Worst Cooks in America
Some of the country's worst home cooks compete in this elimination series. The last two standing have the chance to cook for culinary critics and win a cash prize.
Can It Really Be This Bad?
16 of the worst cooks in America — including a sportscaster, a feisty granny and a professional balloon artist — arrive at boot camp with dreams of putting their kitchen nightmares behind them.
Fish Are Food, Not Friends
Mentors Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence introduce the recruits to magical and mysterious kitchen gadgets. Later, boot camp transforms into a fish market where the recruits learn to fillet and prepare fish.
Show Me the Vegetables!
Boot camp is transformed into a game show, "Family Food," and the teams face off in trivia rounds and culinary tasks that test their knowledge.
Game Day!
Recruits compete in cornhole and darts to determine flavors for their craveable game-day creations. For the main dish challenge, mentors Anne Burrell and Tyler Florence teach the recruits how to make irresistible stuffed burgers.
Leftovers Again?
The recruits learn how to create new dishes from common leftover ingredients, then Anne and Tyler leave them alone for the first time to make pizza from scratch. Some pizzas impress the chefs, while others get boxed out.
Sweets for My Sweetie
It's Valentine's Day at boot camp and the recruits are learning how to make molten chocolate cakes and multi-component desserts.
Sausage Party
Anne and Tyler secretly watch the boot camp recruits as they learn the ugly truth of sausage making and present their dishes for a potluck dinner.
Can You Please Pas-Ta Sauce
The recruits attempt to make pasta from scratch with a little help from Italian nonnas who have years of experience.
Flair Flair Everywhere
The final four recruits compete to represent Anne and Tyler in the finale. First, they learn high-flying bartending tricks. Then, they must cook a dish and perform a flashy tableside demonstration for some very special guests.
The Final Countdown
With coaching from Anne and Tyler, each of the final two recruits must cook a three-course meal for a panel of culinary experts. Judges Paulette Goto, Jordan Andino and Michael Chernow determine the $25,000 grand prize winner.
