Episodes
See Episode GuideFood Truck Families
Guy Fieri gives food truck families the ultimate road test by challenging them to shop, cook and present their dishes together as a team. First, they must make their truck's best seller while taking a tag-team shop, where each family member shops in 60-second sprints as part of a four-minute grocery relay race. Then, the remaining two teams make their personal food truck favorite while also incorporating a dish style and condiment determined by two spinning food truck wheels. The winning food truck family will roll out of Flavortown with up to $20,000.
Five-Dollar Price Check
Guy Fieri invites four talented chefs to Flavortown and tells them they can only shop for ingredients under $5! Guy reveals an additional challenge in each round, and it's a GGG budget battle like never before. One budget-savvy chef will overcome Guy's games to earn a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
Married with Kitchen
Most married couples consider their kids their babies, but these couples also consider their restaurants their babies. Guy Fieri puts their culinary skills -- and relationships -- to the test with a pair of challenges that they must work together to overcome. In round one, Guy sends one spouse shopping, leaving the other behind with a list of key date night dinner ingredients to relay to their partner over the phone. Then, the pair that makes a winning version of their restaurant's best dish with a limited number of ingredients goes on a Flavortown shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
Guy's Eggs-treme Games
Guy Fieri isn't a fan of eggs, but that may change when he brings four egg-ceptional chefs to Flavortown for a culinary competition all about eggs. There's three rounds of egg-sperts doing it all from an egg-citing breakfast to an egg-cellent lunch and an egg-stravagant dinner. Along the way, the competitors must carry their ingredients in a tiny egg basket and win exotic eggs in a classic egg-on-a-spoon race. A surprise finish leads to eggs-tra innings in a Flavortown first where one egg-squisite chef beats the rest to earn a $20,000 shopping spree -- and that's no yolk!
All ABC Games
Guy Fieri's ABC games aren't as easy as 1, 2, 3! The chefs have to prove their skills in three rounds as they make comfort classics and dinners with seafood and fried ingredients. Only one chef will come out on top and win a chance at a $20,000 shopping spree.
Southern Chef Showdown
Guy Fieri shares his love for Southern cuisine in a three-round Southern chef showdown in Flavortown. A never-before-seen game has the chefs shopping only the southern half of the store for their signature sandwiches, and weight is a factor as the chefs prepare seafood dishes with only 6 pounds of ingredients. In the end, one super Southern chef will prove their food is the best and shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
Winners' Whammy Auction
Guy Fieri welcomes four previous winners back to Flavortown Market for a non-stop super battle. He gives them each $100 to make a complete steakhouse feast in 60 minutes, but first, they have to participate in a Flavortown whammy auction. Chefs must spend a minimum of $40 on a whammy ingredient they don't really want to avoid getting stuck with a worse item. Whatever they end up with must be used in both their appetizer and entrée. The chef who serves up the best feast will get to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.
Culinary Call-Outs
Chefs who believe they should have won their GGG episode call out their market rivals for a single round, $10,000 showdown they hope will settle the score. First up, a Los Angeles "Seoul food" chef challenges the Vancouver opponent who beat her by one point to a guilty pleasure rematch. Before she can tip the scales of justice in her favor, both chefs must use the produce scales to weigh in no more than 8 pounds of ingredients. Then, five-time GGG winner Tracey Shepos Cenami calls out GGG judge Eric Greenspan, who defeated her in a cheesy battle. Justice isn't the only one that's blind as the blindfolded rivals grab clearance cart items to feature in their cheesy winner's dinner.
Beat the Judges: Frozen Food Feast
Guy Fieri invites three experienced chefs to prove they're the "King of the Chill" by outcooking each other -- and ultimately a GGG judge -- in a frozen food fight. First, the chefs make their best seafood dinner using nothing but items from the frozen aisle. The winner earns an automatic $15,000, while their two rivals are frozen out of the competition. The winning chef then gets a shot at turning their prize money into $20,000 if they can beat the GGG judge of their choice in a Sunday supper showdown featuring more frozen food, plus three fresh items that satisfy a cool grocery list.
Meatless Masters
Guy Fieri welcomes back former GGG winners who used their masterful meatless dishes to show all the carnivores how it's done. First, they must make an over-the-top guilty pleasure without any carts. Then, the chefs shop for one ingredient per aisle to make a delicious 10-item winner's dinner. The winning meatless master will shop the market for up to $20,000!
DDD Budget Battle
Guy Fieri invites four chefs he's visited on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives to prove their budgeting skills. First, the chefs play a game to determine the budget allowed to make their restaurant's best selling dish. Then, the remaining three competitors make their personal seafood favorites while working with a $25 budget and a limited grocery list. The winning DDD chef will shop Flavortown Market with a budget of up to $20,000.
DDD All Day
Guy Fieri invites chefs from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives to compete in Flavortown Market for the very first time and give the judges a taste of their all-day menus. They attempt to make a big first impression with their best-selling brunch using only ingredients they can fit in a very small shopping bag. Then, they must serve an updated diner dinner featuring some very retro diner ingredients, including strawberry ice cream! Ultimately, the winning DDD chef will head into the sunset with up to $20,000.

