Tournament of Champions Season 6 Winner

Sunday night at 8pm ET on Food Network is the two-hour season 6 finale of Tournament of Champions. There are four chefs remaining who are competing for bragging rights and a $150,000 prize. The final four chefs are Lee Anne Wong, Britt Rescigno, Sara Bradley, and Antonia Lofaso.  Antonia and Britt were also in the final four last year (and previous seasons), so they are no strangers to getting this far in Tournament of Champions.  As all four chefs are female, that guarantees that every season so far of Tournament of Champions has had a female winner.

For the semi-finals of season 6, Antonia Lofaso will face Britt Rescigno and Lee Anne Wong will face  Sara Bradley. The two winners of those match-ups will face off in the finale to determine the winner of Tournament of Champions season six.

Here is a previous post about all of the matchups and outcomes for season 6 of Tournament of Champions, but below is how the final four got to this point:
