Kristen Kish: "We want you to make the best four course meal of your lives. The opportunity to cook whatever you want."

Tom Colicchio: "One word of advice. Shine. Just blow us away."

Kristen Kish: "You'll be serving us judges, along with a very impressive lineup of guest chefs, including Top Chef Canada ™ judge David Silber, restaurateur and chef Bricia Lopez. Food and Wines, best new chef and James Beard award winner Justin Pichetrongsi and Michelin star and James Beard award winning chef Carrie Nahabedian.

Kristen Kish: "Knowing that this is the biggest cook of your lives, we're not going to let you do it alone."

Sous-Chefs

Dan chose Amanda.

Danny chose Manny.

Savannah chose Michelle.

Kristen Kish: "Now that you all have your sous chef, you'll have 2 hours to shop at a variety of different markets here in Aruba. The ship is also giving you access to their ingredients on board to help you execute your vision. Tonight, you'll have 5 hours to prep and cook, and then tomorrow, you'll have an additional two and a half hours before service begins at Pinnacle Grill."
