Guy Fieri tests the limits of four chefs by allowing them to shop only in the middle aisles of the store. That means no fresh produce, no fresh meat and no fresh dairy. First, Guy asks the chefs to make a breakfast without fresh eggs. Then, he asks for a hot lunch, but the chefs have to guess the price of a fresh protein in order to get it. Finally, the chefs have to make a family dinner incorporating ingredients from Guy's imperfect produce section. Only one chef will rise from the middle and come out on top for a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.

Four chefs representing cuisines from around the world take on Guy Fieri's global-themed games. First, the chefs make their childhood favorite featuring a handpicked ingredient from Guy. Then, they have to make their best rice dish while shopping with a tiny bag. Finally, the remaining two chefs must fuse their native cuisine with their opponent's for a shot at a shopping spree worth up to $20,000.
