This trip, Guy's visiting some families keeping it real in the kitchen. In Nashville, the husband/wife duo taking to the streets in their gourmet food truck with unique versions of the good ol' grilled cheese sammie. Around the corner in the Sylvan Park area of Nashville, a totally authentic Italian spot staying true to grandma's recipes with their namesake lasagna and lamb shanks. And in Kansas City, Mo., the sibling-owned Chinese joint sharing some of their family traditions with dishes like chili pepper wontons and firebird chicken.
This trip, Guy's taking his place at the family table. In Holladay, Utah, the sibling-run Vietnamese joint serving up mom's legendary recipes for authentic dishes like pho and bahn mi. In Kailua, Hawaii, the brothers dedicating their lives to fulfilling dad's lifelong dream of having his own restaurant, and crankin' out island favorites like Hawaiian-style kalbi ribs and mochiko chicken. And in Salt Lake City, the Greek joint drawing inspiration from the family playbook and sourcing fresh ingredients straight from Greece for dishes like grilled octopus and righteous lamb tacos.
