Pigging Out!

Getting piggy with it for Halloween, the chefs have to cook with snouts in the first round. Then with fear in their Halloween-loving hearts, the competitors open up the second basket to find a dangerously hot ingredient and popping candy. The judges are in for a main course that is both frightening and delightfully surprising. The finalists pull out all the stops to make lollipops and cereal bars into devilishly delicious desserts.

Meal[]

Appetizer[]

Ingredients: Lacinato Kale, Finger Limes, Gummy Tarantulas, Pig Snout

Sean made Pig Snout Croquette with Kale Salad. Sean was the only one who did anything creative with the pig snout by making something crispy and beautiful. However, he didn't really season the croquettes. Also, the vinaigrette he made for his salad was delicious, but it was lacking seasoning and fat.

Kyle made Kale Salad with Tarantula Reduction. She did a great job on the kale, it was vivid green and cooked nicely However, Kyle's gummy tarantula sauce was cloyingly sweet and the Pig Snout Cracklings she made were gummy.

Pete made Warm Panzanella Salad with Chopped Gummies. The judges loved the flavor and crispiness of the pig snout. However, his presentation needed a lot more finesse and he just threw the gummy tarantulas on the plate.

Brittanny made Kale and Snout Crostini with Tarantula Sauce. Chris didn't have any Pig Snout on the plate. On the upside, the way she cooked the kale and put it on to her crostini was nice. Also, her Tarantula Sauce was the best of anyone.

In the end, the judges decided to send Chef Pete home for not magically transforming his ingredients.
