In Be Our Chef season 1 episode 5, titled "Beyond the Reef," the remaining four families continue to compete in the kitchen. The episode takes place in a unique location as the families travel to Aulani, a Disney resort in Hawaii. The challenge for this episode is to create a dish inspired by Hawaiian cuisine while incorporating local ingredients. The winning team gets to have their dish added to the resort's menu.

As the families arrive, they are greeted by Hawaiian music and dancers. The contestants are excited to be in a new location and are eager to start cooking. The host of the show, Angela Kinsey, tells them that they will be using a traditional Hawaiian oven called an imu to cook their meats. They will also be using fresh fish, fruits, and vegetables from the local market.

The first challenge is to shop for their ingredients at a local market. The families must take into consideration the flavors and ingredients that are prominent in Hawaiian cuisine. They must also make sure that they are buying fresh produce and proteins that will pair well with the imu.

Once they have their ingredients, they head to the beach to start cooking. The imu is a pit oven that is used to cook meats and vegetables in a traditional Hawaiian way. The families must prepare their proteins and wrap them in layers of banana leaves before burying them in the imu. The imu is covered with sand and left to cook for several hours.

While the imu is cooking, the families must prepare their fish dishes and sides. They must utilize the fresh ingredients they have purchased at the market and create dishes that are both flavorful and visually appealing. They are also under a time constraint and must make sure that they are cooking their dishes in a timely manner.

As the families start to present their dishes to the judges, they are nervous but excited to see how their food tastes. The judges evaluate their dishes based on taste and presentation. The winning team is selected based on how well they incorporated the Hawaiian flavors and ingredients into their dishes.

The winning team gets to have their dish added to the resort's menu, a huge accomplishment for any chef. The losing team is up for elimination, and one family will be sent home.

Overall, Be Our Chef season 1 episode 5 is an exciting episode that takes place in a beautiful location.
