Karen Akunowicz

Guy Fieri challenges the final four culinary titans with two epic semifinal battles, where the two chefs left standing will faceoff in one final head-to-head championship showdown.

Guy welcomes the victorious Great 8 back into the arena to compete in the toughest quarterfinals in Tournament of Champions history, where they'll have to face each other along with the dreaded randomizer in sudden death showdowns.

It's the final four first-round battles as Guy welcomes culinary rockstar Chef Michael Voltaggio to face off against Chef Crista Luedtke, while New York newcomer Chef Dale Talde takes on battle-tested TOC all-star Karen Akunowicz. Then, Chef Carlos Anthony tries to continue his recent winning streak as he takes on three-time James Beard nominee Chef Shota Nakajima. In the final first round battle of the tournament, the East B qualifier winner will attempt to take down TOC Champion Chef Tiffani Faison.

The first round of Tournament of Champions V is history as Guy welcomes the victorious Super 16 back into the arena to kick off the second round of competition with four must-see matchups. Four chefs will move one step closer to winning the championship belt and the biggest prize in TOC history, while four chefs will head home to train for next season.

The second round action continues as the last of the Super 16 fight for a chance at the quarterfinals. Guy has four final spots in the Great 8 that will put each winning chef one step closer to winning the belt, the coveted title and $150,000.
