guy fieri has traveled from the beaches
of the jersey shore to waikiki with one
destination in mind flavor town stay
tuned as guy pursues the sweet and the
savory of everyone's favorite super bowl
snack chicken wings strange but true you
can find some of the best wings at a
jersey shore strip mall restaurant
specializing in burritos 10th avenue
burrito in belmar new jersey is just a
90 minute drive from nyc but it's
apparently worth the trip in fact one
person commenting on the youtube video
of the 2010 diners drive-ins and dives
episode that featured this restaurant
enthused man would i eat there right now
and i'm in los angeles that's how good
this guy cooks the first thing fieri
tried was the pork mole platter
something he described as awesome and
said he could eat all day long what
really blew him away however were the
wings tossed with a housemaid adobo
sauce this sauce which fieti helped to
make starts with a base of tomatoes
vinegar and dried chipotles then adds
garlic onions bay leaves oregano and a
few more unexpected ingredients cinnamon
cloves oranges and pineapple it also
gets a touch of sweetness from the
crystallized mexican sugar known as
pilancillo the wings are grilled tossed
in the adobo sauce and served with a
side of avocado ranch fieri's verdict
out of bounds right heat right spice
alkaline is a restaurant in norfolk
virginia that offers what they describe
as quote non-traditional asian-inspired
dishes and food network calls it some
pretty next level street food lucky for
us alkaline was happy to share the
recipe these jumbo wings are dipped in a
light batter and then double fried for
extra crunch the sticky wing sauce is
made from ketchup mayo soy sauce
worcestershire chili sauce and chili oil
and the wings are brushed with the sauce
rather than dipped in order to retain
their just fried crispiness as a final
touch they're finished off with a
sprinkling of fried garlic snipped
chives and sesame seeds you don't want
to eat it too fast because you don't
want it to end
if you're going to name your los angeles
restaurant beer belly and call one of
your menu items barbecue volcano
chipotle wings well you pretty much have
to expect that guy fieri will be
dropping by to check them out sooner or
later sadly la eater informs us that the
koreatown eatery location where fieri
enjoyed those volcanic wings closed down
in 2019 and the long beach location
closed a few years later they did
however share their sauce recipe enough
for 40 pounds of wings the ingredients
are too numerous to list them all but
include ketchup chipotles cider vinegar
worcestershire louisiana style hot sauce
cayenne pepper sriracha red pepper
flakes tabasco sauce mustard liquid
smoke and a little brown sugar fiati's
initial reaction was wow yeah those are
hot
one of the more unusual types of wing
guy fieri has encountered in his cross
country odyssey is the banana garlic
variety from the blue eyed crab
caribbean grill and rum bar in plymouth
massachusetts while fieri sampled the
restaurant's lobster and lump crab
creole the real standout dish he
discovered there and one that the menu
to this day touts as having been
featured on triple d consists of spicy
chicken wings served in a garlicky
banana sauce fiati described these wings
as a calypso band meets metallica the
blue-eyed crab has also been kind enough
to share the recipe for their signature
wings but it's complex so you'll need
some time if you want to try this at
home the wings are first marinated in
orange juice soy sauce and spices
including ginger cinnamon and star anise
then they are oven roasted until they
are crisp the sauce includes not only
bananas but banana liqueur plus garlic
of course with other flavors including
orange maple syrup and chili sauce even
the dipping sauce and side dish carry
out the tropical theme the former is
made from pineapple juice and sour cream
while the latter consists of fried
plantains in place of the more standard
fries or celery sticks
a few years ago guy fieri paid a visit
to the east village's trendy ducks
eatery a place that served up a mean
smoked wing which they proceeded to
improve upon with the addition of
house-made jerk sauce the resulting
wings were something fiery called really
flavorful big unique unfortunately duck
cedary was unable to weather the
pandemic they did however leave food
network their wing recipe for posterity
it's a two-parter as these jumbo wings
served whole are first marinated in a
mixture of fish sauce soy sauce lime
juice vinegar and a laundry list of
spices and seasonings including
lemongrass star anise and curry powder
before being smoked once they are done
cooking the wings are brushed with a
sauce made from more lime juice fish
sauce and curry powder
one of guy fieri's favorites among the
numerous wings he's tried are the ones
made by san diego's ob noodle house the
noodle house bills itself as an asian
fusion restaurant and no trip to the
restaurant would be complete without an
order of their on the way to becoming
legendary spicy garlic wings the wings
take a full day or more to soak in a
marinade that not only makes them crazy
flavorful but turns them a fiery red
fiati however didn't find them to be as
incendiary as their hue might imply he
remarked that they featured only quote a
little bit of heat not too much
explosive they may not be but fieri
nevertheless declared the garlic wings
to be the bomb although the restaurant
hasn't shared their recipe for spicy
garlic wings they did do the typical
on-camera walkthrough of the wing-making
process from this we can see that the
marinade includes ginger garlic
lemongrass onions thai chilies habaneros
peanut butter and hoisin sauce the
marinated wings are deep fried then wok
fried with more garlic chilies white
pepper sugar and green onions before
being served on a bed of green lettuce
for a christmassy contrast
while over-the-top wing preparations are
not only fun to eat but also make for
entertaining tv viewing sometimes you
just can't beat a classic fried chicken
wing with a basic buffalo sauce this is
