The six remaining Flavortown judges form teams of two to prepare a regional seafood dish on limited funds in a Budget Battle with an unprecedented twist. The bottom two teams break up in an every-chef-for-themselves cook-off in the Redemption Round. Guy Fieri then declares 'Dinner Rush!' and the four judges have only 20 minutes to make an elevated guilty pleasure that will determine who will move on to the tournament semi-finals.
Three GGG competitors are returning to Flavortown to compete in teams with their mothers! They have two rounds of Guy Fieri's games to prove that they have chemistry in the kitchen. First, things get nostalgic when they have to update a childhood favorite food -- only to have Guy throw a wrench in their plans. Then, the teams must make Mom's dream meal on a budget of less than $14. In the end, only one pair will beat out the rest and earn a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
Four thrifty chefs are given only one five-minute shop and $60 to buy all the groceries to last them the entire competition. Without returning to the market to replenish their supplies, the chefs must make a comfort classic breakfast, a spicy lunch and a fried dinner. The chef that makes their single shop count and serves up the best meals earns a final Flavortown shopping trip worth up to $20,000.
Three of the best all-star chefs take on the most extreme ABC game yet! The chefs are given a whopping $100 each to make a comfort classic, but before they can cook, they must compete in an alphabet auction conducted by celebrated auctioneer Franco Finn! Chefs must outbid each other to earn the unique letters all their ingredients must start with. Guy Fieri ups the ante by making the chefs bid for not only their letter but also the crazy canned item their international dinner must feature. The all-star chef whose dishes taste, smell and spell the best will get a shot at winning $20,000!
Teachers who love to cook partner up with all-star chefs in hopes of schooling the competition! First, the teacher/chef duos solve math and geography clues to discover the mandatory ingredients for their elevated school lunch. Then comes the big spelling test in which teams make a graduation dinner using only foods that begin with the letters "B" and "C." After showing all their work on the plate, the team with the highest score earns supermarket scholarship money worth up to $20,000.
Three sandwich fanatics show Guy Fieri their stacked skills in Flavortown Market to earn some bread. First, the chefs have to make a decadent sandwich with the cheese and bread picks they select in a Fantasy Food Draft. The winner gains an automatic $10,000 and faces off against the all-star judge of their choice in a final sandwich showdown to see who can make the best mile-high sandwich using one ingredient per aisle. Whoever makes the highest-scoring sandwich wins a second $10,000 prize.
Guy Fieri invites all-star chefs to throw down in one of the coldest competitions ever. The celebrated chefs are given just one hour to make a hot appetizer and dinner party plate using only ingredients from the frozen section. Their dishes must be well "thawed" out because they have to include a different flavor of ice cream in each one. There's no time to chillax when up to $20,000 in cold hard cash is up for grabs!
It's a family affair in Flavortown when two restaurant-owning families compete for a chance at a $20,000 shopping spree. Each round, the families must choose one member to compete in a challenge that will earn a key advantage in the next round. First, they must make their family favorite on a tight budget. Then, Guy Fieri asks them to make their best burger, but he gives them a list of key ingredients they can't use. Finally, the last member of each family decides which dish they'll be making from Guy's refrigerator magnets.
To celebrate America and the people who have served it, Guy Fieri invites four chef veterans from different branches of the military to compete in two summer-themed games. And for the first time ever, it's all done in front of a live audience made entirely of veterans. First, the chefs have to make a summer seafood feast using what they can fit into a shockingly small mini-cooler. Then, the chef-vets will have to elevate a summer classic dish as decided by a game of Corn Hole. Only one chef will be crowned winner of GGG's salute to summer and earn a $20,000 payday.
Guy Fieri brings back four GGG winners who are also proud mothers to prove mom cooks it best. First, they make a weeknight favorite using nothing but canned, packaged and processed pantry items. Then, Guy makes the perfect grocery list for an apple pie bake-off, but his mom thinks these talented chefs should make something more "innovative." Ultimately, the mom that turns apple pie ingredients into the best innovative family dinner will win up to $20,000.
