Alton's Maniacal Baskets: Finale

Alton Brown’s gauntlet concludes with a $50,000 finale. Chefs begin with pickled pig lips and gooseneck barnacles, testing their mastery. The Entrée round demands culinary perfection as contestants use meat from a roasted lamb head to pair with capon and chocolate-covered onions. Finally, the Dessert basket: durian, vegan ham, and kale candy canes.

The show’s own verdict is on its page.
