Flay competes against a who’s who of chefs. For this six episode event series, the competition is expanded to three rounds as Flay teams up with one of the chefs that was just trying to defeat him. First, two of Flay’s chef friends will compete to see who will face off against a third chef waiting in the wings. The winner of that second round will then go on to battle Flay with each one picking one of the eliminated chefs as their sous chef.
