Guy Fieri had two special guests for his latest culinary competition: Jelly Roll and Shaboozey.

The Food Network star, 57, appeared at the Stagecoach County Music Festival in Indio, Calif., this weekend, where he hosted his own attraction, Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse, featuring three days of cooking demonstrations.

On Saturday, April 26, the two music stars joined him onstage to chat about their favorite foods and participate in a “loaded baked potato showdown,” according to the Los Angeles Daily News.

Jelly Roll opted for a russet potato, while the “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” musician’s spud of choice was a sweet potato.

Ultimately, Fieri announced that Jelly Roll’s creation took top honors, “for no cash or prizes but just street cred and a lot of smack talk.”

In a post on Instagram, Stagecoach referred to the trio as the “dream BBQ rotation.”

Guy’s two sons Hunter, 28, and Ryder, 19, helped with the cooking, as did Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo.

Hunter shared a carousel of images from the event, including a shot of him with Jelly Roll and another of him grilling with his younger brother.

“Took the win this weekend with my brotha @jellyroll615,” he captioned the photos on Instagram.

In another snap, Hunter shares an embrace with his fianceé, Tara Bernstein.

The couple, who got engaged on Thanksgiving 2023, having been sharing wedding planning updates with their Instagram followers.

In a funny video the couple posted last week, they playfully bicker while tasting cakes made by Buddy Valastro for their upcoming nuptials.

Hunter repeatedly urges the pickleball pro to “get all the layers” when sampling the slices,” and when she prefers to pick out her “favorite color” from a piece of rainbow cake, declares, “That’s not how you eat cake.”

However, they agree over the winning dessert: birthday cake.

The Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives host told PEOPLE in February that the pair was struggling to shorten the guest list for the special occasion at his Northern California home later this year.

“They’re both such big personalities, and they both have a lot of friends,” Guy noted. “I mean, that’s the toughest thing. [How] those two [will] whittle it down to 350. I have no clue.”

Last month, the couple shared a joint Instagram post in which they noted that the celebration is just months away.

“less then 6 months until I get to marry my best friend❤️,” read the caption.

The accompanying video showed Bernstein leaping into Hunter’s arms on the beach.

“Jumping into forever with my favorite person ❤️🌊,” they wrote.
