On this trip, Guy Fieri's playing a tasty game of chicken all over the country. In Alameda, Calif., a joint is cookin' it Nashville hot-style and putting a gourmet twist on a burger. In Lansing, Mich., the bird is served French-style at a funky pizza-pasta place. And, in Kona, Hawaii, it's stuffed at a spot dishin' out Southern comfort with island flair.
New York City firefighter Keith Young is not some rookie in the firehouse kitchen. He’s a seasoned veteran with a culinary-school degree and a chicken cacciatore recipe with five-alarm flavor. Now the self-proclaimed "Firehouse Chef" is getting some face time on the Food Network. Of course, he doesn’t know that his star turn at New York’s Fire Museum is really a Throwdown against Bobby Flay. Plus, this challenge has a catch: both Keith and Bobby have to prepare their meals on a firehouse budget. In this Throwdown, cacciatore glory belongs to the man who can shop on the cheap but deliver gourmet.
