Host Eric Adjepong welcomes three talented fruit experts from across the United States to challenge Chef Alex Guarnaschelli in a battle for the best fruit dish. In round one, the chefs seal their fate by choosing the ingredients everyone will be using, and their pick could give them an advantage or help Alex dominate the competition. After judges Troy Johnson and Lee Anne Wong send one chef home, the remaining competitors amp up their produce game in an effort to claim up to $15,000.
