Four chefs face a nail-biting elimination round. In front of the watching Monica Galetti and Gregg, they have to earn the right to cook for Michel by demonstrating their culinary expertise with a skills test of turning vegetables and a palate test of making a hollandaise sauce.

The remaining three professionals then face the first of the two gruelling tests on which Michel and Gregg will judge them. They must make two dishes in 50 minutes from the central ingredients of tuna steak. The second test, recreating two classic dishes, will be concluded in the next episode.
