Each episode is supersized to one hour and the <em>Beat Bobby Flay<\/em> format is expanded to three rounds with a team element &#8211; and in Bobby&#8217;s biggest nightmare, only the toughest chefs are entering the kitchen to take him down. In the season premiere, Bobby welcomes his friend Scott Conant as guest host for a Thanksgiving battle between Tiffani Faison and Jet Tila, where the winner proceeds to round two and cooks against Anne Burrell. That winner then moves on to battle Bobby &#8211; but this time it&#8217;s a team effort, and Bobby and the winning contender each pick an eliminated chef as their teammate and sous chef. A blind taste test ultimately determines if Bobby or his competitor takes home the win. Upcoming episodes feature Food Network all-stars including Giada De Laurentiis, Alex Guarnaschelli, Carla Hall, Eddie Jackson, Michael Symon, Brooke Williamson, and Geoffrey Zakarian.
