It's a sweet wake-up call when Scott Conant challenges four chefs to make breakfast-themed desserts. The baskets are full of reminders of the most-important meal of the day, including a coffee drink, a cleverly designed candy and waffle dough.

This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbing everything from brunch to burgers! In Louisville, Ky., a breakfast-lunch spot crankin' out southern comfort, like lamb grits and fried bologna. Then, an eclectic burger joint cooking up a pork belly Cuban and killer veggie burger. And in Portland, Ore., a diner-restaurant mashup dishin' out decadent donut sliders and chicken and waffles with a kick.
The chefs battle for the lead in the first round, as they try to figure out what to do with a potent ingredient: so-called 100-year-old eggs! Then in the second round, mango pudding must make its way into the competitors' main course dishes. And with waffle cones in the final basket, will either chef make ice cream for dessert?
Michael Symon starts in Savannah, where fried chicken and pancake tacos are a delicious reinvention of classic chicken and waffles.

This trip, Guy Fieri is trackin' down off-the-chain chicken from across the globe. In Salt Lake City, there's a unique curry-chicken mashup, and in Albuquerque, N.M, the chicken is down-home fried alongside a sweet take on waffles. Plus, in Grand Junction, Col., the bird's nested in tacos at a spot also puttin' an outrageous culinary spin on guacamole.
