Chef Antonia Lofaso sets off the fireworks as she challenges the chefs to create delicious summer eats that revolve around America's favorite summer holiday -- the 4th of July. After chefs Eric Adjepong and Brian Malarkey have a corn shuck-off, the teams create an all-American party platter that represents their coast while only being able to use ingredients they can fit in a beach cooler. For the second battle, the lowest two chefs from the losing team will have fight for survival against their own teammate by creating the ultimate beach burger. In the end, one chef will be eliminated, and their all-American party will end in tears.

The competition heats up as Chef Antonia Lofaso starts the brawl over game day eats with, for the first time ever, a double elimination! In the first battle, two chefs face off in a pizza showdown, where the losing chef will be automatically eliminated. In the second battle, Eric Adjepong and Brain Malarkey draft proteins for their team's best game day dish. In the end, another chef will be eliminated and have to hang up their cleats.

There's nothing better than a summertime road trip up the coast, and Chef Antonia Lofaso challenges the remaining chefs to give their trek a culinary upgrade! To kick things off, team captains Brian Malarkey and Eric Adjepong face off in a fast-food glow up, where the winner will get the biggest advantage yet -- the ability to bring back an eliminated chef or save one from a future elimination. In the second battle, the teams throw down by creating a coastal-themed roadside picnic. In the end, one chef will be eliminated, and their road trip will come to an end.
