From classic American burger joints to small, family-owned pizza parlors, Guy samples some of the biggest and boldest bites around.

Guy chows down on a double cheeseburger topped with crispy bacon and a fried egg, followed by a massive plate of loaded waffle fries. Next up, Guy heads to a Kansas City barbecue joint for some mouth-watering brisket and burnt ends. He tries them both dry and covered in sauce, sampling the different flavors and textures of this classic BBQ fare.
Moving on to Chicago, Guy visits a family-owned hot dog stand that's been serving up their famous "Depression Dogs" since 1929. These dogs are topped with everything from chili and cheese to onions and pickles, and are best enjoyed at the stand's outdoor picnic tables. From there, Guy heads to a San Diego sandwich shop for some hearty Italian subs, loaded with deli meats, cheese, and tangy peppers.
The next stop on Guy's itinerary is a New Orleans diner that's been serving breakfast all day (and all night) since 1949. Here, Guy tries their famous "Debris Po'Boy," a hearty sandwich made with slow-cooked beef roast and topped with gravy and melted cheese. He also samples some of the diner's classic breakfast dishes, like fluffy pancakes and crispy bacon.
After some Louisiana-style comfort food, Guy heads back to the Midwest for some classic pizza at a family-owned joint in Minneapolis. This spot is known for its thin, crispy crust and creative toppings, like sausage and sauerkraut or chicken alfredo. Guy tries a few different pies, getting a taste of the unique combinations that keep this pizza place packed with loyal customers.
The final stop on Guy's tour is a dessert shop in New York City, where he indulges in some seriously decadent sweets. From towering ice cream sundaes to overstuffed cannolis, this shop has something for every sweet tooth. Guy samples a few different treats, feeling like a kid again with every delicious bite.
Overall, "Big Time Bites" is a satisfying episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives that celebrates the best in American comfort food. Whether you're in the mood for BBQ, pizza, hot dogs, or dessert, Guy Fieri has got you covered.
