Episodes
See Episode GuideAll-Star Invitational, Part 2
It's week two of GGG’s greatest tournament, and the six remaining all-star chefs must take on Guy Fieri's most twisted budget games. The chefs form teams of two to make an impressive weeknight dinner for four on a $25 budget. To make things worse, Guy makes each teammate shop a separate half of the store. The team that wins best dish splits the $10,000 prize, but the bottom team members must compete head-to-head in the checkout round. The chef who makes the best $20 seafood dinner using only frozen ingredients moves on, while their former teammate is eliminated.
All-Star Invitational, Part 3
In week three of the all-star invitational tournament, Guy Fieri challenges the remaining chefs with wildly unpredictable games of chance. After a food wheel determines the type of dish they must make, the chefs race off in search of their grocery carts, each of which features a mandatory ingredient designed to make their challenge even tougher. The all-star with the best dish wins $10,000, while the bottom two chefs fight for their survival in the checkout round. The chef who makes the best steakhouse dinner -- despite the restrictions dictated by the dreaded food pyramid -- will stay in the tournament.
All-Star Invitational, Part 4
In week four of this intense invitational, the remaining all-stars must conquer Guy Fieri's twisted list games. First, they must make a comfort classic featuring the mishmash of items on Guy's grocery list. The chef who cooks the best dish wins $10,000 and a guaranteed spot in the finale, but the other three chefs must battle for survival by making their best burger and fries. Unfortunately, Guy hands them a list of traditional burger and fry ingredients that are off limits. The chef who makes the least successful burger plate is eliminated.
All-Star Invitational Finale
The three finalists must conquer Guy Fieri's most extreme aisle games, starting with aisle auction. The chefs outbid each other for exclusive shopping rights to three of the most essential store aisles before they can make their spicy guilty pleasure. The chef with the least successful dish will be eliminated, and the final two all-stars go head-to-head to see who can make the best 10-item winner's dinner after shopping for one ingredient per aisle. The victorious chef wins the tournament trophy, a generous gift in their name for No Kid Hungry and shop Flavortown Market for up to $35,000

Flavortown Academy: Antonia vs. Jet, Part 1
It's enrollment week at Flavortown Academy! Guy Fieri invites seven home cooks from across the country to an intensive five-week cooking competition for a chance to win $35,000. Luckily, they'll be taught by all-star culinary "professors" Jet Tila and Antonia Lofaso. The teachers need to pick their class, so the home cooks make their signature dish to prove they have the necessary chops to qualify as worthy students. The two cooks with the least successful dish battle for a chance to stay enrolled.
Flavortown Academy: Antonia vs. Jet, Part 2
It's freshman week at Guy Fieri's Flavortown Academy, and culinary "professors" Jet Tila and Antonia Lofaso have each chosen to mentor three home cooks in hopes that one of their students will ultimately win the $35,000 graduation prize. This week's course is "How to Budget," and the teams must prove they can cook a party platter on a budget. The winning class gets a free pass to the sophomore class, while the three students in the losing class must compete against each other to stay in the tournament.
Flavortown Academy: Antonia vs. Jet, Part 3
Guy Fieri introduces the top 5 students to their sophomore course, which is all about elevating food. Under the guidance of "professors" Jet Tila and Antonia Lofaso, the students must make an elevated version of a classic weeknight dinner using nine ingredients or fewer. The two students with the least successful dishes are forced to go head-to-head a Pass/Fail Round.
Flavortown Academy: Antonia vs. Jet, Part 4
Guy Fieri sends the top 4 students to Flavortown Academy's junior course devoted to world cuisines. The students choose carts containing two ingredients from a unique international cuisine to make a comfort classic. The two students who score at the bottom face off in the Pass/Fail Round. The winning student moves on to finals week for a shot at winning the $35,000 Graduation Prize.
Flavortown Academy: Antonia vs. Jet Finals
The top 3 students at Guy Fieri's Flavortown Academy have made it to the senior finals, where all the culinary lessons "professors" Jet Tila and Antonia Lofaso have taught them will be tested. They'll make an upscale entrée using ingredients determined by a roll of the dice. The two most successful students will move on to the final culinary exam, where they will serve up an impressive graduation dinner. The last student standing will receive the Supermarket Cum Laude diploma and the $35,000 Graduation Prize.
Guy's Guys
Four chefs from four of Guy Fieri's own restaurants face off in two rounds of culinary combat. Guy kicks things off by challenging his guys to make their best burger without any key ingredients. Then he gives them the freedom to make their own chef's creation, but he forces them to shop for their ingredients using teeny-tiny little bags. When the dust settles, one chef will be deemed Guy's Best Guy and shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
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.
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.
One-Time Aisle Games
In Flavortown, competing chefs usually have free reign of the entire market, but Guy Fieri's changing the rules and allowing the competitors to shop each aisle only once. To make it even tougher, he's throwing them an additional game in every round. When the time runs out, one chef will be standing above the rest and get to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.
Ultimate Grocery List
A ridiculous grocery list can be quite the challenge, so Guy Fieri gives four chefs a list of seven not-so-friendly ingredients that they must use over the course of the competition. Ultimately, one chef will go on to shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.
Guy's Trivia Games
Guy Fieri goes wild combining his brand of food trivia with his favorite culinary games. The four competitors are out to prove that they're great chefs who also know a lot about food. First, they're hit with a barrage of international food questions they must answer correctly to earn enough cash to shop for their upscale dinner. Then, Guy allows the chefs to remove not-so-desirable ingredients from their baskets by correctly answering another series of culinary trivia questions. Ultimately, the chef who succeeds in combining their cooking chops and food smarts will get to put up to $20,000 in their cart.
Battle of the Bacon
Guy Fieri's favorite food group is bacon, so he invites four swine-dining chefs to go hog-wild for a shot at $20,000. Over two rounds and a plethora of pork plates, these competitors will have to show up and show snout if they want to win the all-bacon battle.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Guy Fieri invites four chicken-fanatic chefs from his show Guy's Chance of a Lifetime to put their poultry skills to the test in two rounds of chicken dishes at Flavortown Market. First, the chefs are asked to make a fried chicken starter and shake using only ingredients from half of the store. Then, Guy and his son Hunter put a twist on an egg roll as the chefs toss an egg to determine the unusual ingredients they must use in their chicken dinner. Finally, the top chef gets a shot at winning up to $20,000 -- and that ain't chicken scratch!
One-Stop Speed Shop
Guy Fieri invites four chefs to break the world shopping speed record as they grab everything they'll need to make two complete meals in a single four-minute shop. To make things even more twisted, the chefs must grab a "must-use" red light special ingredient mid-shop. After the chefs cook a weeknight favorite, Guy insists they make an upscale dinner with what they have left, plus one more item from a designated aisle chosen at random. The winning chef will have an opportunity to speed shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000.
All Budget Wheel Games
Before each game, Guy Fieri spins a budget wheel that determines how much the chefs get when purchasing groceries for a specific dish. Then he spins a second wheel that further restricts their options, from a crazy ingredient they must use to a color of food they must feature or the number of store aisles they can shop. The chef who best stretches their money and culinary skills gets to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
All-Star Budget
No one knows how to balance a budget like a superstar chef, and Guy Fieri puts that to the test when he invites four Flavortown all-stars to duke it out in a budget battle. These culinary celebrities get hit with budget after budget, in battle after battle, testing their skill of making a dollar stretch all competition long. When the registers close, only one chef will be left standing and earn up to $20,000 in cold, hard cash.
