-Before long, time is up, and the judges taste each dish.
-Top dish from Team Millennials: Kamay! Her fried chicken thigh with Haitian red bean sauce and rice reminds her of her mom’s special cooking. The judges love the flavor and heat.
-Top dish from Team Gen Z: Adam! His fried peach pie with lemon basil curd and cream is cooked perfectly and filled with delicious flavor.
-Top dish from Team Gen X: Sunshine! Her lamb shank with veggies and mashed potatoes remind her of her grandparents. The dish tastes amazing and flavorful.
-Top Dish from Team Baby Boomer: Rebecka: Her blackberry hoisin meatloaf and sides is so good that even Joe likes…even though he hates meatloaf and hasn’t eaten it since The Brady Bunch aired.
-Rebecka wins the challenge, immunity and saves all the Boomers from elimination.
-Worst Dish from Team Gen Z: Murt! His chicken mango curry with rice is a mess and under seasoned….and tastes like spicy baby food, as per Joe.
-Worst Dish from Team Millennial: Si! His Vietnamese sweet and sour soup with lobster and rice looks pretty, but it very ‘out there’ and overcooked. The broth saved the dish. It had too many ideas that were decent, but poorly executed.
-Worst Dish of Team Gen X: Daniela! Special report interrupted what she made.
-Si is eliminated.
-More next week, stay tuned.
