This trip, Guy's taste buds are in for a culinary adventure. In Bakersfield, Calif., the classic cafe dishing out meaty Texas chili and decadent pumpkin pancakes. Across town, the hidden gem piling up a peanut butter burger alongside all kinds of delicious desserts, like homemade "Bacon Love" ice cream. And in Phoenix, the gourmet taco spot mixing up a mean mole.

This trip, Guy Fieri's checkin' out high octane joints in Charlotte, N.C., with NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer. First, the relocated Triple-D alum dishing out dynamite burgers and a unique spin on shrimp. Then, the go-kart track serving revved-up sandwiches like steak with fig preserves and smoking hot chicken. And parked at the Charlotte Speedway, the funky food truck firing up tasty flavors like chana masala tacos and buffalo cauliflower sliders.
