In addition to the pressure of the surprise ingredient, the chefs are also tasked with preparing their dishes in a limited amount of time, leaving them little room for error. As the clock ticks down, the chefs race to produce their dishes and present them to the judges.

In the end, one chef is named the Tournament of Champions winner, taking home the grand prize and earning the recognition of their peers in the culinary world.
