In this episode, host Eddie Jackson surprises home cook Jessie Flores with an unexpected challenge: a wild mushroom cook-off against Chef Stephanie Izard.
Jessie Flores, a talented home cook, is in for the surprise of a lifetime when Eddie Jackson reveals that she will be competing against Chef Stephanie Izard. The theme of the cook-off centers around wild mushrooms, adding an element of creativity and uniqueness to the dishes they create.
The pressure is on for both Jessie and Chef Izard to craft their best mushroom-centric meals. After they have presented their culinary creations, the dishes are judged by a diverse panel of six individuals from the streets of New York City, who blindly taste and critique the food.
The voting process adds a twist, as Jessie only needs to receive one vote in her favor to claim the $5,000 prize.
