On this trip, Guy Fieri's grabbing standout sandwiches and diving into some serious spice. In Longmont, Colo., a spot putting out a primo pork burger and going crazy with cauliflower. In Columbus, Ohio, a Chicago-style joint killin' it with Italian beef and real deal gyros. And Food Network's Aarti Sequeira and Jet Tila join Guy in Los Angeles, where a champion chef dishes out fiery Thai specialties that will get your taste buds hoppin'!
The score is tied so Buddy Valastro and Duff Goldman are both eager to get ahead by making cakes for a Bollywood-themed party hosted by celebrity chef Aarti Sequeira. Inspired by the culture, colors and art of Bollywood, Buddy sets out to create a multi-tiered cake with all the bells and whistles to emphasize his talents. Duff, however, hopes the intricate detail on his smaller cake will earn the win.
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!
