Ep 4. Food Network Star Duos

In the fourth episode of season 18 of Guy's Grocery Games, titled "Food Network Star Duos," eight former contestants from Food Network Star compete in teams of two to showcase their combined culinary skills and compete for a chance to win up to $20,000.

Host Guy Fieri welcomes the contestants to Flavortown Market, where they are given three rounds of culinary challenges that test their cooking abilities in different ways. In the first round, the duos must create a dish using a mystery liquid, which could be anything from a condiment to a beverage. The judges will be looking for creativity, originality, and the ability to incorporate the mystery liquid in a way that enhances the overall taste of the dish.

The second round is all about taking classic meat and potato dishes and transforming them into something unique and delicious. Each team will select a cut of meat and potatoes as the main ingredients for their dish and have limited time and access to ingredients. The judges will evaluate each team's ability to take a classic dish and elevate it with their own personal touch.

Finally, in the third and last round, the remaining teams must prepare a dish using only five ingredients, selected from the International Aisle of the store. The challenge will test the contestants' ability to take limited ingredients and create a flavorful and cohesive dish.

Throughout the episode, the contestants will face a variety of twists and turns that will test their ability to adapt and think on their feet. The winning team will earn the grand prize of $20,000, while the runner-up team receives a consolation prize of $5,000.

As always, Guy Fieri brings his iconic energy and infectious enthusiasm to each round, making for an entertaining and exciting show that is sure to leave viewers on the edge of their seats. With each team bringing their culinary A-game, tensions will run high as the contestants race against the clock to impress the judges and win the competition.
