1
00:00:01,502 --> 00:00:02,909
Hunter, tonight
we're dialing up the crazy
just to 13.
2
00:00:02,911 --> 00:00:04,461
We've invited
four Triple G superfans
3
00:00:04,463 --> 00:00:06,230
who think they've
really seen it all.
4
00:00:06,232 --> 00:00:08,924
I've been watching
Grocery Games
since they first came out.
5
00:00:08,926 --> 00:00:11,176
I've literally,
probably watched,
like, every episode.
6
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,919
Well, think again!
7
00:00:12,921 --> 00:00:14,555
[Guy] We're kicking
the high jinx
into high gear
8
00:00:14,631 --> 00:00:17,141
and hitting them
with non-stop games.
9
00:00:17,143 --> 00:00:18,517
You wanna do it yourself,
let's go. Come on.
10
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:20,394
Frozen "F's", come on. Whoo!
11
00:00:20,396 --> 00:00:21,937
[Guy] Gummy frogs.
12
00:00:21,939 --> 00:00:23,897
Oh, jeepers.
13
00:00:23,899 --> 00:00:26,859
[Guy] Get ready for
a funhouse of flavor...
14
00:00:26,861 --> 00:00:29,028
[Hunter] It's the
Supermarket Of Mischief.
15
00:00:29,104 --> 00:00:30,904
...right now,
on Guy's Grocery Games.
16
00:00:30,981 --> 00:00:32,531
-"The Supermarket
Of Mischief"!
-I know!
17
00:00:32,533 --> 00:00:33,940
-Who came up with that?
-I can't even spell that.
18
00:00:37,288 --> 00:00:40,414
All right, let's meet
our Triple G superfans.
19
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:42,432
Now, first up,
we have Raymond Pereira,
20
00:00:42,434 --> 00:00:44,752
the chef de cuisine
of an artisan taco truck
in San Diego,
21
00:00:44,754 --> 00:00:49,590
who grew up watching
Food Network and loves
the Triple G Budget Games.
22
00:00:49,592 --> 00:00:53,218
[Ray] I work in a food truck
We do artisan-style tacos,
23
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:55,179
and my whole life
is, like, Triple G.
24
00:00:55,181 --> 00:00:59,475
I'm on a budget,
I have all these
limitations in space,
25
00:00:59,477 --> 00:01:01,268
and I'm trying to
push myself creatively.
26
00:01:01,270 --> 00:01:02,770
It's like a dream,
finally being here.
27
00:01:02,772 --> 00:01:04,229
-[Guy] Looking good!
-What's up?
28
00:01:05,357 --> 00:01:07,566
Next, we have Rick Araujo,
executive chef,
29
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:11,028
who's excited to take on
the extreme limitations
of Grocery Games.
30
00:01:11,030 --> 00:01:13,739
[Rick] So, I'm not just
a fan of the show,
I'm a superfan.
31
00:01:13,741 --> 00:01:17,201
I've got a strong
culinary background,
I'm classically trained.
32
00:01:17,203 --> 00:01:19,203
I love a challenge,
and this is the biggest
challenge I could find.
33
00:01:19,205 --> 00:01:21,622
-Big Rick,
coming through there, buddy.
-What's up, Guy?
34
00:01:21,698 --> 00:01:22,697
-I need an eyebrow check.
-[Rick chuckles]
35
00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:26,734
And then there's
Dianna Palmer,
36
00:01:26,736 --> 00:01:30,089
chef-owner of
Loaded Baked Potato Concept
in Atlanta, Georgia,
37
00:01:30,091 --> 00:01:32,341
who knows the ABCs of cooking.
38
00:01:34,053 --> 00:01:35,594
[Dianna] I really love
the ABC Games.
39
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:37,638
It's, like,
the hardest game out there.
40
00:01:37,714 --> 00:01:40,390
You have to have your A game.
[giggling]
41
00:01:40,392 --> 00:01:44,186
I enjoy making all types
of comfort food.
42
00:01:44,188 --> 00:01:46,480
Being here is so surreal.
43
00:01:46,515 --> 00:01:50,484
Pinching myself, like,
am I actually here?
44
00:01:50,486 --> 00:01:53,112
And finally,
Alex Robinson,
the Scottsdale executive chef
45
00:01:53,114 --> 00:01:56,031
who has watched every episode
of Triple G!
46
00:01:56,033 --> 00:01:58,784
I've literally,
probably watched, like,
every episode.
47
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:00,577
Some of these ingredients
that they come up with
48
00:02:00,579 --> 00:02:02,788
blows your mind
as, like, a chef.
49
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,958
A majority of my career
over a 23-year span
50
00:02:06,034 --> 00:02:08,836
has been all five-star,
five-diamond resorts
and hotels.
51
00:02:08,912 --> 00:02:11,255
I'm definitely gonna
have to be on my toes,
52
00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:13,841
and then really just
bring in the winner, winner,
chicken dinner.
53
00:02:13,917 --> 00:02:15,134
[Guy] Every episode?
54
00:02:15,136 --> 00:02:16,385
-[Alex] Every episode.
-Like that guy!
55
00:02:16,387 --> 00:02:18,387
Welcome, chefs!
56
00:02:18,389 --> 00:02:21,390
This is the place
where all the magic happens.
57
00:02:21,392 --> 00:02:23,851
In honor of you superfans,
58
00:02:23,927 --> 00:02:27,271
we have created two games
that are offering
more twists and turns
59
00:02:27,273 --> 00:02:29,439
than a shopping cart
with a bad wheel.
[vocalizes rim shot]
60
00:02:29,441 --> 00:02:31,608
I'll be here all week,
try the veal.
61
00:02:31,652 --> 00:02:34,945
The chef with the lowest score
at the end of round one
62
00:02:34,989 --> 00:02:37,364
will be leaving
this magical market kingdom.
63
00:02:37,366 --> 00:02:40,617
But the chef with
the highest combined score
at the end of two rounds
64
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:43,829
will get an opportunity
to shop Flavortown Market
for up to...
65
00:02:43,831 --> 00:02:45,146
-[Ray] Twenty grand.
-[Dianna] $20,000.
66
00:02:45,148 --> 00:02:47,749
Twenty grand, exactly!
I know you watch the show.
67
00:02:47,751 --> 00:02:52,004
So now it's time to show off
your culinary superpower.
68
00:02:52,006 --> 00:02:54,256
I want you to make the judges,
this is a tough one...
69
00:02:56,135 --> 00:03:01,305
a deep-fried,
vegan ice cream chimichanga.
70
00:03:02,808 --> 00:03:05,934
-[giggling]
-Oh, you don't think
that's what we're making?
71
00:03:05,936 --> 00:03:08,437
-Yeah, we're making that.
-[Guy] Don't test me!
72
00:03:08,439 --> 00:03:09,688
I'm gonna make it easy on you
73
00:03:09,765 --> 00:03:11,356
'cause I like you,
and you're fans of the show.
74
00:03:11,358 --> 00:03:15,068
I want you to
make the judges
a signature dish.
75
00:03:15,145 --> 00:03:20,240
A plate of deliciousness
that puts you
on the culinary map.
76
00:03:21,202 --> 00:03:23,160
Now, let's see,
I gave you the dish,
77
00:03:23,162 --> 00:03:24,786
we talked about
winning the money,
78
00:03:24,788 --> 00:03:26,246
make the signature dish.
What are we missing?
79
00:03:27,583 --> 00:03:30,417
Games! That's right!
We're missing games!
80
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:33,170
Hey, hang on a sec.
[shrill whistle] Hunter!
81
00:03:33,172 --> 00:03:35,672
-Hunter will bring some games.
-[Ray] Uh-oh, all right.
82
00:03:35,674 --> 00:03:37,090
-Hey, chefs!
-[contestants greet Hunter]
83
00:03:37,125 --> 00:03:38,550
[Guy] Here he goes.
You got a good game for us?
84
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:40,219
I do, it's an awesome game,
actually, look at this.
85
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:43,513
-You did not do that?
-Aren't you impressed?
86
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:45,390
-Hoo-hoo!
-See!
87
00:03:45,392 --> 00:03:51,438
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's a grocery list
of diabolical new games
88
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,565
worthy only for superfans.
89
00:03:53,642 --> 00:03:56,276
-So you have Salad Sample.
-Ooh.
90
00:03:56,278 --> 00:03:58,403
That's where our
salad bar sommelier,
91
00:03:58,405 --> 00:03:59,529
-this is Hunter...
-Yes.
92
00:03:59,531 --> 00:04:01,657
You will sample
one of his choices
93
00:04:01,659 --> 00:04:03,533
that will be
a must-used ingredient
in your dish.
94
00:04:03,535 --> 00:04:07,079
Then we have the
Les Wheel Of Cheese!
95
00:04:07,081 --> 00:04:11,583
Yes, where you will spin
a cheese wheel to determine
the extreme cheese choice
96
00:04:11,585 --> 00:04:13,919
you must feature
in your signature dish.
97
00:04:13,954 --> 00:04:18,257
A Frozen Food Feud
ABC, where you can grab
98
00:04:18,259 --> 00:04:21,927
anything from
the frozen food section that
starts with the letter...
99
00:04:23,389 --> 00:04:24,754
"F."
100
00:04:25,683 --> 00:04:27,724
You have 30 minutes
to shop, prepare, plate
101
00:04:27,726 --> 00:04:30,769
and play the games
for your signature dish.
102
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,021
I will be honest with you,
out of the three,
103
00:04:33,098 --> 00:04:36,650
these two on the bottom
are the worst.
The one on the top...
104
00:04:36,652 --> 00:04:38,986
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-We didn't says go yet!
105
00:04:38,988 --> 00:04:40,570
-We didn't say go yet.
-[Ray] Oh, I thought
it was three-two-one.
106
00:04:40,614 --> 00:04:42,948
[scattered laughter]
107
00:04:44,827 --> 00:04:46,410
[Dianna] We need to be
up here.
108
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:48,102
-[Ray chuckles]
-[countdown clock ticking]
109
00:04:48,104 --> 00:04:49,955
-[Guy] I thought you guys
were superfans?
-[Ray] We are.
110
00:04:49,957 --> 00:04:51,999
-We are!
-[all laughing]
111
00:04:52,075 --> 00:04:53,959
[laughter]
112
00:04:57,131 --> 00:05:00,507
-We're all superfans.
-They're gonna make
this whole new game for us.
113
00:05:00,584 --> 00:05:03,093
Combining three games
into one.
114
00:05:03,095 --> 00:05:06,179
He's really given us, like,
a go for our money here.
115
00:05:06,256 --> 00:05:08,932
-Superfans, step right up!
-What have you
got for me, Hunter?
116
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:10,809
We have
prosciutto-stuffed peppers.
117
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,853
[Rick] Game one
is Salad Sample.
118
00:05:12,929 --> 00:05:14,980
-The prosciutto-stuffed
peppers are...
-These things are rocking.
119
00:05:14,982 --> 00:05:16,481
...gangster.
All right, here you go.
120
00:05:16,483 --> 00:05:18,525
Good luck.
