Quickfire Challenge: The chefs competed in a short order cooking-themed breakfast challenge. At regular intervals, one of the eight guest judges ― Amar Santana, Melissa King, Kwame Onwuachi, Dale Talde, Gregory Gourdet, Carrie Baird, and Richard Blais ― would call out a breakfast order. The first two chefs to ring their bells then had 30 minutes to prepare eight portions of said dish. The winner received immunity from elimination.
Amar Santana (Steak & Eggs): Byron, Gabe
Melissa King (Dim Sum): Avishar, Shota
Kwame Onwuachi (Shrimp & Grits): Jamie, Sara
Dale Talde (Spam & Kimchi Fried Rice): Gabriel, Maria
Gregory Gourdet (Fried Egg & Veggie Hash): Dawn, Sasha
Carrie Baird (“Fancy Toast”): Brittanny, Kiki
Richard Blais (“The Kitchen Sink”): Chris, Nelson
Winner: Jamie (Cheddar Polenta with Cajun Gochujang Shrimp)
Elimination Challenge: Initially, the chefs were asked to create individual dishes highlighting either beer or coffee, which were randomly assigned via knife draw. However, upon their arrival at the challenge site just hours before service, Tom Colicchio requested that the contestants pair up and create new dishes featuring both beer and coffee, using the ingredients they had already purchased for themselves. One member of the losing team would be eliminated.
Winners: Avishar, Shota (Lobster Sunomono, Double Cream Coffee & Stout Reduction, Carbonated Grapes & Furikake)
Eliminated: Sasha (Beer Marinated Pork Loin with Beets, Milk Stout Vinaigrette, Coffee Romesco & Coffee Hazelnut Crunch)
