Guy Fieri brings Flavortown to the competing all-star chefs by sending them two bulky boxes full of frozen food. In both rounds, the three chefs must convert ice-cold ingredients into dishes that the judges deem delicious, daring and, of course, hot and ready-to-eat. The chef who best turns Guy's perilous presents into housewarming dishes gets the chance to spin the Money Wheel and win up to $20,000 in cold hard cash.
Guy Fieri invites two of GGG's winningest chefs to call out the all-star chefs who they believe played a part in their unexpected loss for a shot at winning $10,000. First, Laura Fonner takes on judge Aarti Sequeira, who claimed her red plating wasn't upscale enough. Then, Crista Luedtke calls out Stephanie Izard, who defeated her in tournament play. The chef who makes the best comfort classic using frozen ingredients earns $10,000.
Guy Fieri invites three GGG winners to celebrate the United States' 250th birthday with a star-spangled cook-off. First, the chefs must make an all-American picnic plate that incorporates sample table ingredients like apple pie and corn dogs. Then, the remaining two chefs play a game of cornhole to determine whether their grilled celebration dinner will feature red, white, or blue ingredients. There'll be plenty of fireworks before it's over!
Ree Drummond is showcasing great, easy recipes made with her favorite kitchen heroes. First, a showstopping Surf and Turf Skillet is full of color and flavor. Then, Sweet Heat Chicken Thighs are made in a Dutch oven, Ree's pot of choice for this simple all-in-one dinner. Next, Sausage and Peppers Quarter Sheet Pan Pizza is perfect for two, and a mug stars in a charming Cherry Chocolate Mug Cake, the ideal solo treat.
Rematch on! With pride at stake and determination in their eyes, four previously defeated competitors return to the Chopped kitchen to prove that they are not second-best, after all. As they set out to redeem themselves, the chefs are challenged by a tough cut of meat and a pungent English condiment in the appetizer basket. And the twenty-minute time limit coupled with some very eager chefs leads to a rowdy round. Then as they hustle to assemble the entrees, the chefs have to fight harder than ever to stay in the competition, but with cookies and fish in the basket, impressing the judges is no sure thing. And in the quest to finally become a Chopped Champion, blueberry jellybeans stand in the way of two very determined previous losers.
