Dinner for Dollars

Bad to the Bacon

Guy Fieri kicks off GGG's biggest and wildest team tournament, where two trios of all-star chefs face off in a tag-team competition. First up, it's Tournament of Champions Winners vs. Culinary Giant Slayers! The teammates work alone in 10-minute shifts to create a sweet and savory duo that must include items on Guy's grocery list, but only the first chefs in the kitchen know the dish, and they head straight into a soundproof "ice box" after their shift. The team that successfully picks up on the culinary clues their teammates leave behind and makes the winning dish will move one step closer to the $60,000 championship.

All-Star Relay Rumble: Part 1

In the second heat of Guy Fieri's wild team tournament, the Culinary Award Winners take on the Competition All-Stars. Each team must make a vegetarian version of a classic food duo, but since only the first chefs in this tag-team competition know what they're making, their teammate must study the culinary clues left behind to figure out the dish! The addition of a red light special from the clearance shelves only adds to the confusion. The team with the winning dish will move one step closer to the $60,000 championship.

All-Star Relay Rumble: Part 2

In the third and final qualifying heat of Guy Fieri's tag-team tournament, the GGG Judges take on Team Next Gen. The first chef on each team searches the market for a shopping cart containing a combination of mandatory global ingredients and a specific food adjective they think they can turn into a winner winner chicken dinner. Their teammate must then incorporate a second global ingredient, while the third chef must bring it all together. The winning team will move one step closer to the $60,000 championship.

All-Star Relay Rumble: Part 3

While the team that won their initial heat gets an automatic free pass to the tournament finale, the winners of the other two heats must face off in a semifinal event to determine who will move on. The teams create a party platter featuring something raw, something fried and something cheesy. The first chefs in the relay can't shop for more than eight pounds of ingredients, and the second chefs get to grab an additional item, only to be told they must swap! Then, the third chef plates and presents the finished platters in hopes of moving on to the big $60,000 finale!

All-Star Relay Rumble: Part 4

It's the finale of Guy Fieri's wild tournament as the two highest-scoring all-star teams face off in the ultimate relay rumble.

The final chefs do their best to complete the dishes their teammates started and present them to the judges. The winning team receives the Relay Rumble Championship trophies and the $60,000 grand prize!

All-Star Relay Rumble: Finale

Four of the food world's finest and fastest chefs compete in Guy Fieri's quickest game, Grocery Rush.

All-Star Grocery Rush-a-Thon

Guy Fieri challenges three experienced chefs who know how to make each ingredient count to prepare their best pork dish using only 10 items. The winner earns an automatic $15,000, while the other chefs are eliminated. The winning chef can then wager up to $5,000 of their earnings in a second express lane battle against the all-star judge of their choice. Chef and Judge must make their seafood favorite using only nine items from either the odd or even aisles -- all depending on the flip of a coin.

Beat the Judges: Express Lane

Guy Fieri invites four chefs with a passion for pork to smoke the competition with sizzling bacon dishes. First, they must prepare their signature bacon dish using only the ingredients they can buy with the meager funds in their piggy banks. The chefs then prove they can do "swine dining" by preparing a high-end bacon dish that features the fruit they won in a game of Piggleball. The winning chef brings home the bacon -- up to $20,000!

Flavortown Market is overflowing with clearance items and whammy ingredients, so Guy Fieri declares that the competing chefs will bank $2,500 in prize money for each whammy item they use. The chefs serve their signature dish with up to four whammy items before making a meat and potatoes meal using only the ingredients they can carry. In the end, the chefs must decide whether cooking with the full $20,000 worth of weird food whammies will ruin their dishes when only the winning chef will get to keep the cash

Guy Fieri invites some of the newest chefs from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives to compete in Flavortown Market, where they make their best seller, but only after a coin flip determines whether they can shop the odd or even aisles. Then, the chefs roll the GGG dice to see what mandatory food adjective, whammy ingredient and kitchen equipment they must use in preparing an elevated comfort classic. The winning DDD chef heads on out to the market aisles to earn up to $20,000!

DDD-elicious

The winning stadium chef earns a grand slam prize worth up to $20,000

Baseball Stadium Food Fight

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!
