A Culinary Battle
This camo-green tank made an appearance during a special episode that brought together members of America's armed services.
Dressing the Dish
When pumpkin pie is on the menu, it's only fitting that a chef don a pumpkin head to celebrate — or fear — the occasion.

Cutting Edge
If these teeth look sharp to you, that's exactly the point; one chef had to use this shark jaw as a cutting implement while executing poke.
A Roman Ride
This movable chariot served as one chef's home base for a doozy of a Caesar salad battle — and it came with a spiffy helmet, too.
Seeing Blue
Not one to shy away from a costume, Alton landed in this, a giant blueberry, which served as one chef's getup during a blueberry muffin test.
Comfy Cooking
Don't let Alton's feet-up pose and jovial smile fool you; one chef was in for a particularly tricky round when relegated to this recliner to make meatloaf.
A Super Sabotage
Just in time for a special episode devoted to big-game eats, these diabolical bleachers provided nearly all of the food — and the space — two chefs could use to make chicken wings.
A Different Kind of Jolly Suit

Even a roaring flame is no match for the master of eviliciousness.
Right at Home
Alton's makeshift living room was anything but inviting when it turned into a prep station for two competitors making a TV dinner.
