Four chefs embrace a sweet-and-sour theme and seek to harmonize opposite flavors on their plates. A furious first round has them racing to figure out what to do with a ready-to-serve soup and three other basket finds. The goodies in the second basket might point the chefs in an Italian direction, and the remaining competitors invent two very different desserts from the sweet-and-sour surprises they find in the final basket.
The Kitchen co-hosts put their own unique touches on delicious Italian recipes from red sauce joints. The whole crew works together to make The Kitchen Family's Sunday Sauce, Alex Guarnaschelli brings dessert to the feast with her Classic Tiramisu and Geoffrey Zakarian whips up a Tricolore Salad. Jeff Mauro makes the Ultimate Cheesy Chicken Parmesan, while Sunny Anderson and Katie Lee Biegel create two types of garlic bread: Cushy and Crispy Garlic Bread and Stovetop Garlic Bread!
After completing an album of Frank Sinatra covers, Trisha Yearwood is inspired to recreate some of the crooner's favorite Italian meals with her own spin, since Ol' Blue Eyes hated garlic. Trisha sings some of her favorite Sinatra tunes while sipping Frank's favorite whiskey and water and making Prosciutto and Cantaloupe Bites with Balsamic and Black Pepper, an Arugula, Mozzarella, Roasted Red Pepper and Mint Salad, Spicy Clams Linguine with Sunday Gravy and, for dessert, Orange Chocolate Cannoli Dip.
