Sesame Workshop description

Just as Alan finishes packing Elmo’s lunch, the lights go down, the music goes up, and Super Chef, played by Jason Schwartzman, pops up and announces that Alan has been chosen as the next challenger on “Cast Iron Cooks!” Alan is not even sure what that is, but Chris and Elmo are excited to be his assistants. The first challenge is to prepare a bowl of P Stew, which is made up entirely of ingredients that begin with the letter “P.” Elmo, Chris and Alan race around throwing p foods, like pickles, peaches and porridge into a pot. When time is up, Super Chef samples their stew. It’s horrible. Then he tries the Cast Iron Cooks’ stew, which is delicious. Just before Super Chef awards the first round to the Cast Iron Cooks, Chris finds a hat in the Cast Iron Cooks’ stew, and because hat starts with the letter H, the points go to Alan. After several hilarious challenges involving apple pies and goulash, the Cast Iron Cooks are disqualified and Alan and his assistants win again, making them the overall winners of the “Cast Iron Cooks” competition!
