Chefs Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence gather the celebrity recruits to play a unique taste-and-describe game with delicious comfort foods. After testing their taste buds, actress Melissa Peterman arrives to help with the main dish challenge, as the recruits must create their own unique meals that include a protein, side dish and dessert. The two celebrities with the worst dishes battle it out in the blind elimination challenge.

The two remaining celebrities face their final challenge: cooking a restaurant-quality meal for chefs Rocco DiSpirito and Aarthi Sampath and Tony Award winner Cady Huffman. However, before the celebrities impress the panel of culinary experts, they must first impress their biggest fans. With coaching from their mentors Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence, all the skills the celebrities have learned over the past eight weeks are put to the test. One recruit is named the winner and awarded $25,000 for the charity of their choice.
