The Kitchen is throwing a Girl Scout cookie extravaganza with over-the-top recipe creations using the hosts' favorite Girl Scout cookies. Katie Lee kicks things off with her Taco Turkey Burger and Thin Mint Milkshakes. Sunny Anderson uses Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies for her Easy Peanut Butter Cookie Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Alex Guarnaschelli incorporates Do-si-dos in her decadent Chicken Legs with Spicy Peanut Sauce. Jeff Mauro shares his Salted Caramel Samoas Cannolis, and then Geoffrey Zakarian makes his Shortbread Cookie Pork "Milanese." Finally, local Girl Scouts and the hosts compete in a Smart Cookie Trivia Challenge.
No fork, no knife, no problem -- the folks from Iron Chef can't wait to get their hands on these tasty bites! From crunchy falafel to crispy chicken schnitzel, Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli loves to cradle the sandwiches at Shaya in New Orleans. Iron Chef winner Ed Lee finds great satisfaction with the meat-filled tacos at Big Star in Chicago, while Iron Chef Gauntlet competitor Sarah Grueneberg prefers the burgers, chicken nuggets and fries at Trick Dog in San Francisco. Plus, Iron Chef winner Beau MacMillan devours deviled eggs, oysters and chicken wings at Tavern and Table in Charleston, S.C.
Guy Fieri tracks down some great places that prove fast food can also be great food. In Fairhope, Ala., a where a trained chef is doing fast food the old European way -- pressed panini sandwiches, filled with everything homemade, even the mozzarella; in Austin, Texas, homemade tacos done every which way -- from breakfast, to carne asada, al pastor, fish tacos, and more -- and even the salsa is made from scratch; and in Gilbert, Ariz., a fast food joint right on the farm, where they're growing much of the menu out back, and the burgers and pizzas are made and topped with the freshest ingredients.
Everything is better with a side of fries! On this episode of Meat & Potatoes, fries take center stage as Rahm Fama scours the country for delicious meaty meals and the unique fries that come with them. Rahm's first stop is Tucson, Arizona at Zinburger, where the chef's topping his gourmet burger with fine wine and serving it up with decadently sinful Double-Truffle Fries! Then in Las Vegas at KGB in Harrah's casino, Rahm spies some meaty fries so good they should be a government secret. No doubt about it – everyone's a winner with Chef Kerry Simon's indulgent and fun Short-Rib, Sloppy-Joe Waffle Fry Nachos. Lastly, Rahm visits La Laiterie at Farmstead in Providence, Rhode Island where New England's "Prince of Pork" is cooking up beer-braised pork belly sandwiches served alongside crispy, handmade, golden Polenta Fries.
