Comfort Food With Attitude

This trip Guy's rolling out for a new take on old favorites. In Truckee, Calif., a vintage diner taking meatloaf to a whole new level. In Cincinnati, a chili parlor taking the local favorite to the next level; and in Atlantic Beach, Fla., an Irish pub making a Guinness Beef stew recipe straight from the Emerald Isle.

Late Night Legends

On DDD, Guy has sampled some of the best food in America and its border buddies. Many of those joints have a special way of keeping us up late, like polka and pierogi at Nye's Polonaise Room, and servin' up outrageous food well into the midnight hour, like the around-the-clock menu at Sip and Bite. From triple decker duck at Tattooed Moose to top notch pub grub at Tampa Bay Brewing Company to 24-hour spots from coast to coast, one thing all these late night haunts have in common is great food at all hours.
