really nicely, too.
- The chicken's cooked real nicely.
- Wow, that's good.
He really went all out with these, like, elements.
- Yeah, it seems like the carrots hit, the chicken hit,
but the couscous was tasteless.
- Well, the couscous, oh, so the couscous was tasteless.
- Yeah, that's what they're saying.
- Couscous is always tasteless.
- The presentation really made us ooh and ah.
- This one lived up to its appearance.
It was very good.
The lemon was just wow.
- Oh, I got two of these.
I got two of these.
- That's for the lemon, calm down.
- Even the lemon's massive.
They don't skimp on anything.
- This guy isn't selfish, he's very giving.
(laughter)
I think this one was good.
I think this one was definitely better
than the second one that we got.
- 110% better.
- Hold up, though.
- The second guy isn't going on a date today, I don't think.
- It's okay.
He could take one of those singles cooking classes
and then come back next year.
- True.
- You know, I'm actually gonna leave.
- Wait, wait, hold on.
- We gotta wait for the reveal.
I wanna see your face.
- It wasn't bad.
It just wasn't bad, it just wasn't good
compared to the other ones.
- It's just like one in three were just,
they came with their game face on, you know.
- Yeah, for sure, for sure.
(laughter)
- What?
- Bruh, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
(laughter)
Do we do that?
- Damn, Blake!
- Do we reveal?
- The plate slash guy that I liked the best,
I think, is the first guy.
- Okay, yeah, yeah.
- This plate is like a really, really close second.
- I liked this one the best, the third one.
- What?
Are y'all serious?
- I just like food in big quantities.
- Damn, I should have put six eggs.
- This just spoke to me.
As soon as I saw it I was like, correct.
This is correct to my stomach and my heart.
- You did, your face lit up right when it came to the table.
- I love chicken!
- That was a rush.
That was a ride.
- That was a wild ride.
- You were so confident, bro.
- The thing was that I thought
that they would love a good breakfast.
You know, like keep it light.
- I mean, my feeling is
I don't think that you can make anything but breakfast.
I have a feeling that you eat out a lot.
- Don't ever do that to me again.
- That you eat out a lot.
- What?
- I don't know, I don't know, man.
I don't know.
We don't grab dinner.
(laughter)
- Ify is really into himself.
He won and now he wants to replay it.
- I'm more in it for the cooking thing.
Like, you know.
But, you know, I am a good date,
but really I have a passion to win.
- I'm just happy I beat you, man.
- Technically, I didn't lose.
I didn't even come in second.
Like, I tied for first.
There's only one loser.
- There's only one loser.
- And that's you.
- Congratulations on your dates.
Hopefully your time together is good.
- Alright, so the two winners have to meet the ladies.
Let's see if they're disappointed.
- Psyche, this is what I look like.
- Alright, we're gonna meet the guy behind the food we like.
- Yeah, the plate.
Whoo!
- First of all, this is very awkward.
Second of all, I picked number three.
- I picked number one.
I'm a little nervous, I don't know why.
- Dish number one.
- Whoo, my guy!
- Are you three?
- Yeah.
- Do you make that often,
or is that something you just kind of like
pulled out of thin air?
- I love a good salmon.
It was fresh caught today.
And the thing that y'all thought was a pilaf,
that was a cauliflower risotto I made,
and it's actually a recipe I got
from the head chef of Little Doms.
And then, you know, asparagus goes with anything.
You need a third thing.
- See, he's a smart man.
Do I know how to pick 'em or what?
(laughter)
- You know the salmon leads to the man.
Did you fresh catch your chicken?
- No.
(laughter)
- So, explain your meal.
What was it?
- It's Parmesan encrusted chicken with couscous
and baked carrots with lemon on top.
- [Lindsay] Oh, that's what it was?
- [Blake] The couscous didn't reheat well.
- But, I will say your breaded chicken, the lemon...
- We liked the lemon.
You didn't make the lemon, but that was my favorite.
Oh, we wanted to know how you make the carrots.
The carrots were very good.
- [Savannah] Did you follow Chrissy Teigen's recipe?
- She has a good carrot recipe.
- I peeled them, I cut them,
I put olive oil, salt and pepper,
and I put them on a pan and I put them in the...
- You did a good job.
- Food is something that's really important to me
just 'cause I do try to live like a healthy lifestyle,
so I do like that your whole like thought process
behind the meal and just the plating,
everything about it was really good.
So 10 out of 10.
You have good taste.
Yeah, I could see myself
going on a second date with you, for sure.
But, you're just gonna have to teach me how to cook that.
- Oh yeah, I could do that.
- I (bleep) love chicken.
I (bleep) love carrots.
I like eating lots of food and that had all the things.
Yeah, it was super good.
I would be down for another date, cool.
(laughter)
- Salmon gang.