Come back for more, too,
if you want some.
121
00:05:18,527 --> 00:05:20,544
I don't know
what I'm gonna do with that.
122
00:05:20,546 --> 00:05:22,696
[Rick] I go and see Troy.
He's got this
crazy wheel set up.
123
00:05:22,773 --> 00:05:26,908
[Troy] All right.
Well, he's getting
some classical French fondue.
124
00:05:26,985 --> 00:05:28,744
[Rick] I've never even seen
pre-made fondue.
125
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:30,478
I don't know
what they put in it.
126
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,623
Look at you.
Thank you for shopping
in my district today.
127
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:36,418
Let's go, superfans.
Pick your "F" frozen foods.
128
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,545
[Brooke] Oh, whoa! Holy moly.
129
00:05:38,622 --> 00:05:40,005
[Rick] Not just to have to u
frozen food,
130
00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:41,340
it has to begin
with the letter F.
131
00:05:41,342 --> 00:05:42,341
[Brooke] We've got lots
of F's, you know.
132
00:05:42,343 --> 00:05:43,258
We've got florets,
we've got frites.
133
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:45,235
You know, we've got florets.
134
00:05:45,237 --> 00:05:46,678
-French beans.
-We have French green beans,
we've got... Ooh, cauliflower.
135
00:05:46,755 --> 00:05:48,588
-[Marcel] Fish-style,
okay.
-[Rick] Cauliflower florets.
136
00:05:48,590 --> 00:05:50,331
[Rick] I don't have
a signature dish.
I have a signature style.
137
00:05:50,333 --> 00:05:52,684
I love taking dishes
that are classic,
they're a little tired,
138
00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:55,771
and elevating that.
139
00:05:55,847 --> 00:05:58,982
With my signature dish,
I'm gonna do a play
on chicken Kiev.
140
00:05:59,026 --> 00:06:01,008
I'm gonna
switch that up a little bit
141
00:06:01,010 --> 00:06:03,445
I'm gonna use some
pork cutlets, 'cause it's got
a little better flavor.
142
00:06:03,522 --> 00:06:06,698
I need some panko,
and I'm gonna
boost that flavor
143
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:08,700
by wrapping the butter
in some serrano ham.
144
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,495
Eggs, eggs, eggs!
145
00:06:11,497 --> 00:06:13,163
Ah! [laughing]
146
00:06:13,165 --> 00:06:15,582
I absolutely love
Guy's Grocery Games,
147
00:06:15,584 --> 00:06:17,334
but they were right when
he said you can't prepare
for anything.
148
00:06:17,336 --> 00:06:19,193
-[Marcel] What you thinking?
-[Brooke] What's up?
149
00:06:19,195 --> 00:06:21,463
I'm thinking, er, you know,
I do fish tacos
out my food truck...
150
00:06:21,540 --> 00:06:23,465
-[Brooke] Fish tacos,
so you want fish?
-I need fish, yes.
151
00:06:23,467 --> 00:06:24,466
[Ray] Let's do
that fish thing.
Let's do that fish.
152
00:06:24,543 --> 00:06:25,717
[Marcel] You want fish sticks?
153
00:06:25,719 --> 00:06:27,611
[Marcel] We've got it
over here, let's go.
154
00:06:27,613 --> 00:06:31,765
I've never had
concierge shoppers here
in the frozen food section.
155
00:06:31,842 --> 00:06:35,477
When I think of my
signature dish, boom,
it's fish taco.
156
00:06:35,479 --> 00:06:38,480
I figured we can do
fish stick taco.
157
00:06:38,482 --> 00:06:41,566
-[Marcel] You brave
for fish sticks.
-[Ray] All right, damn.
158
00:06:41,568 --> 00:06:44,194
[Marcus]
For my Wheel Of Cheese
I got grilled cheese,
159
00:06:44,238 --> 00:06:48,490
which I didn't realize
there was an actual box
that said, "grilled cheese"
160
00:06:48,567 --> 00:06:49,741
-Here we go, kid.
-Awesome, thank you so much.
161
00:06:49,743 --> 00:06:50,742
-Good luck.
-Appreciate it, man.
162
00:06:50,819 --> 00:06:52,119
All right,
let's see what I can do.
163
00:06:52,121 --> 00:06:53,695
-Yeah, Hunter, my man.
-[Hunter] What up?
164
00:06:53,730 --> 00:06:55,872
-[Ray] What are we looking at?
-Prosciutto-stuffed peppers.
165
00:06:55,874 --> 00:06:57,791
-Hey, they look good.
Nice peppers, good one.
-Appreciate it, man.
166
00:06:57,793 --> 00:06:59,400
All right, let's do this.
167
00:06:59,402 --> 00:07:01,670
[Ray] You can't have a taco
without tomatillo salsa.
168
00:07:01,672 --> 00:07:04,381
We're gonna get
some cilantro? Bam!
169
00:07:04,425 --> 00:07:05,841
Can I get another salad?
170
00:07:05,917 --> 00:07:06,908
Yeah, what kind of salad
do you want?
171
00:07:06,910 --> 00:07:07,817
Let's do this slaw,
right here.
172
00:07:07,819 --> 00:07:08,985
A little slaw?
Yeah, I got you.
173
00:07:08,987 --> 00:07:11,004
-Yeah, let's do a little slaw.
-I got you.
174
00:07:11,006 --> 00:07:13,473
[Ray] One of the aspects
of my tacos I wanted
to incorporate was a slaw.
175
00:07:13,475 --> 00:07:15,600
-Sir, thank you.
-[Hunter] Absolutely.
176
00:07:15,602 --> 00:07:19,229
I've got corn tortillas
right here.
I think we're solid.
177
00:07:19,857 --> 00:07:21,857
Where's the grits?
178
00:07:21,933 --> 00:07:25,986
[Dianna] For my signature di
I'm making blue cheese grit
179
00:07:26,062 --> 00:07:27,988
with smoky sriracha shrimp.
180
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:29,990
-[Marcel] Frozen, frozen.
-[Dianna] Okay.
181
00:07:29,992 --> 00:07:31,992
-[Marcel] What are
you thinking?
-[Dianna] French beans.
182
00:07:32,068 --> 00:07:32,909
[Marcel] French beans.
183
00:07:32,911 --> 00:07:34,536
Thank you.
184
00:07:34,663 --> 00:07:37,038
I could just use this
as a green element
to my dish.
185
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,917
-[Troy] Cheese curds.
Squeaky. You want that?
-Thank you.
186
00:07:40,919 --> 00:07:42,669
-Hi.
-[Hunter] What's up?
187
00:07:42,671 --> 00:07:44,337
[Dianna] I'm just gonna
break these peppers down
188
00:07:44,339 --> 00:07:46,089
and throw it
into my green beans.
189
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:47,549
[Dianna panting]
All right.
190
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,859
[cartoon-style whizzing]
191
00:07:51,889 --> 00:07:55,140
What do you do, go to the zoo
and stick your arm
in the lion cage?
192
00:07:55,142 --> 00:07:59,060
Da-da-da-da-da-da.
They've got some scallops.
193
00:07:59,137 --> 00:08:02,105
For my signature dish
I'm gonna make
a grilled tuna...
194
00:08:02,107 --> 00:08:03,899
Tuna. Looks good to me.
195
00:08:03,975 --> 00:08:05,317
...because ahi
resembles the fish
196
00:08:05,319 --> 00:08:07,277
that we have
at our restaurant.
197
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,654
-Frozen food.
-[Brooke] There's
French green beans.
198
00:08:09,656 --> 00:08:11,490
I think I'm going
with the cauliflower.
199
00:08:11,492 --> 00:08:14,784
From the frozen section,
I chose cauliflower florets
200
00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:17,370
I have a lot of dishes
that I've created in my pas
201
00:08:17,372 --> 00:08:19,831
that I've made
some great purees
that are velvety smooth.
202
00:08:19,833 --> 00:08:22,751
-[Guy] Go, get away
with that... [laughing]
-[Troy] Cheese curds!
203
00:08:22,753 --> 00:08:24,169
-[Troy] All right,
cheese curds it is, buddy.
-[Guy] Ooh!
204
00:08:24,246 --> 00:08:25,170
[Alex] Cheese curds...
205
00:08:25,172 --> 00:08:26,379
Here we go.
206
00:08:26,381 --> 00:08:29,216
...I can throw it
into the cauliflower puree
207
00:08:29,218 --> 00:08:32,052
Prosciutto-stuffed peppers
with provolone inside.
208
00:08:32,128 --> 00:08:34,387
-Thank you, sir.
-You got it.
209
00:08:34,389 --> 00:08:36,097
The Salad Sample one's
kinda thrown me for a loop.
210
00:08:36,174 --> 00:08:38,808
What do I do with this?
211
00:08:38,810 --> 00:08:43,188
As a superfan,
I'm kinda still in shock
as I look around.
212
00:08:43,190 --> 00:08:44,597
A little bok choy.
213
00:08:44,674 --> 00:08:46,608
I was thinking
of spiking my hair
and dying it,
214
00:08:46,685 --> 00:08:50,320
but there can only be one Guy,
so maybe I can be
just the dude.
215
00:08:50,322 --> 00:08:54,449
Here to add
to our superfans' torment,
is our panel of super-judges.
216
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:58,328
The first ever
Tournament Of Champions winner
B-Dog Chef Brooke Williamson.
217
00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,038
Who, me?
218
00:09:00,115 --> 00:09:03,250
Four-time, Pro Bowl fullback,
two-time Triple G winner,
219
00:09:03,326 --> 00:09:06,294
and a sous chef who always
has my back at a barbecue,
220
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:10,048
the one and only,
Chef "Marcelius" Reece,
221
00:09:10,125 --> 00:09:12,175
It's really just Marcel,
but I say it
just to make him mad.
222
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:13,718
-[panel laughing]
-And a food critic,
223
00:09:13,795 --> 00:09:16,763
who is the president
and only member
of his fan club,
224
00:09:16,765 --> 00:09:17,764
Troy "The Boy" Johnson.
225
00:09:17,841 --> 00:09:19,391
Shout out
to all the superfans,
226
00:09:19,393 --> 00:09:22,769
because if it
wasn't for the fans
watching the shows,
227
00:09:22,846 --> 00:09:25,230
keeping this going,
we wouldn't be
in our eighth year
228
00:09:25,232 --> 00:09:26,714
and our
nine millionth episode.
229
00:09:26,792 --> 00:09:29,025
Do you know how many times
I've been in a grocery store,
230
00:09:29,027 --> 00:09:33,113
and people will walk up
to me and go, "Can you do
the three-two-one, Guy?"
231
00:09:33,189 --> 00:09:34,948
-[panel laughing]
-"Can you do it right now?"
232
00:09:37,536 --> 00:09:39,160
[Guy] Twenty-five minutes!
233
00:09:40,038 --> 00:09:41,395
[Ray] What's up, chef,
how are we doing?
234
00:09:41,473 --> 00:09:42,789
-[Guy] How are you, buddy?
-I'm doing wonderful.
