See Episode GuideThe GGG Experience
Guy Fieri gives an unfiltered behind-the-scenes chef's-eye view of the total Flavortown Market experience! From the chefs' arrival to the guided market tour and pre-show pep talk with Guy -- all will be revealed for the first time. But the games are still as challenging as ever, as the competitors visit sample tables to pick the strange ingredients for a Winner, Winner GGG Dinner. One chef will have the experience of a lifetime and walk away with a life-changing $20,000.
Wilderness Chefs
Guy Fieri invites three of the best wilderness chefs he's met on his outdoor adventures to hunt the aisles of Flavortown Market and prepare dishes featuring wild game, all while playing GGG's wild games! First, the chefs must make a fireside favorite using the wild game and wild whammy ingredient they picked up as a two-for-one special at the butcher counter. Then, they’ll have to make an elevated backcountry dinner using the number of ingredients they score in a real deal game of archery. Ultimately, the winning wilderness chef will get a shot at scoring up to $20,000!
Food Network Star Favorites
Guy Fieri brings in four favorites from Food Network Star to compete in some special games. Every Food Network Star contestant knows the importance of demonstrating a unique culinary point of view, so Guy challenges them to make a point-of-view dinner using only ingredients from five sections of the store designated by stars. Then the chefs must make a guilt-free guilty pleasure that includes items from Guy's one-of-a-kind grocery list. The chef with the top combined score after both rounds gets their turn in the spotlight and a shot at winning up to $20,000!
GGG Eggs-travaganza
Guy Fieri discovers his son Hunter and Chef Antonia Lofaso are holding an unannounced all-star chef competition in Flavortown featuring his least favorite food: eggs! He gets roped into playing "Will Guy Eat It?" as the chefs score points based on how many bites of dishes featuring eggs they can get Guy to eat. Then, the chefs try to entice Guy and the judges with ostrich eggs and ingredients from the least desirable sections of the store. The "egg-citement" never ends as one chef will have a chance to win $20,000.
GGG Winners' Face-Off
Four returning winners vie for the title of Ultimate Guy's Grocery Games Champ, but it won't be easy! The chefs compete in a pair of one-on-one sudden-death matches featuring the game Wild Cards. The winners of these dual battles face off in a culinary showdown where two chefs determine their final dish by placing food magnets on a fridge. The highest scoring dish determines who will win a guaranteed $15,000 and the title of Ultimate GGG Champ.
All-Star Rush
Four all-star chefs who feel the need for speed compete in Guy Fieri's most fast-paced game: Grocery Rush! In round one, the chefs serve up a bangin' brunch in only 20 minutes! Then in round two, Guy challenges the chefs to make their favorite noodle dish in 20 minutes using 10 ingredients or fewer. The winner will take a quick shopping trip around Flavortown Market for up to $20,000!
Wine Country Chefs
Three top chefs from Northern California's world-famous wine country compete to show off their superior vintage. Guy Fieri welcomes them to the market with a gift basket full of local artisanal goods that they must feature in their signature dish. Then, the chefs play Spin the Wine Bottle to determine the not-so-romantic budget they'll have to make a romantic dinner. The winning chef will get to shop wine country's favorite market for up to $20,000!
10 Pounds, Two Rounds
Guy Fieri challenges four chefs to take on a Flavortown first, where they'll have to shop for and prepare two complete meals for four using no more than 10 lbs. of total ingredients! After the chefs use more than half their weighted groceries to make a hearty hot lunch, Guy lets them each grab an extra two items from the store's clearance rack to make their weeknight dinner. The winning chef gets a shot at turning 10 lbs. of food into up to $20,000.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Guy Fieri invites four chicken-fanatic chefs from his show Guy's Chance of a Lifetime to put their poultry skills to the test in two rounds of chicken dishes at Flavortown Market. First, the chefs are asked to make a fried chicken starter and shake using only ingredients from half of the store. Then, Guy and his son Hunter put a twist on an egg roll as the chefs toss an egg to determine the unusual ingredients they must use in their chicken dinner. Finally, the top chef gets a shot at winning up to $20,000 -- and that ain't chicken scratch!
Food Network Champs
Guy Fieri welcomes four chefs who've won virtually every Food Network competition to compete on GGG. But to get to the final round, they must first compete in a pair of one-on-one sudden death matches. The two winners of the dual pork dish battle face off in a final culinary confrontation. The chef who satisfies the random restrictions of the food wheel and makes the best Champion's Dinner will win a guaranteed $15,000 and bragging rights for life!
Battle of the Bacon
Guy Fieri's favorite food group is bacon, so he invites four swine-dining chefs to go hog-wild for a shot at $20,000. Over two rounds and a plethora of pork plates, these competitors will have to show up and show snout if they want to win the all-bacon battle.
