The five food truck teams are tested as they go deep-sea fishing in order to earn their seed money from Tyler Florence. The Alaskan elements are taking their toll not just on the teams but also on the trucks. One truck breaks down on the side of the road, and several teams underestimate the huge demand for their food in Homer, struggling to meet demand and keep their kitchens stocked.

Guy Fieri kicks off summer with a four-part tournament featuring popular summer rituals, games and grilled foods. Three of Guy's favorite Diners, Drive-ins and Dives chefs join him for a DDD-style backyard bash, turning classic diner dishes into backyard burgers and sides. Then the two highest-scoring chefs go toe-to-toe in a game of horseshoes -- lead by Guy and his son Hunter -- to determine how many whammy ingredients they must include in their grilled chicken dish. The chef with the highest combined score for both rounds wins $10,000 plus a spot in the big Summer Games finale.
The Kitchen is making a whole menu of delicious dishes featuring summer's best produce!

It's time for the celebs to shred some serious gnar when they discover boot camp has been transformed into WC Peaks, a winter chalet. The recruits compete in a series of winter-inspired culinary games, and then mentors Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro task the recruits with making a classic apres-ski snack, loaded waffles. In the main dish challenge, the chefs demonstrate classic European schnitzel with potato sides. The two recruits with the least successful dishes must compete in the blind elimination challenge and attempt to cook their way into another week of boot camp.
It's halfway through the competition, and it's time to turn up the heat! Anne Burrell and Jeff Mauro start by having teams compete in a game called The Inferno Zone, where recruits must taste spicy ribs, find ingredient balls hidden in a hot tub and play catch with their Velcro suits! Then, the recruits create their own spicy wontons before Anne and Jeff teach their teams how to make spice-rubbed steaks and sides. The recruits with the most successful dishes live another week in boot camp, but the ones who can't take the heat are sent home.
