When four chefs get started on their eye-opening morning meals, they have no idea what Alex Guarnaschelli has in store for them. Then, the competitors forget about brunch when "linner" is on the menu, and two night owl chefs do a late night fridge raid for judges Jet Tila and Jeremy McBryde.

Four chefs get in a pickle when Alex Guarnaschelli has them prepare the briniest of dishes, but there's a shred of hope when they have to tear the competition to pieces. Then, the final stakeout is all about the shine as the remaining chefs glaze their way into judges Jet Tila and Elizabeth Heiskell's hearts in order to win a year's worth of groceries.
