If you are as big a fan of Hell’s Kitchen as I am, then this news may make your day. Gordon Ramsay is looking to change up the world of airport grub by expanding to more airports across the globe.

Ramsay said in a statement, “Plane Food To Go is a truly revolutionary concept that will roll out worldwide and build upon the massive success of the original Plane Food dining experience from Heathrow T5. As someone who is in a different airport terminal every week, I know first hand how much Plane Food To Go will enhance every on-the-go traveler’s dining experience.”

Eight years ago, he opened up Gordon Ramsay Plane Food in London's Heathrow airport. But according to Eater, that may change sooner than we think. Travelers obsessed with plane food likely rave about Ramsay’s sit-down options, which include burrata salads, salt-and-pepper squid, and short rib beef burger. Or they’re big on his grab-and-go options.

Those who rave about food in the airport may not sound so crazy after all...

From Corner Taqueria to Multi-Million Dollar Tortilla Powerhouse + Recipes

Photo Credit: La Tortilla Factory

It’s inevitable, the world is attempting to become healthier by the minute. Halo Top has taken the ice cream world by storm. Just a week or. so ago Chipotle’s famous tortillas went “preservative free” - and even celebrity chefs like Rick Bayless and major food corporations are aiming to bring a new breed of “heirloom corn” tortillas into the foodie scene.

But there was always La Tortilla Factory [latortillafactory.com/] - the very first fat free flour and low carb tortilla, and first to market with a complete line of tortillas that were both organic and Non GMO project verified products. La Tortilla Factory is now run by third generation Tamayo family members leading a 300-person, multi-million dollar operation. And their commitment to making a better, healthier tortilla has never been stronger - from tiny mexicatessen to industry leader.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo hitting next week, we snatched some of the best recipes from La Tortilla Factory to help celebrate the big day.

Photo Credit: La Tortilla Factory

Slow Cooker Carnitas Street Tacos La Tortilla Factory's Recipe Team writes, “Traditionally, carnitas are an indulgent treat of pork shoulder braised in pork fat. This slow cooker version trims the fat considerably, while broiling the finished meat is a smart way to crisp it without frying. Use any type of beer — Mexican lager, amber or dark beer — that you’d enjoy sipping with these tacos! This recipe is well worth the effort, since it yields plenty of leftovers for dinner another night. Or double up on the tortillas and toppings to serve a crowd.”

Prep time: 30 minutes | Cook time: 8 hours, 6 minutes

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons salt

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons dried oregano

2 teaspoons chipotle chile powder

1 (3- to 4-pound) pork shoulder (Boston butt)

6 garlic cloves, crushed

1 orange, quartered

2 bay leaves

1 (12-ounce) bottle or can of beer

Pickled Onions:

1 medium red onion, very thinly sliced

1/2 cup fresh lime juice

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon sugar

Remaining ingredients:

1 teaspoon peanut oil

1 package La Tortilla Factory Hand Made Style White Corn Tortillas, Street Taco Size

1/2 cup shredded cabbage

1 thinly sliced radish

1/4 cup Mexican crema

1/4 cup (2 ounces) crumbled cotija

Cilantro leaves

1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

Jarred roasted tomato salsa, for garnish

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, cumin, oregano and chipotle chile powder thoroughly. Rub about half of the spice mixture into the pork shoulder on all sides. Place the coated pork into the slow cooker. Add garlic cloves, orange, bay leaves and beer. Sprinkle remaining rub over pork. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.

To prepare pickled onions: Place onion in a jar or other nonreactive container. Combine lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and sugar; pour over onion, pressing with a spoon to make sure onion slices are all wet and submerged. Cover and refrigerate while pork cooks, pressing the onions down occasionally.

Once the pork is done, remove it from the cooker and shred 1 1/2 cups of meat. (Cool remaining pork to room temperature, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months.)

Preheat broiler to HIGH. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with peanut oil. Spread shredded carnitas over baking sheet in a single layer. Broil 3-4 minutes, or until the surface is crispy and beginning to char in spots.

Warm tortillas on a hot griddle or directly over a gas flame, flipping as they begin to bubble. Divide the broiled carnitas evenly among tortillas. Top with pickled onions, shredded cabbage, radish slices, crema, cheese and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and salsa.

Moroccan Spiced Fish Tacos

Jenny Tamayo, Marketing Specialist at La Tortilla Factory, and third generation Tamayo family member said, “A few years ago, I traveled to Morocco and basically had my mind blown on many different levels. I haggled my way to a few bags of spices from the markets of Marrakesh, and together with the culinary team here at the factory, we created these delicious Moroccan Spiced Fish Tacos as tribute to my time in Africa.”

