Chef Anne Burrell and co-host Jeff Mauro welcome a batch of '90s stars to culinary boot camp. The first challenge is to make a potluck dish so the chefs can choose their teams. Then the recruits have to make elevated versions of classic TV dinners.

The celebrity recruits play Hollywood Stars, a '90s-style game show, and the winning team gets an advantage for the next challenge, where they create avocado toast. Then mentors Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro teach their teams how to prepare Steak Oscar.

The celeb recruits draw on all their new culinary skills for the final challenge: creating a three-course, restaurant-quality meal. Judges Ilan Hall, Nilou Motamed and Ayesha Nurdjaja choose the winner of the $25,000 prize to charity.

The celebs find boot camp transformed into a colorful, retro diner, and they have to make a loaded burger and fries in a fast-paced, tag-team cooking relay. For the main dish challenge, the recruits learn how to make fruit-filled pastry pockets.

Twenty-two Challenge All Stars return for a second chance at the ultimate competition and a $500,000 grand prize. Right out the gate, the competition gets real with an intense underwater challenge. An honest player struggles with the game's politics.
