Guy's Grocery Games

- Season 4

(2015)

Families compete to make the best breakfast, using only 5 lbs. of ingredients; and later, the letter R determines what kind of hot lunches are served to the judges. Finally, the Food Wheel game is played.

Siblings compete in challenges, beginning with "5 Ingredients or Less", during which they have to prepare a family feast. Later, they are given the task of making something stuffed, using Guy's unique grocery list.

Families compete in challenges. Included: the pasta shelves are off-limits when making noodle dishes; desserts are created using nonperishable items; and weight is a concern when preparing a favorite meal for the judges.

Guy is constantly turning the tables: with kids choosing meals, while chefs endure a "Time Out" from cooking. Four families face off in a brunch competition that includes a mandatory breakfast Red Light Special: raisins.

The first challenge is to make meatloaf without any of the usual ingredients; and later, the competitors are forced to use items from a sample table when preparing appetizers.

Ingredients must begin with the letter P in the first round; the chefs are told to make a winning chicken dinner with a grocery list that includes hot pepper paste and candy; and the final challenge combines grilling and canned goods.

Chefs must make their signature dishes, using less than 5 pounds of ingredients. Other challenges involve cooking jumbo butterfly shrimp and an upscale lunch made with something from every aisle.

A barbecue challenge is followed by a ham dinner, with an eclectic grocery list, for date night. Also: the winner is determined after the final two chefs shop from only one aisle for their dishes.

A Mediterranean feast is made, using the least likely ingredients from the store's middle aisles; the fixings for a salad and sandwich are collected without a shopping cart; and the chefs face unfavorable conditions, when preparing a family favorite.

Chefs from four distinct American regions vie for culinary supremacy in challenges. Included: a five-ingredient limit; seafood suppers made with frozen food; and one protein prepared two different ways.

Guy celebrates Valentine's Day by giving the chefs a gift of chocolate for their savory starters; time and money are concerns when it comes to creating desserts; a game of "Musical Carts" makes preparing a candlelight dinner rather tricky.

Ingredients need to start with the letter "M" in the first round. Other challenges include creating a grilled salad with only 6 pounds of food; and preparing a signature burger, made with one item from every aisle.

Hot sandwiches are prepared in the first round, using a mishmash of munchies from the market's sample tables. Later, the chefs only have five ingredients or less to work with, when creating an international dish.

Four James Beard-nominated chefs compete in challenges, which include making hors d'oeuvres out of instant ramen noodles and preparing a five-star seafood dinner on a ridiculously low budget.

Chefs, who have appeared on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (2006), compete in challenges.
