In this episode titled "Latin Lunch," the focus is on time management as the 11 remaining chefs tackle challenges that demand both efficiency and creativity. They start with a QuickFire challenge where they must whip up a dish using a frozen pie crust. The stakes increase in the Elimination Challenge, where they are tasked with catering a Latin-themed lunch for the cast and crew of Telemundo's "Dame Chocolate." Guest judge Maria Frumkin joins to evaluate their culinary creations while the chefs juggle the pressure of serving a meal on a tight timeline.
