In the fifth episode of season 17, Guy Fieri heads to three restaurants serving up some of the best comfort food in town. First, he visits a diner in Milwaukee known for their stuffed peppers. The dish is made with green peppers stuffed with Italian sausage, topped with a tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese, and baked to perfection. Guy also tries their pork schnitzel sandwich, which comes piled high with sauerkraut and Russian dressing.
Next, Guy travels to a barbecue joint in Knoxville, Tennessee, where he samples their famous pulled pork. The pork is slow-cooked for over 14 hours, smoked with hickory wood, and served on a bun with a side of coleslaw. He also tries their mac and cheese, made with a four-cheese blend and topped with panko breadcrumbs.
Finally, Guy heads to a restaurant in Seattle serving up Canadian classics, including poutine. The dish is made with crispy french fries, topped with cheese curds and gravy, and finished with a poached egg. Guy also samples their smoked meat sandwich and maple-glazed bacon.
Throughout the episode, Guy chats with the owners and chefs of each restaurant, learning about their history and unique twists on classic dishes. He also takes viewers behind-the-scenes to see how each dish is made and what makes it stand out from the rest.
Overall, this episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives is a must-watch for foodies looking for some of the best comfort food in the country. From stuffed peppers to pulled pork, and of course, poutine, these restaurants are sure to satisfy any craving.
