Jeff Mauro stops in to see his friends at Conte de Savioa, in the heart of Chicago's Little Italy, to learn the secret of making fresh mozzarella and gain a few other insights for his Italian sandwich fest back home. Once in his own kitchen, Jeff takes some of the creamy fresh cheese he helped make and puts it first on an Italian cold-cut sub and then atop the classic sausage and peppers hero. And even your sweet tooth gets a little relief with Jeff's fun and creative take on the Italian favorite dessert, the cannoli.
With a bad case of party fever, Jeff Mauro heads up to Milwaukee to get learn the secrets of the gigantic party sub from the folks responsible for feeding barbecue and sandwiches to half the Wisconsin State Fair. After a hands-on demo, Jeff wrestles a 6-foot hero roll home and starts building his own party sub -- succulent slow-cooked pork done as a gigantic Cubano sandwich. And since he's throwing an all-ages bash, Jeff whips up mortadella and salami sliders for the kids, and sets out bowls of his homemade spicy nut mix to keep the boogie going.
Most of us think of sandwiches as lunch, but when you're having breakfast for dinner anything goes! Chicago's Deluxe Diner lives up to its name, and makes one of Jeff's favorite breakfast sandwiches: a Monte Cristo on French toast. Jeff works the griddle getting Chef Marcello's secrets and heads home to break out his own version. Then he takes the day-for-night inspiration even further and makes a sandwich as delicious as it is audacious: fried chicken between a pair of waffles. Finish with a side of bacony braised collard greens and you won't care what time it is. Order up!
Being the Sandwich King is a full-time job, and doesn't always leave Jeff time for romantic moments with his wife, Sarah. So he makes a beeline to see Chef Randy Waidner at Luxbar, a place that's figured out a way to mix the folksiness of sandwiches with the glamour of date night. Call in some classic luxury foods -- steak for mini crostini and fresh lobster on a home-baked hot dog bun -- and Jeff's ready to romance his wife at a candlelit table for two. But don't forget dessert: chocolate sandwiches with strawberries and toasted marshmallow.
The six candidates continue their training, enrolling in Chicken Guy! University to master all aspects of the menu and how to create it in the kitchen. Day 1 of training is exhausting and emotional. Guy Fieri checks in, and candidate Phil reveals that he needs to leave for one day to save his job at home. Guy allows it, but Phil's sudden departure and the stakes of the competition take an emotional toll on everyone. The other candidates question Phil's choice to leave, and he returns to infighting and harsh confrontational words before the final Chicken Guy! University challenge. They each have five minutes to work the line solo and prepare three full meals to be judged for accuracy and taste. The culinary challenge threatens to push the candidates to their breaking point and stand in the way of their graduation from Chicken Guy! University.
If you know Guy Fieri, you know he loves his garlic. Today, Guy goes crazy for the clove with this garlic-centric menu, starting with a suprisingly mellow Roasted Garlic Soup. Served alongside crunchy Asiago Crostini, this smooth puree is the perfect way to prepare for the main course. Chicken and the Bodacious Bulb is 10 pieces of juicy chicken, seared in garlic-infused oil and then drowned in a gravy made with about 50 cloves of garlic. For dessert, Guido's Classic Tiramisu offers a sweet retreat from the garlicky goodness. Chicken and the Bodacious Bulb; Roasted Garlic Soup with Asiago Crostini; Guido's Classic Tiramisu.
