The battle for the next Food Network Star has arrived in Rachael's kitchen where the remaining six finalists must show off their culinary chops and prove they are ready for their own TV series! They'll have three minutes to prep a classic American dinner with an extra challenge: Answer a question from the audience while they cook! "This is the toughest challenge we've ever had in this kitchen for these finalists!" Rachael says, noting, that answering questions while prepping a timed recipe is "one of the most stressful things I do on this show!"

Before the finalists get started, Rachael introduces judges Susie Fogelson, Bob Tuschman and Bobby Flay, who are excited about the new challenge. "If one of these people can handle this," Bobby says, "then we'll know that they're definitely on their way to stardom!"
