Los Angeles born-and-raised Jeremy Strubel is SoCal through and through. The neighborhood guy will match up against BierBeisl chef-owner Bernhard Mairinger, whose talents are just as imposing as his six foot seven inch Austrian frame. But their abilities will be tested by probably the most disparate collection of ingredients to date--haggis, chestnuts and jackfruit! Chefs Strubel and Mairinger will need every second of their 60 minutes to plate dishes for judges Lisa Arch and Quinn Hatfield and celebrity timekeeper Jason Lee. The contenders are in their corners. Ring the bell!

It's a high-stakes match between chefs and friends Neil Shuman and Tim Abell for the prize of saying "Look mom, I won!" Will Neil's professional culinary training beat out Tim's time spent as a gourmet truck chef? All bets are on as actress Erika Christensen and Amy Scattergood judge their kitchen battle with manila clams and Berkshire pork loin.
