The third spot on the list takes us to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, where Guy indulges in some good old-fashioned Southern comfort food at a soul food restaurant. They serve up classic dishes like fried chicken, mac and cheese, and collard greens, but their specialty is the pig ear sandwich - tender, crispy strips of pig's ear served on a soft bread roll, topped with homemade coleslaw.
In St. Louis, Missouri, Guy visits a restaurant that puts a unique spin on Mexican cuisine. They're famous for their chorizo-stuffed bacon-wrapped shrimp, served with a spicy chipotle dipping sauce. Next, he heads to a brewpub in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which not only offers a wide variety of craft beers but also serves up delicious pub grub. Guy samples their house specialty, a green chili cheeseburger, topped with roasted green chilies and served on a fluffy bun with a side of garlic fries.
The final destination on this cross-country culinary tour is in Phoenix, Arizona, where Guy visits an Italian restaurant with a twist. They specialize in wood-fired pizzas, but their claim to fame is their dessert - a massive, decadent chocolate calzone, stuffed with gooey, melted chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar.
