On choppy Chopped seas, U.S. Navy chefs can expect anything but smooth sailing. In the appetizer round, they'll have to create spectacular apps using a soup and an aged meat product. Then in the entrée round, the chefs ponder how to make French fries work with pineapple, while the dessert round features a tropical fruit and a patriotic cake. Only one chef can move on to the finale, where $75,000 for a charitable cause will be on the line!
This trip, Guy Fieri's stopping in small towns to dig in to big-time eats. In Raymond, N.H., a blow-your-mind butchery loadin' up their burgers and crankin' out scratch-made corn dogs. In Vincentown, N.J., a multi-generational diner making mile-high meatloaf and a triple-decker apple pie French toast. And in Rocky Hill, N.J., a 1700s inn turned gastropub dishin' out a tomato twist on burgers and a funky spin on disco fries.
This trip, Guy's driving the Camaro all over the nation for some real deal eats. In Tampa Bay, Fla., chili and burgers are the long-standing stars at a roadside shack, and Guy invents a new half pounder for the menu -- the Triple D Triple Play. And in Vancouver, British Columbia, the old-school nostalgia joint's roasting beef and servin' it up with Yorkshire pudding and a killer french dip, plus stuffing steak and mushrooms into the perfect pie.
Chefs Tiffany Derry and Alex Guarnaschelli and actress Jennette McCurdy are on hand to judge this round of junior chefs, who must first deal with a peculiar hot dog pasta in their appetizer baskets. The odd combos continue in the second round with s'mores French fries, plus a difficult-to-prepare protein that is definitely new to the young cooks. Then, some adorable dumplings and some fancy fruit are two of the ingredients in the mix for dessert.
This trip, Guy Fieri's gettin' into next-level bowls, burritos, and more! There's righteous ramen in Rogers, Ark., servin' up finger-lickin' karaage chicken and gangster garlic miso. A Seattle spot is putting a Lebanese spin on over-the-top tacos and burritos with the-bomb beef and killer carnitas. Plus, a craveable comfort joint in Bentonville, Ark., is slingin' serious sammies, like a smoked French dip and a sizzlin' skirt steak with an Asian twist.
Kardea Brown is cooking up fun treats for a softball game with her friends. She is kicking up her Three Lil Pig Hot Dog with some pulled pork and crushed pork rinds on top and throwing together Miss Brown's Ballpark Potato Salad, a beautiful tri-color potato salad with a tangy vinaigrette. Plus, Kardea makes an addicting French Onion and Leek Dip and, for dessert, bakes some Vanilla Snack Cakes to bring this meal to a home run!
This trip, Guy Fieri's getting a taste of every meal from dawn to dusk. In Long Beach, Calif., the gastropub marrying pork belly with octopus and serving up slam dunk short ribs. In Monterey, Calif., the neighborhood spot keepin' it local and going scratch-made for dishes like apple pancakes and a three-pork porchetta. And in Wilson, Wyo., the log cabin-turned restaurant cooking up a banana bread French toast mash-up and classic beef stroganoff.
This trip, Guy's headed south of the border to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. On the town's main drag, the taco joint that's turning out totally fresh octopus tacos and Guadalajaran-inspired sauces that'll knock your socks off. On the marina, the all day spot dishin' up stuffed fish with lobster sauce and a unique spin on French toast. And down the dock, another marina favorite serving up a taquito trifecta alongside super fresh sushi with Mexican flair.
The chefs get bountiful breakfast foods in every basket and are asked to stretch the most important meal of the day into three indulgent courses. They even get to work with farm fresh eggs direct from the chicken coops of judge Martha Stewart! A series of mishaps plagues one of the competitors in the second round, and then in the dessert round, French toast and Chinese porridge must find a place in the remaining chefs' final dishes.
This trip Guy's headed where you sent him. In Frankfort, Ky., an old diner where a high-end chef is scratch-baking French bread for his Oyster Po' Boy. In Cloquet, Minn., a burger joint that's been making their hand-pattied Double Cheeseburger the same way for 50 years. And in Fountain Valley, Calif., a coffee shop run by a former Marine where they're serving up a mess hall favorite on an actual mess hall tray.
