My daughter has been watching this--so silly, amazing, and friendly (compared to the other cooking competition shows I've seen).
I love the illustrations of the proposed concoctions.

Off the couch. This was a great puzzle and meta! 61D induced a bit of a flashback to a semi-recent MGWCC (was that intended?)

And this morning I also had a flashback, but to an earlier WSJ puzzle. Can't talk more until the Sunday reveal.

I gave it a shot - only got 75% of the grid even with google. No clue on the meta. The spoiler was consistent with what I thought but still no clue.
