Flavortown honors the family members who taught many people how to cook: grandmas! First, Guy Fieri has the grandmas cook their most requested family dish while sticking to the restrictions that a typical family member might complain about most. Then, the grandmas cook their celebratory dinners using two of the samples Guy has featured around the market. When all is said and done, one grandma will outdo the others to earn an automatic $15,000.
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!
