Sink or Swim

S1 E4: Chef Marcel Vigneron and his team member Robyn Wilson head to Walden Surboards to discuss a party for Steve Walden, father of the modern longboard. Steve is celebrating his 50th year in the business and Marcel will create an inventive luau themed event. Marcel and Robyn also go surfing to seek inspiration for the menu. Marcel and his entire team - Robyn, Devon Espinosa and Jarrid Masse -- embark on an innovative new luau menu that includes short ribs cooked on individual rocks heated to 500 degrees, taro chips with Spam poi, opihi shells made from edible clay served with tuna poke, and a special liquid nitrogen "fauxconut" dessert. Jarrid takes on the added challenge of building tabletop volcanoes that erupt with hot, molten pineapple sauce for dipping the short ribs. For the party, the Walden Surboard shop is transformed into a tropical luau environment where the "outside" is brought "in." Later, Marcel and team break into a celebratory food fight in the kitchen, exhilarated with their latest triumph.
