An upscale sandwich challenge on Next Level Chef pushes contestants to their limits

Tonight's episode of Next Level Chef saw the judges welcome the remaining contestants to the competition. Gordon Ramsay's team had all six members, Richard and Nyesha's squad had each lost a person, which left them with five each.

After last week's elimination, Nyesha's team was cooking from the basement, Gordon's team from the middle, and Richard's was cooking from the top.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled No Pain, No Gain, reads:

"The chefs are challenged with making an upscale sandwich; one chef is eliminated."

The Next Level Chef contestants began making their own versions of the upscale sandwich. They had to take the humble ingredients and make the sandwich bougie. However, chefs Darryl and Cassie forgot to take the bread from the elevator. Considering that the elevator only stood for a total of 30 seconds on each floor, it put a lot of stress on the participants to pick the right ingredients.

Many other contestants faced issues throughout the episode. Vinny overcooked his salmon, while Cassie burnt her cheese crisp and eventually forgot to put it on the plate.

Some chefs dropped a few ingredients while placing them on the elevator. Other participants forgot to put the "mid-round mayhem" ingredient - pickle - on the plate. All three teams struggled with their dishes and stumbled under pressure.

Nuri from chef Nyesha's team won the challenge and saved his teammates from elimination. Chef Gordon chose Vinny (Vincent) and chef Richard chose Darryl to compete in the elimination round.
