Friends of Fieri: Noah Cappe continues Guy Fieri’s search for the best bites around
When Fieri calls, Cappe answers: joining Guy Fieri’s (“Diners, Drive-ins and Dives”) never-ending search for the greatest eats around, celebrity chef Noah Cappe (“Carnival Eats”) takes the wheel of the all-new series, “Best Bite in Town,” premiering Friday, April 12, on Food Network.
“For years, I’ve been rollin’ out to towns big and small lookin’ for joints serving up amazing dishes. But no matter how many miles I put on the Camaro, I just can’t fit ‘em all into ‘DDD.’ So I’ve called in my buddy Noah Cappe and the Bite Club to help me out, and they are hittin’ the road to find some killer small-town dishes on their own,” said Fieri, introducing his flame-lovin’ fans to his latest (shared) endeavor.
Joined by Tiffani Faison (“Chopped”), Shota Nakajima (“Top Chef ”), Joe Sasto (“Best Bite in Town”), Aarti Sequeira (“Aarti Party”), Jet Tila (“Cutthroat Kitchen”) and other Food Network stars — who make up the newly dubbed “Bite Club” — Cappe will travel from location to location, checking out two of Fieri’s restaurant picks at each and every stop.
“From indulging in Banh Mi in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to savoring an authentic sushi experience in Davis, California, and enjoying oysters in Placerville, California, [the Bite Club] is on the hunt for the most amazing local dish,” the network explains. “Together, they explore the local food scene in cities across the country, visiting six of the most popular spots in each one. After scouring the town and tasting a wide variety of cuisines, Noah and the Bite Club nominate three exceptional dishes to present to a panel of esteemed culinary judges to determine the Best Bite In Town.”
Newly appointed to the “Flavortown city council,” Cappe couldn’t contain his excitement for the upcoming series, sharing: “This series is a whole new ride with every episode culminating in a flavor-packed showdown highlighting the epic eats that these communities are serving up. “It’s more than just finding the best bite in town,” he says. “It’s about celebrating the heart and flavor of each community,” From Knuckle Sandwich and Citizen Pictures, “Best Bite in Town” premieres Friday, April 12, on Food Network.
