This one-hour special brings together some of Food Network's favorite hosts for a vacation like no other. The Kitchen's Jeff Mauro and Katie Lee, Chopped's Amanda Freitag, and Guy's Grocery Games' Melissa d'Arabian, along with their families and friends, set sail on The Disney Dream cruise ship for three days of sun, fun and food. Go behind the scenes as the hosts go where no cameras have gone before -- the inner workings of the ship's galleys, the kitchens, where The Dream's talented chefs prepare food for thousands every day. And no cruise would be complete without surf, sand and, of course, incredible meals.
Guy Fieri discovers great food at places you'd never expect to find it: The Minneapolis bowling alley serving up bison hash and trout-and-beet salad; the San Antonio joint located between a carwash and a laundromat, serving up homemade organic food; the Atlanta grocery store where they're cooking up classic dishes with big twists.
Four new pastry chefs are taking on Duff Goldman's Dessert Games in Guy Fieri's market. First, the chefs must turn Guy's favorite diner classic into a sweet diner dessert imposter. Next, the chefs must repurpose a premade cake into an impressive dessert. Finally, the two remaining chefs play a game in which cake candles determine the special ingredient and the special event tied to their decadent chocolate dessert. Which dessert chef will win the $10,000 prize?
Guy Fieri is letting his buddy Duff Goldman temporarily turn Flavortown Market into Sweet City and invite some of America's best pastry chefs to compete in his diabolical Dessert Games. First, they must make an extravagant deep-fried dessert on a budget that Guy has secretly downsized. Then, they must race against the clock to make a late night guilty pleasure in only 20 minutes. Finally, Guy gifts Duff with one of his newest games: a giant gumball machine that determines which wild ingredient must be featured in a tricked-out ice cream sandwich. Whose frozen treat will earn them a guaranteed $10,000?
This trip, Guy's going big on the pig. In Colorado Springs, a funky food truck serving their pork fusion on loaded platters and Colombian arepas. In Minneapolis, an Asian joint tucked away in a grocery store dishing out barbecued pork and pork belly ramen. And across town, a smokehouse firin' up killer wings and a hearty porchetta sandwich.

Guy Fieri and his family rise at dawn in Corpus Christi, Texas to head out on the Gulf in search of snapper. The fishing's good, so they take their catch to a nearby ranch where Guy and his friends fry up the fish, along with some chicken parmesan, for the evening feast. In New Orleans, Guy searches for the perfect po' boy in the back of an off-the-beaten path grocery store before visiting Johnny Sanchez, where Chef Aaron Sanchez shows Guy how to make ceviche and a soft-shell crab sandwich. Finally, a canoe tour of the bayou ends with a festive crawfish boil in fine Cajun form.
Guy's cooking up a game day spread with his Diners buddy Gary Zemola. Gary is topping hot dogs with his Green Tomato Chutney, and Guy is roasting giant Turkey Legs in Maple-Bourbon Brine. Cheesy jumbo pretzels topped like everything bagels and bourbon-spiked Tailgate Sweet Tea are two more menu all-stars.
Today Guy's buddy is coming over to pre-game and help make Chicken and Waffle Sliders. These take juicy fried chicken, crispy waffles, apple-cabbage slaw, sweet-spicy mayo, and put it all together into some championship-winning sandwiches. To go with that, Black Eyed Pea Salad, packed with veggies and plenty of crispy bacon, all in a red wine vinaigrette ... now that's a game-worthy salad!
Guy's getting ready for the big game with a big spread for the whole gang. Cheesy Beef Pupusas, Wings with Garlic Butter Hot Sauce, and Pizza Dip with Crostini will keep the crazy fans cheering through the final play.
