Guy Fieri finds three local joints doing scratch cooking their way. In Boise, Idaho, a family restaurant doing this trifecta: brick oven pizza, remarkable salads and roasted chicken; in Cleveland, a coffee shop turned restaurant where the bread's from scratch, the corned beef is house-brined and veggies are grown out back; and in Chicago, a barbecue joint doing Memphis style dry rub for everything from brisket to beef tips and ribs.
This trip, Guy Fieri's cruising the East Coast, grabbin' delicious dishes at classic joints. In New York, there's barbecue in the Bronx and authentic Neapolitan pizza in Manhattan. Then, breakfast and burgers in Rhode Island and an obligatory stop at a real-deal diner in Philly. Plus, a legit Baltimore market serving up out-of-bounds Italian specialties. So gear up and put the pedal to the metal for this righteous feast in the east.
In this grilling competition judged by singer Jessie James Decker, food writer Jed Portman and chef Geoffrey Zakarian, a new batch of precocious junior chefs must use a classic cornmeal dish in the appetizer round. The grill pans continue to get a workout in round two, where the kids must combine a marshmallow treat with white barbecue sauce. Then, the dessert round delights the finalists when they find a magnificent cake in the basket!
Every Sunday, Damaris lights up the grill and fires off ingredients to last the week: this week, she's grilled off jalapeno peppers and strawberries. She uses the peppers as a base for a Compound Butter to top her Pan-Seared Pork Chops that she dresses alongside her Perfect Cornbread. The grilled Strawberries are the basic element in her mouthwatering Barbecue Sauce Baked Beans. Grill once and have flame-kissed flavor all week long.
This trip, Guy Fieri's gettin' cheesy and meaty, starting in South Bound Brook, N.J., where a meat market with an unforgettable chef is stacking up their spin on the sloppy joe and baking a fully stuffed bread. In Nashville, a taco joint is pilin' up a carne asada bowl and nachos with hot local flavor. Plus, there's a down-home spot serving craft beer, a dynamite dip and the bomb barbecue pork mac.
This trip, Guy Fieri's hitting up joints owned by Food Network super chefs to see what they're cookin' up. In Nashville, he's with Maneet Chauhan, who is serving up her creative spin on Indian recipes, taking them to a whole new level. In Cleveland, he joins Michael Symon at his barbecue spot, firin' up pork belly and a loaded potato flavor bomb. Along the way, Marc Murphy even pops by to get into the mix.
Guy Fieri's hitting the road and digging into joints that are loading it, stuffing it and frying it. In Santa Fe, N.M., a farm-to-table gem putting out hearty goodness like bison gravy fries and a lights-out lamb sandwich. In Kansas City, Kan., a funky Mexican seafood spot fryin' fish and stuffin' outrageous oysters, and in El Paso, Texas, a barbecue joint serving up fully loaded baked potatoes and serious smoked sausage.
Cozy up in Chef Bobby Flay's kitchen as he and Damaris Phillips talk about comfort food and make feel-good favorites with one of their favorite people: Ina Garten! Bobby cooks up his go-to comfort dish, a Red Chile Glazed Meatloaf. Then Ina joins the party with her creamy Parmesan Mashed Potatoes and Sauteed Shredded Brussels Sprouts. Damaris adds sides to the menu with Barbecue Mac and Cheese and Honey-Buttermilk Skillet Cornbread.
