- December 22, 2017
Mom's Kitchen is the 30th episode of the 2017 season of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. In this episode, host Guy Fieri visits a variety of diners, drive-ins and dives to explore the comfort food and classic dishes made with love in kitchens across America.
The first stop on Guy's journey is a vintage diner in Denver, Colorado called The Lunchbox. Here, Guy meets the owner and head chef, who is carrying on her family's legacy of serving up classic American comfort food. The diner's signature dish is a hearty meatloaf sandwich served with mac and cheese, and Guy can't get enough of it.
Next, Guy travels to Salem, Oregon, to visit a farm-to-table restaurant called Straight From New York Pizzeria. The restaurant's specialty is their New York-style pizza, made with fresh ingredients and cooked in a wood-fired oven. Guy samples a variety of toppings and can't decide which one is his favorite.
Guy's third stop is in Seattle, Washington, at a restaurant called Cafe Presse. This French-inspired cafe serves up classic dishes like onion soup, croque-monsieur, and escargot. Guy tries the cafe's take on the classic French dip sandwich and is blown away by the combination of tender beef and crispy bread.
In Tacoma, Washington, Guy visits Southern Kitchen, a soul food restaurant run by a mother-and-son team. The menu is filled with classic dishes like fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread. Guy samples the restaurant's famous catfish and finds it to be perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Guy's final stop is at a diner in Boise, Idaho, called Big City Coffee and Cafe. The diner's specialty is their massive cinnamon rolls, which are larger than Guy's head. He also tries the cafe's homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich, a classic combination that never gets old.
Throughout the episode, Guy meets the passionate chefs and owners behind each restaurant, and learns about their unique approaches to cooking comfort food. From classic American diners to French cafes and soul food restaurants, Mom's Kitchen showcases the diverse and delicious flavors of American cuisine.
