In the latest episode of Wildcard Kitchen, host Eric Adjepong challenges comfort food chefs Eddie Jackson, Molly Yeh, and Damaris Phillips to get creative with pistachios, guanciale, and peaches. The pressure is on as they compete to win $5,000 and showcase their culinary skills in a high-stakes cook-off.
The first round of the competition calls for the chefs to create a hot dish using pistachios. The vibrant green nuts add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the dish, giving it a unique twist. Each chef must think outside the box and come up with a creative way to incorporate pistachios into their recipe.
Next, the chefs are tasked with updating a childhood classic with guanciale, a type of Italian cured meat similar to bacon. This challenge requires the chefs to put a modern spin on a nostalgic dish, while staying true to the flavors and elements that make it a childhood favorite.
In the final round, the chefs must whip up a late-night snack meal using peaches. This challenge pushes the chefs to create a satisfying and delicious dish that can be enjoyed late at night, combining the sweetness of peaches with savory ingredients for the perfect balance of flavors.
As the competition unfolds, viewers are treated to a visual feast of mouthwatering dishes and innovative cooking techniques. From creative flavor combinations to stunning plating, the chefs pull out all the stops to impress the judges and secure the grand prize.

DUMB SHOW…DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL…
My husband and I had a wonderful date night this past Saturday at Chef Eric Adjepong's restaurant Elmina. So. Good. Chef came around and greeted everyone. It was an experience. Interesting to see this video pop up on my feed. I’ve never watched before and only clicked on the video because the host looked oddly familiar.
Aww…so happy to see Molly competing. Didn't think she'd be able to beat Damaris since I've never seen Molly on any show but hers, whereas Damaris has judged and competed a lot. Great job, Molly! Now go compete on TOC and other Food Network shows and show 'em how it's done!
