Episodes
The Prospects
On Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri travels around the world eating the best food out there. Now he brings together the top finalists or "prospects," to see who has the best concept to host the next big food-road show on Food Network. For their first exercise, Guy along with Alex Guarnaschelli and Mark Dissin road test their ideas and ask the prospects to make a pitch tape explaining who they are and what their show is. When they return, they put them in the kitchen to see who can back up their show idea with the necessary cooking chops. One prospect will be sent home.
The Bite
Any great Food Network host has to be able to take a bite of the featured dish and tell the audience exactly what it tastes like. This week, the remaining prospects arrive in Los Angeles, where Guy, Alex Guarnaschelli and Mark Dissin,test them on their ability to take "the bite" of food for cameras, and describe what they are eating. Guy sends the prospects to pick a dish that they would feature on their show and describe it to camera. But it's much harder than it looks on TV, and not everyone will make it through this week.
The Intro
This week Guy Fieri brings the remaining prospects into his world on the set of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives to see how he shoots the intro to hook the viewer. Then, Guy, Alex Guarnaschelli and Mark Dissin send each prospect out to shoot an intro for a restaurant that they would feature on their show. Not everyone will excel, and one prospect will be sent packing.
Chef Interview
The host of any great food show has to be able to interview the featured chef while highlighting the food. To put the prospects' interview skills to the test, Guy Fieri, Alex Guarnaschelli and Mark Dissin bring the remaining prospects to the city where Guy got his start. He will put them through a hilarious but educational exercise where they will be challenged on interviewing different types of chefs. Not everyone will shine, and one prospect will not make it to the next week.
The Sizzle
Guy Fieri sends the remaining prospects to New York City where they will have one last chance to hone their show into a sizzle, a pitch tape that explains a show's concept, before the big pitch to Food Network. Their sizzles will be screened by Guy's closest Food Network friends: Scott Conant, Mark Dissin, Amanda Freitag, Alex Guarnaschelli, Marc Murphy, Justin Warner, and Geoffrey Zakarian.
The Pilots
In this final episode, Guy Fieri will shoot their pilots putting all the skills he's taught them to the test. He will then send the pilots to Food Network. The prospects go home and wait to hear the news. Who will land his or her own food-road show on the Food Network?
