Four cooks, both amateurs and professionals, are ready to battle it out in a frittata showdown on Cooks vs. Cons season 3 episode 5, titled A Lotta Frittata. Host Geoffrey Zakarian welcomes two chefs and two home cooks to the kitchen, ready to put their culinary skills to the test in a high-stakes competition.
The judges for this episode include restaurateur Drew Nieporent and food blogger Dzung Lewis, who are tasked with determining which of the four contestants are the real cooks and which are the amateurs posing as professionals. With a $10,000 prize on the line for the winner, the pressure is on for each contestant to impress the judges with their frittata-making abilities.
The first challenge sees the contestants creating a classic frittata with bacon, potatoes, and onions, a dish that may seem simple but requires skill to execute perfectly. While some contestants are confident in their abilities, others struggle with basic techniques such as flipping the frittata without breaking it apart.
In the second challenge, the contestants are given a mystery ingredient to incorporate into their frittata. The ingredient is revealed to be corn, which proves to be a challenge for some of the contestants who have never before cooked with this ingredient. As the contestants scramble to come up with unique and flavorful frittata recipes, the judges closely observe their techniques and taste each dish with a discerning palate.
Ultimately, only one contestant can be named the winner of A Lotta Frittata, and it remains to be seen whether the judges will be able to correctly identify the cooks from the cons. With twists and turns throughout the episode, viewers will be on the edge of their seats as they watch the contestants sweat it out in the kitchen in this exhilarating episode of Cooks vs. Cons.
