The ingredients at this farm-to-table restaurant are sourced locally. Try the harvested cranberry wild rice bread in the French toast. You’ll find all the American classics and pop culture favorites, such as Korean-style barbecue ribs, pizza and Baja fish tacos, plus a gluten-free selection.

Whether it's the homemade comfort food like pies, pasties or pot roast (made with bison, of course) or the commitment to doing strange things like raising bees on the roof, Duluth Grill makes you take notice. Guy loves their banana cream pie, a not-too-sweet, flaky concoction presented beautifully.

The Nook is a no-fuss burger joint that has mastered the art of stuffed burgers. The Spanish Fly consists of a 50/50 blend of beef and Spanish-spiced pork filled with queso. In honor of Guy, they created Guys Big Bite, a pepper Jack-stuffed burger with bacon, topped with roast beef and cheddar.

Authentic Italian food at a drive-in restaurant is a rarity, but that's exactly what Angela Fida and her family have been doing at Dari-Ette Drive-In for more than 50 years. Angela cooks up fried sausage, meatballs and spaghetti with a sauce that's so secret she won't even tell Guy what's in it.

This spot is a Boston tradition, serving cops, construction workers and even Bill Clinton. Try The Pilgrim Sandwich, which stars a Thanksgiving feast on a massive roll. This beauty comes layered with homemade cranberry sauce, fresh-roasted turkey and savory stuffing topped with herbaceous gravy.

Guy swings by Blunch to sample the gourmet sandwiches that have made it a local favorite. Follow Guy’s lead and devour The Bird, whose seasoned chicken breast is accompanied by mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, artichoke aioli and greens nestled on a baguette. For a vegetarian option, try The Provencal.

At this burger stronghold, Chef Paul Malvone is grilling fresh handmade burgers 28 different ways. The Mac Attack, Guy's favorite, is piled with homemade mac 'n' cheese, bacon and a fresh 8 ounce patty. Locals love the Killer Bee with a stack of onion rings and the Pilgrim with cranberry mayo.

Hidden behind a gas station is a small hole in the wall where Chef Rodrigo Albarran-Torres is using his mother's recipes to cook up some authentic Mexican food. Guy and Joe Theismann, former NFL quarterback, devoured the lamb taco enchiladas and tacos al pastor, praising the balance of flavors.

You can't be afraid to get your hands a little messy at this crab shack. Naturally, Guy's favorite meal here is the traditional Maryland crab feast, but he loved the crab cakes too. Other local favorites include deep-fried crab, cream of crab, crab toast and shrimp stuffed with crab.

As the name suggests, Psycho Suzi's Motor Lounge doesn't play by the rules — and that wasn't a problem for Guy. The food was right up his alley, with beer-battered asparagus and fried cheese curds (and fried mini wieners and Snickers too). But the fried Mini Mex Rolls? Two words: "crazy tasty."

When Guy revisits Al's Breakfast for the second time, he finds the popular spot is "still packed and still run by the king of the joint." Regulars often enjoy Jelly Omelets in the 14-stool classic American eatery. Their short-order style hasn't changed in 60 years, and we don't want it to, either.

Fittingly, Chef Craig Johnson’s first job was slinging hot dogs. He now spends his days creating beyond-basic riffs on sausages as the owner of Prairie Dogs. Johnson delivers a one-two punch of meaty flavor with his Jimmy Two Times creation. He grills housemade Italian sausage in duck fat, then pairs it with jus-drenched slices of Italian beef (also made in-house) on a Vietnamese-style baguette. The sandwich comes smothered with marinara sauce and a giardiniera that Guy declared “the real surprise.”

Andrew Zimmern introduced Guy to this pizzeria. Despite his distaste for eggs, Guy indulged in the Sunnyside pizza. The My Sha-Roni! captured Guy's heart with its pepperoni and Berkshire pork sausage, while the Lady ZaZa with Korean sausage, kimchi and soy chili glaze had "dynamite" flavor.

In downtown Minneapolis, Emily's has been serving family-style Lebanese food for more than 38 years. The signature lamb shish kebab had Guy singing its praises. The kibbi made with raw ground beef and spices was equally delicious — Guy described it as the Lebanese version of steak tartare.

Buster’s on 28th is so beloved that local fans rallied to raise money to rebuild it after the gastropub burned down in 2013. Crowds flock here for the friendly vibe and elevated pub grub like beer-braised brisket. After being hit with a simple rub, the cubed beef is braised in heavy stout, then served on a bun smothered with roasted red pepper cream cheese. “That is fantastic,” Guy said of the dish.
