    #1 - Triple D Nation: Pickin' Up Flavor

    S53:E1

    This trip, Guy Fieri's pickin' up where he left off at some Flavortown hot spots! First, a gourmet taco spot in Phoenix has expanded, platin' new specialties like decadent deep-fried pink mole quesadillas and top-tier Tamarindo mahi-mahi tacos. Then, a Boston pizza joint now has two locations slingin' their signature pies and more, like the mac cheesy pizza and a toothsome turkey sub. And in Colleyville, Texas, African-inspired cuisine is goin' strong with out-of-bounds oxtails and their sexy fried chicken.

And a legit Laotian-American spot in Austin, Texas, is mixin' up mama's recipes, servin' the-bomb beef in a crispy rice salad and killer coconut escolar ceviche.

Plus, a family-run Thai spot in Los Angeles is puttin' their stamp on papaya piled high, the-bomb braised pork plate, and sorbet with a tom-yum twist.
