Competing chefs attempt to prove from the start that they're the one to beat. In the first basket, a big burger with a gluttonous twist gives the chefs a lot of options. Parsley cake is a curve ball in round two, and when the last remaining chefs focus their attention on a dessert basket that includes Cara Cara oranges and a curiously boozy condiment, the judges are impressed by the level of skill they see.
Guy Fieri puts his spin on turkey burgers: with roasted chiles mixed into the grilled patties, sauteed onions, peppers and a layer of monterey jack cheese, all piled on toasted brioche buns ... it is out of bounds! On the side, Crispy Fried Pickles: coated in panko breadcrumbs and served with homemade buttermilk dipping sauce. To wash it all down, a Roasted Jalapeno Margarita. A little spicy, a little sour, and extremely dynamite delicious.
The South Florida Fair in West Palm Beach is one of the first events of the calendar year, and our vendors start the season off right with whacky takes on some fairground classics, with The Waffle Burger and the Donut Philly Cheesesteak. 'Zanado Fries and a S'mores Cobbler round off the day. Then Noah Cappe heads west to the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver, where he gets down with The F Bomb. The Uber-Tater is the ultimate in comfort food, while the Icy Apple Dream sends Noah home on a cloud.
