Simply Viêtnam Express (Santa Rosa, Calif.) • Cochon Volant BBQ (Sonoma, Calif.) • The Fold (Little Rock, Ark.)

Guy Fieri is digging into all kinds of carnivore creations. First up, a Fieri family Vietnamese favorite in Santa Rosa ladlin’ up phenomonal phở. In the heart of California Wine Country, an old-school stickburnin’ joint rocking’ the best Southern ‘cue with a NorCal twist. And in Little Rock, a retro gas station servin’ up righteous Mexi-fusion comfort combos like bison burritos and pork and waffles.

Matteo's Osteria (Wailea, Maui, Hawaii) • Dick's Northwest Sausage & Deli (Centralia, Wash.) • Be More Pacific (Houston, Tex.)

On this trip, Guy's digging into all-American and foreign favorites. On Maui, the husband-and-wife Italian joint puttin' five layers of love in its homemade lasagna and lamb osso bucco. In Centralia, Wash., a real-deal meat market is stackin' up serious sandwiches, including their killer pastrami. And in Houston, a funky spot firin' up Filipino flavor with a Texan twist.
