Guy Fieri searches out some off-the-hook specials from coast to coast.

(brought to its location by a team of horses in 1926); checkin' out the Chili Verde omelet at The Coffee Cup in Boulder City, Nev., and the "great for what ails you" John Wayne Breakfast at the Gaffey Street Diner in San Pedro, Calif.

Episode 5 - Local Legends

Guy Fieri finds out what only the locals know at some places that have been drawing hometown crowds for years. The A1 diner in Gardiner, Maine, where they're cooking up gourmet specials in a 60-year-old classic; Leo's Barbecue in Oklahoma City for amazing ribs in a former gas station. And the Eveready Diner in Hyde Park, N.Y., where after more than half a century, they bake their own bread and even the pancake batter is made completely from scratch.

     

Episode 6 - Burgers

Guy Fieri chases down some of the best of America's signature dish at three classic burger joints: Hackney's in Chicago, where they serve them inside out; The Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, Calif., where a third-pound burger is topped with a quarter pound of cheese and steamed with ice to create a huge, messy delight; and The Triple X Drive-In in West Lafayette, Ind., where they've created a burger made with peanut butter.

Guy Fieri stops in for some one-of-a-kind specials: The Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, N.H., where they're cooking homemade Twinkies and have been baking 20 kinds of pie since 1922; Voulas Cafe in Seattle for their signature "Hobo scramble" breakfast; and Hank's Creekside in Santa Rosa, Calif., where they serve every kind of "Benedict" imaginable.

     

Episode 8 - Retro

Guy Fieri rolls out to some legendary joints that take visitors back in time, like Taylor's Automatic Refresher in St. Helena, Calif., an original 1940s take-out only burger joint where nothing has changed -- except the choice of burgers now includes Ahi Tuna. At Southside Soda Shop and Diner in Goshen, Ind., it's a total 1960s experience with the special homemade chili over spaghetti in a parfait glass. And Byways Cafe in Portland, where the red vinyl booths and checkered floor keep it feeling like the 1950s, and they make their own corned beef hash and key lime pie.

     

Episode 9 - Worth the Trip

Guy Fieri goes the extra mile to check out some places well worth traveling to, starting with The Big Star Diner on Bainbridge Island off Seattle, reachable only by ferry, where the homemade chorizo scramble and salmon hash are totally worth the trip.
