After the first dinner, the five assess the others not as competition but as people.
Amy Pagnucco is second on the list to host the dinner party. Her Asian-fusion menu consists of sangria or G&Ts as the welcome drink, ginger carrot soup and Thai rolls as the appetizers, sesame ginger grilled flank steak as the main course, and pistachio ice cream and brownie sandwiches for dessert. Most of Amy's guests believe the menu is an ambitious one, but they aren't sure if she can pull it off, as they see her as the unsophisticated small town girl from the Soo. Getting too involved in the dinner conversation may prove to be a costly error for Amy, as is to use a burnt ingredient. Much of that conversation is seen as a tangent to real life for some. And Amy may be glad that her guests aren't scoring her on what they believe the quality of her artwork.
