Guy Fieri hits a Raiders home game for tailgating with chefs from three local joints. They're bringing the kitchen to the blacktop and cranking out chicken and waffles, double chili cheeseburgers, steak sandwiches with jalapeno pesto, and smoked pork chops with applesauce.
Things are cookin' all kinds of ways in Flavortown. First, Guy Fieri checks in on a diner in San Diego where law enforcement hones their skills and stuffs their gills. Then, a French-trained-chef-turned-barbecue-expert teaches Guy a thing or two about smoking sausage in Mission, Kan. And finally, in Phoenix, a Triple D legend serves up a Mexican-Asian mashup that has never been matched.
Guy Fieri revisits some of the best of Flavortown, starting in San Diego, where an Asian-inspired noodle house is takin' over the neighborhood. In New Orleans, a neighborhood bistro not only bounced back from Hurricane Katrina but made room for double the number of diners. Plus, an award-winning barbecue joint in Iowa is rollin' out all over the city.
On this trip, Guy Fieri crosses the border to Vancouver, British Columbia, to check in on an elevated eatery serving the ultimate in diner food, from confit duck to pancakes. In Austin, Texas, a barbecue joint whose claim to fame -- and its name -- is all in the wood, and a Korean-inspired, French oven-baked pizza parlor in Minneapolis knockin' out killer creations and piling 'em on the perfect pies.
Guy Fieri revisits an old favorite he's been going to for years in San Francisco, but nowadays it's his buddy who's on the line serving up cod rillettes and chowder with a surprise ingredient. In St. Paul, the Godfather of pasta is still servin' scratchmade everything, including a twist on mac and cheese, and in Superior, Wis., a neighborhood hot spot has added some new appetizers with influence from up north.
On this trip, Guy Fieri's plate is full of hearty, heaping helpings. First up, he stops by a neighborhood joint in Pittsburgh that's still servin' local staples and family favorites. Then, a Florida diner with inspiration from up North is spreading out all over the South, and in Oklahoma, the second generation is churning out award-winning chili on all kinds of creations.
Guy rolls in for food done fresh and a little different. In San Francisco, one of Guy Fieri's favorite ocean-side spots serving up fresh Dungeness crab. In Reno, Nev., the neighborhood cafe doing scratch made granola. And in Charlotte, N.C., whole turkeys ... not roasted, but boiled.
This trip Guy's rolling out for a new take on old favorites. In Truckee, Calif., a vintage diner taking meatloaf to a whole new level. In Cincinnati, a chili parlor taking the local favorite to the next level; and in Atlantic Beach, Fla., an Irish pub making a Guinness Beef stew recipe straight from the Emerald Isle.
Guy Fieri heads out for serious fast food. He visits a Naraganset, R.I., joint with more than 20 burgers on the menu; a place in Eagle Rock, Calif., slow-smoking barbequed pork; a family-run taqueria in Rosenberg, Texas, where dessert is something called a "snoball."
On this trip, Guy Fieri checks in on some favorite East Coast eats. His first stop is a neighborhood joint that's still dishin' out diner classics from a cramped kitchen. Then, a mother-son duo doubled their Boston footprint by serving staples from south of the border. In Baltimore, third time is the charm with this out-of-bounds pit beef stand.
