Guy Fieri's trip around the U.S. is a culinary spin around the globe. First up in Alaska, Guy's headed to Santa's hometown, North Pole, where Chinese staples like Dragon Chicken are favorites all year 'round. Then, in Portland, Ore., meat is still king at a family-run German sausage joint, and a Ukrainian market is feeding the Minneapolis crowd authentic eats like cabbage rolls and bigos stew.

On this trip, Guy Fieri is hittin' up BBQ joints and pubs and checkin' out the local grub. In Pacifica, Calif., he revisits an old barbecue buddy to check out his take on pork ribs and a new spin on an old standby. Then, a neighborhood joint in Boulder, Colo., is still a favorite breakfast spot for the college crowd, serving crepes and corned beef hash, and a Minneapolis brewpub hits the road to dish out Minnesota staples like a wild rice burger.
