Chef Robert Irvine is in the resort town of South Padre Island, Texas, to help the owners of the Padre Rita Grill. This four-year-old business features both food and music, but they're not doing either very well. Robert will have to overhaul the tacky tiki bar decor and get the owners to focus on the bottom line to make life at the Padre Rita Grill paradise.
There's nothing like the sound of meat hitting the grill to get your mouth watering. But we're not just cooking steak... How about a succulent Mongolian Pork Chop, delicious southern rib tips, or juicy diver scallops? These are just a few of the smokin' hot dishes that Food Network stars like Guy, Duff, and the grill master himself, Bobby Flay, say are The Best Thing I Ever Ate....GRILLED.
Bobby soaks in the regional flavor of Charlotte, NC by cooking with the executive chef of the Mimosa Grill, attending a Hog Pickin' Party, eating soul food at the Coffee Cup and shops a the local farmers market.
