It’s an emotional evening as 42 year old bus driver Ray Minchio puts his heart, sweat and tears into an Italian themed dinner party on night 3 of a 5 day food fight. Upon arrival the guests can tell that nice guy Ray is suffering from a serious case of self-doubt. As Ray goes off to put the finishing touches on his appetizer the guests head down to explore his man cave complete with built in bar. At the table Ray scores some points when he serves some smoked salmon rolls. Then the guests await the arrival of the main course; Eggplant Parmigiana with sautéed chicken and vegetables, but become increasingly concerned with the noises of distress coming from the kitchen. Ray manages to pull though just enough to finish his night with a delicious Tiramisu before breaking into tears at the table. Will Ray’s fear of failure be a self-fulfilling prophesy? Or will this Italian softy be the humble hero?
