Join host Marc Summers as he gets cooking with kids. Meet the world’s youngest chef, visit with two pint sized chocolate entrepreneurs and head to the Crisco Team Pie Bakeoff.

The Kitchen is embracing down home country cooking, starting with Katie Lee's Low Country Seafood Boil and Geoffrey Zakarian's Summer Succotash. The hosts make easy DIY hostess gifts with Southern flair and learn new tricks from old tools. The Pioneer Woman's Ree Drummond stops by to make her Blueberry Cobbler, and Geoffrey mixes up a Southern Peach Julep while the gang jams with The Flying Fingers jug band!
Ree Drummond is playing around with fabulous fuss-free food with no cooking required. She puts a cowboy spin on her Ranch Muffuletta Sandwich with Spicy Olive Spread, and a rotisserie chicken is the secret to her Chinese Chicken Salad with Ginger and Chili Dressing. She makes Shrimp Pesto Spring Rolls with Quick Pesto Dipping Sauce and Simple Lemon Dressing and finishes things off with magical Mermaid Ice Cream.
The Kitchen hosts are breaking down the classic dishes that every home cook can master in their own kitchens. Alex Guarnaschelli starts with her No-Fail Whole Roasted Chicken, and Katie Lee Biegel makes an elegant Salad Nicoise. Sunny Anderson grills up her delicious T-Bone Steak with Easy Bearnaise Sauce, and Jeff Mauro shares the secrets to Sole Meuniere. Geoffrey Zakarian whips up a fluffy Chili Orange Chocolate Souffle before the hosts share some classic cooking techniques.
The finalists must try their hand at something big, taking their inspiration from Josh Denny and his hit Food Network show, Ginormous Food. Then, it's time for the up-to-the-minute trend of live cooking while streaming on social media. Each finalist streams their take on a start-to-finish 15-minute weeknight meal while viewers cook along. Surprise guest Alex Guarnaschelli provides feedback on the finalists' performances as Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay send one more finalist on their way.
