It's crunch time, and Guy Fieri is putting his friends to a texture test. Traci Des Jardins is first up with a tasty and tangy Crunchy Michelada and gets cheeky with Beef Cheek Tacos Dorados. Gerry Garvin tempts Guy with some Crispy Shaved Brussels Sprouts and a Southern Fried Tilapia Po-Boy. Aaron May goes deep with Onion Rings Chicharron and soothes his sweet tooth with Pistachio Brittle with Sea Salt. Christian Petroni makes classic Fried Calamari with Spicy Red Sauce and honors his mom with her Crispy Chicken Cutlets.
Guy Fieri is craving homemade street food from his chef friends. Rocco DiSpirito is inspired by Italy and makes crunchy Flatbread with Stracchino then travels east for Japanese-Style Street Meat using a custom binchotan grill. Traci Des Jardins mixes things up with a Bun Bowl and fried Churros with Mexican Hot Chocolate Spice Mix. Aaron May recalls a rainy day in London with delicious Fish and Chips and goes underground with a black-market Nutcracker. Jet Tila fills his plate with some Filipino-style Lumpia Eggrolls and a Pork and Pate Banh Mi.
Guy Fieri gives his chef friends a game day challenge in the kitchen. Eric Greenspan fries Fingerling Potatoes and serves them with Onion Dip and Caviar before sandwiching some Nashville-style Hot Chicken Tenders on soft Hawaiian Rolls. Then, Eric sweetens the day with Funnel Cake served with Blueberry Marmalade and Whipped Yogurt. Antonia Lofaso treats her Bloody Maria to a lot of tequila and braises some Oxtail Tostadas coupled with Pickled Cabbage, Radishes and Avocado Crema. Marc Murphy goes old-school with classic Lasagna and scores a goal with Twice-Baked Lobster Stuffed Potatoes.

Duskie Estes fries up crispy Cauliflower with a Tahini Dipper, Labneh and Smoky Eggplant and dives right into richness with her Pork Belly Gyro. Gerry Garvin whips up a delicious Crazy Burger topped with a fried egg and sweetens things up with a Warm Doughnut Bread Pudding covered in Crispy Bacon.
