Herbs and spice and everything nice. In this QuickFire Challenge, chefs randomly pick two herbs and spices to incorporate into a Top Chef Canada-quality dessert. Next, its game on in the Elimination Challenge as arena food gets a Top Chef Canada makeover. In teams of two, the chefs cater a rink-side post game party for a group of young hockey players and their parents and coaches. A double-elimination has everyone on edge as both chefs on the losing team are sent home.

At the heart of French cuisine are the decadent flavours of butter, cream and cheese, but in this final-five QuickFire Challenge, the chefs are challenged to recreate the richness of classic French dishes using only plant-based ingredients. Judging this French-Vegan challenge is acclaimed New York City chef Amanda Cohen.  Later, it's the guy with the smile! Top Chef Canada: All-Stars alumni Dustin Gallagher is back to judge the Elimination Challenge where chefs must create canapés that pair with California wines and serve them to an exclusive cocktail party of 65 guests.
