Andrew Zimmern enjoys a food truck-filled afternoon at The Gateway, Salt Lake City's premiere outdoor shopping center, where summer is in full swing. He meets the owners of The Salty Pineapple, a colorful Hawaiian lunch plate truck that serves up Kalua Pig, Garlic Chicken and a hand-mashed fruit drink called O'tai. He also checks out Havana Eats, a truck owned by a young Cuban-American chef determined to introduce SLC to some of his grandmother's favorite recipes, from Cuban pressed sandwiches to Picadillo Empanaditas. Later, Andrew heads to one of the hottest happy hours in town at Fisher Brewing Company, where he discovers a larger-than-life food truck, Nella, built from a shipping container and equipped with an enormous wood-fired pizza oven. The pizzas only take 60 seconds to cook, but this truck makes an impression that lasts forever. Finally, he rewards one deserving culinary dreamer with a $10,000 tip and a Food Network seal of approval.
To kick off the second season of Meat & Potatoes, Food Network chef Rahm Fama heads out across the nation in search of All American Meat. His culinary crusade takes him to unique eateries from coast to coast, as he sinks in incisors into some of the best meat in the country. To start, Rahm takes his carnivorous quest to Old Original Nick's Roast Beef, a 70-year old, Philadelphia institution serving up simple, succulent sandwiches that are so good the locals have developed their own language for ordering. Then he heads to Founding Farmers, a Washington D.C. eatery owned by 42,000 American family farmers. There, chef Al Nappo is using grass-fed, sustainable beef to create single servings of the Colonial classic, Yankee Pot Roast. To wrap up the episode, Rahm touches down in Los Angeles, where newcomer Chili Addiction is spooning out over 90 varieties of American's favorite one pot dish.
