For the main challenge, the kids will be asked to create the quintessential Southern BBQ dish. Seems easy enough, but the twist is each team member must choose one of four Southern ingredients to cook with. It’s a showdown of a whole new level when G. Garvin comes to the kitchen to judge the kids on their backyard BBQs and camera challenges!

In the main challenge, Rachael and Guy will reveal the ultimate seafood display: whole fish, octopus and crustaceans are on call as the kids are tasked to take on these oceanic delights in an effort to impress guest judge Melissa d’Arabian with not only their food, but their camera challenge. Who will rise to the top in this seafood challenge?

Premiering Sunday, September 21st at 8pm – “Food Fest Showdown” -SEASON FINALE!
In the finale, all the mentoring Rachael and Guy have done over the past five weeks is put to the test.

One-by-one they will take center stage and perform a live demo for the crowd that not only highlights their cuisine, but their culinary POV. The festival-goers will taste their food and watch their performances, but in the end it is celebrity chefs Curtis Stone and Brian Malarkey, along with Haylie Duff’s opinion that will matter most, as they name the winner and the recipient of their own series.