235
00:09:42,791 --> 00:09:44,207
We're gonna do
some fish stick tacos.
236
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:45,625
-Fish stick tacos.
-Yeah.
237
00:09:45,744 --> 00:09:47,085
I'm making the salsa,
right now,
238
00:09:47,087 --> 00:09:49,379
I'm roasting these peppers,
roasting the tomatillos.
239
00:09:49,423 --> 00:09:53,300
-Sounds good, man.
-Serrano peppers, the onions.
240
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:57,095
As a superfan, I've seen
Guy's Grocery Games
a plethora of times,
241
00:09:57,172 --> 00:10:00,932
and I know it's about
the gameplay
and showcasing the whammies
242
00:10:01,727 --> 00:10:04,894
So, the cheese,
I put it on the grill,
243
00:10:04,938 --> 00:10:08,607
and then
I'm tasting these
provolone-stuffed peppers..
244
00:10:08,609 --> 00:10:12,902
Ooh, that's spicy.
Do you know what?
It gives me an idea.
245
00:10:12,904 --> 00:10:15,071
I'm gonna put this
inside the salsa
246
00:10:15,073 --> 00:10:17,657
and see if the spiciness
kinda comes out.
247
00:10:17,659 --> 00:10:19,618
What is going on
with that cheese, chef?
248
00:10:19,694 --> 00:10:21,369
[Ray] Ooh,
that looks burnt. Whoops.
249
00:10:21,371 --> 00:10:23,288
The grilled cheese whammy
kinda threw me off.
250
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:27,083
I saw that I kinda burnt it
and it didn't look good.
251
00:10:27,085 --> 00:10:29,544
I can't hide these whammies
at all.
252
00:10:29,546 --> 00:10:32,631
That's not
what a true Triple G fan
would do with this.
253
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:44,059
[Brooke] So, this is
Grocery List Of Games.
254
00:10:44,061 --> 00:10:46,269
[Troy] So these superfans
gotta use something
from the salad bar,
255
00:10:46,271 --> 00:10:49,439
the Wheel Of Cheese,
Frozen Feud ABCs.
256
00:10:49,441 --> 00:10:51,040
I know these are superfans,
257
00:10:51,042 --> 00:10:52,984
but those are
some of the hardest games
in Flavortown,
258
00:10:52,986 --> 00:10:54,444
all in one competition.
259
00:10:54,446 --> 00:10:57,072
[Ray] Ooh,
that looks burnt. Whoops.
260
00:10:57,148 --> 00:10:58,657
[Guy] What is going on
with that cheese, chef?
261
00:10:58,733 --> 00:11:00,307
I would melt them
better than that,
throw it over there.
262
00:11:00,309 --> 00:11:01,576
You have to have
salamander,
go throw it over there.
263
00:11:01,578 --> 00:11:02,869
You're right, you're right.
Thank you, Chef.
264
00:11:02,946 --> 00:11:06,122
My signature taco
on our food truck
265
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:09,250
has Cotija queso fresco
on there,
but we didn't have that.
266
00:11:09,327 --> 00:11:11,252
Hopefully, I get some
nice melted cheese.
267
00:11:11,329 --> 00:11:14,047
[Guy] Twenty minutes!
268
00:11:14,049 --> 00:11:15,507
All right, chef,
what's on the gameplan?
269
00:11:15,509 --> 00:11:18,593
I'm going with one of
my signature dishes.
270
00:11:18,670 --> 00:11:22,722
It's gonna be
a togarashi tuna
with a little bok choy,
271
00:11:22,724 --> 00:11:26,309
with a little
cauliflower puree
on the bottom.
272
00:11:26,311 --> 00:11:29,521
I know that the tuna
is not going to take
very long to cook,
273
00:11:29,597 --> 00:11:33,483
so I'm gonna
start working on
the frozen cauliflower puree
274
00:11:33,527 --> 00:11:35,527
I've got some of my
cheese curds in here.
275
00:11:35,603 --> 00:11:38,613
As a superfan,
to get the opportunity
to meet Guy
276
00:11:38,615 --> 00:11:40,740
is just unbelievable.
277
00:11:40,742 --> 00:11:45,245
I'm using measuring cups
to scoop the cheesy sauce
into here.
278
00:11:45,247 --> 00:11:48,540
And I'm a huge superfan
of what Guy's doing
for the culinary industry.
279
00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:52,293
Beautiful.
280
00:11:52,295 --> 00:11:53,937
[Guy] All right, chef,
what are you thinking?
281
00:11:53,939 --> 00:11:56,589
I'm thinking
I'm gonna do a little play
on a chicken Kiev,
282
00:11:56,666 --> 00:11:57,757
-real old school...
-Okay.
283
00:11:57,759 --> 00:11:59,634
...where I take
some pork cutlets
284
00:11:59,711 --> 00:12:01,377
stuff 'em with some
cold butter
285
00:12:01,379 --> 00:12:03,179
and fry 'em up,
so the butter stays liquid
in the middle.
286
00:12:03,214 --> 00:12:04,723
Fantastic!
287
00:12:04,725 --> 00:12:07,267
Some pork cutlets,
I'm gonna pound 'em up
nice and thin.
288
00:12:07,302 --> 00:12:08,785
[heavy pounding]
289
00:12:08,787 --> 00:12:10,979
Put some serrano ham
and the butter in there,
290
00:12:10,981 --> 00:12:12,121
and then
we're gonna roll it up...
291
00:12:12,123 --> 00:12:13,881
Serrano for a little
extra flavor.
292
00:12:13,959 --> 00:12:17,777
...bread it in panko,
and drop that
in the deep fryer.
293
00:12:17,854 --> 00:12:20,113
Hey, Dianna,
can you believe that
we're here?
294
00:12:20,115 --> 00:12:21,614
No, I can't.
295
00:12:21,691 --> 00:12:22,949
How we doing, chef?
296
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:25,301
Nervous.
297
00:12:25,303 --> 00:12:26,411
-Oh, don't be nervous.
You got this.
-Thank you, chef.
298
00:12:26,413 --> 00:12:27,912
What are you working?
299
00:12:27,914 --> 00:12:31,416
My Buffalo blue cheese grits
and smoky sriracha shrimp...
300
00:12:31,418 --> 00:12:33,067
-Fantastic.
-...is my signature dish.
301
00:12:33,069 --> 00:12:34,502
Starting to getting
those grits
started first, right?
302
00:12:34,504 --> 00:12:36,504
-Yes, chef.
-Okay.
303
00:12:36,581 --> 00:12:41,301
Adding some
cream cheese to this,
so a little bit smoother.
304
00:12:41,303 --> 00:12:44,596
Now I'm gonna add pepper jac
blue cheese.
305
00:12:44,672 --> 00:12:45,989
Using my cheese curds.
306
00:12:45,991 --> 00:12:49,642
This just made it
all come together perfectly.
307
00:12:49,719 --> 00:12:52,353
Next, I need to start on
these frozen green beans.
308
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:58,234
I also have the provolone,
prosciutt' peppers,
309
00:12:58,236 --> 00:13:02,614
so I put the prosciutt'
and the peppers
inside of my French beans.
310
00:13:03,074 --> 00:13:05,158
It's super-amazing to be her
311
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,660
I've been watching
Grocery Games
since they first came out.
312
00:13:07,662 --> 00:13:10,997
Um, I absolutely adore Guy.
313
00:13:10,999 --> 00:13:13,124
You know,
there's been over 400 shows,
314
00:13:13,201 --> 00:13:14,834
and I'm just excited
to be on one.
315
00:13:14,911 --> 00:13:16,628
My clothes are a mess.
316
00:13:18,799 --> 00:13:19,923
[Guy] Fifteen minutes!
317
00:13:19,925 --> 00:13:21,800
Fish sticks, two up... Two.
318
00:13:21,876 --> 00:13:23,860
[Ray] So, for my fish sticks
319
00:13:23,862 --> 00:13:28,139
I put them in the fryer
and within a minute and a half
they were done.
320
00:13:29,184 --> 00:13:29,882
Perfect.
321
00:13:29,884 --> 00:13:31,810
Next up, the tortillas.
322
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:37,148
As a superfan,
I'm watching Triple G
all the time.
323
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,734
I love that Guy
always has something
in the back of his head.
324
00:13:39,736 --> 00:13:42,445
You can't prepare.
You don't know
what's gonna happen,
325
00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,322
and that's what brings
the fun out of it.
326
00:13:47,577 --> 00:13:50,119
This is gonna be interesting.
327
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:52,956
I've never eaten
stuffed peppers before.
328
00:13:52,958 --> 00:13:55,224
So, let's try one.
329
00:13:55,226 --> 00:13:57,418
I had to taste them
to see what the flavor profi
was gonna be there.
330
00:13:57,420 --> 00:14:00,046
Yep, just as I thought,
extra cheesy.
331
00:14:00,123 --> 00:14:02,757
I ended up chopping
these stuffed peppers,
332
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:06,052
heat them up
with purple cauliflower,
to make a pepper relish.
333
00:14:06,087 --> 00:14:07,403
Tuna.
334
00:14:07,405 --> 00:14:09,138
I'm gonna start
working on the tuna.
335
00:14:09,140 --> 00:14:13,726
I'm gonna season my tuna
with togarashi seasoning.
336
00:14:14,271 --> 00:14:15,895
Quick grill.
337
00:14:15,897 --> 00:14:18,231
I think this will be something
to really showcase who I am.
338
00:14:18,859 --> 00:14:20,650
There we go, nice char.
339
00:14:20,652 --> 00:14:22,694
[Guy] Seven minutes!
Seven to go!
340
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:24,696
Don't wanna overcook those.
341
00:14:27,325 --> 00:14:31,077
We get this
frozen cauliflower,
I've got this premade fondue
342
00:14:31,079 --> 00:14:32,912
I figured two birds
and one stone,
343
00:14:32,989 --> 00:14:34,747
I'm gonna
combine those flavors
344
00:14:34,749 --> 00:14:36,416
and make a nice puree
as the base of my dish.
345
00:14:36,418 --> 00:14:39,168
The most challenging thing
about working with frozen fo
346
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:41,621
is the texture.
347
00:14:41,623 --> 00:14:44,757
There's not a lot you can d
to bring back a fresh textur
to it, so I puree it up,
348
00:14:44,759 --> 00:14:46,217
and try to get
the right consistency.
349
00:14:46,595 --> 00:14:47,385
Smooth.
350
00:14:47,387 --> 00:14:48,978
So my cauliflower's going,
351
00:14:48,980 --> 00:14:51,114
now I've gotta figure out
what to do
with this pickled pepper.
352
00:14:51,116 --> 00:14:54,559
I think I may need somethin
to cut through the richness
from the fried pork,
353
00:14:54,636 --> 00:14:58,438
so we're definitely gonna ma
a little salsa verde
with these pickled peppers.
354
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,774
Also need
some nice, fresh herbs
and some shallots
355
00:15:01,776 --> 00:15:04,736
to cut through
all the richness
and bring some flavor.
