Chef Maneet Chauhan returns to defend her title as the winningest player in Wildcard Kitchen history as Eric Adjepong hosts an unprecedented night of winner-takes-all culinary poker action. To defend her crown, she'll have to take down fellow Tournament of Champions winner Chef Mei Lin and acclaimed competition judge Chef Aaron Sanchez. Their knives are sharpened, and the heat is on, because when the smoke clears, two chefs will bust out without a dime to their names while one of these legendary competition champions will walk away with a massive haul of $30,000 -- the highest payout in Wildcard Kitchen history.

Eric Adjepong welcomes back three chefs who lost all their money the last time they played in Food Network kitchen's late-night culinary poker game. Chef friends turned gambling enemies, Stephanie Izard, Gabe Bertaccini, and Mika Leon, try to bluff, bet, chop, and cook their way into winning a total cash pot of $15,000. All three chefs are hungry for redemption, but who can spin Eric's culinary wildcards into winning dishes and real money, and who goes home broke again?
