Having a Greek-American background, Cat Cora finds comfort in the classic beef and lamb gyro from Keifer's. The slices of beef and lamb are wrapped up in pita bread with tomatoes, tzatziki, onions and lettuce for a delicious treat. Cat likes to order extra feta dressing on the side.

The Comeback Sauce has kept Cat Cora coming back to this Greek-inspired cafe since she was a young girl. While the sauce is supposed to be a salad dressing, Cat spreads it on everything from shrimp to saltines. Diners like ordering the signature redfish and smothering it with the famous sauce.

Rahm Fama grew up on the Frito Pie from Five & Dime General Store and he still eats it religiously today. The dish consists of corn chips, which are topped with New Mexico Chili, cheese and onions. Rahm loves the spicy and earthy flavors from the chili and gooey cheese; a perfect childhood memory.

Open since 1944, The Pink Adobe is a Santa Fe institution. Take Rahm Fama's advice. For a true Santa Fe staple, order his favorite: Steak Dunigan.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Claire Robinson names Bobby's Buffalo Style Burger with blue cheese and buffalo sauce as one of her favorites. She cautions that you must order it crunchified (with potato chips) to get the full effect. For just the classic American cheese setup, try the Crunchburger.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Judy Joo calls The Lovin' Oven's chocolate caramel salt tart with layers of caramel and silky ganache "sinfully decadent." But don't be fooled: The Lovin' Oven is known for its local and seasonal farmhouse menu, served inside a cafe as cozy as its name.

Chef Paul Bartolotta knows his Italian. As a James Beard Award winner he demands his dishes use fresh seafood flown in from the Mediterranean every day. Bobby Flay pleads for a bigger bowl of his Lasagnette con Ragu di Crostacei appetizer on The Best Thing I Ever Ate. One bite and you'll beg too.

For a meal you can eat with one hand (and maybe in less than 5 minutes), Aaron McCargo, Jr. ventures to Panzarotti Pizza King. Best described as a mix between a calzone and turnover, panzarotti are made of dough stuffed with delicious pepperoni and sausage and fried to a "crispy pocket of love."

Bet on Bobby Flay's classic Southwestern cuisine, like the Chipotle Glazed Rib-Eye with Red and Green Chile, at Mesa Grill in Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, NV. Chef Michael Symon admitted he can't resist the Tiger Shrimp Roasted Garlic Corn Tamales here. Luckily, Mesa Grill is also in New York.

If you're in Las Vegas, Eric Greenspan knows a place for a guaranteed win: Mr. Lucky's. As a 24/7 restaurant, you can step in any time of day. But if you want a real jackpot, order the Gambler's Special that comes with three giant shrimp, an 8-ounce steak, mashed potatoes and salad, all for $7.77.
