Diners, Drive-ins and Dives

Guy Fieri visits Sweetie Pie’s in St. Louis to try out the diner’s famous macaroni and cheese. Owner Robbie Montgomery, who opened Sweetie Pie’s in 1997, shares her mac and cheese recipe with Guy. She starts by adding two pounds of Velveeta cheese to elbow macaroni. She then adds one pound each of shredded cheddar cheese and shredded Colby jack cheese. Robbie adds two huge spoons of sour cream to the mix. Guy helps her add butter, margarine, salt, pepper, sugar, five eggs and milk. Robbie whisks everything together and bakes it until the top is melted and brown. Guy digs in and claims that if they got him a stool and a bib, he’d stay there all day.

Join Guy Fieri as he visits The Green Mesquite BBQ restaurant in Austin, Texas. Known for their brisket, ribs, scratch-made jambalaya and a variety of sandwiches, Guy is there to try Green Mesquite's chicken fried steak. Owner Tom Davis walks Guy through his process for making this Texas favorite. Tom whisks eggs and whole milk together to create the batter. He then mixes self-rising flour, a seasoned pepper mix (salt, sugar, pepper and dried bell peppers) and dry ranch dressing mix for the breading. The steak is first coated in batter before being covered with breading mix. Tom repeats the process, double-dipping the steak before deep-frying it for three minutes. Tom coats the steak with lots of white gravy before dishing it up. Guy takes a bite, noting it's tender enough to be cut with a fork, and mentioning that he can taste the ranch dressing in the batter, which is one of the thickest he's ever had on a country fried steak.