356
00:15:08,325 --> 00:15:12,619
The dish isn't complete
without the smoky
sriracha sauce,
357
00:15:12,621 --> 00:15:17,165
Irish butter,
some sriracha ketchup
and some smoked paprika.
358
00:15:17,167 --> 00:15:18,166
Five minutes!
359
00:15:18,168 --> 00:15:20,043
I'm a mess. [nervous laugh]
360
00:15:20,045 --> 00:15:24,380
Time is so precious
when you're in that kitchen,
361
00:15:24,382 --> 00:15:26,549
and I have so much going on
362
00:15:26,551 --> 00:15:29,177
-[Guy] You got those shrimp
working, chef?
-Right here, chef.
363
00:15:29,253 --> 00:15:30,577
-Let's get those down.
-Okay.
364
00:15:30,579 --> 00:15:32,805
Oh, my gosh,
I have to put the shrimp down.
365
00:15:32,882 --> 00:15:35,892
I just had to do
the quickest thing
and saute them.
366
00:15:35,894 --> 00:15:37,852
I feel so unorganized,
right now.
367
00:15:37,854 --> 00:15:39,687
[Guy] Three minutes!
368
00:15:39,689 --> 00:15:41,981
[Ray] I took my tortillas
off the grill,
369
00:15:42,058 --> 00:15:45,568
put my sauce on,
put on the slaw,
370
00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:49,072
pulled my cheese
from the salamander,
and it's looking good.
371
00:15:49,074 --> 00:15:51,574
And from there I plate it
with the fish sticks.
372
00:15:51,576 --> 00:15:52,617
Chefs, let's get plated.
373
00:15:52,619 --> 00:15:54,702
[Alex] Holy jeepers!
374
00:15:54,779 --> 00:15:57,538
I'm gonna start
with the cauliflower puree..
375
00:15:57,540 --> 00:16:00,625
Oh, did it, did it, did it.
376
00:16:00,702 --> 00:16:03,169
...I'm gonna rest my tuna
on top of that,
377
00:16:03,246 --> 00:16:06,297
and then
the cauliflower pepper relis
378
00:16:06,299 --> 00:16:08,591
I'll finish it
with the bok choy.
379
00:16:09,552 --> 00:16:11,928
[Guy] Ninety seconds!
380
00:16:11,930 --> 00:16:15,181
[Rick] First, we get
the cauliflower down
with the fondue.
381
00:16:15,183 --> 00:16:16,599
I'm gonna take my pork Kievs
382
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:18,201
they're crispy
they're delicious-looking.
383
00:16:18,203 --> 00:16:20,228
I drop 'em right on top
of the cauliflower puree.
384
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:23,898
Then we top it all
with our nice pickled peppe
salsa verde.
385
00:16:23,900 --> 00:16:25,400
All right, baby.
386
00:16:25,402 --> 00:16:26,401
[Guy] Thirty seconds!
387
00:16:26,477 --> 00:16:27,819
[Dianna] Oh, my God.
388
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:31,322
Going down to seconds,
and I have to plate my food.
389
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:34,659
I've got the grits down,
I've got the shrimp down...
390
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:37,120
[Guy] The shrimp
are looking good.
391
00:16:37,122 --> 00:16:39,747
...and I've put
my green beans down
with the peppers.
392
00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:42,917
I'm gonna finish this off
with the smoky sriracha sauce.
393
00:16:42,994 --> 00:16:47,338
[Guy] Three... two... one!
That's it, chefs!
Stop working.
394
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,007
[applause]
395
00:16:51,678 --> 00:16:54,012
That was a rush.
That went fast.
396
00:16:54,014 --> 00:16:58,099
All right, superfans,
let's take those super-dishes
to the super-judges.
397
00:16:58,101 --> 00:16:59,809
Follow me, right this way.
398
00:17:07,652 --> 00:17:09,777
This is the
Supermarket Of Mischief.
399
00:17:09,854 --> 00:17:13,031
We bring in superfan chefs,
and they had to make
a signature dish
400
00:17:13,033 --> 00:17:15,241
using three new Grocery Game
401
00:17:15,243 --> 00:17:17,744
Chef Rick, you're up first,
tell us about this dish.
402
00:17:17,746 --> 00:17:20,788
My signature style involves
taking a lot of older,
403
00:17:20,790 --> 00:17:22,290
maybe some tired
classic dishes,
404
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:24,433
reinventing
and elevating them
a little bit.
405
00:17:24,435 --> 00:17:26,627
So I immediately thought
of chicken Kiev,
but we did a little different.
406
00:17:26,629 --> 00:17:28,529
We took some
nice pork cutlets,
407
00:17:28,531 --> 00:17:32,467
put that over
some cauliflower floret
and fondue puree,
408
00:17:32,469 --> 00:17:34,886
from my mystery ingredients -
and topped it
with a little bit of
409
00:17:34,888 --> 00:17:37,638
pickled pepper salsa verde.
410
00:17:39,809 --> 00:17:43,061
Rick, beautiful dish.
As soon as you sit down,
you wanna dig in.
411
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:46,522
The pork, extremely crispy,
that texture is so important.
412
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:49,484
[Troy] You took those peppers
and you gave me,
like, a gremolata.
413
00:17:49,486 --> 00:17:51,127
You needed that bright note,
414
00:17:51,162 --> 00:17:52,570
because you have a lot of fat
and you gotta lot of meat
in there,
415
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,405
-and I think that was a great
and smart move.
-Right. Thank you.
416
00:17:54,407 --> 00:17:56,741
If this is a play
on your signature dish,
417
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:59,911
I wanna come and see
what your
actual signature dish is.
418
00:17:59,913 --> 00:18:02,330
But I'm struggling with
the consistency or the texture
of that puree.
419
00:18:02,332 --> 00:18:04,473
To me,
it's a little bit gritty,
420
00:18:04,475 --> 00:18:08,336
and I think that might be
because you didn't cook
the cauliflower down enough.
421
00:18:08,412 --> 00:18:10,713
All right, thank you, chef.
Up next, Chef Raymond.
422
00:18:10,757 --> 00:18:13,966
I have a food truck,
so I figured
my signature dish, you know,
423
00:18:13,968 --> 00:18:16,177
Baja fish stick-style tacos
424
00:18:16,179 --> 00:18:21,516
I have some tomatillo salsa,
and the grilled cheese
on there, as well.
425
00:18:21,518 --> 00:18:25,770
[Brooke] Raymond,
you nailed the gameplay
on your signature dish.
426
00:18:25,847 --> 00:18:28,147
It's not often
you find a fish stick
in a taco.
427
00:18:28,149 --> 00:18:30,608
Your salsa
has really good acidity.
428
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:34,612
I think you made
a great, strategic choice
with going to get that slaw.
429
00:18:34,647 --> 00:18:36,823
Going back
and getting that slaw,
I think it helped you.
430
00:18:36,825 --> 00:18:39,909
-I think you should have
used some more spice.
-Okay.
431
00:18:39,911 --> 00:18:41,828
[Troy] You had
the grilled cheese.
432
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:44,413
I would have
liked to have seen that
evenly dispersed
433
00:18:44,415 --> 00:18:47,333
-over that entire thing.
-I know. I should have
thought about that.
434
00:18:47,335 --> 00:18:49,276
Up next, Chef Alex.
435
00:18:49,278 --> 00:18:52,672
Being from California,
I've always prided myself
in delicious seafoods.
436
00:18:52,748 --> 00:18:56,092
So I decided to do
togarashi grilled ahi tuna
437
00:18:56,094 --> 00:19:02,056
cauliflower and cheese curd
puree, with a little bit
of grilled bok choy.
438
00:19:02,058 --> 00:19:05,309
I used the peppers,
which I got
from the salad bar,
439
00:19:07,188 --> 00:19:10,398
Chef Alex, I applaud you
on how much you've got done
440
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,150
in such a short period
of time.
441
00:19:12,226 --> 00:19:15,361
Alex, I like what you did
with the togarashi crust
on your tuna.
442
00:19:15,363 --> 00:19:18,239
You know, it's got
a nice little sear on there,
it gave me a little texture,
443
00:19:18,241 --> 00:19:20,700
and then the inside
is basically
a sushi experience.
444
00:19:20,702 --> 00:19:22,076
-Nice work.
-Thank you.
445
00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:23,828
I think you did struggle
with the gameplay.
446
00:19:23,905 --> 00:19:28,082
I feel like you
almost masked the cheese
447
00:19:28,084 --> 00:19:30,877
and the cauliflower,
along with the peppers.
448
00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:34,297
I'm having trouble finding
the pepper on my dish,
in particular.
449
00:19:35,758 --> 00:19:37,091
Last, but not least,
not to be outdone,
450
00:19:37,093 --> 00:19:38,426
Chef Dianna,
what do you have for us?
451
00:19:38,502 --> 00:19:40,970
So I have my signature
blue cheese grits
452
00:19:40,972 --> 00:19:42,680
and smoky sriracha shrimp.
453
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:44,223
For your blue cheese grits,
454
00:19:44,225 --> 00:19:46,475
I incorporated
the cheese curds
from the challenge.
455
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,936
I also used
the frozen French beans
456
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:53,858
which I incorporated
the prosciutt'
and the peppers in.
457
00:19:58,865 --> 00:20:01,866
You do not false advertise,
you said cheese grits,
458
00:20:01,943 --> 00:20:03,910
-and there's 17,000 cheeses
in here!
-Absolutely.
459
00:20:03,912 --> 00:20:05,453
It's really nice.
460
00:20:05,529 --> 00:20:07,196
-Thank you.
-It has got a funk.
461
00:20:07,198 --> 00:20:10,166
How you managed
to get texture
into frozen green beans
462
00:20:10,210 --> 00:20:12,043
is beyond my comprehension.
463
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:16,047
What I am missing
is a little bit of char
on that shrimp.
464
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:17,924
The shrimp feels
a little bit flaccid.
465
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,383
Okay.
466
00:20:19,385 --> 00:20:21,093
I'm having trouble
with the plating,
a little bit.
467
00:20:21,095 --> 00:20:24,222
I know it's fish and grits,
but we also have now
468
00:20:24,224 --> 00:20:27,516
green beans in a bowl
next to shrimp and grits.
469
00:20:29,103 --> 00:20:31,229
A little bit different
than what you watch on TV?
470
00:20:31,231 --> 00:20:33,898
-Yeah.
-A little bit. For sure.
471
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,317
[Guy] I think you all
did good. I mean, that was not
an easy challenge.
472
00:20:36,394 --> 00:20:37,518
So job well-done.
473
00:20:37,553 --> 00:20:38,927
We'll send you back
to the kitchens,
474
00:20:38,929 --> 00:20:40,821
and we will call you back
when we have a decision.
475
00:20:42,742 --> 00:20:47,036
So, judges,
which superfan is going to be
super-disappointed?
476
00:20:47,038 --> 00:20:49,914
Twenty points available
in Gameplay, 20 points
available in Taste,
477
00:20:49,916 --> 00:20:52,250
ten points available
in Plating, for a total of 50.
478
00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:04,887
All right,
it's time to find out
whose dish was a mega-hit.
