In each webisode, these chefs-in-training face a new culinary challenge that put their taste buds to the test and allow them to flaunt their cooking expertise. Teaming up with celebrity chef and co-host of ABC's "The Chew" Carla Hall (Top Chef), Bounty plays an integral role in all 15 webisodes, cleaning up the messes these amateur chefs leave behind as they let their creative juices flow. With guidance from Chef Hall and guest mentors, Chef Aaron Sanchez, Chef John Besh, and Chef Elizabeth Karmel, these Super Chefs will be sautéing, baking and chopping their way closer to the $5,000 prize.
