Ep 2. Orange You Glad It's Brunch?

In the second episode of Food Network Star Kids season 1, titled Orange You Glad It's Brunch?, the young competitors are tasked with creating their own spin on a brunch classic - orange juice. The episode begins with the contestants meeting their mentor, Tia Mowry, who gives them tips on how to elevate their orange juice recipes and reminds them that this challenge is all about creativity.

The kids get to work right away, each coming up with their own unique recipe. Some opt for a traditional orange juice with a twist, while others come up with more unconventional creations, like orange juice smoothies and even orange juice cocktails.

As they work, the judges - Tia Mowry, Donal Skehan, and Jamika Pessoa - circulate around the kitchen, offering advice and tasting the various concoctions. They are impressed with the creativity on display, but also note that some of the recipes fall flat.

Once the juices are completed, it's time for the tasting and presentation portion of the challenge. The contestants are tasked with presenting their orange juice recipes to the judges, explaining their thought process and unique ingredients.

Overall, the judges are pleased with the results, but a few contestants stand out from the pack. Some impress with their presentation skills, while others exceed expectations with their unique flavor combinations.

In the end, one contestant wins the challenge and gets to pick which ingredient the group will be using for the next challenge. Meanwhile, the rest of the group must compete in a dessert challenge featuring oranges as the star ingredient.

As the episode concludes, tension builds as the judges evaluate the young chefs' desserts. Who will come out on top and move on to the next round, and who will be sent home? Tune in to Orange You Glad It's Brunch? to find out!
