On this episode, host Noah Cappe travels to Oklahoma for the Apache Rattlesnake Festival. He bravely samples the Deep Fried Rattlesnake, the namesake dish of the festival. Then it's back to more carnival classics like Texas Twister Fries and the spicy Mexi-Dog. Later, Noah takes in the treats at Alabama's Oak Mountain Spring Fair. Starting with Dre's Barbeque Baked Potato, and moving onto cheese-stuffed gilled pork balls, jambalaya stuffed peppers and finishing up with Deep Fried Bread Pudding, it's southern comfort food with a fair flare!
Bobby Flay's recent trip to the Emerald Isle was clearly on his mind when he came up with his succulent and savory Irish-style brunch menu. He creates a bountiful family-style platter filled with some of Ireland's favorites such as Fried Eggs, Double Smoked Bacon, Crispy Sausage, Toasted Brown Irish Soda Bread, Cheesy Hash Browns, Roasted Veggies and a frothy Tea Latte to get your day started right.
Valerie Bertinelli has invited some local first responders to her home to show her appreciation for how they put their lives on the line fighting fires.

She cools things off for dessert with Grasshopper Ice Box Pie.
Giada De Laurentiis makes a special -- and portable -- meal for her Aunt Carolyna and her husband, Alex, who are parents to new baby Arlo. Giada prepares Chicken with Chickpea and Tomato Ragu, a Cheesy Bacon and Hash Brown Frittata and Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Bread. Then she packages up the food and drops it off at Carolyna's house while sharing how special it is to have a new baby in the family.
Tabitha Brown may not be the biggest sports fan, but she loves to eat her way through a game. Her tricky eaters throw a curveball at the chefs by challenging them to sub out this notoriously cheesy and meaty meal with ballpark eats that aren't fried, have no bread and don't involve hot dogs. These contestants will have to be brilliant with their burgers in hopes that they don't strike out!
On this trip, Guy Fieri is digging into a Scandinavian, Persian and Asian spin on wings. A vintage food truck in Portland, Ore., rollin' out wraps stuffed with Norwegian specialties, and, in Sunrise, Fla., authentic Iranian cuisine like chicken pomegranate stew. Plus, in Oklahoma City, a joint goin' wild with wings -- like Buffalo sriracha, bourbon teriyaki and Szechuan garlic parmesan.
