Consider this: A hoagie stuffed with falafel, an omelet, gooey cheese, grilled peppers and then drizzled with a generous serving of Sriracha. For Robert, this hoagie seen on The Best Thing I Ever Ate was an unforgettable, hidden treasure. But here's a hint: between 31st and 32nd streets on Ludlow.

Philadelphia may not be Crepe City, but Creperie Beau Monde definitely makes crepes worthy of France. Co-owner Jim Caiola studied crepe making in Brittany, France, and his aunt and uncle also crafted their recipe from their native Brittany. The result? One of Alton’s favorite wrapped foods.

Eating mashed potatoes is second nature for Robert Irvine. But Parc Brasserie's have to be his favorite. They're silky-smooth, and when paired with the 1/2 Roast Chicken they're "sheer genius." But before savoring the mashed pommes de terre, try the Warm Shrimp Salad with lemon beurre blanc.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Esquire Food Editor Ryan D'Agostino says to try Kanella's Cyprus Breakfast for the ultimate morning meal. Sweet lovers can look to the beloved bureki phyllo pastry drizzled with thyme honey. But the Cyprus, with its crunchy fried egg and lounza ham, is "salty goodness."

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.

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.

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.

Served warm, not cold, and with perfect tanginess, the Dolmades Yialantzi at Agnanti Restaurant has become a go-to dish for Alex Guarnaschelli. Like the dolmades, Agnanti is known for re-creating true Constantinople classics like fire-roasted eggplant spread, grilled octopus and swordfish kebabs.

Michael Symon judges a diner by its corned beef hash and for him, the best corned beef hash is at Big Al's. The hole-in-the-wall diner serves its "magic on a plate" with fresh green peppers, crispy corned beef and a side of potatoes. For more home cooking try the local favorite, liver and onions.

Susan Feniger is a kid again when she samples the savory Fried Bologna Sandwich from Andre's Lounge in Toledo, OH, on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate.

Put on your berets and head to Vin Rouge for the ultimate French guilty pleasure: Gratin de Macaroni. Alex Guarnaschelli called the macaroni dish "magnifique," not only for its house-smoked bacon and handfuls of gruyere but for the cheese crust you'll need to crack to get into the creamy pasta.

What flows through the river of Flavortown? Guy says it's the Bar-B-Q Chicken at Bar-B-Q King. On The Best Thing I Ever Ate and Triple D, he chows down on their chicken that's been fried and then dunked in their famous barbecue sauce. It's nothing short of a tried-and-true recipe from 1959.

Rachael Ray grew up on the pizza at Harvest, and even though she's met all the world's great chefs, she still insists no one makes a better pie. Owner Phil Hart returned the love by adding "The Rachael Ray" to the menu, which is topped with hot cherry peppers, green peppers and onions.

On The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Geoffrey Zakarian couldn't wait for Charlie the Butcher's Beef on Weck roast beef sandwich. Charlie the Butcher started with Charles E. in 1914. Today the signature Beef on Weck (named from the caraway and salt Kummelweck roll) remains a Buffalo tradition.

Pie typically doesn't evoke memories of crunchy foods. But on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, Alex forks her way into Beach Bakery Cafe's peach pie with a crunchy crumble topping that can't be beat. Room for seconds? Try their jelly-filled croissants.
