Katie Lee pours on some sweetness with a Maple Pudding Cake and Jeff Mauro makes his souped-up Veggie-Packed Autumn Minestrone. Dan Churchill -- the host of "Feast with Friends -- then stops by with his Pesto Falafel with Butternut Squash Hummus. We top it all off with Poached Pears paired with sweet and savory toppings and a Poached Pear Champagne Spritzer.
In this episode, the remaining 7 chefs undertake the Chairman’s charge of TRANSFORMATION. In the Secret Ingredient challenge, the secret ingredients are American condiments and sauces like ketchup, ranch dressing and mayonnaise. The chefs have 30 minutes to transform these condiments into a dish of their choosing.

Their cook station: the world’s largest grill “The Outlaw Grill” weighing 27 tons and covering nearly 100 feet of turf this massive piece of equipment can cook 1,000 sausages at once. At one point during this difficult battle, the grill becomes a FIERY INFERNO that torches all the food on it.
