The chefs battle in a Chopped chili challenge as they put their own spin on the classic American dish.

After a fun day on the beach, nothing hits the spot quite like a cool, breezy cocktail and lots of delicious bites.

The competition begins with a gory story in the appetizer round, when the chefs find blood sausages in the basket.

Finally, a fat and a dough in the dessert basket result in some decadent dishes.
On this trip, Guy Fieri's got sweet and savory. First up in Pembroke, N.C., he stops by a never-seen-before treat truck to try some knock-out candy apples. Then, an old school diner in Jersey City may have gotten a new name, but the pancakes are still the same. Down the road in Brigantine, N.J., a tried-and-true butcher shop is still grinding and stuffing sausage.
