It all comes down to this -- the semifinals and grand finale! Guy Fieri welcomes the final four culinary teams back to the festive battlefield for two jolly head-to-heads. The last teams standing will face off in a holiday championship cook-off where only one team will walk away with the trophy, the glory, big bucks for charity, and a sleigh-load of $100,000. It's the most wonderful finale of the year!
The star ingredient gives everyone goosebumps, including Chopped's Scott Conant and comedic actress Cheri Oteri. Texas chef Nick Walker and Bosnian chef Senada Grbic hope to return the favor to Bobby Flay with a win in the second round.
Although eight teams arrive to compete, it's the Los Angeles heat that leads the race -- and not in a good way. Special guest and all-star season winner Lime Truck challenges the teams to an eye-opening, head-to-head selling competition. As if that weren't tough enough, all the teams struggle with finding good spots with enough crowds to sell in the City of Angels. Tensions come to a boiling point when one team's home field advantage adds fuel to the already smoldering rivalries.
