Six-Courses Kaiseki in Celebration of the 2020 Olympics | Top Chef: Los Angeles

In celebration of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan (prior to its postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic), the chefs prepared a six-course kaiseki at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for guest judges Niki Nakayama and Carole Iida-Nakayama, sportscaster Mike Tirico, and Olympic athletes Diana Taurasi, Rai Benjamin, Nastia Liukin, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Christian Coleman, and Kerri Walsh Jennings. Each chef was responsible for one course of the kaiseki, which consisted of sakizuke (appetizer), owan (soup), yakimono (flame-grilled), mushimono (steamed), shokuji (rice), and mizumono (dessert). As the winner of the Quickfire Challenge, Melissa was able to choose her own course and assign her competitors' courses. The winner received two tickets to the Olympics.
