In Baltimore, Tyler Florence brings together three of the seaport's star chefs to compete in a local Venezuelan hot spot. In the first round, a Mongolian grill challenges their creativity when they're tasked with using the secret ingredients piri piri, kombu and bone-in pork chops. Things really heat up in the final round when creating one dish using sauerkraut, horseradish and catfish determines the city's Bite Club Champ.

In Dallas, flavors collide when Tyler Florence brings Mexican, Laotian and American chefs to a local Mediterranean hot spot to duke it out for the title of Bite Club Champion. In round one, the chefs use a giant wood-fired grill to tackle poblano peppers and pancetta. But time is not on their side for the second challenge when they must cook dishes combining ruby red grapefruit, quail eggs and brisket in under 30 minutes.
