Panelists submit three to five stories related to the kitchen. Host-producer Alex reads these stories randomly.

Points are awarded based on successful deception and accurate guessing:

[03:32] Big J Okerson: "For every person you deceive, you get one point. And for every time you guess the right answer, you get two points."

The prize for the evening is announced: a copy of comedian K.P. Burke's History Isn't Boring.
