It's getting hot, hot, hot in the parking lot as Alex Guarnaschelli asks four chefs to whip up tropical treats. Then, one chef will be saying "pasta la vista" after a carb-loader challenge. Finally, the chef who's tops at texture will win it all after a crunchy and smooth-themed challenge leaves judges Ahmad Alzahabi and Maneet Chauhan with a tough decision.

There's a groundbreaking -- and rule-breaking -- surprise in the parking lot when the four chefs make street food. Then, Alex Guarnaschelli challenges them to load up their dishes with tons of toppings, and the two final chefs imagine they're in France as they make dessert for judges Eric Adjepong and Antonia Lofaso.
