Plot Synopsis

Guy Fieri is celebrating summer with a splash! He invites eight GGG winners back for a five-week tournament featuring cool new games, bold summer flavors and some killer grillin'.

Round 1 (Wednesday, July 6, 2022): In round one, the chefs prepare a signature summer dish with only the ingredients they can fit in a beach bag! The best dish earns an instant $5,000, but the bottom two chefs go head-to-head to make the grilled chicken dinner of their lives. One chef will be eliminated, and the remaining chefs will stay in the running to become the ultimate summer champ and win $25,000!

Round 2 (Wednesday, July 13, 2022): It's time for a beach bash as Guy Fieri challenges the seven remaining summer tournament chefs to make seafood sandwiches featuring mystery ingredients they find in cans buried in the sand. The top-ranked sandwich wins an instant $5,000, and the bottom two chefs battle to see whose smoothie-inspired dish will save them from elimination. One competitor's summer plans end early, while the remaining chefs continue their run at becoming the summer champ and winning $25,000!

Round 3 (Wednesday, July 20, 2022): It's fun in the park for the six remaining summer tournament chefs! Guy Fieri asks the chefs to partner up and create team picnic plates, with each teammate first shopping a different half of the store using picnic baskets. The top-ranked team splits $5,000, but the members of the bottom team must go head-to-head in a bodacious burger battle, featuring pickled ingredients they score in a GGG version of pickle ball. One chef will be eliminated, and the remaining chefs will stay in the running to become the summer champ and win $25,000!

Round 4 (Wednesday, July 27, 2022): Guy Fieri invites the five remaining chefs on a summer getaway as they use flavors from around the world courtesy of international sample tables to make the best grilled meat dish for a $5,000 prize. In round two, the bottom two chefs take a road trip to a family fun zone to play midway games that handicap their handheld dishes. One chef will be eliminated, and the remaining chefs will stay in the running to become the summer champ and win $25,000!

Finale (Wednesday, August 3, 2022): The final four chefs end the tournament with a nostalgic trip to summer camp. Guy Fieri asks the competitors to net the fish to use in their fish dinner, which must also incorporate the rice cereal they receive in a care package from home. Then, they show off their archery skills to pick a whammy for their grilled winner's feast. The winning champion earns a trophy, a donation in their name to No Kid Hungry and a shopping spree worth up to $25,000!
