Big Top Boot Camp

Boot camp becomes a carnival as chefs Anne Burrell and Gabe Bertaccini lead their teams through a circus-themed extravaganza. First, it's a scavenger hunt under the big top. Then, in the skill drill, recruits whip up a circus-worthy treat -- churros! For the main dish challenge, the recruits create a full dinner-and-entertainment experience. The show must go on, but for some recruits, the curtains will close.
