The kids are given retro dishes to taste and then recreate with a modern spin. Also: they have to use Southern ingredients to cook with during a backyard BBQ challenge, judged by G. Garvin.
Season 2 comes to a close with the kid chefs hosting their own food festival, during which they serve their signature dishes and perform a live demo for the crowd and judges, who include Curtis Stone, Brian Malarkey and Haylie Duff.
