Known as the steadfast host of “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,”
“Tournament of Champions,”
“Guy’s All-American Road Trip,”
“Guy’s Ranch Kitchen” and plenty more, the world-renowned Guy Fieri returns as host for a brand-new episode of his budget-conscious competition series, “Guy’s Grocery Games,” airing Wednesday, April 23, on Food Network.
In this fast-paced competition series, Fieri asks four talented chefs to raid a grocery store for any and all ingredients used in the show’s three weekly challenges.
Outside of their usual (professional) environment, these chefs must face real-world challenges, such as out-of-stock inventory, picking five items or less, using only frozen foods or heading to the check-out with a tight $10 budget.
Round by round, guest judges — such as Troy Johnson (“Campus Eats”), Aarti Sequeira (“Food Network Star”), Damaris Phillips (“Southern at Heart”), Catherine McCord (“Home & Family”), Richard Blais (“Next Level Chef”) and more — decide who stays and who’s eliminated during the first three rounds, while the final chef is then given a bonus timed challenge — with two minutes to spare, the chef must collect every item given on a shopping list, with each item gained earning them $2,000. If the chef completes their list in time, they’ll earn themselves a whopping $20,000 to further invest in their careers.
So far, this 38th season of the steadfast series has seen everything from past “Tournament of Champions” winners, “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” chefs and past “Guy’s Grocery Games” winners, to powerhouse culinary duos fighting for their home cities in episodes that pit the culinary staples of Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Chicago against each other.
In this week’s upcoming episode, Fieri invites three more of the best all-star chefs he knows to take part in a fruit-filled extravaganza.
With berries, melons and citrus taking center stage in each and every challenge, the chefs take part in an auction that determines who gains exclusive rights to which fruit.
Silly, quick-witted and delicious, “Guy’s Grocery Games” premieres a brand-new episode Wednesday, April 23, on Food Network.
