This trip, Guy's visiting restaurants with a definite direction. In Syracuse, N.Y., the longtime pasta institution makin' a tomato sauce just for dipping, spicy chicken riggies, and duck and cheese pizza. And in Nags Head, N.C., the local food-focused joint using funky techniques on deep fried pickles and soft shell crab.
Mary Berg lives the grill life veg-first with tasty vegetarian recipes that will entice even the meat eaters. Grilled Buffalo Cauliflower puts a smoky spin on the classic app, served over a pond of herbed blue cheese ranch dip. Grilled Pizza comes together quickly using store-bought dough, while Grilled Halloumi Salad takes "grilled cheese" literally in a Berlin döner-style dish, drizzled with zesty sauces, herbs and fresh veggies. Finally, Mary makes it impossible to miss meat with Pulled Mushroom Sandwich doused in homemade barbecue sauce.
