Ep 4. Curiouser and Curiouser

In Be Our Chef season 1 episode 4, titled "Curiouser and Curiouser," the four remaining families compete in a Wonderland-inspired challenge. The episode kicks off with Angela Kinsey introducing the theme and task for the week, which involves creating a dish inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

The families are given a brief tour of the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland, during which they learn about the inspiration behind the park's Alice in Wonderland attraction, before they hit the kitchen to start cooking. For this challenge, the families are asked to create a family-style dinner using a variety of ingredients, such as pork, potatoes, apples, and mushrooms.

As the families start prepping, they're faced with a few curveballs, including having to substitute key ingredients due to availability issues and dealing with a last-minute change to their cooking plan. Plus, the clock is ticking, and the families only have a few hours to complete their dishes, including a dessert inspired by the Cheshire Cat.

Once time is up, the families present their dishes to the judges, Chef Amanda Freitag and Chef Maneet Chauhan. The judges are impressed by the creativity and flavors of each dish, but ultimately only one family can win the challenge. The winning family's dish will be featured on the menu at the Mad Tea Party attraction at Magic Kingdom Park.

In addition to the competition, the episode also includes a touching moment in which Angela Kinsey surprises one of the families with a message from a loved one who couldn't be there in person. The judges also share personal stories about their own family dinner traditions, adding a heartfelt touch to the episode.

Overall, Be Our Chef season 1 episode 4 is a fun and festive episode that showcases the families' culinary skills and creativity as they tackle a challenging and whimsical theme. With high stakes and emotional moments, it's a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who loves Disney magic.
