Guy checks out his own take on surf and turf. In Mayport, Fla., a 40-year-old fish shack getting shrimp fresh off the boat every day, and serving it nine different ways. In Manhattan Beach, Calif., a surf town cafe where the homemade menu goes from Italian pasta to Kahlua Pig Egg Rolls. And in Reno, Nev., a 54-year-old western diner doing beef-burgers by the pound.
This trip, Guy Fieri's taking a tasty tour through Tuscany, Italy. In Montecatini Alto, the hillside seafood spot serving up a squid ink specialty and a Mediterranean prawn-artichoke mashup. To the west in Collodi, Guy swings through the "birthplace of Pinocchio" to reunite with an old buddy dishing out legit spaghetti and outrageous lamb. Then, Guy's headed south for a bucket list experience of truffle hunting in the mountains of San Miniato. And finally to Lucca for one last stop, at a true Tuscan joint cooking up all kinds of totally fresh pasta with mussels and an out of bounds oxtail tortelli.
Guy Fieri hits the road to dig into the meat and catch some heat. There's a tucked-away panini paradise in Chehalis, Wash., and a funky Korean spot in Brentwood, Tenn., gettin' spicy with their chicken and bulgogi. Plus, in Houston, a barbecue joint throwin' some Tex-Mex into the mix with their brisket tacos and jalapeno sausage.
This trip Guy's heading out for some global flavor. In Brighton, Colo., a German joint specializing in homemade kraut and its own take on a kraut burger. In San Antonio, a Moroccan family restaurant doing the Moroccan Friday night favorite: couscous. And in Tampa, a taco to go spot that's brought the California classic fish taco 3,000 miles east.
This trip Guy's on the inside track to Kansas City barbeque. In an industrial neighborhood, an award winning pit master serving up the KC specialty, burnt ends. In a southern suburb, a classically trained chef putting his spin on smoked pork. Then just down the street, a joint where they're taking barbequed chicken to the deep fryer. And at an old wood yard, mixing up a one-of-a kind rub for baby back ribs.
This trip Guy's rolling in for scratch made done right. In East Boston, Mass., a second-generation Italian joint doing lobster ravioli with homemade pasta and fresh New England lobster. In Saint Paul, a burger joint stuffing double patties with everything from cheese to short ribs. And in Linden, N.J., the little diner that more than could.
This trip, Guy's in for some old school favorites and new school stunners. In Detroit, a Polish joint that's been around for decades, servin' up old standards like Hungarian pancakes with goulash. In Virginia Beach, Va., the little gift shop and cafe puttin' out totally homemade favorites like mama used to make, from chicken salad sandwiches to beef tenderloin. And in Vancouver, British Columbia, the innovative diner run by a couple of rockin' new wave chefs, servin' up homemade pulled pork with slaw.
This trip, Guy's slammin' on the breaks for some enticing eats. In Chicago, the authentic Cuban joint platin' up family recipes like the fricase de pollo. In Memphis, a high-end chef taking low-down Southern staples to whole new level like the chorizo meatloaf with green tomato gravy. And in Annapolis, Md., the sidewalk shack worth stopping for, with dishes like chipotle habanero barbecue pork sandwich.
This trip, Guy's headed to the places where families rule. In Memphis, the kid-inspired joint serving up the serious fried chicken. On the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, the Thai spot where mom and pop spice up the island with pad Thai, pork larb, and the big seller: garlic fried chicken wings. And in St. Louis, the Italian-Greek joint run by two brothers, serving up a town staple in fried ravioli and mom's recipe for dolmathes.
On this trip, Guy Fieri's enjoying a fun, filling fiesta. In Grand Junction, Colo., there's a legit pub serving scratch-made comfort, like elevated hash and a real deal Reuben. In Salt Lake City, a funky spot takin' tacos to a whole new level, and, in Nashville, Middle Eastern specialties that are as outrageous as the group cookin' them up.
