The Final Two

Kelli and Vinnie are ready for the final challenge: cooking for three culinary experts in a New York restaurant kitchen. Both are fired up to win it for their families and their chefs — not to mention the $25K in prize money.

Brainstorm

The first step is planning out menus with their chefs. Anne asks Kelli for ideas, and together they come up with an ambitious three-course meal: crab-stuffed cannelloni, grilled steak and an apple crostata for dessert.

Risky Business

Vinnie's tartare impressed Bobby in the seafood challenge, so he's going to improve upon it even more for his appetizer. Also on the menu: squab marsala and a risky pistachio creme brulee.

Supermarket Sweep

Now the recruits are off to the grocery store to shop for all of their ingredients. Both Kelli and Vinnie are a bit lost in the store: "I am completely out of my element. Usually I stay where things are boxed and packaged," says Kelli.
