America's Test Kitchen: The Next Generation

This episode is all about kid-friendly food! For the Task Challenge, each cook will have to create a lunchbox meal inspired by a global cuisine. After the cooks have made lunch for the kids, it's time for dinner! In the Test Challenge, our contestants will pair up for the first team challenge, and cook family-friendly dishes using one protein in two separate ways.

Say hello to the fabulous final five! The stakes have never been higher as our remaining home cooks inch closer to that incredible grand prize. For the Task Challenge, our cooks must prepare a three-minute cooking demo sharing how to repurpose a dish gone wrong. For the Test Challenge, the contestants must upgrade and elevate a classic ATK recipe. No easy task when it comes to these iconic dishes!

The final four will be joined by an all-star cast of judges who have seen their progress: Dan Souza, Jack Bishop, Karen Akunowicz, and Elle Simone Scott. This week, there is no Task Challenge but instead a mega Test Challenge where the home cooks must create a show stopping three-course meal for the judges during a grueling, marathon cook.

The grand finale is here! In the final challenge, three remaining home cooks must make two dishes from their future cookbook, photograph them with a pro, host a seven-minute on-camera demo, and pitch the judges on why they deserve to win this opportunity. A cookbook, role in the cast and $100,000 prize are on the line! Jack Bishop, Elle Scott Simone, and Dan Souza join forces to select a winner.
