Top Chef

In Kentucky, 15 chefs are off to the races at Churchill Downs for the ride of their lives. The chefs must make a dish that will appeal to a crowd of 200 at a Kentucky Derby party, as Churchill Downs' own chef David Danielson serves as guest judge.

A very pregnant Gail Simmons asks the chefs to feed her cravings in a special quickfire delivery, and it's time to celebrate two iconic Kentucky mainstays: local cuisine and bourbon.

Richard Blais and Brooke Williamson present a Quickfire challenge. Chef Eric Ripert arrives to enjoy a traditional French Christmas dinner with the chefs. Padma tells the chefs they're missing the final part of the tradition of Le Revillon de Noel.

Padma's favourite challenge of Restaurant Wars arrives early, but before the chefs gear up for battle, they must first duke it out in an amuse bouche-based Quickfire.

The Restaurant Wars causes drama and mayhem, while Tom announces a double elimination piling on even more pressure. Chefs Karen Akunowicz and Nina Compton join the restaurant crawl along with Nilou Motamed and guest judge Caroline Styne.

The chefs walk in on an epic battle of Last Chance Kitchen and are drafted into the fight. Once Tom declares a winner, the chefs begin making dishes based on Prohibition-era cocktails.
