Episodes
See Episode GuideRelay: Ultimate Face-Off
Guy Fieri sets up the ultimate face-off with a relay race between two chef teams. The chefs work as a tag team, with each teammate working one at a time in 10-minute shifts. Only the first chef on each team is told they're making a spicy champion's dinner that must include four ingredients on Guy's grocery list. Working blind, the chefs in the later shifts must cook and present dishes based on their best guess of what the teammate before them was making. The team that successfully creates the most accurate version of the requested dish will go on a tag team shopping spree for up to $15,000!
April Fools' Rules
For GGG's 3rd annual April Fools' special in honor of legendary chef and prankster Carl "The Cuban" Ruiz, Guy Fieri has invited a bunch of Carl's all-star friends to Flavortown Market for a night of epic food and twisted pranks. The four chefs get one hour to prepare a spicy appetizer and an even spicier entree that will make judges sweat their pants off! Guy gives the chefs a generous budget to make their meals but then forces them to bid for the privilege to shop their favorite aisle. The chef who survives Guy's pranks and cooks the best food gets the last laugh -- their name engraved on the April Fools' winner plaque and the chance to win up to $20,000! Plus, someone is getting dunked -- literally -- in the most outrageous April Fools' twist ever.

April Fools' Day
No one loved a good laugh more than GGG judge Carl "The Cuban" Ruiz. In honor of Carl's love for hijinks, Guy Fieri has invited six of his closest Flavortown judges to join him for April Fools' Day pranks as they remember The Cuban's funniest GGG moments. They make spicy dishes that drove Carl nuts while shoplifting all their ingredients wearing baseball caps and glasses! Then, they have to flip a Cuban sandwich into a celebration dinner while shopping blindfolded. Surprise guests show up to guide them, and the winners earn money for a new culinary foundation in Chef Carl's honor. We miss you, Carl. Pinkies out.
Fast Food Face-Off
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.
April Fools' Games
Guy Fieri pulls the biggest prank in GGG history when he fools three judges into competing in a knee-slapping, action-packed, two-game contest. To challenge the chefs, Guy brings out his most devious game yet -- the Guy Face Wheel. Then he throws down a challenge that leaves the judges terrified. In the end, only one judge-turned-surprise-competitor will win Guy's April Fools' Games and take home the winnings.
Last Judge Standing Tournament Part 1
Eight Triple G judges step out from behind the judging table to compete in a five-part tournament where the Last Judge Standing will win $40,000 for charity. First, Guy Fieri spins a wheel featuring all the judges' smiling faces to determine whose least favorite ingredients will wind up in their steak house dinner. The two judges that land at the bottom fight for survival in the Redemption Round where they make a meal determined by refrigerator magnets. Whoever wins gets to rejoin their fellow judges in part two.
Last Judge Standing Tournament Part 2
Seven Triple G judges return to Flavortown to continue the tournament that will earn the Last Judge Standing $40,000 for charity. First, they must combine numbers and letters while making their best pasta dish by using only up to eight ingredients ... that all start with the letter S! The bottom three chefs will then play a game of Wild Cards where one set of cards determine the comfort dish they must make and the other decides the style of international cuisine they must use. Only the top two card sharks will rejoin their fellow chefs in part three.
Last Judge Standing Tournament Part 3
The six remaining Flavortown judges form teams of two to prepare a regional seafood dish on limited funds in a Budget Battle with an unprecedented twist. The bottom two teams break up in an every-chef-for-themselves cook-off in the Redemption Round. Guy Fieri then declares 'Dinner Rush!' and the four judges have only 20 minutes to make an elevated guilty pleasure that will determine who will move on to the tournament semi-finals.
Last Judge Standing Tournament Part 4
It's the semi-finals of the Last Judge Standing Tournament, and the remaining five Triple G judges find themselves in an ooey gooey situation as they prepare their best cheese dish while playing three of Flavortown's hardest games. The winner heads directly to the finale, and the remaining judges must make a refined dinner featuring the international ingredients they were unable to bowl down in Guy Fieri's impromptu alley. In the end, only four chefs will move on to the final round.
