Noah Cappe takes his taste buds on an international tour. First, Noah heads to the center of the country at the Taste of Omaha for a taste of the Elote Corn Dog that tops a chorizo corn dog with corn salsa and Banh Mi Fries loaded with juicy marinated steak and tangy pickled vegetables. Then at the Rochester Lilac Festival in New York, Noah samples Birria Torta -- a Mexican sandwich stacked with delicious layers upon layers of slow-braised beef, Oaxaca cheese and avocado -- and Korean Tacos that pile soy-braised pork and gochujang crema on top of wonton nachos. For something closer to home, Noah tries a riff on a local Rochester delicacy, Garbage Rolls, that fries hamburger meat, meat sauce, macaroni salad and fries in an eggroll. Finally, it's strawberry season at the West Virginia Strawberry Festival, where Brody's BBQ Lasagna grills up a Southern take on a classic lasagna with layers of noodles, barbecue sauce, cheese, pulled pork and chicken. Plus, there's the Strawberry Cheesecake Calzone for dessert, fried fresh and loaded with local strawberries and sweet cream cheese.
The Hungry Detective takes viewers for a ride-along on his beat, the Los Angeles South Bay area. First stop: Rizzo's Pizza, where Chris developed his passion for food flipping pies as a teenager. Next, Chris follows the trail of fishing boats to fresh and delicious seafood dishes at the San Pedro Fish Market, which overlooks the Los Angeles Harbor. Day two of our ride-along starts with a hearty Hawaiian breakfast at Gardena Bowl, a little cafe hidden in a bowling alley! Here Chris and a loyal Gardena Bowl regular enjoy Loco Moco, an egg, rice and hamburger patty dish smothered in brown gravy, and a Hawaiian Royal, an amazing combination of Portuguese sausage, pork, green onions and scrambled eggs served over a bed of rice and topped with teriyaki sauce. Next, Chris spices up his hometown tour when he heads to Hermosa Beach for authentic Cajun cuisine at the Ragin Cajun. Finally, Chris takes us to Los Paisas, a little family-run stand located in a Mexican market, for the ultimate authentic tacos made from pork, carne asada and chicken. `
