On this trip, Guy Fieri's digging into all-American and foreign favorites. In Houston, a funky spot firin' up Filipino flavor with a Texas twist. In Centralia, Wash., a real-deal meat market stackin' up serious sandwiches, and in Maui, Hawaii, authentic Italian served with plenty of personality.
Nancy and her husband David are celebrating their Wedding Anniversary: She's surprising him with a scrumptious meal, and he's surprising her with a hot air balloon ride!

America is a land of sandwiches: We love the classics and can be fiercely protective of the way they're built. Jeff respects the great sandwiches too, but that doesn't mean he's not going to tinker from time to time. So in this episode, he heads to Gramwich, where chef Merlin Verrier has been tweaking the mainstays of the American sandwich pantheon for years. The visit with Merlin inspires Jeff to reimagine the venerable BLT using pancetta instead of bacon and subbing avocado crema for mayo. Then he dishes up a Sloppy Joe that gets its flavor from the markets of central Mexican, but brings it back stateside thanks to a tangle of crisp onion rings. America's never tasted better!
Amy and Chris dig into a comfort food staple – sandwiches. Amy starts the meal off right with a Tinto de Verano as Chris and Amy wax nostalgic about their trip to Spain. Chris then teaches Amy the art of making sandwiches, including a Roasted Vegetable and Amy’s dream train station sandwich of Prosciutto with Brie, accompanied by a Panzanella Salad. Amy and Chris decide the only answer for being quarantined is a good carbo-load. Chris starts up the feast with two kinds of Pasta, some Radishes and a Sweet Pea Crostini to go along with a refreshing Crab, Tomato and Avocado Salad. Amy then sits back to relax with a large glass of wine.
