This episode is the third part of the championship tournament and features four returning winners who earned their spot in the finale by winning their initial rounds.

Hosted by celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the show takes place in the grocery store set up within a studio. The contestants are given a series of challenges in which they must shop for ingredients in the aisles of the grocery store and then cook up a delicious dish in a limited amount of time. The three judges, consisting of food industry experts, taste and evaluate each dish based on taste, presentation, and creativity.

The competition in this episode starts with the first challenge where contestants have to use ingredients from their home country to create a dish that represents their heritage. The contestants show off their unique culinary backgrounds and are judged on how well they infuse their culture into their dishes.

After the initial round, the three remaining contestants move on to the next challenge, which is a scavenger hunt through the store. They are given a shopping list of ingredients with varying prices and have to collect all required items while ensuring they stay within their budget. The catch is that the ingredient list is randomized, so each contestant has a different set of items to collect.

The final challenge, which is the ultimate test of the contestants' culinary skills, is the 'Chef's Choice.' Each chef is given complete freedom to choose any ingredients from the store and use their creativity to create an exceptional dish. This challenge is meant to showcase the skills of the contestants and give them a chance to dazzle the judges with their signature dish.

Throughout the episode, the contestants are challenged not only by the time limits and the constraints of the competition but also by the unpredictability of the store’s inventory. They must be able to adjust their dishes to the ingredients they can find in the store. The judges, who have diverse backgrounds in the food industry, come with varying expectations and evaluate each dish on its own merits.

The winner of this particular episode and eventual champion takes home a grand prize of $40,000, along with bragging rights as the best amateur chef in the competition. As the rest of the contestants watch, they are left wondering if they had made different choices, would the outcome have been different.
