Worst Cooks in America - Season 27 - Eps 1: Spoon Fed
Chef Anne Burrell and new mentor Tiffany Derry take on a fresh group of recruits in culinary boot camp, and these cooks are spoiled with a capital S! Accustomed to dining out and delivery apps, these sixteen recruits have never cooked a meal in their lives. Anne and Tiffany are ready to transform these coddled culinary novices into actual home cooks, but first they need to see what they are working with. To kick off the competition, the recruits must recreate their favorite takeout dish, giving the chefs a firsthand look at their cooking skills, or lack thereof. Then for the main dish cook, the recruits must replicate the chefs' steak and potato dinner. The cooks with potential will move on, but those who can't keep up will have to move out.
