24 in 24: Last Chef Standing Season 2 Episodes 6 & 7 Recap - Culinary curveballs derail chefs from their goals 

24 in 24: Last Chef Standing season 2 episodes 6 and 7 aired on Food Network last night on May 18, 2025. The episodes were titled "Teamwork" and "Risk Taking" respectively.

The challenges were designed so that the chefs would have to go out of their comfort zone to cook and later win. The first one was a soup and sandwich round, in which the contestants were divided into two groups. Bryan and Gabe were the captains of each group.

They were required to start with the preparation and cooking as a team member joining them after every seven minutes. The prize? $2400 for every chef and a ticket to the next round. The punishment? Another challenge called 'Best of 3.'

With the soup challenge, the teams also had to select a style for their cuisine. It would either be sour, nutty, or smoky. The second two were a special ingredient to be used in their dish. It could be preserved lemons, anchovies, or unsweetened baking chocolate.

The equipment selection was handed to Kevin or Kelsey, where they had to pick between ISI canister, a spiralizer, or a vacuum sealer. Kevin took the spiralizer for his team while Kelsey went away with the ISI canister.

The first round of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing resulted in a winner in Bryan. He had developed a significant lead since the start and was able to win. This meant he and his team were safe for now.

The next challenge was to be organized between Gabe, Steph, Nini, and Kevin. Bryan was given the autonomy of selecting the teams, and he decided to go for a 2 versus 2 round. By this time, it was 2 AM.

The teams were thus required to make hors d'oeuvres in various styles. The winner will be safe, and the losing team of two will be on the chopping block for a potential elimination. Nini and Steph won the round, with Kevin and Gabe's future on the show being uncertain.

Then the seventh shift of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing started, where these two men had to fight for survival and cook spicy street food. Bryan was asked to choose a chef between these two.

If the chef that he had selected wins, both Kevin and Gabe get eliminated, and they win $10,000 and a spot in the finale. And in another case, whoever comes in the third place will be eliminated.

By 4 AM, it was finalized that Gabe was surely going home. Kevin came first, with Bryan in second place.

The final challenge of 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing rolled around, which was to resulted in a double elimination. The chefs had to use a fish. The twist was that each chef could earn extra time by answering trivia questions, but by giving incorrect answers, they would also lose some of their designated time.

The 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing episode ended on a cliffhanger, and we will have to wait till next week to see what happens.
