Culinary Clickbait (2023)
Chefs Anne Burrell and Darnell "Superchef" Ferguson welcome 12 technically savvy but culinary challenged recruits to their cooking boot camp. Before picking teams, Anne and Darnell kick off the competition by having the recruits make their signature dish to show off their skills -- or lack thereof -- in the kitchen. Then in the Main Dish challenge, the recruits learn a unique way to cook chicken -- under a brick! After assessing everyone's skills, Anne and Darnell choose their teams.
America's Next Culinary Influencer (2023)
After the recruits learn some basics, Anne Burrell and Darnell Ferguson want to see who has what it takes to be America's next top culinary influencer! The teams face off in a series of culinary games inspired by some of the biggest internet trends and viral moments before creating their own veggie burgers in the Skill Drill challenge. In the Main Dish cook, Anne and Darnell teach their teams how to make rice bowls, judge their dishes and send one recruit home.
My Big Fat Greek Kitchen (2023)
Boot camp is transformed into ancient Greece, and the teams face off in a head-to-head relay race to make a Mediterranean mezze platter. After they've channeled their inner culinary gods and goddesses, the recruits learn how to make a classic Greek dish, lamb souvlaki, for the Skill Drill challenge. Later in the Main Dish cook, Anne and Darnell aren't "squidding" around when they task their teams with making grilled octopus dishes. Some recruits conquer the Herculean task, but the least successful recruit must sail off into the sunset.
That's So Decadent (2023)
Anne Burrell and Darnell Ferguson start the week testing the recruits' taste buds by identifying the flavor of pies that have been launched into their faces! Then, the chefs demonstrate marbled Swiss roll cakes before challenging the recruits to make herb-laminated pasta from scratch. While some recruits roll with the punches, the least successful is eliminated.
Surviving Worst Cooks (2023)
Halfway through the competition, it only gets harder to survive boot camp! Anne Burrell and Darnell Ferguson push the recruits' culinary, physical and mental skills in the kitchen by having them compete in Survivor: Boot Camp Edition. For this game, they must work together to navigate through an obstacle course and complete a series of culinary-related tasks. Then, the recruits go head-to-head with the opposite team making international chicken wings. In the Main Dish challenge, the recruits must prove they can survive on their own in the kitchen before facing elimination.
