This trip Guy's rolling coast to coast for flavor. In Astoria, N.Y., a dive bar cranking out slow roasted lamb ribs with fresh tzatziki. In Geyserville, Calif., a third-generation Italian restaurant serving up the family meatball recipe in a slider. And in Indianapolis, a catering kitchen turned restaurant where something called tomato bon bons have become a local favorite.
The day kicks off with a Chicken Chipotle Mac and Cheese, and BIRD Bakery's Elizabeth Chambers stops by to make mini cupcakes. Plus, easy substitutes when you're in a pinch, and a look at which bar gadgets will save you time. Then, celebrate fall's bounty with delicious recipes using Brussels sprouts and acorn squash, and toast the season with Fall Floats.
This trip, Guy's slammin' on the breaks for some enticing eats. In Chicago, the authentic Cuban joint platin' up family recipes like the fricase de pollo. In Memphis, a high-end chef taking low-down Southern staples to whole new level like the chorizo meatloaf with green tomato gravy. And in Annapolis, Md., the sidewalk shack worth stopping for, with dishes like chipotle habanero barbecue pork sandwich.
The Kitchen gives retro recipes some modern upgrades, starting with Geoffrey Zakarian's New-Style Steak Diane. The hosts put old-school kitchen rules to the test and share their own tips, and then Sunny Anderson makes her BK Currywurst Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket. The Casserole Queens, Sandy Pollock and Crystal Cook, stop by to spice up a classic with Lunch Lady Doris' Spicy Mac and Cheese. Jeff Mauro and Katie Lee re-create two ice cream truck favorites, Double Strawberry Shortcake Bars and Chocolate Peanut Butter Eclair Bars, before the hosts reveal viewers' choice throwback or comeback dishes and give them a retro refresh.
