Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives (2007) : 53x6

This trip, Guy Fieri's divin' into a smorgasbord of texture and flavor! A BBQ bistro in Sherman Oaks, Calif., is cookin' up eclectic riffs on the classics like sticky ribs with a Korean twist and the-bomb brisket noodles. There's an upscale diner from a husband-and-wife team in Cincinnati, doctoring up a dirty French burger with mouthwatering mornay sauce and platin' top-notch chili crunch chicken nuggets. And in Austin, Texas, a funky veggie-forward spot is firin' up from-scratch vegan patties with a chipotle pesto punch, plus a primo pasta margarita.
