Chef Jonathan Waxman Guest Judges a Saints and Sinners Cooking Challenge

"Finale" - It's all come down to this. The search for America's Best Undiscovered Cook sees only five cooks remaining in "The Taste" kitchen, and the mentors give their final group challenge -- creating Saints and Sinners-inspired dishes representing two very opposite ideas and culinary concepts.

The final three will then battle one last time creating their perfect three course meal - all within two hours - and in front of a live studio audience that includes some familiar faces from this season.
