This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbin' grub from Vietnamese to vegan with some major meat in between. There's a Minneapolis Southeast Asian spot cookin' up Balinese chicken thighs and Vietnamese pork belly crepes. A Jersey Shore joint is smokin' up real-deal BBQ stacked into Reuben and chicken sandwiches. And a husband-and-wife duo in Missoula, Mont., is bakin' plant-based, gluten-free faves, like artisan avocado on scratch-made multigrain, plus lights-out lemon-glazed doughnuts.
Guy Fieri is making sandwiches for his friends and family. He's making Waldorf Chicken Salad Panini: warm pressed focaccia sandwiches filled with shredded roast chicken, toasted walnuts, diced apple and red grapes in a creamy herb dressing. To go with that, Sweet Potato Latkes; shredded sweet and russet potatoes fried into golden, crispy pancakes, served with a dollop of sour cream. And to drink, Guy's mixing up a dangerously refreshing Sweet Tea Cocktail, with cucumber, mint, raspberries and lemon.
Ree Drummond's transforming random cuts of beef into four delicious dishes. She's turning stew beef into Slow Cooker Sunday Stew and serving it with fabulous Buttery Parsley Lemon Noodles, then bottom round steak is unbeatable in a Teriyaki Beef Stir Fry for lunch. Good ol' ground beef is used as a filling in amazing Meat Pies, then last but not least, a slab of top round London broil stars in a stunning Grilled Beef Salad.
Valerie Bertinelli is showing her friend and Today Show co-anchor Hoda Kotb a great summer meal she can make for her family. They start with Arugula Salad with Quick Pickled Grapes, Fennel, Pear and Brie and then make Flank Steak with Lemon Lime Herb Sauce, Smoky Tomato Eggplant Dip with Grilled Sourdough and Citrus Grape Smash Cocktails. The friends also share tips for getting through the day with grace and gratitude.
