Cutthroat After-Show: Grill

It's not unusual for Cutthroat Kitchen challenges to demand that chefs think outside the culinary box when it comes to prepping and cooking their dishes while under the burden of sabotages. After all, success in these contests comes to those who are resourceful and willing to go to any lengths necessary to finish the battle — and host Alton Brown did just that tonight.

On the latest installment of the After-Show, following tonight's Heat 3 of the Camp Cutthroat 2 tournament, he and judge Simon Majumdar found themselves with one hand apiece "locked" in a boulder, just like two chefs were in Round 1 of the episode. That meant that while Simon's sole remaining hand was left to cook, Alton's was on hand to prep the cheese, bread and produce he found in his basket, then ultimately turn the ingredients over to Simon. One loaf of bread, one knife and one hand — how to slice in those conditions? If you're Alton, the answer is simple: Just sit on the bread to keep it still. He indeed perched himself atop the loaf on the prep table, leaving just enough of the bread exposed to make a few slices. And as for that tricky tomato? Gently suspend it between your legs, of course. "This is a very sensitive operation," Alton joked, taking care to keep the knife away from his exposed knees.

Click the play button on the video above to see what Alton and Simon prepared within their allotted time, and check out Alton's impressive handy prep work under the pressures of sabotage.
