10:00 p.m. – The chefs get some mentor time with Sara Bradley, Joe Flamm, and Stephanie Izard. Then they pick sous chefs to help them for the final challenge, which has them creating the best four-course progressive meal of their life, with each course being a “toast” to someone or something in their life. For the sous chefs, it’s Anthony for Sherry, Sieger for Rhoda, and Jonathan for Laurence.
10:11 p.m. – The chefs had five hours to prep for the next day. The time has run out, so one more day of the competition!
10:19 p.m. – The chefs meet Gail, Tom, and Kristen for a special meal. It just so happens to have been cooked by the Final 3’s loved ones (Sherry’s and Rhoda’s sisters and Laurence’s wife). A special moment with lots of emotions.
10:29 p.m. – The final service has started, as the Final 3 chefs have served their first course. The judges are impressed after one course.
10:40 p.m. – We have now served three courses, and things seem pretty split. One more course to go before the winner is announced!
