Super Spicy Games

Beat the Judges: Non-Stop Noodles

Guy Fieri welcomes three chefs whose noodle mastery helped them win GGG in the past to take on each other in a non-stop noodle event. First, the chefs make their signature noodle dish featuring an item from a surprise section of the store indicated by their chosen pool noodle. The winner earns an automatic $15,000 and gets a shot at turning their prize money into $20,000 if they can beat the GGG judge of their choice in an ultimate comfort noodle cook-off.

Four spice-obsessed chefs are bringing the heat in GGG's most outrageous spicy competition ever. First, the chefs make a hometown spicy dish that has the overheated judges begging for mercy. Then, Guy Fieri challenges the competitors to create an upscale spicy dinner featuring ingredients chosen from a pyramid of fire, and the judges decide to turn the tables. Ultimately, the best chef gets up to $20,000, and Guy gets the last laugh.

Guy Fieri divides six savory chefs up into teams of three as they work alone in 10-minute shifts to create a winning plate of food. The first shift chefs are given a grocery list featuring breakfast sandwich ingredients, but in a surprise twist, the chefs must use those ingredients to make dessert. At the 10-minute mark, the first shift chefs go into soundproof boxes, where they can communicate the dish's dessert secret non-verbally by holding up quick doodles. Ultimately, the team that creates the best dessert will go on a relay shopping spree worth up to $15,000!

Dessert Deception

Guy Fieri invites three chefs to play one of his most twisted games. The chefs have only one five-minute shop for the whole competition, during which they must grab only two ingredients per aisle to make a family friendly brunch. Then, they must make an upscale dinner using only the ingredients left over from their first shop! The chef who survives this diabolical challenge will get to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000!

Two Ingredients Per Aisle All Day

Four chefs who fell short of victory their first time around are back to cook a redemption dinner, but first, the dreaded Food Pyramid selects the whammy item, piece of equipment and the odd or even aisles the chefs must shop to succeed. Meanwhile, Guy Fieri goes behind the scenes to reveal Flavortown secrets, including the workings of this real deal grocery store inside a sound stage. Ultimately, one chef will win redemption and finally get the chance to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.

One Dish Redemption

For the first time ever, Guy Fieri invites three savory winners and three dessert winners to pair up for a battle between sweet and savory super teams. The randomly selected teams have just one hour to make a sweet and savory appetizer, an upscale dinner and dessert using only a single basket of groceries. Plus, the teams will have to pick an unlabeled can and use its mystery ingredient in their final dishes. The winning duo will earn up to $20,000.

Sweet & Savory Superstars

Guy Fieri invites all-star chefs Maneet Chauhan, Christian Petroni, Adam Sobel and Stephanie Izard for a pizza showdown that's hard to top! First, the elite pie makers must serve up a pizzeria combo plate using only the grocery items they can carry on a pizza paddle in one trip. Then, the chefs must stretch their cash more than their dough to prepare two budget battle pizzas, one savory and one sweet. The winning pizza maestro will shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.

All-Star Pizza

Guy Fieri invites eight of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' best chefs to compete to become the first-ever DDD Legends Champion. The chefs must conquer five culinary stops on Guy's virtual Flavortown 500 racecourse, starting with Guilty Pleasure Place. Using a hubcap as a shopping basket, the competitors who manage to prepare a judge-pleasing guilty pleasure will continue their race for the $30,000 grand prize. But the chefs who rank last must fight for survival in the elimination round, creating a second guilty pleasure that features the flavor on the back of their chosen license plate.

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Legends Tournament, Part 1

Seven of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' best chefs are still in the running to become the first DDD Legends Champion. The next stop on Guy Fieri's Flavortown 500 racecourse is Breakfast Boulevard, and the chefs who succeed in making a baller brunch, despite having to detour around the eggs, bacon and potato displays, get to continue their race for the $30,000 prize. The bottom two chefs must flip a list of iconic brunch ingredients into a weeknight dinner in the sudden-death elimination round.

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Legends Tournament, Part 2

Guy Fieri pairs the remaining six Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' chefs into teams to navigate Flavortown's Budget Bridge. Each cooking duo is given under $20 to create a classic food duo. The top two duos continue their race for the $30,000 grand prize, while the bottom duo faces off in a seafood dinner budget battle in the elimination round.

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Legends Tournament, Part 3

The five remaining Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' chefs take on the next stop in Guy Fieri's Flavortown 500 race, Takeout Turnpike. The three chefs who make the best burger and side, using only nine ingredients, continue on to the finale. In the elimination round, the bottom two chefs must shop fast and furious for ingredients to make takeout noodles before closing time to earn the last spot in the finale worth $30,000!

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Legends Tournament, Part 4

It's a race to the finish for the final four Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives' chefs vying to become the first-ever DDD Legends Champion. First, Guy Fieri asks the chefs to make an updated diner classic with fruit they grab at "roadside stands" throughout the market. Then, the three best chefs must prepare a dinner of champions using one ingredient from every aisle of the store. The winner receives the Grand Champion Trophy and the $30,000 grand prize!

Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives Legends Tournament, Part 5: Finale

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!
