Ree Drummond is preparing a selection of easy game-day eats. First, there's a simple but game-changing Chocolate Devil Cake. Then, Ree scores big with Smash Tacos, a dream-team beefy mashup of burgers and tortillas, and she brings her snacking A game with incredible, speedy Sticky Chicken Legs. Finally, there's no contest when it comes to Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Dogs being a real game-day favorite.
Ree Drummond is remembering recipes where the indoor grill is the star. First, incredible Burgers with Mango Slaw are a spin on a cookout classic. For a quick dinner, there's 16-minute Butterflied Garlic Parmesan Drumsticks and Caprese Salad, and Grilled French Toast and Strawberries is perfect for a totally over-the-top breakfast. Finally, Honey-Garlic Shrimp Skewers are another 16-minute gem and great for a solo supper.
This trip, Guy Fieri's diving into a meaty smorgasbord. In Nashville, a funky neighborhood joint is serving up loaded carne fries and a skyscraper burger, and in New Smyrna Beach, Fla., a rockin' chef is cooking up real deal gnocchi and Grandma's hands-on pizza recipe. Plus, a spot with an out-of-this-world atmosphere is going huge with monster pork chops and an Italian meat extravaganza.
Host Noah Cappe's taste buds are brought to life at the Día de los Muertos Festival in San Antonio. Noah does a deep dive into a Loaded Oaxacan Tamale -- a traditional tamale loaded with fried chicharron and sumptuous sauces -- and scarfs down the Elote Dog -- a house made bacon-wrapped wiener loaded with Mexican street corn -- that twist fair food staples together in the most satisfying way. The fantastic food fusion doesn't stop there as he tries the Smash Burger Taco -- seasoned beef pressed into a tortilla and loaded with burger toppings -- and the Breakfast de Muertos -- a sweet and savory breakfast sandwich on a traditional Pain de Muertos bun. Later on, Noah visits Florida for the Florida State Fair in Tampa, where series veteran Mama Jane serves up a Cubano sandwich on a funnel cake, and for the Brevard Renaissance Fair in Melbourne for the sweet, crunchy and fired up Dragon's Breath Brûlée.
Noah Cappe takes his taste buds on an international tour. First, Noah heads to the center of the country at the Taste of Omaha for a taste of the Elote Corn Dog that tops a chorizo corn dog with corn salsa and Banh Mi Fries loaded with juicy marinated steak and tangy pickled vegetables. Then at the Rochester Lilac Festival in New York, Noah samples Birria Torta -- a Mexican sandwich stacked with delicious layers upon layers of slow-braised beef, Oaxaca cheese and avocado -- and Korean Tacos that pile soy-braised pork and gochujang crema on top of wonton nachos. For something closer to home, Noah tries a riff on a local Rochester delicacy, Garbage Rolls, that fries hamburger meat, meat sauce, macaroni salad and fries in an eggroll. Finally, it's strawberry season at the West Virginia Strawberry Festival, where Brody's BBQ Lasagna grills up a Southern take on a classic lasagna with layers of noodles, barbecue sauce, cheese, pulled pork and chicken. Plus, there's the Strawberry Cheesecake Calzone for dessert, fried fresh and loaded with local strawberries and sweet cream cheese.
