This trip, Guy Fieri's hittin' the road for some outrageous seafood and tasty bird. In Des Moines, the trophy-winning barbecue joint smokin' up all kinds of unique wings and dishing out an out-of-bounds apple dumpling dessert. Across town in West Des Moines, a real deal Ecuadorian spot cookin' up authentic specialties like chicken with rice and pork with hominy. And in Eugene, Ore., the seafood market serving up totally fresh caught Dungeness crab and a legit Cajun crawfish pie.
This trip, Guy Fieri's tackling everything from land to sea. In Des Moines, the funky fusion joint serving up unique burritos alongside off-the-chain bulgogi masa fries. Across town in the Beaverdale area of Des Moines, the Southern spot cooking up all the classics, from ribs and red beans and rice to catfish cakes and collards. And in Atlantic City, the husband-wife duo dishing out soul food standouts like turkey chops and pig feet.
When Guy thinks catfish, you know it's cast-iron pan time. A nod to Southern Cajun tradition, this cat's bringing back the lost art of blackening. And why not? One bite of the spicy-smokey flavors and this old cooking method will be your new favorite!