exactly what guy fieri found when he
paid a visit to the aptly named uzan oz
soul food restaurant in the heart of
washington dc's u street corridor
birthplace of duke ellington and dc's
answer to harlem fieri enjoyed the cajun
spiced shrimp and grits but he was also
pretty partial to the crispy fried
chicken wings apparently ooz and oz
owners learned how to fry a mean chicken
wing from their grannies and the wings
can stand on their own as the delicious
fried chicken they are they do however
come with your choice of four different
sauces barbecue lemon pepper teriyaki
and buffalo the last of these was
fieri's pick and it was a choice he had
no cause to regret we need to put that
on the uss flavor town
guy fieri discovered some of the most
authentic thai food around at opal thai
a restaurant on honolulu's north shore
run by bangkok born chef opal he gobbled
down several delicious dishes including
pad thai and pork larb but his favorite
item on the menu was the garlic glazed
hot wings the video of the wings
preparation shows that they're first
fried naked no breading batter or
seasonings then tossed in a hot wok with
a sauce made from garlic chili paste and
rice wine as a crowning touch the plate
of wings gets a garnish of deep fried
basil fiati's first reaction upon biting
into the wings was holy moly that's the
most garlic i've had on anything he does
note though that the garlic since it's
been cooked so nicely blends well with
the rest of the flavors this allows you
to taste the entire spicy sweet salty
spectrum rather than having the wings be
overwhelmingly harsh and garlicky
when guy fieri visited scully's tavern a
strip mall miami sports bar he was
probably expecting a typical menu of bar
foods instead he was amazed to find such
out of the ordinary fare as potato chip
crusted mahi mahi and belgian style
escargot yet another surprise for fiery
and a very pleasant one at that was
chicken wings cooked scampi style the
way scully's cooked their wings was
pretty unique in and of itself the wings
were first fried then tossed with sauce
then grilled then tossed with sauce
again then grilled one more time while
scully's did offer a buffalo style wing
even the buffalo sauce was made with
plenty of garlic the scampi wings
however were dressed with nothing more
than garlic butter and parmesan fiati
joked that eating such non-standard
non-spicy wings was sacrilege but the
first bite changed his mind as he put it
the kicker was the caramelized garlic
legit food legit legit
lucky san franciscans they have access
to their very own filipino fusion food
truck guy fieri of course had to pay
this a visit though it's technically not
one of his three d's
still the food senor seasig serves up is
definitely his cup of tea food network
says fieri's a fan of the sour pork
seasick tacos but he was perplexed by
the adobo glazed buffalo wings his first
reaction was to say i can't figure out
the flavor although he ultimately
decided the wings were not too sweet not
too spicy not asian not mexican just
senor seasig it seems as if the wings
aren't always available on the senor
seasig menu not to mention san francisco
is a bit of a trip for many of us senor
seasig however was obliging enough to
supply food network with their recipe
the wings are first marinated in soy
sauce spices and sugar cane vinegar and
then baked fried and tossed in that
mysterious adobo glaze so what's in
senor seasig's secret sauce the secret's
out the complex flavor mixture includes
more soy sauce and vinegar as well as
ketchup honey worcestershire garlic and
chipotles
it's like kryptonite i'm gonna eat it
i'm gonna go to sleep
in 2016 guy fieri took a trip to
stockton california to visit a
restaurant called smitty's wings and
things that specializes in you know what
smitty himself is former nfl player
steve smith and stockton happens to be
his wife's hometown while smitty's menu
offers a dozen different types of wing
sauces ranging from plain to tropical
mango chipotle habanero to thai inspired
sweet and sour fieti went with a classic
damn hot the damn hot wings are first
coated in paprika spiced flour then
fried and sauced as to the damn hot
sauce itself this is made from a mixture
of cayenne chipotles and green chilies
fieri calls the finished dish a good
old-fashioned funky crunchy wing which
is something we can never get enough of
while des moines iowa may not rank up
there with kansas city st louis or
memphis among the world's barbecue
capitals when it comes to chicken wings
they can hold their own with anyone
that's because des moines is home to
smokey d's barbecue a restaurant that
wins award after award sure their
brisket and ribs are as mouth-watering
as smoked meats tend to be but food
network says the real men you stand out
are the smoked wings when guy fieri paid
smokey deez a visit he learned that
smokey d's wings are deep fried after
their smoking something that makes them
doubly delicious he tried the asian
glazed wings and described them as
dynamite great spice nice balance subtle
not overdone the asian glaze is one of
three different sauces smokey d's offers
the other two being barbecue and buffalo
we all love a good pun named thai
restaurant but there's far more to tie
me up than the name alone guy fieri
couldn't hold back on the superlatives
when he tried the offerings at this food
truck in kahului hawaii he called it a
freight train to flavortown and
described the boneless pork ribs by
saying on a scale of 1 to 100 that's a
101 fianni also raved about the stuffed
chicken wings something he called out of
bounds unfortunately these wings no
longer appear to be featured on tie me
up's menu and they haven't made their
stuffed wing recipe public however
according to a similar recipe from
seahodge creations the tricky part with
making stuffed wings is deboning the
wing itself in addition to rice noodles
and veggies their recipe uses ground
pork for a double meat delight and tops
the wings with sweet chili garlic sauce
in place of the plum sauce favored by
tie me up
