This episode of Top Chef All-Stars was filled with kids, dinosaur references and a whole lotta sass (particularly from Jen)!
The chefs were surprised to see "pop icon" Joe Jonas, better known as "the hot one" of the Jonas Brother band, in their kitchen as they entered to received instructions for their Quickfire challenge. He told the chefs they must create a snack for kids attending the NYC Museum of Natural History's "Night at the Museum" sleepover (as in, the museum from that movie with Ben Stiller and the little monkey).
After coming up with mostly sugar-laden, interesting-looking (to say the least) snacks, Joe chose both Tiffani's rice krispie treat chocolate "snowball" and Spike's homemade potato and carrot chips with marshmallow-marscarpone-raisin dip. They then split the chefs into teams of two to help Tiff and Spike make 150 portions of each snack to serve to the kids so they could decide the winner for this challenge. Obviously, the kids went for the chocolaty sugar fest over the veggie chips (because what kids like carrots and raisins?).
