Rachael Ray and Guy Fieri each pick four children to mentor in cooking challenges in the series premiere. Their first task is to create a signature dish; and later, First Lady Michelle Obama makes a surprise appearance and asks the kid chefs to whip up a fresh and delicious lunch to be tasted by teen star Stefanie Scott.

Bringing the flavor is key to any dish, but Rachael and Guy up the ante by mashing up unforgettable tastes in creative ways. For their Pop Quiz, the kids square-off against each other while blindfolded as they try to guess a series of crazy mashed-up bites. This preps the kids for their Cook-Off Challenge inspired by the new Sony film, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs II: The kids must create extreme food mash-ups that look great and taste even better.

In the finale episode, eight kid chefs attempt to trick a room full of culinary superstars including Melissa d'Arabian, Eric Greenspan and Richard Blais as well as celebrity guest Jennie Garth, into thinking their food was made by real adult chefs. Afterward, Rachael and Guy will announce the winner of the competition: Everyone walks away improved as a rising chef, but only one kid will land his or her own show to debut on FoodNetwork.com right after the finale airs.
