Guy Fieri sends the top 4 students to Flavortown Academy's junior course devoted to world cuisines. The students choose carts containing two ingredients from a unique international cuisine to make a comfort classic. The two students who score at the bottom face off in the Pass/Fail Round. The winning student moves on to finals week for a shot at winning the $35,000 Graduation Prize.

Over the years, Guy Fieri has hosted events in support of Best Buddies, the volunteer organization that promotes one-on-one friendships with folks that have intellectual and developmental disabilities. Now, he's teaming up some of his Best Buddies friends with some all-star chefs for a holiday cookoff in Flavortown Market. The teams have one hour to make a holiday entrée and dessert featuring ingredients chosen from Guy's holiday sample tables plus whatever other ingredient they can fit in their holiday stockings. The winners will earn $15,000 for their Best Buddies team member.
