Four bacon-ators throw down in Flavortown for a shot at $20,000. First, Guy Fieri asks the chefs to create an over-the-top bacon dish but throws them a curveball while they're shopping.

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.
In what may be the best Chopped competition theme ever, the chefs' baskets are packed with bacon, burgers and beer!

And the alliterative theme comes to its boozy conclusion in the dessert round, with beer boldly represented in the baskets.
Guy Fieri gives new meaning to the phrase "bring home the bacon" when he sends two boxes filled with piggy goodness to the houses of three of his chef friends.

The chef who hogs the spotlight with the highest score at the end of both rounds spins the Money Wheel for up to $20,000.
