Episode Overview
In this episode's Quickfire Challenge, the chefs are tasked with crafting a dish that incorporates Campbell’s Soup, judged by Padma and guest judge Dale Talde. The competitors face an unexpected twist during the Elimination Challenge, as they won't be grocery shopping; instead, they'll harvest their ingredients directly from the trees along Oregon’s Fruit Loop. Their challenge is to create a savory fruit dish without any vegetables. Joining Padma, Tom, and Gail at the judges' table are Melissa King and Carrie Baird.