Sweet and Savory Teams
Guy Fieri knows in order to run a successful restaurant, you've got to have someone in charge of the sweets. To prove it, he invites three sweet and savory duos to cook and bake for a shot at the prize. First, the teams divide and shop their respective side of the store to make a sweet and savory best seller. Then, a massive cake pyramid determines the parameters the teams must meet to make their perfect pairing. In the end, one team will create both a sweet and savory dish worthy of a $20,000 shopping spree.
Winner Winter Games
It's cold outside, but the competition is heating up in Flavortown Market as Guy Fieri welcomes back three previous GGG winners to compete in his winter-themed games. The chefs are all confident that they can win again, but they have to outlast each other over three rounds of ice-cold, brand-new games to create lunch, dinner and an international favorite. Ultimately, only one chef will shred Guy's winter games and the competition to go on a Flavortown shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
Night on the Flavortown
Four new all-star chefs are competing in Flavortown Market for the very first time, and Guy Fieri is giving them one hour to make a fancy three-course dinner complete with a high-end appetizer, entree and dessert. Guy invites each chef to pick a cloche and use the mystery ingredient in multiple courses! To make things even more high-end, Guy makes the chefs buy an extra-expensive extra ingredient mid-cook. The chef who cooks the most high-scoring, high-end meal will get to shop the market for up to $20,000!
Pizza Masters
Guy Fieri invites all-star pizza maestro Chef Christian Petroni to Flavortown to help officiate a throwdown between three pizza-making pros. After making a special delivery of whammy pizza ingredients, Guy and Christian put in an order for the competitors' signature pizzas. Then, Guy brings out the Pizza Wheels of Doom to determine the type of pizza the chefs have to make, and the one with the highest-scoring pies will get the chance to win some serious dough!
Snack Attack
Guy Fieri's teenage son, Ryder, accidentally leaves behind a cart full of his favorite afterschool snacks, so Guy makes four talented, up-and-coming chefs incorporate the snacks into two rounds of GGG hijinks. First, the chefs have to make a weeknight dinner, and the three top-scoring young guns go on to play "Hoops There It Is," in which the number of baskets determines the number of ingredients they can use to make their victory dinner. The winning chef goes on a shopping spree that could change the course of their culinary career!
Dessert Games
Everyone knows Guy Fieri's all about savory dishes, but Buddy Valastro -- the Cake Boss himself -- has convinced Guy to declare it Dessert Day in Flavortown Market. Four dessert chefs show up to sculpt works of art and bake their buns off for a shot at the dough while playing Guy's dessert-enhanced games. The dessert dynamo who concocts the best confections will cake-walk their way through the aisles for a $20,000 shopping spree.
DDD-licious Burgers
Guy Fieri invites his favorite burger chefs from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to compete in Flavortown and grill, baby, grill. First, Guy has the chefs shop for ingredients in their signature burger and loaded fries combo using only tongs and a grill lid. Then, he makes it a party with a Flavortown version of musical chairs that determines the featured ingredients in their out-of-the-box burger and over-the-top sides. The DDD burger pro who gets top grill marks will go on to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
DDD Guilty Pleasures
Guy Fieri invites four chefs from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to make their most craveable creations. In round one, they must make their favorite guilty pleasure using no more than 6.5 pounds of ingredients! Then in round two, the chefs find that Grocery Bowl is right up their alley when it comes to deciding what whammy items they must feature in their decadent diner dinner. The winning DDD chef will get to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000!
Winner, Winner, One Big Dinner
Four GGG winners return to Guy Fieri's Flavortown for a chance to take another crown in one big round! They must make a winner's dinner complete with an appetizer and entrée in a non-stop hour-long battle. First, Guy flips a coin to determine whether they must shop only the odd aisles (no fresh proteins) or the even aisles (no fresh produce). After the chefs deliver their appetizers, Guy flips another coin to determine whether their entrées must include an extra item under $5 or over $20. The chef who makes the highest-scoring winner's dinner will shop the market for up to $20,000
All-Star Game Day Relay
It's Fieri vs. Fieri as Guy and Hunter divide up six of their favorite all-star chefs to see whose team makes the best game day platter. In this tag-team challenge, the team members will enter the market one at a time to perform a single step, be it shopping, cooking or presenting the dishes, and only the chefs who do the initial shopping are told exactly what game day dishes they're making. The team that creates the best and most accurate game day platter will score $15,000 and bragging rights for either Guy or Hunter.
Game Day Super Teams
Guy Fieri loves the Big Game as much as anyone else, so he's pairing up ex-professional NFL players with GGG's all-star judges to see who can make the best game day eats. In the first half of play, Guy divides the market in half, forcing the teams to split up and shop their sides of the store for their game day platter. In the finals, Guy tests the remaining teams' throwing skills by having them toss footballs into ice buckets to earn key ingredients for their 6-foot sub. When the game clock runs out, the winning team gets the hardware, the glory and the chance to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
