This trip, Guy Fieri is trackin' down off-the-chain chicken from across the globe. In Salt Lake City, there's a unique curry-chicken mashup, and in Albuquerque, N.M, the chicken is down-home fried alongside a sweet take on waffles. Plus, in Grand Junction, Col., the bird's nested in tacos at a spot also puttin' an outrageous culinary spin on guacamole.

Tyler's take on beef tacos is a far cry from gorund beef and jarred salsa! Instead, Tyler braises beef shoulder in the style of Mexican pot roast until it's falling off the bone and ready to be nestled into fresh-fried corn tortillas with homemeade guacamole & salsa. Plus, grilled corn on the cob slathered in spicy mayo with crumbled sharp cheese.
Rockers and grillers...you'll love Gordy & Gary-two guys who jam together and host a food web show-and wait till you taste their Grilled Chicken Quesadillas, Surf n Turf Flank Steak and their Prawns with Grilled Romaine.
