Four more DDD chefs compete to earn up to $20,000 plus the last spot in the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Tournament finale by making classic diner meals. First, the chefs must create a lunch counter special using only ingredients that start with a specific letter of the alphabet. Next, they must make a deluxe diner dinner on a not-so-deluxe budget. Finally, Guy takes the last two chefs on a culinary road trip to determine which regional take on a chicken entree they must make.
Guy Fieri pairs the remaining six Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' chefs into teams to navigate Flavortown's Budget Bridge. Each cooking duo is given under $20 to create a classic food duo. The top two duos continue their race for the $30,000 grand prize, while the bottom duo faces off in a seafood dinner budget battle in the elimination round.
The five remaining Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' chefs take on the next stop in Guy Fieri's Flavortown 500 race, Takeout Turnpike. The three chefs who make the best burger and side, using only nine ingredients, continue on to the finale. In the elimination round, the bottom two chefs must shop fast and furious for ingredients to make takeout noodles before closing time to earn the last spot in the finale worth $30,000!