479
00:21:04,931 --> 00:21:06,639
Let's get into the scores.
480
00:21:06,641 --> 00:21:08,641
-Ray, we'll start off
with you, bud.
-All right.
481
00:21:08,643 --> 00:21:09,809
-Drum roll, please.
-[drum roll]
482
00:21:09,811 --> 00:21:12,061
[Guy] Gameplay, 16 out of 20.
483
00:21:12,063 --> 00:21:14,230
Taste, 10 out of 20.
484
00:21:14,232 --> 00:21:17,400
Plating, 7 out of 10, for 33.
485
00:21:17,402 --> 00:21:19,110
[chuckles] Thanks.
486
00:21:19,112 --> 00:21:22,446
[Guy] Rick, Gameplay,
16 out of 20.
487
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,782
14 out of 20 in Taste.
488
00:21:24,859 --> 00:21:28,160
9 out of 10 in Plating,
for 39. Good score.
489
00:21:29,497 --> 00:21:34,917
Dianna, gotta beat a 33
at this point to stay in this.
490
00:21:34,961 --> 00:21:37,795
Gameplay, 14 out of 20.
491
00:21:37,797 --> 00:21:40,006
Taste, 11 out of 20,
492
00:21:40,008 --> 00:21:42,049
and plating, a 6,
493
00:21:42,126 --> 00:21:44,260
for a score of 31.
494
00:21:44,262 --> 00:21:45,344
Right now, Dianna,
495
00:21:45,421 --> 00:21:47,263
we have you trailing this.
496
00:21:47,265 --> 00:21:50,725
Alex, it's gotta be
better than a 31
to stay in the game.
497
00:21:51,144 --> 00:21:52,476
Gameplay,
498
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:54,937
12 out of 20.
499
00:21:54,981 --> 00:21:57,732
Taste, 12 out of 20.
500
00:21:57,734 --> 00:21:59,984
Plating, 8 out of 10,
501
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:01,569
for a 32,
502
00:22:01,571 --> 00:22:04,280
-edging out Dianna
by one point.
-[Rick] Wow.
503
00:22:04,282 --> 00:22:06,824
Dianna, I think time
might've got away from you
a little bit.
504
00:22:06,826 --> 00:22:08,993
-Chef Dianna, very nice
to have you. Thank you.
-Thank you so much.
505
00:22:08,995 --> 00:22:10,719
Thanks, everybody.
506
00:22:12,123 --> 00:22:14,707
So, I've been a fan
of Guy's Grocery Games
forever,
507
00:22:14,784 --> 00:22:17,084
so this definitely was
an honor to compete.
508
00:22:17,161 --> 00:22:19,378
This experience was amazing
509
00:22:19,455 --> 00:22:22,131
I look forward to coming bac
and crushing it.
510
00:22:24,302 --> 00:22:26,177
This is it,
the final round.
511
00:22:26,179 --> 00:22:28,846
Now, Chef Rick,
you are in the lead,
512
00:22:28,848 --> 00:22:29,972
but this is anybody's game,
513
00:22:29,974 --> 00:22:31,640
so, for your final challenge,
514
00:22:31,642 --> 00:22:35,436
I want you to really express
your inner superfan
515
00:22:35,438 --> 00:22:39,106
by giving us
your perfect vision
of a Flavortown dish.
516
00:22:39,108 --> 00:22:40,483
Okay?
517
00:22:40,485 --> 00:22:41,901
-What else do we need?
-We need a game.
518
00:22:41,903 --> 00:22:43,977
Oh, we need a game,
that's right,
519
00:22:43,979 --> 00:22:47,239
a game that I created,
because it's like something
you've never seen before.
520
00:22:47,316 --> 00:22:49,408
I call it "Facing Your Fears".
521
00:22:49,410 --> 00:22:52,119
[electricity crackling]
522
00:22:52,121 --> 00:22:53,728
Take a look.
523
00:22:57,585 --> 00:23:01,504
Behind each face
is the judges'
favorite ingredient,
524
00:23:01,506 --> 00:23:03,506
and then you are gonna cook
with that.
525
00:23:03,508 --> 00:23:04,882
Chef, you're in the lead.
526
00:23:04,884 --> 00:23:06,467
Come on up.
I want you to spin it.
527
00:23:06,469 --> 00:23:07,843
[Troy] Guy's always wanted
my head on a plate,
528
00:23:07,887 --> 00:23:09,136
but he got it on a wheel.
529
00:23:09,213 --> 00:23:12,139
[ticking clock music]
530
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:13,516
[Guy] Unfortunately,
you got Troy.
531
00:23:13,518 --> 00:23:14,433
Yeah!
532
00:23:14,435 --> 00:23:15,726
Just get this off here.
533
00:23:15,803 --> 00:23:18,562
I can't... Oh, it's baby food.
534
00:23:18,564 --> 00:23:19,897
Troy just had a baby boy.
535
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,190
Me, too.
536
00:23:21,234 --> 00:23:22,808
-Oh, congratulations.
-Thank you.
537
00:23:22,810 --> 00:23:26,612
So baby food is
a must-use ingredient
in your dish.
538
00:23:26,614 --> 00:23:27,613
Sorry.
539
00:23:27,690 --> 00:23:29,298
[Guy] Chef Raymond,
540
00:23:29,300 --> 00:23:30,449
why don't you spin?
See if you can get
anything better.
541
00:23:36,416 --> 00:23:38,666
-[all] Oh!
-Back spin.
542
00:23:38,742 --> 00:23:41,085
-[Guy] Over to Marcelius.
-[laughter]
543
00:23:41,087 --> 00:23:42,920
Let's see what we have
behind Marcelius.
544
00:23:42,922 --> 00:23:44,964
And you get yourself...
545
00:23:45,591 --> 00:23:46,815
[Guy and Raymond]
Seaweed snacks!
546
00:23:46,817 --> 00:23:48,300
-All right. All right.
-[Guy] I love it!
547
00:23:49,262 --> 00:23:51,137
Let's not leave Brooke
out of the party.
548
00:23:51,139 --> 00:23:53,472
Let's just go ahead
and pull Brooke...
Gummy frogs.
549
00:23:53,474 --> 00:23:54,890
-[all laughing]
-[Guy] Yeah!
550
00:23:54,892 --> 00:23:56,267
I think that these are great.
551
00:23:56,343 --> 00:24:00,187
Baby food, seaweed snacks,
gummy frogs,
552
00:24:00,264 --> 00:24:02,815
and you three,
because you're superfans,
553
00:24:02,892 --> 00:24:04,817
are gonna use
all three whammies.
554
00:24:05,111 --> 00:24:06,902
-Oh!
-Ooh, no.
555
00:24:06,946 --> 00:24:09,447
[Guy] Thirty minutes
to make your perfect
Flavortown dish,
556
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:11,949
using all three
judge whammies.
557
00:24:11,951 --> 00:24:14,285
The three of you guys,
I was gonna have you
just use two of these,
558
00:24:14,287 --> 00:24:15,661
'cause then one of you guys
would've felt like
559
00:24:15,738 --> 00:24:17,455
you didn't go
and get the right thing...
560
00:24:17,531 --> 00:24:19,457
[clock ticking]
561
00:24:19,533 --> 00:24:22,835
...so I just wanted
to make sure that
562
00:24:22,912 --> 00:24:25,463
the three superfans
were all recognized,
563
00:24:25,465 --> 00:24:28,215
and the three super-judges,
okay?
564
00:24:28,292 --> 00:24:30,384
So... Because, I mean,
two of these things...
565
00:24:30,461 --> 00:24:32,636
If was gonna say the two
that would be tough,
566
00:24:32,713 --> 00:24:34,930
it would probably be
the baby food
and the gummy frogs.
567
00:24:34,932 --> 00:24:36,557
The one that I really think.
568
00:24:40,605 --> 00:24:41,854
Still got it.
569
00:24:43,149 --> 00:24:44,940
[Raymond] Yeah,
gummy frogs, gummy frogs.
570
00:24:44,984 --> 00:24:47,151
-Gummy frogs, right here.
-Oh, God. Right.
571
00:24:47,153 --> 00:24:49,236
[Raymond]
Brooke gave us gummy frogs.
572
00:24:49,238 --> 00:24:50,905
What the heck's a gummy frog?
573
00:24:50,981 --> 00:24:52,948
Seaweed, seaweed,
seaweed snacks.
574
00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:56,494
Marcel gave us seaweed snack
I eat seaweed snacks.
575
00:24:56,570 --> 00:24:57,703
There.
576
00:24:57,780 --> 00:24:58,579
I was excited for that one.
577
00:24:58,581 --> 00:24:59,914
All right!
578
00:24:59,916 --> 00:25:01,248
Troy gave us baby food.
579
00:25:01,325 --> 00:25:03,492
Just doing a squash.
580
00:25:03,494 --> 00:25:06,295
The only experience
that I have of baby food
is with my aunt's cat.
581
00:25:06,297 --> 00:25:07,880
-[laughing]
-[cat meows]
582
00:25:07,882 --> 00:25:09,823
Let's do this over here.
583
00:25:09,825 --> 00:25:14,803
I feel, like, what makes
a perfect Flavortown dish
is big bold flavors,
584
00:25:14,805 --> 00:25:17,932
something that shows
your personality as a chef,
585
00:25:17,934 --> 00:25:19,808
so I'm gonna make
a shrimp wrap.
586
00:25:19,810 --> 00:25:21,644
Bam! All right.
587
00:25:21,646 --> 00:25:22,811
Here we go.
588
00:25:22,813 --> 00:25:24,855
And then I see cheese puffs
589
00:25:24,932 --> 00:25:26,857
Stick this stuff with panko.
590
00:25:26,859 --> 00:25:29,985
I'm thinking,
"Let's do a cheese puff,
beer-battered shrimp."
591
00:25:30,029 --> 00:25:31,111
All right!
592
00:25:31,113 --> 00:25:32,696
I do know
what I would do though.
593
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:35,574
Baby food, I'd get
some kind of a cereal
to make a coating,
594
00:25:35,651 --> 00:25:37,785
and incorporate the seaweed
into that.
595
00:25:37,861 --> 00:25:39,111
Take the gummies,
596
00:25:39,113 --> 00:25:41,705
mix those in to make
a sweet and sour sauce,
597
00:25:41,782 --> 00:25:44,667
and that is
a Flavortown-esque-type dish.
598
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:46,252
Maybe that's what I'll cook.
599
00:25:46,254 --> 00:25:47,628
Think, think, think.
600
00:25:48,422 --> 00:25:50,548
I have to use gummy frogs,
601
00:25:50,550 --> 00:25:54,218
which I have no idea
what these are.
602
00:25:54,220 --> 00:25:57,513
Then I have to use
seaweed snacks and baby food
603
00:25:57,807 --> 00:25:59,807
Winter squash.
604
00:25:59,809 --> 00:26:01,433
A Flavortown dish to me,
605
00:26:01,435 --> 00:26:03,852
knowing Guy
and being a superfan...
606
00:26:04,605 --> 00:26:05,938
[whimpering] Um...
