Episode overview
The teams go head-to-head in movie genre-inspired challenges that test their palates, culinary knowledge and dramatic instincts. For the skill drill challenge, the celebs must nail a classic combo: soup and a sandwich. Later, the spotlight shifts to the main dish challenge, where chefs Jeff Mauro and Tiffany Derry roll out a show-stopping pairing: eggplant parmesan and handmade pasta. The stars with the best performances move on, but the bottom two must battle it out in a blind elimination cook-off featuring a sweet and savory appetizer.
