The Taste is back for Season 3! Watch the blind auditions on The Taste Season 3 Episode 1 right now to see which professional chefs and home cooks made the cut. Each contestant prepared a dish to be tasted blindly by the judges, and judges picked their teams based on these tastes alone. Who did they choose, and why?

And which contestants do you recognize from other reality shows? Chances are, you'll recognize one or two of this season's competitors.

Once the teams were chosen, the contestants immediately began a team challenge, which was themed, "Childhood." Each mentor assigned a specific kind of dish for the contestants to make, and then chose one dish to represent their team. Which chefs were represented, and what delicious food did they serve up to special guest judge, Stephanie Izard?

Guest judge, Stephanie Izard decided which bite was best and which bite was worst. The mentor whose team had the worst bite was forced to send home one of their cooks right away. So which mentor had to make that tough decision, and which cook got sent home?
