Alton's Challenge, Part 1 (34x9)

Air date: Oct 10, 2017

The Challenge continues as four bold new chefs take on Alton Brown's baskets on a quest for $50,000. To kick off round one, Alton demonstrates the mad science of champagne and the competitors embrace a fermentation theme. A strange, stringy Japanese specialty is the talk of entree round, then an unusual cake inspires some unusual choices in the dessert round.
