Tournament of Champions

About Tournament of Champions

Thirty-two of the nation’s best chefs including proven warriors and fierce new challengers are ready to battle, but nothing will prepare the chefs for the competition’s biggest surprise ever. This season, top-seeded chefs in every division will be food world icons, four of the most powerful opponents to ever compete on the series, but their identities will remain a secret until the moment they enter the arena. Every battle will be head-to-head; every spin of the randomizer will keep competitors on their toes and viewers on the edge of their seats, and every dish is make-or-break. After eight weeks and 31 grueling head-to-head battles, one talented chef will win it all and be crowned champion, taking home the coveted Tournament of Champions belt and a $150,000 cash prize.
