It's a match made in culinary heaven as four chefs must tame wild game meat in every round and use a different bourbon to accent and complement their dishes.

The competing chefs work quickly to make appetisers from chewy candy and a canned sauce. Inspiring sweets in the dessert basket, including a nostalgic powder, keep the final two chefs on their toes.

The competing chefs are in for a surprise when they open the appetiser basket to find a peculiar pate. In round two, the competitors must work with a fish that they've never cooked before.

Creativity is crucial for the competing chefs trying to impress the judges, starting with deviled ham spread in the first basket. Sweet booza ice cream in the second basket is an unwelcome surprise for savoury entrée plates.

Four chefs embrace a sweet-and-sour theme and seek to harmonise opposite flavours on their plates. A furious first round has them racing to figure out what to do with a ready-to-serve soup and three other basket finds.

The competing chefs attack an appetiser basket that includes a classic Italian sauce and a simple sandwich. A popcorn product not available at movie theatres plays a starring role in round two.
