Tonight, the four generations—Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials and Gen Z—go head-to-head as the Top 20 enter the MasterChef kitchen on the new season featuring Generations.

For their first Mystery Box Challenge, Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez and Joe Bastianich present each of the home chefs with a childhood photo of them for the challenge, which is to create a restaurant-worthy dish that highlights their favorite nostalgic comfort foods from their youth.

The most impressive dish grants an entire generation immunity from elimination while a chef from the remaining three teams risks going home in the all-new “Back to the Future—Mystery Box” episode of MasterChef: Generations.

Here are the Top 20 competing home chefs:
