Bobby Flay's in the mood for a French Countryside-style brunch picnic. First up, a Tomato Tart drizzled with an fresh herbaceous oil, Orange French Yogurt Cake With a Marmalade Glaze, Home Fries cooked in duck fat and Hard Boiled Eggs with Olive Tapenade. And to drink, he's packing a refreshing, homemade pitcher of Citronnade a la Menthe, a light mint lemonade.

Guy Fieri is getting culture shock, starting with a French-inspired Hawaiian hot spot transformed from a hole-in-the-wall lunch counter to a dine-in destination.

Not everyone excels as the competition gets tougher, and one prospect is sent home.
