This trip, Guy Fieri's diving into dumplings and other righteous recipes from around the world. In Cincinnati, a not-your-everyday Japanese joint is firing up meaty gyozas and a surprising Asian-pasta blend. In Sisters, Ore., a Nepalese spot is showcasing their traditional dumplings alongside a pork belly bao. Then in Los Angeles, a Lebanese-Armenian oasis is putting out stellar shawarma and a righteous regional dumpling dish.
Every style of Asian cuisine has a unique and delicious noodle dish, and Chef Jet Tila whips up two of his absolute favorites. He brings back his family's Pad Thai recipe from 1972, which includes tofu, chicken and shrimp. Next up, Jet gets that gold-standard Chinese restaurant flavor by using country-specific ingredients to make a silky gravy for his Hong Kong-Style Chow Mein with crispy noodles, chicken and vegetables.
Ree Drummond is cooking against the clock to make four of her favorite recipes over into lighter, healthier 16-minute meals. There's Lighter Chicken Parmesan for a quick kids' dinner, then Lighter Asian Noodle Salad is a perfect speedy lunch for when Ree's up against it. Next, she's transforming her tasty Taco Skillet, a wonderful help-yourself meal. Finally, Lighter Fried Pork Chops, served with super fast white beans and spinach, is perfect for dinner.
Guy Fieri's family loves cooking at home and great restaurant food, so they combine the best of both worlds with some Triple-D style takeout. Guy and his son, Hunter, chat via video with four DDD alums who send ingredients to make their most off-the-hook recipes. On this menu, there's a wild West Virginia weenie, a new spin on a burger from Charlotte, N.C., a Miami Asian-barbecue mashup and a righteous baloney sandwich from Atlanta.
The Kitchen shares recipes that can turn anyone into a Weeknight Warrior, starting with Geoffrey Zakarian's Sloppy Joes and Katie Lee's Hot and Crispy Fish Sandwich. The hosts find out how to throw together a Greek Chicken Skillet with supermarket shortcuts, and Chef Jet Tila stops by to make an easy Asian Beef with Broccoli dish. Jeff Mauro serves up a White Pizza, and Marcela Valladolid makes a Mexican Cola Float to top off the week.
Asian cuisine has some of the most delectable fish dishes, and Chef Jet Tila cooks up some mouthwatering seafood with two recipes from across Asia. He heats things up with a beautiful Steamed Striped Bass topped with ginger, scallions and an aromatic oil that sizzles over the skin. After sharing some tips for selecting the freshest fish, he whips up a classic Salmon Misoyaki with deep umami notes and a miso glaze that is perfect for salmon's rich texture and savory flavor.
Guy Fieri loves bar snacks for their big and often addictive flavor, so he's sharing a couple of his favorite off the hook recipes. First up, Lollipopped Spicy Asian Chicken Wings — they look fancy, and taste even better. Next, Spicy Jalapeno Artichoke Dip, with Swiss chard, tons of cheese, bacon and more: Pair with sturdy tortilla chips and it's a meal! And what are bar snacks without the bar? To wash it all down, Guy's Peated Lemons Cocktail is smoky, citrusy, herbal and totally money!
This trip, Guy Fieri's going globe-trotting for gangster grub while staying stateside. First, a brother-and-sister spot is bringin' their mom's real-deal Italian recipes to Naples, Fla., with lights-out lasagna Bolognese and mouthwatering meatballs. Then, a farm-to-table joint in Tallahassee, Fla., is infusing Southern cooking with international flavors, puttin' out pork belly bao buns and a funky fresh take on shrimp and grits. And an Asian fusion kitchen in Chicago is platin' out-of-bounds beef bone ramen, plus the-bomb braised chashu pork buns.
