And, come tasting time, the judges find some interesting surprises lurking in the dishes.

And things get sticky in the final round when a nostalgic candy gives one chef some serious trouble.

And in Palm Springs, Calif., a hot dog spot going meatless with their chili dog and putting a big twist on chicken and waffles.
