Louisville, Kentucky

Overview

Joel gallops into the Derby City--Louisville, Kentucky--and pairs up with three-time James Beard semi-finalist, Anthony Lamas, to create a menu with food usually tossed in the trash. Their search for scrappy ingredients takes them to a watermelon farm to learn the untold secrets of melon harvesting, and behind the counter in a classic ice cream scoop shop. With rinds and peels in hand, Joel and Anthony create a new version of southern BBQ. But can they convince the most sophisticated and discriminating taste buds in the Bluegrass State--local bourbon experts and sommeliers--that their scrappy dinner is the winning bet?