Last Judge Standing Tournament Finale: Judgment Day
Judgment Day is here and the question of biblical proportions is: which Flavortown judge will be crowned the tournament champ? The final four begin with a chicken dinner featuring a grocery list of the panelists' least favorite ingredients. Things lighten up a bit when the judges face a twisted version of Guy Fieri's Food Pyramid that determines their ingredients' weight limits, the dish they'll serve and the weird item they must feature in it. The final two judges must make a Judgment Day dinner using an unusual list of seven ingredients ... and nothing else! The Last Judge Standing will win $40,000 for charity!
Relay: Ultimate Face-Off
Guy Fieri sets up the ultimate face-off with a relay race between two chef teams. The chefs work as a tag team, with each teammate working one at a time in 10-minute shifts. Only the first chef on each team is told they're making a spicy champion's dinner that must include four ingredients on Guy's grocery list. Working blind, the chefs in the later shifts must cook and present dishes based on their best guess of what the teammate before them was making. The team that successfully creates the most accurate version of the requested dish will go on a tag team shopping spree for up to $15,000!
No-Shop Showdown
For the first time in GGG history, none of the competing chefs get to shop for their ingredients. Instead, Guy Fieri gives them each a cart full of groceries that has to last all three rounds, and he decides what they make in each round with a spin of his dish wheel. The chefs are challenged to make do with what they have, hoping they have what it takes to shop Flavortown for up to $20,000.
Guy's Italian Games
Three chefs put their Italian cooking skills to the test in Guy Fieri's Italian-themed games. First, the chefs must make a pasta dish using eight ingredients or less. Then they're challenged to make a pizza and a side dish using items found on Flavortown's sample tables. The winner of the second round gets an automatic $10,000 and a shot at another $10,000 if they can beat one of GGG's legendary Italian chef-judges in a shocking final battle.
Wine Country Chefs
Three top chefs from Northern California's world-famous wine country compete to show off their superior vintage. Guy Fieri welcomes them to the market with a gift basket full of local artisanal goods that they must feature in their signature dish. Then, the chefs play Spin the Wine Bottle to determine the not-so-romantic budget they'll have to make a romantic dinner. The winning chef will get to shop wine country's favorite market for up to $20,000!
Home Cooks!
For anyone who has ever said, "Hey, I can do that!," Guy Fieri brings four confident home cooks to Flavortown to prove they can actually cook like GGG's finest chefs. He tests their shopping, cooking and presentation skills in three classic GGG games, and in the end, only one home cook beats the others to bring home the bacon with a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
Food 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.
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.
Red Light Special Extravaganza
Guy Fieri has plenty of deals to welcome four chefs to Flavortown Market, with red light specials in all 10 aisles. First, the chefs must create a fried feast, but in any aisle they shop, they must also use the red light special as a mandatory ingredient. Then, the remaining three chefs make a pork dish, and to make things even more difficult, Guy limits them to 11 ingredients or fewer. It's a game of strategy, where the winning chef gets to shop the store for up to $20,000!
10 Pounds, Two Rounds
Guy Fieri challenges four chefs to take on a Flavortown first, where they'll have to shop for and prepare two complete meals for four using no more than 10 lbs. of total ingredients! After the chefs use more than half their weighted groceries to make a hearty hot lunch, Guy lets them each grab an extra two items from the store's clearance rack to make their weeknight dinner. The winning chef gets a shot at turning 10 lbs. of food into up to $20,000.
Sweet Deception All-Stars
Guy Fieri welcomes three all-star friends to what they think is a savory showdown, but he surprises them by deciding to go all dessert. In round one, the competitors must flip savory diner classics into sweet treats. Then in round two, the chefs make a fried dessert using mystery ingredients they select in a game of Crazy Can Roulette. The winning chef will shop Flavortown Market for up to $20,000!
