Deep dish versus thin crust. Hot dogs versus bagels. Chicago versus New York. The culinary rivalry between these two iconic cities is legendary, and this week’s Guy’s Grocery Games throws gasoline on the fire.
Two teams of chefs, one representing the Windy City and the other the Big Apple, square off in a high-stakes cook-off. With only an hour on the clock, they must prepare a regional feast worthy of the judges’ discerning palates.
The twist? A mandatory 2-for-1 ingredient challenge. Apples and beans must make an appearance in both the appetizer and the entrée. Creativity under pressure is the name of the game.
And for dessert? Another regional specialty, this time incorporating a canned item chosen via a baseball-themed pitching challenge. Because nothing says “culinary competition” like knocking over cans of peaches with a fastball.
With $15,000 and bragging rights on the line, the pressure is on. Can these chefs deliver world-class cuisine under such unusual circumstances?
Guy’s Grocery Games airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Food Network.
