On this trip, Guy Fieri's enjoying a fun, filling fiesta. In Grand Junction, Colo., there's a legit pub serving scratch-made comfort, like elevated hash and a real deal Reuben. In Salt Lake City, a funky spot takin' tacos to a whole new level, and, in Nashville, Middle Eastern specialties that are as outrageous as the group cookin' them up.
The junior chefs must integrate the mystery basket ingredients into taco-inspired dishes, starting with pork and tropical flavors in the appetizer basket. A prickly plant must find its way onto the plates for the entree, then a cake in the third basket contains a sweet surprise! Chef Scott Conant, Food Network Star finalist Martita Jara and actress Kym Whitley serve as judges.
The winner of the Master of 'Cue competition on the series "BBQ Brawl: Flay v. Simon" serves up a zesty recipe for marinated skirt-steak tacos with a tomatillo sauce and pineapple salsa.
Guy Fieri jumps on the farm to table bandwagon and cooks a Mexican-inspired meal with local celebrity chef Duskie Estes. First up, Al Pastor Tacos -- pork shoulder in a pineapple-chipotle marinade served with corn tortillas, Roasted Tomatillo Avocado Salsa and diced grilled pineapple. On the side, Tex-Mex Rice, with fire roasted tomatoes, sweet corn and diced carrot. And wait until you see Chef Duskie's Backyard Gigante Beans and Pumpkin -- a sweet-savory dish finished with squash blossoms and papalo -- this is a side that takes center stage.
Guy Fieri samples fast food done right; In Houston, TX a joint in an old grocery store for wild burger toppings; In Milwaukee, a corner café putting a twist on classic; And in Reseda, CA, hot dogs deep fried, wrapped in bacon and even in burritos.
