Although Pete & Sam's has a loyal following for the toasted ravioli, Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien can't stop dreaming of their pulled pork pizza. Any good Memphis citizen will tell you the South is known for pulled pork, and Pete & Sam's pizza, drizzled in barbecue sauce, is no exception.

Claire Robinson loves the chopped pork barbecue sandwich from Payne's Bar-B-Que. According to Claire, Memphis, Tenn., is the capital of barbecue and nothing beats a pork shoulder that has been roasted low and slow. The yellow mustard sauce and secret barbecue sauce send this sandwich over the edge.

If you're from Memphis, you may have already heard of Alcenia's famous "Cha Cha" cabbage relish or the sweet potato cobbler. Guy swooped in on this mother-daughter operation for Triple D (as did the Neelys). Locals claim it's true Memphis cooking and Guy had this to say: "Mmm, that's good."

When the holidays hit, Claire Robinson wants nothing more than a "hot, yummy, greasy, fattening, killer sandwich." Luckily, The Patterson House's Elvis Panini does the trick with grilled bacon, peanut butter and bananas. For an extra special treat, she'll finish her meal with a Bacon Old Fashioned.

Hog Heaven may be famous for its hand-pulled pork and mouthwatering ribs, but Sunny Anderson found her heavenly bite from the smoked pulled turkey sandwich. The "Kickin' Chicken" white barbecue sauce made with mayo and super-secret spices lends itself perfectly to the turkey -- and everything else.

Raz'z Bar and Grill may be in heart of Nashville, Tenn., but its love of New Orleans and African-style cuisine runs deep.

When he needs a smoky bite, Johnny Iuzzini heads to South Carolina, not for ribs, but for Husk’s cornbread made with bacon bits. This spot and its Tennessee outpost also offer meaty goodness in the form of the Husk Cheeseburger: chuck, flank steak and bacon patties smothered with American cheese.

Alex Guarnaschelli has craved a number of dishes. But while pregnant she craved none other than Charleston's Candy Kitchen caramel apples. Alex claims the apples are "caramely goodness on a stick" as each apple gets dipped inside a magical copper kettle of Charleston's smooth, ooey-gooey caramel.

Surprisingly, the out-of-this-world hot dogs at Jacks' Cosmic Dogs are all made with simple ingredients. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Alton calls the Cosmic Dog the "quintessential slaw dog." Served with blue cheese slaw and a housemade sweet potato mustard, you may just feel over the moon.

When describing Dukes Bar-B-Que hash, Sunny Anderson calls her favorite "soptastic," aka good for sopping. Dukes only uses pork butt for their hash, with a number of secret spices. Once it's stewed, sop it up with bread or rice. Not convinced? Sunny’s tears of joy should be proof enough.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Duff and Beau duel over the best dish at Flo's Clam Shack. Is it the one-and-only fried clam roll with Maine belly clams or is it the super crispy (and tender) fish and chips? One is buttery and the other crunchy love. Guess that means you should order both.

Anthony's Pizza & Grille is known for its Brooklyn-style pizza. But Curtis Stone devoured their Butterfinger Rum Cake from their other operation, Scrumptious Gourmet Rum Cakes. By using the perfect blend of spiced rum, liqueurs and toppings, these cakes come out super moist and super scrumptious.
