GUY’S GROCERY GAMES, PITMASTERS & More Coming to Food Network in July

Several new and returning series are coming to Food Network this July, including Guy’s Grocery Games, Kitchen Chaos, Pitmasters, and more. The programming will last throughout the month, with several titles available to stream the next day on HBO Max.

On Wednesday, July 8 at 9 p.m. ET/PT host Guy Fieri invites eight all-star masters of world cuisines to compete in the new five-part tournament, Guy’s Grocery Games: Global Games, for a chance to win the trophy and a $50,000 grand prize. 

Premiering Wednesday, July 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, Kitchen Chaos will dive headfirst into the wild, unpredictable world of food with viral moments of culinary triumphs and spectacular meltdowns. Along the way, professional chefs deliver hilarious reactions, insider tips, and practical takeaways that reveal what went wrong, what went right, and how to avoid culinary chaos at home.

Next, Pitmasters, premiering Monday, July 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, is a real-world BBQ competition. The non-stop week-long battle is set deep in the wilderness, where teams of notable pitmasters will push the boundaries of BBQ, competing over live fire to prove they are the best of the best in an attempt to win their share of up to $50,000 in prize money. Teams must impress an elite panel of judges, with Andrew Zimmern, Jess Pryles, Moe Cason, and Ernest Servantes crowning one team the Pitmasters Champion. 

Restaurant Impossible: Last Call, premiering Thursday, July 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, will follow acclaimed chef Aarón Sánchez and Canadian restaurateur Jen Agg as they lead the way to help struggling restaurants across North America. They will dig into real problems, adapt to a new and challenging restaurant industry, and find creative, unexpected solutions tailored to each business.

The Great Food Truck Race will kick off a new season, premiering Sunday, July 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and this time around, it will be a battle of savory and sweet, with four trucks that specialize in savory dishes and four sweet-themed trucks. Host Tyler Florence will lead the route starting in Nashville and through the Great Smoky Mountains, stopping in cities with vibrant food scenes.

Every week, the teams must prove their cooking expertise, marketing savvy and selling skills in themed challenges to beat their rivals, and for the first time, the bottom two teams each week will go head to head in a taste redemption battle to see who earns the right to stay and who heads home. The season will culminate in an action-packed finale from the legendary Churchill Downs in Louisville, where only one truck will be awarded a life-changing $50,000 grand prize. 

Also premiering this summer is new series, Kitchen Undercover, a high-stakes, sneak-attack restaurant rescue, led by chef Antonia Lofaso, alongside sous-chef Nestor Milian who will go full undercover, slipping into failing restaurants that are one more bad review away from total collapse. While Antonia watches the drama unfold from a secret command center, Nestor will be on the inside with the staff. When the real reasons customers aren’t coming back are exposed, Antonia will storm in to shake things up, call out the chaos and whip these teams into shape.
