Here in the vibrant city of San Antonio, food lovers are buzzing with excitement as one local eatery gets another moment under the spotlight thanks to the ever-popular TV personality, Guy Fieri. Fat Tummy Empanadas, a beloved spot in the Alamo City, has once again charmed the famed host, marking its second feature on Fieri’s culinary adventure series. This time, it’s on the Food Network’s “Triple D Nation,” a spin-off from his iconic “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.”
For those who may not be aware, Fat Tummy Empanadas is the brainchild of husband and wife duo, Chef Gustavo Plache and Norah Saleh, who have poured their hearts into serving up delicious Argentinian-style food. This engaging couple first caught Guy Fieri’s attention back in 2018. Their specialties include a tempting range of savory and sweet empanadas, tasty choripan sandwiches, and the ever-popular chimichurri sauce.
Fast forward to 2024, and the restaurant is back in the spotlight as Fieri returned for season 6, episode 4 of “Triple D Nation,” aptly titled “All Dough’ed Up.” The episode aired just last Friday night on the Food Network, and you wouldn’t want to miss the magic that happened! Fieri explored the mouthwatering flavors of the restaurant, notably reminiscing over the highly praised choripan sandwich and the delectable alfajores, which are scrumptious treats composed of two shortbread cookies filled with dulce de leche.
If you’ve ever experienced the heavenly flavors that Fat Tummy Empanadas has to offer, you certainly wouldn’t be surprised by Fieri’s affinity for the spot. During his visit, the enthusiastic host couldn’t help but express his admiration. “You’re the example of the America story,” he said, applauding the restaurant’s success and dedication to bringing a taste of Argentina to San Antonio. “That’s why we do Triple-D.”
