In the premiere episode, Anne and Jeff welcome a fresh batch of celebrity recruits to boot camp – these stars may have won over hearts in the 90's, but when it comes to cooking - they don't win over anyone's taste buds.  In this battle to transform from culinary duds to "all that and a bag of chips" in the kitchen, Anne and Jeff must first get the 411 on skill levels they are working with.  For a baseline challenge, the celebrities cook a potluck dinner and teams are then selected.  In the main dish challenge, the recruits are tasked with making elevated versions of classic tv dinners – and while some dishes deserve to be syndicated, some should be cancelled.

It's time for the celebs to shred some serious gnar when they discover boot camp has been transformed into WC Peaks, a winter chalet. The recruits compete in a series of winter-inspired culinary games, and then mentors Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro task the recruits with making a classic apres-ski snack, loaded waffles. In the main dish challenge, the chefs demonstrate classic European schnitzel with potato sides. The two recruits with the least successful dishes must compete in the blind elimination challenge and attempt to cook their way into another week of boot camp.
