Guy Fieri challenges his talented chef friends to a friendly-fire culinary competition. First, he blindsides everyone with a blindfold tasting challenge that'll have the chefs all wrapped up in a mystery ingredient wrap. Next, he tosses in some trivia to throw them off their game. Then, it's off to the races with Chef Maneet Chauhan showing some competitive grit with Shrimp Moilee and Upma Grits, Chef Antonia Lofaso looking to impress judges Jonathan Waxman and Stephanie Izard with Lobster Cavatelli and Chef Jonathon Sawyer betting on Bone-in Alaskan Halibut Steak au Poivre to bring home the trophy.

Then in Charlotte, N.C., a hot dog haven is branching out of the bun with a Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and an O.G. Triple D alum right down the street is dishing out tacos and crab puppies.

Chef George Stella is right at home as he cooks up a smorgasbord of his favorite Italian dishes. He assembles a beautiful antipasto platter of sliced meats and cheeses topped with fresh basil that takes only a few minutes to prepare. He makes an Anaheim shrimp scampi with spaghetti squash in lieu of pasta; a radicchio salad with a simple and light raspberry vinaigrette; and he finishes the meal off with low carb neopolitan parfaits topped with strawberries and mint for garnish.
Top 5 Tips
1. Don't peel cucumbers -- the skin is full of vitamins and nutrients.
2. Remember to buy unsweetened cocoa powder for the parfaits, not a cocoa drink mix.
3. Radicchio is a great Italian lettuce you can buy in most grocery stores. Cut the core off the bottom, throw it away, and peel off the leaves.
4. If you can't find fresh raspberries for the salad, substitute frozen ones without added sugar.
5. Stock your pantry with a low carb staple: hearts of palm.
