Home cook Sean Johnson is flying high when Eddie Jackson surprises him with a duel of duck against the celebrated Chef Alex Guarnaschelli. Sean will have to serve up one delicious duck dish to earn him a coveted single vote from a panel of New York City judges.

After three seasons of hosting, Eddie Jackson decides it's now his time to compete against home cook Komal Montgomery. Ted Allen guest hosts as Eddie and Komal try to wing it in a battle of quail. Their fate is in the hands of a panel of judges that Ted finds on the streets of New York City, and if Komal can get one vote, she'll walk away with $5,000.
