When Deviled Pigs Fly is the fourteenth episode of the third season of the hit food show, Big Food Bucket List. Hosted by food enthusiast and travel writer, John Catucci, the show follows his adventures across North America in search of the most outrageous and delicious eats.
In this episode, John travels to Memphis, Tennessee, a city renowned for its rich barbecue culture. Here, he visits a restaurant called Hog's Fly, which is known for their unique take on a classic Southern dish: deviled eggs.
But Hog's Fly doesn't just do deviled eggs - they also serve up a dish that's become somewhat of a sensation in Memphis: deviled pig wings. These unconventional wings are made from pork shanks that have been trimmed down to resemble chicken wings. The shanks are then seasoned with a dry rub and smoked to perfection before being tossed in a tangy, spicy devil sauce.
John is eager to try these deviled pig wings for himself, and he's not disappointed. The meat is tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. He also tries some of Hog's Fly's other dishes, including smoked pork belly and a brisket sandwich.
Next, John heads to Hot Springs, Arkansas, where he discovers a restaurant called The Ohio Club that's been around since the days of prohibition. The Ohio Club has a legendary reputation for its burgers, so John can't resist trying their famous Hangover Burger. This massive burger is piled high with bacon, eggs, hash browns, and cheese - everything you need to cure a hangover.
But The Ohio Club isn't just known for its burgers - it's also famous for being a former hangout spot for gangsters like Al Capone and Bugsy Siegel. John gets a history lesson from the restaurant's owner, who tells him about the speakeasy that used to operate in the basement during prohibition.
Finally, John heads to St. Louis, Missouri, where he visits the iconic Blueberry Hill restaurant. Blueberry Hill has been around for over 40 years and is famous for its burgers, but John has his sights set on something else: the fried chicken and waffle sandwich.
This sandwich is a behemoth - a massive piece of fried chicken sandwiched between two waffles and topped with syrup and butter. John is amazed by how well the sweet and savory flavors work together, and he can barely finish the whole thing.
Throughout the episode, John is blown away by the creativity and passion of the chefs he meets. He learns about the history and culture of each city he visits and takes viewers on a culinary adventure that they won't soon forget. Whether you're a foodie or just love to eat, When Deviled Pigs Fly is a must-watch episode of Big Food Bucket List.