607
00:26:05,940 --> 00:26:06,897
...barbecue was
my first thought,
608
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:10,192
because Guy likes barbecue,
609
00:26:10,194 --> 00:26:14,822
so I'm planning on making
Asian-style short rib
with rice stir-fry.
610
00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:16,240
Don't twist my arm.
611
00:26:16,242 --> 00:26:18,242
[panting] All right.
Let's see.
612
00:26:18,244 --> 00:26:19,651
Gochujang.
613
00:26:19,653 --> 00:26:22,121
Learning from my mistake
off the first round,
614
00:26:22,197 --> 00:26:24,540
I'm gonna keep it
a little bit more simple
this time,
615
00:26:24,542 --> 00:26:27,793
and just let
a lot of the ingredients
speak for themselves.
616
00:26:27,870 --> 00:26:29,295
Let's do this.
617
00:26:30,256 --> 00:26:32,072
What have we got?
What looks good?
618
00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:34,216
"Flavortown dish" means
doing something unique
and unexpected.
619
00:26:34,218 --> 00:26:36,427
I'm gonna make
a watermelon gazpacho
620
00:26:36,429 --> 00:26:37,678
with some grilled seafood
on top.
621
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,263
Grilled scallops.
622
00:26:40,182 --> 00:26:42,308
And maybe some shrimp.
623
00:26:43,894 --> 00:26:46,145
They don't tell you
about a cardio on this show.
624
00:26:46,147 --> 00:26:47,846
[whispering]
What have you got?
What have you got?
625
00:26:47,923 --> 00:26:49,898
Seaweed snacks,
I don't know what I'm gonna do
with those,
626
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:50,983
but we're gonna figure it out.
627
00:26:50,985 --> 00:26:53,485
Go with it.
628
00:26:53,487 --> 00:26:56,572
The gummy frogs
and the baby food
are both really sweet.
629
00:26:56,574 --> 00:26:59,658
I'm gonna have to balance
that out by bringing in spice
from the Fresno peppers.
630
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:01,493
I'm ready to bring this flavor
to Flavortown.
631
00:27:01,704 --> 00:27:03,028
Whoo!
632
00:27:03,030 --> 00:27:05,581
So, what I'm gonna make
is a sweet and sour...
633
00:27:05,625 --> 00:27:07,124
Spiny lobster, here.
634
00:27:07,376 --> 00:27:08,851
Little biscuits.
635
00:27:08,853 --> 00:27:11,462
Twenty minutes to go,
and I made a decision to cook.
636
00:27:11,464 --> 00:27:13,130
Not very smart.
637
00:27:21,265 --> 00:27:22,181
[Guy] Twenty-five minutes.
638
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:23,557
We got seaweed snack.
639
00:27:23,559 --> 00:27:27,019
We have superfans creating
their Flavortown dish.
640
00:27:27,021 --> 00:27:30,189
[Troy] These guys gotta use
baby food, gummy frogs.
641
00:27:30,191 --> 00:27:31,065
Thanks, Brooke.
642
00:27:31,141 --> 00:27:32,149
And seaweed snacks,
643
00:27:32,151 --> 00:27:35,444
which go perfectly
with gummy frogs.
644
00:27:35,446 --> 00:27:36,945
-Who doesn't love
a gummy frog?
-[Marcel laughs]
645
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:39,231
All right.
646
00:27:39,233 --> 00:27:42,201
So, I'm gonna try
to bake a panko-crusted
shrimp lettuce wrap
647
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:44,662
with a sweet mini-frog sauce.
648
00:27:44,664 --> 00:27:47,706
Last round, surprisingly,
I got a low Taste score.
649
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:52,294
This round, I wanna make sur
that all of those flavors
are there.
650
00:27:52,338 --> 00:27:56,048
I'm gonna combine
the baby snacks
with my seafood snacks
651
00:27:56,050 --> 00:27:58,384
to make a crust for my shrim
652
00:27:58,386 --> 00:28:01,178
and then I also
start making a beer batter.
653
00:28:01,255 --> 00:28:03,847
Ooh. What are you breading
those shrimp with?
654
00:28:03,849 --> 00:28:05,849
[Raymond] Well, I got
a beer batter with some flour,
655
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:08,018
and I'm using a little crust
with the little munchies.
656
00:28:08,095 --> 00:28:10,729
Yeah, that is prime Gameplay.
657
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:14,942
[Guy] Twenty-four minutes.
658
00:28:14,977 --> 00:28:17,569
And look at my superfan,
who's now in kitchen four.
659
00:28:17,646 --> 00:28:20,447
I'm gonna make
a sweet and sour sauce
660
00:28:20,524 --> 00:28:23,325
with these gummies,
661
00:28:23,911 --> 00:28:26,078
rice vinegar, ketchup,
662
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,080
chili crisp.
663
00:28:28,082 --> 00:28:30,124
Drop in some of the noodles.
664
00:28:30,126 --> 00:28:31,500
[Troy] Imagine being
a superfan of the show,
665
00:28:31,502 --> 00:28:33,127
and you show up
in kitchen three,
666
00:28:33,129 --> 00:28:35,838
and Guy ponies up
in kitchen four.
667
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,257
Guy really loves, like,
barbecue.
668
00:28:38,259 --> 00:28:41,260
I found some flanken
short ribs.
669
00:28:41,336 --> 00:28:45,180
I'm gonna try to make
a little of, like,
a chili-spice gochujang
670
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:46,306
with some rice.
671
00:28:46,809 --> 00:28:47,766
Here we go.
672
00:28:47,843 --> 00:28:49,542
For the gummy frogs,
673
00:28:49,544 --> 00:28:53,230
I'll make, like, a marinade
for the flanken short ribs.
674
00:28:53,232 --> 00:28:56,066
Go on, rice wine,
be my friend.
675
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:57,735
I added a little nougat butt
676
00:28:57,737 --> 00:28:59,653
and the chili crisp.
677
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:02,322
Oh, yeah.
That's gonna be great.
678
00:29:02,324 --> 00:29:04,825
I blended the gummy frog,
marinated it,
679
00:29:04,827 --> 00:29:07,077
and when it was ready,
I added them to the short ri
680
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:09,246
and let them do
a quick marinade.
681
00:29:09,323 --> 00:29:11,749
I have three kids,
so I've eaten this.
682
00:29:11,825 --> 00:29:13,125
Next, I'm gonna work
on the baby food.
683
00:29:13,127 --> 00:29:14,710
-[small bell dings]
-A winter squash.
684
00:29:14,754 --> 00:29:16,420
Then I added seaweed snacks
685
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:17,980
Beautiful.
686
00:29:17,982 --> 00:29:20,132
And the chili crisp.
Putting it into the blender
687
00:29:20,134 --> 00:29:22,801
Try to get this
as velvety-smooth as I can.
688
00:29:23,471 --> 00:29:25,429
Super-stoked about this.
689
00:29:25,431 --> 00:29:29,433
I just hope everyone else
love baby food and nori
in sauce as much as I do.
690
00:29:30,311 --> 00:29:31,810
Okay, I'm gonna do
some little refreshing.
691
00:29:31,812 --> 00:29:34,062
Gonna make
a watermelon gazpacho
692
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:36,422
with scallops and shrimp.
693
00:29:36,424 --> 00:29:38,650
So first thing I'm gonna do
is figure out what to do
with these gummy frogs.
694
00:29:38,652 --> 00:29:40,852
They're all stuck together.
695
00:29:40,854 --> 00:29:43,322
So I decide that
I'm gonna melt them down wit
some red wine and vinegar,
696
00:29:43,398 --> 00:29:45,365
and make my own
sweet and sour agrodolce.
697
00:29:45,367 --> 00:29:47,326
So the gummy frogs
are melting down.
698
00:29:47,402 --> 00:29:49,411
Now it's time to start working
on my gazpacho.
699
00:29:49,413 --> 00:29:50,621
I grab the watermelon.
700
00:29:51,999 --> 00:29:53,582
Bring a little heat
to the party,
701
00:29:53,584 --> 00:29:54,699
some Fresno pepper.
702
00:29:54,776 --> 00:29:56,543
We bring some more
balanced-out flavors
703
00:29:56,545 --> 00:30:00,255
with some baby Persian
cucumbers, with some
red onion,
704
00:30:00,257 --> 00:30:03,425
and I season it with that
gummy-frog agrodolce.
705
00:30:05,971 --> 00:30:07,471
It's not bad. I'm missing out.
706
00:30:07,473 --> 00:30:09,723
We decided the best way
to utilize that baby food
707
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,309
is to add some body
to the gazpacho
708
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:13,811
and some seaweed snacks.
709
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:22,945
So I got the panko,
710
00:30:22,947 --> 00:30:24,905
seaweed snacks
and the baby food.
711
00:30:24,907 --> 00:30:29,117
This is going to be my dredge.
712
00:30:29,161 --> 00:30:32,120
Mix the lobster into the dry,
713
00:30:32,122 --> 00:30:34,665
and the egg wash as ponzu.
714
00:30:34,741 --> 00:30:36,625
Seaweed snacks,
715
00:30:36,627 --> 00:30:38,168
the baby food.
716
00:30:38,170 --> 00:30:39,837
Here we go.
717
00:30:39,839 --> 00:30:42,256
Fifteen minutes. We're at
the halfway point, guys.
718
00:30:42,332 --> 00:30:43,757
[Raymond] All right.
719
00:30:43,759 --> 00:30:45,884
Now that the shrimp are done
720
00:30:45,886 --> 00:30:49,012
next up is
these horrendous gummy frogs
721
00:30:49,014 --> 00:30:50,305
How am I gonna do
the gummies?
722
00:30:50,349 --> 00:30:51,573
That's what I'm trying
to figure out.
723
00:30:51,575 --> 00:30:53,075
[Troy] We are halfway through
this cook,
724
00:30:53,077 --> 00:30:54,893
and Raymond
still has no plan
for those gummy frogs.
725
00:30:55,771 --> 00:30:56,895
Oh, man.
726
00:30:56,972 --> 00:30:58,597
Oh, man!
727
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:00,357
-They're, like, so bad.
-Just serve them
on the side, chef.
728
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:01,900
-I can't do that.
-I would eat them
on the side.
729
00:31:01,902 --> 00:31:03,861
I can't do that, that's not
a $20,000 dish.
730
00:31:05,906 --> 00:31:07,948
So, I started melting
my gummies down.
731
00:31:07,950 --> 00:31:09,825
Oh, this is weird.
732
00:31:09,869 --> 00:31:11,243
I'm adding this baby food,
733
00:31:11,245 --> 00:31:13,787
which is gross in itself.
734
00:31:13,864 --> 00:31:15,539
I need to figure out
how to cook the sweetness,
735
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:17,124
'cause this is too damn swee
736
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,293
And then a light bulb
went off.
737
00:31:19,295 --> 00:31:21,044
What could balance out
sweetness? A little bit
of heat.
738
00:31:21,046 --> 00:31:22,621
Let's do this.
739
00:31:22,697 --> 00:31:24,840
All right, so I got
something to cook
that sauce with.
