Top Chef Masters is back for season four... and headed to Viva Las Vegas. In true Sin City fashion, the Chefs will be playing a culinary card game to get their ingredients, judged by Las Vegas dealers. The Chefs will then have to break into teams to create a high-end buffet on the strip, but this is no ordinary buffet, as the Masters will be feeding the performers from all of the hot shows in town.

Knives are drawn and the display of extraordinary talent begins in the most ordinary of places - a grocery store. Master chef’s Roy Yamaguchi (Roy's Restaurants), Art Smith (Table Fifty-Two), Michael Cimarusti (Providence), and Jonathan Waxman (Barbuto) pass the quickfire round and are faced with a mystery box from which they must concoct their elimination challenge meals.

The top six chefs have advanced to the finals and now must face-off for the ultimate title of Top Chef Master. Each is asked to produce their signature dish, only to find they must then re-create their competitor’s unique dish.

It’s a battle of the burgers as the five remaining chefs strive to create an American classic. In the elimination challenge, the Masters must prepare the perfect meal for an exclusive celebrity lunch thrown by actress and singer-song-writer Zooey Deschanel.

The Chefs are tasked with taking ordinary salad bar ingredients and making them "pop" for music legends, the B-52’s. Then the Chefs will head to the Grand Canyon for a cookout like never before. The Chefs will be paired up to cook for the Hualapai tribe, using ingredients from the tribe’s sacred land.
