Important distinctions. 9575061 The lab assistants get down to business explaining the scientific principles the chefs will need to cook with. 9575066 Hugh and Augustine, not quite best friends. 9575071 Carlin wants Naomi to stretch her culinary mind (get it because of elasticity). 9575076 Heidi might have theories if the chicken came before the egg, but it looks like Mary Sue wants her to hold off on the eggs for now. 9575081 Floyd is a hands-on teacher with his assistant. 9575086 Hugh and Augustine are slowly starting to warm up to each other. 9575091 Curtis checks in with the gents and their okra experiment. 9575096 Frangela needs feeding! And their lukewarm on what they got. 9575101 Floyd ponders an alternate universe where his dish would have been based on "The Mallard Reaction." 9575106 James and Ruth ask Floyd, "Where's the beef?" 9575111 Mr. Cardoz dazzles the crowd with his Beef Two Ways. 9575116 "Now which liquid caused the explosive reaction?" 9575121 Heidi might have some scientific answers about why James' bowtie is so great. 9575126 Mary Sue and Heidi seem to be right in sync. 9575131 Cheers! We hope this is the first time you've had to drink dessert out of a science beaker. 9575136 Floyd gives Padma and Curtis the hypothesis of why his dishes are so delicious. 9575141 Look who's running a well "oiled" demo. 9575146 One would think working with acidity would require more protective gear. 9575151 Padma looks pretty pleased that pizza is considered science. 9575156 Curtis lets Padma and James know his personal theorems and ideas. 9575161 Padma debates the merits of edible education. 9575166 James recalls the most delicious science experiment he's ever eaten. 9575171 The judges debate who "flunked" the Elimination Challenge. 9575176 Hugh explains that oil and vinegar are the married couple of the salad dressing world.
