Host Eric Adjepong welcomes three of the country's most skilled salmon experts. Representing Washington, California and Alaska, these chefs must prove their knowledge of fish can compete with Alex Guarnaschelli's experience. The ingredients they choose in round one could give them an advantage or help Alex blow them out of the water. The chefs that make it to round two have the chance to win up to $15,000 if they can manage to win over judges Fariyal Abdullahi and Brooke Williamson and beat Chef Alex.
After years of host Eric Adjepong tormenting Alex Guarnaschelli on "Alex vs America," the tables have turned as Alex takes over Wildcard Kitchen. It's Eric's turn in the hot seat when Alex invites two champion chefs who have beaten Eric in the past, Sara Bradley and Kelsey Barnard Clark. Eric will put up $5,000 of his own money to cook head-to-head against his old rivals, but can he defend his house and claim a potential pot of $15,000?
The Kitchen is bringing back old-school favorites with tasty updates! Geoffrey Zakarian shares his recipe for Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, Jeff Mauro makes Chicken Kiev with Peas and Carrots, and Alex Guarnaschelli has a comfort food classic with her Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles. Sunny Anderson and Katie Lee Biegel have the sweet treats covered with Sunny's Quick Waffle Iron PB&J Affair and Katie's Classic Molasses Cookies. Plus, the hosts chat about the new season of Alex vs America!
The Kitchen throws an epic backyard barbecue! Sunny Anderson sears a juicy Skirt Steak with Cowgirl Butter, which Geoffrey Zakarian pairs with a Grilled Summer Ratatouille. Then, Katie Lee Biegel prepares a sweet and spicy Pepper Jelly Baked Beans, the crew serves up cookout favorites and Chef Eric Adjepong shares a Senegalese Burger with Yassa Onion Jam and the scoop on "Alex vs America!"
