The final challenge is to cook a restaurant quality three-course meal for three food critics.
The Final Table
The Final Table is an American reality cooking competition web television series hosted by Andrew Knowlton, released on Netflix on November 20, 2018. The series features twelve professional teams of two competing against each other by creating cuisine based on each episode's country theme. The first round of cooking is based on the Judges (one food critic and two culturally significant citizens of the episode's country) asking the contestants to cook a nationally significant dish. The bottom three dishes cause their cooks to compete in a second round, named The Final Plate Challenge, using a specific ingredient relevant to the country's culture, chosen by a renowned guest Chef.
