With the ultimate summer getaway on the line, Antonia Lofaso challenges the remaining chefs to put their best spin on tropical beach food. First, the chefs and their chef-mentors Tiffani Faison and Brooke Williamson flip a classic tropical drink into a beachside meal. In the final battle, the last two chefs standing must create a dinner using ingredients from their dream destination. Guest judges Tim Hollingsworth and Rashida Holmes decide which coast's chef has proven that it has the best beach food and deserves to be crowned Best of the Beach.

Chef Antonia Lofaso is back with five chefs from the West Coast and five chefs from the East Coast as they face off in the ultimate coastal culinary battle. Chefs Brian Malarkey and Eric Adjepong seek to lead their coastal teams to victory as they take on some of the most iconic pier food ever while playing classic boardwalk games like Balloon Pop and Softball Toss to obtain their ingredients.

The beachside battles continue as Chef Antonia Lofaso takes the brawl from the pier directly onto the beach. Chefs Brian Malarkey and Eric Adjepong kick things off in the sand with a one-on-one mentor battle to see who can make the best handheld grilled beach item and win a key advantage for their team. The second challenge is a full-on team event where they'll have to make their coasts' rendition of a beachside feast. In the end, one chef will be eliminated, and their fun in the sun will come to an end.
