The second episode, 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing, aired on May 4, 2025, along with the third episode. Hosted by Michael Symon and Esther Choi, the show's latest episodes featured a series of challenges, including two guest judges.

The second episode featured a head-to-head battle between Stephanie Izard and Lawrence Smith. Fans witnessed both chefs skipping the competition during the first head-to-head battle. They opted for "breakroom" then, however, the latest episode featured an exciting battle between the two. While Izard won the Golden Knife, Lawrence Smith was eliminated from the second episode.

The second elimination was Laurence Louie. It happened after the next challenge, which was to prepare the best noodle dish. The twist was that participants had to prepare the "best" dish after tasting a noodle dish. They had to correctly guess the ingredients, apart from the traditional ingredients.

It was a blind taste after which chefs were to prepare their own noodle dish. After falling short in making the best noodle dish compared to the rest of the chefs, Laurence Louie was sent home.
