Loyal fans line up at Drew Pumphrey’s mobile food truck to get their fill of his smoked specialties like short ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. A favorite sandwich is The Carolina: Boneless pork butt is hit with a brown sugar dry rub, smoked for 12 hours, then doused with a spicy barbecue sauce that has Guy hooked. A topping of homemade slaw laced with chipotle powder adds kick to the bite.

Crowds flock here for the decadent eats that reflect the Southern-inspired vision of late owner Eddie Dopkin (his son continues the dream). Guy favors Chef Brigitte Bledsoe’s French toast: Slabs of challah bread come stuffed with a rich coconut filling made from a mascarpone-and-cream-cheese base. Prefer something savory? Try the Southern Slammer Sandwich featuring fried green tomato, applewood-smoked bacon, mashed avocado, cheddar and a fried egg piled on pumpernickel bread.

Almost everything at this husband and wife-run restaurant is "so local, it comes from the same address." The hot-sauce jelly beans in the pork loin kamatsu salad provide the dish with a good amount of heat, according to Guy. Locals also enjoy the huge braised-beef panini made with fresh baked bread.

At this creative breakfast and lunch joint, chef-owner Tim Burke serves over-the-top dishes like the Toro Loco Burger: two patties stacked on a bed of arugula, topped with sriracha aioli, jalapeno sour cream aioli, a patty of fried pepper jack cheese and onion rings breaded with flaming-hot Cheetos.

With a recipe dating back to 1956, JT Farnham's holds the key to delicious fried clams. By frying locally caught whole-belly clams to "just beyond canary yellow" it's amassed a huge fan base. For newcomers, try the Fisherman's Combo with everything from fish to fries and, of course, fried clams.

Start your day with a tasty breakfast at the eclectic Little Depot Diner, an old lunch car turned diner, which once had wheels under the entire place. Try the Meatloaf and Eggs or French Canadian Creton, a pork and spice spread perfect for enjoying on crackers or with the curried Mulligatawny Soup.

Trina’s Starlite Lounge brings a Southern splash to the East Coast. Their best seller is the fried chicken and buttermilk waffles with hot pepper syrup. Don’t miss their homemade Tater Tots with rosemary garlic aioli and Parm. These soft and crunchy tots get Guy’s stamp of approval.

Jay Holmes loved going to diners as a child, so he jumped at the chance to restore an old Delaware diner and transport it up to Somerville, Mass. Now it's rechristened Kelly's Diner and dishing out New England classics. This place is seriously legendary: it was the first diner Guy ever visted on Triple D. Guy felt the lobster roll was just right: lots of lobster and not too much mayo.

This inventive pizza shop uses beer to make their dough instead of water, which gives each slice a soft inside and a perfectly crispy outside. Plus, they’re topping pies with unusual combos. Their Taco Pizza is layered with taco meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and crushed nacho cheese chips and is finished with a sour cream swirl. Guy loved the combo so much, he couldn’t help but immediately get his son Ryder on the phone to tell him about it. “He’s going to lose his mind on this one,” Guy said.

Cafe Polonia is a real-deal Polish joint where everything is cooked the proper way. They serve all the traditional Polish dishes, like their handmade meat pierogi that Guy says will change the way you think about these bites. Also have a taste of the Knight’s Cutlet, which is a stuffed pork loin.

Nestled in the financial district of Boston, Casa Razdora is where locals go for real-deal Italian food. Guy recommends the porcini cascioni, which has an “outrageous” filling with sausage, gorgonzolaGorgonzola, button mushrooms, and porcini mushrooms. Another must-try is the rosettes, a ham-and-cheese pasta.

The lobster here is extra fresh especially because the water for the aquariums is pumped directly from the ocean. The lobster mac 'n' cheese Guy called "ridiculous," while the cod cakes tasted like the "perfect storm." Locals like the crab and other seafood-inspired dishes as well.

Eastside Fish Fry & Grill is known for its amazing chicken wings, prepared with a 48-hour dry rub marinade and fried to order. The adventurous can also find local delicacies like crispy fried gizzards and pig skins, aka deep-fried bacon strips.

For otherworldly pizza with the freshest mozzarella you can get head to Cosmos. Owner Sam Short was inspired by the pizza parlor he visited with his father as a kid. He infused the casual, fun atmosphere with some seriously delicious pies. Try any of their creative offerings or opt for the “Trust Us” and let them bring out a surprise offering that will wow you.

In an odd location, inside of a cellular store, Chef and Owner Linh Lee and Co-Owner Regan Louchart are fusing their two cultures together for a truly unique dining experience. The Brisket Bahn Mi is a combination of meltingly tender smoked brisket and the classic banh mi toppings like pickled daikon, cucumber and cilantro.
