Ashley Foxen and the gang serve up a 1950s greaser party complete with milkshake cupcakes! Later, the zany fans of the MLS Philadelphia Union order up some Philly pretzel cupcakes and a Ben Franklin skull cupcake. Finally, the wackiest twist on a twist is when vegetarian chef Amanda orders up turkey drumstick and fried chicken cupcakes for her whole staff!
Today's time-saving menu is all about big flavor, thanks to a couple marinades and a rub. First up, Lemon Pepper Cured Chicken With Fennel Salad.

Then, for beef eaters, it's Espresso Steak With Baked Zucchini -- a jazzed-up meat and potatoes supper.
Mike and Erika opened Mystic Treats in Ashland, Ore., three years ago, hoping to attract customers with their vegetarian and offbeat pizzas.

Robert will have to start from scratch, educating the owners, choosing an identity, focusing the menu and creating a design vision -- all in just two days.
