In season 1, the remaining three chefs continue the overseas portion of the competition as they fly to Paris for the next challenge: Lead and Inspire. The chef's must become the ultimate Americans in Paris as they create a meal for a party being thrown by the US Ambassador to France.
There's a groundbreaking -- and rule-breaking -- surprise in the parking lot when the four chefs make street food. Then, Alex Guarnaschelli challenges them to load up their dishes with tons of toppings, and the two final chefs imagine they're in France as they make dessert for judges Eric Adjepong and Antonia Lofaso.
