Flavortown honors the family members who taught many people how to cook: grandmas! First, Guy Fieri has the grandmas cook their most requested family dish while sticking to the restrictions that a typical family member might complain about most. Then, the grandmas cook their celebratory dinners using two of the samples Guy has featured around the market. When all is said and done, one grandma will outdo the others to earn an automatic $15,000.
Ultimate Asian Food Showdown
Asian cuisine takes over Flavortown as four chefs face Guy Fieri's challenges. He gives them a list of ingredients for their noodle dishes and makes them use tiny shopping carts to shop for their rice dishes. The final challenge involves a featured special ingredient for a beef dinner, and ultimately only one Asian cuisine ace beats out the others and wins a shot at a $20,000 shopping spree.
Mother of All Shows
Guy Fieri enlists the help of his mom, Penny, and his wife, Lori, in his Mother's Day games featuring teams of moms and their children who run family restaurants together. For starters, Guy has the family duos pick from four unique sample ingredients to feature in their top-sellers. Then he makes the kids shop for the ingredients for a prized family recipe only to have Mom take over mid-shop to prove that "mother shops best." In the end, the winning team will go on a Mother's Day shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
All Star Moms
Three all-star judges -- Beau MacMillan, Aarti Sequeira and Justin Warner -- and their moms are ready to shop and cook their way to a $20,000 victory for charity. First, Guy Fieri's mom gives the judge/mom duos a list of mandatory ingredients to feature in a Mother's Day dinner. Next, the chefs throw it back to their childhoods when Guy has them do all the shopping for their childhood favorite using kiddie carts. Mamma mia!
Relay: All-Star Moms vs. Dads
Guy Fieri invites three all-star chef moms and three all-star chef dads to a team showdown. In a relay-style event, the teammates work on their dish one at a time in 10-minute shifts. The first chef does the shopping and prepping, the middle chef does most of the cooking and the final chef plates and presents the team dish. Only the first chef on each team is told they're making an elevated kids' favorite that must include three classic lunchbox treats. The chefs in the later shifts will be working blind, cooking and presenting dishes based on their best guess of what the teammate before them was making. The team that successfully creates the best and most accurate version of the requested dish will go on a relay shopping spree for up to $15,000!
DDD Summer Games, Part 1: Backyard Bash
Guy Fieri kicks off summer with a four-part tournament featuring popular summer rituals, games and grilled foods. Three of Guy's favorite Diners, Drive-ins and Dives chefs join him for a DDD-style backyard bash, turning classic diner dishes into backyard burgers and sides. Then the two highest-scoring chefs go toe-to-toe in a game of horseshoes -- lead by Guy and his son Hunter -- to determine how many whammy ingredients they must include in their grilled chicken dish. The chef with the highest combined score for both rounds wins $10,000 plus a spot in the big Summer Games finale.
DDD Summer Games, Part 2: Extreme Tailgating
Guy Fieri knows that tailgating parties and summer go hand-in-hand, so he starts Part 2 of the DDD Summer Games with three DDD chefs and a "Flavortown 500" race with remote-control cars. The chef that crosses the finish line first gets first pick of proteins to use in two tailgating bites. In round two, the two top-scoring chefs are tasked by Guy and his son Hunter to play a game of Grocery Pong to determine the number of ingredients they can use in a showstopping sandwich. The chef with the highest combined score wins even more bread -- $10,000 -- and a spot in the finale!
DDD Summer Games, Part 3: Camp Cook-Off
Guy Fieri's summer tournament continues with three DDD chefs competing in camping-themed games. First, they must make a fireside pork dinner using only items they can throw in a small backpack while following a narrow trail that bypasses half the aisles and avoiding trail dangers such as a wild bear and falling rocks. Then the two top-scoring chefs must try their luck with Hunter Fieri's slingshot, knocking down the canned items they don't want to feature in their grilled fish feast. The chef who hooks the highest combined score gets the catch of the day -- $10,000 -- plus a spot in the tournament finale!
DDD Summer Games Finale
It's the end of Guy Fieri's Summer Games, so he has the three DDD finalists take a virtual summer road trip! The chefs cruise the store and stop at "roadside" stands to pick up state-inspired food items that they must feature in an upscale diner dish. Then the two top-scorers salute that iconic road trip destination, Las Vegas, by playing a budget version of blackjack -- with special guest dealer Hunter Fieri -- to determine how much they can spend on ingredients for their steak dinner. The chef with the highest score at the end of both rounds wins the $25,000 tournament jackpot!
