Each of the 150,000 tamales made each year at The Tamale Place are handmade and hand-tied. As Guy learned on DDD, that means the masa for the tamales is made with freshly ground corn every day. It's also used for everything from tacos to tortilla chips to the just-like-grandma's apple pecan tamale.
This trip Guy's finding funky flavors all over the country. In San Francisco, an Asian/American/Mexican fusion joint doing a Korean spicy pork burrito with homemade kimchee. In Indianapolis, a tamale spot loading homemade masa with everything from Mexican-spiced beef to apples with pecans. And on the south side of Chicago, a Belizean place serving classics like king fish in gravy with mashed plantains.
This trip, Guy Fieri's checking in with some of his favorite flavors from around the world! First, a Japanese joint just north of Atlanta has expanded to a second location and is still puttin' out killer culinary like their real deal duck ramen and rockin' ribs. Then, a husband-and-wife team in Indianapolis is continuing to crank out top-notch tamales, dynamite chipotle chicken nachos and perfect pork tacos, while in St. Louis, Italian meets Greek in a brothers-run tavern still serving up over-the-top eats like the bomb braised beef roulade in a mighty marinara.
