Guy Fieri's reeling in off-the-hook seafood and digging into some serious sandwiches on this trip. In Seattle, a beer-lover's spot serving fantastic fish and chips and the bomb beef dip. On the big island of Hawaii, a local gem dishin' out fresh-catch curry and a primo poke burger. And in San Francisco, a Chinese emporium cooking up lobster, pork buns and even dim sum chicken feet.
We're all about those indulgent dishes you shouldn't have too often! Starting in Portland, Oregon, we check out a food cart serving up a burger that's stacked with mozzarella sticks and fried fish. There's a savory-and-sweet shop in Louisville, Kentucky, serving a gravy-smothered doughnut sandwich and a 24-layer chocolate cake in New York City. Later, there's a guilty pleasure seafood pot pie in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, a monumentally huge pile of meat-and-cheese-covered curly fries in Riverside, California, and a lobster-stuffed burger topped with a lobster claw in Minneapolis. Finally, we're checking out Southern-fried chicken sandwiches in Los Angeles and mac-and-cheese pancakes in Queens, New York.
This trip, Guy Fieri's going from the smokehouse to the fish market and more in between! A former Navy medic and Triple-G alum is bringin' big-time BBQ to Tampa with the-bomb brisket burger and an over-the-top Texas melt. In Rogers, Ark., a family-run Middle Eastern spot is platin' funkalicious shawarma and kebabs. And in Bentonville, Ark., a fishmonger-turned-restaurateur is bringing coastal culinary to the heartland, makin' a gangster grouper sandwich and legit lobster ravioli.
The Kitchen co-hosts put their spins on the hottest trends in the food world. Katie Lee Biegel busts out the air fryer to make her Summer Fish Fry. Sunny Anderson weighs in on some of social media's hottest trends and makes her Twisted Bacon in "Tik Tok It or Knock It!" Alex Guarnaschelli jumps on the plant-based meals trend with her Cheesy, Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Burgers. Jeff Mauro and the gang play a game on how to "Compost Like A Champ!" Geoffrey Zakarian finishes with dessert and makes a Chocolate Oat Milk Budino with Balsamic Strawberries.
Guy Fieri tracks down some great places that prove fast food can also be great food. In Fairhope, Ala., a where a trained chef is doing fast food the old European way -- pressed panini sandwiches, filled with everything homemade, even the mozzarella; in Austin, Texas, homemade tacos done every which way -- from breakfast, to carne asada, al pastor, fish tacos, and more -- and even the salsa is made from scratch; and in Gilbert, Ariz., a fast food joint right on the farm, where they're growing much of the menu out back, and the burgers and pizzas are made and topped with the freshest ingredients.
The Hungry Detective takes viewers for a ride-along on his beat, the Los Angeles South Bay area. First stop: Rizzo's Pizza, where Chris developed his passion for food flipping pies as a teenager. Next, Chris follows the trail of fishing boats to fresh and delicious seafood dishes at the San Pedro Fish Market, which overlooks the Los Angeles Harbor. Day two of our ride-along starts with a hearty Hawaiian breakfast at Gardena Bowl, a little cafe hidden in a bowling alley! Here Chris and a loyal Gardena Bowl regular enjoy Loco Moco, an egg, rice and hamburger patty dish smothered in brown gravy, and a Hawaiian Royal, an amazing combination of Portuguese sausage, pork, green onions and scrambled eggs served over a bed of rice and topped with teriyaki sauce. Next, Chris spices up his hometown tour when he heads to Hermosa Beach for authentic Cajun cuisine at the Ragin Cajun. Finally, Chris takes us to Los Paisas, a little family-run stand located in a Mexican market, for the ultimate authentic tacos made from pork, carne asada and chicken. `
