Sixteen of the nation's most talented chefs step into Padma Lakshmi's fiercely competitive arena to battle it out for the $1 million prize.

The commandment of culinary science and technology not only pushes the chefs to merge food and science, but battle in the most strategic cook off yet. The chefs will showcase different molecular gastronomy techniques.

The commandments have always kept the chefs on their toes, but this week it's time to stay consistent. Whipping up 30 identical fish dishes may be a team effort, but when push comes to shove, it's every chef for themselves.

The remaining five chefs must prepare global cuisine to impress a table of judges.

The remaining chefs leave the pantry behind to harvest the ingredients that will decide their fate and then return to the Penthouse to face the Sustainability Commandment.

The competition reaches a boiling point as the top 10 chefs battle it out in a full-scale Tournament of Sauces. Across three relentless rounds, the tournament reveals who truly understands the backbone of great cooking and who's out for revenge.
