Guy's Grocery Games

- Season 9

(2016)

Extreme budget games are played, beginning with the challenge to make elevated sandwiches using only ingredients that cost less than $4. Round 2 involves a spin of the Food Wheel.

Bacon is featured in all three rounds. First, the chefs make lunch, using only ingredients that start with the letter "B". Later, an international dish must include a bizarre component; and finally, a dinner challenge gets interesting, with only three aisles to shop from and one minute on the clock.

Part 1 of 5. An Italian feast using nine items or less; making Philly cheesesteaks without standard ingredients.

Part 2 of 5. The Redemption Tournament continues. Included: the chefs have to turn ingredients for a German chocolate cake into a delicious dinner; and they have to make something cheesy, using only items with price tags that begin with the number three.

Part 3 of 5. The Redemption Tournament continues with four returning chefs having to use tofu and radishes in their chicken dinners. Other challenges include a soup and sandwich on an $11 budget; French onion dip and jack fruit as ingredients in a classic surf and turf.

Part 4 of 5. The penultimate round of the Redemption Tournament begins with a fried feast; and later, Italian and Korean favors are combined when making a beef dinner.

Conclusion. The Redemption Tournament ends with a dinner, featuring ingredients that tripped up the chefs during their first appearances on Guy's Grocery Games (2013). Other challenges include a grilled picnic and a signature dish, featuring high- and low-priced items.

An all-grilling edition begins with the chefs creating a dish with wasabi, chocolate and two buns. Later, a seafood feast is made with only six pounds of ingredients; and a dinner must include tofu and pineapple.

Winners from The Next Food Network Star (2005) compete. Included: they must create a delicious family dinner, using only ingredients that fit in a purse-size shopping bag. Also: a spicy pork seafood casserole is served to the judges in Round 2; and a game of Grocery Golf is played to determine what goes in a lamb dish.

Three rounds of Food Wheel games are played. First, the chefs shop with a budget of $9.04 for their pork dishes; and later, they prepare high-end lunches featuring the color yellow and wild boar sausage. Finally, wagyu rib eye and popcorn are mandatory ingredients in a spicy dinner.

Dads do battle. Their first challenge involves deciphering a grocery list, made up of emoji syllables. Later, a family favorite is prepared to impress the judges; and a game of Grocery Golf is played, prior to Sunday supper.

Pastry chefs take part in an all-dessert competition. Challenges include using beef jerky as an ingredient; birthday treats featuring vegetables; and chocolate items made with nine components or less.
