Robert's mission takes him to the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland, Washington where he is expected to create an unforgettable meal for a cross-cultural wedding! His challenge is to create a gourmet menu that fuses Asian and Irish cuisine, consisting of hors d'oeuvres and a 4-course plated dinner for 150 wedding guests in 9 hours. This wedding is incredibly emotional and special for the family, as the bride's dad has been diagnosed with lung cancer and the couple pushed up their wedding date six months (from August to January) to ensure that he would be at their wedding.
At midterm time, Chefs Anne and Robert want to see how the recruits perform without supervision. Via video message, the chefs assign their teams a scrambled recipe for the Skill Drill.

For the Main Dish Challenge, the chefs shock their recruits with the news that they must cater an hors d'oeuvre party for NFL star Kris Jenkins, his wife, and 30 of their guests! It's game time, and the two least successful cooks are cut.

Then, fresh Stone Fruit gets chopped up and combined into delicious Salsa, paired with Cinnamon Chips. She'll top everything off with sweet and refreshing Vanilla Bean Lemonade.

All the best of a classic steakhouse done with new technique twists in 5 ingredients or fewer! To start, Claire is serving chilled shrimp with a tangy horseradish cream cheese over round toast. Next, the centerpiece of this meal - beef tenderloin that is literally foolproof. Claire poaches -- yes, POACHES -- her tenderloin low and let's it go. Served with a port wine reduction sauce, it's sure to keep your guests crowded around the dinner table. Don't forget the sides! First, an easy creamed spinach side with a cheesy bite. Plus, roasted, smashed and loaded potatoes that can even stand on their own as an hors d'oeuvre. To finish, a sour cherry Manhattan done with an orange flame, all to share with chef Bobby Flay. It's the New Steakhouse on 5 ingredient Fix.
