    #1 - Hand to Mouth

    S56:E1

    This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbin' major flavor by the handful! First, a couple buddies are slingin' iconic Italian sandwiches in Tampa with primo prosciutto, scratch-made schiacciata, and legit chicken parm. Just outside Sacramento, Cali., a mom-and-pop street food spot is puttin' their spin on the-bomb brisket and crispy cod tacos. Plus, a Latin-inspired food truck is bringing comfort fusion to South Florida, makin' big-deal birria burgers and not-your-everyday ceviche.

    #2 - Triple D Nation: Seafood, Schnitzel and Spam

    S56:E2

    This trip, Guy Fieri's headed back to top spots servin' up some fresh takes! Just outside New Orleans, a sizzlin' seafood joint has expanded, still going boat-to-table with dynamite Delacroix drum nachos and the-bomb backyard boiled crawfish. An old-school diner with a tribute to the troops in Fountain Valley, Calif., is busier than ever, dishing out smoked spam loco moco and puttin' their stamp on pot roast. Then, in Chicago, a big-time beer bar is even more of a foodie destination, plating a prime-time pork schnitzel sandwich, plus poutine with beer cheese and bacon gravy.