Prep time: 30 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

4 medium tomatoes, seeds removed, diced

2 cucumbers, seeds removed, diced

1 white onion, diced

4 sprigs fresh oregano, leaves removed, minced

3 medium lemons, juiced, saving one for the blended dressing

3 sprigs flat leaf parsley

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons wine vinegar

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

2 pounds wild king salmon fillet, skinned and deboned

1/2 cup harissa spice (available at most specialty grocery stores)

Kosher salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons of olive oil for searing

8 ounce container of plain hummus

2 packages of La Tortilla Factory Hand Made Style Tortillas, Yellow or White Corn

1 small head of red cabbage, shredded

Garnish ideas: Greek yogurt

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, oregano and the juice of two lemons. In a blender or bowl, blend or whisk the juice of one lemon, parsley, garlic, wine vinegar, olive oil and salt; feel free to add more olive oil or vinegar to your preferred taste and consistency. Add the dressing to the salad, sprinkle with feta cheese, toss and set aside.

Line two cookie sheets with foil (for easy clean-up). Generously salt the salmon and cut it into evenly sized pieces that are easy to flip with a spatula. Place the cut fillets on to one of the cookie sheets. Coat fillets with harissa spice on both sides. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan and sear each piece for 5-7 minutes on each side until blackened, placing the finished pieces on to the other cookie sheet. The inside should be light pink, but not raw in the middle. If the inside of the salmon is too raw, you can finish them off in the oven for a few minutes at 350 degrees. Let salmon rest a few minutes before lightly breaking it apart with a fork.

Heat tortillas on an open gas flame, flipping once or twice to warm and soften, working towards slight burn marks on both sides; or warm tortillas on both sides on a hot skillet. Wrap tortillas in a kitchen cloth to keep from getting cold. To build your taco, place a tortilla on a flat work surface and smear with hummus; top with salmon chunks, shredded cabbage, Mediterranean salad and a dollop of Greek yogurt. Fold in half and love!

Number of Servings: 6

Per Taco:

Calories: 300 | Total fat: 14 grams | Total carbohydrates: 22 grams | Dietary fiber: 3 grams | Protein: 22 grams

What’s the first thing you think of when you picture Vinny Guadagnino? Yes, we’re thinking good looks too. But we’re really thinking food.

Like us, you’re probably thinking how does he switch gears from the Jersey Shore days to a cooking show? Well, we had the chance to get the scoop from Vinny himself.

To give you some background, Vinny Guadagnino, most well known for his hit reality show, "The Jersey Shore" joined by his mom, Paola will be hitting TV screens on January 31st via The Cooking Channel to premiere their new show “Vinny and Ma Eat America". What’s the premise of the show? Vinny Guadagnino's mom, Paola, is the best cook in their big Italian family, but the problem is she only cooks and eats Italian. Now, Vinny is taking his Ma across the country on a culinary road trip of a lifetime, to taste and discover delicious food she's never tried before. No passport is needed on this trip -- this mother and son adventure is all about eating America!

L25: How did you come up with the concept for this show?

VG: My mom is an amazing Italian cook. Everyone saw her on TV bringing me and my castmates trays of baked ziti like it was nothing. The only problem is she’s never really ventured outside of her own kitchen and tried new things. This concept was my fun way to celebrate food with her while also getting her out of her shell, and taking her on the food road trip of a lifetime.

L25: Will any other past Jersey Shore cast members show up in future episodes?

VG: We didn’t really hit any of the cities where my cast mates live this time, but if we do more episodes and go to their cities, they are definitely showing up. They love my mom more than me!

L25: What kind of food do you eat along your journey?

VG: We really try to get my mom out of her comfort zone and ask her to try new things. So there definitely are some bizarre foods such as Rocky Mountain Oysters, Ethiopian cuisine, insects, alligator, and much more. But it also isn’t hard to shock my mom. She’s never had Ranch dressing, so they aren’t all torturous dishes. We hit up a wide variety of delicious treats along the way.

L25: What was your favorite stop?

VG: My favorite stop was probably catching my own fish in Atlanta and cooking it riverside. I’m into eating fresh food and you can’t get fresher than that. It was also hilarious watching my mom go fly fishing.

L25: And your moms?

VG: My mom was a huge fan of Nashville hot chicken.

L25: Do you have any unique recipes you can share with us?

VG: My mom doesn’t tell anyone her recipes. I always say that she’s going to have the worst cookbook. It will list a few ingredients and then be a bunch of blank pages. But in her defense, she doesn’t really measure anything out.

Be sure to tune into “Vinny and Ma Eat America” on The Cooking Channel January 31st! We’ll definitely be watching.
