This trip, Guy Fieri's diggin' off-the-hook eats from all over the place -- or should we say plates! First, a father-daughter joint in Indianapolis is puttin' a unique spin on authentic Mexican with top-notch turkey tamales, cranberry salsa and the-bomb birria gone vegan. Then in Bradley Beach, N.J., they're servin' up seriously scratch-made specialties like killer Cajun clams and a prime-time pan-seared chicken. Finally, it's gangster Greek in Columbus, Ohio, with flavor-forward faves like fully loaded lamb chops and signature stuffed grape leaves.

It takes a very brave home cook to take on Chopped once, and these amateurs are courageous enough to come back for a second time. In the first round, vegan roast is an ingredient to be reckoned with. In the second round, a small bird and a sugary breakfast item are part of the vexing entree puzzle that the amateurs must solve. Some sweet-and-savory candies and a special spice blend keep the last two competitors on their toes, as they fight to be the last one standing tall as the Chopped Champion.
