Unlike previous episodes, in this one, Fieri challenges the chefs to push their creativity by asking them to prepare a dish using only three randomly selected ingredients.
Throughout the episode, Fieri visits six restaurants in different parts of the country to taste the dishes prepared by the chefs. In the first restaurant, he visits a New York deli that specializes in grilled sandwiches, and he challenges the chef to prepare a sandwich using only bacon, jalapenos, and blue cheese. The result is a mouth-watering sandwich that combines the smoky flavor of bacon with the tangy taste of blue cheese and the heat of jalapenos.
Next, Fieri visits a steakhouse in Kansas City, Missouri, where he challenges the chef to prepare a steak using only asparagus, mushrooms, and Worcestershire sauce. The chef impresses Fieri with his innovative cooking techniques that bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
In the third restaurant, Fieri visits a seafood restaurant in Charleston, South Carolina, and challenges the chef to prepare a dish using only shrimp, grits, and pickled okra. The chef creates a delectable shrimp and grits dish with a twist, adding pickled okra for a tangy taste.
The fourth restaurant Fieri visits is a BBQ joint in Memphis, Tennessee, where he challenges the chef to prepare a dish using only pork ribs, mustard, and coleslaw. The chef comes up with a mouth-watering dish that combines the smoky flavor of pork ribs with the tangy flavor of mustard and the crunch of coleslaw.
In the fifth restaurant, Fieri visits a Mexican restaurant in San Francisco, California, where he challenges the chef to prepare a dish using only corn tortillas, avocado, and cilantro. The chef creates a delicious dish by frying the tortillas and using them as the base for tacos filled with avocado and cilantro.
Finally, Fieri visits a soul food restaurant in Houston, Texas, and challenges the chef to prepare a dish using only catfish, black-eyed peas, and hot sauce. The chef impresses Fieri with her skills, creating a flavorful dish that brings together the subtle taste of catfish with the distinctive flavor of black-eyed peas and the heat of hot sauce.
Overall, "Diners Drive Ins And Dives" season 7 episode 3, "Name That Cook," is an exciting episode that highlights the creativity and culinary skills of talented chefs across the country.
