Family Food Showdown

Self-proclaimed "Kebab Twins" Sadaf and Darya grew up in their parents' Persian restaurants and manage multiple locations across Los Angeles. The Moy brothers bring the unique flavors of their Pacific Island heritage to their thriving Portland food carts. Host Valerie Bertinelli challenges the two teams to make a rice dinner that represents their family, handheld sweet and savory eats and a protein swap dinner. Judges Christian Petroni, Jet Tila and Molly Yeh choose the winner.

Three generations of chefs inspired by Grandma's Old World recipes face off against a tight-knit family of young Mexican women with their own family recipes. The Steiner family has roots in French and Moroccan cuisine, with young executive chef Josh serving many of his grandmother's recipes at his own restaurant. Sisters Bianca and Irlanda, along with their cousin, Salma, grew up with traditional Mexican recipes passed down through generations, and now they run a catering business. Host Valerie Bertinelli challenges the teams to make brunches that represent their families, hearty meat and potatoes meals and their best guilty pleasure dishes, and judges Antonia Lofaso, Bricia Lopez and Johnny Spero decide which team blows them away.

A family of competitive cooks who claim they can cook anything must put their money where their mouth is as they face off against a family that represents six different cultures between the three of them. The Holters are self-taught chefs who have taken the world of competitive cooking by storm, placing in the World Food Championships, Culinary Fight Club and countless barbecue competitions. The Mills brothers opened a restaurant fusing their Korean and Jamaican roots, and one brother's wife added her heritage of Honduran, Native American, Sicilian and African cuisine to the mix. Host Valerie Bertinelli challenges the teams to make a fusion dish that represents their family, a burger and side combo and a spicy guilty pleasure, while judges Kardea Brown and the Voltaggio brothers, Bryan and Michael, choose the winner.

Mama Manatakis and her two daughters are proud of their Greek heritage and the dishes that have been in the family for generations. With his wife and daughter, Larry White runs a family restaurant serving up Southern scratch-made classics learned from Larry's grandmother. Both families have a legacy to uphold as host Valerie Bertinelli challenges them to make a surf-and-turf dinner, a budget family meal and a smothered dish. Judges Jamika Pessoa, Christian Petroni and Molly Yeh decide which team gets to leave the kitchen with $10,000.
