Diane DiMeo Beat Bobby Flay
Russo competed against Diane, executive chef, and owner of BarRachos Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn. The ingredient chosen by Bobby Flay was tuna steak. Russo created a dish with Hawaiin and French influences, a surf-and-turf style seared tuna with bacon, mushrooms, and Swiss chard in cinnamon, red wine gastrique.
DiMeo prepared smoked sashimi tuna with mint chimichurri, grilled tomatoes, corn, and pickled red onion.

In a joint consensus, Cho and Allen gave Russo the boot, ending his chances.
