Plot Synopsis

NO-RECIPE ROAD TRIP WITH THE TRY GUYS is a one-hour reality series that follows The Try Guys -- Ned Fulmer, Keith Habersberger, Zach Kornfeld and Eugene Lee Yang -- as they re-create signature menu items in restaurants across the country. And the final dishes are all over the map. In each 60-minute episode, the guys hit a new city and visit two local establishments where each must attempt to make the restaurant's best-known dish with no recipe or instruction. In the end, the Try Guy with the most successful dish as determined by a local chef and guest judge wins and gets the chance to have their dish put on the restaurant's menu. Kicking off in Nashville, the series also visits Los Angeles, Charleston, Atlanta and Santa Barbara.

In the series opener, "Los Angeles: Tamales and Donuts," The Try Guys return to Los Angeles, where guest judge Kalen Allen critiques two very LA cooking challenges. First, they unwrap the secrets of tamales for James Beard-winning chef Christy Vega at her famous celebrity-hang Casa Vega. Then, they jump out of the frying pan and into the fryer with Executive Chef Erica Viramontes to get on the menu at Sidecar Doughnuts.
