With Rachael Ray beside her, Chef Anne Burrell faces a new challenge — celebrities who can't cook. They only have six weeks to transform seven pampered celebs into kitchen stars. To assess everyone's skills, Anne and Rachael host a potluck and find themselves tasting some very interesting dishes. After Anne and Rachael pick teams, one celebrity is sent back to Tinsel Town.

The celebrity recruits put their palates to the test in a blindfolded taste and identify game.
