The show starts with Guy describing his appreciation for our military heroes and their service to our country. He explains that the meal he is creating is designed to honor our troops and give them a taste of home.
The first dish Guy makes is a hearty Salisbury steak, served with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and seasoned green beans.

The green beans are seasoned to perfection, giving them a bit of a kick and a lot of flavor. Guy explains that this is the kind of meal that a soldier would appreciate after a long day out in the field.
Next, Guy prepares an Italian-inspired meal that is popular with soldiers stationed overseas. He makes a plate of chicken Parmigiana, served with a side of spaghetti and garlic bread. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the tomato sauce is rich and full of flavor. The spaghetti is cooked perfectly, and the garlic bread is toasted just right. Guy explains that this meal is a little slice of Italy that soldiers can enjoy, even while being so far away from home.
For his third dish, Guy turns up the heat with a spicy, south-of-the-border inspired meal. He makes a plate of chicken fajitas, served with all the fixings and a side of Spanish rice. The chicken is marinated in a spicy sauce, then grilled to perfection with peppers and onions. The rice has a rich, savory flavor, and the fixings include fresh salsa, sour cream, and guacamole. Guy explains that this meal is for soldiers who like a little spice in their lives, and who want to enjoy flavors that remind them of their time spent overseas.
Finally, Guy creates a dessert that is sure to please any soldier's sweet tooth. He makes a batch of apple turnovers, stuffed with a sweet and tangy apple filling. The turnovers are crispy on the outside, and soft and warm on the inside. Guy serves them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, which melts perfectly over the warm turnovers. He explains that this dessert is the perfect way to end a meal that is designed to honor our troops and their service to our country.
Throughout the show, Guy shares stories and experiences he has had with soldiers over the years, and invites a group of active-duty and retired military personnel to join him in his kitchen to enjoy the meal he has prepared.
