Rachael is in our nation's capital for some monumental eating and sightseeing. Her first stop is at the Old Ebbitt Grill, one of D.C.'s most historic restaurants. She then heads over to Zaytinya to share some tapas with her Tasty Travels crew. And what's a visit to Washington, D.C., without checking out the museums? Rachael samples the food at Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe, inside the National Museum of the American Indian. She then takes a spin on a Segway-the, a perfect way to get around D.C.! Rachael wraps up her tour of the city with a late-night meal at the French-Indian restaurant IndeBleu.
Let's Eat is sharing easy weeknight meals for getting back into the groove of work or school. Jamika Pessoa serves a two-for-one dinner, Parmesan Chicken Fingers and Chicken Piccata, that satisfies both kids and adults. Vivian Chan whips up her Banana "Nice-cream," a dairy-free alternative to everyone's favorite frozen treat. Brandi Milloy gets dinner and dessert on the table in no time with her Tomato and Mozzarella Galette and Peach and Plum Galette. Then, Stuart O'Keeffe delivers two sweet treats with his Big Delicious Chocolate Mess and Uncle Stu's Fun-due Dessert Bar. Finally, Brandi wraps things up with a special snack of Dessert Sushi.
Celebrating the trendy tradition of hosting a Friendsgiving meal, four teams of best buddies compete to make a Thanksgiving feast. Cooperation will be key as good pals set out to show that their bonds can withstand the pressure that comes from one of the toughest cooking competitions around. Mayhem ensues with eight chefs in the kitchen in the first round, as everyone tries to make the most of an iffy canned product. A thematically appropriate and totally weird hot dog is part of the entrée round puzzle, and a pumpkin pie-flavored drink in the dessert basket is a sweet surprise for the two remaining teams of friends.
To build the recruits' understanding of flavor, Chefs Anne and Robert set out three sauces for each team to replicate by taste alone in hopes of winning the honor of "top taste buds". Each chef then incorporates one of the sauces into a seafood dish, and their team members must recreate the recipe for the Skill Drill. After some difficulties, the recruits start in on the Main Dish Challenge where Chefs Anne and Robert demo a multi-component "Frozen Meal Makeover" using fresh and flavorful ingredients for the recruits to replicate. After sampling the results, two more worst cooks must turn in their aprons and leave Boot Camp.
The remaining recruits face off in one last skill drill to determine who will compete in the finale. To see how far they've come, the recruits recreate their baseline dishes using all the techniques they've learned in boot camp. Then chefs Robert Irvine and Anne Burrell teach their final two recruits how to make a three-course, restaurant-quality meal, and the two finalists put all their culinary skills to the test in order to impress a panel of culinary experts. Judges David Burtka, Daphne Oz and Melba Wilson taste the recruits' dishes in a blind taste test and determine the winner of the $25,000 prize.
Twelve chefs arrive on a remote island and are immediately thrown into the elements, forced to work in teams and cook without traditional tools or electricity. As they scramble to build their kitchens and struggle to light fires, each team must deliver a three-course meal for the esteemed judges. In round one, a venomous threat in the basket tests their nerve as unstable flames and clashing strategies threaten to derail both teams. The lowest-performing chefs are sent to the Gauntlet for a head-to-head battle. In brutal weather, they must break down and cook a formidable creature from the sea. Which Castaway will fight their way back, and who will be the first chef chopped?
