Baby Gear Meets Grown-Up Competition — Alton's After-Show

While challenge dishes featured on Cutthroat Kitchen are classics and easy to prepare, many, like Thai coconut soup and falafel, aren't necessarily appealing to children. On tonight's all-new episode, however, the competition took a turn for the kid-friendly, as Alton Brown introduced one dish that's perhaps enjoyed more by children than by adults: chicken fingers. "The chicken finger is featured on pretty much every single kids' menu on the planet," Alton told judge Jet Tila on this week's After-Show. To celebrate the plate and honor one place many chicken fingers are eaten, Alton auctioned off a giant highchair, one intended not for kids but for an unlucky chef saddled with sabotage. "Look at the view," Alton said jokingly to Jet, who willingly climbed onto the chair to experience the test for himself. "You can see further in Cutthroat Kitchen than ever before."

While the sights may have been ideal up there, the working conditions were not, as Chef Joel found mini utensils, plastic plates and an electric cooktop waiting for him at the table of the highchair. Lucky for him, though, he didn't stay there long, as he won the mid-round sabotage and forced Chef Oz to take his place and finish prepping the dish there as his own. He "simply cannot recoup," Alton noted to Jet, who surely tasted the struggle in Chef Oz's dish, as the judge sent him home after a failed chicken-finger offering.
