Host Eric Adjepong welcomes three talented brunch experts from New Hampshire, California and Arizona to challenge Chef Alex Guarnaschelli in two intense rounds of cooking. In round one, the chefs seal their fate by choosing the ingredients everyone will be challenged to cook with. Judges Adrienne Cheatham and Brooke Williamson eliminate one chef before round two, where taking first place could win a chef $10,000, but only if they can defeat Chef Alex.

Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and Alex vs America host Eric Adjepong react to the beef battle episode, assessing whether any of the three competing beef pros have what it takes to beat Chef Alex. They pick their most memorable beef dishes as judges Cara Nicoletti and Michael Voltaggio decide which chef best handled the iconic American ingredient.
