By now Mr. Chow's Asian cuisine has graced New York, London, Beverly Hills and Miami, to name a few. The stunning decor mirrors the menu where Chuck Hughes, host of Chuck's Day Off, says the diced squab lettuce cups are magical. Meanwhile locals perform disappearing acts with the chicken satay.

On Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Claire Robinson's favorite is Jimmy's Favorite, a Reuben with potato latke, corned beef and melted swiss at Jimmy & Drew's in Boulder, CO.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Fried, Alex calls Rawley's Drive-In her place for a deep-fried meal. Rawley's signature deep-fried hot dogs have a long-standing fan base, too. For the ultimate bite, get "The Works," which Alex says includes the perfect duo of fried foods: bacon and hot dogs.

On Triple D, Benny's Mofongo caught Guy off guard. Mofo what? The Mofongo dish is a Puerto Rican favorite and now, Guy's too, as he added it to The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Made with mashed-up plantains, fried pork skin and then muddled with a baseball bat, this dish is a home run.

When Claire Robinson wants an all-in-one brunch that will satisfy her for the rest of the day, she goes to Table 6 and orders a Haute Pocket. The deep-fried delight is filled with eggs, pancetta, steak, cheddar and onions. A garlic-Sriracha mayo gives a spicy kick to the pocket.

The trick to Colt & Gray's infamous sticky toffee pudding comes from adding the sauce three times to the dish. For Claire Robinson, it's all about the "oozy world" made from the toffee sauce and bourbon ice cream. For a savory pairing, start with the scrumptious gougeres dusted with blue cheese.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, street food fanatic Susan Feniger hails the Elk Jalapeno Cheddar Bratwurst from Biker Jim. Sure it comes from a hot dog cart, but the bratwurst (cream cheese added by caulking gun) is entirely mouthwatering. Beyond elk, how about buffalo, wild boar, pheasant or yak?

Alton's favorite smoked fish isn't necessarily business in the front and party in the back. Instead, at Ted Peters Famous Smokehouse, the mullet, smoked in red oak, simply tastes like heaven. Guy visited, too, witnessing the 56-year-old method for making the legendary mahi-mullet fish spread.

The crowds flock here for the steaks that are aged for five weeks and simply seasoned with salt and pepper. It’s the Chocolate Macadamia Decadence Cake, however, that Anne Burrell can’t resist. Milk and dark chocolates combine to make a rich batter that’s balanced by a crunchy nut crust and bright raspberry sauce.

Al-Noor's basic storefront proves you can't judge a book by its cover. According to our own Eric Greenspan, Al-Noor’s garlic naan "takes you to a whole new world." Locals agree the garlic naan is killer. You can't go wrong by dipping it in their creamy chicken tikka masala.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Michael Chiarello takes a trip back home to his favorite bakery. Packed to the brim with croissants, cakes, cookies and more, The Model Bakery has become a model for all other English muffins. As Chiarello says, this larger-than-life English muffin is unlike any other.

John Besh hates to admit it, but the steak frites at Solbar in Calistoga, California, might be better than France's, and with Wagyu beef, rich bordelaise sauce and expertly crisp frites, you can see why. But Solbar's seasonal menu is not all French but instead a cuisine called California Soul Food.

For Jeff Henderson of The Chef Jeff Project, it's just not Thanksgiving until he gets his Sweet Potato Cheesecake from Harriet's Cheesecakes. As Jeff says, this must-try cheesecake is not your typical sweet potato pie. For a doubly sweet deal, try the Praline Cheesecake topped with caramel drizzle.

Located on the California coast, Fish is a sustainable seafood eatery that sources its fare straight from the bay. Tyler Florence loves the Dungeness crab roll. The "delicious, fresh and moist" crab is flavored with butter and chives and then placed into a sourdough roll. Tyler says it's "insane."

Tyler Florence picks Cafe Fanny, in Berkeley, CA, for their local and seasonal menu on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate.
