Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by Katie Couric, SCRAPS is a half-hour reality series that follows Sur La Table Chef and executive producer Joel Gamoran to a new city where he partners with food waste champions to celebrate the local cuisine and create a delicious meal with food items many consider to be waste, like banana peels, shrimp shells, chicken bones and carrot stems. The pressure is on as Joel will have less than a day to source ingredients, build a full menu and create a meal for an outdoor dinner party. From roadside foraging, to chocolate roasting, to oyster hunting -- viewers follow Joel on a one-of-a-kind food sourcing adventure in his refurbished 1963 Volkswagen bus, which doubles as his mobile kitchen. Season 2 of SCRAPS premiered on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 10pm ET/PT on FYI. In the season opener, Joel arrives in Big Sky country to team up with food waste champion, Eduardo Garcia, affectionately known as the "Bionic Chef." The chefs set their sights on a bold culinary challenge: make a better version of an iconic cowboy dish using ingredients usually thrown in the trash, and recruit multigenerational Montana ranchers into the food waste movement. Joel and Eduardo's Montana adventure takes them wading through chilly mountain streams and galloping horseback over rugged ranchland -- all in the name of saving scraps. But does their ambitious menu filled with bizarre beef offcuts and fried fish bones pack enough taste punch to satisfy the headstrong cowboys? Additional chefs that Joel partners with in the new season of SCRAPS are: Brooke Williamson (Los Angeles, CA), Andy Baraghani (Bay Area, CA), Beverly Kim (Chicago, IL), Max Hardy (Detroit, MI), Tandy Wilson (Nashville, TN), Anthony Lamas (Louisville, KY), Jacques Pepin (Connecticut), and Jamie Bissonnette (Boston, MA).