740
00:31:24,842 --> 00:31:26,258
Green curry paste.
741
00:31:26,260 --> 00:31:28,093
So I'm gonna try
to spice it up with this.
742
00:31:29,847 --> 00:31:33,599
Ooh, that's spicy.
That's good. That's good.
743
00:31:33,675 --> 00:31:36,560
Extra butter, just for me,
just to kinda make it
a little glazy.
744
00:31:36,562 --> 00:31:38,937
I'm gonna start working
on that stir-fry rice.
745
00:31:38,939 --> 00:31:41,940
I used gochujang for my rice
746
00:31:43,152 --> 00:31:45,819
and browned that bad boy up.
Rice, rice, baby.
747
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:47,553
Ten minutes left,
748
00:31:47,555 --> 00:31:52,034
and Alex has not put
his short ribs
on any heat source yet.
749
00:31:52,036 --> 00:31:55,245
I applaud him
for taking the time
to marinate them,
750
00:31:55,322 --> 00:31:56,663
because that's actually
what's gonna make it
quick-cook
751
00:31:56,665 --> 00:31:58,564
on the short rib tender,
752
00:31:58,566 --> 00:32:02,169
but I don't know, I feel like
he's cutting it really close
with time.
753
00:32:02,171 --> 00:32:04,504
[Alex] Oh, those are looking
so good.
754
00:32:04,581 --> 00:32:05,631
I'm in Flavortown right now.
755
00:32:05,633 --> 00:32:07,907
Perfect.
756
00:32:07,909 --> 00:32:11,845
Winning Guy's Grocery Games
and being a superfan
would just be impeccable.
757
00:32:11,847 --> 00:32:15,140
My kids, since we watch
the show so often,
758
00:32:15,217 --> 00:32:18,602
to see their dad win this
would be absolutely amazing.
759
00:32:18,679 --> 00:32:20,562
We're winning this thing.
760
00:32:22,358 --> 00:32:24,566
I'm worried that the judges
will think it's a copout
761
00:32:24,568 --> 00:32:26,501
if I just melt
those gummy frogs,
762
00:32:26,503 --> 00:32:27,861
so what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna take some
of the extra agrodolce
763
00:32:27,938 --> 00:32:29,270
from the red wine vinegar
and the gummy frogs
764
00:32:29,272 --> 00:32:31,657
and use them as candy
in my Fresno peppers.
765
00:32:31,659 --> 00:32:33,341
I want them to bring
a little bit of heat,
766
00:32:33,343 --> 00:32:35,869
a little bit of contrast,
to the dish, to make it pop
767
00:32:35,871 --> 00:32:37,412
Sweet pickled Fresno peppers.
768
00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:39,122
[indistinct whispering]
769
00:32:39,124 --> 00:32:41,241
Now it's time to work
on my spicy shrimp.
770
00:32:41,276 --> 00:32:45,128
I make
a quick, flavorful marinade
out of gochujang, some citru
771
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:47,965
So I get the shrimp
on the grill.
772
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:50,175
They're looking great,
they're getting a nice char
a nice texture.
773
00:32:50,252 --> 00:32:51,693
Now it's time to move
with the scallops.
774
00:32:51,695 --> 00:32:53,470
A little different technique
for searing scallops.
775
00:32:53,505 --> 00:32:56,348
Start 'em out dry
and then add the oil.
776
00:32:56,425 --> 00:32:58,433
I usually sear my scallops
a little differently
than most.
777
00:32:58,435 --> 00:33:02,229
I actually add 'em
to a screaming hot, dry pan
with no oil,
778
00:33:02,231 --> 00:33:03,555
and then add the oil after.
779
00:33:03,557 --> 00:33:05,899
It gives a lot
of great surface contact,
780
00:33:05,901 --> 00:33:07,859
and you get a really nice se
on your scallops.
781
00:33:09,947 --> 00:33:11,655
[Hunter] Hey, Dad,
how's it going?
782
00:33:13,033 --> 00:33:15,367
That looks delicious.
Can I have some?
783
00:33:15,369 --> 00:33:20,539
So, we have lobster
that I marinated
in the ponzu sauce.
784
00:33:20,615 --> 00:33:22,708
-Gummy frogs
are in the sauce.
-Uh-huh.
785
00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:24,376
[Hunter] That looks delicious.
Oh, my gosh.
786
00:33:24,378 --> 00:33:26,878
[Guy] The Fresnos.
787
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,130
-[Hunter] Scallions.
-[Guy] The scallion.
788
00:33:29,633 --> 00:33:30,749
Here you go.
789
00:33:30,751 --> 00:33:32,968
-Ooh. [gasps]
-[indistinct chatter]
790
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:34,261
[Brooke] Did you make
those crunchy noodles?
791
00:33:34,337 --> 00:33:35,303
What a treat.
792
00:33:35,305 --> 00:33:37,347
[Brooke] This looks delish.
793
00:33:37,424 --> 00:33:40,976
[Guy] I just wanted enough
breading on there to capture
the gummy turtle sauce.
794
00:33:40,978 --> 00:33:42,477
Mmm. That is so good.
795
00:33:42,479 --> 00:33:44,938
-Those are frogs, you know?
-Gummy frogs!
796
00:33:45,015 --> 00:33:46,773
You know what?
And I could've used turtles,
797
00:33:46,775 --> 00:33:48,275
and that would've thrown
the whole recipe off.
798
00:33:48,277 --> 00:33:49,526
I love these noodles.
799
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:50,819
[Guy] Three minutes!
800
00:33:50,821 --> 00:33:53,363
Ooh, jeepers.
801
00:33:53,365 --> 00:33:56,908
The first thing I put down
is my winter-squash,
baby-food puree.
802
00:33:57,661 --> 00:34:00,454
Next, the stir-fry rice.
803
00:34:00,456 --> 00:34:04,499
Then I topped it
with the gummy-frog,
chili-marinated short rib.
804
00:34:04,877 --> 00:34:06,209
Oh, yeah.
805
00:34:06,211 --> 00:34:07,619
How you guys doing?
806
00:34:07,621 --> 00:34:11,048
So I have this
sweet and spicy gummy sauce
807
00:34:11,050 --> 00:34:16,595
and then I'm putting
my cheese puff-incrustated
seaweed salad shrimp
808
00:34:16,597 --> 00:34:19,514
with my cilantro
and onion slaw.
809
00:34:19,549 --> 00:34:21,449
[Guy] Thirty seconds.
810
00:34:21,451 --> 00:34:22,893
[Rick] Doing all right.
My shrimp are looking
beautiful,
811
00:34:22,895 --> 00:34:24,135
scallops are in the pan,
812
00:34:24,212 --> 00:34:25,762
it's time to pull it
all together.
813
00:34:25,764 --> 00:34:27,898
First, I get some
watermelon steaks
on the plate.
814
00:34:27,974 --> 00:34:30,859
Then I strain out my gazpach
and pour it all around
the steak,
815
00:34:30,903 --> 00:34:33,779
add my cucumber-and-kumquat
salad for texture.
816
00:34:33,781 --> 00:34:36,907
I finish the garnish
with some pickled,
candied Fresnos.
817
00:34:36,909 --> 00:34:39,409
I plate those perfect charre
blistered shrimp.
818
00:34:40,537 --> 00:34:42,788
[Guy] Ten seconds.
819
00:34:42,864 --> 00:34:44,289
[Rick] I check out
my scallops in the pan.
820
00:34:44,366 --> 00:34:45,332
I don't know what's happened
821
00:34:45,334 --> 00:34:47,125
but it's sticking to the pan
822
00:34:48,170 --> 00:34:50,337
I've got seconds left,
I'm running out of time.
823
00:34:50,339 --> 00:34:52,255
I barehand 'em
right out of the pan.
824
00:34:52,257 --> 00:34:53,298
[Guy] Five,
825
00:34:53,300 --> 00:34:54,424
four,
826
00:34:54,426 --> 00:34:57,427
three, two, one.
827
00:34:57,429 --> 00:34:59,888
-That's it, chefs,
stop working.
-Good job, chefs.
828
00:34:59,890 --> 00:35:01,681
-Good job, chefs.
-Nicely done.
829
00:35:01,758 --> 00:35:03,517
-All right.
-[exhales heavily]
830
00:35:03,519 --> 00:35:06,311
Not so happy
with those scallops.
831
00:35:14,071 --> 00:35:15,112
All right, judges,
here it is.
832
00:35:15,114 --> 00:35:16,363
Gummy frogs,
833
00:35:16,439 --> 00:35:17,948
seaweed snacks
834
00:35:17,950 --> 00:35:19,491
and baby food.
835
00:35:19,493 --> 00:35:20,617
Up first, Chef Alex.
836
00:35:20,619 --> 00:35:22,327
All right, perfect.
In front of you
837
00:35:22,329 --> 00:35:26,498
is a flanken short rib
with gummy-frog sauce,
838
00:35:26,575 --> 00:35:30,043
the winter squash
and nori puree,
839
00:35:30,045 --> 00:35:31,753
with a little stir-fry rice
840
00:35:33,257 --> 00:35:35,257
Why did you pick short ribs?
841
00:35:35,259 --> 00:35:38,009
I mean, you have 30 minutes
in a competition.
842
00:35:38,011 --> 00:35:41,263
You're a superfan,
you know how this goes.
843
00:35:41,265 --> 00:35:43,181
If you're gonna make
that call, be you,
844
00:35:43,183 --> 00:35:44,199
because these are delicious.
845
00:35:44,201 --> 00:35:46,810
-Thank you.
-Nice work, man.
846
00:35:46,812 --> 00:35:49,855
Going the Korean
flavor profile
was the right way to go.
847
00:35:49,857 --> 00:35:52,399
You have an okay sear
on the Korean short rib.
848
00:35:52,475 --> 00:35:55,861
I think you nailed
the Flavortown of your dish.
849
00:35:55,937 --> 00:35:59,614
You've got so much flavor
packed into those
little short ribs.
850
00:35:59,616 --> 00:36:01,399
The pilaf is tasty.
851
00:36:01,401 --> 00:36:03,493
The thing that I'm struggling
with on this plate
is your baby food,
852
00:36:03,495 --> 00:36:08,290
because your baby food
looks, feels and tastes
like baby food.
853
00:36:08,292 --> 00:36:10,041
Mmm-hmm. Thank you.
854
00:36:10,043 --> 00:36:11,418
All right.
Up next, Chef Rick.
855
00:36:11,420 --> 00:36:13,061
What do you have for us, bud?
856
00:36:13,063 --> 00:36:16,506
Hi, judges. So, I chose to go
with a watermelon gazpacho.
857
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:19,426
We incorporated
all three mystery ingredient
into the gazpacho itself.
858
00:36:19,428 --> 00:36:22,929
We also used the gummy frogs
to make an agrodolce,
859
00:36:22,931 --> 00:36:24,556
and we pulled that
all together
860
00:36:24,558 --> 00:36:27,601
with some gochujang-marinated
shrimp and scallop.
861
00:36:28,312 --> 00:36:31,605
Chef Rick, this gazpacho
is refreshing.
