The Delkwood Grill in Marietta, Ga. is a family-run joint with an aging clientele. Owners Dawn and Paul desperately need younger customers to keep their doors open, but they haven't changed a thing in decades in an attempt to honor their father's legacy. On top of that, there's a major sports stadium opening nearby that will bring new crowds. Enter host Monti Carlo and her team of elite Yelp reviewers, who use hidden cameras to uncover flavorless food and overcooked burgers. Monti sends the kitchen to burger school, but will the Delkwood follow her advice in order to entice both the stadium crowd and the younger generation?
When it comes to eating light and fresh, Bobby knows how to make a simple meal blossom with flavor, color and texture. After picking up a few succulent heirloom tomatoes from the Upper East Side’s Eli’s, Bobby heads back to his grill to make a Mint Marinated Grilled Shrimp Tabbouleh, and a Fresh Mozzarella and Stacked Heirloom Tomato salad. Grilled red snapper gets topped with a tart and savory Grapefruit-Thyme Mojo, and Strawberries with Ricotta Cream and Pistachios wrap up this healthy feast.

A recent trip to Sicily inspired Bobby Flay to really think about the foods of Southern Italy in a new way, to take those amazing flavors and traditions and turn up the heat -- literally. Spice is front and center with his Brined and Butterflied Chicken Alla Diavola, paired with a cool Lemony Fennel Slaw. Then Bobby puts gorgeous grill marks on a Southern Italian staple with his Grilled Eggplant Caponata Bruschetta with Ricotta Salata. The sea is always nearby, and Bobby uses it to his advantage by making a Grilled Tuna with Caramelized Onions, Cinnamon and Mint. A refreshing Prosecco cocktail called the Sgroppino completes this delicious tour of the warmer part of the peninsula.

Chef Robert Irvine receives a heartbreaking plea from Megan, who owns the BFE Bar and Grill in Waynesboro, Ga. with her husband, Mike. The restaurant is deep in debt and their family is suffering, but when Robert shows up, he also finds out that the state suspended their liquor license for not paying their taxes. Robert quickly learns he will have to pick and choose what to fix: their reputation is in the dumps, they're understaffed, and food service is painfully slow. It's a fight to the finish as he desperately tries to fix as much as he can and the owners try to pay back their taxes before the grand reopening.

Pass the Pasta Salad
The food of California, with its devotion to fresh, local and seasonal ingredients started a revolution all across America. Bobby Flay loves bringing the light fresh cooking of our 31st state to the grill, and kicks off California day with a savory Grilled Lamb Sausage Salad topped with Goat Cheese, Black Olives and Pistachio Vinaigrette. Next, he elevates the humble spud with his smoky and tangy Mustard Aioli Grilled Potatoes with Fine Herbs. Chef Flay believes you can't talk about California cuisine without mentioning its spiritual father Wolfgang Puck, so Bobby pays homage by grilling a Puck-inspired Smoked Salmon Pizza. We finish our trip with his refreshing Rose Punch, a drink that combines both the fruit orchards and vineyards of the Golden State. Westward ho!
