In the eighth episode of the thirteenth season of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, host Guy Fieri sets out to explore restaurants that specialize in multitasking. These eateries are known not only for their mouthwatering cuisine but also for their ability to juggle multiple things at once.
First on the list is a family-owned diner in Austin, Texas, that serves up a variety of comfort foods, including chicken-fried steak and pork chops, while also offering a dance floor for customers to bust a move.
Next, Guy heads to a restaurant in San Diego, California, that combines Korean and Mexican flavors to create dishes like Korean beef tacos and kimchi quesadillas. The owner, who moved to the United States from South Korea when he was just seven years old, shares how he infuses his dishes with flavors from his homeland.
In the third stop, Guy visits Aiken, South Carolina, where a husband-and-wife team run a restaurant that serves up classic Southern dishes like fried chicken and barbecue pork, while also offering a boutique and gift shop on the premises.
Moving on to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Guy heads to a restaurant that specializes in seafood boils, where customers are encouraged to eat with their hands and get messy. The owner shares how he developed his unique, Cajun-inspired seasoning blend that makes his boils stand out from the rest.
Finally, Guy travels to Denver, Colorado, where he visits a restaurant that offers a unique take on burgers and shakes. The menu includes unconventional items like a pastrami reuben burger and a bacon-wrapped chili burger, as well as hand-spun milkshakes in flavors like peanut butter and jelly and blueberry pancake.
Throughout the episode, Guy sample dishes from each restaurant and meets the owners and chefs behind the multitasking establishments. He also shares his own insights and commentary on the food and atmosphere of each venue, providing viewers with a glimpse into some of America's most unique and innovative eateries.
