They must also make sure that their dish is hot and ready to serve as soon as the judges arrive.

Throughout the competition, the chefs are constantly checking their dishes and making adjustments to make sure that they are perfect. Some chefs are struggling with their dishes, while others seem to be in complete control. The judges arrive, and the chefs know that it's time to present their dishes.

In the end, only one chef will be declared the winner of the competition. The winning dish will be added to the supermarket's menu, and the chef will receive $5,000 in prize money.
