Guy Fieri

Ghosts of GGG Past

Bacon Masters

Guy Fieri brings in chefs from the four corners of the U.S. to see which region has the tastiest food. He starts off the competition by asking the chefs to cook their best regional sandwich, but on a budget. Then they have to make seafood dishes using ingredients from around the market. Finally, Guy's food wheel decides where the remaining two chefs get to shop for their regional comfort food dishes. In the end, only one chef will prove that their region reigns supreme and go on a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.

Battle America

It seems like Flavortown Market has miles of aisles, but the four competing chefs find out the hard way that even the biggest aisle can be limiting if it's the only one they can shop. Guy Fieri uses his newest game, the Aisle Wheel, to restrict the chefs to just one aisle in each round. He even throws in some of his own twists and turns along the way as the chefs are challenged to make a hot lunch, comfort food and dinner spread. Only one chef will make it out and go on to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.

Single-Aisle Showdowns

Guy Fieri invites four carnival food-loving chefs to play carnival classics, Grocery Games-style. First, he turns a popular strength test game into a finesse challenge to determine which ingredient the chefs must feature in their classic carnival treat. Then a simple game of ring toss determines the main protein for their best dish on a stick. In the final round, Guy combines strength and accuracy when he has the chefs popping balloons with darts to determine which aisles they can shop. In the end, only one carnival food chef will out-carny the others and go on to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.

Guy's Carnival Games

uy Fieri unveils the ultimate strategy game in which the four competing chefs must decide whether to use six, eight or ten ingredients before knowing what kind of dish they're making. The chefs have to decide whether to go big early to ensure a spot in the later rounds or risk using fewer ingredients upfront so they can finish with a strong, multifaceted dish. Ultimately, one chef will pick the right limits and go on to win a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.

Express Lane Extreme: Name Your Number

The bacon masters are back at it again when Guy Fieri welcomes four of the best bacon chefs to Flavortown Market for a real test of hog love. First, Guy has them make their best bacon sandwich after shopping in little, piggy-themed carts. Then the chefs have to stay under an ingredient weight limit when making their second bacon dish. Finally, the remaining bacon chefs are surprised with a misleading pig chart that gives them insane ingredients to incorporate in their spicy bacon dish. In the end, only one bacon chef will put the others out to pasture and bring home up to $20,000.

Four GGG competitors are back for redemption, but they might regret it when they face Guy Fieri's most terrifying games yet. First, Guy wheels out a vat of goo containing mysterious canned foods that the chefs must grab and use in a fried dish. Then Guy has them play a scary version of musical carts to determine their ingredients for a redemption dinner. When the Flavortown fright night finally ends, the chef left standing will go on to shop the market for up to $20,000.

Guy Fieri brings back three pairs of rival chefs who previously faced off one-on-one. First, two budget-brawlers settle the score in a round that has them shopping for ingredients under $5 for their family dinners. Next, a couple of food scientists face-off in a game that forces them to shop for their dishes in either the odd or even aisles. The final round brings back two Flavortown all-stars for an exact recreation of their first matchup. The winner of each round wins ultimate bragging rights and a guaranteed $5,000.

Rematch Mania

Guy Fieri challenges four fast food-loving chefs to recreate fast favorites like burgers, tacos and Chinese takeout. First, the chefs battle with their budgets to make their best burger and side. Then they race the clock to make an Asian takeout staple, and the final challenge is a Mexican takeout-style dinner. The chef who shows they know fast food better than the others will go on a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.

Fast Food Face-Off

Guy Fieri challenges four chefs to make a dozen ingredients last through breakfast, lunch and dinner. First, he makes them shop for the only 12 ingredients they can use throughout the competition, and they start off by making a high-end brunch. Then the chefs are challenged to make specific styles of lunch and dinner determined by Guy's wheel of meals. Despite the tough games and even tougher competition, only one chef will outlast the others and earn a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.

12 Ingredients All Day

Guy Fieri welcomes back the winners of previous GGG spicy competitions and pits them against each other. In the first two rounds, the three chefs make their spiciest and hometown heat dishes until only one is left standing. The remaining chef wins $10,000 and gets a chance at another $10,000 if they can beat Flavortown's resident Spicy Queen, Chef Antonia Lofaso.

Ultimate Spicy Games

Guy Fieri knows that food trucks have surged in popularity recently, so he's bringing in three teams of food truck chefs to battle it out for Flavortown superiority. First, a brand-new game has the teams splitting up to shop separate halves of the store for their bestselling dish. Then the chefs must shop for their best handheld duo using only their bare hands! Ultimately, one food truck duo will serve up enough delicious food to zoom past the others and earn a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.

Food Truck Teams

Guy Fieri invites four chefs to participate in Flavortown's first Cheat Day, challenging them to make dishes worth splurging on after a week of eating three square meals and exercising every day. The first two rounds have the chefs counting pounds and using specific ingredients in their deep-fried and mega-melty dishes. In the final round, Guy's newest and most dishonest game yet has the remaining chefs shoplifting ingredients for their ultimate Cheat Day dish. One chef will out-cheat the others and shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.

Cheat Day

Guy Fieri sends four talented chefs running through the aisles in a high stakes, high skills, grocery store cooking competition. The chefs are hit by real-world challenges like finding workarounds when all the essential ingredients are suddenly "out-of-stock" or having to create a masterpiece when you can only cook with "5 items or less" or on a $10 budget. In the end, the food does the talking, as the last chef standing has the chance to make some serious dough!
