Guy's Grocery Games (often nicknamed Triple G) is a reality cooking show hosted by Guy Fieri on Food Network. It features four chefs competing in a grocery store and there are special twists and challenges. There are 3 rounds and one chef is eliminated after each round. The last person left can win up to $20,000 in a shopping spree.

Format

There are three rounds where the chefs have a specific amount of time to shop and cook a dish with one chef being eliminated after each round. There also can be a culinary quiz in which a chef can get an advantage in the next round. The winner then goes on a two minute shopping spree where they are given a list of ten items. Each item obtained is worth $2,000 for a maximum total of $20,000.

In "Holly, Jolly Meals", there was a special box in the shopping spree that was worth $5,000 increasing the max total to $25,000.

"Moms Know Best" is a special Mother's Day challenge where 4 moms competed and Guy's mom made an appearance.

"Grocery Grillin'" was a special episode (dubbed Guy's Grocery Grilling Games or Quadruple G) for Food Network's Grilling Week where the contestants had to make grilled dishes.
