Show-Me State showstoppers include classic toasted ravioli, a vegan chicken sandwich that doesn't call fowl, and a lauded chef's fried bologna bliss.
Heeding the call of low country cooking, Daym digs into a deep-fried chicken potpie, a fried catfish and collard taco, and a famed fish sandwich.
Jackpot! Vegas spots are treating high rollers to the freshest fried flavors, whether it's salmon-skin tacos, street noodles or a gold-dusted burger.
In the Charm City, Daym gets cracking with crispy lobster fingers, a colossal crab sandwich and a seafood queen's prized crab cakes and rockfish.
Juicy rib-eye kicks off a sunny search for the perfect bite. Later, Daym savors deep-fried saltwater taffy and a chicken and waffle combo that sings.
The fun fries keep coming as Daym has a ball trying Rocky Mountain oysters, a Monte Cristo dog with turducken sausage, and sublime hogfish and lumpia.
The sweetest meat sends Daym up the mountain, to a country club and out to a soul food picnic on a quest for pig candy and deep-fried pork chops.
Cleveland rocks — with Polish boys, pierogies, deep-fried cheesesteak, and mac and cheese topped with crispy burnt ends. The best bite's in sight.
