Four chefs start their day making their best coffee shop breakfast. Then, it's time to travel when Alex Guarnaschelli asks them to transport the judges, Scott Conant and Antonia Lofaso, with a globetrotting dish. The final two chefs must create a dish with a fabulous filling in order to fill their year with free groceries.

To start, the four chefs must grill a dish to parking lot perfection. Then, Alex Guarnaschelli challenges them to make judges Maneet Chauhan and Scott Conant feel good with a feel-better meal. The final challenge is all about the herbs when the remaining two chefs have to cook an "herbalicious" dish.
