This trip, Guy Fieri's diggin' creative home-cooked comfort! First, baked goods take center stage at a joint in Somerville, Mass., makin' savory scones and stackin' sweet-and-tangy meatloaf on English muffins. Then, just outside Columbus, Ohio, a distillery is complementing cocktails with elevated eats like the-bomb barbacoa nachos and off-the-chain chicken and biscuits. And a mom-and-pop soul food spot in Indianapolis is platin' family faves like Grandma's signature chicken and dumplings, plus a killer collard green grilled cheese.

This trip, Guy Fieri's grabbin' grub from Vietnamese to vegan with some major meat in between. There's a Minneapolis Southeast Asian spot cookin' up Balinese chicken thighs and Vietnamese pork belly crepes. A Jersey Shore joint is smokin' up real-deal BBQ stacked into Reuben and chicken sandwiches. And a husband-and-wife duo in Missoula, Mont., is bakin' plant-based, gluten-free faves, like artisan avocado on scratch-made multigrain, plus lights-out lemon-glazed doughnuts.
