Guy Fieri uncovers three joints puttin' a piece of history on the table: In New Orleans, an oyster bar where nothing's changed since 1919 and the deep fried oysters are still hand-shucked and dredged in Grandpa's original recipe; in Pittsburgh, a neighborhood dive where Mama Nadine's dishin' up roast beef smothered in gravy, fried baloney and Na's Pasta -- all from behind a bar; and in Nebraska, Big Mama's cookin' her Grandma's soul food in an old school cafeteria -- pull up a tray for collard greens, peach cobbler and Big Mama's take on fried chicken.
Some of the tastiest stops on Guy Fieri's DDD road trip have been at Mexican joints, where generations-old family recipes and totally fresh ingredients combine to create incredible food. Coast to coast, from Chicago to Salt Lake City to San Diego, new twists on old classics are keeping tradition alive. From the chicken stuffed sopapilla at Salsa Brava to the pozole at La Texanita and the outta bounds smoked trout at Momocho, this one-hour special is stuffed to the brim with south of the border stunners.
This trip, Guy's checking out some tried and true local faves. In Kansas City, Mo., the neighborhood favorite killin' it with their scratch-made standouts like pork hash with black beans. Down the road in Kansas City, right on the Missouri/Kansas border, the former chef to the President of Italy dishing up authentic homemade pastas straight out of the family recipe book. And in Albuquerque, N.M., the southern pride joint situated on Route 66, serving up a smorgasbord of dishes from smoked barbecue chicken to specialty hot dogs.
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.
With restaurant takeout and delivery at an all-time high, on this trip, Guy Fieri is hosting a virtual Triple-D family reunion and bringing Flavortown to his own kitchen. Guy checks in with four DDD alums via video chat. All the chefs have sent Guy ingredients for their newest signature dishes, and they guide him through four knockout recipes so he can taste the out-of-bounds flavors. For this menu, Guy is cooking up chicken tamales from Arizona, Alabama paella fritters, European dumplings outta Vegas and a Kansas City burnt-end Philly cheesesteak.
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.
