Guy Fieri divides six acclaimed chefs into teams of three to compete in a game day food battle fought relay-style in 10-minute shifts. The first chefs shop for a game day feast whose components satisfy three descriptive words selected in a game day draft pick. After each shift, the chefs enter a giant "ice box" that prevents them from talking to teammates, but Guy gives each chef a chance to communicate non-verbally by holding up big letters and acting out charades. Ultimately, the team that creates the best and most accurate game day plate will go on a relay shopping spree worth up to $15,000!

Guy Fieri brings in two pairs of hot shot chefs from Chicago and New York who have one non-stop hour to prepare a regional feast that proves their city's food is truly world-class. In honor of "The Big Apple" and Chicago's "The Bean" sculpture, each team must select a unique 2-for-1 apple and bean food duo to feature in their appetizer and entrée. The teams are told mid-cook that they must also prepare a regional dessert featuring a canned item they knock down with a pitch worthy of their legendary baseball teams. The team with the highest combined score wins $15,000 and big city bragging rights.
