America’s Culinary Cup, hosted by Padma Lakshmi, reached its halfway point of the competition on tonight’s episode. The final eight competitors had to create two desserts, one heavenly and one devilish, using a shocking forbidden ingredient chosen by their rivals.
Then in a twist, the chefs were asked to vote on who was most likely to win and who was most likely to lose, which shook up the competition and caused tempers to flare. Beverly Kim was voted the most likely to win, causing her to breakdown in tears.
She said, “My whole life, I’ve been fighting to get recognition and it’s been emotional to me.”
Then, Chris Morgan was revealed as the chef voted least likely to win.
“It’s disappointing,” he said, “but I’ve been on the bottom a couple of times."
The guest judge for the night was Nina Métayer, voted the best pastry chef two years in a row.
The America’s Culinary Cup winner will be awarded the biggest cash prize in culinary history: $1 million dollars. Here's our spoiler-filled recap of who went home tonight.

What was the challenge tonight on America’s Culinary Cup?
For the evil desserts, the chefs had to include one ingredient from the "forbidden list": Bleu cheese, sweet pickles, dandelion greens, mustard seeds, anchovies, horseradish, cured black olives or Sriracha sauce.
Since Chris was voted the most likely to lose, he was given a chance at revenge by assigning one of the ingredients to each of his fellow chefs.
The chefs were given six hours to produce both good and evil desserts with the chef with the lowest score being sent home.
As usual, Padma, Michael Cimarusti and Wylie Dufresne awarded points based on Taste, Creativity, Presentation and Mastery of the Commandment with each quality worth 5 points, so each judge’s total would be 20 points for a cumulative possibility of 60 points. They were joined by Nina, which meant an additional 20 points per dessert for a grand total possible of 160.

Diana’s score was so low because she ran out of time and didn’t manage to plate her evil dessert, so the best she could have hoped for was 80 points.
“Six hours sounds like a long time, but not for me apparently,” Diana said. “It’s been my mission for a long time to dedicate my professional career to Mexican food, so it’s been great to do it on such a large platform as this. It’s been great to talk about it with all these chefs.”
America’s Culinary Cup airs Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. Streams next day on Paramount+.
