Art of the Meal

The five chefs left standing explore the concept of sushi as art, as their presentation and creativity skills are tested. First, they create exquisite, high-end canapes inspired by origami figures. Then, each chef is presented with a Japanese woodblock print—their inspiration for stunning sashimi platters. Some struggle with literal interpretations of the art, while others flourish with the creative challenge. Another chef is cut in an emotional exit, as the remaining four enter the semi-finals.
