Guy's Grocery Games is a reality competition show for the Food Network where contestants face cooking & real-life challenges in a supermarket.
Premise[]
Four chefs compete inside a supermarket trying to complete a series of challenges and only one of them will earn the right to go on a $uper $hopping $pree for up to $20,000 in cash.
Format[]
The episode starts with Guy introducing 4 chefs and telling them the rules of the game. They each get their carts. Guy pretends to forget to tell them about the challenge. They have time ranging from 20 minutes to 35 minutes (usually 30 minutes) to shop, cook a dish and complete four platings (three for the judges and one "beauty plate") before time runs out. The judges are introduced by Guy during the first round. A montage of "Flavortown Market" is shown before the first judging. On some episodes, a culinary quiz occurs in which a chef can get an advantage in the next round. The winner gets to go on a $uper $hopping $pree where they get 10 items that are each worth $2,000 adding up to a grand total of $20,000.
