Friday night fish fries are a thing in southern Louisiana and Sam and Cody Carroll are frying up a special menu for the occasion right next to the pond on their family farm. They start with Thin Cut Catfish with Spillway Sauce, a locally grown Farmer's Caviar bean salad with a twist and a fruity rum mix called Fish Camp Punch to wash it down. The star of the show, however, is Sam's Chicken Thigh and Smoked Sausage Gumbo with Creole Potato Salad served true Cajun-style -- in the same bowl!
When time runs out on a frantic Appetizer Round, two of the chefs are unhappy with what did not make it on to their calf liver dishes in the final moments, while one chef is upset that a little something extra accidentally did. Then in the Entrée Round, it is up to the judges to determine who fell short with the long beans and whose cuttlefish was a cut above the rest. And the two finalists devise ambitious plans for using a salty condiment and a sweet fruit in their desserts.
