Ep 5. All Day Dining

Guy Fieri is back on the road for season 20 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and in this episode, he's all about all-day dining. From breakfast to dinner and everything in between, Guy is visiting some of the best spots for non-stop deliciousness.

The first stop on Guy's all-day dining adventure is in San Antonio, Texas, at a place called Tommy's Restaurant. Tommy's has been around for over 70 years and is known for their classic breakfast dishes like pancakes, waffles, and eggs benedict. But they also have a killer lunch menu with sandwiches, burgers, and even homemade chicken fried steak. Guy meets up with the owner, Tommy, who shows him how they make their famous pancakes with a secret ingredient. Guy then tries the chicken fried steak and is blown away by the tenderness of the meat and the crispy coating.

Next up is a spot in Portland, Oregon, called Stoopid Burger. This food cart is known for their massive burgers and crazy toppings like mac and cheese and Fritos. Guy meets with the owner, Josh, who shows him how they make their signature burger, The Stoopid. It's a behemoth of a burger with two beef patties, bacon, cheese, onion rings, and BBQ sauce. Guy takes on the challenge and takes a huge bite of the burger, barely able to fit it in his mouth. He's impressed by the combination of flavors and textures and even goes back for another bite.

In Raleigh, North Carolina, Guy visits a place called Pam's Farmhouse. As the name suggests, they serve up classic comfort food in a cozy farmhouse setting. But what sets them apart is their all-day breakfast menu. Guy chats with the owner, Pam, who shows him how they make their famous biscuits from scratch. He then tries the biscuits and gravy, which he says is one of the best he's ever had. Pam also shows him how they make their signature omelette, which is filled with bacon, mushroom, and cheese.

In Los Angeles, California, Guy visits a place called All Day Baby, which is known for their modern take on Southern cuisine. They serve up all-day breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a focus on local, seasonal ingredients. Guy meets up with the chef, Jonathan, who shows him how they make their famous chicken fried chicken, which is served with mashed potatoes and gravy. Guy is blown away by the flavors and textures and even tries a bite of their homemade biscuit. He also tries one of their inventive cocktails, which is garnished with candy.

The final stop on Guy's all-day dining adventure is in Austin, Texas, at a place called Launderette. This restaurant is located in a converted laundromat and serves up New American cuisine with an international twist. Guy meets with the executive chef, Rene, who shows him how they make their signature pasta dish, which is made with green garlic and topped with a poached egg. Guy is impressed by the perfect balance of flavors and even tries a bite of their wood-fired oysters, which are served with a spicy chorizo butter.

Overall, Guy's all-day dining adventure highlights some of the best spots for non-stop deliciousness. From classic breakfast dishes to inventive cocktails, there's something for everyone. And as always, Guy's enthusiasm and love of food makes for an entertaining and delicious journey.
