In the premiere episode, Smoke Show home cooks compete in the Crowd-Pleaser with inspiration from around the world, and the Chef's Fridge round sees the home cooks take a deep dive into chef Todd Perrin's fridge. In the Restaurant-Worthy round, chef Christine Cushing asks the final cooks to make a dish inspired by their childhoods. This season, Think Turkey stocks the pantry with turkey in each episode and sponsors a Restaurant-Worthy challenge inspired by chef Mark McEwan where home cooks are challenged to make turkey the star of the dish. The cook with the best dish of the final round will take home a $5,000 cash prize, courtesy of ThinkTurkey.ca. For the full list of chefs featured this season, please visit foodnetwork.ca.
