Guy Fieri takes a Southern swing to check out different varieties of BBQ including a Mississippi barbecue "dive" where the locals like it sweet, a New Orleans, a little place doing North Carolina style pulled pork and outside San Antonio, Tx., visits a sprawling barbecue complex.
This trip, Guy Fieri's diving into next-level barbecue fusion, the freshest catch and more! Texas meets Ethiopia at a Dallas-area barbecue joint, where they're cookin' up pork ribs with awaze glaze, the-bomb berbere mac, and big-time brisket injera nachos. There's farm-and-boat-to-table with a West Coast influence in Naples, Fla., plating gangster grouper ceviche and a gluten-free twist on beignets. Then, it's scratch-made Mexican in Atlanta from a second-generation chef, serving craveable carnitas and a fully loaded barbacoa tortilla sandwich.

The stakes get even higher when Nana and Papa show up, two native Texans ready to see if Selena's dish can make the grade and the menu!
Guy Fieri's firing up an entire world of barbecue on this trip. In Wilmington, Del., a righteous spot smokin' up chicken salad and off-the-chain chili. In San Diego, a real-deal joint doing their 'cue with Argentinian flavor, and a traditional Hawaiian pig roast down in the ground in Kauai.
