As dawn breaks on the asphalt, it's up to the four competing chefs to start the day strong with a hearty breakfast. Then, Alex Guarnaschelli announces that it's 5 o'clock somewhere, and the chefs put the happy in their best happy hour dishes. Finally, the two remaining chefs spice things up with a sweet and spicy showstopper for judges Stephanie Boswell and Tanya Fields.

The chefs stakeout carts to create the perfect hangover helper, and only the well-seasoned survive when Alex Guarnaschelli asks them to dish up dishes from the bayou. One chef is toast when they can't bring the heat, and Alex joins judge Eric Adjepong to choose the winner.
