Tournament of Champions Specials

Tournament of Champions V is almost here, and there are more amazing chefs than there are spots in the bracket. For the first time ever, Guy Fieri is kicking things off with a 16-chef qualifier series where the competitors will have the chance to earn one of the four remaining eight-seed slots in the TOC main bracket. If a chef wins their match, they’ll have to face one of the four former TOC champs!

The Tournament of Champions qualifiers continue with four chefs battling to win the number eight seed in the East A division. Whoever can win over a panel of TOC Champions in a blind taste test will get the opportunity to compete against TOC Champ Maneet Chauhan in the main tournament. They’ll have to conquer two intense battles against the other chefs and the dreaded randomizer.

Four more hopeful chefs fight it out for the final spot in the East B Division. Whoever can come out on top after two intense battles will earn the eight-seed spot and face TOC Champ Tiffani Faison in the main tournament. They'll have to satisfy the taste buds of a panel of TOC Champions as well as conquer the randomizer, twice.

This is it! The final qualifier event for Tournament of Champions V. While three amazing chefs have already earned their spots in the main tournament, the remaining four west contenders will fight for the last spot in the bracket and, ultimately, a battle against the reigning champ, Chef Mei Lin.
