Guy Fieri Eats Chicken Parm & a 10-OZ. MEATBALL in Utah | Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives | Food Network

So I’m here at Salt Lake City Utah right on Main Street about four blocks from state capital to check out a joint where an East Coast transplant SL snowboarder bartender is open up a joint where he’s serving his grandma’s recipes this is Maxwell’s East Coast eery four cheese ravioli in the window

Donny rco with meatballs scale of 1 to 10 I would rate this place as an 11 pry salad it’s got that home home style cooking to it flavors Jersey born Steven Maxwell started serving when he opened in 2008 how’d you get here I went to Park City and planned on ending for a

Winter and I just never left that was it that was it how good is this Italian I don’t know what’s going on here but it’s it’s an infusion of good stuff that I love and I just want to get more of it Philly cheese steak lasagna yo chicken

Par in the window love the chicken parm big thick pieces of white chicken there’s nothing like it in the state of Utah that’s because the sauce that kicks at all is no Utah native what are we making today we’re making mom’s gravy who moms my grandmother I don’t see it

Everywhere else but New Jersey I see it people call tomato sauce on Sunday is called gravy great all right let’s hit it we’re going to sauté a little olive oil with fresh onion roasted garlic okay we’re just going to add our San Marzano tomatoes are you going to marry these

Back and forth to rinse them out I’ll do the real deal there we go it’s like the Bucket Brigade all the cans are washed out some paste now now we’re going to add our dry ingredients sugar salt pepper dried parsley dried parsley and and the mother load of Basil fresh basil how

Long we going to let this cook 6 8 hours and when this reduced this down we’re going to hit it with an immersion blender exactly so tell me what makes great chicken parmesan we use panko breadcrumbs instead of just regular Italian breadcrumbs okay it’s a little bit lighter it’s going to keep the

Chicken a little bit crispier so this is a millon breast so you cut the breast down are you pounding these first we are going to pound them awesome like lightly Max you know the old concept wet hand dry hand yes avoid Frankenstein fingers is that right where’d you get

That that’s what we call them in my family oh really yeah what we’ll do is we’ll Brown it off both sides we’ll put it onto a tin and we’ll cover it with a mozzarella preone mixture and then we’ll bake it off in the oven melt it

Up put a little bit of mum’s gravy in a pan take our homemade fetuccini down into the water give it a little stir stick okay sauce is hot drain our pasta whoa chicken farms out then we’ll plate it up and next time in Salt Lake City come on down for The Lumberjack

Special dude you’re toing with some cheese finish with a little parsley there you go pleas put on my MooMoo this is how your grandma would make it when you were a kid this is how she make it the slow cook gravy homemade pasta chicken parm thick breading melted cheese

But that’s about as real deal as you’re going to get it man niely done right on nicely done chicken fan it’s great food hearty all the recipes basically come from your childhood yes back to my grandma’s house back to your grandma’s house her restaurant was open in the 30s and the

40s but it was the front of their house like a lot of immigrants all of us all the kids learned how to roll pasta make raviolis noi and Grandma’s recipe for a mansiz meatball spaghetti 10 oz meatball I’m a little bit intimidated by that meatball it’s really big I don’t know if I’m

Going to be able to eat all that making a 10 oz meatball a what 10 oz meatball starts at 12 Cooks down to 10 that’s how your grandmother used to make it no she made me make the little tiny ones but I’d always want to make a big one all

Right let’s get into this all right pepper parsley crushed red kosher salt oregano basil finish it off with Parmesan cheese all the dry comes together sitting over here we have 8020 ground and Italian sausage right okay start by adding our eggs drop our Dy what’s the show little water for

Moisture okay fresh bread crumbs and we’re mixing this all up like a gigantic tartar salad okay now how good are you at grabbing the 12 oun of meat takes years to practice I bet it does hang on how close do you think you are I’m

Pretty close going for 12 oz where we at 10 that’s not 10 you’re looking down at it that’s 12 oh that’s that’s look over there pretty bird I got to go after that 12 could be a bit heavy but let’s see camera shows it at 12 you know what I’ll be here all

  1. I was born and raised in Tucson Arizona and my family used to eat at a restaurant called Vince’s on Speedway Blvd just east of Swan Rd. Best meatballs I’ve ever had. Old school Italian restaurant about two blocks from home. 😊

  2. I love ❤️ guy, so funny & so perfect for this show. Look at that pretty bird…..hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  3. I love that Steven didn't put the sauce on the chicken before he put it in the oven and just used it for the pasta. That way the chicken can stay crispy and not get soggy, I'll definitely start doing my chicken parmesan like that from now on 🤤🤤🤤🤤

  4. Chicken Parmesan is one of those easy meals, that are easy to make badly. Easy is hard in a lot of fields. The easy leaves very little room for making a mistake.

  5. Funny story a friend of mine told me, so i am not sure if this is true or not. But here goes.

    Story is that he went in with some army buddies into a local Italian restaurant, as in it was in Italy. My friend asked the owner, who always liked talking to the customers for spaghetti and meatballs. The chef/owner, said "you want a meat ball?" My friend replied "yeah, spaghetti and meatballs." The owner asked again, "you want one meatball or how many you want?" My friend said "3 should be fine, i'm not that hungry."

    The chef/owner went into the back and started cooking. Came out later with what my friend described as "a bed of spaghetti with marinara sauce, and three meatballs the size of meatloaves." This episode reminded me that a meatball came be many sizes, and you should know how big they are going to be, BEFORE you order. ^-^

  6. The force is strong with my boy Guy when it comes to the scale ! Has anyone ever tested him 😮 not to my recollection 😅

  7. DDD rules with places like this.. great comfort food, nobody's trying to fusion bits of trendy stuff just to charge $30 a plate of nonsense…props also to NJ I grew up there

  8. No sound or picture 📍
    It has been 12 hours since communications and the Internet were completely cut off in the Gaza Strip 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸free palastine

  9. If that Giant Meatball was entirely Ground Meat with Bread Crumbs it would be impossible to Eat but Adding the Sausage Gives it Flavor and Texture.

  10. Is this guy from Portland Maine originally? That's how we do it up here in Portland Maine too with the meatball and the chicken parm. Delish
