Matt Roush says...
The cooking competition heads south for its 23rd season, staging its first Quickfire Challenge and introducing 15 new contestants at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, with NASCAR champs Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson helping decide the winner. Under a broiling sun and 90-degree temps, teams of three race to make and plate a dish before a car finishes its 23rd lap. From there, it’s on to the first Elimination Challenge, where each chef puts their own stamp on a local food staple: the sweet potato in its many varieties. The stakes are high because in the first two episodes, the unlucky chef asked to pack their knives and go won’t even get to play in the “Last Chance Kitchen.”
