Food Revolution
Philadelphia is good at starting things - revolutions and new forms of government, as well as culinary uprisings large and small. On Walnut Street, Chuck Hughes discovers a microcosm of Philly's gastronomic greatness - hearty fare like Scrapple at Square Peg, classic and veggie meatballs at Marabella Meatball Co., Middle Eastern cuisine at Zahav, Cheesesteak Asian-style at Sampan, and a gelato at Capogiro Gelato that will make your head spin.
Magazine Street Mojo
New Orleans is a big delicious gumbo, and on Magazine Street, Chuck Hughes tastes a spicy melange of diverse influences. He starts with a crawfish pie straight from the bayou, gets a lesson in Creole roux at Ignatius, and indulges his sweet tooth and penchant for hot sauce at the grocery store with an awesome name, Breaux Mart. Later, he eats a paneed Mississippi Rabbit sandwich at La Petite Grocery and then tries his hand at pulling taffy in the back of a Roman Candy Company's roadside attraction.
Taste Of Soul
Memphis is on the bucket list for most music lovers, but it's also a mecca for food. Here, Chuck gets a little bit of country and little bit of rock-n-roll with peanut butter and banana pancakes cooked in a wood-fired pizza oven at Rock-n-Dough, a nutty treat that's been popular since 1929 at The Nut Shoppe, soulful barbeque with a Memphis pitmaster at Rendevous Rib Shipping, a rustic chess pie at Grawemeyer's Deli, and fried catfish with the Queen of Southern cuisine at Felicia Suzanne.
Where The Ocean Meets The Farm
The "foodiest small town in America" has a lot to brag about. Portland, Maine, is where the ocean meets the farm, and Chuck tastes it all, including an underappreciated fish that gets its moment to shine in a delicate Pollock stew at Farmer's Table, the best sticky buns outside Paris at Standard Baking, a smoked lamb inspired by Italy at Vignola Cinque Terre, and fresh, steamed lobster that Chuck catches himself at Three Sons Lobster & Fish.
Man In The Mission
In the crazy collision of cultures and personalities that is San Francisco, all kinds of food trends come bubbling up into the national consciousness. And there's no better part of town to see that happen than the Mission District. In the City by the Bay, Chuck gets a tasty lesson in gi-normous burritos, as well as Latino history and culture, from local expert, Jaime Maldonado and snacks on decadent pork belly donuts at favorite hang-out, The Sycamore. Then, he's off to Foreign Cinema to enjoy pan-seared halibut, butter beans, and avant garde film with chef Kevin Davidson. Finally, Chuck dishes out Chicken Fried Soul sandwiches at Jason Fordley's late-night, pop-up kitchen, Soul Groove.
