Chef Anne Burrell and co-host Jeff Mauro welcome a fresh batch of celebrity recruits to culinary boot camp, hoping to take these '90s stars from culinary duds to all that and a bag of chips in the kitchen. In order to choose their teams, the chefs need the 411 on what these recruits can and can't do in the kitchen, so Anne and Jeff ask the celebrities to cook a potluck dish.
