The whole idea of The Weeping Radish is to take literally everything from the farm to the restaurant table. You'll find a farm, butchery and brewery on the premises, as well as a pub serving comfort foods like a baked-potato soup loaded with cheddar cheese and house-cured bacon.

Located on the beachfront, this is where the locals know to come for fresh locally caught seafood. The Wanchese fisherman's risotto with scallops and shrimp had Guy lickin' his chops. This eatery is also known for its juicy citrus rosemary brine chicken with smoked gouda mash potatoes.

At Ortega'z you'll find south of the border fare with an Outer Banks twist. Guy could not get enough of the "dynamite" fish tacos with sauteed tuna and pico de gallo. The giant soft-shell crab quesadilla and creamy shrimp and chorizo Aalfredo also impressed. Customers enjoy the seafood paella too.

This pub is committed to lessening its carbon footprint and not only sources local seafood and produce but also generate its own power using a wind turbine. Guy was impressed by the shrimp and grits with redeye gravy and sweet potato chips. Locals enjoy a handcrafted beer with their meal.

Cravings may seem like an unintimidating drive-through next to a gas station, but don’t be fooled. It serves what Guy calls “killer seafood.” Try the seared scallops with Lobster lobster sauce and truffle oil, or a traditional Carolina dish – the steamer pot loaded with seafood, corn, sausages, and more.

Eat your cheeseburger with a spoon - cheeseburger soup, that is - at this funky joint run by a mother-daughter duo. With a menu full of hearty comfort foods, you won't leave hungry, especially if you order the 12-ounce Bruiser Burger with blue cheese.

Come hungry to Jimmy's Diner and you'll leave satisfied. Guy thought the skillet apple waffle was "killer" and liked the salty-sweet combination of the pancetta and maple syrup. The spicy salsa verde and golden raisins elevated the empanadas in the Chico Grande plate to a new level according to Guy.

Even with its rock 'n' roll vibe, The Sparrow Tavern has a knack for fresh and healthy bar food. As Guy discovered on Triple D, The Sparrow Tavern has a righteous bacon and Brie burger. For the ultimate twist, try the super moist veggie burger -- the maple cayenne mayo is addictive.

A '50s diner reborn with what Guy called a "scratch cooking gone wild" style, Lake Effect Diner even cures their own ham. Try upscale versions of old classics like blueberry pancakes, or expand your palate with the Italian-style Fish and a side of mac and cheese.

Sophia Ananiadias passed off her restaurant, Sophia's Restaurant, to her son Sam. Together they've been cranking out Greek specials and American classics all by hand. Guy was amazed by the fresh-baked bread used for the fried bologna sandwich stacked a mile high with hot mustard and onions.

Guy hits the Blackthorn Restaurant and Pub in Buffalo, NY, a local Irish watering hole making the home town favorite, a sandwich called 'beef on weck.' Order the Triple D Platter to sample everything that was on the show: the beef on weck, crab cakes and a cup of Irish beer soup with tater tots.

Chef Rudy Acosta has strict instructions from his great grandfather not to mess with any of their Cuban family recipes. The giant serving of arroz con pollo amazed Guy with its savory flavors. He could not get enough of the ropa vieja, a house fave with shredded beef in tomato sauce, beans and rice.

The Rubano family believes in serving only fresh homemade meals to Pit Stop's loyal fans. Guy could not wait to try the hefty Cuban sandwich and enjoyed the pulled pork and Virginia ham inside it. The stuffed spaghetti squash topped with fresh mozzarella and homemade marinara sauce also impressed.

Join host, Guy Fieri, of Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, at Pizza Junction in North Tonawanda, NY, a 37-year-old restaurant turning sandwiches into amazing pizzas.

This 65-year-old Jewish establishment is one of the last kosher delis left in New York City. Guy loved the fried kreplachs, which he described as "Jewish pot stickers." The boiled chicken soup comes with kreplachs as well. He also recommends the tender and juicy stuffed cabbage rolls.
