In this special episode, Guy Fieri takes a diner-intensive road trip -- from breakfast to late night -- all over the state that has more diners than any other place on earth: He checks out the Cyclops pancake with a fried egg in the middle at Mustache Bill's Diner by the lighthouse on Long Beach Island; homemade hash at the Hightstown Diner; legendary burgers made the same way for six decades at the White Manna in Hackensack; homemade moussaka at the Jefferson Diner in Lake Hopatcong; scratch made pie at the Ritz Diner in Livingston; and nightcaps like the Orange Martini made with Tang at the Skylark Diner in Edison.
Guy Fieri tracks down some great places that prove fast food can also be great food. In Fairhope, Ala., a where a trained chef is doing fast food the old European way -- pressed panini sandwiches, filled with everything homemade, even the mozzarella; in Austin, Texas, homemade tacos done every which way -- from breakfast, to carne asada, al pastor, fish tacos, and more -- and even the salsa is made from scratch; and in Gilbert, Ariz., a fast food joint right on the farm, where they're growing much of the menu out back, and the burgers and pizzas are made and topped with the freshest ingredients.
Guy has traveled far and wide in the ol' Camaro, hitting up a tasty variety of butchers, barbecue masters and grilling greats. In this one-hour DDD special, we'll relive some of the most incredible dishes ever created over flames and inside smokers. We're hitting everything from all-American burgers in Tampa, to smoked deli meats in Toronto, to octopus and jerk chicken all the way in Hawaii. And a grilling road trip this stacked wouldn't be complete without a trip to Texas for some classic 'cue. Tuck a napkin into your collar and dig in, this meat spectacular will have you hankerin' for seconds.

For the second battle, the lowest two chefs from the losing team will have fight for survival against their own teammate by creating the ultimate beach burger. In the end, one chef will be eliminated, and their all-American party will end in tears.
