Everyone goes grocery shopping with a list, so Guy Fieri has three list-themed games prepared for the chefs in Flavortown. First, he gives them a list of ingredients that they must use in their childhood favorite dish, followed by a list of ingredients they can't use when making their best spaghetti and meatballs. Then, in a shocking third round, the chefs have to turn a list of dessert ingredients into a winning dish to earn a chance at raking in $20,000.
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!
