From crispy, juicy fried chicken and hearty chili cheese fries to zesty taco burgers and deep-fried hot dogs, diners are pulling up for a taste of Americana and a sidecar of nostalgia at these drive-ins across the country.
Guy Fieri searches out some classic joints cranking out classic food: A 60-year-old Pennsylvania Diner transplanted to Miami's South Beach, with a classic diner menu, and some other specialties you wouldn't expect to find here; in Topeka, Kan., a drive-in straight out of the fifties, where the burgers and fries still come to your car, but they're also making apple pie from scratch. And the oldest restaurant in Memphis, a classic southern tea room from 1918 -- with a classic southern menu, and an international twist.
This trip, Guy Fieri's going where viewers sent him. In Lexington, Ky., a restored 1951 drive-in that's still serving the same double burger that made it famous. In Jacksonville, Fla., a diner in an old soda shop, scratch-making a menu that goes from meatloaf to stuffed French toast. And in Minneapolis, a breakfast joint celebrates 60 years as a neighborhood favorite.

Guy Fieri finds great Italian food in places you'd never expect: The Tennessee drive-in where they make their own meat sauce and bring the pasta to your car; the 1940s New York Diner, shipped to Texas, that's serving east coast Italian sausage peppers; and the bar in a Las Vegas strip mall where they make the best Stromboli Guy's ever had.
