Still stuffed from the traditional Italian truffle feast served the night before, Pete takes Toby the truffle hound into the woods to sniff out some truffles, one of the world's most renowned delicacies and one of Italy's prized exports.
It's a special day on Brunch @ Bobby's as Bobby creates an awesome menu inspired by one of his favorite places — Tuscany. Scrambled Eggs with Romano Cheese and Black Pepper start off the meal, followed by a Grilled Tuscan Bruschetta topped with fresh Tomatoes and Basil. As the flavors of Italy settle in, Bobby moves on to make homemade Orange Ricotta Pancakes with a Caramelized Fig Compote and Pistachios, and a side of tasty Italian Home Fries. To finish things off one of his favorite desserts - gelato! Only Bobby turns his into a triple threat cocktail with Raspberry Sorbetto, and fresh Peach and Vanilla Gelato, topped off with sparkling Prosecco. Viva L'Italia!
Chefs Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro introduce the recruits to the classic flavors and dishes of Italy. They start off with a fast-paced game where recruits answer trivia and ride gondolas, followed by an outrageous cooking relay where they must work in pairs to create a romantic Italian picnic basket. In the Skill Drill challenge, the singles take on sausage and pepper sandwiches, which includes making sausages from scratch! Then in the Main Dish cook, Anne and Jeff demonstrate classic meatballs with sauce and polenta. The recruits that successfully replicate their chefs' dishes continue on in boot camp, and the least successful bid "arrivederci" to boot camp.
