In "The Boys Are Back," the nineteenth episode of the sixth season of Beat Bobby Flay, two male chefs who previously lost to Bobby Flay return for a chance at redemption. The first competitor is Chef Jonas, who lost to Flay in a seafood challenge in season four. Jonas is a chef and restaurateur from Queens, New York, who specializes in Cajun and Creole cuisine. He is confident that he can beat Flay this time by using his signature spice blend, which he claims will elevate his dish above Flay's. Jonas' opponent is Chef Justin, who lost to Flay in a pork chop battle in season five. Justin is a chef and pitmaster from Dallas, Texas, who specializes in Southern-style barbecue. He is determined to beat Flay by showcasing his skills on the grill and using his homemade barbecue sauce.

In the first round, Jonas and Justin must face off against each other in a twenty-minute cook-off. The secret ingredient is revealed to be smoked turkey legs, which both chefs must use as the primary protein in their dish. Jonas decides to make a smoked turkey gumbo, while Justin chooses to make a smoked turkey BBQ sandwich with cole slaw. Both chefs work quickly and efficiently, but Jonas runs into trouble when his gumbo becomes too salty. Justin, on the other hand, is able to perfect his sauce and sandwich, and impresses the judges with his delicious flavor combinations.

In the second round, Jonas and Justin must battle against each other and Flay in a sixty-minute cook-off. The theme of the challenge is "New York versus the South," and each chef must use ingredients that represent their respective regions. Jonas chooses to make a spicy crawfish étouffée, while Justin opts for a grilled pork chop with sweet potato puree. Flay decides to make a classic New York dish: black and white spaghetti with clams and chili flakes. The competition is intense as all three chefs work tirelessly to create their dishes. Jonas struggles with his roux and his seasoning, while Justin excels on the grill and perfects his puree. Flay's pasta dish is a hit with the judges, but Jonas' gumbo falls short due to its salty flavor, leaving Justin as the victor.

In the final round, Justin must face off against Flay in a head-to-head battle. The secret ingredient is revealed to be lamb chops, which both chefs must use to create their signature dish. Justin decides to make a smoked lamb chop with cherry coulis, while Flay chooses to make a grilled lamb chop with rhubarb chutney. The competition is intense as both chefs work to impress the judges with their culinary skills. Justin's smoked lamb chop is praised for its tenderness and smokiness, while Flay's grilled lamb chop is admired for its char and flavor. Ultimately, the judges declare Justin as the winner, impressing him with his mastery of Southern-style barbecue and his ability to beat Bobby Flay.
