Season 28:
Heroes and villains from reality TV are trading drama for kitchen chaos, and chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso are on a mission to transform these infamous stars into competent cooks! To kick things off, Jeff and Antonia need to assess the culinary carnage, so they ask the recruits to whip up their go-to dinner party dish -- whether it's a hit or a miss. Then, in the main dish challenge, it's sink or swim as they butcher a whole fish and replicate an elegant seafood dish. The recruits who show potential will move on, while the rest sail off into the sunset.
The recruits step into boot camp and the comic book-themed "Flavor City" to battle in a superfood showdown! Then, chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso challenge the teams to flex their culinary muscles by cooking mussels. In the main dish challenge, the recruits tackle the tricky balance of sweet and sour pork, and the bottom two must face off in a blind elimination by creating a sweet and spicy appetizer.
The teams face off in a "Reality Roast" game of culinary challenges inspired by iconic reality TV shows, testing their taste buds, technique and kitchen skills. Then, for the skill drill challenge, chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso teach the recruits to make an all-American breakfast. For the main dish challenge, things get smoking as the teams throw down on the grill with barbecue chicken. The two least successful recruits face a blind elimination challenge to make the ultimate breakfast sandwich.
