It's the beloved imposters challenge, and hosts and judges Valerie Bertinelli and Duff Goldman ask the young bakers to create grilled dessert imposters with side dishes like ribs and mac 'n' cheese or hot dogs and baked beans. The least successful baker goes home.
The Kitchen hosts work together on a Labor Day cookout, each bringing a unique ingredient or technique to make the menu tasty and memorable. Sunny Anderson gives burgers the royal treatment with her Spicy Green Goddess Burger. Katie Lee Biegel leads the gang in sharing new and improved ways to spruce up corn on the cob. Jeff Mauro fires up the grill for a Hibachi-Style Hot Dog, and Alex Guarnaschelli cools things down with her Spiked Lemony Iced Tea. Finally, Geoffrey Zakarian and the hosts showcase some out-of-this-world ice cream toppings.
Michael Symon can't help but make burgers when he fires up his grill! He shares a lesson in Meat 101, including the fat content of the perfect juicy burger, as he makes Beef and Chorizo Stuffed Burgers. He adds a side of Cast Iron-Charred Broccoli Salad with creamy dressing to contrast the char, and his wife, Lizzie, stirs up Peach Sangria.
On this trip, Guy Fieri's diving into meaty, savory goodness. In Little Rock, Ark., a funky farm-to-table spot piling up a pimento cheese burger and cranking out homemade brats. In Napa, Calif., an amazing Asian joint cooking up kimchi fried rice and prime-time pork ramen. And in San Antonio, Texas, a smokin' stop for some bomb barbecue.
