Guy Fieri

This weekend on Food Network there are a bunch of must-watch episodes including a behind-the-scenes look at Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

Start your Saturday morning with an episode of Giada at Home, where Giada and her aunt Raffy share favorite recipes of Giada's grandfather Dino. Then in the evening it's a special 1-hour episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, offering up an exclusive look at never-before-seen footage of all the antics that didn't make the regular episode cuts.

On Sunday, watch Guy in the kitchen with Chef Jonathan Waxman as the two cook up an Italian menu that includes a seafood salad and a spring soup. After, on Sandwich King, Jeff meets his match, “the Breakfast King,” and learns to make some unique breakfast sandwiches that he'll later adapt. In the evening, tune in to see a cosmic-themed episode of Cupcake Wars. Then it's round 2, battle 1 of the Iron Chef America tournament. And last, watch a new episode of Restaurant: Impossible where Robert must help a family fix their dysfunctional restaurant and relationships.

Giada and her aunt Raffy are teaming up in the kitchen to make some of Giada's grandfather Dino's favorite recipes. There will be some reminiscing and an intimate family dinner that includes Fusilli With Pea Pesto and Smoked Mozzarella, Lemon-Mustard Potato Salad, and Orange, Ricotta and Quinoa Pie.
