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.

Chefs who believe they should have won their GGG episode call out their market rivals for a single round, $10,000 showdown they hope will settle the score. First up, a Los Angeles "Seoul food" chef challenges the Vancouver opponent who beat her by one point to a guilty pleasure rematch. Before she can tip the scales of justice in her favor, both chefs must use the produce scales to weigh in no more than 8 pounds of ingredients. Then, five-time GGG winner Tracey Shepos Cenami calls out GGG judge Eric Greenspan, who defeated her in a cheesy battle. Justice isn't the only one that's blind as the blindfolded rivals grab clearance cart items to feature in their cheesy winner's dinner.
