Guy's Grocery Games Season 3 Episode 7 A Culinary Spelling Bee

In season 3, episode 7 of Guy's Grocery Games, titled "A Culinary Spelling Bee," contestants are put to the test in a unique culinary competition that combines their spelling skills with their cooking abilities. The episode starts with the four contestants going through a preliminary round where they are given a basket of ingredients and have to create a dish that spells out a specific word or phrase related to cooking. The contestants are judged on both their spelling and their creativity in using the ingredients provided.

Following the preliminary round, the three remaining contestants move on to the second round, where they have to create a dish using only ingredients from a specific aisle in the grocery store. The catch is that they have to spell out a word or phrase related to the aisle they are in while they cook. For instance, if they are in the dairy aisle, they may have to spell out the word "cheese" in their dish. They are given a limited time to complete their dishes, and the judges will be looking for both spelling accuracy and flavor.

The final round of the competition is a head-to-head showdown between the two remaining contestants. They have to create a dish using ingredients that are revealed to them piece by piece, with each new ingredient spelling out a letter in a mystery word. The first contestant to correctly guess the word wins the round and a spot in the bonus round. The losing contestant is eliminated from the competition.

The bonus round is a race against the clock, as the winner of the final round has to create a dish using ingredients from a shopping list that spells out a phrase related to cooking. They are given a limited amount of time to complete their dish, and the judges will be looking for both spelling accuracy and flavor. If they can successfully complete their dish and spell out the phrase, they win a cash prize and the title of champion.

Throughout the episode, host Guy Fieri keeps the energy high and provides color commentary on the contestants' progress. The judges, including Top Chef winner Richard Blais and Iron Chef champion Beau MacMillan, provide expert feedback on the dishes and determine who will move on to the next round. In the end, only one contestant will be named the champion of "A Culinary Spelling Bee," proving that spelling and cooking skills can go hand in hand.
