Four chefs enter the Chopped Kitchen and lay it all on the line to get it done! The appetizer round has the chefs wondering what exactly a Chinese tea egg is and what exactly they got themselves into by agreeing to compete. Pizza in a strange format and an uncommonly eaten piece of pork appear in the entree basket. A big, stinky fruit is the talk of the dessert round, and the big question is whether the finalists know how to make it delicious.

A groom's cake with a Game of Thrones theme isn't complete without a sculpted ice dragon and an intricately carved Iron Throne. The ultimate block party celebrates Chinese New Year with a cake so over the top it literally smokes. Then, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Fort Worth Stockyards Championship Rodeo, 24 layers of cowboy coffee cake are turned into the world's largest belt buckle, and the real question is whether it will hold up to being delivered right to the arena floor.
Guy Fieri wants everything between the bread. Chef Tiffani Faison gets cruising with a Pineapple Kush cocktail and makes a Chinese hamburger called Rou Jia Mo before piling up Peanut Butter Whipped Marshmallow Toasties. Chef Mei Lin's serves up a Fried Fish Sandwich with Yuzu Tartar Sauce and plates her Reuben Cheesy Pockets. Chef Justin Sutherland pops off some Meatball Hoagie Poppers before circling around to a Cuban Sandwich Dip. Chef Joe Sasto craves Mozzarella en Carroza and tops it off with Torta della Patate.
It's not delivery, it's The Kitchen! The hosts recreate favorite take-out staples from the comfort of home. Katie Lee Biegel packs a ton of veggies into her Summer Shrimp Pad Thai-Inspired Noodles, and Jeff Mauro serves up a Chicago-Style Steak Burrito with a Sidecar of Salsa Verde that Geoffrey Zakarian pairs with Green Melon Margarita. Then, Geoffrey goes DIY on dipping sauces inspired by duck sauce and Chinese hot mustard, and Sunny Anderson shares an easy trick for her Nutty Upside Down Cinnamon Rolls.
The Grill Dads continue their road trip hunting for outrageous food in surprising places. First up is the Basque Market in Boise, Idaho, where they whip up a stunning Spanish rice seafood paella.

Finally, the Dads visit Seattle, Wash., for some original paprika-spiced chicken wings that literally tower over any other chicken wing out there.
