Chef Charbel: " I'm going with chicken and rice. My mom used to cook it the Lebanese way. I'm using basmati rice because I can cook basmati blindfolded. I want to share the same experience I used to have when I was a kid. My finished dish will be Lebanese spice basmati rice with grilled chicken, minced yogurt, and cucumber. Toasted nuts, finished with some fried parsley."

Judging

Gail Simmons "I though Charbel's rice was beautifully cooked and I loved the nuts and the texture."
