Each finalist received help from one sous chef, consisting of previously eliminated competitors Jamie, Maria, and Byron. Dawn was assisted by Jamie, Shota was assisted by Byron, and Gabe was assisted by Maria. The meals were served at the Willamette Valley Vineyards to the judges, all-stars, and guest diners Naomi Pomeroy and Peter Cho.
