In the search to find the best amateur home cook in America, only a few more hopefuls have the opportunity to present their signature dish to judges Gordon Ramsay, Joe Bastianich and Graham Elliot. Some chefs wow the judging panel with their raw talent and many fall flat, but one thing is for certain: all of the home cooks endure an intense grilling. The remaining contestants pour their hearts into their creations in order to convince the judges they have the potential to take the culinary world by storm.
