Supermarket Stakeout: What Would Alex Make? season 3 episode 3, titled "Alex: No Tortilla," is a culinary competition show that pits four chefs against each other in a race to see who can make the best dish using only items sourced from shoppers outside a local grocery store. Hosted by Alex Guarnaschelli, the show features contestants rushing to form alliances with shoppers and purchase ingredients quickly before heading to their cooking stations to create a winning dish.
In this episode, the contestants face an extra challenge when Guarnaschelli announces that a vital ingredient to the competition, tortillas, will not be available. This leads to a flurry of activity as chefs scramble to find alternate ways of creating wraps for their dishes. Contestants are then given 30 minutes to purchase their ingredients and prepare their dishes, while being constantly watched and judged by Guarnaschelli, who provides helpful tips and critiques to the chefs throughout the competition.
One chef chooses to make a sophisticated, gourmet take on a gyro wrap, using a tender cut of lamb and homemade tzatziki sauce, while another opts for a more classic take on the wrap, using grilled chicken and fresh vegetables in a tomato tortilla. The third contestant takes a more experimental approach, using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas and creating a dish with vibrant and unconventional flavors, such as charred corn and pickled peppers. The final contestant opts for a vegetarian option, creating a bold and spicy falafel wrap.
As the dishes are presented to Guarnaschelli for judging, tensions run high as each chef hopes to win the Grand Prize of $10,000. Guarnaschelli offers praise for some of the chefs, but criticism for others, as she evaluates their creativity, execution, and overall taste. Ultimately, only one chef can be named the winner, while the others are eliminated from the competition. Who will win and be named the ultimate Supermarket Stakeout champion?
With its fast-paced atmosphere, high-energy competition, and expert culinary commentary from Guarnaschelli, Supermarket Stakeout: What Would Alex Make? season 3 episode 3 is sure to satisfy both cooking enthusiasts and reality TV fans alike.
