The Fieris and a caravan of family and friends are hittin the road in their RVs for an epic journey through Appalachia filled with some of the best food in Tennessee and Kentucky. This leg of the journey kicks off with amazing Triple-D food trucks servin' up grilled cheese, Jamaican food, banh mi and barbecue. Then, a dairy farm visit turns into a contest to see who can create the best ice cream flavor. Plus, there's an over-the-top campground feast and real deal barbecue at an old prison turned into a tourist destination.
This trip, Guy's hittin' up some joints that'll warm the palate and the soul. In Portland, Ore., the funky neighborhood cafe cranking out comfort foods like the heartless artichoke sandwich and a curried lentil dish that hits all the right notes. In Albuquerque, N.M., a double duty brewery is serving up soul food with a New Mexico twist, like southern fried chicken and crackling cornbread. And in Kansas City, Mo., the barbecue and blues joint with a die-hard barbecue competitor dishing up regional favorites like burnt ends and battered fries and a local NASCAR hero to boot.
The Kitchen kicks off a Labor Day barbecue with wings two ways. The hosts have easy solutions to common barbecue dilemmas and offer up recipes including Geoffrey Zakarian's No Cream-Creamed Corn, Marcela Valladolid's Grilled Corn and Poblano Salad, and Sunny Anderson's grilled Jumbo Shrimp with a 1-2-3 Glaze. Plus, desserts you can cook on the grill, using pickle brine to punch up flavor, and cool off with a Frozen Raspberry and Vodka Lemonade.
