In the second round, they were directed to a separate table where Martha and the judges presented five cooked ingredients in a lobster bake and the contestants had to use at least three of them in their dish.
The competing chefs were all dog lovers whose dishes included a separate treat, using at least one basket ingredient, for a golden retriever named James.