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!
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.
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.
Ultimate Spicy Games
Guy Fieri welcomes back the winners of previous GGG spicy competitions and pits them against each other. In the first two rounds, the three chefs make their spiciest and hometown heat dishes until only one is left standing. The remaining chef wins $10,000 and gets a chance at another $10,000 if they can beat Flavortown's resident Spicy Queen, Chef Antonia Lofaso.
Hunter's Whammy Cart
Guy Fieri's son Hunter has run out of time to restock the store, so he puts six returned items in each chef's cart. The chefs must use all six items over the course of both rounds, starting with a hometown favorite dish. In round two, the competitors make a grilled feast using their remaining mandatory items and ingredients from only the odd or even aisles. Finally, the winner gets to shop the entire store for up to $20,000.
Wild and Crazy Budget Games
Things get wild in Flavortown when Guy Fieri challenges four talented chefs with budget games that might be too crazy for their own good. The chefs pick a card to determine how much they can spend when shopping for their comfort food dishes, and speed is a factor as they make spicy noodle bowls. Then Guy gives the chefs a choice of proteins for their steakhouse dinners, but each protein comes with a budget for the rest of the ingredients. The last chef standing gets to go on a shopping spree worth 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!
Nothin' but Noodles
Guy Fieri is known for his Italian roots, and that means he's got a lot of noodle-knowledge. He decides to bring in four noodle-savvy chefs from across the US for two rounds of highflying noodle action. One talented chef will use their noodle with their noodles to earn a shot at $20,000, and it's guaranteed that someone is going to get saucy.
Host with the Most
Three food-loving GGG winners who have already proven they can cook like pros are back for the title of Host with the Most. First, Guy Fieri makes them tackle a budget battle to show they can make championship game day bites without taking a bite out of their wallet. Then, Guy and Hunter invite them to create a party plate for a special occasion, and the cooks pull out all the stops. Ultimately, Guy rewards the event's hottest culinary host in an ending you have to see to believe!
DDD International
When Guy Fieri rolls out across the country visiting diners, drive-ins and dives, he enjoys flavors from around the world. Now he's bringing those flavors back home by inviting four DDD chefs to cook their off-the-charts world cuisine in Flavortown Market. First, they must meld a classic diner dish with their own global flavors to create an international diner favorite. Then, the chefs pick a Wild Card to determine the wild ingredient in a meal that celebrates their culinary heritage, and one chef gets to celebrate a win worth up to $20,000!
Burger Ballers
Guy Fieri invites four "burgermeisters" who think outside of the bun to test the boundaries of what a burger can be. First, he challenges each of them to pound out four heavy-hitting burgers using only six pounds of ingredients. Then, they slide "sliders" to select the unorthodox ingredient they must incorporate into both their cheeseburger and side dish. The best burger baller gets to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.
Salute the Troops
Guy Fieri honors America's men and women in uniform by inviting four military vets with a culinary second-calling to play his GGG games. They join forces with the Messlords, a group of DDD chefs who travel the world cooking for the troops. First, Guy has the Messlord-veteran teams run through a Flavortown obstacle course while shopping for their American comfort classic. Then, the Messlord must carry their team's rucksack while shopping double-time for a victory dinner. In the end, one of the heroic duos will complete the mission and shop Flavortown for up to $20,000 while a platoon-sized audience of fellow vets cheers them on!
Best Burgers
Guy Fieri brings in four baller burgermeisters for a bodacious burger battle. First, they must make an over-the-top cheeseburger using 10 items or fewer. Then, the three chefs who make the top-scoring burgers each receive a unique 2-for-1 special at the butcher counter -- an alternate ground meat plus an unusual produce item -- as must-have ingredients for their winning burger and fries. The winning burger chef will have it their way by shopping the market for up to $20,000.
Burgers or Bust
It's burger night in Flavortown Market, and four chefs who specialize in making baller burgers are going head-to-head to find out which burger expert reigns supreme. Guy Fieri starts things off strong by having the chefs make a double burger, but they have to get creative because all the burger buns in Flavortown Market are out of stock! Then the chefs go all out to make an epic loaded spicy burger -- plus a shake to cool the judges down. The chef who makes the most bodacious burgers will get a shot at winning up to $20,000!
