Overview
The last four recruits face off in a Shakespeare-inspired culinary showdown to earn their spot in the ultimate cook-off. In the last skill drill, it's every recruit for themselves as red takes on red and blue goes head-to-head with blue. Then, chefs Anne Burrell and Gabe Bertaccini work closely with their top recruits to perfect a three-course restaurant-quality meal. Finally, the recruits must execute their dishes solo before judges Claudette Zepeda, Martel Stone and Poppy O'Toole taste their creations in a blind tasting and crown the $25,000 winner!
