Plot Synopsis

COMFORT FOOD TOUR is a half-hour docuseries that follows food lovers Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey, as they embark on an ultimate food tour to discover the most mouthwatering and soul satisfying dishes across America. Eating their way from destination to destination, they try it all -- from juicy burgers that drip down your arm, to homemade cheesy lasagna that makes you feel at home, to sweet-and-savory soul food that make you want to lick your plate. Food Network debuts back-to-back episodes each Saturday night, including the night of the series premiere:

"Tex-Mex to the Max" (8pm): Mark and Ryan pay a visit to The Original Ninfa's on Navigation, a smokin' hot Tex-Mex joint in Houston, Texas, that's home to the very first fajita served in America. They agree this sizzling showstopper is worth its weight in gold. At Moo and Brew in Charlotte, N.C., a burger throwdown finds the pair eating delicious burgers and making their very own burger surprise that earns a spot on the menu. Completing the comfort food trifecta in Miami, Fla., the guys hit up Azucar Ice Cream Company, a one-of-a-kind ice cream shop in Little Havana that's serving up mouth-watering rum-soaked cake topped with homemade Cuban ice cream.

"Ooey, Gooey Goodness" (8:30pm): Mark and Ryan meet up with celebrity chef Eddie Jackson at his eclectic eatery, The Rosehill Beer Garden in Cypress, Texas, to fry up The Morning After Burger. Even though the guys are burger veterans, they can't believe the flavor explosion of this colossal, four-meat creation with a secret beef ingredient. At Bacchanalia, a family-run Italian restaurant in Chicago, they're welcomed into the family kitchen, where they help make a creamy, impossibly cheesy lasagna and tiramisu crafted with love. Heading south, Mark and Ryan check out The Turnhouse Grille in Charlotte, N.C., for perfect pork chops and a sinful apple bread pudding that's off-the-charts amazing.
