My Life on a Plate

The teams are set, and it's time for the competition to begin.

The first challenge is a group challenge, where the competitors get help from their respective mentors in cooking to a theme -- this time it's "My Life On a Plate". Each contestant must cook a dish or use ingredients that hold a special place in their hearts. Each mentor must then pick one of their team's dishes to be judged blind by famed chef Edward Lee. The mentor of the team that finishes on the bottom has to send home someone from their own team. Ouch.

Next up, the contestants must cook on their own so the mentors can judge blind. The mentors taste everything, and then each picks their favorite dish -- which earns a gold star -- and their least favorite -- which earns a red star.

The Season 2 Finale

The first challenge will be judged blind by one of the most chefs of all time: Jacques Pepin. The theme of the challenge is Rich & Poor. The chefs must cook one rich dish -- something fancy made with decadent, expensive ingredients -- and one poor dish -- something made with more humble ingredients. But of course, they both need to be tasty. All four chefs put their dishes forward; whoever Chef Pepin picks as his worst will be eliminated on the spot.

For the final challenge, to be judged by the panel of mentors, the three remaining chefs have to cook three dishes: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
