Elimination Challenge
The chefs competed in a football-themed tournament-style team challenge set at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The winners of each round in the tournament (voted upon by Tom Colicchio, Padma Lakshmi, Gail Simmons, Top Chef México judge Aquiles Chávez, and Tottenham Hotspur club ambassador Ledley King) were declared safe from elimination.
In the first round, two teams competed head-to-head by cooking dishes featuring Stilton cheese, while the other two teams faced off with dishes featuring Wensleydale cheese.
The two losing, or "relegated", teams from the first round were then asked to create dishes featuring Bramley apples for the second round.
The members of the relegated team from the second round then competed against each other in the third and final round, making dishes featuring English peas.
The loser of the third round was eliminated from the competition.
