Talented young chefs embark on a series of tough cooking challenges and high-pressure obstacles.

A seasoned chef is challenged to perform a seemingly impossible task without compromising the quality of the food. One week the chef must prepare dinner for 150 aboard a luxury locomotive, while the next could see him being asked to provide gourmet ballpark food at a party. Sometimes he must prepare the meal without proper kitchen equipment; other times he's got no food with which to work. There is always a time limit, and the chef's assistants usually are not cooking professionals.

Four chefs call on their culinary skills as they face off against one another to prepare a spectacular three-course meal consisting of an appetizer, entree and dessert. The catch?

At the end of each course, a panel of three guest judges "chops" one chef who fails to measure up in terms of taste, presentation and creativity. The last chef standing takes home bragging rights and a cool $10,000. Ted Allen hosts.
