Plot Synopsis

Celebrity chef Curtis Stone travels across the United States to get an insider's tour of some of the best waterfront restaurants and kitchens in the world, as he showcases the ultimate collection of beachside bites -- from a buttery hogfish sandwich to a smoky, bacon-filled, grilled oyster dish. In BEACH EATS USA, Curtis tests his adventurous side including zip-lining, paddle boarding and helicopter riding his way to discover tasty spots serving up delicious bites on America's most beautiful beaches. In Malibu, Curtis tastes paella cooked right on the sand giving a new meaning to surf-n-turf, while in Key West, Curtis enjoys melt-in-your-mouth chicken tacos on an oceanside boardwalk. On Hilton Head Island, Curtis finds incredible crispy fried green tomatoes stuffed with goat cheese in the ultimate dockside dining experience, and on the gulf shores of Alabama, he dives into a never-before-seen crab and bacon combo.
