In Cutthroat Kitchen season 15 episode 7, titled "Do You Really Wonton Hurt Me?," the competition is fierce as four chefs are tasked with creating the ultimate dish using the ingredient of wonton wrappers. Host Alton Brown introduces the sabotages, which include a cramped cooking station, limited access to utensils, and a requirement to wear finger puppets while cooking.
The first challenge involves making wonton soup, but the chefs must first navigate a Chinese dragon obstacle course to gather their ingredients. The second challenge sees the chefs creating wonton tacos, but they must first spin around in a circle 10 times before beginning to cook. The third and final challenge involves making fried wontons, but the chefs must use a miniature deep fryer and chopsticks instead of traditional utensils.
As always, the chefs bid on these sabotages using their allotted $25,000, and the judging panel, consisting of celebrity guest judges and Alton himself, determines the winner based on taste, presentation, and ability to overcome the sabotages. The chefs must also be strategic in their bidding and use their remaining funds wisely to ensure they have all the necessary ingredients to complete their dishes.
In the end, only one chef will emerge as the champion of "Do You Really Wonton Hurt Me?," earning the $25,000 prize and bragging rights as the ultimate Cutthroat Kitchen chef. Tune in to see who rises to the top and who falls victim to the whims of the sabotages.