City Food Fight: Los Angeles vs. San Francisco
Guy Fieri invites two powerhouse culinary duos from Los Angeles and San Francisco to prepare three-course feasts designed to prove which city's food is best. First up, the teams must make a 15-minute cold appetizer and 30-minute hot appetizer featuring iconic food items from both cities. Then, in a game inspired by each city's legendary sports teams, the chefs must score footballs to decide how many ingredients they can include in their regional entrees. The city team with the highest combined score wins $15,000 and Golden State bragging rights.
GGG New Stars
Four chefs who proved their rising star status in the Tournament of Champions arena are now Guy Fieri's newest first timers, so they have to make a winner's dinner while playing one of GGG's oldest and coldest games -- frozen food can-can. Then, the new stars play another OG game -- menu magnet madness -- and prepare the dish they each had a part in picking. A new winning star is born and celebrates by grabbing a big cash prize.
Hunter's Whammy Cart
Guy Fieri's son Hunter has run out of time to restock the store, so he puts six returned items in each chef's cart. The chefs must use all six items over the course of both rounds, starting with a hometown favorite dish. In round two, the competitors make a grilled feast using their remaining mandatory items and ingredients from only the odd or even aisles. Finally, the winner gets to shop the entire store for up to $20,000.
Bad to the Bacon
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!
Baseball Stadium Food Fight
The bases are loaded and so is the food as executive chefs in charge four big-league ballparks try to hit a culinary home run. In the first inning, Guy Fieri spins the food wheels to determine what two stadium classics the chefs must mash up. In the final inning, the chefs make a box seat baller dish worthy of ballpark VIPs using only ingredients that fit in a baseball helmet, plus a "must have" peanut product from Hunter the food vendor. The winning stadium chef earns a grand slam prize worth up to $20,000.

All-Star Burgers
The only thing better than a burger is a burger made by one of Flavortown's all-star chefs! Guy Fieri brings together four chefs to test their burger-making prowess in a patty-for-patty throwdown that includes an over-the-top burger and fries combo and a spicy burger. One all-star chef stands apart and gets a shot at up to $20,000.

Ultimate City Food Fight
The winners of the first two City Food Fights return to prove once and for all which is the best food city in the country. Playing games inspired by their city's legendary basketball teams, Guy Fieri challenges the teams to prepare three winning courses. First, the chefs have 24 minutes to make one of their city's signature sandwiches, but they'll be dribbling a basketball while shopping. Then in the second half, the chefs must make a winner's dinner and dessert that feature the whammy ingredients chosen by the hoops. The team with the highest combined score wins an additional $15,000 and the GGG City Food Fight champion trophy!
City Food Fight: Chicago vs. NYC
Guy Fieri brings in two pairs of hot shot chefs from Chicago and New York who have one non-stop hour to prepare a regional feast that proves their city's food is truly world-class. In honor of "The Big Apple" and Chicago's "The Bean" sculpture, each team must select a unique 2-for-1 apple and bean food duo to feature in their appetizer and entrée. The teams are told mid-cook that they must also prepare a regional dessert featuring a canned item they knock down with a pitch worthy of their legendary baseball teams. The team with the highest combined score wins $15,000 and big city bragging rights.
