Guy's Grocery Games Season 19 Episode 12 $12 Meal Showdown

Four talented chefs compete in an intense $12 Meal Showdown on Guy's Grocery Games season 19 episode 12. Each chef is given $12 to shop for ingredients and only 15 minutes to complete their shopping challenge. The chef who successfully shops for all the ingredients on their list and remains closest to $12 wins the advantage of choosing their protein in the main dish challenge.

In the main challenge, the chefs must create a restaurant-quality dish using their protein of choice. However, there is a catch - they must use every ingredient they purchased in their shopping challenge, and nothing more. The chefs must get creative and use their culinary skills to make their dish stand out among the competition.

As the clock ticks down, the chefs race to finish plating their dishes and present them to the judges. Each chef is judged on their dish's taste, creativity, and presentation, with the lowest-scoring chef being sent to the final elimination round.

In the final round, the remaining chefs must create a dish using only five ingredients - an unusual protein, a starchy side, a leafy green, a citrus fruit, and an unexpected item chosen by a randomizer. The chefs must use their knowledge of flavor pairings to create a delicious and unique dish while also working within the limitations of the five chosen ingredients.

Guy Fieri hosts the $12 Meal Showdown with his signature style and enthusiasm, guiding the chefs through each challenge and offering words of encouragement and advice. In the end, only one chef will emerge victorious as the winner of the $12 Meal Showdown, with bragging rights and a cash prize on the line.

Tune in to Guy's Grocery Games season 19 episode 12 to see which chef can stretch $12 the furthest and create the most delicious meal under pressure.
