Family Recipe Showdown (2025)

S1E1 Southern Brunch

Octavia and Dook welcome three Southern families into the kitchen for a spirited culinary competition. In the initial round, a pair of teams—comprised of an aunt and her niece, a mother-in-law with her son-in-law, and a husband and wife—whip up their finest Southern brunch dishes. As the contest progresses to the second round, the two remaining teams put their unique twist on one of guest judge Reese Witherspoon's beloved childhood dishes, all in hopes of snagging the grand prize of $10,000.
