They are preparing five dishes in four hours: bruschetta with braised artichoke, guanciale and chicken livers, roasted beet salad, pizza Romana, Monday meatballs, and grapefruit sorbetto. Their guest tasters are Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo, executive chefs and co-owners of Frankies Spuntino, one of the most well known and renowned restaurants in Brooklyn specializing in rustic Italian cuisine. They are known as two chefs who will tell Anna and Kristina exactly what they think. Anna and Kristina are most concerned about making them good meatballs as the Chef Frankies are meatball champions of Brooklyn. Anna however is looking forward most to the pizza, her favorite food in the world, and which they hope to impress by making both the dough and sauce from scratch. In addition, they test different styles of meat grinders. And they get a lesson in how to fillet an anchovy. Written by
