Ep 4. Knife, Knife Baby

Cutthroat Kitchen season 10 episode 4, titled "Knife, Knife Baby," is a high-stakes culinary competition that pits four talented chefs against each other in a series of challenges designed to test their skills, creativity, and ability to handle unexpected setbacks.

In this episode, host Alton Brown welcomes a new group of ambitious chefs to the Cutthroat Kitchen arena, where they will have to navigate a series of obstacles and sabotages in order to emerge victorious. As always, each chef starts off with $25,000 in prize money that they can use to bid on various advantages (or disadvantages) throughout the competition.

The first challenge is a classic Cutthroat Kitchen test of culinary prowess: the chefs must create a sandwich in just 15 minutes using whatever ingredients are available to them. However, as always, there's a catch: one chef must cook using only a knife and a fork, while another chef must work blindfolded. The other two contestants are allowed to use their full range of cooking tools and techniques, but they'll have to navigate around the obstacles thrown in their way by their adversaries.

Next up is the entrée round, where the chefs are tasked with creating a dish using a whole fish. However, before they can even start cooking, they must first navigate a "floor is lava" style obstacle course that forces them to balance on narrow beams and climb shaky ladders while carrying their ingredients. Once they make it through the obstacle course, the chefs must then cook their fish dishes while dealing with various sabotages, such as having to cook on a miniature stove or wearing an oversized apron that restricts their movement.

The final round is dessert, where the remaining two chefs must create a dish using a classic candy as their inspiration. However, they must also contend with sabotages such as cooking in a wok or using a giant whisk that makes it difficult to measure out ingredients precisely. In the end, only one chef will emerge victorious and take home the grand prize, while the others are left to ponder what went wrong and where they can improve for the next round of Cutthroat Kitchen.

Overall, "Knife, Knife Baby" is an intense and entertaining episode of Cutthroat Kitchen that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish. With its creative challenges, unexpected twists, and fierce competition, it's a must-watch for anyone who loves food, cooking, and high-stakes competition shows.
