Andrew Zimmern hits the road and heads to Birmingham, Ala., to explore one of the hottest up-and-coming food cities in the country. He meets the owner of Chubbfathers, who's committed to cooking comfort food and feeding hungry folks -- even if they can't pay -- out of his postage stamp-sized kitchen on wheels. Andrew also gets to know a young couple that decided to take the money they had saved for a fairy-tale wedding and spend it on a food truck instead. Now they're living happily ever after with their trailer, Highway Kabobery, and serving artisanal kabobs and fresh sauces. He explores Granny's Fish 'N Grits, where a multi-generational family is crushing the legacy dishes of the South, including shrimp and grits and deep-fried catfish. Finally, Andrew rewards one deserving culinary dreamer with a $10,000 tip and a Food Network seal of approval.
The Fieris and a caravan of family and friends are hittin the road in their RVs for an epic journey through Appalachia filled with some of the best food in Tennessee and Kentucky. This leg of the journey kicks off with amazing Triple-D food trucks servin' up grilled cheese, Jamaican food, banh mi and barbecue. Then, a dairy farm visit turns into a contest to see who can create the best ice cream flavor. Plus, there's an over-the-top campground feast and real deal barbecue at an old prison turned into a tourist destination.
