We are witness to the final episode of the season: the finale of the competition. The show features four children as they battle it out for the honor of being the best kid chef in America as well as the $100,000 grand prize. The three judges strive to choose the best contestant as they battle each other for attention. As the competition gets brutal and one kid contestant is eliminated we discover touching stories from the tweens’ home life as well as the judges and host which leads to honest, self-reflective, and heartwarming revelations.