862
00:36:31,681 --> 00:36:33,857
The char on the shrimp
is absolutely beautiful.
863
00:36:33,859 --> 00:36:35,317
[Troy] You know Flavortown?
864
00:36:35,319 --> 00:36:37,235
It really does embody
something innovative,
865
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:40,113
something, you know,
that you would not expect
at all.
866
00:36:40,190 --> 00:36:43,533
You did a great job
tucking that baby food
in there.
867
00:36:43,610 --> 00:36:45,076
[Marcel] Really pretty dish.
868
00:36:45,078 --> 00:36:46,686
I don't think you needed
the scallop.
869
00:36:46,688 --> 00:36:48,830
You don't have the right sear
on it, it's a competition...
870
00:36:48,832 --> 00:36:50,790
Nix it, 86 it all the way.
871
00:36:50,792 --> 00:36:52,417
Awesome. Thank you.
872
00:36:52,419 --> 00:36:54,160
Chef Raymond, what do you have
for us, bud?
873
00:36:54,237 --> 00:36:56,087
Tried to think
a little bit outside the box
with this dish.
874
00:36:56,089 --> 00:37:00,800
I did a beer-battered,
panko-crusted, baby-food
shrimp,
875
00:37:00,877 --> 00:37:04,429
with a gummy, baby-food
squash puree.
876
00:37:05,682 --> 00:37:07,641
Where did you put
your baby food in this?
Did you put it in the sauce?
877
00:37:07,643 --> 00:37:11,353
I put it with the sauce,
with the gummies
and the green Thai curry.
878
00:37:11,355 --> 00:37:12,562
[Troy] That made that sauce
879
00:37:12,564 --> 00:37:13,939
It really added a complexity.
880
00:37:13,941 --> 00:37:17,234
It's probably
the smartest dish of the day.
881
00:37:17,310 --> 00:37:18,985
Those gummy frogs
are not hidden,
882
00:37:18,987 --> 00:37:20,987
for an ingredient
that you were
uncomfortable with.
883
00:37:20,989 --> 00:37:22,072
They're front and center.
884
00:37:22,148 --> 00:37:24,315
-I taste gummy frog...
-I'm so sorry.
885
00:37:24,317 --> 00:37:27,327
...but I'm not mad about it,
because that green curry
balanced the gummy frogs out.
886
00:37:27,329 --> 00:37:30,247
The seaweed snacks
feel appropriate.
887
00:37:30,282 --> 00:37:32,307
[Marcel] You didn't just go
for the regular baby food,
888
00:37:32,309 --> 00:37:34,459
you went for the baby snack
and used it
as a texture element,
889
00:37:34,461 --> 00:37:37,420
and those shrimp were
really, really crispy,
890
00:37:37,422 --> 00:37:41,675
but because you put that
hot sauce right out
of the pan, that wilted,
891
00:37:41,677 --> 00:37:43,843
so when you pick it up,
it just kinda breaks down.
892
00:37:45,472 --> 00:37:47,180
Chefs, I'll tell you what.
893
00:37:47,182 --> 00:37:50,100
Not an easy challenge.
I think you all
did a great job.
894
00:37:50,102 --> 00:37:52,010
We're gonna send you back
to the kitchens,
895
00:37:52,012 --> 00:37:53,853
and we will call you back
when we have a decision.
Thank you very much.
896
00:37:55,983 --> 00:38:00,402
So which two superfans
are you sending home
empty-handed?
897
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:06,992
Yep, you get to tell your kids
about it one day,
898
00:38:07,110 --> 00:38:08,994
that you cooked
with the gummy frog
899
00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:10,745
and some seaweed snacks
and some baby food.
900
00:38:10,747 --> 00:38:12,196
[all laughing]
901
00:38:12,273 --> 00:38:14,582
[Guy]
Let's jump right into this.
Alex, at 32,
902
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:15,959
needing some love.
903
00:38:16,503 --> 00:38:18,378
16 out of 20 in Gameplay.
904
00:38:18,455 --> 00:38:20,422
16 out of 20 in Taste.
905
00:38:20,424 --> 00:38:23,466
7 out of 10 in Plating,
for a 39
906
00:38:23,468 --> 00:38:25,468
and a total of 71.
907
00:38:25,470 --> 00:38:26,928
Good score.
908
00:38:26,972 --> 00:38:28,305
Rick.
909
00:38:28,765 --> 00:38:30,765
16 in Gameplay,
910
00:38:30,767 --> 00:38:32,809
17 in Taste. Nice.
911
00:38:32,811 --> 00:38:35,812
9 in Plating, for a 42.
912
00:38:35,889 --> 00:38:39,482
Congratulations all the way
to an 81. Ray.
913
00:38:39,559 --> 00:38:41,651
-All right.
-All right, buddy.
914
00:38:42,321 --> 00:38:44,821
18 in Gameplay.
915
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:48,033
18 in Taste.
916
00:38:48,035 --> 00:38:51,328
7 in Plating, for a 43,
917
00:38:51,404 --> 00:38:53,413
and there you go, with a 76.
918
00:38:53,415 --> 00:38:55,290
-Congratulations to Chef Rick.
-[applause]
919
00:38:55,334 --> 00:38:57,000
Nicely done.
920
00:38:57,002 --> 00:38:58,710
Alex, Ray,
I gotta tell you something.
921
00:38:58,712 --> 00:39:00,337
Love the way you cook.
922
00:39:00,372 --> 00:39:01,729
I'm sorry it didn't work out
for you,
923
00:39:01,731 --> 00:39:03,256
but it sure was
a pleasure to get to meet you,
924
00:39:03,333 --> 00:39:05,759
and we always appreciate
the fans of Triple G,
925
00:39:05,835 --> 00:39:07,010
so gentlemen,
thank you very much.
926
00:39:07,087 --> 00:39:08,845
[Alex] I love
Guy's Grocery Games.
927
00:39:08,847 --> 00:39:11,514
It was amazing to get
the opportunity to meet Guy
928
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:13,141
and to showcase who I am.
929
00:39:13,143 --> 00:39:15,060
Guy, I love you,
930
00:39:15,136 --> 00:39:16,978
but you're just
too mischievous, even for me
931
00:39:16,980 --> 00:39:18,730
With a score of 81,
932
00:39:18,732 --> 00:39:20,231
our winner, Chef Rick!
933
00:39:21,151 --> 00:39:22,317
-Well done, my friend.
-[applause]
934
00:39:22,319 --> 00:39:23,401
And it's time to go shopping.
935
00:39:23,403 --> 00:39:25,103
Come over and say hi
to the judges.
936
00:39:27,407 --> 00:39:30,200
So, we have a couple of ways
that you can win
up to $20,000,
937
00:39:30,202 --> 00:39:32,327
and the first one we call
The Aisle Spree,
938
00:39:32,371 --> 00:39:34,662
and you're going to find
ten random items
939
00:39:34,664 --> 00:39:36,915
in each aisle of the store,
okay?
940
00:39:36,991 --> 00:39:38,583
Every item that you find,
941
00:39:38,585 --> 00:39:40,835
you put in the cart,
you're gonna get $2,000, okay?
942
00:39:40,837 --> 00:39:42,937
Or you can skip the Spree
943
00:39:42,939 --> 00:39:46,800
and take the mystery cheque,
which is right behind
those doors, right there,
944
00:39:46,802 --> 00:39:52,138
and that cheque could have
anywhere between $8,000
945
00:39:52,391 --> 00:39:54,891
and $20,000 on.
946
00:39:54,893 --> 00:39:56,726
-Your name's already on it.
-[chuckles]
947
00:39:57,354 --> 00:39:58,812
Don't take the cheque.
948
00:39:59,314 --> 00:40:00,313
Don't take the cheque?
949
00:40:00,390 --> 00:40:01,564
[indistinct chatter]
950
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:02,482
Let's give the people a show.
951
00:40:02,484 --> 00:40:05,110
-There we go!
-Yeah!
952
00:40:05,186 --> 00:40:06,945
-So you wanna go
for the shopping spree?
-Let's do it.
953
00:40:06,947 --> 00:40:08,530
We got this, we got this.
954
00:40:08,532 --> 00:40:10,990
-Come on over.
-Oh, here you go!
955
00:40:11,067 --> 00:40:13,326
Come on over!
956
00:40:13,403 --> 00:40:15,286
This is gonna be lots of fun.
957
00:40:15,363 --> 00:40:18,331
Let's take a look right now
at the cheque
that you passed up on.
958
00:40:20,001 --> 00:40:24,963
-$18,000!
-I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
959
00:40:25,039 --> 00:40:27,382
[Guy] You have to
collect every single item
on this list
960
00:40:27,384 --> 00:40:29,509
to beat what that cheque
had for you.
961
00:40:29,586 --> 00:40:31,261
-[Brooke] You're good.
We're gonna do $20,000.
-Eighteen grand.
962
00:40:31,263 --> 00:40:33,805
-So I'm gonna leave a copy
of this right here for you.
-Okay.
963
00:40:33,807 --> 00:40:36,224
Here we go, Chef, two minutes
on the clock.
964
00:40:36,268 --> 00:40:37,767
Go when you're ready.
965
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:40,228
Aisle one, honey crisp apples.
966
00:40:43,024 --> 00:40:44,666
Good.
967
00:40:44,668 --> 00:40:47,652
Aisle two.
Guy's barbecue sausage
has Guy's face on it.
968
00:40:47,729 --> 00:40:48,895
This is awesome.
969
00:40:48,971 --> 00:40:50,655
I'm gonna make the judges
run with them.
970
00:40:50,657 --> 00:40:52,615
I don't have
to do this anymore.
971
00:40:52,617 --> 00:40:55,243
Aisle three. Santo tequila,
Santo tequila.
972
00:40:55,245 --> 00:40:56,602
Best day ever.
973
00:40:57,289 --> 00:40:59,747
Aisle three B, we're going
to Guy's tomato sauce.
974
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:01,541
Let's go, Rick, let's go!
975
00:41:02,711 --> 00:41:05,378
[Brooke] All right.
Aisle five B.
Guy's baseball cap.
976
00:41:05,380 --> 00:41:06,588
[Guy] That's it.
977
00:41:06,590 --> 00:41:08,298
[Brooke] Aisle four A.
978
00:41:08,717 --> 00:41:10,550
Szechuan peppercorns.
979
00:41:11,428 --> 00:41:14,220
All right. Aisle six,
beef jerky.
980
00:41:14,639 --> 00:41:16,214
[Rick] With this money,
981
00:41:16,216 --> 00:41:18,850
I'm gonna start something out
for my son, a college fund.
982
00:41:18,852 --> 00:41:21,978
I'm gonna probably
help my wife out
with a new car.
983
00:41:22,055 --> 00:41:23,438
We're gonna put this money
to good use.
984
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,481
[Brooke] We're going
to pretzels.
985
00:41:24,557 --> 00:41:25,690
Seven B, pretzels.
986
00:41:25,767 --> 00:41:27,400
-30 seconds, buddy, let's go.
