Thirteen duos compete in the kitchen for a chance to win a cash prize and the title of "Top Chef Family Style", by elevating a family recipe into a five-star dish.

The 12 remaining duos make the perfect poached egg for chef Nancy Silverton and create their own spin on eggs Benedict; the chefs must use some of the most luxurious ingredients available for guest judge Josiah Citrin and actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

During Restaurant Wars, the remaining duos split into teams to create two competing restaurants from the ground up; guest judges Sheldon Simeon and Kelsey Barnard Clark join Meghan and Marcus at the Judges' Table.

The 10 duos use mayonnaise and commonly wasted ingredients to create unique pies; for the Elimination Challenge, they must make dishes that can be frozen and then reheated by Marcus, Meghan and guest judge chefs Susan Feniger and Shirley Chung.

The seven remaining duos dig around in graves to find their quickfire ingredients; the chefs use their Halloween costumes for dish inspirations when they cook for guest judges Chris Cosentino and Ester Dean.

The 11 duos participate in the "Top Chef Family Style" Tailgate Tournament and are tasked with creating plant-based food for the 2021 LA Rams draft class and guest judges LA Rams linebacker Kenny Young and social media influencer Tabitha Brown.
