1Tim Mälzer vs. Maria GroßTim Mälzer's first challenge takes him to Prague, where he is challenged with apple strudel with vanilla sauce. Maria's first task takes her to Hungary, where she is expected to prepare pörkölt with spaetzle and cucumber salad.
2Tim Mälzer vs. Hans NeunerFirst, Tim Mälzer goes to Lisbon. There he is confronted with a bloody rooster. Now the chef is challenged to demonstrate all of his skills. Tim Mälzer's second stop is his hometown of Hamburg. Dish number two is a tough one, because the quality is undisputed. For the first time in the history of "Kitchen Impossible", Tim speaks of a task that will push him to his limits. Hans Neuner goes to Tel Aviv. There he is to recreate "Shakshuka". Hans is still not sure: is the merciless Shakshuka fan community or baking bread more worrying? The second task awaits in Sweden: reindeer. The seemingly simple dish turns out to be a real challenge in the end.
3Tim Raue vs. Meta HiltebrandIn Escholzmatt in Switzerland, Tim Raue is faced with a difficult task: he has to recreate a dish by Stefan Wiesner, a star chef who is also known as "the Sorcerer". And that's not all: Tim has to prepare the delicacies in the great outdoors. The second location of the challenge is also outdoors: the largest market place in Marrakesh. Here the top chef has to recreate a lamb tagine with couscous. In Lithuania, a genuine national dish awaits Meta Hiltebrand: cold beetroot soup. This task doesn't scare her, but the Lithuanian Baumkuchen does. Stop number two is South Korea. There she has to prepare abalone and sea urchin, two dishes by Jung Sik Yim, the best chef in the country and also a good friend of "Kitchen Impossible" opponent Tim Raue.
4Tim Mälzer vs. Holger BodendorfTim Mälzer's first trip is to Tromsøs in Norway. He has to catch the fish himself for "Emma's Fish au Gratin", originally by Rolf-Johan Kanstad. Encountering wild pods of whales on the open sea while fishing is a real spectacle for Tim. The second location of the challenge promises real exoticism: Holger Bodendorf sends Tim to Dubai. There he is supposed to prepare cold & warm mezze, more precisely Ouzi, Baba Ghanouj, Stuffed Grape Leaves, Mohammarah and Burgul Bil Banadoura from chef Ali el Bourji. Holger Bodendorf has two typical dough dishes waiting for him in the Croatian capital: he is supposed to prepare Strukli and Soparnik, originally by Ana Grgic, in Zagreb. Then the “fine Mr. Bodendorf” goes to London. Tim Mälzer wants him to get to know the harsh world of English football and grill for West Ham United fans together with former butcher and fan "Rib Man" Mark Gevaux.
5Roland Trettl vs. Christian LohseFirst, Roland Trettl goes to Bad Oeynhausen where he is supposed to cook something typically Westphalian after he has learned the traditional art of baking bread. Then he has to cook “Stippgrütze with Westphalian rye bread,” an original recipe from Dirk Timmerberg. For the second challenge he goes to Charleston in the USA, where he has to prepare "Shrimp & Grits, Fried Green Tomatoes and Red Slaw", an original recipe by Robert Stehling from the Hominy Grill, with shrimp he caught himself. Christian Lohse is sent to wonderful Venice by his opponent Roland Trettl. He has to prepare "Ragù di Baccalà" and recognize the specialty and peculiarity of this Italian classic from original chef Franco Favaretto from "Baccalà Divino". The second task is also Italian and brings with it a touch of home flair: Christian is supposed to prepare "Gnocchi di melanzane al pomodoro" in a grand hotel in Taormina.
6Tim Mälzer vs. Christian LohseOnce again, the Francophile Christian Lohse chooses a French classic as a challenge for Tim Mälzer: Bouillabaisse. In Austria, the Hamburg native can expect "Styrian scallops with cow's udder".
7Tim Mälzer vs. Tim RaueTim Mälzer sends Tim Raue to the small village of Caimari on Mallorca. Here Tim Raue has to cook two dishes that, just like this place on the Germans' favorite island, have a very special meaning for Tim Mälzer.
