This trip, Guy Fieri's firin' up big time barbecue all over the country. Of course there's killer 'cue cooking up in Texas, Memphis, and North Carolina... but how about ribs and collards in Compton, Calif. and southern-style sandwiches in Philadelphia? Plus, all the fan favorites like the bomb brisket, off-the-chain chicken, and lights-out pulled pork. So get your bib on and dig in to this saucy, smoky special!
Eight food truck teams arrive at the prestigious Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island, S.C., where Tyler Florence awaits on the 18th hole with a putting challenge and a mandate to sell classic Carolina barbecue. Then the teams head to Shelter Cove for two days of selling to hungry locals and tourists alike. Tyler throws a wrench in their plans when he devises a challenge with a South Carolina treat: boiled peanuts.
Guy Fieri visits Zoftig Eatery in Santa Rosa, CA, where they serve up a fantastic spicy beef burrito packed with homemade Korean BBQ sauce, pickled veggies and kimchi.
Few things are more American than barbecue and there are as many delicious variations as there are dedicated pit masters. The queue for 'cue at one popular Austin restaurant stretches down and around the block, while the mash-up of Korean and American-style barbecue draws a big crowd at a small Atlanta barbecue shack. There's succulent smoked chicken in Philadelphia and spicy jerk chicken in the Twin Cities. Plus, a dive bar is turning out delectable barbecue in Cambridge, Mass., and the San Fran restaurant whose signature barbecue platter comes with every meat, side and fixin' on the menu. Roll up your sleeves for the best barbecue ever.
