In Kenny Rogers’ classic song “The Gambler,” the title character tells his train-mate, “Son, I’ve made a life out of readin’ people’s face/And knowin’ what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.” But that skill goes way past the poker table.

Catch a glimpse into his crystal ball with these lines for the upcoming episode of the culinary competition:
