Former finalists return to the kitchen for a second shot at stardom!
Finalists shoot 30-second screen tests explaining what they're all about and show them at a VIP event in Hollywood. Then the finalists get a rude surprise when an eliminated contestant from a previous season joins the competition.
It's the food-world equivalent of a rap battle as finalists compete head-to-head by mashing two cooking styles into one dish. Then, in a surprise twist, two finalists are sent packing. Haylie Duff and Rev Run are guest judges.
The finalists are each assigned a different holiday theme and take turns hosting their own special parties. Tia Mowry and Donal Skehan are on hand to help Giada De Laurentiis and Bobby Flay get the festivities started.
We're talking about throwback dishes that are better now than ever before! Alton Brown takes a field trip to Virginia to get his favorite boxed lunch, while Tregaye Fraser pulls up to a memorable drive-in for a slice of cake.
