The power of an ingredient should never be underestimated and in this QuickFire Challenge, chefs work in teams of two to create a progressive tasting menu that highlights just one single ingredient. Judging is four-time James Beard Award-winner and the owner of Philadelphia's Zahav, chef Michael Solomonov. In the Elimination Challenge, the chefs harness their wild side to create a dish that combines a luxury ingredient with a carnival classic and serve it to guests at the country's largest theme park, Canada's Wonderland. Joining our judges is Top Chef U.S. alumni and the owner of Fox & the Knife in Boston, Mass., chef Karen Akunowicz. 

In the first part of the finale, the final four chefs go head-to-head in a high-stakes challenge which will determine who moves on. In the last Elimination Challenge of the season, at the Relais & Chateaux country estate at Langdon Hall Country House Hotel & Spa, it's a course-to-course battle as the chefs serve meals of a lifetime to a table of our resident judges. Only one chef will win it all and become Canada's Top Chef.
