Chef Antonia Lofaso sets off the fireworks as she challenges the chefs to create delicious summer eats that revolve around America's favorite summer holiday -- the 4th of July. After chefs Eric Adjepong and Brian Malarkey have a corn shuck-off, the teams create an all-American party platter that represents their coast while only being able to use ingredients they can fit in a beach cooler. For the second battle, the lowest two chefs from the losing team will have fight for survival against their own teammate by creating the ultimate beach burger. In the end, one chef will be eliminated, and their all-American party will end in tears.
