Dive Deep

For a high-risk challenge, the 10 remaining chefs must dive into choppy waters to retrieve their basket ingredients. In the head-to-head elimination Gauntlet, a delicate protein meets unexpected flavors, and relentless smoke pushes precision to the limit.

Choose Your Weapon

The nine remaining chefs must choose their weapons and hit their targets to earn high-value ingredients. In a relay-style cook, each team creates one cohesive dish built around a showstopping basket, and the losing team is sent to a brutal Gauntlet.
