Guy Fieri is digging into all kinds of hearty meals on this trip. In San Antonio, an East Coast-Texas deli mash-up pilin' up smoked meat sensations. Plus a funky joint making big-time empanadas. And in Sebastopol, Calif., a farm-to-table spot putting their spin on stroganoff and making decadent bacon-gelato-toffee waffles.
Three sandwich fanatics show Guy Fieri their stacked skills in Flavortown Market to earn some bread. First, the chefs have to make a decadent sandwich with the cheese and bread picks they select in a Fantasy Food Draft. The winner gains an automatic $10,000 and faces off against the all-star judge of their choice in a final sandwich showdown to see who can make the best mile-high sandwich using one ingredient per aisle. Whoever makes the highest-scoring sandwich wins a second $10,000 prize.
This trip, Guy Fieri's diggin' into fresh fish, sammies, and more! In Seattle, a seafood spot is dishin' out a rockfish banh mi and delicious shrimp toast. And a Japanese joint is puttin' the spotlight on soba served with craveable kimchi and decadent duck. Plus, there's real-deal BBQ in Tampa, bringing big flavor to the-bomb brisket, mighty mac, and wicked ribs.
Born and bred in Kentucky, Jeff's mother-in-law has Southern cooking in her bones, and she shows Jeff her master recipe for homemade biscuits, which Jeff uses as a jumping off point for some amazing twists on Southern classics for brunch; Biscuit and Sausage Gravy Sandwich with Southern Green Beans and The Derby, which features bacon, sliced turkey and a blue mornay sauce. For dessert, a Strawberry Shortcake layered with fresh whipped cream. Will this Southern meal get his mother-in-law's stamp of approval?
