Nigella's week is a jumble of whipping up fast food and more leisurely cooking at the weekend. There are ravenous kids who want their food now, people dropping round after work and a kitchen full of hungry people of all ages on Saturday and Sunday but whoever & whatever Nigella has it covered with her totally decadent peanut butter cheesecake, her Mother's Praised chicken, a chic easy Roast Seafood feast for friends and a child friendly, steaming bowl of Small pasta with Salami. You know it makes sense.
In North East, Penn., host Noah Cappe eats a Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich even The King would approve of, and checks out a Chicken-Stuffed Pretzel so good, it's got Noah all shook up. Next, Noah heads across the country to the California State Fair. The fair highlights the state's fresh produce in dishes like Spaghetti Ice Cream, where California strawberries are the base of the "sauce" in this frozen delight. And the famous Lobster Corn Dog gets crowds lining up to sample some of the freshest seafood on the West Coast.
Food Feuds heads to North Jersey to settle a slider battle that has been brewing since the 1939 World's Fair, and Iron Chef Michael Symon is at White Manna in Hackensack and White Mana in Jersey City to decide which burger brings the beef. The buns may be bite size but this feud is a monster. In Barberton, Ohio, Eastern European immigrants have been frying up their own brand of chicken for over 70 years, and not much has changed at White House and Belgrade Gardens. Michael Symon discovers what gives the bird that extra crispy crunch and where the famous hot sauce gets its kick at the two monumental fried chicken institutions.
