When a cooking experiment using a paint gun filled with capsicum oil and a flamethrower to cook brats produces a mess of inedible burnt brats, Omar, Ben and the kitchen staff decide to turn foods normally thought inedible, into edible tasty menu ideas... |

There is a competition to see who develops the better recipe, and the winning concoction is served in the restaurant that evening.
Tropes:
- Artificial Meat: In one episode, Omar and Ben experiment with making meat out of the food that we usually feed to animals.
- Cooking Duel: Every episode.
- Extreme Omnivore: Potato peels, peanut shells or dead foliage, anyone?
- MacGyvering: Capsicum oil and a flamethrower.
- Mad Scientist: Omar Cantu is completely committed to solving the problem of world hunger. The episode on Miracle Fruit gives an idea of how his mind works.
- Mad Scientist Laboratory: The lab kitchen in the page image. They have all kinds of fancy equipment.
- Supreme Chef: Depending, of course, on how you feel about molecular gastronomy.
