When the young chefs have to butcher and cook snakes in the appetiser round, will they be too squeamish to let their skills shine through?

Some sugary items in the first basket have the competitors wondering how to create balanced fish dishes; time management issues create big problems for one junior chef.

Rings of meat and doughnut hybrids find their way to the grill pans in round one; the judges are happy to see a select piece of beef in the second basket; fruit on the grill in the dessert round.

Three kid chefs battle it out one last time to win a $20,000 culinary scholarship and their own Foodnetwork.com Web series.

The young chefs get 30 minutes to cook minute steak in the appetiser round. Breaking down a bird is part of the challenge in round two, along with figuring out what to do with some cool ketchup.

Guy Fieri welcomes the four remaining chefs for epic semifinal battles; the two left standing face off in a final head-to-head championship battle, with the winner taking home the championship belt and $100,000 in cash.
