Guy Fieri's laying down a challenge to see who can layer on the flavor. Aarti Sequeira starts off with a classic Indian Bombay Frankie and then rolls out some Lahmajun, or Armenian pizza. Rocco DiSpirito's layering the booze with his Dubliner and then goes old-school with a new take on his Ten-Layer Lasagna Bolognese. Ming Tsai is making some Kimchee Beef Scallion Pancakes with Watercress Slaw and then sweetening things up with his Coconut Cream and Chocolate Rice Cake Parfait. Jonathan Waxman wows the crowd with his tasty Timballo and tantalizing Tartiflette.
The '70s were synonymous with disco and bologna, so host Jonathan Bennett challenges the chefs to create dishes that incorporate a bologna sandwich, Hamburger Helper and canned pineapple. While all of the chefs have similar memories of the ingredients, being forced to use a fondue pot throws the new school chefs for a loop. Then, the viral Japanese soufflé pancake video proves easier to "post" than cook, and the final round has the remaining chefs serve up their own interpretation of chicken Kiev to judges Eddie Jackson and Eddie Jackson Sr.
