This trip, Guy Fieri's getting a taste of yesteryear. In Duluth, the Italian market/restaurant stacking up hearty homemade lasagna and a monster muffaletta. In Eugene, Ore., DDD's first all-vegan spot serving their signature tofu sammy and frozen peanut butter pie. And in Delta, Wis., the real deal retro diner dishing out righteous red-eye gravy and a surprising spin on the pancake, where he's joined by Jimmy John Liautaud and his family.
On this trip, Guy Fieri is grabbin' straight from the garden. In Portland, Ore., he checks in on restaurant vets who closed down their original nose-to-tail eatery and opened a farm-to-table vegan joint. In Cleveland, a cafe is still sourcing local staples and making everything from scratch, and finally, a brunch spot in Virginia Beach, Va., literally bought the farm to grow their own ingredients for their take on potato pancakes.
Guy Fieri sends his pal Noah Cappe to visit Paducah, Kentucky, where he'll meet up with celebrity chefs Aarti Sequeira and Joe Sasto. As the "Bite Club," they’ll dive into the local food scene, trying the best dishes at the hottest restaurants. They taste everything from BBQ and BLTs to seafood and vegan fare as they each try to select one dish for a panel of Guy's esteemed judges to decide the top local dish!
When it comes to versatility, beans slap! Mary Berg uses this tasty, cost-effective ingredient to pack a nutrition punch in her no-fail Black Bean Brownies and make a hearty classic like Linguini with White Bean Cream Sauce completely vegan! Then, Mary's Pizza Beans jazz up dried butter beans into a super cheesy topping for store-bought pizza dough, while Pan Fried Chickpeas make great croutons for her Tahini Caesar Salad.
