Laila Ali hosts as two sous chefs look to settle grudges that have been festering for years. Round one sees one of the most physical battles in Grudge Match history as Chef Brian Goodman claims that Chef Jonathon Sawyer's James Beard Award actually belongs to him. Then, in round two, Chef De'Unaka Haley is out to show Chef Niema DiGrazia that she needs to trust her and modernize or lose her customers. When the final bell rings, judges Jet Tila and Eric Adjepong decide who walks out of the arena with $10,000 in cash, their opponents most cherished knife, and the last word in the age-old battle of student versus master.
