Journey to Flavor Town
Ever wish you could eat like his husband? Guy Fieri, the passionate host of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, shares some of America’s best comfort food and lesser-known dishes. I’ve traveled all over the country many times to discover restaurants that aren’t. While we may not have the opportunity to visit all of these eateries ourselves, the Food His network website does a good job of documenting some of the most classic and delicious dishes Fieri ate.
Looking to get creative in the kitchen? We’ve rounded up some of the most mouth-watering and unexpected recipes from Triple D restaurants.
1. Meatloaf Panini Sandwich
From “Once Upon a Time” in Chehalis, Washington
Meatloaf sandwiches are truly the best, but they never get enough praise. Toasted panini bread is the perfect texture to balance out this bad boy.

2. Crispy Pickled Pig Ear with Alabama White Sauce
From Wrecking Bar Brewpub in Atlanta
The tangy, fatty flavor of Alabama White Sauce (one of our favorite unique comfort foods) pairs perfectly with the crispy, salty pig ears. If you’re in Atlanta and enjoy burgers, beer, and ears, Wrecking Bar Brewpub seems like a no-brainer.

3. Cheeseburger fried rice
From the Chinese Reds in New Orleans
This is what fusion cuisine is all about. We’re talking about the comforting umami flavor that fried rice usually brings, infused with the power of a cheeseburger. This seems very hard to beat.

4. Giant cream puffs at the Grammy Awards
From Grammy Prize in Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Cannoli? Tiramisu? The Italian dessert is So 2023. All you need this year is cream puffs, and those big Grammy honkers will do the trick.

7. Peacemaker
From Mahoney’s Po’boy Shop in New Orleans
There’s the shrimp po-boy, the oyster po-boy, and the peacemaker who unites them. This is the harmony we’re talking about, with melted cheese, fried shrimp, and fried oysters adding a beautiful little twist to surf and turf.
