Guy Fieri's family loves cooking at home and great restaurant food, so they're combining the best of both worlds by firing up takeout with a twist. Guy calls in the heavy hitters with five all-star chefs who send ingredients for their most off-the-hook recipes then join Guy and his son, Hunter, via video chat to guide them through cooking up all that flavor. On this menu, there's tandoori chicken poutine from Maneet Chauhan, Christian Petroni's famous polenta flavor bomb, arancini and empanadas from Antonia Lofaso, fried chicken and waffles with a spin from Marcus Samuelsson and Michael Voltaggio's crab-cake crepes and caviar.
As the weather breaks after a long, bitter winter in Northern Minnesota, tradition calls for the start of road trips. Amy Theilen heads to Madison, Wis., where she meets with local butcher and friend Johnny, who sends her home with delectable beef spare ribs from Fountain Prairie Farm. At her favorite cheese shop, Fromagination, Amy picks some of Wisconsin's best cheeses before stopping at Karben4, a new brewery that will supply her a smoked Porter used both as an ingredient and accompaniment to her recipes. Back at home, uses her collected ingredients to prepare Oven Baked Ribs, Smoked Sardine Caesar and Maple Bread With Washed Rind Cheese.
