Four Confident Cooks are coming! However a horrifying incident at the end of the round 1 while making pickled pigs feet dishes, puts one chef in jeopardy. Venison causes troubles in Round 2. In the dessert the two contestants have similar ideas.

Competing:

Maxcel Hardy

Ashley Fahr 

Laurie Potts

Joe Youkhan

Judges: 

  • Aarón Sánchez
  • Marcus Samuelsson
  • Alex Stupak


Appetizer: 

Pickled Pigs Feet, Butter Beans, Coleslaw mix, Sweet Potato Chips

Ashley: Butter Bean and Pig’s Foot Hash with Coleslaw Salad

Laurie:  BBQ Pickled Pigs Feet with Southern Slaw

Joe: Butter Bean and Pig’s Feet Cassoulet with Sour Slaw

Chopped: Ashley because she cut herself at some point and failed to realize until the end of the round. The judges did not taste her dish due to a possible contamination.

.Entree: Venison Tenderloin, Watercress, Eggplant, and Pecan Pie.

Laurie: Pecan Pie Crusted Venison Tenderloin with Watercress & Eggplant Puree

Joe: Five Spiced Seared Venison with Potato Gnocchi & Eggplant Caponata

Maxcel: Rosemary Roasted Venison with Eggplant Pecan Risotto

Chopped: Laurie because her Eggplant and Watercress Puree made her Venison soggy.

Dessert: Chai Tea Latte, Lady Gala Apples, Black Licorice, and Puff Pastry. 

Joe: Deconstructed Apple Strudel with Chai Tea Black Licorice Cream

Maxcel: Apple Strudel with Chai Tea Black Licorice Crème Anglaise

Chopped: Maxcel because in the appetizer his dish lacked pigs feet and in the entree round his venison was overcooked. That left Joe as the chopped champion.
