- May 12, 2017
Celebrity chef Guy Fieri is hitting the road once again, seeking out the best local eats across America in the latest season of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. In season 2017 episode 12, titled Turkey, Taters and Tarts, Fieri ventures to three different joints in search of flavorful fare.
First up is a diner in San Francisco that's become famous for its hearty breakfasts and extensive turkey menu. Fieri samples some of the restaurant's most beloved dishes, including a crispy turkey hash smothered in hollandaise sauce and a turkey and avocado club sandwich with house-made aioli. With a side of tater tots covered in gravy, this breakfast is sure to hit the spot.
Next, Fieri heads to a hole-in-the-wall in Philadelphia that's known for its unique take on potato chips. The restaurant hand-cuts every batch of chips daily, then seasons them with flavors like garlic parmesan, jalapeno cheddar, and even Old Bay seasoning. But the real star of the show is the massive baked potato topped with all the fixings, from bacon and cheese to sour cream and chives.
Finally, Fieri stops in at a cozy bakery in New Orleans that's serving up some of the city's most decadent desserts. From classic pecan pie to an indulgent triple-layer chocolate cake, this bakery has something sweet for every taste bud. But the pièce de résistance is the banana cream tart, made with a buttery crust, fresh bananas, and layers of creamy custard.
Throughout the episode, Fieri chats with the chefs and owners of each restaurant, learning about their culinary backgrounds and the inspiration behind their most popular dishes. As always, he's full of enthusiasm and appreciation for the food he's discovering on his journey. With Turkey, Taters and Tarts, viewers will enjoy a mouth-watering tour of some of America's most beloved diners, drive-ins, and dives.
