Food Elevator
Curtis leads six rounds in which Brad, Ryan and Curtis propose improvements to foods from the episode. Each round selects a dish; that dish then challenges the running favorite. Fried pickle displaces chocolate-chip scone and survives until the final comparison, where Ryan selects Curtis’s hog in a sleeping bag. Curtis is the overall winner. No numerical points are supplied. The recording confirms the proposal and ballot voices described below.

2 · Cornichon
Curtis proposes pickled daikon, Brad’s contender is a fried pickle, and Ryan proposes injecting a Bloody Mary into a large pickle. Brad explicitly votes for Ryan’s proposal, but fried pickle wins the round. It then defeats chocolate-chip scone. Brad supplies the deciding vote in the fried-pickle versus chocolate-chip-scone comparison, confirmed in the recording.

3 · Bacon pancakes
Curtis makes an egg-and-cheese sandwich with bacon pancakes as bread. Ryan removes the bacon, discussing thicker bacon or sausage as alternatives. Brad adds candied bacon and initially says almonds, then corrects himself to pecans. Plain pancakes win the round, while fried pickle remains the running champion. The recording confirms Ryan’s proposal.

4 · Deviled-ham sandwich
Brad proposes a deviled egg inside the sandwich, Curtis proposes turkey over deviled ham used as a spread, and Ryan proposes grilled pineapple. Ryan admits picturing ordinary ham and not having looked up deviled ham. Turkey wins the round, but the later standings retain fried pickle. A question about avoiding a tiebreaker does not establish an extra tiebreak round or numerical tally.

5 · Fish jerky
Ryan proposes very thin jerky; Curtis offers a charcuterie board on which the fish can be ignored; Brad adds tartar sauce. The initial choices produce a reported tie. Curtis switches allegiance to Ryan, making thin jerky the round winner, but fried pickle remains champion.

6 · Pigs in a blanket
Ryan adds dips, such as smoked chipotle or mustard. Curtis proposes a hog in a sleeping bag: a full-size brat dipped in bacon-pancake batter and fried. Brad retains the original pig-in-a-blanket pastry, wraps it in an already-cooked pancake and deep-fries it. Initial votes favor Brad. After Curtis clarifies that his batter is fried, Ryan switches to him and Curtis wins the round.

Final comparison · Curtis wins
Only Ryan votes because he has neither remaining contender. He rejects the fried pickle and chooses the hog in a sleeping bag; the group explicitly names Curtis the winner. The final comparison is separate from the sixth food round, without an invented point total.
