Chef Chuck Hughes is a busy guy. When he isn't juggling the successful restaurant Garde Manger in Montreal, he's cooking for family, friends and restaurant staff in his show, Chuck's Day Off.

But he's finally taking some vacation and headed down to Mexico. With an entire week to work with, he's really looking to spice things up!

Watch Chuck's Week Off: Mexico, tonight at 10:30pm ET on Cooking Channel.

Chuck gives "catch of the day" a whole new meaning when he reels in a massive marlin.
