Three chefs meet up with host Jeff Mauro in Paramus, New Jersey, to beg homeowners to shop in their own fridges and share the bounty. The chefs are challenged to use the ingredients in festival-style food, something "stuffed" and street-fair dishes, and Jeff is joined by judge Christian Petroni to choose the winner and award the prize money.
Host Jeff Mauro challenges three chefs to find families in the suburbs north of Austin, Texas, who are willing to share ingredients for a cook-off on their street. Eddie Jackson helps Jeff judge as the chefs prepare down-home Texas barbecue and Tex-Mex inspired dishes. After the final battle, one winning chef splits a cash prize with their lucky host family!
