The contestants go back to class with guest chef judge Govind Armstrong of Table 8. The 10 finalists arrive at a local cooking school, where they get a lesson in cooking from inspiration. The budding chefs are paired up, given $40 and sent to the historic Farmers Market in Los Angeles, which offers a bounty of fresh vegetables and other ingredients. While preparing a dish for the judges as teams, they learn the concept of working together and drawing inspiration from each other. In the end, the judges rate the effort; one team is singled out and 86ed. The winner's prize: dinner with Robert Gadsby of Noé.
