And that’s genius, so congratulations. Well deserved,” said chef Jorge Rausch to Henry, who went out onto the balcony and made his pass to the semi-finals.

In the second phase, the remaining four cooks had to prepare sole fish dishes, item they found under the mystery box. For this challenge, they had 45 minutes and the pantry was open.
