-Zarah runs into issues with her salmon and must start over.

-Emerson has only been cooking for a year and considers Chef Ramsay to be his inspiration.

-Time to judge!

-Xiaowan’s ground pork dumplings: it is a delicious, beautiful dish.

-Elijah: His soup joumou with beef chuck is very flavorful and well-balanced.

-Mina: Her ground chicken Japanese rice bowl is a bit bland, but the pickled cucumbers on top were delicious.

-Rae: Her surf and turf with lobster and ribeye is well-seasoned, but the ribeye is too rare.

-Landon: His chicken thigh with cranberry sauce and latkes is cooked perfectly.

-Colbie: Her honey chicken with southern fried corn is delicious and next level.

-Emerson: The salmon is delicious, despite being overcooked, but the couscous could have used more seasoning.

-Lorenzo: His branzino is cooked beautifully.

-Zarah: Her salmon is undercooked, but the Indian flavors and potatoes made the dish.

-Elijah just eating his food without a worry in the world is such a mood.

-Colbie, Xiaowan and Lorenzo are the top cooks of the night. Colbie has the top dish and wins some OXO goodies for her kitchen.

-Zarah, Mina and Emerson are all sent home. They are all in tears and it breaks my heart. Everyone gives them hugs and tells them to keep cooking.

 

Hour 2!

-They are all making pies. There are three teams: Colbie and Lorenzo, Elijah and Xiaowan and Rae and Landon.

-Each team will need to make as many pies as possible topped with whipped cream ,sprinkles and cherries. Whichever team makes the most pies will win a prize, while the others will need to participate in an elimination challenge.

-The teams seem to be a bit overwhelmed, but still having fun.

-The elimination challenge has the remaining cooks making their own savory pies. The winner will get Staub cookware and the bottom two will be going home.

-Landon and Rae enjoy hot chocolate with the judges while the others bake their pies.

-Colbie is making a savory pie with ricotta and veggies that sounds absolutely delicious.

-Elijah is also making empanadas. His are with beef and a secret sauce.

-Xiaowan is making a chicken pot pie with Chinese spices.

-Xiaowan is running out of time, so Chef Ramsay helps her finish cooking.

-Judgment time!

-Elijah’s empanada is delicious, but the potatoes are a bit undercooked.

-Lorenzo’s empanada is colorful, but the mixture did not cool down properly. However, it tastes good, despite being a bit greasy.

-Xiaowan’s chicken pot pie has undercooked pastry, but the filling is delicious, despite being a bit dry.
