Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6 kicked off on Food Network on April 6, 2025. The episode featured four battles between the champions vying for a spot in the final eight. Currently, there are 16 champions, but after the battle rounds are over, only eight will remain.

The battle was organized between chefs Adam Sobel and Kevin Lee, Carlos Anthony and Nini Nguyen, Sara Bradley and David Viana, and Antonia Lofaso and Rocco DiSpirito.

The series features reigning champions from other culinary competitions, usually those done on Food Network, and invites them all for an ultimate championship. The one who wins the show gets a chance to take home the $150,000 cash prize. The season is hosted by Guy Fieri.

Until now, the chefs have found their way around the randomizer, which decides their fate for the battle. They have been creative and found a flavorful mix with the options given to them. But this time, the randomizer has brought its full wrath, and it will be interesting to see if a contestant can handle it.

The first battle on the Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6, started with Adam Sobel and Kevin Lee. The randomizer gave them pork porterhouse chops, delicata squash, Guy's birthday, and a tortilla press to work with during the battle.

The Guy's Birthday option meant that they would have to create a dish that was messy yet sweet and spicy, something that would be served at his birthday party.

Chef Kevin decided to work with nachos and created a chorizo. As for Chef Adam, he worked with the pork with squash three ways. By the end, the judges gave a green light for the final eight spot to Chef Kevin, who had seven points more than Chef Adam.

The second battle on Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6 brought forth Chefs Carlos Anthony and Nini Nguyen. This time, they were presented with beef tenderloin, shishito peppers, and an immersion blender, and to top it off, they had to make it an updated classic.

Chef Nini went with steak ay poivre and was creative to satisfy the randomizer. Chef Carlos decided to do a steak tartare. In the end, the judges decided in favor of Chef Nini, who scored one point higher.

As the third battle on the Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6 rolled out, viewers saw Chef Sara Bradley compete against Chef David Viana. The randomizer decided the elements for them: a rack of lamb, dandelion greens, a meat grinder, and a date night dinner.

Sara worked with a rack of lamb with a whipped Meyer lemon and pistachio crust, which was topped off with dandelion greens. As for Chef David, he decided to create two sauces that balance each other out. However, his lamb was not up to the mark, which gave Sara the ultimate win.

The last battle on Tournament of Champions season 6 episode 6 saw Chef Antonia Lofaso go against Rocco DiSpirito. Their randomizer finalized a sturgeon, Tuscan kale, mortar and pestle, and gastropub. Antonia made a gastropub fish and chips, which was a huge hit among the judges.

Chef Rocco gave her tough competition with a sturgeon wrapped in bacon and braised kale. Even though it was good, Antonia won the challenge.


Tournament of Champions season 6 airs weekly on Sundays at 8 PM Eastern Time on the Food Network. Later, the episodes are available to stream online through MAX.
