S1E7 - The Gastronomic Gauntlet
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 chefs will showcase different molecular gastronomy techniques while creating as many dishes as they can in five hours, begging the questions: Who will win an advantage in the next commandment? Who will go home? And how many dishes can the judges eat?
Air Date: 15 Apr 2026 20:30 (CDT)
S1E8 - Consistency Is Key
The commandments have always kept the chefs on their toes, but this week it's time to stay consistent. Whipping up 30 identical fish dishes may be a team effort, but when push comes to shove, it's every chef for themselves as they scramble to deliver what the judges are looking for in record time – and one competitor isn't egg-actly successful.

S1E9 - Passport to Pressure
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.

S1E10 - Bittersweet Semifinals
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.

S1E11 - Million-Dollar Menu
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.
