Top chefs compete in challenges testing creativity, endurance, presentation and leadership skills in America's Culinary Cup.
With the competition officially underway and the first four chefs already sent home, the remaining 12 contenders feel the pressure rise as they confront the first and most unforgiving of the 10 Commandments.
The remaining chefs leave the pantry behind to harvest the ingredients that will decide their fate and then return to the Penthouse to face the Sustainability Commandment.
The competition reaches a boiling point as the top 10 chefs battle it out in a full-scale Tournament of Sauces.
The remaining chefs face off in teams of three to deliver a vegetarian three-course menu to a dinner party of elite guests from the culinary world.
At the halfway point of the competition, the final eight competitors must each create two desserts. One heavenly and one devilish. Both using a shocking forbidden ingredient chosen by their rivals.
The commandment of culinary science and technology not only pushes the chefs to merge food and science but battle in the most strategic cook off yet.
The commandments have always kept the chefs on their toes but this week it’s time to stay consistent.
Three hours. Three dishes. Three different nations. And the remaining five chefs must prepare a global cuisine to impress a table of judges so intimidating, even the coolest of chefs start to crack under the pressure. At the end, one chef will stand alone at the top of the world, and another is sent on a one-way trip home
The final four chefs race to make it to the finale in a challenge highlighting the five flavor profiles. Who’s feeling a little salty and who’s a little bitter about the competition? This isn’t just about taste, it’s about strategy. Only three chefs will make it through tonight and move on to the finale, while one will say their bittersweet goodbyes
Tonight, a champion will be crowned and walk away with the largest cash prize in culinary history: $1 million. With pressure at an all-time high, the three remaining chefs must face their most daunting commandment yet: innovation. The chefs must reimagine signature dishes from legendary guest judges Eric Ripert, Suzanne Goin and Daniela Soto-Innes. After the chef with the lowest score is eliminated, the final two serve their own three-course menu that puts their past, present and future on the plate in hopes to win $1 million
