In this episode of Worst Cooks in America season 3, titled "Going Global," the recruits are challenged to create dishes from around the world. With the guidance of their chefs, Anne Burrell and Robert Irvine, they will attempt to make dishes that represent various regions and cultures.
The episode starts with the recruits being introduced to their challenge for the day, and they are handed a cookbook filled with global recipes. The chefs then divide them into two teams: Team Anne and Team Robert. Each team is tasked with creating three dishes from different regions around the world.
The recruits have to work together to decide who will be responsible for each dish. Some of them take charge easily, while others struggle with the organizational aspect of the challenge. The teams have two and a half hours to prepare and cook their dishes, and they must also present them in a visually appealing way.
As the recruits begin their preparations, the chefs point out some basic techniques that they should be using. Anne reminds them of the importance of seasoning and how to build flavor in their dishes. Robert goes over different cooking methods and how to properly cook proteins.
One of the recruits on Team Anne struggles when making the Thai dish, and she admits to never having tasted Thai food before. She is relieved when Anne comes over to help her with her preparation and teaches her how to taste as she goes along.
Another recruit on Team Robert is clearly out of her element when making the Japanese dish. She is visibly frustrated and overwhelmed. Robert notices her struggle and comes over to lend a hand and show her how to properly cut a cucumber for the dish.
The clock is ticking, and the teams are starting to feel the pressure. But they are determined to finish their dishes on time and make them look as good as they taste. When the time is up, the chefs taste and judge the dishes.
The teams sit down for the judges' feedback, and Anne and Robert give them both positive and constructive criticism. They point out where the recruits did well and where they could improve. Some of the recruits are surprised at how well their dishes turned out, while others are disappointed in themselves.
In the end, one team is declared the winner, and the other is sent to the elimination round. As the credits roll, the recruits are left wondering what challenges await them next and whether they have what it takes to become better cooks.
Overall, "Going Global" is an entertaining and educational episode of Worst Cooks in America.
