In season 2015 episode 10 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, host Guy Fieri takes us on a food adventure through Charlotte, North Carolina. This lively city has a growing food scene and some amazing chefs and eateries that Guy is eager to discover.

The episode starts at a local spot called Snooze Eatery, where they serve up delicious breakfast classics with a twist. Guy tries the pancake flight, a unique dish that features three different pancake flavors, including a blueberry Danish, sweet potato, and pineapple upside-down.

Next, Guy heads to The King’s Kitchen, a unique restaurant that not only serves up southern comfort food but also gives back to the community. This non-profit establishment hires people who are struggling with unemployment or homelessness and helps provide them with the training and assistance they need to get back on their feet. Guy tries their fried chicken, mac and cheese, and banana pudding- all with a purpose.

Guy then makes his way to South 21 Drive-In, a classic spot for burgers and hot dogs that has been around since 1955. The restaurant even has a vintage car sit inside, transporting customers back in time as they enjoy their meal. Guy samples their famous “all the way” hot dog, which includes chili, onions, and slaw, along with their popular burger topped with chili and cheese.

After all that savory food, Guy satisfies his sweet tooth at Amélie’s French Bakery, a cozy spot known for its pastries and whimsical interior design. Guy tries their salted caramel brownie and an almond croissant, both delicious treats that will leave viewers drooling.

Guy then heads to Papi Queso Food Truck, a unique eatery that serves up creative grilled cheese sandwiches. The truck uses artisanal bread and farmhouse cheeses, along with unique toppings like slow-roasted pork and pickled onions. Guy tries their “Southern, Not Stupid” sandwich, which features pimento cheese and crispy fried chicken on a grilled brioche bun- a twist on a southern classic.

Finally, Guy visits Roots Cafe, a farm-to-table restaurant that’s committed to using fresh, local ingredients in their dishes. Guy enjoys their braised bacon sandwich, which features tender pork belly with a sweet chili glaze, served on a homemade biscuit. He also tries their Thai-style green curry, made with locally sourced vegetables and served over rice.

Throughout the episode, Guy is blown away by the passion and creativity of Charlotte’s food scene, and viewers are sure to be inspired to try some of these dishes for themselves. From classic southern comfort food to innovative cuisine, this episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives has it all.
