Temperatures are starting to dip, fall sports are underway and this weekend your favorite Food Network chefs are sharing their favorite recipes for the ultimate tailgate. On Saturday morning, Trisha Yearwood is throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game, but before that, her sister, Beth, and her nephew, Bret, are helping her make Baked Chicken Tenders and a Hard Cider Cocktail at the tailgate. Then, on The Kitchen, Katie Lee is sharing her recipe for slow-cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili, and Sunny Anderson is making her Cheese and Charcuterie Football. After that, Eddie Jackson is joining Valerie Bertinelli in the kitchen to make Slow-Cooker Sloppy Joe Sliders and Sweet-Tea-and-Lemonade Lager for her football-themed party.

On Sunday morning, Guy Fieri is bringing spicy and fresh flavors to his tailgate fare with his roasted turkey and cranberry-onion jam sandwich and a recipe for homemade BBQ Potato Chips. Then, after video chatting about football with his daughter, Sophie, Bobby Flay is making a tailgate-worthy brunch featuring Apple Crisp French Toast Casserole and an easy frittata sandwich.

Sunday night on Guy’s Grocery Games, grandparents are taking over Flavortown and in one of the rounds, they must make their grandkids’ favorite dish using 10 ingredients or less! Then, the five remaining teams on Halloween Wars are channeling haunted roadside motels to create their Halloween displays, and on Worst Bakers in America, the bakers have some new critics to impress: little trick-or-treaters!

It's mash-up mania on the ranch, and Ree is proving two is better than one! For a family dinner, Italian and Mexican merge in a magical Chicken Enchilasagna. A combo of Zucchini Bread Waffles with cream cheese syrup is a doubly delicious pairing for the kids' breakfast, then flavors unite in a delicious batch of Potato Chip Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Cheeseburger Salad.

Five remaining teams — each made up of an expert pumpkin carver, a cake decorator and a sugar artist — go to battle to create delicious Halloween displays that capture the scariest haunted roadside motel ever seen. At the end of the battle, one team will be eliminated with help from special guest judge Sid Haig, an actor and a horror icon who has appeared in several hits, including Halloween and The Devil's Rejects.
