The remaining five chefs must play a round of "Name That Ingredient." Then it’s a battle of heavenly proportions as the Masters are challenged to create a divine dish inspired by a Greek God.

The remaining four chefs’ sense of humor is put to the test. A trip to the storied improv comedy club, the Groundlings, gives the chef’s 3 words of inspiration from which to create their dishes.
