There's no Quickfire Challenge this week as the chefs take on a Carolina classic: whole-hog barbecue. Splitting into teams of two, they gear up for a head-to-head battle showcasing five key cuts of the hog.

Southern Charm stars Madison LeCroy and Craig Conover join Kristen Kish in the Top Chef kitchen for a Quickfire inspired by Cracker Barrel's all-day menu. The chefs must split into teams and prepare three meals; breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It's Restaurant Wars and this season the perennial favorite returns with a twist! The chefs split into two teams of four and are tasked with developing restaurant concepts. Each team must present a three-course progressive menu.

This series sees young, talented cooks pit their culinary skills against one another in a high stakes, high pressure contest to win the Top Chef crown.

The remaining chefs head lakeside to Lake Hartwell's legendary Green Pond Landing to face the fan favorite mise en place Quickfire Challenge with Kristen, Tom and Gail, and then head out on the water to compete in a Top Chef Fishing Derby.

The chefs gather at Greenville's Unity Park where they're welcomed by Kristen and special guest judges Keith Habersberger and Rachel Cole of the Try Guys. For the Quickfire Challenge, the chefs must create a dish with elements voted on by Top Chef.
