Challenge #1: For the first challenge; the 24 chefs must dice eight onions, turn eight artichokes, and pit eight avocados fast where two of them are able to claim one of the twelve stations featuring an assigned protein.
Challenge #2: The chefs who paired in their desired station are now cooking against each other where they had to cook a one bite dish with their protein. They will be decided by the guest judge who chose the winner to claim the twelve slots in the following challenges.

Top 12: Carlos Anthony, Gabriella Baldwin, Josie Clemens, Chris Dodson, Kess Eshun, Christopher Ingram, Camille La Caer, Mika Leon, Chris Oh, Vijay Sadhu, Martel Stone, Marcel Vigneron

Challenge #3: The 12 remaining chefs had 12 minutes to cook a dish featuring eggs with the winner will receive the cash prize of $2400.

Challenge #4: In this next shift, the bottom two chefs select their choice of ingredients in three minutes to make an appetizer that highlights coffee. The chefs are told to switch stations and they now had to cook with the ingredients from their selected competitor in 27 minutes.

Challenge #5 and #6: The next two challenges instruct the chefs to make a burger dish for the prize money of $2400 in 30 minutes without the use of ground meat and buns alongside a fried side using only an oil spray.

Challenge #7: The remaining ten chefs face a three-round three dish meal elimination challenge where they have to cook their dishes with the use of a single bag of groceries. The top three breakfast dishes will be saved from the first round in 25 minutes. The challenge winners with the best course in each round will receive an advantage.

Challenge #8: The remaining chefs got 50 minutes to produce their lunch dishes.

Challenge #10: The three winners of the previous shift each took turns to select their two members to form groups of three. In every 12-minute round, each member produce a game day dish featuring one of the three stadium snacks (popcorn, pretzels, and beer). The winning team will each receive $2400.

Top 3: Kess Eshun ($2400), Martel Stone ($2400), Marcel Vigneron ($2400)

Challenge #11: The other chefs are divided into pairs to cook a paired dish in 30 minutes. In each ten minute period, one chef must prep the dish for their partner to take its turn to cook it before both chefs finish the dish in the last ten minutes.

Challenge #12: Centering on artistry, the chefs create a dish that was judged solely on presentation in ten minutes with the use of frozen meals and the winner will receive an advantage in the next challenge.

Challenge #13 and #14: The challenge winner will pick their choice of color and assign the other chefs with the remaining colors to feature both their main and dessert dishes in 45 minutes for the cash prize of $2400.

Challenge #15: The six chefs got 30 minutes to cook a spiced rice dish to earn enough score points in criteria received by the guest judge. The three-round elimination challenge will send the chef home with the lowest score after the third round.
