In a shift that tests resourcefulness, Michael Symon and Esther Choi ask the 11 remaining chefs to create a three-course meal worthy of a black-tie event in 60 minutes. Judge Jet Tila decides which chef will be clocking out.

The 10 remaining chefs are assigned famous works of art to use for inspiration as they prepare impressive plates of food for judge Fariyal Abdullahi.
