Ep 1. GGG List Games

In the season 18 premiere of Guy's Grocery Games, titled "GGG List Games," four competitors face off in a series of challenges centered around the letters G, G, and G.

Guy Fieri welcomes the chefs to the store and explains the rules of the game. In each round, the contestants must use ingredients that start with the letters G, G, and G in order to create dishes that impress the judges.

The first round is the "GGG Grilling Games," where the chefs must make a grilled dish using only ingredients that start with G. They have just 20 minutes to shop and cook, and the dishes are judged on taste, presentation, and creativity.

Next up is the "Gastro Pub GGG," where the chefs have to create a pub-style dish using the letter G. Guy challenges them to get creative with ingredients like gouda, goat cheese, and gingersnaps. The judges will be looking for dishes that embody the spirit of a classic gastro pub.

The third round is the "GGG Game Day Grub," where the chefs must create a game day dish using only ingredients that start with G. Guy reminds the contestants that this round is all about big flavors and bold choices.

Finally, the two remaining chefs face off in the "GGG Grab and Grill," where they must shop for their ingredients in a game of Guy's Grocery Games' iconic "Flavortown Shuffle." They then have just 30 minutes to grill up a dish that wows the judges.

Throughout the episode, the judges offer their insights on the contestants' dishes and provide feedback on what they liked (and didn't like). In the end, one chef is named the winner and takes home a cash prize.

"GGG List Games" is a fun and fast-paced episode that showcases the creativity and skill of the competitors. With the added challenge of using only ingredients that start with the letter G, the chefs are forced to think outside the box and come up with truly unique dishes. Fans of Guy's Grocery Games won't want to miss this exciting season opener.
