In the seaside community of Channel Islands, California, chefs Hugo Miranda and Ben Diaz take on Penny Davidi and Michele Ragussis for the $5,000 prize. For the Flavor of the Market challenge, teams must transform a Strawberry Festival favorite, strawberry shortcake or strawberry funnel cake, creating an entirely new dish that will surprise and delight third-generation strawberry farmer Jason Tamai. In Feed the Market, the chefs must create original dishes highlighting seafood they buy right off the dock.
