The Kitchen is throwing a Girl Scout cookie extravaganza with over-the-top recipe creations using the hosts' favorite Girl Scout cookies. Katie Lee kicks things off with her Taco Turkey Burger and Thin Mint Milkshakes. Sunny Anderson uses Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies for her Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Alex Guarnaschelli incorporates Do-si-dos in her decadent Chicken Legs with Spicy Peanut Sauce. Jeff Mauro shares his Salted Caramel Samoas Cannolis, and then Geoffrey Zakarian makes his Shortbread Cookie Pork "Milanese." Finally, local Girl Scouts and the hosts compete in a Smart Cookie Trivia Challenge.
We're headed to Los Angeles, where the weather is warm and the food is fantastic. From the famous French dip at Phillipe's to local favorite Roscoe's for their chicken and waffles, you'll see why we love LA! And, in a city of cars, it's no surprise we found some of the best tacos in a truck, and a crave-worthy chili dog that came straight from a train. Los Angeles is the home to Hollywood, so of course even the popcorn is perfect. We head to ArcLight Cinema where the main attraction isn't always the movie!
The Kitchen is passing the summer produce and cooking easy, flavorful recipes! Katie Lee starts with one of her favorites, peaches, to make Grilled Smoky Tofu Tacos with Peach Cucumber Salsa. She tosses a cucumber to Sunny Anderson, who makes her Easy Mustard-Pickled Veggies. Jeff Mauro uses Sunny's fresh corn in his Smoked Corn and Poblano Chicken Skillet then tosses a zucchini to Alex Guarnaschelli. Alex makes her delicious Fried Zucchini and tosses basil to Geoffrey Zakarian, who whips up Tomato Bruschetta with Crispy Prosciutto. Plus, the hosts showcase their gardens and share tips for growing fresh summer produce.
Noah Cappe takes the West Coast by storm, starting with the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. He gorges on the Big Pickle Dog, then stands at attention for the Colonel Katsu Bao, an Asian-inspired chicken taco. For dessert, Noah chills out with the Deep Fried Margarita and snacks on the Churroreo. Noah's second west coast stop is at the LA County Fair in Pomona, California, where he dips into some Deep Fried Guacamole, porks out on the Bacon Wrapped Pork Belly and finally, bites into The Noah, a spicy-sweet dessert made just for him.
The Kitchen is tailgating bright and early with a breakfast of champions! Sunny Anderson kicks things off with her Breakin' the Fast Burger and Katie Lee brings her breakfast MVP, a Slow Cooker Hash Brown Casserole. Jeff Mauro turns up the heat with his Crispy Buttermilk Popcorn Chicken and Waffle Bowl, then former pro football player Nick Mangold makes his touchdown dish, Ultimate Tailgate Steak and Egg Tacos. The hosts build some fully loaded Walking Cereal Bowls. Plus, we gear up for the game with a Double Duty Dessert Display and a game-changing Pull-Apart Cinnamon Roll Football.
Guy Fieri throws the ultimate family reunion in Nags Head, N.C. Family means everything to Guy and he shows it, pulling out all the stops to make for a memorable reunion. Surrounded by dozens of his family and relatives, Guy cooks up a storm and plays just as hard. Throughout the week, every meal is an event with the family pitching in, whipping up Oyster and Chicken Po' Boys, creatively Stuffed French Toast, delicious Mahi Mahi Tacos, and even a full on Outer Banks Crab Boil. Balancing out the food are family games on the beach, deep sea fishing, and even crabbing in the sound. From interviews with family members, to candid moments with Guy, this is a rare inside look at one of Food Network's biggest stars.
Inspired by the Food Network show Supermarket Stakeout, The Kitchen hosts are swapping grocery bags and making exciting new dishes. Katie Lee starts the swap by making Spicy Pecan-Crusted Chicken Thighs with Sunny Anderson's groceries. Then Sunny uses Geoffrey Zakarian's groceries to make her sweet and savory Brunchy Bread Pudding. Geoffrey continues the chain by making his BBQ'd Sweet Potato and Parmesan Souffle with Jeff Mauro's grocery bag, and Jeff uses Katie's groceries for Chocolate Coconut Tofu Ice Cream with Mixed Berry Sauce. Katie and Sunny share their go-to recipes for freezer favorites: Katie's Jackfruit Tacos and Sunny's Holiday Vibe Sweet Potato Patties. Jeff and Geoffrey turn their personal supermarket staples, pickle juice and relish, into superstars with Jeff's Pickle-Slaw and Geoffrey's Classic Egg Salad with Aioli Mayo and Sweet Relish.
