Worst Cooks in America Season 8 Episode 6 Blast From the Past

In this episode of Worst Cooks in America, titled "Blast From the Past," the remaining contestants are tasked with recreating classic dishes from the past. But before they can get started, they must first participate in a "taste it, make it" challenge where Chef Anne Burrell and Chef Tyler Florence blindfold them and have them identify various ingredients by taste alone. The top two performers in the challenge get to assign their fellow contestants to different classic dishes in the main challenge.

The classic dishes the contestants must prepare include tuna noodle casserole, chicken a la king, beef stroganoff, and Salisbury steak. Many of the contestants struggle with the recipes, either because they've never heard of them before or because they have bad memories associated with them. Others struggle with basic kitchen skills, like properly seasoning and cooking meat.

As they cook, Chef Anne and Chef Tyler offer tips and guidance, reminding the contestants to taste their food and adjust seasoning as needed. Some of the contestants take the advice to heart, while others continue to struggle with the basics.

Once the dishes are complete, they are presented to a panel of judges, who evaluate them based on taste and presentation. The judges include Chef Amanda Freitag, who is a regular judge on Chopped, and Joe Truex, who is a chef and culinary instructor.

In the end, one contestant is named the winner of the challenge, while another is sent home. The remaining contestants move on to the next round, where they'll continue to learn and grow as cooks under the guidance of Chef Anne and Chef Tyler.

Overall, "Blast From the Past" is a fun and challenging episode of Worst Cooks in America that tests the contestants' ability to adapt to classic recipes from a bygone era. It's a great reminder that even the most experienced cooks can always learn something new, and that there's always room for improvement in the kitchen.
