Guy Fieri is grabbing Southern flavor without ever hittin' the South. In Cambridge, Mass., a funky joint is fryin' up Nashville hot chicken and cookin' up gangster gumbo. A smokin' spot in Sparks, Nev., is firing up wagyu brisket and wing nachos, and finally, in Juneau, Alaska, an Asian-Southern fusion house is puttin' out smoked-brisket pho and honey-bourbon ribs.
Alex Guarnaschelli creates her own backyard take on nachos made without chips or cheese. When the contestants take on sweet-and-salty carts with less than five ingredients each, Alex accepts the challenge to orchestrate a showstopping dish of her own.
