America's 50th state knows how to cook up a good time, as this culinary battle will prove! The fryer is a hot commodity in the appetizer round, creating dilemmas for the chefs who didn't get there first. Fish and seaweed in the entrée basket keep the island vibes going strong. In the dessert round, a canned meat product and a sweet purée are part of the culinary puzzle that the two finalists must solve.
The appetizer round prompts a couple of critical questions -- namely, what in the world is a narutomaki, and what are you supposed to do with it?

A salmon-like fish filet in the entree round presents challenges, then the finalists must figure out how to work edible piano keys into their desserts.
