11 CHEFS REMAIN AND SUSTAINABILITY BECOMES A WEAPON, ON "AMERICA'S CULINARY CUP," WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18
"Call Aunt Quail" - The remaining chefs leave the pantry behind to harvest the ingredients that will decide their fate and then return to the Penthouse to face the Sustainability Commandment. Their challenge: transform farm‑fresh produce alongside hyper‑sustainable ingredients like ants and mussels into bold, elevated dishes. When the scores are tallied, the bottom two chefs are pushed into a ruthless head‑to‑head, cooking one final time using only discarded scraps and leftovers.
AMERICA'S CULINARY CUP airs Wednesday, March 18 (9:30-10:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.
