    Description

    Alberto Gonzalez may have left Cuba, but he brought his grandmother's recipes so he could continue to cook rich and savory Cuban cuisine. Guy was impressed by the balance of flavors found in the fricase de pollo served with rice, beans and maduros. The slow-roasted pork pleased Guy.

    This trip, Guy's slammin' on the breaks for some enticing eats. In Chicago, the authentic Cuban joint platin' up family recipes like the fricase de pollo.

    This time, Guy Fieri's got all kinds of chicken and a chowder that can't be missed! First up in Florence, Ore., a never-been-seen seafood shack is makin' a must-have crab chowder, and Guy's creating a crab toast for their menu! Then, a Cuban spot in Chicago is cooking pollo and vaca frita the authentic way, and in Houston, a Jamaican joint's still adding their wet jerk seasoning to just about everything.
