It's not every week that a newcomer joins the ranks of judges to enter the hollowed arena that is Cutthroat Kitchen, but tonight comedian David Alan Grier became one of the lucky few. And in true evilicious fashion, host Alton Brown's sabotages of the day were nothing short of diabolical.

In what proved to be a doozy of a challenge during the Round 2 Italian wedding soup assignment, one chef was forced to harvest all of his ingredients from — what else? — a wedding cake, stuffed with everything from peanut butter and a root beer to ground beef and carrots. But for David, it wasn't these savory flavors that stuck out the most in Chef Justin's dish, though the judge couldn't quite decipher what it was that he found. "I taste a sweetness, and I don't really know if this is rice, pasta or grain. I mean, I don't know what it is," David said during tasting, and on Alton's After-Show, he finally learned from Alton what he ate. "Cake, sir, and a little bit of frosting to boot," Alton told David, who admitted to being stumped by that flavor of "mystery." When it came to the all-important meatballs in Chef Justin's Italian wedding soup, David was once again unsure of what to make of them, and Alton finally revealed why: "He decided to put cocoa powder in his meatballs," Alton said. "I didn't perceive chocolate," David told him. "I just perceived off — a little sweet, not what I was expecting." Ultimately these oddball flavor combinations were enough for David to send Justin home once and for all.
