Mexican style rice gets air fried and dressed up with sushi-grade tuna tossed in bold and fresh elements, including cilantro, scallions, adobo and a splash of lime. A slice of serrano chile adds a bit of spice to each square.

On this trip, Guy Fieri's got Asian flavors, an American classic and some mashups in between. In Anchorage, Alaska, there's a Korean-Mexican joint rolling out kimchi burritos and wild wings. In Aspen, Colo., Guy and Hunter are hittin' a smokehouse putting their own twist on ribs, and in Albuquerque, N.M., a funky fusion spot heads off the charts with a flavorful veggie specialty and the bomb pork belly.
Pat and Gina Neely are spicing up their hometown, living 'La Vida Memphis!' First, Pat's making Pulled Pork Tacos with Zesty Cabbage Slaw. Then, it's Gina's Mexican Rice and Fresh Tomato Salsa with Homemade Spicy Tortilla Chips. Finally, to wash it all down is a drink that'll blow your mind; it's Gina's San-Grita, a margarita with a sangria swirl. This is one meal that will truly take you away!
An over-reduced sauce and undercooked venison are two of the potential problems that threaten the chefs as they try to make appetizers. Salmon in the second basket seems like a good draw, but no Chopped round is ever straightforward and easy. Then, with Mexican chocolate in the dessert basket, it seems like the judges are in for a treat, but one of the chef's time management woes are worrying.
The home cooks enter to meet their new guest professors, Debi Mazar and Aaron Sanchez. The subject is geography, and for their group test, they must compete in a tag team challenge cooking dishes that combine the styles of where they are from. The two teams with the least successful dishes then compete in an elimination test using ingredients from the most popular cuisines in the world: Thai, Italian or Mexican.
Food-truck and food-cart pros, on a roll, fight it out for Chopped Kitchen dominance. The mandatory appetizer round ingredients range from a cheap, sweet treat to a fine-dining indulgence. The three chefs who move on to the entree round find a pork delicacy and a Mexican staple. And when the finalists take on the dessert round, there is potential for confrontation over a key piece of equipment.
Things are cookin' all kinds of ways in Flavortown. First, Guy Fieri checks in on a diner in San Diego where law enforcement hones their skills and stuffs their gills. Then, a French-trained-chef-turned-barbecue-expert teaches Guy a thing or two about smoking sausage in Mission, Kan. And finally, in Phoenix, a Triple D legend serves up a Mexican-Asian mashup that has never been matched.
This trip, Guy Fieri's going fanatical for Phoenix-area fare in Arizona! First, Irish pub grub meets Southwest style with killer corned beef and cabbage taquitos plus a lamb shepherd's pie. Then, a family-friendly eatery is bringing smoke and spice to their dirty Cajun pasta and wood-fired pizza, and a neighborhood taqueria is redefining a Mexican street-food fave with a crunchy beef option and gourmet garlic mushrooms.
