Guy Fieri's hitting the road and grabbing all kinds of worldwide flavor. In Kauai, Hawaii, a Japanese-Hawaiian spot putting a quick spin on fish, burgers and burritos. In Kansas City, Mo., an Australian bakery cookin' up Down Under comfort food like meat pies and sausage rolls, and in El Paso, Texas, a funky joint servin' international mashups like Pasta Chihuahua and an oxtail tostada.
This trip, Guy's pulling up for a different kind of fast food. In Honolulu, a 48-year-old drive-in where burgers and dogs come with rice and macaroni salad. In Duluth, Minn., a deli on the north shore of Lake Superior where you can grab fresh smoked fish, for here or to go. And all over Los Angeles, a taco truck doing Chinese-Mexican fusion.
The chefs must cook a glorious meal for the judges using only fired-up grill pans. The first basket contains a shocker of a meat and a sweet surprise that the competitors wish they could ignore. A freshwater fish and a fermented product challenge the chefs in Round Two. And in the dessert round, some strange s'mores and weirder burger buns keep things interesting for the last remaining contenders.
Ree Drummond is sharing 100-percent kid-approved recipes that are all quick and easy to make.
