In the Season 12 finale, the final two Chefs face off in the final challenge, and for the first time in a finale... Restaurant Wars! Each will unveil a bold, fully realized dining experience that showcases their culinary vision, voice, and identity.

In the Season 12 premiere, 10 new Chefs are introduced at Toronto's historic St. Lawrence Market. Right away, they're tasked with working together for a collaborative dinner, each dish inspired by their unique culinary origin story. The winning Chef earns the chance to pull one of three immunity knives - including the coveted Golden Knife.

The Judges step out from behind the table to become sous-chefs for a very special Quickfire Challenge. Then, the final four must make a critical choice: cook with humble ingredients and have time on their side or splurge on premium ingredients.

In a snack-sized Quickfire, the Chefs must create the ultimate energy-boosting bite and pair it with a protein shake. Then, they cook dishes inspired by cherished family traditions - only to be met with an emotional surprise.

Chefs race through a high-speed pasta Quickfire before catering a special event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the imagineNATIVE Film Festival. Drawing inspiration from Indigenous ingredients and culinary traditions, the Chefs must honour the stories behind an ingredient in each dish they serve.

In a playful Quickfire Challenge, Chefs flip expectations by transforming sweet ingredients into savoury dishes. For the Elimination Challenge, they must create a fully immersive dining experience inspired by elemental worlds.
