Ep 15. Takeout: Cross-Country

Takeout has become the new normal during the pandemic, and on this episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, host Guy Fieri is hitting the road to showcase some of the best takeout options across the country. From classic roadside joints to modern urban spots, Fieri is on a mission to prove that great food can still be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.

First up, Fieri heads to Charlotte, North Carolina to check out a family-owned deli that's been serving up delicious sandwiches for over 30 years. With a menu packed full of tasty options, Fieri can't resist trying their signature sandwich, which comes piled high with roast beef, turkey, cheese, and all the toppings.

Next, Fieri travels to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to visit a local BBQ joint that's been serving up award-winning smoked meats for over two decades. With a menu that features everything from brisket to ribs to pulled pork, Fieri knows he's in for a treat. But it's the unique side dishes, like the smoked mac and cheese and fried corn on the cob, that really steal the show.

Moving on to the West Coast, Fieri makes a stop in Santa Rosa, California to try some authentic Mexican food from a local restaurant that's been around for over 20 years. From tacos to burritos to tamales, this spot has it all, and Fieri can't wait to dig in. But it's the homemade salsas and mole sauces that really set this place apart.

Heading further up the coast, Fieri arrives in Portland, Oregon to check out a neighborhood joint that's known for its delicious burgers. But these aren't your ordinary burgers – they come topped with everything from peanut butter to jalapenos to mac and cheese. Fieri can't resist trying a few of their most popular options, including one that comes with a side of tater tots stuffed with cheese and bacon.

Finally, Fieri makes his way to Denver, Colorado to sample some of the city's best takeout. From classic pizza to innovative sushi, Denver has a vibrant food scene that's not to be missed. Fieri visits a small Italian joint that's been serving up delicious pies for over 50 years, as well as a modern sushi restaurant that's known for its creative rolls and fresh ingredients.

Throughout the episode, Fieri shows viewers that even during a pandemic, great food can still be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're craving barbecue or burgers, Mexican food or sushi, there's something for everyone on this cross-country culinary adventure. So sit back, relax, and let Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives take you on a delicious journey across America.
