Noah Cappe makes a trip to New England for a wicked cool visit to the Newport Oyster and Chowder Festival! Nothing says Rhode Island more than this seafood-stacked menu with decadent Lobster Pizza and creamy Crab Rangoons. Noah sees a scallop get shucked before indulging in the Scallop Roll, but he saves room for New England Nachos that dress up pita chips with legendary seafood chowder, lobster and oyster crackers. Then, country roads take Noah on a trip to Buckhannon, West Virginia, where the Reuben Tot Taco mashes up the Reuben sandwich, tater tots and a taco, while fried chicken and waffles get a berry delicious spin with strawberries and a spicy maple syrup.

The bar for balancing flavors is set high as four chefs find sea snails and candy in the first basket. A mishap in the entree round dramatically affects one chef's scallop dish. The two remaining competitors must then work with a dessert basket that includes something porky and something sticky.
